The Taris Event Chapter 1

[Gandolfini]

Arillius may missa make a back door?
[Each round roll your normal damage as if you hit. The wall has 150 hit points have fun.]

Wailer ignites his lightsaber and begins to carve a hole in the (tough) back wall.

Round 1: 5,7+2 = 14
Round 2: 8,2+2 = 12 = 26
Round 3: 8,8+2 = 18 = 44
Round 4: 3,4+2 = 9 = 53
Round 5: 5,4,+2 = 11 = 64

Round 7: 7,1,+2 = 10 = 85
Round 8: 4,8,+2 = 14 = 99
Round 9: 1,7,+2 = 10 = 109
Round 10: 2,7,+2 = 11 = 120
Round 11: 6,2,+2 = 10 = 130
Round 12: 1,5,+2 = 8 = 138
Round 13: 7,6,+2 = 15 = 153

[Blackferne]

[That damage progress will continue on a per round basis unless you are interrupted or stop.]

[Happyclam]

Sorry. Forgot about the droid, though not like it would have mattered with this roll.

3 - 1 = 2

Solumnos moves over toward the door, "Friends, let us not be hasty...the one they seek is not here. There is no need to fight."

[Blackferne]

Happy's movement and comments will be STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD! Not your turn.

Currently we are in COMBAT MODE so please don't post out of initiative order unless it is to answer a question from another player or if you qualify for an attack of opportunity.

It is now ELI's turn.

[Furiel]

HP 31 (Threshold 13) FortD 13 RefD 17 WillD 14 Speed 6, att +5, Dex +4

Swift action - use melee defense to shift 1 attack into ref defense
Double Move action - move to 78,53 while speaking

Eli spreads his hands away from his body at about waist level with his palms up to signify he is weaponless and hiding nothing and walks outside

"Gentlebeings, there is no need for further violence. The one you seek is no longer here. Jounville left planet days ago and his current whereabouts are unknown to everyone within this compound. Now if you would please leave us peacefully there is no need for bloodshed when the person you have come to see is not here."

*corrected because I misread which person I was at first

[Arrican]

Hp 19 (Threshold 12) FortD 12 RefD 15 WillD 16 Speed 6, att +0, Dex +2

I'm with ugly here. If he was around I'd chip in some credits. He's not. If you classy gents let us know what the trouble with Mr. Blackferne may be it's possible we can help out.
We are so screwed.
Persuasion - 19+3 = 22

[Whiteness]

HP 18 (Threshold 11) FortD 11 RefD 16 WillD 14 Speed 6, atk +0, Dex +3


Syric cautiously makes his way closer to the door of the main room (85,57) [move] trying to get a better view of the situation. Deciding to follow Bulwark's lead, he draws his blaster pistol from his hip holster [move]
"I'm just here for the 10,000 credits he owes me, I don't want any trouble," Syric yells out the battered door, hoping that they buy the lie. [Simple Deception - standard]


Deception - Roll(1d20)+7: 11,+7 subTotal:18 + 5* = 23
*Simple Deception Check modifier

[Blackferne]

Sith Commando 3 does a short series of hand signals to Hortell who nods. Sith Commando 3 moves towards the church 12 squares to 52,51 blaster rifle up and pointing towards the church. [double Move Action, No standard Action, No Swift Action].

Sith Commando 3 shouts "Attention, Captain Hortell may be willing to spare your lives if there is an immediate and unconditional surrender. If you accept, exit the building immediately and lay any weapons you have down. Step forward 6 paces and lay face down on the ground."

[Bulwark]

Bulwark mutters to no one in particular, "well that ain't gonna happen."

[Dood]

HP 24 (Threshold 11) FortD 11 RefD 16 WillD 15 Speed 6, ATK+0, Dex +4

Dood looks at Aurillius, raises his eyebrows and whispers, "Well, Captain?" [DELAY until after Aurillius]

[Blackferne]

Sith Commando 1 moves to 50,49 E [Double move action, no standard action no swift action]

[Furiel]

Since I'm standing outside with my cheese hanging in the wind and a clear view of all opponents can a soon to be corpse get a further description of them and the area? Like how are they armed/armored? Other than the buildings which are on the map is there any debris, barrels or other small items that can be used as partial cover? Are the Sith taking advantage of them if there are?

Perception if needed - 5+7 = 12

The Sith Apprentices have single bladed crimson lightsabers extended downward. The are wearing black robes and have cloaks whipping in the wind. They are Zabraks who look remarkably similar. It wouldn't be a stretch in your mind for them to be siblings or maybe twins.

The commandos are all wearing body armor in the usual dark red, black slightly reflective setup they are known for.


They are all in a forward march position slightly crouched with blaster rifles raised as the approach like this:



The buildings as laid out on the map are correct. There aren't any sizable debris or objects not shown that could be used as cover. Their tactical movement does appear to be splitting mostly into 1 sith apprentice and 3 commandos to each side so if they need to they could use the building shapes to establish cover.

[Blackferne]

Move IMed from Reese:

HP 33 (Threshold 16) FortD 16 RefD 19 WillD 12 Speed 6, ATK+1, Dex +3

Double Move action - move to 78,51 while speaking

"You know what boys" looking towards the Sith and their drawn weapons still leaning on the doorway, "I would love nothing more than to work off this ringing between my ears". Klak reached up and rubs his missing horn with one hand while placing his other hand on his holstered weapon. " But all your shouting is making it hard to see which of the 16 of you to focus on. Why don't you just settle down for a minute."

Looking generally in the direction of the Sith, Kalk exclaimed "i'll tell ya what, I would love if Jounville walked out here. In fact if your yelling could bring him out I'd give you 50 credits right now, but the fact that we are trying to find him ourselves means he ain't here. So why not put those Jedi toys away before I loose my buzz and get upset.." Klak unlocked his holster but did not draw his rifle.

"I don't surrender unless the other side has more ale and prettier women, and I don't see any of that on your side"

[Happyclam]

I will delay my move for the moment until I see what is shaping up as far as our side.

[Blackferne]

HP 24 (Threshold 13) FortD 13 RefD 17 WillD 17 Speed 6, ATK+2, Dex +2

Deception 1d20+7 [15,7] = (22)

"A tree survives a hurrricane by swaying with the wind." Arillius says to himself outloud. He tosses his jacket at Wailer "Put this on, hide the saber, and don't say a word."

Arillius starts walking out the front door taking on a slight limp on his left leg, raising his blaster up by the barrel indicating he will not shoot it. With what would best approximate to a southern drawl "I'll tell you some jobs don't pay enough to die for and this is one of them. Forgive my crew here they are just trying to get on my good side. I'm Saul Avenes and this is my crew trying to recover a stolen luxury yacht. We picked up Syric back there who this Blackferne owes credits to. Let me tell you what, Captain Hortell was it? Let me tell you what. We are just doing a job, we don't need to get into a pissing contest. Tell you what let's just all stand down, and we'll walk. This job isn't paying us for this kind of grief. Am I right guys?"

Arillius moves to [78, 54] and tosses his weapon on the ground.

[Dood]

HP 24 (Threshold 11) FortD 11 RefD 16 WillD 15 Speed 6, ATK+0, Dex +4

*mutters*I was afraid you'd do something like that.

Dood takes his carbine out of the holster, glances warily at Wailer, and walks outside (79,53), tossing his carbine one the ground next to Aurillius' blaster.

To Aurillius: We couldn't find anything worth a ghurk's toenail inside, boss.

Dood folds his arms and looks around.

Alvis' junk, I hope you know what you're doing.

[Happyclam]

HP 15 (Threshold 14) Fortd 14 RefD 18 WillD 19 speed (dunno speed of chair) Attk +0 Dex -3


Solumnos slowly comes floating out through the door in his hovering chair, "I am Solumnos of the Columi delegation from Coruscant and I can verify the veracity of the human's statements. They are recovering the stolen yacht of Ambassador Geophan when it was stolen several weeks ago and we tracked it to here.", gesturing toward the ruined church behind.

Deception 1 + 2 = 3 (Apparently he sucks as bad as Han.)

That's what he would have meant to say, but he was so nervous about the guns and the violence that instead what came out was, "Hi! Um...err...well, these are my associates...", glancing at Arillious nervously, "And yeah...we're um...looking for a yacht...a stolen yacht....that um...got stolen....", blinking his large eyes solemnly, "I'm fine thanks....How are you?"

Z2-KP follows his master out, trying not to look suspicious as he looks out over the armed opponents, managing to look pained at his master's attempts at subterfuge, drily adding, "Good work, sir...I think they actually might have been amused at your attempt at humor."

[Blackferne]

Bulwark opted to delay via PM. I will go through the NPC block when I get to work.

[Blackferne]

Sith Commando 2- Double moves to [61,48] Weapon still drawn
Sith Commando 4- Double moves to [58,57] Weapon still drawn
Hortell(Sith Apprentice 2)- Double Moves to [56,58]. Retracts his lightsaber blade [Swift action]
"Hahaha. I'm not sure why you recruited the cripple in the chair, but something isn't right with him. Saul, I can call you Saul? Saul you seem like a man who knows when he's been beat. My men are jumpy, they don't like surprises. So I'm going to ask that all your men, including the human aiming from the window come outside and disarm. Allow us to complete our search, and then we'll let you go. In fact I'll do one better, if Jounville Blackferne isn't here like you claim, I'll double what your current job pays to find him for me. The Sith Empire has a rather reputable track record for bounty hunters like yourself."


Sith Commando 5- Double moves to [56,59] Weapon still drawn
Sith Commando 6- Double moves to [59,56] Weapon still drawn

[Whiteness]

HP 18 (Threshold 11) FortD 11 RefD 16 WillD 14 Speed 6, atk +0, Dex +3

Syric flips his pistol in his hand so he is holding it by the barrel [swift] and walks out to stand a few paces behind Arilius and the Bothan [move - 81,55]. "I think you're speaking my language, double profit is better than a shallow grave on Lok" Syric says as he drops his blaster pistol to the ground in front of him.[swift]

[Arrican]

Hp 19 (Threshold 12) FortD 12 RefD 15 WillD 16 Speed 6, att +0, Dex +2
