OOC: "The Captain's Business"

[DeepSpacer]

BTW... @Doctor Who
Grappling....

Ensnare (causing immobilization) is supposed to last as long as the rating which would be min 1).
The "Pin" talent is Athletics vs Athletics. Ensnare means a Hard Athletics check to escape, which I think makes it easier than Pin, which is a higher level of Ensnare. Makes sense.

BA will have to make another Brawl check to keep the hold, or make a new one if he makes his roll to escape. Also, as +1 Setback die for Defense granted by his armor. It does apply. I missed it last time.

{{EDIT}}
Greckel breaks free. Ideas for the 1 Threat?

@Flamiel Anjali's turn. (No boosts or setbacks to consider.)

[Doctor Who]

So his grapple is not against BA's Brawn or Brawl skill at all?

[Flamiel]

For the misdirect, I'd say let the dice decide. If you look at the Seek basic power, it gives an idea for seeing through illusions that could probably be adapted here: Vigilance vs AAA's Discipline. On success, misdirect has no effect. On fail, it works, and then maybe add 1 setback to Dressellian's next check, plus 1 per failure/threat on that roll. Since he's holding it, he knows it's there. The dice will decide how much it actually affects him.

Next turn up!

Yes, I saw some forum debates on Seek/Sense vs Misdirect. The dice (including Monty's roll) played it out nicely.

The Ensnare quality that causes immobilize says, Hard Athletics check". Brawl only has Disorient and Knockdown per RAW. Adding Ensnare made sense.

[Doctor Who]

Ah, ok. Just feels weird that no matter what the strength of your opponent it's the same check.

[DeepSpacer]

Uncharted territory, it seems. Ensnare, perhaps, is just referring to the weapon quality (i.e. going against a net or lasso) but it seems that some creatures with tentacle would have the ability. I'll have to look at it later. Seems like an Opposed check can work, too. Maybe that's why Brawl only indicates Knockdown and Disorient? Will have to find some SW FFG creatures that can hold people and see how they do it.

[DeepSpacer]

Top of the next round. A PC goes. Does not necessarily have to be the same ones, but it seems that BA and Monty have good combat. AA & AAA may be able to do something (Mage Hand....(D&D)....or Force Move the goon's weapon away). He can't see it until the beginning of Anjali's Alamy's next turn, which may be good to be last again.

[SavageBob]

Actually, AAA's turn is when he'll sense it again! I was going to have her run over and kick the gun away, but you're right; might be best to have her go last and do that.

[Doctor Who]

Do you all want BA to go first again?

[SavageBob]

Works for me. AAA should go last unless something happens with the imperceptible gun.

[DeepSpacer]

Do you all want BA to go first again?

Looks to be the case. BA can probably do the most.

[Doctor Who]

So the Dressillian doesn't have his weapon anymore, correct? And the Lannik can't see his?

[DeepSpacer]

No. Dressillian dropped his weapon AND cannot see it until AAA'a turn. The Lannik used Scathing Tirade last round and has blaster pistol drawn.

[Doctor Who]

If BA jumps onto Greckel to punch him again, is there any cover between there and someone with a gun?

[DeepSpacer]

No cover there. (The two armed bad guys have pistols. BA has a high soak. Not life-threatening, if you're worried about being hit again. )

[Doctor Who]

Any boost or setbacks before I roll?

[DeepSpacer]

Any boost or setbacks before I roll?

Red-Purple-Black. I didn't catch before that Defense from Armor applies to brawl checks.
BA has a Boost coming and has an additional Setback from the Scathing Tirade.


{EDIT} Seeing that you rolled IC. You can either reroll it ALL, OR replace the (left-most) Purple with a Red and roll the two Setback dice and Boost.

Sorry, phone not letting me login to site. Posted Tech question in forum. Not having access during the day at work.

[Doctor Who]

I'll reroll the whole thing I guess.

What's the upgrade for, if I can ask?

Spoiler:

BA; Alpha Squad; once more with feeling:
2 Successes, 3 Advantages

With those three advantages I'll give a boost to the next person and recover one strain.

I edited my IC post.

[SavageBob]

I think he has the Adversary talent, which upgrades all attacks against him.

[Doctor Who]

Oh, deep, forgot about that.

[DeepSpacer]

Combat Update:
(Note) Likely Anjali going so that the Dressillian cannot see his weapon until after AAA begins her turn.

All PC's have a Setback die to their actions for 2 Rounds. BA has Three to next action.

Lannik is Red-Purple (ranged) ---- Adv 1, Bodyguard Talent
Dressillian is Red (ranged) ----Adv 1
Greckel is Red-Purple-Black (ranged) ---- (engaged, Adv 1, armor)
............Red-Purple-Black (Melee) ---- (Adv 1, armor)

[Doctor Who]

This combat has gone on way too long. One more solid hit will take BA into more wounds than he has health.

[Flamiel]

Alright, flipping a DP to upgrade my ranged agility check. Shooting at the Lannik.
