USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (RENEGADES)- Battlefield

We move in, but wait till they are within the trees... bottle neck them. I wanna do another observation. What can we use to our advantage?

do you mean literally or figurativly? 😕

Haha, I meant figuratively but it seems that we need Intimidation for this one. Vera-Kin's got this since she has Intimidation at 1, then can use Presence for a +2 bonus and Leadership to affect the leaders that you spotted in the crowd. That roll was very useful, Jovan. 🙂

Vera-Kin will shout or use some sort of comm on Xeth's ship to make herself heard.

"Okay, listen up!" Vera-Kin says. "We don't have much time! If you follow our orders without question and do so swiftly we can get more of you out of here, but if you lose control we will be forced to leave! So do what I tell you and you can all escape! Don't listen and you won't!"

Vera-Kin has her lightsaber activated in order to attract attention to herself, aside from her subtle use of the Force to provide a greater Presence for herself. She tries to impact the important figureheads in the audience that Jovan pointed out with Leadership, so that things go more smoothly.

yeah, I kept quiet because I was unsure you ment I had to actually tackle them or just yell at them...

I don't have the right skills and all, but yelling to the important figures can only improve the situation, right?
perhaps I could also yell at them that they should control the crowds?

You have Leadership, Jovan, that is also an acceptable skill, even though Intimidation is the best one.

Leadership is probably better for the crowd control and Intimidation for facing down troublemakers, in all honesty. Maybe you should switch?

Denz- you have no time to prepare anything particularly nasty, but a well timed sabre stroke could send a tree rolling down towards them., Best of all, that will force the droidekas to stay in walker mode (as when rolling, fallen trees give them trouble) so they won;t be able to get away.

Denzral removes his sabre from his belt but doesn't ignite it. "I'll deal with the tree, you wait the take them out afterwards."

In other words, I'm go for slicing the tree down yea?

Good call, Denzral.

And Jovan should tackle it, Vera. We want these people to trust us, not fear us.

yeah sure, so then I'm the one pointing at those guys and having a booming voice asking/demanding they help to calm the crowd

Sorry for my absence as of late, just give me 2 more days and I'll be back on with a plan to push the enemy back etc. It's the end of term and they've pilled the workload on, 3 essays and a presentation to complete, down to one essay now 😄 Anyway, 2 more days and I'll have the time to play more.

Ok, so it is mostly down to which of Vlad and Sean is going to front the attack, and who is nipping around the flank.

-

Jovan- demanding things of them like that is really the Intimidate thing. Leadership is to get some order into the entiire crowd.

Sean's call, Vlad could attempt both.

Can Kiu get across to the other side from Denz?

You can indeed.

Ok, ready... Go.

shoot, errr... how to formulate it...

Leadership...

can I get those bigshots as far that they influence the big heavy strong guys to get upfront and s low things down.?

Jovan A word from Denzral's book. Float a Thermal Detonator into the sky above your head and let it explode. That will grab the crowds attention. Then you speak to the crowd, use the voice of wisdom and some Force understrings. Then as you're the leadership guy, take the initiative and try and get some organization to the group. That help?

Setting off a thermal detonator? Sure, it'll get the crowd's attention, but they'll also think that they are under attack and start panicking. Bad idea and exactly what Jovan is trying to prevent! He has their attention, he just needs to get the words flowing.

You can do it, Jovan. You know the crowd needs some discipline and you know who the leaders are.

Leadership is not a good skill to use on individuals really, Jovan. Let Vera handle them.

-

You are curtting a tree as your first action, Denz- is Kiuu doing the same?

No idea, think he was going to attack them once I had their attention.

Uhh, yeah. The Thermal Detonator bit wasn't serious.

Ah okay. Hard to catch that kind of stuff over the net.

I think you need to consider if it is advantageous to have you both cut down trees. You could block off their routes onwards and backwards so that they can't get away. But Kiu could also attack while you distract the droids by dropping a tree on them, element of surprise and all.
