With Matthis being a nemesis he does have adversary 2 which upgrades the attack twice.

I'll roll again

Gunnery potshot at Matthis : 3eA+2eC+2eD 0 successes, 2 threat

Still close enough to make him flinch... it ok if Chemdat takes 2 strain for the threat?

@Rabobankrider Can Arvel be sitting in the base's comm room (by himself, since everyone else is gone) when @player3333902 and friends get to Gorse?

I think the people on Dantooine are going to have to take 1 conflict each for theft (mitigated for the corruption/evil spin on things). Whoever it flying please do me a hard piloting (planetary) check.

@player3333902 , ic you would know that the republic has a base on Gorse, may be a handy place to hide out and plan your next move.

@EliasWindrider no need for a deception check to help Teetoe, if he's alive he can get away.

I thought about suggesting corellia as being a place we could sell the first order ship and then buy something ubiquitous (something corellian) to help us blend in then happen to run into Korath and the others one planet over, but maybe we could switch rides on gorse and get arvel at the same time.

I'm really surprised at the 1 (any) conflict for stealing a shuttle from lthe first order, it's a pacifist/non violent way (nobody got hurt) to hinder/inconvenience the war effort of an evil regime who just committed war crimes. Would donating the shuttle to the resistance so we don't profit from it negate the one conflict?

I'm going to request a reevaluation of conflict awards so far and the primary reason I'm asking is my tally so far is at least 10 conflict, and I'm wondering if my monologue to save the puppeted troopers prevented another one, and if not this one could make 12. And I'm pretty sure we took the least violent option for getting of planet. Granted I took 2 on the chin for meta game reasons to avoid player conflict and 3 for drawing on darkside to take the least violent option but even excepting those (which I'm not contesting) that's 5-7 conflict for taking the path that minimized the total loss of life, and the session's not over. That seems a bit much to me (I would have ruled 9 conflict total for Elias so far, but I'm only really asking for a either reevaluation of 2 of the 12 potential conflict, or actions I could take to mitigate 2). So that's the petition and I won't ask again after your ruling.

@EliasWindrider because you guys are out of combat I'll say strain is fine in this case.

@Jonas Shaaf he can indeed.

@EliasWindrider the conflict for the theft isn't based on the violence (or lack of it) during the theft. It was already mitigated down from the usual amount due to who you were stealing from. I'm afraid I also can't take into account your current conflict tally when assigning conflict later on, otherwise it reduces the meaning of it.You did take the least violent option, but sometimes there are 'no win scenarios' where you have to take the lesser of two evils. There may well be times when conflict is simply unavoidable, especially in a violent setting like this one. I don't feel like I can reduce the conflict any more than I have already. We're approaching the last couple of planets now and I don't anticipate there being much more in terms of conflict worthy scenarios.

Ok so you guys passed the piloting check so you have a chance to escape before the fighters arrive. Can I get an average astrogation check with a setback (rushed) from the co-pilot.

Also people on Drall, what's your plan atm? I can't move things too much onto Gorse till you lot are done.

I'm just waiting on @TheShard to respond to Korath's "recruitment speech".

Hey guys, I just need 3 more people for the 2nd squad in my game! Hopefully some of you guys can join!

@Stormbourne please roll the astrogation check 4eA+2eD+1eS

the best way to get out of here : 4eA+2eD+1eS 2 successes, 1 threat

@Rabobankrider "we'll be safe enough once we make the jump to lightspeed'

Forsee : 4eF 3 Light Side, 2 Dark Side

What does the force tell me about the fate of this request?

@Rabobankrider , we need an In character response from Kark, when you're ready. ?

@TheShard , you would see the hamlet you guys currently are in, but as you see it the scene suddenly zooms out as if you were seeing it from a birds view. The visions continues to go northward, back in the direction that you had travelled earlier that day. You see the ice caps, and the vision zooms in on a great crack that runs down the centre of one. As it does the vision goes black, but you feel the dark pull of the force that you felt during your meditation.

@Stormbourne take a strain for the pressure of trying to plot the course before the TIE's get there.

You guys are successful on your jump, and when you're ready you can narrate your arrive at Gorse. @EliasWindrider you would find no tracking device.

@Jonas Shaaf when you're ready you can make another post for your apprentice to get that going.

@player3333902 same for you leaving Tatooine on your mission.

@Jonas Shaaf , don't forget that you came to Drall to try and find signs of the Brotherhood, you probably want to look into that before leaving.

@EliasWindrider , again, force checks vs pc's need a vs discipline check.

@SithArissa , you'd probably know that Gorse was a republic stronghold for a time.

@Rabobankrider , I'm gonna hit Kark with a Negotiation check vs his Cool , or Leadership check vs his Discipline , whichever you feel is more appropriate. Any additional Setbacks?

I'm offering Kark the damaged corellian jedi holocron i have. Its almost purely a narrative device. But it would activate if he is force sensitive and may provoke a vision since its his first time touching it.

Opposed discipline for seek : 2eA+3eP+2eD+1eC 3 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Triumph

I'll be sorting my posts and stuff tomorrow or latest Thursday.

@Jonas Shaaf @player3333902 @Stormbourne

@Rabobankrider while I don't feel much like eating (been recovering from the worst case of food poisoning I ever had) in real life, Elias and Chemdat would certainly be hungry, they were looking for a restaurant prior to meeting up with Akua on Dantooine. I was hoping that they would have found something to eat on board the first order shuttle, but alas they did not. So after telling Arvel Venn that they stole the shuttle to escape a first order task force on Dantooine, Elias is going to suggest that they move the debriefing to a local cantinas of Arvel's choosing, preferably one with good but reasonably priced food. Arvel being a "local" to Gorse should know of a restaurant that matches the criteria. And I'm going to be unoriginal, copy @TheShard , and have Elias use foresee to order for Arvel,

Foresee to order food for Arvel : 2eA+3eP+2eD+1eC+4eF 3 successes, 1 advantage, 6 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

also going to answer 4 questions Arvel has right before he asks them. Basically this is a demonstration of how Elias got his comlink info, all of which makes it more believable that they stole the shuttle out from under the nose of former imperial inquisitor Matthis Karr.

Sense for Arvel Venn's force sensitivity : 2eA+3eP+2eD+1eC+4eF 7 successes, 3 threat, 1 Triumph, 6 Light Side

If you would like to learn how to peer into the near future, you have the force potential to learn it and I could teach it to you. I'm making the offer because I can see you have a desire to protect others from tyranny and evil regardless of the cost to yourself and how unprepared you are to handle the situation. Training, in particular the right training, is essential for being prepared to make a difference. I firmly believe that instruction needs to be tailored to the student. Unfortunately, I'm not the right teacher for my brother Chemdat, our familial bond is getting in the way, so we were looking for my former master, Korath Lorren, when following the will of the Force Chemdat and I ran into Akua and Excal'ur on Dantooine.

then the conversation would go something like

Do you of anyone in the New Republic or Resistance who would be interested in buying a stolen First Order shuttle, it would be useful for clandestine infiltration missions but otherwise they aren't good at going unnoticed as your own reaction shows, I'd like to swap our ride for something a bit less conspicuous and more comfortable, something Corellian if I had my preference.

@EliasWindrider Let's not get too far ahead of yourself. You still need to convince Arvel not to kill you first

I am trying move things along... so I'm not holding things up (we got the keys to our new house today, and we need to pack and measure for blinds and buy blinds at jcpenney on black Friday so my availability will be limited and I want to have a lot on autopilot so I don't hold things up by not being available)

If it comes to that I'm pretty sure Elias would win initiative rolling 3eA+2eP+3eB+4eF

Initiative if called for : 3eA+2eP+3eB+4eF 4 successes, 8 advantage, 3 Light Side, 2 Dark Side

So 7 success and 8 advantage, technically Arvel should have to roll cool under the circumstances, but if Arvel gets to roll vigilance hed need to get a triumph to win initiative so 1/12 chance there

and if Elias wins initiative he can use move to disarm Arvel

Move to disarm Arvel Venn if necessary : 2eA+3eP+2eD+1eC+4eF 2 successes, 2 Light Side, 4 Dark Side

And then Elias will say I'll give this back to you after we finish our discussion over dinner.

if Arvel gets to roll vigilance and does get a triumph, Elias can spend 2 strain for Arvel to be rolling against 1eD+1eC+1eS which will probably miss, and even if he hits, Elias can soak 5 and tank the rest, Then Elias disarms Arvel with and says the preceding in a stern voice.

If @Rabobankrider calls for coercion roll after Elias has disarmed Arvel

Coercion to awe Arvel to stop attacking : 5eA+1eB+2eD+1eC+4eF 3 successes, 1 advantage, 2 Light Side, 2 Dark Side

BTW I'd not be going for "fear" with the coercion I'd going for "awe" Arvel thinking this guy is truly impressive and still considers me a non threat after I tried to shoot/shot him, maybe I should hear what he has to say before I annoy him.

So depending on a ruling Arvel may have 1/12 chance of making a 2eA+1eP+1eD+1eC+1eS attack roll with his pistol which means in an unlikely worst case Elias would take 2 strain and 1+net successes damage before we go to dinner and Elias orders for Arvel

@Tramp Graphics it will be a negotation vs negotiation, and will come with a setback.

@EliasWindrider , @Jonas Shaaf would know a decent enough cafe near the space port of the city. @Jonas Shaaf , you would also know that since the destruction of Hosnian Prime and the local forces abandoning the planet huge swathes of the cities population have fled the planet for fear of being the next target of the First Order. Lots of areas are completely abandoned currently.

@TheShard , it's your holocron so you can narrate vision stuff etc here.

@SithArissa , just need your suggestion of a place to look for the jedi based on Reeshe's info (you'd know Gorse was a republic/resistance planet).

@player3333902 @Stormbourne don't hesitate to jump into the action on Gorse. Myself and @Jonas Shaaf shouldn't be completely dominating it.
