@MrTInce @jhh3 I realize you've had to wait due to no fault of your own and consequently you will be getting 5 xp monday regardless of whether you post sunday.

I'll get something up for ya.

@Bellona , @RuusMarev seems unresponsive about making the edits needed to make his post consistent with dice rolls and rules... do you care to narrate the whole crash as if he had never posted? This just up to including the crash where Mireska and Jorin are thrown from/manage to fall off the speeder, jorin can safely remain in the side car and Mireska crawls over if desired. A narration appropriate to 3 despairs being rolled leading to "a crash that leaves the jedi dazed but miraculously unharmed other than minor bumps and bruises, clearly the force was with you" (or something to that effect) ... this sets up @jhh3 to step up and protect mireska and jorin starting on his turn and until you/Mireska and @RuusMarev /Jorin get to take your turns. I want make sure that everyone gets their opportunity to shine/especially our new players. If you would prefer not to contradict @RuusMarev 's ic post, I'm willing to do it... just let me know.

@RuusMarev The point is to embrace despair as an opportunity for good/humorous storytelling (like how han solo stepped on the twig alerting the scout trooper he was sneaking up on on endor at the bunker entry scene). Characters who seem amazingly competent at everything even through dramatic failure/bad luck, are boring. I ask you to trust me that I will make sure you have your opportunity to shine/take center stage/seem amazing.

He hasn't seen your post asking him to change it yet. He hasn't been on since a couple hours after he made the initial post.

Ok, I didn't know that... do you know if he's ok? In the world of Corona virus, absences can be cause for concern. But I would still like @Bellona to proceed so that @jhh3 gets an opportunity to post/take his turn this week (i.e. today). It's been over 24 hours which is about the appropriate waiting period in a game with 6 pcs.

I don't, but he's often not as available on the weekends. He was fine when I last talked to him, but you never know. If Bellona goes ahead and continues the narration as if Ruus had narrated it to your specifications, he can retroactively edit it to fit.

That works too.

@RuusMarev to help avoid delays in the future can you subscribe for notifications when someone posts to this thread so that you get email notifications (at least once daily if not immediately) ... so that you don't have to log in to see when your attention is needed. Most posting happens Thursday through Sunday.

Semi related.... in my opinion despair is the most fun part of the game... or should be if we're doing it right.

IC post is up.

I suggest that Mireska is both Disoriented (+1 Setback to all checks) and Staggered (no actions but manoeuvres are okay) on her first turn, due to being thrown from the seat of the BARC. That will still let her crawl to temporary safety on her turn.

I'll go with your suggestion, btw in case you didn't know activating your/Mireska's portable plasma shield is an incidental, so I think you'll be e able to do that in addition to crawl. I'm going to give Jorin/ @RuusMarev 2 setback dice of cover (protection) from the police barrier you narrated in. @jhh3 you're up.... I'd recommend protection Mireska over jorin. But for a destiny point flip I'll let you protect both even though they aren't engaged with each other (protects Mireska on your way past her to then protect jorin ... where protect means reflect and circle of shelter. Btw what did you spend the I think 50 earned xp on... I don't think you ever fully updated your swsheets.

@EliasWindrider , @Bellona , Sorry about the delay, had a ton of house and yard work this weekend. I'll work on the notification alerts so the delay isn't as bad.

No I haven't yet. I would like to flip a destiny point if everyone is okay with it. I will keep working to update it.

I'm fine with you flipping a destiny point. We just need to keep a minimum of 1 LS destiny point in reserve for ShockHelix' character (Condor) to use when necessary.

I'm going to assume that you have a minimum of 3 yes-es... @jhh3 @Bellona @RuusMarev and I promise to spend darkside fast enough that 1 lightside DP is always available (when people get signature abilities I'll keep it at a minimum of 2 lightside DP) so you don't need to worry about using DPs... if one person starts using them disproportionately, the way I'll keep at least 1 lightside is by flipping dp to upgrade that one person's checks.... but don't think of it as punishment/retaliatory it's just a method to keep lightside DP available for someone else to use without anyone else having to pay for the person who likes to spend them freely, and if the person(s) who like to spend dp freely is ok with dp getting flipped to upgrade their own checks, then I encourage those persons to go nuts with spending DP freely. Also I want to keep enough darkside dp in the pool so ventress will be able to use her abilities so I don't have to Deuce ex machina her taking/destroying all your lightsabers so you can get the better christophsis crystals. @jhh3 and @Bellona

Translation.... go ahead and post and spend the dp. I'll update the total after you do.

@jhh3 it's your turn to post, we are waiting on you.

Ok. So I just narrate me jumping to defend Mireska, and Jorin?

Yes, jumping in and readying himself to defend Mireska and Jorin. Our GM will then let you know when an attack comes (and how much incoming damage Ethan will have to avoid with Reflect and otherwise deal with).

Speaking of Jorin, how bad am I?

Disoriented?

Correct.

Also maneuvering the bike a little closer first.

Or if you want to include the three attacks (one against each character) I'll roll them now

Shooting at Ethan

Shooting at ethan : 5eP+3eB+4eD+3eS 2 failures, 3 advantage

You can narrate this as being stopped by your plasma shield or deflecting it with your saber

Using the 3 advantage to add boosts

Shooting at Mireska

Shooting at Mireska : 5eP+6eB+4eD+1eS 6 successes, 9 advantage

Ouch sorry Belona, That's 19 incoming damage with pierce 2, Ethan can spend 3 strain to stop 5 of it, but he has at least 50 unspent xp by my reckoning and he can get 3 more ranks of reflect for 50 xp total (one from each tree) which would mean he could stop 8 points of damage, and I'll let him choose to spend that now (before resolving this). Anyway from now until the end of the encounter you take 1 strain whenever you move (crippling blow talent), and spending 3 advantage to roll a +20 crit

Crit on Mireska : 1d100+20 86

Compromised +1 purple to all checks until the end of the encounter.

Going to pass 2 boosts to sniper 3 and add 4 setback to Ker'see's next attack against.

Shooting at Jorin : 5eP+5eB+4eD+2eS 2 successes, 7 advantage, 1 Triumph

So Jorin is facing 15 incoming damage, pierce 2, and Ethan can spend 3 strain to stop 5 or 8 of it depending on xp expenditure, going to use the triumph to upgrade Ker'see' next attack, 3 advantage to crit Jorin and, pass 4 boosts to the stealth check of the droids trying to sneak up on Ker'see (Jango doesn't need help on his check to sneak up on Ker'see, but he doesn't know about duchess)

Crit on Jorin : 1d100+20 76

Overpowered, attacker may immediately attempt another free attack using the same pool... RAW is they can do this despite slow firing (I've personally asked the devs this question in the context of a repulsor fist), but I'm going to bend the rules as a one off and say this time that slow firing prevents the second shot.

Edit: Btw Jorin will also take 1 strain each time he moves for the rest of the encouter

@MrTInce roll a vigilance check, I'll say upgrade it 3 times and add 2 boosts thanks to Duchess' keen senses

You want to beat this

Stealth check : 2eA+4eB 1 success, 7 advantage

Which is so low I won't roll for Jango

Unless I'm missing something (houserule?), it costs 2 Advantage to add a Setback. If we're going with 1 Advantage=1 Setback, that'll be good to know for Advantage expenditures in the future.

Since you stayed in the side car, not too bad add a setback to actions on your turn. But then you're getting shot by a sniper... btw there are only 3 snipers and the rifles have slow firing 1 so you each get 2 turns before the snipers can fire again.

I'll wait with the damage calculation until I know if @jhh3 /Ethan is deflecting 5 or 8 of that damage.

FYI: Mireska's "half-modded" portable plasma shield attachment only accounts for +2/+2 of her Defence value when activated. Due to the mods to her armour insert attachment, her "resting" Defence (no PPS) is 2/2.
