Ooof! Kaida landed hard as she hit ground level, but she was up in a roll and on her feet, racing towards the skiff. Fett's rocket explosion had died down, and she had been gratified to see the blast had knocked the darksider off his feet at least. It was something. Not enough to stop someone stepped in those dark arts though. She was conscious of the battle still raging around here and she called into her comm as she ran.

"Let's move it people! To the skiff. Fett and BIT, give covering fire!"

ooc - races to the skiff and takes the controls, lifting it off the ground a few feet. That'll prob take her turn.

[sdrotar]

"Let's move it people! To the skiff. Fett and BIT, give covering fire!"

Caden breathed hard as he landed. He felt his ankle roll on him, but it wasn't serious and he kept moving.
"Got one on me," he huffed, looking back at the onrushing soldier. "I'll bring him your way."

Caden will get to Kaida and the skiff ASAP; he'll use his Dodge Feat as necessary.

[Jingo]

If he can get to me before the soldier does, I'll move the skiff away from the edge once Caden is on-board, forcing the thing to jump a rather large gap. . . 

[Telcontar]

Farok stood poised with his lightsaber to make another strike. He saw that his companions were making for the skiff and knew that he had to buy them some time. He knew that this was an important battle. Every move or counter move was pregnant with repercussions.
The arc of his lightsaber came down again on the Captain, soon he knew both Dark force users would be against him.

Attack Roll

Rolled 1d20+8 : 20 + 8, total 28

[Telcontar]

 :ooc:SWEET!

DMG:

Rolled 2d8+4 : 4, 6 + 4, total 14

Farok also saw the debris from the battle around him and though he doubted it would be effective every trick the once Jedi knew he was going to try. Reaching out with the force he flung an object at Shade and for good measure one at the Captain. The Shade he knew would most likely evade, but the one armed man hoped the multiple attacks would throw his primary foe off.

Doug, UtF move an object is swift action, so I am going to take one standard (my attack) and make two UtF swift actions to move an object at DC15 if the check defeats the reflex defense it does 1d6.

Object 1 at Shade Utf

Rolled 1d20+10 : 10 + 10, total 20

Object 2 at Captain UtF

Rolled 1d20+10 : 7 + 10, total 17

Hey Tom, I am back with some spoil the party news... Move Object is a Standard action to activate. So, you can either keep your lightsaber attack, which does 28 to the captain, or go with the Move Object option. If the latter, I will also help you with how the Force power works and how to get the best from it.

I am waiting on something from Matt, and then I will move this thread on.



On the Aegis, things had been quiet. Kara had kept to her moody self, staving off Ardana's polite convesation and company. The Twi'lek knew what was going on - she had seen Kara at her worst in the cantina on Tatooine. Ardana knew addicts. She had seen so many. She took care of one. Still, the ship was quiet and there was little to do, so she forced the pilot to communicate.

That was how their days had passed in the steamy jungle of Malastare - Kara moving from one end of the ship to the other, and Ardana following her around. It was a surprise to both when Sam had come streaking up the valley on the speeder bike with one in tow. The droid's appearance took both of the females aback, his armor torn and scarred from blaster hits. Sam had told both of them to not worry about him, but he spoke his concern for the rest of the team, and then he had shutdown to repower and to perform a diagnostic. It wasn't until later that afternoon when Sam reanimated and began to work on getting the two speeder bikes stowed in the hold, along with a large E-web cannon.

The females left him to his work and the day ended once more. Kara sat on the flight deck and looked out through the canopy. She had only low-internal lights on, and even fewer external lamps lit. Still, she felt a chill run up her back for she knew that the jungle was alive outside the ship with numerous life forms - from reptiles, to predators, and even insects. She was glad she did not have to be out there. It was then that Ardana came quickly onto the deck, "I... I think that Farok has spoken to me from afar!" Moments later, the ship's comm came to life, "Kara, we're going to need immediate evac. Brim is dead and we've got wounded. Get to us as soon as you can. We're making for the enemy's skiff. I'll give you final coordinates once we're out of the cave."

"Cave?" Kara thought.

[Telcontar]

  Doug, yes my move object force talent is a standard action. Which allows you to move large things. Moving Light objects with a UtF check is a swift action. pg 10 of the PHB under Use the Force. Which is also where I got the damage and the DC numbers from.

EDIT: correction Move Light Object is a Move action. I believe I can do two move actions and a standard in a round. and its page 77

[tomcat]

Are you reading the Saga Core Rules or the RCR?

In Saga, to Move light objects requires a MOVE action, and to use the moved object as a projectile makes it STANDARD action.

  Perception to notice the other skiff and its occupants, if necessary...

Hey Tom, yea it is a MOVE action, and if you use the objects as a missile weapon it becomes a STANDARD action.

Each PC may make 1 of each SWIFT, MOVE, STANDARD action, or 1 of each SWIFT, SWIFT, STANDARD action, or 1 of each SWIFT, SWIFT, SWIFT action, or 1 of each SWIFT, SWIFT, MOVE action, or 1 of each SWIFT, MOVE, MOVE action - in a round. Unless the PC has a talent or feat that garners them an additonal action in a round, this is it.

So for our current round, Farok attacked the captain and criticaled with a 20 - auto hit and double damage. So, all you have left are a MOVE and a SWIFT, or two SWIFT actions.

I do not have a problem with you doing the Use the Force idea, but it can't happen in this round to create damage. I recommend waiting until next round and use your Move Object Force Power - that will do a LOT more than moving light objects.

[Telcontar]

  When I looked at it at home it said Move LIght Object was a move action. So I get two move actions and a standard. I did not read that using it to attack someone was a standard action. When I get home I'll have to look at it again.

[Telcontar]

  yes move object talent does a lot more damage, but what I was trying to do was occupy to opponents who are about to turn their full attention on me and wail on me.

[tomcat]

So I get two move actions and a standard.

I am not sure where you are getting two MOVE actions and a STANDARD, but to move this round on I am going to just apply your lightsaber attack to the BG captain.

Farok crits on the captain for 28 damage, total 67/102

BIT does not exceed the DC 20 to take notice of the skiff being loaded up across the gorge.



Fett heard Kaida's call to retreat, but that was not the reason he was here. The dark jedi needed to die and he would see it done. He leveled his blaster once more and pulled the trigger.
