OOC: Yes.  It would be a Knowledge(life sciences) check.

OOC 9+1=10

Jubali could barely recall that these creatures were mynocks, that they could survive in vacuum and that they fed on electrical power.

Jubali gasped as a wisp of a memory floated through her mind.

"Mynocks!  They're eating the power cables!  We need to get them off of the ship!"

Traest was able to get one shot off with the light laser cannon as the flock of mynocks headed towards the Eclipse.  It dropped half the mynocks, but the other half made it to the ship.

"Nice shot, Explorer Kas'lon," Ranger Cardosa complimented.

"Yes, but there are still mynocks to deal with," Master Tabret pointed out.  "Jubali, Dane and I have got to make contact with the Stellar Damsel and find out their status.  Do you think you and Traest can take care of those mynocks before they drain too much power?"

OOC: Oh, and I forgot,  you can level Jubali up to level 2.

"We'll do what we can," Jubali replied.

"So much for not wearing the breath masks anymore," Traest commented as he and Jubali geared up to head out into the asteroid.  As they descended the boarding ramp, the pair could feel the temperature drop and the weight lift from them as they left the artificial climate and gravity control of their ship.  "Well, I think they're all on the top," Traest pointed out.  "So I guess we climb up?"

"It's low gravity, we could try jumping."

"I think that will get us a good ways pretty fast, but the Eclipse is too tall to jump to the top of in one go," Traest pointed out.  "Even in low gravity.  But here goes nothing."  And with that, Traest took a leap that got him one meter up the side of the ship.  He climbed another four and a half meters, before beckoning down to Jubali.  "Bet I can beat you to the top," he challenged.

OOC 11+6=17

Jubali took a bit of a run then leapt.

Jubali was able to jump up one and a half meters.

OOC: You still have a move action this round, so go ahead and make a Climb check.  Also, if  you could make an Init check, just so that's ready to go when you do get to the top, I would appreciate it.

OOC Climb: 1+1=2
Init: 16+3=19

Traest let out a small "Wow!" and his eyes got big as Jubali made her initial jump.  But then he found himself stifling a laugh as she fell back down to the ground almost immediately.  She was close enough to the surface and the gravity was light enough that the fall hurt nothing but her pride.

"I told you I'd beat you to the top," he said.  Of course then he had trouble himself making any progress.  "Ugh, what am I doing?" he asked himself.  He then reached into his utility belt, pulled out a liquid cable dispenser with a grappling hook and threw it to the top of the ship.  With a clank, the hook caught purchase on some groove at the top.  "There, that ought to make it easier for both of us."

OOC: Make 2 Climb checks to climb up the cable.

OOC 2+1=3
15+1=16

Although it took a little getting used to, Jubali was able to climb up the cable and catch up to Traest.  The made the next part of the ascent easily together, pulling themselves up onto the top of the Eclipse.  "Now we just have to deal with the vermin," Traest said disgustedly.  You could see them not far off, and it looked like they were so occupied with feeding that you would probably be able to get an attack in before they reacted.

OOC: Okay Jubali goes first.

Jubali sneaked up behind one of the oblivious mynocks then ignited her lightsaber and attacked in swift succession.
OOC Do I have enough to perform a coup de grace?
19+5=24.

OOC: No, it's a full round action for a coup de grace and you just don't have that.  And the mynocks aren't helpless.  Unaware, but not helpless.  But you did hit, so go ahead and roll damage.

OOC 1+2=3  How can she hit an unaware target with a 19 but do 3 damage?

OOC: Oh, I could come up with a reason, like her foot falling into an unexpected maintenance access port on the roof of the starship.  But this is one other thing I like about Fantasy Flight's system.  They have a base damage for every weapon, and it's a number, not a number of dice, a number.  So for like a heavy blaster pistol, it's 8.  And then it is increased by your level/skill AND by your roll.  The more uncanceled successes you roll, the higher the damage.  But it never goes below 8.  So if you hit, you always do a respectable amount of damage.  Anyway, I explained that because sometimes I remember that I made a behind the scenes house rule, that you get more damage if you exceed their Def by more.  So no worries, you really did 3 + 1 = 4 (which I know isn't a whole lot more, you almost got +2 more).

Jubali's attack did little more than alert the mynocks to their danger, but Traest also got in a shot before the mynocks took to flight.  His shot dropped one of the mynocks, but the rest of them swarmed around Jubali, buffeting her with their wings.  But Jubali was strong, and their attacks ineffectual.

OOC: Jubali's turn.

OOC That...makes a lot more sense.  I mean, technically you could say this system has a base damage but it's 2 (1+1=2) so it's so low as to be silly.

Jubali swung her lightsaber hoping to connect with something.

OOC 1+5=6

But managed to somehow not even singe a wing.

The mynocks' wings in Jubali's face kept her from being able to connect a solid hit.

Traest fired again, but missed hitting any of the creatures.

Meanwhile, the creatures continued to bat at Jubali's head, managing to scratch her in the face.

OOC Even little creatures can hurt.

Jubali swung again.

OOC 3+5=8

But the flurry of wings made her attempts fruitless.

Traest fired again, dropping another mynock.  The mynocks seemed to think that Jubali was still the source of their trouble, as they continued to assail her.  Fortunately there were only two left and their attacks remained useless as well.

Jubali swung again.

OOC 2+5=7, thank goodness I'm getting all of these bad rolls out of the way.

But even with their significantly reduced number she still was too distracted.

Traest was able to fell one more of the vermin, but one clung on for dear life, continuing to bat away at Jubali, but Jubali was able to dodge each of the blows.
