STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Great Competition

"Suit yourself..."

They punch you in as NO ARMOR on the tracking board, on which there are only a few names. Apparently Terminator is not very popular to compete in.

You are now being led into the Terminator arena by another uniformed official. Once you step into the muddy area, the official leaves.

In front of you are a series of gates and trap doors. From them emerge ten men, armed with various implements.

"Kill them all before they kill you," the official says, locking the gate behind you.

"Thank you for the advice," Xavier retorts with a hint of sarcasm.

Well this should be fun. Perhaps we can ask to kill themselves

"Oh be quiet I thought you like d a good fight." Xavier harshly conveys to his darker half.

Yeah but I'm not suicidal either

"JUST SHUT UP!"

With this Xavier will go for the closest kill he can.

Rexx are any of them wearing armor?

If not Xavier's load will be DW, MA, FE

If half of them are wearing armor it will be DW, FE, SF

None of them are armored. And none of them seem real excited about the fact that you are talking to yourself. They seem kind of scrawny, these opponents. They don't have the look of killers.

The official takes his place on a observation post just outside the wooden fences, in front of the gathered audience. He draws a pistol and fires one shot into the air to mark the beginning of the round!

You are two turns away.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 1

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C9): 2(1A)/0 [MA FE DW] [SF AS FB] (5F)

Gladiators x10 (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

Xavier will advance forward hoping one them gets in range for him to attack if he can.

Initiative goes to you, so you advance! The gladiators stay firmly the hell away from you, bracing for your approach instead.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 2

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C9): 2(1A)/0 [MA FE DW] [SF AS FB] (5F)

Gladiators x10 (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

Xavier stops, and looks them over and tries to Intimdation to get one them to charge him.

"IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU ARE GONNA FIGHT! Like COWARDS."

If none them approach Xavier will move forward and bash one of their teeth in.

Initiative is yours, Xavier, so you charge forward and deck a 'gladiator' full in the face, knocking loose some teeth and putting him flat on his back.

The others close in around you, prodding at you with their various weapons. Within moments, you are bloodied by nearly a dozen cuts as you are jabbed with spears and raked with crooked knives.

You take 20 damage.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 3

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C9): 2(1A)/20 [MA FE DW] [SF AS FB] (5F)

Gladiators x10 (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

That's a lot more damage then I would expect from mooks 😛

Xavier is not pleased with this and taps FE and MA this turn to take one of them down.

All nine of them hit you.

Initiative stays with you, and you gain ten successes with your taps.

Xavier excessively overkills one of the foes set against him, performing some excruciating nerve strike that Master Cabas taught you long ago that incapacitates your target, who dies screaming.

Those remaining continuing jabbing and scratching at you with their poorly-made melee weapons, for 17 damage between the eight of them.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 4

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C9): 2(1A)/37 [MA FE DW] [SF AS FB] (5F)

Gladiators x8 (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

Swap MA for SF,

attack another Gladiator.

Initiative goes against you now as the "gladiators" frantically stab at you, leaving you completely surrounded. This time they roll like garbage, still for 9 damage.

You just barely get the three successes needed to deck a gladiator, trading your refined Jedi martial arts for a straight punch to the jaw.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 5

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C7): 2(1A)/46 [SF FE DW] [AS FB MA] (5F)

Gladiators x7 (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

Xavier will trade in FB for FE.

Launch another attack this turn at the Gladiators.

3-1, initiative is yours!

Sadly, one success is not enough to down anyone. The gladiator you sock takes a minor hit. He retaliates with two successes, the highest roll among the baddies this time; you take 13 damage total as the stabbing continues.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 6

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C7): 2(1A)/59 [SF FB DW] [AS FE MA] (5F)

Gladiators x7* (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

Tap Dodge and Weave this turn

Attack the injured Gladiator

3-2 means that Xavier plants another punch on the reeling gladiator... but again, he only shows a single success, meaning your target still isn't down.

The good news is that your Dodge & Weave tap means no damage comes in this turn.

-----

TERMINATOR (Round 1), Start of Turn 7

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C7): 2(1A)/59 [SF FB DW] [AS FE MA] (5F)

Gladiators x7** (C5) (melee weapons)

-----

Swap out DW for AS and lay waste to the guy

Did you want to tap Street Fighting to get a reflexive attack on a second target (assuming you finally kill this one)?

Yeah sounds good to me 😛

1-6. Uh oh.

Xavier can have his retaliatory strike on the injured gladiator, suddenly bowling through him a reckless attack. But shortly after, Xavier is unceremoniously tripped by one of the gladiators. You go down hard and something sharp goes in your side! Another metal point jabs into your arm...

They are going to murder you, Xavier.

How does Xavier manage to get himself into these situations, fing terminator.

MY TURN!!!!! the darker half of Xavier takes over, unleashing his twin lightsabers he begins to cut down as many of the gladiators as possible.
