Well, I had suggested shields failing, but unless you have something else in mind?

Also, if the fighters come after me, I'd like to use Evasive Maneuvers to upgrade, or flip a DP to do so.

Okay, sorry. The Crit is fine, I just failed to register it as the spent Triumph. @bsmith23

Cool, Den is going to set up in the turret, just in case the ships come closer.

15/17 strain I’m still standing

I'm at 13/13, so you'd better count your blessings.

Alright. So the PQ is in the same spot, correct? What's the difficulty for engaged Melee here?

Are the other hostages still in the way?

Adversary 2, hostages still Engaged, so 2 additional Upgrades; Defense 1.

PQ is Immobilized until end of turn, but not otherwise helpless.

Crit her in the face! Do it for the Empire.

So, Melee Dual Wield (3eD), upgraded for Adversary 2, then two further upgrades would be..

3eC+1eD+1eS?

If that's correct. Then I'm gonna give it a go. Roughly 50/50 😬

So, Maneuver to Engaged, Aim (2 strain), Frenzied Attack to Upgrade, DP flip to Upgrade.

Main hand Cutlass. Here goes nothing @Edgehawk

http:// Dual Wield Melee : 3eC+1eD+1eS+4eP+1eB 0 successes

I cry. I think that's the hardest combat check I've ever tried. And the most positive dice I've ever had too. Holy moly.

@Edgehawk Did Val completely whiff or did she do some fancy parrying? or did someone get in the way?

Looks like the last Challenge die is what sealed the Failure, so you could narrate it as the hostages getting in the way. Really, you can narrate it however you wish, as far as I am concerned.

I’ll get a post up in the IC sometime tomorrow morning.

Briar @Imperial Stormtrooper you are up!

@Shlambate Drogos can probably go ahead and act as well, unless you intend to somehow interact with the fleeing fighter.

Trying to remember, did you share what type of ship the kid is in?

There is a picture of it in Discord.

She is medium away from Drogos right could I get to Short and choke her again.

It is another TIE prototype, though smaller and sleeker than the Phantom, and with only two wing panels. Ral has not actually seen it yet, but it is about to emerge from the front of the Intrepid.

There is indeed a pic on Discord, where I find it much easier to share such media. As a narrative game, participation on Discord at this point is optional, but you may find some useful visuals posted there. There should be a link in the first post of this forum thread.

Drogos would be Long range at this point, as the ship is all the way forward, about to emerge into space. To get into range would require a force leap up into the launch tube above, which has just been explosively exposed to the vacuum of space. Also, if you are acting against the fleeing fighter, the girl's turn comes before yours in the lineup.

I meant the Queen

Oh... Of course!

Bind Discipline V Discipline : 1eP+3eA+1eC+3eD+2eF 1 success, 1 advantage, 2 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

I will Spend Destiny to get access to damage and the gain oone strain while using the 1 advantage to heal 1 strain

That is 3 more damage through Soak

How much has she taken in total I know Drogos has done 8 Damage to her himself.

Where exactly are the boarders?

Val also inflicted 3 Wounds past soak... Crap! And an Agonizing Wound crit, meaning the PQ has actually suffered 3 crits, not two as I previously asserted. I'll let you keep the current crit (gives pq a Setback to next check), but also the additional +10 "discouraging wound," which will effectively flip your spent destiny point back to the players (the effect - not actually an additional fourth crit).

Evon also inflicted 1 Strain past soak, with the eye crit (and the PQ Strained herself in a Force Check despair).

So if I am correct this is 11 damage on the PQ

Aft bay, where Drogos and Evon boarded from the Phantom.

Yes.
