OOC: To Dxun
Re: OOC: To Dxun
Hmm, maybe not an item per se, but perhaps she feels the twinge of being led toward a lightsaber crystal? If that's too much of a side track, then noticing a path forward, perhaps like an animal trail.
Re: OOC: To Dxun
I think Anjali will reach out her hand and use Force Move to bring the crystal to her.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Should be a problem. No issue with that. Narrate IC as you please. It is a light side crystal that feels good to the touch.

@Flamiel
If you would like, Anjali can make a LORE check, albeit a difficult one, to see what she knows about such a lightsaber crystal. Perhaps, I think, it is a given that she may know what it is and what it is used for. I think the check may be for type and variety (possibly meaning). It is unusual and rare (Rarity 9). It is something she has little or no experience in and there isn't context to study it within (+2 SB).
1 Challenge, 4 Diff, + 2 Setbacks (will spend DP for that red)
You could spend a LS point to radio into Caspo on the ship and send a video feed / photo for consultation (or not). You can use its 1 Rank of Lore on the check if you do. I don't think there is a way to 'send' that photo, but Star Wars is always changing with the times. A DP to do that. There are always risks to do that, as well.
Also, roll your 2 Force Dice as part of the check as sort of a Sense/Farsight. I can adjudicate that on the roll as the Force sees fit!!! I am open to other ideas, as well. BA and Monty aren't going to be much use on the roll, but +1 Boost die is okay for their help.
{{Looks like a 30-35% chance with all of the positive options taken, plus a Triumph chance. It is about 29% going on her own w/o Caspo.}}

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Yeah, she'll try the Lore check. I think she'll be tempted enough to radio Caspo about it, so we can flip a DP for that. Does that preclude her from also flipping a DP to use dark side pips that come up on the Force roll?

Yes, precluded. The darkside has no place in this cavern.
Re: OOC: To Dxun
Score!
Anjali; Alpha Squad; Lore check on crystal:
1 Success, 0 Advantage, 2 Light Side , 1 Dark Side

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Good roll!!! No threats to give away the communication to the enemy.
Perhaps one day the crystal can be put into a lightsaber for Anjali? Maybe a lightsaber pike? Perhaps she would sell or trade it?

Will wait for BA to chime in, just to get all the reactions lined up at the same time.

Sorry, been deep in Mass Effect 2.
BA would like to make a perception check.

NO 'check' needed. Her voice is from in front of you. You were third in marching order.
Or, rather, a check would not produce anything meaningful, but his effort will add to the narrative.
Allow me to progress....

Re: OOC: To Dxun
If you hadn't guessed, this is some sort of force-dream experience for each of us. A flashback??? A dream??? Please bear with as we go through each person, one by one. BA will be next.
Anjali's strength is her Righteousness and weakness is Cold-heartedness. This is a good tug-of-war between the two. Do as you please. Makes rolls as you see fit and narrate them. Take a boost for whatever you can reasonably justify.
Numa: (Upgrade all checks once for her one rank in the skill rolled against.)
Presence 3 - Hard Check for Charm, Influence, etc...
Willpower 2, Cunning 2 - AVG check for Coercion or Deception / Influence, etc....
I think this is a good character-building experience for Anjali. There is no right or wrong choice. Just about any choice 'fits' the character. This gives you opportunity to decide how she is currently approaching things.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Some use of Shea Rea could yield a boost die, if presented in an appropriate way. As could grabbing a big tough (BA) to go for coercion.

+1 Boost for the 2 Threats (she is vulnerable and open).Some use of Shea Rea could yield a boost die, if presented in an appropriate way. As could grabbing a big tough (BA) to go for coercion.
+1 Boost for saying you lived there, too.
+1 Boost for ushering to Shea Rea.
I know Anjali isn't a 'charmer', but I think a Charm check is appropriate. Plus, maybe a DP flip. (We're going to re-do them after this.)
Still, it can be out of your hands if she reacts badly, but at least AA is doing the right thing.
Re: OOC: To Dxun
LOL, well, she's working on improving her Charm and social skills. Does Force Influence Control: Skills upgrade apply here?

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Yep! Not 'upgrade', but rather white pips count as successes or advantages... just to be clear.
BTW, it fits AA's background that she isn't socially adept.
Re: OOC: To Dxun
Right, it's an "upgrade" in that Force power tree.
Charm check against Numa.

Good roll!!!! The boost dice made a difference. Shea Rea.
Re: OOC: To Dxun
Anjali gonna jump down there. Maybe try to mind trick the guy first. If that fails, kick is ass.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
I was wondering how she'd handle it. Do it for “her own good”? Be mean?
Deceive, “I’ll be right back. I promise.”? The mercenary route is no place for a child. Best she stay behind? As it turns out, the rolls went nicely.
We'll see how BA handles his experience and then pick up where AA and Monty meet.

Feel free to use the Force Enhance Control Resilience for the check. We'll assume the youth has been using it all along his journey. Feel free to narrate his approach to training, likes dislikes, anguish, memories, etc....

BA; Alpha Squad; Desert Heat:
1 Success, 2 Threats, 1 Despair, , 1 Dark Side
Taking strain or what not to use the Dark Side for an extra success.
EDIT: And now this desert stuff makes me want to ride a sandworm? Are those a thing in star wars? Time to go look into the EU and find out.
EDIT 2: BA has more eloquent speech in his native tongue, since he's not currently thinking in Basic like he does in the present.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Awesome!!! Going to steal Sai's little monologue.... "Heat does not touch me. Sand does not scar me. Wind does not crush me."
Good stuff!!
As you may have guessed, this is a sort of Dagobah Tree, in reverse. Dark Planet, Good Tree (Cavern). I looked up some NIkto stuff, and it does appear that they wear boots. BTW, this is the rock formation from the old Star Trek TV show where Kirk fought the reptilian guy and downed him with a 'gun' that had a bunch of gemstones and powder stuffed into a tube.
A failed Resilience check would've meant +1 difficulty from here-on-out. As it is, he just takes two strain. Sai may expect that trainees are monitored in some way during their training.
Sai's strength is Compassion. His weakness is Recklessness.
DP's
