STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Great Competition

"You want ME to fight?" Trax asks. "I don't think so."

"FINE, where is Xorn than?" Xavier asks a bit angry that Trax will ask him for a ship but won't help him get it.

You aren't sure that Trax has much melee capability. He isn't even very good with a gun.

Xorn is nearby; he has been observing other fights, preferring to spectate instead of get his robes dirty.

Xavier takes a moment to remember his friend isn't the best fighter before going voer to Xorn.

"You and me are going to team up and fight," Xavier tells Xorn.

He can hold his own, not excel.

"Are we?" Xorn says. "Can you guarantee that you aren't going to fall over if someone nudges you?"

"We need credits and I'm forged of tougher stuff than that so unless you have a better idea for getting them from here we are gonna have to fight," Xavier pauses for another emphasis "Unless you want to do it by yourself?"

"Fat chance of that," Xorn says. "Fine, I'll join you. If you're up to it."

So you are looking for a match in Teams then?

Yeah that sounds good to me 😄

In that case, the official for this competition wants to know... Armor or No Armor?

No armor for now, Xavier doesn't really do well against armored opponents without his lightsabers.

With a lower pool, probably the better option.

Xorn is going to take a point of armor, putting on some light stuff like gauntlets and grieves for mild protection. He's a little more nimble and flippy than you are, as you learned in your first encounters with him.

Your first opponents are going to be a pair of bald monks in red robes wielding flaming swords. The fire just looks like a stunt, to you, but they have the look of killers.

Xavier doesn't like the look of the swords, and he definitely isn't going to go charging in.

He's hoping Xorn will blast at them with his guns before they get close.

Also Xavier is going to have D&W, MA, and FE

Kinda difficult for Xorn to whip out his pistols in a melee fight! You'd be disqualified.

Xorn is happy to take suggestions on tactics.

Dang forgot about that.

"Well considering you are the least injured I think you should take point and engage first, then I'll help you fight whichever one you engage. If you stay defensive just enough I don't think the other one will do much damage to you before we both put the one down."

"Use me as bait?" Xorn says. "GREAT plan, big guy. I don't quite have the slugging power behind my punches, you know."

"Fine just watch my back and stay close to me." Xavier says as he moves forward to engage one of the two fighters.

He will launch a kick into his abdomen trying to wind him.

Just to set the stage before we start kicking people:

----

TEAM MELEE (Round 1), Start of Turn 1

Arena of Muddy Death

Xavier (C9): 2(1A)/33 [MA FT DW] [SF AS FB] (5F)

Xorn (C8): 3(1A)/0 [MA FA DU] (7F)

Thoros (C8): 3/0 [PA DU]

Melis (C10): 3/0 [AS DW]

Is there a lot of mud around Rexx if so Xavier will put the tip of his foot into the ground and kick the mudd into Melis' face followed up with another rotating kick into his stomach.

I can give a little bonus for originality, there; you roll a 6 on your Dexterity roll, for an extra die (on top of the +2 you get from Melis using Assault). You kick mud into Melis' face, who flinches, giving you ample opportunity to plant your kick in his chest. You roll two successes on your attack, but plenty of 1s, triggering a Feint. You roll three 6s there.

That first kick wasn't your real attack, it seems, but the second kick that you connect with his jaw when you spring forward and off the ground.

Melis takes 6 damage.

His response is a wild series of hacking motions in your general direction. He rolls two successes, for 4 damage.

Xorn keeps his attack simple, sidestepping an opening swipe from Thoros and landing a targeted chop to his upper arm to hamper him. He delivers 5 damage.

Thoros returns the hit in kind, smacking Xorn's forearm with the flat of his sword. The monk put some weight behind the blow with Power Attack, putting in 6 damage to Xorn.
