Friends and Nemeses

@ShadoWarrior are you going to take your turn?

I’m going last because I need to retrieve my weapon before I do anything towards the creature.

Sorry, I didn't know it was my turn. Getting a post out now.

EDIT: please let me know what you're doing with the 2 threats I rolled.

I have not posted yet so that you could handle the threats. I don’t think it will effect my actions, but I figured it would be best to wait just in case. @Doctor Who

Thanks, I'll get a post up tomorrow. Been busy.

3 setbacks for the next person to go. Which I believe is Varc. Enemies can't just make them carry over, right, they have to go to the next person up, or is it just the next person to roll?

Arca, you're going to take some strain with those drawbacks.

It says, "Add setback to character's next check". I'm afraid those setbacks 'stick' with that character a while, if I am reading that correctly. Also, one advantage cannot pass a setback die. Two setbacks pass a setback die. I hadn't checked any math with that, I just saw 5 Adv's and was trying to figure on where the three setbacks come from.

Update Whose Turn Is It when you can, please. .....if we live that long.....

Oh, sorry, yeah, 2 setbacks. Not three.

Oh, @crazybirdman I think I got duelist wrong. I'll remove that last setback die.

No problem, I just wanna make sure we dies fair and square :p

I’ll hold those setbacks for when I go next round. Seeing as I didn’t roll anything.

The creature attempts to drag Zyla with it.
monster; TotOR; drag attempt:
5 Successes, 1 Threat
It successfully manages to start dragging Zyla, but the attempt opens a momentary weakness in its defense.

Whoever is going at the top of the round, except for Zyla, gets to upgrade their attack against the creature.

"Upgrade their attack"? Positive or negative dice? For a summary, what is the pool to roll against? Red-Purple-Blk-Blk?

Does Trixie get a sense of whether Suppress had a worthwhile effect on it? Does she have reason to think Suppress is better/worse/indifferent to a Lightsaber attack? I am leaning towards just attacking it since it has been harmed several times already.

I think the setbacks are stuck on Varc.

Yes, red purple black black, and your attack will be upgraded.


Suppress is giving it those two blacks on its attacks. She thinks they were a bit helpful, but they don't seem to be slowing down its ability to drag Zyla.

Does Zyla take any negative effects from being dragged?

no, she still has a free arm, and there weren't enough disadvantages on that last check to do anything meaningful.

Effective after tonight you'll need to run Arca as an NPC for an indefinite (but hopefully short) period of time. Please see here for why.

Link doesn't work for me, but I hope all is well

Hope the move goes well!

@crazybirdman
Worthless boost dice!!
Damn setback dice!!
That was potentially the telling blow.

So it is up to Arca? Can the three Adv's from Zyla make two boosts for Arca? Or 'negate and enemy's defensive bonus'? Is that ALL the bonus?
I can roll for him since Shadow is away.

That was from last round. Just remember I’m gonna have 2 setback for my roll. Is it down to me and Arca?

Yes. This round, two have went (Zyla, Trixie). One PC goes before the beast goes once. If you can go, then go. I'd MUCH rather a 'live' player make the move than roll of an absent player. Besides, Arca is YGG, only. (And, USE A DESTINY POINT!!!)

So it’s RP then? No setbacks?

It DOES say, "Negate the enemies defensive bonuses..." (plural) in my F&D CRB and gives examples of several different kinds that may qualify. [I learned something NEW today!!] But you'll have to get the okay from the GM on that @Doctor Who .

No, sorry meant Red Purple not actual RP haha. Though I could try it if the boss agrees.
