by "get out of there" which direction is that referring to? closer to us or closer to Master Barouk?OOC:
Sorry, that was all she said. But there are only 3 Gamorrean diplomats, if that helps?Aug 11, 2025 5:08 pm
OOC:
Could I make like a Vigilance roll to determine where the closest safest location could be? I am trying to get the lay of the land to figure out where to take these guysAug 11, 2025 5:48 pm
OOC:
Since it's been over a month for you all as players, but only a few minutes for the characters, I will remind you of a result from the Vigilance checks you all made right before landing.emsquared says:
4. Based on the layout of the pad, and the formation, and the crowd, you can tell where the main entry point into the Citadel is. [This is where the Master is talking the Lead Diplomat. And what you all are separated from, by the bulk of the attack.]- ((ooc: Advantage 2)) You spot a viable alternate entry [to the Citadel - i.e. an exit point from this situation]... should it be needed...
OOC:
Sorry if that was all a little too nuanced, but that is representative of the kind of game play I tend to use...Aug 12, 2025 8:57 pm
Miica looks for the diplomats and moves close to them.
To the Citadel! Follow us. He will then point is saber toward the alternate entryway.

Cevron curses internally and is about to run after the fleeing dissidents when he hears Master Barouk's voice on the comms. Instead he makes a quick turn and follows Miica to the diplomats. He considers grabbing one of them and guiding them to safety more forcefully, but afraid it will turn a bad situation worse if someone misunderstands, he instead opts to move into the other flank from Miica, trying to offer defense from the other side of the battlefield. He scans the crowd, trying to pick out any dissidents not running away.
OOC:
Sorry for the late post, as mentioned I'm on holiday. Have been more active than planned. The hotel room is so small we've opted to stay out of it as much as possible.Last edited August 16, 2025 9:29 pm

No need to apologize, I think I lost sight of that tho I see you did give notice (and I posted right below it) so thank you.As Cevron tries to pick out specific threats, he finds there's still dozens of masked dissidents pressing in upon the diplomatic procession. Although the few immediately around the Jedi running away has created an opening for escape in that direction.
Overhead, you hear the whirr of engines as a Gamorrean assault craft rises above the Citadel wall, from another bay, and heads toward the general melee...
OOC:
Ok, so you guys are not being immediately/directly attacked at this time, but there is the general chaos of the fight, there are some dissident pursuers following you, and uninvolved civilians fleeing which complicates your path to the alternate exit. Please put together a narrative and a Skill Check to describe how you make your escape with the diplomats.
Hard Difficulty plus a Setback.

"Kriffing move!" Cevron curses as he pushes aside one of the civilians and pulling one of the diplomats along.
Could I use the Advantage to give next player a boost on whatever they attempt?

Helping Cevron push through the crowd Miica will keep an eye on the crowd as they go through looking for those who are acting strangely.edit: I wont use the darkside point. (i believe I have that option)
OOC:
Assuming their could be some more dissidants in the crowd on our way out. Vigilance? Wondering if I could use "Sense" to give a boost or something to the roll on this[ +- ] Force Power Sense
Sense's basic power allows the Force user to sense the living Force interacting with the world around [them]. This allows [them] to perceive life and read emotions. The basic power has two ways to spend Force points:The user may spend a Force point (◑) to sense all living things within short range of [themself] (including animals and sentient beings). The user may not activate this multiple times.The user may spend a Force point (◑) to sense the current emotional state of one living target with whom [they] are engaged. The user may not activate this multiple times.

Yes, of course! @valdattaMadun please add the Boost for to your post, it could give you success.And for future reference, if you guys are spending narrative symbols mechanically (according to the chart in the OOC Resource thread) you don't need my permission. Just say it, and you or the subsequent player(s) - whomever benefits - can just implement it without asking me.
It's only potentially narrative uses that may require my clearance.
And... Wild roll - all threats and advantage 😅
@Furmyr 3 Strain to Cevron! As the difficulty of bulling through the crowd wears on him!

OOC:
Since the detect emotion-thing can only target one person, probably not. If you could target more individuals, yes.And yes, you always have the option to use a black pip so long as you guys have a white Destiny point available (and you're willing to take the Conflict+ Strain).
Valdatta, If Cevron's Boost doesn't push you over the line into net Success, Miica takes 3 Strain.
But between the Clones and the Jedi you get the Gamorrean diplomats to what turns out to be a set of maintenance bay doors, and out of the fray.
If you look back before the door hisses shut, you see the assault platform maneuvering low over the crowd, putting down heavy fire into the press of moving bodies...
There are a couple Gamorrean workers who are just kind of staring at your contingent as it comes barging in, but for the moment at least all is quiet...

OOC:
wild, fairly certain that gives me into net successOOC:
Nope unfortunately just 1 net Advantage.Successes and Failures cancel each other out, and Advantage and Threats cancel each other out. 0 net Success, as you've rolled, is a Failure.
So you take 3 Strain.
But you could use the 1 net Advantage to recover 1 of those Strain? Or, Give the next character to act a Boost die on their check? Or implement a minor narrative effect?

I will do that then. I think Triumph's do count as a success though right? maybe that is where I was confusedAug 20, 2025 9:09 pm

I saw that Furmyr posted in the Absences thread. But @valdattaMadun you only responded with ooc questions about mechanics, after the last narrative development.
What do you do in character now?

"Move aside!" Cevron calls out, once again activating his lightsaber, hoping to scare the crowd enough to let them pass. He was running out of patience as well as he could feel his body straining from all the stress. They needed to get them to safety now.

Will use my Intimidating talent to downgrade the difficulty twice at the cost of 2 strain. [ +- ] Intimidating

Sorry if it wasn't clear, but you guys seem to be safe for the moment at least. Your last skill check(s) got you all to a maintenance bay, and the doors closed behind you.
So no Coercion of the crowd is necessary. However there are the two diplomats, and a couple befuddled Gamorrean mechanics staring at you both.
They pat at their ceremonial robes which have no pockets, and you can soon realize that they have no communications gear on them.

Miica looks at the diplomats...dammit, got to get to the assualt platform
Master Borouk! he calls out seeing if the master can here him. Before staring back at the diplomats to see if they will give directions to someone who might have communications.

OOC:
As for the Xeno check, yea, that successful check will give you the ability to communicate effectively with the Gamorreans for this scene. I will spend the Threat to insert only a minor confusion somewhere in the conversation...load next
