 Boost success advantage The dice rolled: 6 successes, 1 advantage, 1 threat


The end result: 6 successes

Revan stands firm against the charging beast.  The force flows through him as he calmly aims and fires his blaster.  The red bold finds its way past the chargers bony skull and strikes it in the chest causing it to stumble.

Every uncancelled success adds +1 to the weapons base damage of 5 for a total of 11.



The canyon charger is slowed by the attack and closes to within a few meters but is out of striking distance.

Mata retreats to cover behind the scarred boulder you just walked past and fires her blaster.



6 damage.  I will use 2 of the advantages to recover my strain from the climb in and use the last advantage to give a blue boost die to Revan's next roll.

The shot slams into the chargers leg.  The beast rears up on its hind legs and lets loose a great roar.

In reply to Mata Hari (msg # 39):

Revan stays calm and continues to tap into the force. He aims his next shot

In reply to Revan Kun (msg # 40):

The dice rolled: 2 successes, 5 advantages, 1 failure, 2 threats

 The end result: 1 success, 3 advantages

In reply to Revan Kun (msg # 41):

I rolled 3 green 1 purple 1 blue and two black was that correct

Aiming gives either 1 blue if you are just aiming at the target in general or 2 black if you are aiming at a specific part of the target

The Charger is barreling down on Revan only meters away now.  But the force is a strong ally and Revan cooly aims another shot.  The bolt slams into the center of the chargers head and its front legs fail.  The great beast slides forward into Revan but without thinking he deftly jumps and backflips off the chargers head and lands beside Mata behind the boulder.

The Charge is wounded but you can tell from the scars on its broad head that it is used to conflict.  It stands up and surveys the two intruders.  Looking back and forth between you and the scarred boulder it huffs clouds of dust.  Seemingly satisfied that you are no longer encroaching on his territory he ignores your presence and heads back up the side of the canyon from where it came.

Nice shooting.  Those things really don't like trespassers.

In reply to Mata Hari (msg # 44):

thanks mata, now lets try and find those crystals. keep your eyes open though, there are probably more threats along the way.

We need to find our way through this chargers territory to get into the caves.  Any ideas?

In reply to Mata Hari (msg # 46):

  i noticed earlier some of these boulders are battered and scarred. they seem to section off certain areas of the canyon. this might be the chargers territory lets avoid these areas as best we can. if he comes back he is already injured, we may be able to wound him enough to run away once again.

Make a Stealth check of average difficulty with a boost for figuring out the territory markers.

Mata successfully sneaks through the canyon but suffers 1 strain for the threat.

Revan and Mata sneak through the boulder field evading the Canyon Chargers notice.

Due to all the advantages rolled you get extra info:

As you approach the entrance you notice a comm relay  and an imperial probe droid motionless in a heap.  By the battered marks all over it you can tell it had a run in with a canyon charger and didn't survive.

The Imps have gotten here already.  Your crystals are some of the most illegal objects in the galaxy and they don't want them to leave these caves.  If a probe droid spots us it won't take long for the stormtroopers to show up.  I would guess it will take them about an hour at this distance away from the garrison and mining complex.

In reply to Mata Hari (msg # 52):

maybe we can try to rewire that probe droid to go into the tunnels and see which ones are safe or not. if there are other probe droids in the caves they shouldnt alert the imps if its just anohter droid.

This droid is too damaged for me to repair it without some spare parts but I can try and access its memory and comm systems

Mata pulls out her datapad and pulls off one of the battered probe droids panels.  After a brief survey of the internals she plugs in a gets to work.

Its a Hard task so 3 purple difficulty.  Her Computer skill gives her 2 yellow proficiency and 1 green ability



After about 15 minutes Mata stands up quickly and yanks the datapad to disconnect it from the droid.

RUN!

She sprints for the cave entrance

I accidently triggered the self destruct! She yells back.

The droid detonates in a bright flash sending rocks high into the air.  The explosion reverberates through the canyon.

In reply to Mata Hari (msg # 54):

well they probably know we are here now so no use sneaking around. let's get in these tunnels And find many crystals as possible. with any luck we can be in and out without any trouble.

You fire up your glow rods and head into the nearest of the three cave openings.  You spend a fair amount of time working through various tunnels, some of which lead to other cave openings.  As you head deeper along a passageway you hear an ominous crack in the cave's ceiling.  Without warning, part of the cavern's roof collapses downwards, throwing jagged rock shards and choking clouds of dust.

Roll an average vigilance check

 The dice rolled: 1 success, 1 advantage, 2 threats

The end result: 1 success, 1 threat

Falling shards pepper you both as you dive out of the way of the collapse.  Luckily it wasn't a complete cave in and the passageway isn't blocked.

Revan suffers 1 strain and Mata suffers 2 wounds.  The advantages rolled allow you to inspect the collapse and see clues going forward that would show a potential cave in

You feel the force drawing you deeper into the tunnels.  You let it guide your way through the darkness until your path is blocked by layers of shimmering crystalline web from floor to ceiling.

Peering through the mass of strands you see the tunnel turn and a glow coming from around the corner.

In reply to GM CoAlGun (msg # 59):

i dont like the way this web looks. it could be a trap of some sort. lets grab some smaller debris from the partial cave in. id like to throw it into the webbing to see what happens.

mata and revan head back to the area that collapsed. they grabbed various sizes of rubble that they could carry and head back to the webbing.

mata why dont you watch out behind us while i see if anything happens

that way if i need to use the force she wont notice anything.

i cant remember if she knows im force sensitive or not. also not sure how far the bend is in the tunnel to hide from an ambush. might have to use the force if i cant throw far enough.

I think its safe to say she's assumed you are one of the hidden force sensitives in the galaxy, especially since you are trying to get your hands on a rubat crystal.  Shes a rebel sympathizer so its not a problem.

The bend in the tunnel is only 15 or 20 meters from the webbing.
