USH'S STAR WARS GAME- LIGHT SIDE INTERLUDE- 'Broken Lance'

Started by Brit26 pages

This was difficult for me to decide what I wanted.

12xp for two new Force powers- Mastery for Inner Calm and then Tranquility.

10xp to increasing Pilot by two levels, so now Jelena has a Pilot score of 3 and a pool of 7.

9xp to buy a Pilot schtick, Ruthless Hunter.

And 4xp to improve Fix-It to 2.

Vera's spending 4xp to buy Guns and 12xp to buy Reflection. Bank the 2xp remaining, though I'll get 2xp from Retro soon.

I put my extra missing point in Medicine.

Oh, yes, Jelena put that extra point on Savoir-Faire.

Jelena thinks that Wentar should ask Loj'oon to take a contract from Shareth's shipping service, to see if he can help us find out how the pirates get their food. Might be another way in...

With the reference, Jelena is locking herself in to become a pirate. Anyone else with me?

When Xeth hears about the mines of Vardor VIII, he grabs his things.

"Gallagher, I'm going to go check it out, see if anything can be discovered that will help us," Xeth says. "You and your... Padawan... stay put. I'll bring back lists, so we can see if anyone like our friend from Kirillia walked away from working at the mines recently and moved somewhere far away..."

Xeth gives Gallagher and D'an a strange look, then heads out.

Privately, Xeth is going to contact his Mentor.

"Master Geth," Xeth says. "You and I think along the same lines from time to time... how come I haven't gotten a Padawan yet? You trained ME after all."

Of course I'm two points shy of getting a new Force power...

Gallagher will bank his 4xp.

I shall put that missing point into Intimidation. I will then spend 4 xp into Intimidation to have it raised to 2.

Leaves me with 26 XP.

I will add both Cleave and Perfect Strike, in order to increase Vlad's mook killing power when using his lightsaber.

As for the suspect. If he tells us that he won't answer and we don't have any facts, we will inquire him about why he left the planet. Tell him that he shouldn't be a fool. The pirates might track him down if they find out that we have been to the same location as him, and if he complies and tells us the information we will give any protection he requires if he needs, as well as take care of the pirates by ourselves. He wouldn't have to live in fear of the pirates tracking him down if they think he snitched, nor would he have to worry about anyone suspecting what he did on Kirillia.

Indeed! Wentar will ask for Loj'oon to take the Contract.

Wentar is up for the undercover route if there's no other place for him, or he can work with Loj'oon on the shipping contract.

Would we need to obtain a cargo ship for that?

Using Persuasion does not mean you have to be wishy-washy.
You could go in and say something like, We have enough evidence to put you on trial for connections to piracy, and this and that, but we arn't really after you, we want to take down the whole operation. If you help us, we can help you. Help us bring down the organization and we'll help you out with the trial.

Using intimidation would be threatening to stab him or something,

Sorry for the Double but I figured out my XP Spending.
I'm going to spend 12 xp to get Presence and Leadership

Yes, though saying you have enough evidence to go to trial would be Lying.

(Also a viable option if anyone has it. Obviously, more a Dark Side thing).

Btw, if you have powers like Presence that improve your social rolls, do remind me! Very handy in such scenarios.

I would say the food supply thing should be taken up, they need food obviously so we can go and get to them with their stomachs...

Vera is with Vlad and she has lying and Presence. Go Vera-Kin Go!

Your buddy can use his own ship oin a supply run. Is anyone going to go with him?

Vera, unfortunately, is not a Jedi, so she cannot make the point about evidence to arrest him. She is very influential at this sort of thing, though, now she has Reputation.

Of course, Vera... you could ask the Council to put you on the case. Officially.

with 16XP I would like:

12 XP go to:
Dodge and Weave, I feel the running to enemies last campaign costed me a lot of HP.

I just have 2XP too little to increase medicine, so I'll spend it on Savoir-Faire, the other Jedi commented it seemed usefull.
It goes from 1 to 2.
2*2 = 4

12 XP + 4 XP = 16 XP

That is IF I'm allowed the dodge and weave (lightsabre pool thingy has to be permitted). If it's rejected, I'm rethinking it all over (increase medicin or something).

If it helps, Vera, I have a merit "famous master" who might help you with it.

When do merits get restored?

Wentar will volunteer to go with him, though I think someone with good observation should go too. Denzral would be good for that.

Edit: Jovan I think ya might want another blade schtick instead of a combat one.

Jovan- Dodge and Weave is a combat schtick, so three things- first, they only work with Combat, NOT Lightsabre, second they cost 9, not 12, and last... the Combat schticks are awaiting an update (Sunday I hope...) so we are holding off on upping them right now.

The only Merits that gets restores is Lucky.

urgh, indeed, too many tabs open and missed out.

I'm going to wait till everything is updated.
So once a merit is used it will never be restored?

It's only the Combat Schticks (and a couple of Gun additions) that need updating. Anything else, please do now or it is liable to be missed.

(A comment for everyone, that)

-

Err, no, Merits do not get 'used'. They just are.

Btw, on a kind of 'one thing at a time' rule, we are committed to it just being Vera and Vlad who went to see the suspect.
