You're up! You are at Short range from Vanya, Medium range from the space-gator.

If you want to get to Vanya, it will take 2 Maneuvers and an Easy Athletics check with a Setback. (don't forget Physical Training)

Get to Vanya: : 3eA+1eB+1eD+1eS 3 successes, 1 advantage

Nice! You would normally take 2 Strain for 2 maneuvers, but I'll reduce that to 1 for the Advantage. "since you were able to get there unusually quickly"

What now?

How much of a threat does this..creature look to be? Tapper would hate to shoot some Force sensitive or the thing behind Vanya's vision..

(For now, stand between it and Vanya, weapon on stun, prepared to fire warning shots)

Please go ahead and make an Average Knowledge (Xenology) check with a Setback or an Average Perception check. I'm going to flip a DP to upgrade the difficulty.

1eC + 1eD?

+1eS

Xenology: : 3eA+1eC+1eD+1eS 2 successes, 2 threat

It is definitely aggressive. With the Threat, it closes a range band and is now at short (meaning it only has to take one Maneuver to close to engaged).

Attack difficulty is Easy, upgraded once (Adversary 1). I'm going to flip a DP to make that Average with one Upgrade (1eC+1eD). You've got plenty of DPs now, if you want to avail yourself of them.

Tapper, Carbine AIM: : 2eA+2eP+1eC+1eD+1eB 1 success, 2 advantage

boy, I'm glad I thought to aim!

You actually couldn't aim because you'd already taken two Maneuvers.

You still succeed, though, scoring a decent hit. Please go ahead and post IC.

Spacegator:

Maneuver: Engage Tapper
Action: Snap at him: Tapper the Chew Toy : 2eP+2eA+2eD 4 successes, 2 advantage

Ouch. Why do PCs almost never roll like this? That's 10 damage and a crit: Critical Injury : 1d100 56 +10=66: Scattered Senses: The target removes all Boost from skill checks until the end of the encounter.

Tapper is up. You are engaged with the creature, so the ranged attack modifier means you'll be at Hard difficulty (with the upgrade for Adversary). If you use a Maneuver to move away, you can ignore that.

Yeah.. he'll move back, get some distance, then fire again

Alright, Easy difficulty upgraded once. Are you going to use Auto-fire?

sure!

Okay, 1eC+1eD for Auto-Fire.

: 2eA+2eP+1eC+1eD 2 failures, 3 advantage

sigh...

Ooof. What would you like for the Advantage?

realistically, setbacks....

(wishful thinking; it gets scared and runs away.. )

Make an Average Coercion check.

: 3eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 advantage

With the Advantage you can add a Setback to his next check. Please go ahead and post IC.

Spacegator:
Maneuver: Engage Tapper
Action: Claw him: Clawing Tapper : 2eP+2eA+2eD+1eS 2 successes, 3 advantage

Oof. 9 Damage with Pierce 1, and another crit: Critical Injury : 1d100 25 25+20=45: Bowled Over: The target is knocked prone and suffers 1 Strain.

Getting up will take a Maneuver, and another maneuver to gain space, but that puts you perilously close to the edge, right next to Vanya. If you take the two Maneuvers and use auto-fire, that's 1eC+1eD. Without Auto-Fire, it's just 1eC.

Tapper carbine: : 2eA+2eP+1eC 5 successes, 2 threat, 1 Triumph

Wow. You actually took it down in that shot. That concludes the action of this mini-campaign, so we can disregard the Threat/Triumph. Please go ahead and post the turn IC, plus whatever narration you want to do, then I'll pick up the narration for Vanya.
