STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Broken

Vera-Kin needs to catch up with the miner, so she will spend a Force point on Dash to race after him and get some distance between her and the Dark Jedi, trying to put things in the park between her and him (like trees).

You can do one or the other while moving, Vera- get closer to the Miner with Dash or get more cover from the Dark Jedi as you give chase. Both require an Agility roll.

I will try to get closer to the miner with Dash, then. He is more important right now than me not getting shot up.

You may want to think about how you want to approach your investigation into the crowd at the Stain. Akro would not appreciate you going in there and starting problems because you didn't plan out how you were going to handle things.

Vera-Kin rolls three successes as she taps into the Force to quicken her pace. She races along the hedgerow as the Dark Jedi keeps shooting, but as he has not given chase himself, he loses a die due to distance. His first volley scores five damage on Vera-Kin, putting her up to 13. The second misses through the hedgerow.

The miner is running frantically in the direction of Astrune's mansion, still a fair bit ahead of you.

Hmm. Well, I think the first thing to do is to simply try and observe when we get there. Rianna's not the best with reading people, but try and get an idea of the general feel, who seems to stand out more than the rest, etc.

Then from there, ask around a bit, see if anyone has any information on dissenters and who's been putting ideas in their ears.

What if something happens?

I have no idea.

Vera-Kin will try to use the Force to trip up the miner so that she continues to gain on him, while tapping Balanced Guard to protect herself from Arneth's laser-spraying. Swap it for Orthodox Guard.

To be a bit less of a smartass, it depends on what happens. If someone gets angry or offended, try and convince them that we're just trying to help. If someone decides to start a fight, try and end it without injuring anyone. I guess. 😛

It is something to think on, then. Miners who are on the verge of rioting are not going to take kindly to a Jedi snooping amongst them, you think.

Being a Jedi Master, Vera-Kin has a comparatively high pool for using the Force in this way. She gets three successes and causes the miner to trip up as he runs, meaning he does not move this turn.

Arneth loses a second die against the range of his shooting, and your Balanced Guard tap (which puts your Defense up to 4 and your Armor rating to 3) is just too much. He sprays aimlessly into the hedge.

No, probably not. I'm pondering the idea of not presenting ourselves as Jedi. Both Rianna and Vera-Kin have high Intrusion scores; I know that's normally used to sneak around and hide yourself, but would it be of any use for something like this?

Intrusion can be used to help you remain subtle, but it is more Savoir-Faire to blend in.

Which of course, Rianna being the sheltered person she is, she doesn't have.

Well, I think that when she gets there she'll just lay low and remain quiet and observe for a bit, and see what sort of feel she can get and see if anyone stands out as someone to speak to or avoid.

...or what you just mentioned. Sneaking around and spying on people. Rianna would like that idea.

How do you plan on doing that?

I'm not entirely sure and I'm thinking that doing that would work out better once we identify who's among the dissenters...

Vera-Kin will try to trip him up again so that she can close in.

It would be good for keeping tabs on your suspects once you get some, yes. But first you need suspects.

-

Vera-Kin keeps the miner from getting up once more so that she can catch up with him, but this time he rolls over and raises the pistol at her, firing back. His shots miss because he only rolls two dice.

And for that, unless Akro can identify anyone for us, will require us to go snooping around and asking questions.

Unless there are records of known troublemakers that we could look up, and use that as a starting point?

Not wanting to respond to the shooting by ending the miner, Vera-Kin will shut off her lightsaber and snap a hand outward to pull the pistol away from the miner.

"Stop what you're doing!" Vera-Kin says. "I can help you!"

Looking up previous offenders is an idea. You imagine General Hirget would help there, since Ord Coridari is under semi-martial law.

-

Five successes, Vera-Kin, and you no longer have to worry about being shot at (at least, not by the miner) as his pistol snaps into your hand.

"Stay away from me!" he shouts as he gets up to run again, moving toward the street.
