I'll need a decision on whether to dodge or not, I am afraid, Rah! Can't make an attack whilst under attack... err, unless you have a power that says otherwise, of course.
Why cant I parry? I thought to parry was to defend and opponants attack into an attack against them. 😕
Oh well Rah will dodge left...
Rah follows his dodge with viscious nerve strike to Scremens ribs.

So called 'Reflex attacks' need a specific power to work- you used Riposte against the Osokans.
Sreman rolls -2, a miss, and then tries to dodge your Nerve Strike but a +3 from you gets him in the solar plexus! Nine damage there.
Rah: 12(3)/0/5
Sreman: 2/9/6

Sreman, recovering, then sneaks in a quick jab to your side, Rah- a Channelled blow.

"The aim is simple, my friend, This is a quick draw contest. Out draw your virtual opponent three times in a row, and you win!
"The surprise comes here..." says the Rodian, poitning to a small hole under the display screen. "Let your opponent shoot first... and the shot is for real! Already illegal in over 98% of the Inner Worlds! Of course, on the practice setting, we leave that bit out..."

As it turns out, Takuan, your roll was so good that the question was moot!
You actually spend your time hanging out with one of Bora's bodyguard. They are a permanently tetchy lot, because as Heir Bora has to watch his position in case one of his siblings decides that the main line should belong to THEM... so they drink rather a lot when off-duty to relive the pressure.
From your cajolings, you get this:
- The Serpent is losing money. True, the Republic is tightening up these days, and Hutt competition is fierce, but even so, it is losing more than it should. Central control is slipping- most likely the various cells (particularly their leaders) are keeping more than they are due. Vigo is coming under fire for being a better criminal than administrator, for letting them get away with this. His answer to the problems, when it comes, is likely to be genocidal, which if not handled right could seriously hamper the Serpent for a lomg time
- As Doon intimated, feeling is that Bora is NOT the way forward for the Serpent- like his Dad in all the unhelpful ways, and not even as good at them. This makes the bodyguard extra twitchy.
- Mika, next brother down, is VERY pushy and ambitious, and he's not dumb either. If only he was more strongly built, he's probably have all the support he would need to secure the line for himself. Even so, a lot of people are looking to him for the future.
- Yago is getting worse, and only Lantarnan traiditon has kept him alive- that and that he is too pointless to kill.
- Deva gave up on powergaming ages ago, and just spends his time in endless leisure activities. Mind you, this does make him an effective liasion with corrupt Republican authorities, even though that is technically Mika's job.
- Jena... everyone is scared of Jena, but Serpent tradition is against a woman becoming too powerful. Everyone is pretty sure she never made an attempt to knock off Bora, on the grounds that he is still alive- as far as people know, anyone who stood in her way never lived long. She's quite something, and has brought the Serpent a lot of power.
- But other than 'upstairs', little clue as to where the tablet is.

Ok, Galder, they think they might have an opponent for you...
Did you answer my question to you, Melkor?
-
Galder, the guy they have you up against is pretty fit looking, and seems to be practicing with two short iron bars that he wields...
-
"You know," says Doon, as the foes close in, "I can't help thinking that that showeed a certain deficiency in your leadership style..."

I am okay with having to make rolls.
