Friends and Nemeses

AA or BA's turn. About six worms left.

Monty skins a serrated knife, grabs a worm by one hand and stabs it with the other hand (3 damage). The worm still fights back. Monty; A-Squad; Melee Knife: 1 Success, 0 Advantage http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/ability/a-s.png http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/proficiency/p-s-a.png http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/boos...

Despite being overrun by sand worms, Monte receives no physical damage. However, his blaster pistol is knocked two into the sand. Three advantages, disarm. Sand Worms; A-Squad; Brawl Attack: 0 Success, 3 Advantages http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/proficiency/p-a-a.png http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/proficiency...

AA takes 6 damage before soak as one of the worms persists against her. Another lunges at BA, but misses. Yet, by missing BA, it lunges into Monty's territory (Advs spent). Sand Worms; A-Squad; Brawl Attack: 1 Success, 1 Advantage http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/ability/a-s-a.png http://nemeses.xyz/gaming...

Several of the large worms fall to the ground, some cut in half, some strewn into ribbons.

But being the non-intelligent animals they are, they persist.

Monty heeds Anjali's warning and draws a Blaster Pistol to reduce the difficulty of engaged range. He shoots all around, hitting several of the snake-like creatures. All that combat experience has paid off!!! Several (3) fall limply to the sand. Maneuver to draw weapon. Maneuver (+2 strain) to do Tr...

Worms have a thick hide (+1 defense).

The worms turn their attention to the large (tasty) Red Nikto! (Random rolls both came up BA). They swarm and lunge at him, but only a single worm penetrates his defenses (7 Damage b4 soak). BA beats some of them off with his fists and boots (Threats going to WT damage to them). Sand Worms; A-Squad;...

The sand worms are one of the many mutated creatures that have evolved on Kintan. Most surface creatures have been hunted to extinction, but these have managed to survive beneath the sand. A single one has been known to wrestle a grown Nikto to the ground. They are exceptionally vigilant, sensing fo...

The path to find a Kajain'sa Nikto tribe seems pretty clear, at first glance. Should've been, "Just over this way!" Which it is..... but some creatures beneath the sands have decided to intercede!!!

Sorry, week was crazy. I can narrate our approach, what checks? Looks like we're not a great Survivalist group, but we can get a boost for BA's familiarity and a boost for our scanner work from the ship giving us info on the terrain. BA has Survival as a skill, but without any ranks in it. Group SU...

What is the plan? Depart ship, secure it, walk..... any precautions or actions? Carrying much?

The Valley of Temples is a cluster of rock formations into which religious temples were carved out many millennia ago. A suitable cavern is found. One that opens into a large area in which scarcely little can be made of the carvings an architecture since it has been relatively exposed for such a lon...

Scanners indicate no movement around the valley of temples (1 succ). The scanners DO indicate some stationary, non-humanoid lifeforms amongst the ruins, half-dozen to a dozen (2 Advs). With the high temperatures of the day, it is normal for beings to remain still to avoid exhaustion.

Yes, scanners scan for whatever you tell them to scan for. Otherwise, they simply do passive warnings of ships or asteroids. AVG + Setback for scanning using Computers skill.

"Well, beyond the Fire Desert of Kinklath, we MAY be able to find both!! My people, the Red Nikto, dwell in that region. The Valley of Temples is an abandoned area not too far away. Probably wouldn't even need a transport. We COULD find assistance with by brethren, or not! I have to warn you, they ...

either way, it's been fun! I finally got to play a force user

Same here! Only one I ever played!! (Seriously!)
Keep going would be great. We'll see what happens!

@Doctor Who I think looking for some IC input from BA, given this is homeworld. Just to touch base, the A-Squad is brainstorming IC about their approach to things.

Hmmm..... Allies COULD include Nikto tribes, Republic allies, or even.....the Hutts.
