Cavern engagement - Round 8

[tomcat]

Great posts, guys! I like the inter-character stress going on. Now, to the mechanics

I found out that with his shot, Boba Fett pushes Shade 2 notches down the CT for both Hunter's Mark and exceeding his damage threshold. I also realize that Shade must first defend against BIT's attack, and I need to include his current condition penalties. So the -5 MAP penalty and -3 CT will be suffered against these attacks.

There is no way I can win these defenses, so instead of taking the hits, Shade is going to spend two DP's and negate the attacks. 

Running out of resources here! 

For his actions this round Shade will take three SWIFT actions to move himself up the CT by 1 to -2.

BG captain spends another DP to negate Farok's critical (leaving him 1 DP left)

Farok could hear the chatter on the comlink, but it was as if people were talking in a dream. His brain gave it only the smallest amount of attention in order to recognize anything that might be critical or important. The one arm man placed his entire focus on the Bando Gora Captain. He knew he was the junior threat of the two remaining foes, but it was one that he could handle with the hope that the rest of the party could gang up on Shade.

The staff came at him again and his lightsaber came up to Block it once more. Farok, wished he could call it skill, but know he knew that dueling with one arm was more luck than skill. His pride had kept him from taking action to correct that, hopefully his pride wouldn't kill him now.

Caden can drop a Force point on this to see if he can make up the difference. Let me know if you want to - otherwise the attack misses and we move on to round 9.

Needed a three and got a two... always the way. 

[Jingo]

just checking to see if he applied the +1 from Kaida... (hoping)-- if he's only 1 off it MIGHT make a diff 

[Jingo]

"Two things, sister," he snapped. "One, I knew Brim longer than any of of you, and he's one of my three friends this guy's killed before anyone else here even came along! Two, in case you forgot - that's my goddamned ship, and as long as I'm breathing, I decide where -- and when -- it goes. Got it?"

His words grated on her nerves partially because she knew he was right. She never did easily back down from verbal confrontations. "Excuuuse me mister!" she turned on him and thumped one finger in his chest before he got his shot off. "I realize your friends died! So did my friend. I liked Brim too. But just because you're aching for revenge doesn't mean you should take us with you on your joy ride. I'm sorry if your precious ship gets scratched, send me the bill! But someone's got to save our hides!"

[sdrotar]

"But someone's got to save our hides!"

Caden paid little attention to Kaida's outburst -- he was lining up another shot.
But he grumbled, "You're already wanted; wanna add an army of gangsters to the list? Only way out's through."

He gritted his teeth and fired again.

Darn it! I keep forgetting to add this mod in, so yea, it makes the difference.

Shade now needs to deflect...

DC 22 Use the Force +13, MAP -5, CT -3

Rolled 1d20+5 : 11 + 5, total 16

Going to include a Force point roll, too, just in case. But, if the action does not need it, I will not spend the FP... I just don't want to make more posts for this round. 

best of two 2d6 : 5, 3, total 8

[tomcat]

Crap... the FP will be considered spent because the potential chase of success.

Shade takes 25 damage, total of 89/93 CT -3
