Trixie finds the vulnerable spot on her opponent. Difficult to display better Lightsaber combat that what she has done!!!

77% Free attack!!!!

3 Successes, 2 Advantages, 1 Triumph,



9 MORE damage (probably take him out. 16D total)

Awaiting details on if I did before spending the advs and triumph.

[Doctor Who]

Even with their strange resistance to damage, the Trandoshan drops to the ground. Trixie cannot tell if he's still breathing.

Spoiler:

you have a triump and five advantages waiting to be spent

[Doctor Who]

the other Trandoshan, seeing how effortlessly Trixie appeared to kill his friend, takes off towards the elevator.

The Sullustan and the human are the only remaining enemies that the group knows of.

[Doctor Who]

The Sullustan growls out a command to the human in the shuttle, "Open the hangar and get our passenger out of here, Sete wants her alive!"

He wings his blade toward Zyla.

Spoiler:

Let me know modifiers you have or any reactive abilities and I'll get the attack rolled

[crazybirdman]

not much, 1 defense, 2 soak.
The rest, like parry and such, I need to see if the attack hits first.

[Doctor Who]

the Sullustan hurls themself at Zyla, swinging as true as they can.

Spoiler:

Sullustan; TotOR; attack!:
3 Successes, 1 Advantage

[crazybirdman]

Zyla, frustrated with her progress in defeating these opponents, parries the attack, diverting the Sullustan's blade and saving herself from the brunt of the damage "Not as easy as you thought, is it?" she quips.

Spoiler:

four ranks in Parry, so she's take 3 strain to avoid 6 damage

[Doctor Who]

The Hangar doors begin to slide open.

[ShadoWarrior]

Arca moves to engage the Sullustan that is engaged with Zyla, bravely hoping that he might distract the foe enough that Zyla can finish him off quickly.

Spoiler:

Arca Gavalun; Tales of the Old Republic; attack:
3 Successes, 1 Threat

[Doctor Who]

Arca's blade arcs downwards and slashes the Sullustan. While it does less damage than Arca expects, strangely, the Sullustan drops to the ground.

[crazybirdman]

Zyla, remembering what the Sullanstan said, rushes over to the controls to try and close the hanger bay doors.

[Doctor Who]

The doors grind to a halt.

[ShadoWarrior]

"That was ... unexpected. Welcome, but odd," Arca comments as he looks down at the body and checks it for life signs.

[DeepSpacer]

"Arca!! Use the controls for the mechanical arms to grab that shuttle. The hangar doors may yet reopen!"

Trixie rushes to the Shuttle and tries to enter to save Curvian. She'll try to negotiate for the end of this conflict.

"It is over," she yells. "You can come out now and we can end this with no further loss of life."

[Doctor Who]

The Sullustan is weakly breathing.

Curvian unconscious on the gurney. The human stands in the cockpit of the shuttle, lightsaber drawn but not moving to attack. "This future is inevitable. The Jedi were weak, they need to be cleansed. They can't protect the galaxy, surely you all can see that? Sete has offered us more, the chance to use the power we have to clean up the galaxy, destroy the chaff and the weeds."

[crazybirdman]

Zyla will head to the shuttle, and start searching it.

[Doctor Who]

Zyla sees the other human, holding a lightsaber and staring down Trixie.

[crazybirdman]

Zyla reaches out with the Force and looks to the immediate future to see if this person will listen Trixie, or continue to fight

Spoiler:

Zyla; Widening Gyre; Foresee:
, 2 Light Side , 1 Dark Side

[Doctor Who]

Zyla gets the sense that the combat is very likely this day (1 vague), but in this instance Trixie does have the power to talk this individual down, that is a possible future path that she can make out clearly (1 specific).

[DeepSpacer]

"This future is inevitable. The Jedi were weak, they need to be cleansed. They can't protect the galaxy, surely you all can see that? Sete has offered us more, the chance to use the power we have to clean up the galaxy, destroy the chaff and the weeds."

"But surely you can see that in order to harvest a field, one cuts down ALL the plants, both the wheat and the weeds. One cannot pull out the weeds without also uprooting the wheat!"

[Doctor Who]

Combat is over, since we're going into a bit of narrative discussion here. Good luck Deepspacer, haha

The man stares at Trixie, his piercing eyes flecked with a burnt yellow. "If we have to start everything over, so be it. It will be reborn without the chaff, what more could the future galaxy ask for? Peace, prosperity, eternal gratitude for our efforts."

Can trixie please give me a hard charm or coercion check, your choice, upgraded twice and with one setback. IDK if you have any boost dice to add.

[DeepSpacer]

"But one species' weed is another species' food, necessary to their survival!! What is it to YOU if the chaff go off to live by themselves? The galaxy is not YOURS to protect. The will of the galaxy is not with Sete. Isn't the galaxy big enough for all to live in harmony? We can live in the galaxy together. You may go. Just leave us our Master." (3 Succ)

Spoiler:

Trixie is playing towards her weakness (May let evil persist because it is too difficult to deal with) rather than end this 'evil' where it stands. This may not be what the others would (or will) do, but it is her approach. On her strength (compassion), she wants to save her Master.

[Doctor Who]

He looks strangely at Trixie, and Zyla behind her. "You are a strange padawan, and clearly cowardly. You are afraid to end me, even when you know I will be trying to end you." He lets out a laugh that seems to shake the entire interior of the shuttle. He reaches behind him to activate the shuttle's takeoff mechanism.

Trixie and Zyla both do not know if the shuttle's hull integrity will let it punch through the hangar doors overhead.

Trixie has a chance to react, then it will go back into initiative order starting with the first NPC turn

[DeepSpacer]

"Not so fast!!" Trixie leaps into action at the lurch of the ship moving. She strikes the foe, disarming him and striking a critical blow!!! (Possibly taking off his hand!!)
