Stranger in the Woods [Day 2, EA]

[Meiyokashi]

Event Type: Side Event (Encounter)
Participants: 3 PC's
Timeslot: Day 2, EA

Vron has been tracking suspicious trails left in the nearby woods of late and come to the conclusion that the enclave has a visitor nearby. With the threat of the Empire looming nearby Mandalore has signed off on a mission to investigate this potential threat and eliminate it. Two teams of three set out from the enclave to accomplish this task. Vron leading Ral and Bura in one to try and push this suspicious individual out of their hiding place. Leaving the you in position to catch them if they manage to flee before the trap is closed.

Lying in wait for your quarry anticipation sits in as you are all left uncertain whether you're wasting time sitting out in the forest, or about to do battle with a potentially dangerous adversary. With the Empire afoot anything seemed possible.

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

Day 2, Stranger in the Woods, Cool initiative: 2eA 4 successes


May was mid-sugar hit and was positively vibrating with energy.

Day 2, Stranger in the Woods, hard stealth check: 1eP+3eA+1eB+3eD 1 success, 1 advantage


A vibrating shadow.

((Stats:

Soak: 7
Defense: 3
Wounds: 0/15
Strain: 0/13 ))

[Forte Kryze]

If we have someone who already knows where the base is, best to catch up quick and see what he knows. Forte Kryze comes to join the negotiation, hoping his experience in overland travel will make quite a difference in how quickly this gets resolved.


((Stats:
Soak: 6
Defense: 1
Wounds: 0/17
Strain 1/13))

D2 EA: Cool/Presence Initiative: 1eP+2eA 2 successes, 3 advantage


D2 EA: Stealth/Agility, Hard Difficulty: 3eA+3eD 3 successes, 2 threat

[Cha Vizsla]

Cha is doing his best to walk soft, fading into the background. His armor shimmers and winks from visible light. His fingers move to his pistol which he fingers cautiously. Somehow, for all of his precautions, he is the one unable to avoid cover

Strangers in the Woods - Initiative - Cool: 2eA 1 success, 2 advantage


Strangers in the Woods - Stealth - 3 Upgrades from Armor - 2 strain to activate Master of Shadows talent to reduce difficulty: 4eP+2eD 0 successes, 1 advantage


((Stats:
Soak: 4
Defense: 1
Wounds: 0/15
Strain 2/12))

[Meiyokashi]

Locked in, Encounter will start loosely 5-6pm EST On October 6th.

Forte's extra success' covers for Cha's near-miss failure.

[Meiyokashi]

Running into the open clearing before them, a woman in ragged robes and messy hair from years of surviving out in the wilds stumbles. From a distance it is clear her eyes are wild as she glances around to every corner of the forest looking for threats. Taking the needed time to rest, heaving in heavy breaths from running all this way from her camp up the mountainside.

SitW, Day 2 | Initiative: Vigilance: 2eA 2 successes, 1 advantage

Ilena has Adversary 1 if she is attacked.
Currently the entire group is hidden and thus she has not spotted anyone.
Ilena is Medium Range away from all active PC's.

Two PC's are up next!

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

May had been expecting an imperial scout or a probe, maybe at worst a bounty hunter. This woman was...apparently not that.

Whispering to the other two. "Uhh, it's a homeless person. Maybe we should talk to her, or something? She might need help, or at least a shower. I sympathize, my hair would go to the dogs out here."

Ghosting through the undergrowth Mayrelli pops out right next to the woman.
"Umm, hello there. I'm May. Can we talk for a bit? Are you alright?"

(( two maneuvers to move to engaged with the lady and then an action to chat to her. 1 strain gained))

[Meiyokashi]

Tag.

[Give me a Charm Check at Hard, one Challenge, two setback. GM Upgrade noted in that previous lineup.]

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

Stranger in the Woods, charm check at hard with upgrade and two setbacks: 2eA+1eC+2eD+2eS 0 successes


It's hard for a friendly smile to carry from under a featurless helmet.

[Forte Kryze]

(Mind if I try, this is my specialty after all, sorry for afk, RL no Oni)

[Meiyokashi]

[You may, increased difficulty however: 1eC + 3eD + 2eS, I will note there are now two heavily armed folk that would be suddenly approaching her.]

[Cha Vizsla]

Kriff guys, you fouled my firing lane.

Cha waits for the chance to act, but wants to give the others a chance first.

(Deferring until Forte takes his shot)

[Forte Kryze]

D2 EA: Charm/Presence, Daunting Difficulty, Upgrade once, +2 setback, -1 from Killing With Kindness: 2eP+1eA+1eC+3eD+1eS 5 failures


(It's even harder for 2 people in featureless helmets to convince an unarmed lady.)

"Pardon my manners ma'am, but would you be willing to have a few words with us?"

{Spend 1 manever to move up a band}

[Meiyokashi]

Post Deleted, please note Initiative.

[Meiyokashi]

"All of you GET AWAY," she shouts, and in a flurry of fear and adrenaline her robes are cast aside as a green beam of light cuts through the air with a distinctive *snap-hiss*. Dashing through the air before her and just dancing in front of Mayrelli. Coming so close to the reputed weapon of the Jedi would unnerve anyone in the moment, and Mayrelli was no exception to this fact.

SitW, Day 2 | Lightsaber vs May, Defense 3, Engaged: 2eP+1eA+2eD+3eS 3 failures, 2 advantage


Maneuver: Draw Lightsaber
Action: Attack Mayrelli, Lightsaber.

Mayrelli and Ilena are engaged. Please remember this increases difficulty of ranged checks on Ilena.
Forte is at Short.
Cha is at Medium.

Mayrelli suffers a Setback on her next check.

PC turn next, End of round, and then Two PC turns.

[Cha Vizsla]

That there was a sight that Cha had not expected. But this was still more interesting to uncover than a hit.

Sure, the woman was a danger but he had dealt with dangerous marks before.

He throws the glop grenade, but it's jusssssst out of range and jams when it lands.

Glop the Jedi-Ranged Light Easy, 2 difficulty upgrades from Adversary and Firing into melee: 2eP+2eA+1eC+1eD 0 successes, 1 advantage

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"Wooooooahk, easy now. No need to cut me in half or anything, yeesh."
May takes a step back as the sparking blade flashes past her face.

"Can we just talk about this? Or, or....we hug it out!"

Trying to hug the jedi, sap gloves, setback from jedi last roll.: 1eP+3eA+1eC+1eD+1eS 3 successes, 1 advantage


May dives forward and wraps the other woman in a bear hug. Although the lightsaber wielder's arms were still free.

(( As discussed the action is to 'hug' with sap gloves 9 stun damage before soak))

[Meiyokashi]

Screaming a little with the bit of a shock sparking her, tiring her, she croaks out through hard breathing, "How am I supposed to trust people trying to hunt me???" she barks with venom, screaming and scared. Struggling to get her arms free the threat of the lightsaber managing to cut Mayrelli was rather dire.


-still in combat, just making a little flavor post for Mayrelli's-

PC is still next!
