STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Council of Taneshla

"Because you won't win," Borm rasps.

"What makes you think that?"

"I don't think it," Borm says. "I know it. I never lose, so you won't win."

"You can't win every time..." Rianna hisses with frustration, attacking again.

So, here is your situation:

The lift is a very confined space and Borm is more powerful than you. As you come to attack him, he just enacts another Fling and hurls you into the door opposite him, pinning you there for another 8 damage (you are at 16).

If your friends outside are brought down by the prisoners, you will lose the duel by default. Rianna is a talented duellist but she cannot handle a Dark Jedi and many minions simultaneously.

Yeah, that's problematic...can Rianna maybe get away and clear some minions first?

Give me a pitch. You're currently pinned against a door inside the lift.

Well, there is that convenient hole in the bottom of the lift. Drop down, and then jump up/climb over the walkway above and start causing some chaos amongst the prisoners.

The dropping down part might be difficult...

And I'm out of Force points, of course.

Perhaps pushing off the wall and feinting with another attack, and jumping down before he attacks again?

The pushing off part is again part of the problem. He is keeping you stuck to the wall.

Ahh. Hrm.

Would maybe slashing at him with her lightsaber break his attention long enough to jump down?

He is on the other side of the lift, but the right idea...

Drop the lift? 😛

Or hit the controls to close the door...

Close with the controls...

Well, could use the controls to close the door, lower the lift, or just plain cause a distraction.

So I think we'll go with that. Either way, it should help...

So you are slashing the controls by you, then?

Yep.

Alright!

You snap your blade outward and swipe the controls in a shower of sparks. The door you were pinned to- there are two and Borm is standing at the other- opens and you fly out of the lift!

Borm advances across the lift...

Woohoo!

Rianna is going to flip down and run across the walk below, to where she can jump back up near where the prisoners are trapped.
