[D6 EE] It's Nikto Season!

[Alysele Cortess]

Alysele stood at one of the checkpoints in front of the Commercial District, with Red Testosterone Man and Blue Testosterone Man.

"So what do you think boys? Will they let us in after the explosions the other day, and today's attack?"

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay checked his heavy blaster, before tucking it beneath his Smuggler's Trenchcoat. He gave a determined nod to Alysele. "I think your charms may have a better effect than my own. Ready whenever you are, Lady." He grinned, taking up a flanking position.

"Here's hoping my deal with Kidaja comes through."

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren looked sceptical. "Chances are they'll try to stop us anyway because they're like that. We'll probably have to pay unless you can work your charms, Princess."

He looked at Durasay. "Your deal with a Hutt? Yeah, I hope that works out."

[Dapper Dog]

A hutt dressed as a security officer is directing other Hutt Security and seeing the trio waves them over and says in Huttese, "Due to security concerns, non-essential personnel and visitors are not allowed entry."

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren leaned in towards the other two and murmured. "If you want to be charming, go right ahead. I'm too straight talking for that sort of thing."

He then smiled roguishly at the security team and folded his arms before looking at the Jedi and Pantoran.

[Alysele Cortess]

Alysele stepped forward with a wide smile. "We understand, though we must proceed due to a security concern. The Red God cult has their base here, and we would like to get rid of them. We won't go anywhere else, we promise. Could you make a small exception for us, please?"

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Hard Charm check please.

[Alysele Cortess]

OOC:
D6 EE Charming Hutt, Destiny, Influence: 3eP+1eA+1eF+3eD 1 success, 1 threat, 2 Light Side

Converting the lightside to advantage, leading to 1 Success, 1 advantage

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren nodded, she was incredibly persuasive when she wasn't being prissy. The only question was whether the Hutt was as impressed.

[Durasay Mixo]

The Pantoran was impressed by Alysele. From his flanking position, he allowed his dress uniform to be seen beneath his coat, a certain air if authority that perhaps could... boost.. her own charms.

Ooc: Aly should have had this boost to her roll.
Aid Another Boost die to Alysele's Charm: 1eB 0 successes, 1 advantage

[Dapper Dog]

The Hutt officer is quiet for a long moment and then says, "I will send some security with you, just to keep you from getting lost. Don't make me regret this."

[Alysele Cortess]

"If anyone asks, we weren't here sir." She gave a bow to the officer. "Thank you for your generosity." She turned towards her compatriots. "Come on boys then. Let's get this done. Durasay. Jester. Let's go."

She started down towards the proper path. Hopefully proper.

[Durasay Mixo]

"Sir." He gave a salute to the security officer as the group was allowed to slip past. He focused on his breathing, trusting in the Force to see them through.

He hoped this would end the madness.

[Dapper Dog]

Screen wipe...

The trio plus the Hutt security approach a high rise structure and enter the lift and head up to the proper floor. The doors open to a darkly lit but seemingly empty office space with twisting paths of cubicles and wide glass windows overlooking the city.

OOC: Cool for initiative.

[Durasay Mixo]

Cool for Initiative!: 1eP+3eA 4 successes, 2 advantage


Durasay drew his heavy blaster pistol, the air filled with violence and dread.

[Alysele Cortess]

Aly was ready for everything, her curved saber in her hand.

OOC:
D6 EE Cool (Presence) for Init: 1eP+3eA 2 successes, 3 advantage, 1 Triumph

[Jo'ren Rath]

As they arrived in the dark building he wondered if it was as old as the spaces he had visited earlier. There was bound to be something in here ready to harm them. As the lift approached the proper floor Jo'ren drew his saber and focused his senses on detecting incoming attacks.

------

D6. Nikto fight. Cool: 1eA 0 successes, 2 advantage


(OOC: Committing a force die to Sense.)

[Dapper Dog]

Across the office space they see the two menacing nikto in robes, one turns and is easily recognized as the one Alysele faced before. The other cultists rush behind pillars and desks and level blasters at the trio!

OOC: Jo'ren will have to suffer 2 strain to use Sense before combat or spend an action on the first round activating it. Devarik and Azanak have Adversary 1 and Melee Defense 1 they are at Medium range, the two groups of 3 cultists are at Medium range behind cover.

Alysele may take a free Maneuver before combat starts due to Triumph.

[Alysele Cortess]

Ooc: away fro few hours then sleep, so please.ghost.me.

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Let's even the odds." Jo'ren sprang into action, closing the distance to one of the cultist groups. His impressive melee skills were more than a match for their cover and their blasters, although it took some effort to pull it off.

Manuever to close to short range.
2 strain for maneuver to close to engaged with cultist group 1.
Action to attack.

(OOC: Not activating Sense just yet)

[Alysele Cortess]

Alysele looked at Azranak. A part of her wanted to jump in, and stab him down, to death. She gripped her glowing saber..... not yet. Not yet. She glanced at the cultists. Need to take them out first.

While Jo'ren dealt with one grop, Aly took a leap towards the other group.

OOC:

Melee Defense 1
Ranged Defense 1

+1 advantage from Curved hilt.
1 Advantage used to Crit (autokill on mobs)?
1 advantage to recover strain

9 damage, Breach 1

[Dapper Dog]

After the Jedi and Sith engage the cultists only one remains standing... near Alysele! Azanak charges into battle against the Jedi spinning his staff and strikes with a powerful blow that again rips through her armor like it was nothing! She feels the bones in her right thigh shatter from the strike!

The other nikto assassin charges at Jo'ren but the defenses of the Sith brute are far too much for this warrior to pierce!

OOC: Azanak deals 9 wounds Breach 1 and generates a critical! Devarik suffers 1 strain. Only one minion of the cultists facing Alysele is left. Devarik and Azanak have Adversary 1 and Melee Defense 1; they are engaged with Jo'ren and Alysele respectively all enemies are at Medium range to Durasay and the Cultists has cover. Using an Unaligned Destiny for Durasay, upgrades the difficulty of his next action by 1.

Init: PC, PC, NPC, NPC, PC, NPC

Azanak vs. Alysele: 3eP+1eA+1eS+2eD 1 success, 1 advantage


Azanak vs. Alysele - Crit: 1d100+20 115 - Temporarily Lame: She cannot do more than one Maneuver during their turn, until this is healed.

Devarik vs. Jo'ren: 3eP+1eA+2eD+3eS 0 successes, 1 threat

[Durasay Mixo]

Field Commander! (Presence 4, Leadership 1, Command 2 boost die, enhanced leader add force die, pips for success or advantage, versus average difficulty, upgraded once): 1eP+3eA+2eB+1eF+1eD+1eC 2 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Dark Side


Durasay ran in after the pair, moving to a position behind a desk, where he could take command of the battlefield.

"Aly! Jo'ren. Watch your sides, close off!" His sharp sense of command seeing where they could be most effective.

Ooc: maneuver to move to cover. Field Commander Action. With the success, up to 8 allies can spend 1 strain for an immediate out of turn maneuver. With the 2 advantages, I will grant Alysele a boost die to her next action!)

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren uses the direction to aim carefully at his opponent. Alysele (Ghosted) uses a manuever to increase her defense I believe.

[Dapper Dog]

The lone Red God cultists tries to stab the Jedi but she is far too nimble for the strike to do any lasting damage despite her injury!

OOC: Alysele parries and reduces the hit to 3 wounds after Breach 1, she is now at 9 wounds and 10 strain, then another strain for Guarded Stance, and then she gets hit again and uses Parry to reduce damage 0 wounds, she is at 6 strain and 9 wounds. Azanak have Adversary 1 and Melee Defense 1; they are engaged with Jo'ren and Alysele respectively all enemies are at Medium range to Durasay who has Cover.

Init: PC, PC, NPC, NPC, PC, NPC

Single Cultist - Melee: 3eA+2eD+2eS 1 success, 2 threat


End of Round 1.
