STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Teachings of the Shaman

Does my Superior Constitution play into any of that at all?

And Azarl could try to 'will' those rocks out of his way with the Force.

Not in this case. It would if you started to drown.

If you were to Will them out of your way, it would require an expenditure with Super Lift. These rocks are enormous.

How many points would it take? Maybe I could just roll some of the larger ones away rather than move everything.

It would be 2 points to move the rocks. It will be a large display of power on your part.

Azarl probably should hold on to those points. So he will try to swim around the rocks since he does not have Intrusion.

Can he sense anyone at the top of the cliffs?

Force roll says... with five successes, you definitely sense a presence at the top of the cliffs.

Into the ocean it is then.

Your decision made, you wade into the water. The boulders can shield you from the view of anyone up on the cliffs. The water is cold and dampens whatever clothing you're wearing (if the Vudans wear clothes).

You need to accumulate 20 successes, on Strength rolls alone, to get around the rocks.

Azarl starts off into the water, wading until it is too deep to wade and kicking off and swimming when he can.

You roll... a single success! Not very impressive. You start pushing out into the water gingerly when a wave pushes you back as it rolls up onto the beach.

You still feel uneasy about being in the water.

Can Azarl sense anything around him? If he has to stop and sense at the expense of moving he won't do that. Just keep swimming.

You get zero successes this time. You can't really say that you're a fantastic swimmer...

The unease increases.

Azarl just keeps swimming, trying to get some momentum and fight the water.

This time, three successes. You make some progress and push through the waves.

Something brushes against your leg in the water.

Azarl keeps swimming! Particularly frantic now because he does not want to be eaten.

Can you list my progress with your updates? I'm at 4 now but I have a feeling I might lose track with whatever is going to happen next.

Two succeses now, you tread water as quickly as you can muster.

That something brushes up against you again, and this time a stretch of slimy scales breaks the water's surface next to you. It is circling around you, whatever it is.

Azarl wants to get as far as he can before it tries to eat him. Keep swimming.

I'm at 6 now.

One success this time...

The water froths and from it emerges a huge mouth full of teeth. You don't get much of a look at the thing those teeth belong to before it tries to chomp you in half.

It doesn't quite get you, only rolling a single success. The monster slams into you for 5 damage (after reducing your Armor), dragging you underwater for a moment...

Azarl (C4): 1(1A)/5 [DW] (8F) - 7

??: 0

Ahh!

Azarl tries to keep swimming, if he can get away without getting bitten for fleeing.

If not, he tries to kick whatever this is in the face.

It has a base damage of 6?

It would get a reflexive attack on you for fleeing... so attacking it is the option you go with. You lash out with a foot and hit it for 2 damage.

It makes another pass to try devouring you, this time rolling 3 successes for 7 damage.

(Dodge & Weave does not function while you are in the water)
