STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Broken

Rianna gives her comlink a frustrated look before putting it away and trying to figure out something to do with those newspapers before everyone turns on Vera-Kin.

Is scattering them with a Force Push possible?

As ever, depends on your roll! And it will only delay the papers getting inside.

"I am Jedi Master Vera-Kin," she introduces herself, her gaze at Dalt unflinching, relying on her Wookiee companion to act if any of the other miners give her trouble. "I'm hoping that should suffice for why I will be heard out. Is it not?"

Even if he starts to protest, Vera-Kin will cut him off and keep talking.

"I have need of your help, Dalt. I am trying to stop a trio of criminals that are on Ord Coridari. Word has it that they approached you. I was hoping you'd like to volunteer some information about that."

Hmmm. Anything up there Rianna can use to cause some sort of distraction?

And is she precise enough to use Saber Throw to kill a paper that they're holding?

That would need a very precise roll, and there is high risk of absolutely murdering the miner that is holding the papers.

There are empty crates on the roof.

"Who said I had anything to do with that?" Dalt says. "Why don't you just let me get back to my card game, hmm? Go find someone who cares."

Yeah, that's what I figured...

Well, I'm thinking that Rianna's going to use the crates to make a noisy distraction, and then jump down and destroy the papers while the miners are confused. Hopefully she'll be able to get out of there before they really figure out wtf just happened 😛

How are you making the distraction?

How are you destroying the papers?

How are you getting out of there?

Distraction - using the crates. Toss them down using the Force, preferably not hitting anyone.

Destruction - lightsaber. Slashy slashy.

Escape - run and use Intrusion to hide.

The problem with slashing the papers is that they are being held. You run the risk of killing the miner holding them so long as he has them. Also, a single lightsaber slash does not tend to set things aflame, albeit paper is highly flammable.

Well, they can be destroyed without being burned!

How about using the Force to pull them out of the miner's hands first?

That can be done. Only one success needed for that.

Awesome.

Hell, if Rianna can do that without leaving the roof...that'd be the most preferable 😛

(Maybe something less violent could be done, Lana? I know you'd probably rather stab them all to death, but it still seems kinda violent. 😛 )

"I have my sources and I believe them to be accurate," Vera-Kin says. "How about you help me or I have my Wookiee friend check you for illicit blasters? I know you've been busted on that charge before, Dalt, and I'm sure my good friend General Hirget would be interested in what I find."

(I'm trying to avoid killing them, thanks! 😛)

Vera-Kin does have a point. Rianna is forcefully taking the papers and slashing them apart with a weapon before running off. Nobody is harmed but it isn't great for Jedi-miner relations.

You wouldn't be able to Pull the entire stack to the roof- it is heavier than something you could casually pick up. It would get the stack (which is bound) away from the miner but not to you.

-

"Got a warrant?" Dalt asks.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what to do about this and am putting out every idea that comes to mind that isn't simply "kill them". So yeah. Because she's certainly not going to be able to talk them into giving them up and leaving.

Couldn't hurt to try bluffing! I know Rianna lacks the skills for it but maybe you could resort to steal-chop-run if you didn't pull it off? It's not like they're going to be like 'OMG WHO ARE YOU.'

Yeah, it's possible, but I don't even know how to approach trying that 😛

Do you want to give it any consideration or shall we press forward with what Vera has dubbed the Steal-Chop-Run?

"Who needs a warrant when I have a Wookiee?" Vera-Kin asks, smirking.
