Master Raskae ignites his lightsaber only a second before your own, the green blade shining through the darkness and illuminating his stern expression.
From the side of the room left of where you came in, there is a soft crack! as something is fired at Raskae. The Jedi Master attempts a Dodge, raising his Defense to 18, but his attacker rolls a 12 and puts a Fortune point into his shot.
Raskae cries out as a dark needle strikes his shoulder.

In the dim glow of your lightsabers, you think you can see your opponent, a black silhouette in the darkness. He also seems to be wearing infrared goggles, so his 'eyes' shine orange.
You can definitely sense his surprise and fear.
Simple. You attack with a nominated skill- likely your Lightsaber- and I roll a d20 to determine the effectiveness of your attack. The equation is 'Skill + Roll - Difficulty = Result.' The Difficulty, in this case, is your opponent's defense. The Result must be 10 or above; Outcome is determined by subtracting 10 from your Result and is added on to the damage you inflict.
Well, maybe not so simple.
Actions are also determined by frames. Currently, you are on frame 3. Raskae and the Thief are both on frame 5. The lower number always goes first.
I will send you links to relevant rules threads...
Also, almost forgot. This is what all the numbers mean...
Con: A(A1)/B/C
A = Force Pool! How many points you have to spend on Force powers in combat.
A1 = Bonus Force pool from your Blade Trick Force Warrior, for use with Force Attacks (Combat Push, Bash, Lightning, etc.)
B = Damage you've taken.
C = Your frames.
Con, you thrust a hand forward to Bash the Thief's goggles...
You have a Force Attack rating of 12, and you roll a 10. Subtracting the Thief's passive defense of 14 gives you an end result of 8... close, but not close enough!
Raskae takes a moment to compose himself, activating Sidestep to increase his Strength and endure incoming blaster fire.
The Thief has in his hands a pair of sleek pistols. He squeezes off two shots at Master Raskae, rolling 13 and 17 on his attack. Raskae performs an active dodge, fending off the shots with his lightsaber, but takes hits for 2 and 6 damage respectively.

The Jedi are acting ahead of this wily thief...
Con leaps into action! You Charge across the room and into close quarters with the Thief, slashing at him with your lightsaber as you come. You roll a 20! You rather viciously cut him across his arm for 27 damage, causing him to recoil in severe pain...
Raskae advances, intending to join you.

You are actually still acting ahead of the Thief!
You roll a 12... success!
Before the Thief can turn his blasters on you, he feels your Grip wrap around his throat and constrict his breathing. He reaches towards his throat.
"Jedi..." he chokes out. "Here?"
Raskae steps forwards to join you, his lightsaber still lit. He cringes as the poison from the dart weapon begins to have an effect on him, putting 10 damage on him.
