SPEAKER_05 1:42

Above the Emerald Star Enclave, Jedi Knight Dalen Galt and his friends have tracked a dark Jedi attempting to depart. You are listening to chapter 6 of the Book of Dalen Galt. The Book of Dalen Galt is Rob Hunter as Dalen Galt, Richard Capasil as Kanari, Justin Chapman as Credo, Peyton Castle as Gruul, and myself Zack Sam as the Galaxy Master. Payden! Question of the day!

SPEAKER_06 2:12

Question of the day! You should have should have known.

SPEAKER_05 2:16

Yeah, you gotta start preparing multiple in advance now.

SPEAKER_06 2:19

In your opinion, if you could design a lightsaber hilt to be the most efficient, how would you design it?

SPEAKER_05 2:26

I don't know about efficient, so I'm just gonna go with the lightsaber design I like most. I honestly like the curved lightsabers.

SPEAKER_06 2:32

It's sweet, yeah. Yeah. See, I would go with like a tri-saber, so it's got like the hilt and then three coming out, so you can like lock someone's saber in between.

SPEAKER_08 2:41

I like the the hilt idea, but have little finger imprint so you can hold it really nice and have a good grip. Like brass. Ergonomics kinda, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:49

That'd be sick. I've always been a polearm guy, so I think I'd go with like glaive or just like like a four-foot handle with like a full lightsaber on the end.

SPEAKER_05 2:58

Who's the what are the things in um the Force Unleashed they have though?

SPEAKER_07 3:01

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:02

Like they're kind of a variant of the Imperial Garden where like white.

SPEAKER_07 3:06

But that's the shit right there, because you'd just be able to defend off enemies from a distance. Um the problem is like you see the way a lightsaber is wielded as fast as stuff, and like maybe it wouldn't work, but I really just like this like standard lightsaber.

SPEAKER_10 3:22

I really um I like it when it like lightsaber with like hard lines going across it, like ridges and edges like going across the entire thing.

SPEAKER_06 3:33

Of like the energy?

SPEAKER_10 3:34

Uh no. Yeah. It's a really weird ribbing. But yeah. No, just like multiple like like elevations and like it just looks like rocky and blocky, yeah. Like just sharp lines the entire way, and then like I really like the design of the emitter where it's kind of detached a bit and flares out.

SPEAKER_07 4:00

Like uh Obi-Wan's or Qui-Gons where it like thins down to like copper pipe and then flares.

SPEAKER_05 4:05

That's my actual favorite design is Obi-Wan's.

SPEAKER_07 4:07

Obi Wan's is like sweet, yeah. I like Qui-Gons. Qui-Gons is cool too, it's similar though. Mine's Dooku's curved hilt's so cool. Yeah, that's the design. In the books, Bane carries one too. It's just awesome.

SPEAKER_10 4:17

Honestly, can't beat the black and gold either.

SPEAKER_07 4:20

I also love the idea behind the hooked lightsaber is that like because of the angle, the way you're holding it, when you swing, it hits like a split second before you'd expect it to. Because the angle's off. So, like, it's designed to throw off other swordsmen just a hair by like making them feel like they're always a millisecond behind. It's haunting. So cool.

SPEAKER_05 4:41

So last time we played, two of you bought a tracker, stole a ship, and then paid for a ship. The other two cased the Emerald Star headquarters, trying to find the best way in, the best way up. And you ultimately decided on climbing the fire escape up to the starport at the top. And team bonding. It was a little hectic at first. But you guys got up into the starport, made your way towards the luxury yacht that belongs to Aegis Volnero to put a tracker on it when all of the lights went out.

SPEAKER_07 5:11

As did the force.

SPEAKER_05 5:12

As did the force. So this right red lightsaber blade is all you really see when you hear that hum. And it almost brightens a little bit. And you can see just like a faint shadow covering the keldo that you guys had stalked earlier. That's real initiative. Yeah. For those listening at home, there is a physical care sheet. Physical care sheet.

SPEAKER_07 5:41

Yeah, it's how you just you take care of yourself.

SPEAKER_05 5:43

Because we don't use a physical character sheet for Dorath, and it is from a previous campaign we played about 10 years ago.

SPEAKER_07 5:50

He might be a little bit OP. We're not using it. It's catastrophic.

SPEAKER_05 5:54

Yeah. It's a plus 29 to attacks. Just let it be no that Zach is grinning about it. He also has damage reduction, which I didn't realize. Oh, that's sweet. Amazing.

SPEAKER_07 6:04

Yeah, how do you not?

SPEAKER_05 6:05

But that might be from before the armor rule. So Dolath is gonna go first. And the lights inside the building will go back on. And you see sitting at his side is the cage containing the Yel Samiri. The Elsamiri is latched onto this small like piece of tree inside of the cage. Who's closest to him?

SPEAKER_06 6:26

I would say I probably am. Okay, he's coming. I'm very confident. I don't object.

SPEAKER_05 6:31

He's coming for Gruel.

SPEAKER_07 6:33

Right where I want him. It fits. He would totally want to hurt Gruel. Right. Fucking conversation you had. Right. Bothered the hell out of him. Any other threats?

SPEAKER_05 6:42

No. No, just just heavy. One more word about the jungle. 24 against your reflex.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

Oh! Oh, my reflex is 23. That really sucks. That really sucks.

SPEAKER_05 6:55

3-4 plus 14. 14 damage? Yep. Oh, okay. As he slashes you with his single lightsaber. Okay. How far away were you?

SPEAKER_06 7:11

I have I mean, how far did he just get?

SPEAKER_05 7:13

He was behind you, so like you're up near the ship, and then he's actually in between all four of you.

SPEAKER_06 7:18

Oh, so I would have been walking confidently toward the ship, so it would have been Kanari, but I'm totally fine being attacked. Okay. Um, so I would have been a little bit behind him. So however far he got behind me.

SPEAKER_05 7:28

I'm gonna say 20 feet. This is just for the purpose of the El Samiri's radio uh radius.

SPEAKER_06 7:32

Okay. That would make because that's what he would probably do. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:36

Who's up next?

SPEAKER_07 7:37

Uh Credo.

SPEAKER_05 7:39

Credo. Oh, that's much.

SPEAKER_07 7:41

As much as this red lightsaber-wielding jackass closes in on Garul, slashing him mercilessly.

SPEAKER_08 7:48

Hmm. Where are you, Dalen Gold?

SPEAKER_07 7:52

So I was with you, and we were just about to split off, kind of to try to stick to the edges in the shadows to go over by the ship. So I think it's like Kanari and him kind of over near him, and I don't I imagine we're probably within five to ten feet, maybe, maybe fifteen, because we were just saying who we were gonna split off.

SPEAKER_08 8:10

Zach does.

SPEAKER_07 8:11

In fact, no, I probably within five feet of him because I tried to pick up the thing with the force and it fell.

SPEAKER_08 8:17

Does he see every one of us? Yeah, the lights are on. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:22

Unless you're making an actual effort to hide, yes.

SPEAKER_08 8:24

We still gotta put the tracker on.

SPEAKER_07 8:26

We're closing and close.

SPEAKER_08 8:28

I know.

SPEAKER_07 8:29

There's no wrong choice, it's just what do you want to do?

SPEAKER_08 8:32

I wanna try to go towards the shi- I don't have the tracker, you do.

SPEAKER_07 8:35

Yeah, that's the other thing, is it doesn't take more than one of us.

SPEAKER_08 8:37

So I kinda wanna like wait and see what you do. But at the same time, like You can hold your turn. Oh, you can hold it? Or basically lower your own initiative. Okay, I'm gonna lower it. I wanna I wanna go before uh after day.

SPEAKER_07 8:52

I don't appear to be reacting quickly to the scenario. The force is damaging me.

SPEAKER_08 8:56

Oh yeah, that's true. I'm gonna see what you do. Okay. So you're waiting? Yep, I'm waiting.

SPEAKER_07 9:02

Alright. Is that permanently moving initiator?

SPEAKER_05 9:05

It you can either do it once this round or permanently do it.

SPEAKER_07 9:09

So that is going to pass on to Gruel. Alright, sweet. You feel great. You feel warm and oh wait, no, that hurts. It's way more than warm. It's hot. You gotta stay my lights over. It's toasty. Yeah. It smells like toast.

SPEAKER_06 9:25

I might be smelling toast. So I have point blank shot. I also have precise shot and far shot. So I should be able to shoot him right in the face with no penalty, right? You're just Yeah, with my blaster carbine. Alright, cool. Yeah. I'm gonna try to blast him right in the face. Okay. And then I will use my other ability of running attack to move away. Class C. Why do you keep rolling into the form? I'm not trying to. It's impressive. It's dramatic, though. 14. Plus 10, so that's 24. There's one below the 25 reflex.

SPEAKER_07 10:00

Dog intimidated. Oh no, no more 10.

SPEAKER_05 10:02

So you load up and you take your shot, and he just kind of deftly moves out of the way. Alright, now I'm gonna move. Um you are in melee with him. He moved away from the cage towards you. If you move away from him, he'll get an attack of opportunity.

SPEAKER_06 11:57

Even with running attack? Yeah. If he doesn't hit me, do I still get to move? Yeah. If he does hit you and you're alive, you still get to move.

SPEAKER_05 12:04

Those are all true things. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:06

Maybe this game is hurt. Yeah, I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna let him get an attack and opportunity on me. Sick. I'm gonna move towards the cage. Oh, you're gonna go for it.

SPEAKER_05 12:16

27. Yeah, you got me. 28.

SPEAKER_07 12:19

Oh, missed. Damn. Too high.

SPEAKER_05 12:22

Ha ha! Uh-oh. How much? 26.

SPEAKER_06 12:29

That's a step down the condition track.

SPEAKER_05 12:31

As you take your step, he is just gonna like so he dodged out of your shot and is gonna slice down at your knee. How much damage was it doing? 26. 26?

SPEAKER_07 12:41

Alright, I'm at 18 health. I would use your swift to start moving up the condition track.

SPEAKER_06 12:46

Okay. So then I just go back to zero then?

SPEAKER_07 12:49

No, you have to use three swifts, but you can use them over turns. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 12:52

So that's one down. What is your second win? Is that a swift? Yes. Are you below half health? Yep. You can use your swift to get more health back.

SPEAKER_06 13:01

Um, I'm gonna grab it, and with the less last bit of my movement speed, I'm just gonna keep going away. You'd be able to move ten more feet. Trying to help out the Jedi.

SPEAKER_05 13:12

Which way are you moving? Towards the Jedi?

SPEAKER_06 13:15

Uh no, just like away from the Jedi and away from combat. I'm just grabbing the cage and I'm just running.

SPEAKER_05 13:21

So the Jedi are at the northern end. The ship is at the southern end. And the, you know, the Yel Samaria is kind of in between them, closer to the ship than to the Jedi. So you're basically picking up and going west?

SPEAKER_06 13:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:36

Okay. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 13:36

Oh, can I also be shaking the shit out of the cage to try to disturb the creature while I'm running?

SPEAKER_07 13:41

Dude, it's an insanimal. I'm still playing uh Dr. Neme right now. Channeling Dr. Neme. Sorry. Turn that off. Oh, who cares?

unknown 13:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 13:50

Daylin would probably still care. Well, I'm trying to find I'm trying to help you guys.

SPEAKER_05 13:55

So at initiative count 20, he takes a good look around at all of you. And the lights will go out again.

SPEAKER_09 14:03

I'm gonna ignite my blade. What? I'm gonna ignite my blade. My man.

SPEAKER_07 14:09

Oh yeah. That's ours. You can see where he is. Well, he's got a lightsaber.

SPEAKER_05 14:16

You can.

SPEAKER_10 14:18

Oh, I can see he's got a lightsaber. I am going to run in and attack him. Okay. That is a 14. I will miss. He just like sidesteps you. I'm gonna go again. I have a minus five to hit, but how do you do that? Double attack. Okay. I fucking got the same roll.

SPEAKER_05 14:38

You're consistent. So you step up and you take your two swipes, and he just takes two steps back and dodges both of them. Sick.

SPEAKER_10 14:46

Sick. Awesome. Fun. Nice.

SPEAKER_07 14:50

Alright, so seeing this, I trust in Kanari. Biding your time. I know what you're doing. I'm going to make a run for the ship. Without my lightsaber drawn, we don't know how well I can see. I guess if I think the running is dangerous, I might just dash, but move at half speed to be careful. Sure. If I think I can see thoroughly, like with the lights from lightsaber or anything, then I'll fall out dash.

SPEAKER_05 15:16

I would say difficult terrain kind of dealing.

SPEAKER_07 15:18

Okay, then I will dash to move 30 feet. How close does that get me? I don't know, because the lights are out. How best could I remember? I mean, like you're working on the room. We're probably like two-thirds of the way. Okay. Okay, cool. I'm happy with that. And that is what I will do. Does that take me out of the range of the Yelsamiri?

SPEAKER_05 15:34

No.

SPEAKER_07 15:35

Oh, because it puts you further into it, yeah. I just realized that. Yes. I'm working on it. No, you're good.

SPEAKER_05 15:40

Yeah, next turn, you should be able to get him out of it. Trying. Trying.

SPEAKER_06 15:44

We'll see. We'll see what you throw at me.

SPEAKER_05 15:45

Are the lights still off? The lights are off. You can two you can see two lightsabers.

SPEAKER_08 15:50

Okay. I'm gonna move a little. I'm gonna stand there. Did you say you were gonna mook? No, I'm not gonna move. Oh. I'm gonna stand there. I'm gonna say, hey, asshole. You're outnumbered. Give up. And then I'm gonna use uh my presence to use a persuasion check to intimidate him.

SPEAKER_07 16:11

Okay. Yeah, this is actually pretty cool.

SPEAKER_08 16:15

I got a nail in?

SPEAKER_03 16:20

Hey asshole!

SPEAKER_07 16:23

He steps forward and he's like, hey asshole, and Doras like, I'm over here. Oh, okay. Turns around, hey asshole. I just can't see in the fucking dark. God damn.

SPEAKER_10 16:34

Make that not lean so far. So was that worth moving your turn? Huh?

SPEAKER_05 16:39

Was that worth moving your turn?

SPEAKER_08 16:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 16:42

Yes, it was. Just for that. Next up is Dorath. And he is going to. He's gonna go at Kanari. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 16:57

Did he just completely ignore me? 33.

SPEAKER_07 17:00

Yeah, it'll hit. Yeah, he's just doesn't- you're not threatening to him at all right now. Oh.

SPEAKER_10 17:06

You got out of the way. 20 damage. It's okay. Okay. Um. I am gonna use my ability gemso to attack him.

SPEAKER_05 17:18

Uh how do you do that? I mean, what does Gemso do?

SPEAKER_10 17:22

It allows me to, on a reaction, attack them. Oh, the counter-attack form? Is that the one? That's so cool.

SPEAKER_07 17:29

Yeah. Don't at 21. So you can hit everyone that hits you. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_10 17:34

But I have to spend a force point.

SPEAKER_07 17:35

Oh, okay. I'm like, that seems insane. That's the cost. So worth it.

SPEAKER_10 17:40

I rolled a 21. So only took 18 damage. 21 to hit.

SPEAKER_07 17:48

He just healed. That will miss. Yeah, I figured. Hey, you're buying us time, I'll get there.

SPEAKER_10 17:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 17:54

The problem is I don't want him to know what I'm doing. So I have to figure out what my excuse is when I get to the ship.

SPEAKER_08 18:01

Hopefully we can distract him enough. So he doesn't even notice you doing anything.

SPEAKER_06 18:08

Sick.

SPEAKER_07 18:09

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this.

SPEAKER_06 18:10

Alright, so it's still dark. It's still dark. So this is my perfect opportunity to pull up my glow rod and illuminate it so I can see where I'm running. And then uh I would. It's kind of spelled out, but I'd like to get to the edge where I can yeet this little monkey laser feet.

SPEAKER_07 18:26

Yeet it you just doing a roleplay check? It is worth 80,000 credits. I have an idea. Dude, you're fucking awesome. Good job. I'm so proud of you.

SPEAKER_06 18:37

Yeet the child. I've got some rope. So as I get over to the side, I'm gonna look down to the street below. Are there people down there? Yes. Okay. I'm gonna basically open up notepad on the data pad if I'm allowed. Write a quick note and then put it onto a data chip, put it in the cage. Alright. Well, huh? Monkey's getting yeet then.

SPEAKER_07 19:01

You could do some of those things. That's true.

SPEAKER_05 19:06

He just sits down on the ground with his data pad and he was like, You can either write in the data pad or yeet the child.

SPEAKER_07 19:10

Why do we call it a child? That makes it so much. Because yeeting the child is fun to say. That's true.

SPEAKER_06 19:15

Leave it up to a roll. Yeah, as much as Gruel loves money, he also understands the situation. So he's gonna chuck the uh cage with monkey lizard as far as he can. I am proud of you.

SPEAKER_05 19:26

Where are you yeeting it?

SPEAKER_07 19:27

Just way as far as. And I remember you're just harming an innocent animal. And I stopped being ass proud, but still. I was gonna try to. You're harming alive. You're hard to save it.

SPEAKER_06 19:37

To sell it. Shut up. Alright, so I should roll. It's like athletics to chuck it. Or strength. Alright. So that's 10. Oh, that's not bad.

SPEAKER_05 19:45

You eat the cage and it rolls along as it hits the ground.

SPEAKER_06 19:49

Oh. Ker plat. Alright, so.

SPEAKER_05 19:53

You do feel the force return to you. Force also returns to him, though.

SPEAKER_06 19:58

Yes. That's what I'm afraid of. But now I can focus my attention on the fight.

SPEAKER_10 20:03

Now that I'm standing here, I am going to use my swift action to uh make a use the force check and do battle strike. Depending on the DC I hit, is what happens. Eight plus fifteen is twenty three. So that beats a DC 20 as gain a plus one force bonus on your next attack roll and deal an additional d6 of damage. Okay. Yeah. That's what that means. Fuck me.

SPEAKER_07 20:34

It's the one number you roll.

SPEAKER_10 20:36

That doesn't hit, but I'm gonna go again because I'm upset.

unknown 20:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 20:42

No.

unknown 20:43

Cool.

SPEAKER_10 20:43

I'm not upset enough.

SPEAKER_05 20:45

So he just you've your lightsaber. Your lightsaber blade is just swinging wildly and he's just sidestepping it.

SPEAKER_07 20:51

Your strength is the shield that you are right now. You look cool. As you just whiff and whiff and whiff as he's just evading, evading, you manage to keep his focus hopefully long enough for me to continue on. I am I am going to continue my normal movement, but moving at half speed so I don't hurt myself or run anything. Do I get to the ship?

SPEAKER_05 21:17

Yes. Alright. I would like to. You're also very close to the two lightsaber blades that are swinging. Are they? Well no, he they they move to the ship. Oh, I didn't know that. That's what I'm saying. That was what happened on the first turn.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

Then stay with us. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_07 23:20

So with the light of the lightsaber, is there any way that I could have maneuvered to a place where I break line of sight?

SPEAKER_05 23:27

Yeah, you can move around the ship.

SPEAKER_07 23:29

Then I would like to hide for my action. Make a stealth with uh plus ten. Six plus ten would be 32. Okay. Damn. So I feel confident that I'm out of line of sight. And do I just stick it on now? I don't know if that's interact with an object or it would be an action. Okay, then I'm gonna I I think I want to move anyways now that I'm hidden. So I'm gonna stay where I am and try to at least listen the best I can to what's going on. And uh with me out of sight, we see what you are doing, Kredo.

SPEAKER_08 25:33

I'm going to take out my Oh yeah, your blade's hurt.

SPEAKER_07 25:38

Yeah, it is. He ignored you.

SPEAKER_08 25:39

I'm gonna take out my vibro blade.

SPEAKER_07 25:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 25:43

And I'm going to powerful charge him, and I'm going to try to slash him upside the head. Do it. That is a 16. Oh yeah, I know. Back to Doroth.

SPEAKER_07 25:59

Yeah, unless you have anything else to do in your turn.

SPEAKER_08 26:01

No.

SPEAKER_07 26:01

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 26:02

No.

SPEAKER_07 26:03

And we come for a circle again, beginning of round three.

SPEAKER_05 26:06

He is going to use the light from the lightsabers to lock eyes with Kanari. And he's gonna use Dunmock. He's gonna make a persuasion check against your will defense. What's your will? 22. I think that's pretty good. So that is 25.

SPEAKER_07 26:25

I don't like the sound of it. Isn't that fucking the death touch?

SPEAKER_04 26:29

Your powers are weak, but your potential is there. Join me in the dark side.

SPEAKER_05 26:36

You can either take a dark side point or move one step down the condition track. As you are overcome with doubt and remorse. That is so cool.

SPEAKER_10 26:49

I think I think Kanari's angry. I think he's gonna take a dark side point.

SPEAKER_07 26:57

They literally just spent all that time telling you how you just have to survive and be tough, and now it's like the worst advice.

SPEAKER_10 27:04

He's he's not happy about what's going on. He's not doing well. He's he's fucking upset that a senator is like in tow with a fucking Sith. He's uh he's mad.

SPEAKER_04 27:18

I will show you how to battle strike. Okay, that's his turn.

SPEAKER_07 27:22

And we pass or not to, I believe, Gruel.

SPEAKER_06 27:25

Hey, Gruel time, baby. The conversation ender? Uh no, only a starter. I only know how to start. Um, alright, so I'm gonna use my running attack.

SPEAKER_07 27:35

That's gonna be your jetpack.

unknown 27:37

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 27:38

The conversation ended.

SPEAKER_06 27:42

We'll get matching jetpacks. Alright, so I'm gonna use my running attack, and I'm literally just gonna start running and shooting. Actually, I'm gonna have to throw my glow stick, so I'm gonna throw my glow stick like towards the fight, let it roll across the floor, and then I'm gonna go running, screaming, and shooting at Dorath.

SPEAKER_05 28:03

Make your attacks.

SPEAKER_06 28:04

Yeah, no, that's gonna be an 18.

SPEAKER_07 28:06

So an 18 will miss. So you're just wildly fired again as you're Aw Jesus. So as the darkness is lit up by the quick barrage of his blaster carbine, uh, Kanari.

SPEAKER_10 28:20

Kanari says to the Sith, Why are you in tow with a senator? He flouts and touts about being for the Republic, and yet he's in tow with a Sith. He's not gonna respond. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 28:38

He'll respond on his turn.

SPEAKER_10 28:41

Um, and then he's going to try to attack and do something, please. That's a fucking gnat one.

SPEAKER_07 28:49

Oh his mask falls off and he suffocates. Now you want. Oh, he's got a hole in his mask for his tongue. Oh, that's so creepy. That's some like fucking Hellraiser shit.

SPEAKER_05 29:01

So what happens on a Nat 1?

SPEAKER_10 29:05

He I didn't I think he just he swings through too hard, and he just he falls. Okay. So are you prone? Yeah. Okay. You signed up for that. I know. I I I realized as I said it, but it makes sense for Kenari. This is the one thing he's always trusted in, and he's not doing well.

SPEAKER_06 29:31

Screaming and blaster firing. And then lightsaber clashing.

SPEAKER_10 29:36

Ah screaming.

SPEAKER_07 29:39

And then he does hit him. Scream, I am hiding around the side of the ship. We'll get him. We'll hit him. One time. I'm really having a hard time deciding if I want to just hide it somewhere. Or if I want to do a perception check to like find a good spot for it. It's gonna be another round, but I don't think we have time.

SPEAKER_10 29:59

I've got decent enough health.

SPEAKER_07 30:03

Yeah, we're gonna try. Yeah, I think I'm just gonna hide it as best that I can. Try and stick it up in the like. Yeah, what do you want? Like a stealth check for me to try? Or a sleight of hand? Do you have to decide if you're using a force power before you roll?

SPEAKER_05 30:18

Yeah. Unless it specifies otherwise.

SPEAKER_07 30:22

So I am gonna use a force point. Add this to my stealth check. Glad that I did. Makes it a 19. It's not great, but it would have been four lower if I didn't force point. And with that, I am going to s Delph. Anything you can do on a Swift? Yes. Is he within 12 squares of me? Yes. So can I move so he's within line of sight?

SPEAKER_05 30:52

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 30:54

Then I am now the force is connected. I am going to, with a wave of my hand, just push the air near you. Where you're standing, he's looking down at you, and the dust and debris from the ground of the spaceport blows up into his face. And I'm trying to use the power blind. You hurl dirt, dust, or debris at your foes affecting its sight. It's a swift action and it's telekinetic. Make it use the force check. What's it? A 32. It has to beat his will defense. It beats his will defense. So, oh wait. Reflex defense, I'm sorry. Okay. Um, if it equals or exceeds the reflex defense, he's considered flat-footed, and all other creatures have concealment from your target until your next turn. Creatures that do not rely on eyesight, such as Amir Lucid, are immune to this. So he doesn't get his Dex bonus added to his reflex, and I mean I don't know what concealment is for defense, but it might help because you're prone. So he just like dust flies up in his face, and his little visor thing is that's all I got. That's pretty good though. I know that's helpful. Yeah, I took that just because it was a swift action. I'm like, wait, what? That's insane. Credo? So, yep, out of desperation, and my my last chance at blinding him, Credo, you see that for a moment it looks like he may not be able to see very well. How do you seize the opportunity?

SPEAKER_08 32:11

How do I seize the opportunity?

SPEAKER_07 32:14

Oh, you should kill him. Good point. It's a good plan. Yeah, let's see.

SPEAKER_10 32:19

Let's just murder him.

SPEAKER_08 32:20

Oh, we should kill him?

SPEAKER_07 32:21

I think you need like a four or five on a D20. Let's tuck him into bed.

SPEAKER_08 32:24

Honestly, since he's like blinded right now, I think we should take this opportunity to escape, but I don't see how.

SPEAKER_10 32:34

I don't see how. I am not.

SPEAKER_08 32:37

Is there like an exit to the spaceport somewhere nearby?

SPEAKER_05 32:41

Basically, like you guys are on the bottom level of a parking garage that's on top of a skyscraper. So, like, you could literally go any direction and jump out a window.

SPEAKER_08 32:54

Any direction, jump. So technically, we could jump back down on the fire escape and escape. Yes.

SPEAKER_07 33:01

I didn't even dawn on me, but yeah, this is the chance to run.

SPEAKER_08 33:04

I don't think we're gonna beat him, so.

SPEAKER_07 33:06

Yeah, that's brilliant. I was just trying to keep it from him uh uh Kanari from getting hit too hard.

SPEAKER_10 33:12

I might have Kanari stick around.

SPEAKER_07 33:16

I mean, if we can get out of here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 33:19

I might have Kanari stick around for one more round to get you guys out of there.

SPEAKER_08 33:23

I'm going to look up, look down at Kanari. And I'm gonna say, get up and get out of here. And then I'm gonna powerful charge. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_06 33:39

My man. Oh shit, boy. Okay. Wild card, bitches.

SPEAKER_07 33:44

Yeah, you thought you had it this season. That's the real the their dynamic is just gonna be- Oh, did you see how close that was?

SPEAKER_08 33:54

16 plus 9. Well that's 21.

SPEAKER_06 33:58

Against his reflex, but his reflex lowered because he's binding? He doesn't get his DAX bonus. Yeah, he's flat-footed.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

Stay with us. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_05 35:45

So what is your total? Twenty-one?

SPEAKER_08 35:46

Well I got a twelve. Um plus I get um four which makes it a sixteen plus nine. It's twenty-three.

SPEAKER_05 35:56

And then does point blink adds plus one. That's twenty-four. That's a glancing blow. Glancing blow. If you spend a force point, you can add a d6. I shall.

SPEAKER_08 36:08

Can I see another D So God right here? So what does that charging ability do? It adds more damage. When you charge, you gain plus two bonus to your melee attack row roll. If your melee attack hits, you deal additional damage equal to one half of your level.

SPEAKER_05 36:25

So you say plus two. Yeah, so you didn't even need the force point. The plus two from the charging attack would have gotten you there.

SPEAKER_06 36:31

Oh. Oh. Fuck them up, Justin!

SPEAKER_08 36:35

Okay, I'll just roll my damage. Six, seven, eight. Plus eight, sixteen damage. Nice. Dude. Good work. So you run up and you're just slashing at him with your bybro blade. Yeah, just smacking him real hard while he's blinded by dust. Excellent. Right across the chest.

SPEAKER_05 36:54

Perfect.

SPEAKER_08 36:55

Hopefully he gets a scar from it.

SPEAKER_05 36:56

And next up is him. Uh next up is him. Oh. And he's blinded.

SPEAKER_07 37:01

Yes. To the start of my turn.

SPEAKER_05 37:03

So what does that do for him?

SPEAKER_07 37:05

So he's considered flat footed when people attack him, and all other creatures have concealment from him till the start of our next turn. I'm looking it up.

SPEAKER_05 37:13

Okay. He is still going to speak to Kanari.

SPEAKER_04 37:16

You see what the light side brings you. Down on the ground there. Rise up and join me. Fulfill your potential.

SPEAKER_05 37:28

15 plus 13 is 28 against your will. Yeah, so you can take a dark side point or go down the condition track.

SPEAKER_07 37:37

You do have a he has a minus two on that attack roll for you being concealed. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

SPEAKER_05 37:42

It's a persuasion check. Oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_07 37:44

I thought it was. Yeah, that's. Yeah, because he was talking. I think you could take another point. Tell me how he's feeling.

SPEAKER_10 37:52

Damn, Kanari. Kanari. Kanari is only trusted in his lightsaber his entire life. No one other than Dalen has trusted him. No one. His power with the force isn't that strong, and he literally has not been able to have any effect other than distraction. And I think that is getting to him.

SPEAKER_06 38:21

Okay. So Gruul doesn't know that the plans to run yet or run away. Um, so I'm just gonna move up to my glow rod, and I'm just gonna stand over it, still is screaming and shooting at Dorath.

SPEAKER_07 38:34

The visual of like the uplighting making you look like a mad storyteller.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

Alright, so that's that's lower than my last one.

SPEAKER_05 38:41

No, I don't think I had. Then after Gruul. You want to spend another swift to start going back up the condition?

SPEAKER_07 38:47

Yeah. Um, then it is my friend on the ground, Kinari.

SPEAKER_10 38:54

Kinari is going to slowly stand up and say, I would rather struggle to rise upon my own merits, protecting the people I care about, than ever rely on such a crutch as the dark side. And he's going to swing.

SPEAKER_05 39:15

You take a minus- Oh, you did stand up. You're good.

SPEAKER_10 39:17

Never mind.

SPEAKER_07 39:19

God, that was fire, dude. Goosebumps, it's gonna hurt.

SPEAKER_10 39:24

Foster me. It's a three on the die. That's not gonna hit. Are you rolling d3s? I think so.

SPEAKER_07 39:33

You might have better results rolling a d4. Give me your dice. There's a 25% chance you roll better on a d4 for the rest of the encounter.

SPEAKER_10 39:40

Fuck it. I'm gonna attack again. That's a 14 on the die. That's 25 minus 5 is 20.

SPEAKER_05 39:48

You don't have why do you have a minus five?

SPEAKER_10 39:50

Minus five for double attack.

SPEAKER_05 39:52

Ah.

SPEAKER_10 39:52

Can I use a force point?

SPEAKER_05 39:54

Yep.

SPEAKER_10 39:55

I need a five or a six. You got two chances. Oh, that's a good point. Oh, we're there are none on Oh god.

SPEAKER_09 40:05

It's more three.

SPEAKER_10 40:11

Uh he misses.

SPEAKER_07 40:15

Is there a flanking mechanic in this?

SPEAKER_10 40:18

I think there's flanking.

SPEAKER_07 40:19

I don't know if we established where he where we didn't. That's the only thing I got.

SPEAKER_08 40:25

Is he still blinded at all or no?

SPEAKER_05 40:27

No.

SPEAKER_07 40:27

Wait.

SPEAKER_05 40:28

I don't know when it ends. If it's his turn. So it's a 24 reflex.

SPEAKER_07 40:33

Oh, so it's still the 24, yeah. Damn, I thought I closed the gap. Yeah, I don't think you can get up that high.

SPEAKER_10 40:42

I still have a movement, right? I still have a movement, right?

SPEAKER_05 40:45

You have half your movement. Half movement. I'm gonna just I'm gonna start running. You will get an attack of opportunity. That's okay. Okay. He does take a minus five, but that's a 19 on the die. So 14 plus 19 is still like 33.

SPEAKER_10 40:59

Yeah, that is.

SPEAKER_05 41:00

For 16. 16? Yep. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 41:04

You get DR. Yeah. Nice. Nice. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 41:09

Well, you were at a scribble before.

SPEAKER_10 41:12

It's not my fault that all of your markers suck dick.

SPEAKER_05 41:16

Oh, you're good. I'm gonna stop holding back.

SPEAKER_06 41:18

So I'm just dead.

SPEAKER_10 41:21

Yeah. Can I use my gem so? It just says when I take damage. Once per round when I take damage. Yes. Okay. So as I run away, I am also going to swipe at him again. And not hit.

SPEAKER_05 41:35

That's fine. So you're just dancing around him, swinging wildly and missing.

SPEAKER_07 41:40

And with that, it does begin my turn. His vision returns to him. And I am standing over by the ship, but I'm in plain sight now because I walked out to blind him. Holy cow, I have minimal options.

SPEAKER_05 41:55

I think we all do.

SPEAKER_07 41:57

How far is he from me? Ten feet.

SPEAKER_05 42:00

If he swung back around the ship.

SPEAKER_07 42:04

Okay. Staring out at him, Kanari's just back on his feet, and I'm gonna like slam my fist into my hand for a second, and then I'm gonna throw them both out in front of me. And as I do, I'm going to tell him that Kanari is not the one that belongs on the ground. And I'm gonna try to force slam him. Maybe that'll give us a chance to get away. So this is a use the force check against his 42 defense. I'm just trying a variety of shit now. That 20. Noise! Finally! So actually, this is a telekinetic power. So I when I crit something. When you're a natural 20 and use the force check to activate a telekinesis, a power with the telekinesis descriptor, you may choose to use that power again immediately as a free action. So I'm gonna slam him and then slam him down to the ground. So he's going to take a hit from the first one. The second one I'll have to do on the roll.

SPEAKER_08 42:58

Oh, we needed this.

SPEAKER_07 42:59

It can generate an additional target, I believe. So this is uh force slam. It takes 4d6 points of force damage. So he is going to get hit for 14 damage and is knocked prone. Beautiful. Um and I get to do it again. So as he drops to the ground, I am now raising my fists above my head and bringing them down as I hammer him with the force. That's still like 27. I think it's 42. Yeah, for that. Okay. I think I get to use that. 15. So 14 from the first one, 15 from the second one. Sweet. And I'm gonna use my movement to try to get to the edge. Anywhere to the edge of this floor. Okay, cool. Am I able to get there? Yeah. Oh, okay, cool. So I'm gonna run over to like the edge of the balcony and just kind of turn back to see how you guys are doing and able to get out of there.

SPEAKER_10 43:58

And sometimes the dice tell a story.

SPEAKER_08 44:00

Credo. These pronies on the ground. Okay. I see that you're comfortable down there. And then I'm going to turn and run.

unknown 44:09

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_05 44:10

Thank you. So he does get an attack of opportunity still, but it is at a minus five.

SPEAKER_08 44:14

Oh, I'm gonna skip over that lightsaber.

SPEAKER_07 44:18

I just pictured the skip it totally. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 44:23

21.

unknown 44:25

Nope. Oh!

SPEAKER_05 44:27

You skipped it! Wildly swings his blade and you hop over it. Oh, yep.

SPEAKER_08 44:31

Nice. Get the fuck out of there. And then I wanna take uh I just want to run towards where the balcony where it was where we came from. So the opposite direction. Yes.

SPEAKER_07 44:43

Yeah, I just ran to the edge. You ran you're running to where it came.

SPEAKER_08 44:45

You ran east, you're running north.

SPEAKER_05 44:47

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_08 44:47

Okay. I want to I just want to make sure we're if we're splitting the party, we're splitting the party. I want to sure way down because I can't float like.

SPEAKER_07 44:53

Yeah. I actually can't do that again, but I have a different power that lets me run along walls. Oh, well. I ignore the effects of gravity as long as I'm walking away with surface. Okay. Who's up? Uh, we circle back to um that battle guy that we're fighting with. Dorath. I know his name, it's written down. I just don't want to say it.

SPEAKER_05 45:09

So he's gonna stand up. He's gonna spend a swift action to battle strike. He promised you one.

SPEAKER_10 45:18

He did. He did promise me one.

SPEAKER_05 45:22

So that's a 28, which I think adds 3d6 damage. It does. No, yeah, it does, I know. Okay, so 2d8 plus 3d6, and then he's gonna spend a force point to add an additional 2d6. So this plus 10.

unknown 45:43

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 45:45

To hit? Oh, he hit you. No, I hit you. You hit me? Yeah. So 10, 15. Wait, did you roll on attack roll? I don't know if I did or not.

SPEAKER_07 45:58

Yeah, you got a 28. No, that was on the use the force. That's why it confused me.

SPEAKER_05 46:02

So eight plus ten is eighteen plus. That's it. 18. That misses. No, I'm sorry. Plus 20.

SPEAKER_07 46:10

Yeah, I was like, I thought you had a 19. Alright, yeah, that's 20 is. No, you're right. The D20 was roll, but it was the force power.

SPEAKER_05 46:17

15, 20, 25, 30, 33, 31, plus 10 is 41. Oh, that hurts. I'm still up.

SPEAKER_07 46:26

Holy crap! You are made of something else, dude. Jesus.

SPEAKER_05 46:33

But you are a step down the condition track.

SPEAKER_07 46:34

Oh, yes, I am. Honestly, good thing you were taking those dark side points, though.

SPEAKER_04 46:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 46:40

Holy cow.

SPEAKER_04 46:41

That is how you battle strike. Fuck yourself.

SPEAKER_06 46:45

So is your shoulder hanging on by like a tendon? Holy shit. Yeah, I have 11 health.

SPEAKER_07 46:51

And he gets it his turn, so he gets his attack of opportunity back. That sucks.

SPEAKER_10 46:57

He's mean. I don't get the gem so either because I already did it this round. Gruel time, baby.

SPEAKER_06 47:04

Yeah, it's gruel. Gruel time. Yep. Alright. So is it gonna be an expensive action cost just to like kick my glow stick towards the fire escape? Or am I just able to kick it and start rolling it that way to help light up the way? That's fine. Okay. So I'm gonna kick it and have it start lighting up the way. I'm gonna start running towards the fire escape, but I'm not gonna stop screaming and shooting at Dolwrath while I do so. I'm just curious what the scream sounds like. Uh that's 21. Nope.

unknown 47:36

Nope.

SPEAKER_06 47:37

I've 20. Wait, wait, wait. Is it too late for me to add one? Can I spend a force point? Yeah, I'm spending the force point!

SPEAKER_05 47:43

You guys should be. I don't care.

SPEAKER_06 47:45

So I'm at 21, so I need to get two.

SPEAKER_05 47:46

You need a four.

SPEAKER_06 47:47

I need a four?

SPEAKER_05 47:48

Yeah. And you get to roll two of them and take the higher.

SPEAKER_06 47:51

Well, anyways. Okay. Destiny. Destiny. You didn't even have a choice. Which one are you using? My blaster cardboard. No, which five?

SPEAKER_07 48:00

Uh you can face the shit out of him. Wow. Very explosive. Have you ever made a dice roll where you can see all the dice? We've done this one. Alright, 11. Damage? Yeah. Sick. I have precise shot, so I didn't hit Kanari. Nice. Thinking of you. Alright, so as those blasters land into him. Kanari, your turn. Is there like a disengage action in this game?

SPEAKER_10 48:22

There is.

SPEAKER_07 48:23

There's a shift, actually, isn't there? Don't you move five feet when you go?

SPEAKER_05 48:26

There's a shift. You can move. So shifting, you can move five feet immediately, but it has to get you out of an attack of opportunity square. And then you can move an additional 15.

SPEAKER_09 48:39

I'm gonna do that.

SPEAKER_05 48:40

So you can move towards the fire escape. You'll get there next round. Sick.

SPEAKER_10 48:45

Awesome. Yeah, I can't do any jackpot.

SPEAKER_07 48:48

Alright, and with that, it is my turn. Oh, Jesus, we have to get out of here. I have a way out. Do you have any more delays? Yeah. That's kind of the thing I do. So if I was gonna take a bunch of force powers, I'm like, crazy damage doesn't seem fun to me. Alright, so as those blasters hit him, I am going to. My hands I just had plummeted down to the ground when I slammed him the second time. This time I'm gonna throw out both of them. My fingers curled slightly as I tried to grip him. Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, no, that was bad. So that puts me at a 23. It only gets the second dairy and so if your use of force checks exceeds the target's fortitude defense with a 23. It will not. Damn it! You want to spend a force? So the target would take damage. Um, otherwise the target takes half damage and may act normally. Yeah, I gotta use a force point.

SPEAKER_05 49:46

I think. Okay. He is going to use his reaction. Make a use of the force check and try and rebuke.

unknown 50:00

God damn rebuke.

SPEAKER_05 50:02

So this plus 18. Yep. 37. Give me a So he's gonna reflect it back at you. Can he rebuke it back? That's I don't know. Yeah, I think you can. Yeah, you'd use your reaction to you could rebuke it back. Oh, it's like a game of tennis. Fucking puke.

SPEAKER_07 50:19

Here's my argument, and I'll I'll accept it if you're fine with it. But the target is one force power directed at you, and rebuke you harmlessly absorb. Wait, where is it? So is rebuke rebuke isn't targeting me, it's targeting my force power.

SPEAKER_05 50:34

No, I'm directing the force power at you.

SPEAKER_07 50:36

Oh, so you're throwing it back at me. So then I can.

SPEAKER_05 50:39

Okay, I thought you were just doing the absorbed thing. It's kind of like counterspelling.

SPEAKER_07 50:42

I thought it was like the force power of I didn't keep reading. Oh, is he badass?

SPEAKER_05 50:46

Now, if he is successful, I can't do anything else. You only get one reaction.

SPEAKER_07 50:51

Did you already roll?

SPEAKER_05 50:53

It was a 38. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 50:56

This is almost impossible for me to make but I have to try. Jesus. I think that because it's plus 18, so it's a 34. Oh, Jesus, guys.

SPEAKER_05 51:12

So here's the interesting thing is if you do rebuke it back to me, we both take the attack. We both take the effects.

SPEAKER_07 51:18

Oh, for real?

SPEAKER_05 51:19

Yeah, that's actually pretty sweet. So I sent it back to you.

SPEAKER_07 51:24

Yeah, I'm gonna fucking we both just start like floating off the ground, grabbing each other, let's see if it works. No! Two ones! Oh and he just closes his fingers around me, and I'm gonna just dickbag. How much it was your power. Four d6. And I can only take a swift action on my next turn.

SPEAKER_05 51:48

You take 10, 14, 17. Boss battle.

SPEAKER_08 51:53

Got his attention.

SPEAKER_05 51:53

Boss battle, baby.

SPEAKER_08 51:55

As I go to jump over to the fire escape, I notice Dalen up in the air getting crushed. So I turn around and I take a shot with my rifle. Ooh, Justin. 15. 9. It's 24. 24. Four stuff. Four is point. They had point. Oh yeah, I didn't add point blank, so it's 25.

SPEAKER_07 52:19

I don't know what the point blank is. What gun are you using? Uh the rifle.

SPEAKER_08 52:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 52:23

Oh, it is. Yeah, it's crazy. So you well, that's glancing blow.

SPEAKER_08 52:27

It's a glancing blow?

SPEAKER_07 52:28

And in order to break his concentration, you want to deal with it.

SPEAKER_08 52:30

I don't want a glancing blow. I want a full blow.

SPEAKER_06 52:37

Ladies and gentlemen, with a four.

SPEAKER_08 52:40

Oh, that made my day. Thank you. That hits. Okay, I need three D8s.

SPEAKER_07 52:46

Well, you've managed to solve the force point problem this season. Jeez. I need another one.

SPEAKER_08 52:51

Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 52:51

This is intense, man.

SPEAKER_08 52:55

Okay. Oh, big blow. Man, you hit him so hard, he's gonna be gurgling. Uh 20 plus four. That's 24 damage. Nice.

SPEAKER_10 53:04

Holy shit. He did a gurgling blow. He is below a hundred. That's a big blow.

unknown 53:08

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 53:09

He's what? He's below 100.

SPEAKER_07 53:10

Oh yes! Where's it? If you suffer damage while maintaining a force grip, you must succeed on a use the force check. DC equals 15 plus the damage taken to continue concentrating. So 24 plus 15 would be 39.

SPEAKER_05 53:22

I can't. I don't think I can be that without an at 20. No, I can't. I would max a 38 even if I net 20.

SPEAKER_07 53:28

Let me double check. DC is 15 plus the damage take you to 24, right? Yep. So I just got released from force grip.

SPEAKER_08 53:35

Yeah, I'm gonna jump over. Holy crap, dude. Who's still in the room?

SPEAKER_06 53:39

I'm on my way to the fire escape.

SPEAKER_05 53:41

How far away are you?

SPEAKER_06 53:42

I have no idea. I'm just sort of kicking my glow stick and running towards the uh the fire escape and screaming and shooting.

SPEAKER_05 53:48

He is going to use force lightning and invoke the force secret multi-target power.

SPEAKER_07 53:56

Oh, yeah, of course we're not.

SPEAKER_05 53:57

Sick. He doesn't have a destiny point, so he can only attack two of you. You will attack Gruel and Dalen. I have a whopping 18 health. Hey, at least it's better than eight. So 36 against your reflex.

SPEAKER_06 54:11

That is a hit. Oh yeah, I'm getting hurt. I don't know why I asked.

SPEAKER_05 54:15

I should have just assumed. Eight, eleven, sixteen. Oh, twenty one. Twenty, thirty-two, thirty-six to both of you, and you're each a step down the condition track. As you're both hit with force lightning.

SPEAKER_07 54:32

In addition to the damage threshold, right?

SPEAKER_05 54:35

Yes. So I'm two steps down the condition track.

SPEAKER_06 54:37

Do I get to use the force point to not die? Is that still a thing? Yes, cool. So I am unconscious. Okay. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 54:43

I demand your surrender.

SPEAKER_05 54:45

So, Peyton, with you being unconscious, give me a memory that flashes before your eyes.

SPEAKER_06 54:51

So, uh, as Gruul is lying there unconscious in his dream state, uh, we cut into a little scene of a child who is not Gruul uh sitting on a bench. And he seems to be looking through a bag of candy and sweets and other little sugary delights. And from background, there's a dark alleyway. And two older boys with Gruel standing in between them come up to the edge of the darkness and they look out at him and they mutter something to Gruul. And Gruul goes up behind the kid and he starts talking to him. Hey, buddy, what you got there? And the kid goes, Well, I got some sweets. And he goes, Really? You got some sweets? Your mom gave you all of those? That's a lot for just one kid. And the kid goes, Well, I'm not gonna eat it all at once. And he goes, Well, you know, you can get a lot more candy than just that. I've got some friends, and we got a whole wagon of candy down in the alleyway. So if you want to fill that bag up a little bit higher, you should come with us. And the kid naively gets up and follows Gruul into the alley with the two older boys, and the scene ends. Jesus Christ. Uh, Kanari.

SPEAKER_05 55:55

How much HP do you have?

SPEAKER_07 55:56

Eight.

SPEAKER_05 55:57

How much HP do you have? 23. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 56:01

Oh, I I have all of them.

SPEAKER_07 56:05

He has all of them.

SPEAKER_08 56:07

I have all of them.

SPEAKER_07 56:08

And he's gone already. Shit, man. Dipto. I did exactly what we said we'd need.

SPEAKER_05 56:14

How far away is Skrill? He was booking it already. Were you going east or west?

SPEAKER_06 56:21

I was going to the fire escape. North to the fire escape.

SPEAKER_05 56:24

North. Okay. So 30 feet.

SPEAKER_06 56:27

30 feet? It's easy to find me. I have a glow stick next to me.

SPEAKER_10 56:30

Can I head towards him and pick him up?

SPEAKER_05 56:35

Yes. I think you're gonna give up attack of opportunity. No, I disengage. You're right. Yep. You can go. It'll get you 15 feet to get there.

SPEAKER_06 56:44

You do the classic force drag if you can and drag me to you.

SPEAKER_05 56:48

Okay, I'm gonna run up to him and try to pick him up. Make a strength check.

SPEAKER_10 56:51

Okay. Pure strength? Yep. 18?

SPEAKER_05 56:54

Pick him up.

SPEAKER_10 56:54

Pick him up and I bring him to the fire escape. How big are you? Because Rule's a big guy. Six foot two hundred?

SPEAKER_07 57:01

Roughly, yeah. Average build. And standing at the edge of the structure. I am going to. I have to get out of here. So I am going to stand up on the railing and tell him that I would rather die than join him. And I am gonna over the edge. As I draw upon the force to use inertia. Use the force check. Probably gonna end this. So a 23 would get me there. So I'm gonna use like another goddamn force point. 31 maxes it out. Okay. So you can move up to your full speed, plus four additional squares along a wall as though it were ground, ignoring the neural effects of gravity for the duration of this movement. If you are not on the ground, when you take this movement, you fall to the ground. So I am going to run down and try to sprint along the side until I can find copper somewhere. Or a window? I don't know if it's a good one.

SPEAKER_05 58:00

You would be able to find fire escape.

SPEAKER_07 58:02

Okay, then that's what I'll go for. I I don't know that would be 70 feet. 70 feet down or 70 feet over. Whichever direction I want to go. If I can get to it. That's the goal. And if I feel like I'm not gonna get to it, I'm gonna climb back up. But that that's pretty much my turn there. That's so cool. I will use uh because I didn't use my actually as inertia, it is a standard, I'm assuming. Um it is a move action, so I'll use my standard and my swift is two swifts to put myself back. And that takes us to Creed up.

SPEAKER_08 58:34

Oh, I'm running down that fire escape. Perhaps I'll meet you on the way. Because you said you're running towards her, right? Yes. So I'm just booking it down there.

SPEAKER_06 58:44

You're going down the fire escape, and your teammate comes around the edge of the building running sideways at you. Like that's so badass.

SPEAKER_08 58:51

Yeah, as fast as I can. Just as far as I can go down this escape on my turn.

SPEAKER_07 58:57

And it is his turn.

SPEAKER_08 58:58

And you hear a voice from above.

SPEAKER_05 59:01

What? What happened? We need to go now! And you hear the repulsor lift engines of the yacht fire up. And above you, you see the yacht take off into the sky and into space. And that's where we'll end it.

SPEAKER_10 59:17

That was brutal. That was so cool. Jesus fucking Christ, though. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 59:24

SPEAKER_06 1:00:12

But other than that, great guy. Super Dude. Great guy. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:23

So he has ability, a talent called Dark Side Scourge. It's not coming into play. But against creatures with a dark side score of one or higher, he deals extra damage on melee attacks. So he can literally draw you to the dark side and then deal more damage against you. That's magnificent.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:37

That's mean. That's crazy. That's magnificent. That's just burning your rage inside of your mind.
