Alright, it's that time again. Round three here at the DVT (Decent Versus Thread)...
This will be a four part challenge, time based. We're going off of the time advantages decided upon for round two (Which I'll post on later here... just trying to get this round out for now).
The first part of the challenge is one of skill. Armed with only a crude spear, the combatants must stalk and kill a krayt dragon, stealing the precious pearl it carries. The setting is of course the Tattooine desert. Remember, time is of the essence.
The second part is one of perception. There is an opera at the Coruscanti amphitheatre one night. Easily twenty thousand people or more are in attendance, whether in the show or lounging in the bar downstairs. One of them is a shapeshifting Force user, masking their presence using a special technique (As both Dooku, Sidious, and Assajj have done before) This shapeshifter is really an assassin, seeking to hide in the crowd and escape from its recent crime. The goal of the players in their quest is to locate and apprehend (Not kill, though maiming may be required) the individual, and escort them away without drawing too much notice (Something like freezing everyone and scanning their minds is out of the question.) The players are armed with small vibroblades, sized like in KOTOR.
The third part is a challenge of duration. Each player is isolated of course, facing similar circumstances. In this part, each is dropped into a fortificated hilltop that is under siege by Clone Troopers. The player is armed with a blaster pistol (heavy), though he is entitled to anything he can scavenge. Note that Yoda is rather small to be using something like a high powered blaster rifle, btw. The defenders are ewoks. Yes. Those things. And they have primitive works. The defender (Remember each is in his own scenario. Assuming they have made good time, they will have this amount of time to prepare)
1st place- An hour
2nd place- Half hour
3rd place- fifteen minutes
4th place- two minutes.
The objective is to stay alive until the siege stops, at which point stage four begins.
And here's the fun part: the player must hop into a jedi starfighter and navigate through a trecherous asteroid field while chasing and trying to destroy Anakin Skywalker in a TIE fighter.
Seriously, I'm NOT trying to kill anyone off... lol..
And remember: ONe man out at the end of this. Who would make the worst time (Or even die, as in the duration round?)

Damn I don't even know where to start.

Revan
1. Ok for the first challenge...I doubt the spear is going to be much help so I would think, Revan would blast the Dragon with Force Lightning or some other offensive Force power. Now as for how much time this would take? I dunno on that.
2. The second challange should be somewhat akin to, Revan's liking IMO since he seems to be the kind of person who would excell at something like this. Although IMO it would take some time.
3. Third challenge...well even with only a blaster any Sith is is a danger due to the offensive nature of the Dark Side so I would think, Revan being the tactical genius that he is and armed with Dark Side Force powers would do quite well here.
4. Fourth challenge...you tell me? We have no idea if Revan was a ace pilot or sucks worse than a drunk whore.
Obi-Wan(incredibly still alive)
1. First challenge? Now this is a hard one for Obi (and the hell with the Genoisis arena battle), but I think he could leap up on top of the dragon's head and then stab him through the head IMO. But it would take time I think.
2. Second challenge? Obi will excell here since he is smart and thinks fast. It should not take him long at all.
3. Third Challenge? I really don't know about Obi's tactical skills to make a good argument here.
4. Foruth Challenge? Obi will excell here since he is know as a crack jack pilot. Although since it's Anakin flying it's gonna take Obi some time to take the imbicle down.
Exar Kun
1. First Challenge? Kun wastes the dragon end of story.
2. Second Challenge? Kun is not one for this kind of challenge and I think he will loose a lot time here.
3. Third Challenge? Kun never struck me as a tactical genuis so I am not sure if he would do very well here. I think it would cost him some time.
4. Fourth Challenge? I dunno.
Yoda
1. First Challenge? Yoda is gonna have trouble here, I mean the little dude would have a hard time holding the spear...or on the other hand he could just use the Force to hold it.
2. Second Challenge? Yoda excells here and makes up for time lost fighting the Dragon.
3. Third Challenge? Once again I have no idea.
4. Fourth Challenge? Was Yoda a good pilot? How the hell should I know?
My Lineup
1st Place: Revan
2nd Place: Yoda/Obi
3rd Place: Kun
I'd like to point out a few things:
First off, Revan is likely a damn good pilot, since he was implied as the champion of the Manaan swoop racing circuit in KOTOR II by a swoop race organizer, and obviously beat the Taris season opener.
Second, Obi-Wan was a general and a good tactician. He lead many assaults.
Third, I don't think Obi-Wan's really that in league with Anakin in piloting. I could be wrong, but I just haven't seen it.
Honestly, I don't see anyone excelling at the second task. Masked, it took the entire Jedi Council, Yoda included, to discover a person in a VISIBLE position. In a room of 20000 people, which would likely be more than the Senate itself, I'd imagine it'd be extremely difficult for anyone.
If someone were to manage to pluck them out, it'd likely be by the mistake of the captee or sheer dumb luck. I don't see anyone having a significant advantage here.
True. So let's make the assumption that the assassin will give themselves away with a nature that is less than casual. For example, to pick out a person in a crowd who has guarded or negative emotions, or who skulks a bit more than the usual. Keep in mind this assassin just knocked off, say, Valorim the chancellor. If the Force user is wise enough to ferret out such a person, whether with a distraction or otherwise, they would have the definite advantage.
