This is a real stretch of a social check. 5 threat is 5 strain.

You might have had a better chance in combat

It was obvious that the Rodian wouldn't be alone in such a place, but it was too soon to introduce new players to the game. They would have to be eliminated and she couldn't let the Rodian handle them himself there was no guarantee he would survive and she still had use for him. For now anyway. Perhaps it was time she showed some backbone. A Jedi would never let slavers assist them she can use that to her advantage. "You, you came with slavers? Are..... are you a slaver? Are you here looking for wares? You've come to capture me all over again? NO I WONT LET YOU!" She pushed him away and reached for her saber, only to have it in hand there was no need to ignite the blade. "Tell me why you are here! Tell me how many are there? Answer me! She screamed almost hysterically while keeping the tears flowing making it look like she was desperate and would do what was needed to keep safe. All a lie of course, she knew she was safe, because she was the dangerous one. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gonna do a Coercion check vs your Discipline with my extra blue from the advantage last round as well as my sense emotions. Coercion Check - 2eB+3eA+1eD: 0 successes, 7 advantage [2eB=A/A, A/A] [3eA=A, A/A, S/A] [1eD=F/Th] OK....... 3 advantage to reduce my strain down to 0. 2 to add a blue to my next check and 2 more to add a black to your next check. And I guess we are going to the shuttle now @LordBritish.

"My name is vaylz. I am Jedi in training! or..... I was. Me and my Master were captured and we've been in here so long. They split us up and tortured me, they hurt me......" Tears were welling in Arissa's eyes. Tears as fake as the story she was spinning. "But then...... then I gave in. I. I did things. Horrible things. And my master. He's gone. Because of me." Arissa moved towards the Rodian putting her head onto his chest lightly sobbing making the pretence of looking for comfort. This is a sob story she had used in the past. This fool will swallow all the little morsels of lies she'll feed him. Making him fat for the slaughter. Deception Check - 1eP+1eA+1eB+1eD: 1 success, 2 advantage, 1 Triumph [1eP=Tr] [1eA=S/A] [1eB=A/A] [1eD=F/Th] So, 1 strain to you. Another upgrade of difficulty to your next check from the triumph. And I'll take another blue dice on my next check from the advantage. Slowly getting there. W - 0/13 S - 1/15 You are at W - 0/12 S - 7/17 yes @LordBritish?

I heal 1 With the advantage then. W- 0/13 S - 1/15

Arissa pushed down the wave of frustration as the Rodian walked away from her, FROM HER! No one walks away from her. This .... she wasn't listening if he had mentioned his name. It wasn't important. He wasn't important. But he did have some small charm she had to admit. Perhaps she could play along with this game of flattery for now. She put on her best flustered damsel persona and rushed along side him "Tel me stranger, other than being my hero, what brings you to this **** hole?" She flashed a smile. One practised to look like the innocent and hopeful Twi'lek Jedi she had once been promised to be by that fool old man. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gonna do a charm check as the 1st round of the social battle my charm vs your cool as I did a deception before. Edit - that word is h-e-l-l why is that censored? Charm Check - 1eB+1eP+3eA+1eC+3eD: 1 success, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph [1eB=S/A] [1eP=Tr] [3eA=A/A, A, A/A] [1eC=Th/Th] [3eD=F/Th, Th, Th] So I will add the success to the threat you had earlier for 2 strain to you. And the triumph will upgrade your next checks difficulty by 1 in addition to my nobody's fool ability. I don't think I have any strain to heal yet? Otherwise there isn't much I can do with the advantage. @LordBritish

Are you actually moving away from me or is it just narrative? We can do success = strain if you think it'll be the best. And are we starting strain loss from now or the last 2 rolls?

Well its a combat PvP tournament idk that a social win would work? But as I'm feeling better now I'm happy to draw out the social checks till one of us has a chance at the kill/win. I imagine Arissa would play with her food. Make the charm check but I have 1 rank in nobody's fool so it would be against my cool with 1 upgrade for 2 Red 2 purple.

I'll try to do some RP I'm back to work today so I can think about it during downtime.

Sounds like a challenge.

You do have high charm/deception yourself equal to my cool/discipline, you can always try your own flirtation.

@LordBritishSkulduggery is opposed by perception usually according to the core books, but I would argue if you are going to try pick pocket someone right in front of you it would need at least some black dice added if not a straight upgrade. My suggestion is vs my perception of 1 Yellow 1 Green so 1 Red 1 Purple with either 1 upgrade to 2 Red or 2 set back dice for 1 Red 1 Purple 2 Black. Gonna be nice and tell you that I do have Resist Disarm so even a successful check wouldn't get my saber off me.

Just have to persuade them that suicide is gonna be the less painful option than the horror they see before them. MWHAHAHAHAHAH........

So that one mastery power, could I finally utter 'kill yourself' to a minion (yes just a minion not a player no, no no........) and it would have to do it? like shoot themselves?

This power fits Arissa so much it hurts.

Arissa is a charmer. She'd probably try flattery if not outright seduction.

Unarmed I will use a maneuver to get into short range then I will use a Deception check on Tanson to make him believe Arissa is not a threat so he wont draw any weaponry on his turn or at the very least he makes no attacks on a success. Roll coming soon. @LordBritish Deception Check - 1eP+1eA+1eB+1eD: 2 successes, 2 advantage [1eP=S/A] [1eA=S/A] [1eB=S/A] [1eD=F/Th] Success. I'll let you decide the extent of what happens @LordBritishBut with the 2 Advantage I will gain another free manoeuvre and move into engaged range.

Hope your dog is ok. Destiny roll - 1eF: 1 Dark Side [1eF=DS] I cant remember the official ruling on if we have weapons drawn at the start of the fight my 1st round they were 2nd they weren't so I'll let you decide if we want them to be or not. Seems from your RP that they are both weaponless though.

@LordBritish

You need to roll the d100 first to determine who chooses light/dark, unless I've missed it?

Cool Roll - 1eP+3eA: 5 successes, 1 advantage [1eP=S/S] [3eA=A, S/S, S] I'll Choose High for the Destiny roll. Please excuse my lack of any roleplay here I just don't have the will for it, and I think @LordBritishhas it covered. Edit- you have forgot to add the campaign to your roll @LordBritishnot that it makes it any less relevant I just noticed it looking over the other rolls.

I'm going through a bout of recurring illness, so my already poor RP skills have little motivation behind them, but i'm still here.

Ancient sword damage is still brawn +1 tho

By creativity you mean bump up only agility and brawn. Doesn't help Makashi or an Archaeologist (tho we all know Palaeontology is the superior field).

Dude I know how you feel I wanted to quit vs @SavageBoband got played with like a doll by @awayputurwpn. You had particularly bad luck this fight I might be wrong but if tanson had 2 less strain threshold he woulda passed out I'd have called that a draw. This does kinda show tho that to make this more fun for everyone restrictions need to be put in place for any future games like limit attributes to 4 or proficiency dice to a max of 2 per roll etc. As for tanson and who plays him I think it would be better to maybe roll a d100 to see who gets to play next round. Nothing against you doing it again @Nightoneyou would be a part of the roll to naturally, but just to give others a shot. On phone if this comes out a jibberish then ..... Idk something witty.
