Umm...timing on this?

I'd argue that my character never stopped attacking, and your character stepped in after you realized he wasnt stopping.

Right. My intent was to stop the attack from happening.

Damage Asa, I guess.

Can I try a Foresee check to glean something useful for us in the immediate future?

@awayputurwpn that's how I was understanding it. It still reads right in IC. @Rakaydos that's 5 conflict for attacking him on the ground tho.

Of course, I'll allow it once ever encounter, more or less. Just try to be specific if you want to know something exact.

As a side note, I've always thought of Foresee as possible futures. It's the current flow of times perception of the future. Can you try to change it? Yes. Could it show you a future where you would have tryed to change it and still ended up with the same results? Yes. It goes round and round but like I said it's "a possible future".

That puts me up to 7 so far, I believe, due to use of dark pips.

So the timing on my interjection, before the dice roll/IC post, doesn't matter?

I understand his intent, but I also expressed intent before the action happened. Can't Asa take the hit instead, since I actively sought to stop the attack?

This is just weird. The way it plays out, we are just going about our business as the dude gets continually mauled in the middle of the gathering. I really don't like this.

Out of character, what are you trying to accomplish? I dont think anyone's trying to hand out "knowing inaction" on your responce, so why is it important you interrupt?

Yea, my post really should have been near the top of the out of combat events, but I was busy. Think of it as a retcon.

Asa wouldn't just stand by and let a guy get mauled while he read through a datapad or introduced himself to people. So I'm trying to work with your retcon in a way that is appropriate. I'm not trying to fight knowing inaction or anything. It's just a really weird sequence of events.

And I'm saying to not treat it as a sequence. If we had thread edit powers, move my and your posts to the top, but since we dont, we have to ignore it.

Sorry, my line from above got deleted somehow. Was supposed to read, "Like I mentioned earlier, I'm trying to save a life and to obtain a useable uniform.

Yeah I'm RPing it similar to how Dune handles precognition, as threads of possibility, hence my use of the word thread ICly. My plan, just as an aside, is to buy into Battle Meditation. I see Foresee as reading the potential threads, and BM as actively taking hold of them and trying to direct them.


As to a specific topic to try and Foresee, I'm personally thinking of using it to try and find a safe passage out, but this is an open question to the group. How badly do you want your gear? I could potentially try and Foresee the password to open Evidence and get us our stuff, but for my PC, that's not that important, he has very little. However, if any of you have some really snazzy weapons/etc that would greatly improve our odds, I'm totally fine with trying to get them out. Assuming looking for the one future where I guess the right password is approved by the GM.

So yeah, players, Foresee for gear? Or Foresee for clues on how to get out?

@Rakaydos I think a small bit of narrative before your attack roll about everyone else moving about their business and the urge to kill the guard would solve the timing issues.

You and @awayputurwpn will have roleplaying differences, it'd to be expected when theres a chaotic evil and lawful good in the same party. Small compromises is all that's needed so both of you can play out your characters fully.

Asa is literally standing over the guard. Is my post saying that I would try to stop him, which occurred prior to the dice roll, invalid?

Sorry I'm going to block the password attempt. It's a real phase or word that can be figured out.

Not sure why it being a real phrase or word excludes it from being something I could glean with Foresee, but whatever, I'll just look for an escape route off the Star Destroyer then. Is that acceptable?

It's not invalid. There is a limitation of this medium that we will need to understand. I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for? Remove the attack roll?

It's less about forsee and more about the possibility of not getting gear.

Escape route is ok, and probably much more interesting.

I'm looking to interact. Maybe to take the hit, or at least mitigate the damage to the guard or to the uniform. My aim was to save the life of the guard whose family I just saw on the datapad, and to save the uniform from destruction. With that in mind, my intent with that "Asa will stop him" post was to stop the attack from happening, interposing myself between the attacker and the NPC.

I'm okay with it costing me something.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not trying to remove the dice roll. Not trying to take away @Rakaydos action. I'm just looking to mitigate it, owing to the fact that I did post an interjection before the roll even happened.

Ok I understand now. You will take that triumph crit and any wounds then. Make sure to add it to your post without Raks follow-up post needing to be edited if possible.

With gear, I'd argue that we stand a better chance of getting out and surviving once we're out!
