She slips, startles some rodents but isn't hurt..

@P-47 Thunderbolt How about an Easy Athletics with a Setback to get to the top?

Athletics : 1eP+3eA+1eD 1 success, 3 advantage

But you make it to the top.... and see more desert

Give us a Easy Perception check, with a Boost (for the high ground)

Doesn't Outdoorsman apply to that? "Manage terrain"?

Perception : 2eA+1eB+1eD 1 success, 1 advantage

Wow. That's... interesting. All on one die.

You can make out depressions in the soil where a ships landing gear were. (Advantage) You also notice the area surrounding the depressions had been cleared of most of the loose sand. (the wind has slowly been blowing new sand into the area over the last few days) But you are able to estimate the ship was roughly 100 meters long, by 80 wide.

Is there anything else you wanted to do around Star Wars Vasquez Rocks?

I don't think so, not for Cadena anyway. @Bellona , anything you wanted to post or have Barda do?

Barda would likely want to look around herself. (Particularly after the effort of getting there! :D )

Are there any relevant Perception/other checks which she could roll?

If not, then she'll just climb the rock so that she can see the view before returning to the dirt field spaceport.

Athletics to climb the rocks : 1eP+2eA+1eF+1eD+1eS 2 failures, 3 advantage, 1 Dark Side

... or not!

Any ideas for the 3 Advantages as she walks around the rocks, looking for a way up?

I'm tempted to have her try again, but I'll wait on the results (if any) of the first roll.

Hmmm... you don't hurt your ankle when you fail.. but see an easier way up not too far :)

Same opposing dice?

give yourself a Boost... It is a nice view.. :D

So now we switch to Sienna and Aleena? @Bellona , do you want to handle that?

Sure. "Aleena of the Silver Tongue" will see what she and Sienna can find out. :D

@RuusMarev :

What's the difficulty for making a Charm check against Duncan at the scrapyard gate?

Once on top of the rock formation, you can see the desert continue for a good distance.. Distance is hard to gauge since there isn't much between you and the mountains... and the mountains beyond them. the further ridge line is a dark purple blue as the clouds pass over head....

Average upgraded once and two Setbacks... he really doesn't want to get involved...(that being said, I guess I should start writing up some pages for him once you enthrall him too... :D )

Well, the Force doesn't do quite that much. It's more of a nudge in the "right" direction.

Yeah.

This particular control upgrade to the Influence power is not a "mind trick" (that's on the other side of the tree from it). It's really just a boost to the user's social skills (like the basic version of Enhance and the left/middle parts of that tree also boost certain physical skills).

(would it be appropriate to drop the Setbacks?)

Nah, I think the Setbacks are fine. It represents his predisposition rather than just his natural resistance to being charmed. If he's predisposed to not want to talk to the PCs for whatever reason, Setbacks make sense.

Ok, Average with 2 Setbacks (no upgrades)

(Charm is normally opposed by the opposite side's Cool.)

I didn't see your post in time, so I'll have to do some subtraction/addition to the dice roll that I did make.

... which I've just realised that I mislabelled as being one of Barda's. *facepalms*

Aleena uses Kill With Kindness 1 to remove one of the Setbacks ...

Charm vs. Duncan w. Influence power upgrade, Kill w/Kindness : 1eP+2eA+2eF+1eC+1eD+1eS 2 failures, 1 advantage, 1 Light Side, 1 Dark Side
p-s-a.png a-a.png a-a.png f-ds.png f-ls.png c-f-f.png d-th-th.png s-f.png

No upgrade means that the red die's 2 Failures go away, but also that I need to roll one more Difficulty die ...

Purple die replacing the red die : 1eD 1 failure, 1 threat
d-f-th.png

(Not Final) Result: 1 Failure, 1 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

I see that our Destiny Pool is looking very dark right now (1 LS vs. 3 DS), so I'm not tempted to go all out and turn failure into success by that means here.

However , if I use the LS pip to add +1 Advantage (resulting in 1 Failure, 1 Advantage ), may Aleena keep the conversation going and try again to charm him? (After all, there were no Threats or Despairs.)

Edited by Bellona

Sure, that should be alright..

@RuusMarev :

Please let me know when I can have Aleena try another Charm check - as in right away, or after some more conversation?
