    I don't think geth counts a triumph as a success. Edit: totally does. Whoops.

    @DeamonIzual @Oats

    Ald and BR-88 - the two of you realize that Kik'tl hasn't been seen for several hours. This is unusual, as they are almost always under foot tinkering with something. A brief search reveals Kik'tl in their workshop, where Sakura Ren has them pinned against a wall - one hand restraining Kik'tl's lightsaber, the other holding a vibrosword to the verpine's throat.

    Oh man.

    Influence time.

    Geth roll 2eF for Force Pool

    ---

    Reaching out through the Force, Ald imbues the room with a sense of peace, calm, and a wistful sort of passivity.

    "Hey, let's all relax here. Sakura, let's not do anything that will damage your beautiful skin, or Kik's... exowhatever"

    Force Pool:
    2eF 3 Light Side [2eF=LS, LS/LS]

    And the rest of the check, per Mike.

    Geth roll 2eP+1eA+2eB+3eD for Charming the weapon out of a fine lady's hand.

    EDIT: Fuck you too Geth. Using the Force dice for 2 successes and an additional advantage, for a final result of 1S 3A.

    Charming the weapon out of a fine lady's hand:
    2eP+1eA+2eB+3eD 1 failure, 2 advantage [2eP=-, A/A] [1eA=A] [2eB=S/A, -] [3eD=-, F/F, Th/Th]

    Not sure about reaction times but BR-88 would have immediately moved to restrain Sakura's slicing arm. Probably using its new bodyguard maneuver to make it harder to hurt Kik

    You guys can act at the same time; what were you thinking of rolling for restraining her arm?

  • Options
    DeamonIzualDeamonIzual Registered User regular
    I was thinking a brawl check makes sense. Not trying to be showy, just make sure she can't move her arm.

    Good lord. I can hear BR-88 saying "Stop punching yourself, meatbag."

    BR-88. you grab Sakura's arm and encounter no resistance. She steps away from Kik'tl, and you interpose yourself between her and the verpine.

    "That's fine," the togruta says. "We'd finished for the day anyway."

    Ald, you reach out to calm the nerves of everyone in the room... and find no heightened state of anger or distress. Sakura is a little elated, Kik'tl is introspective, and BR-88 just seems determined. Even so, the togruta drops her sword as your influence takes effect. Her mood changes to surprise in an instant, and she twists around to look at you without pulling away from the bodyguard droid. "Nice trick. I'll have to remember that one."

    "That's what all the ladies say", and Ald will throw her a wink.

    DevoutlyApatheticDevoutlyApathetic Registered User regular
    "Thank you for the practice Sakura. I would like you to show me that last bit again next time. It was quite surprising."

    Kik'tl turns towards Ald, "Cuticle." Kik'tl turns away and begins straightening up the cargo hold.

    After assessing the mood, BR-88 will relax its hold. "This one advises caution when sparring on the vessel during interstellar travel. Any damage to the spacecraft could vent the atmosphere humanoids need for survival."

    Pausing for a moment to consider this Kik'tl responds "The vibrosword is unlikely to cause significant hull damage and the lightsabers we were using are incapable of damaging the hull. Though this is something that Ald and Rayner should keep in mind if they choose to spar on board the ship."

    Ald will follow after Sakura as she leaves the room, asking her a thousand and one questions about where she grew up, her family, has she ever smuggled 150 tonnes of insects before.

    Y'know, standard stuff.

    Rayner cries manly tears that carve furrows across his cheeks before they nestle in to his beard, glistening with regret and sadness.

    Is Sakura intentionally named after every third sushi place?

    Nope, generated it here. I spent literal hours encoding a message behind Antar Ren, then decided that was absurdly counterproductive for a character you guys might kill stunlock in your first encounter with them.

    Sakura is frequently used for Japanese restaurants because it translates to cherry blossom.

    Also horse meat!

    Army brat, so I bounced around. Stations here and there, mostly. Rim, core, you name it, I've probably had to leave it at 0500 sharpish.

    That is a story to be told over dinner and the finest (space)wine you can get on a ship like this.

    I knew the cherry blossom thing, but not the horse meat one. I figured she was named as an Ayala Secura reference.

    I feel that is partly a factor of Ald being the talky one and so long as that is true Ald will always be front and center whenever we deal with other folks.

    So doubles to +6.

    Sorry for the weak end to the session, work was rough and I was exhausted. I'm going to work on smoothing out the bits that didn't quite fit in with my mental picture and maybe call an audible on one thing.

    Not on call for the week of the next session, will be easier on me. :)

    Reflecting on the situation, Kik'tl is so completely going to screw this whole planet up and there isn't really a plausible way it doesn't end up going that way.

    The best part is I was thinking the napalm generator was the worst of it and Kik sorta contained/resisted that.

    Kik'tl is just breeding a race of super robots with the ability to mass produce napalm out of thin air. Robots which are systematically oppressed by their not-Sith overlords and used as fodder for live fire lethal training exercises. On an island full of flammable woodlands.

    This should be fine.

    At least we'll probably get Yoda off planet before it all burns down. That's a net of +1 gizka for the universe.
