Hutt Ballers! Assemble! [D1 EE]

[Craw Toboga]

Craw shrugs again, grinning. "I can do support. As long as I get to beat somebody up. Got a lot of energy to use after being cooked up in a ship for god knows how long."

[Aphr Ahaya]

"I'm not strong. I'll let you guys do the brawn. I use my mind" Aphr offered her part

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Sounds to me like our buddy Craw here should lead off with the first play. Get some of that energy channeled into beating down the other team." He gave the man a fierce grin. "Thanks for the info Niall, and yeah, that sounds good Aphr."

[Adrianaa Morindel]

Adrianaa sat in the stands and watched carefully.

"Voice log: A sith named Remmington asked me to play a game of Huttball. Oversving teams first match to decide if I will accept."

She reaches up and clicks off her recorder built in the communicator on her ear and then eyes the players as they assemble.

((Just watching!))

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington bows to everyone. "Thank you everyone for coming once again. Welcome to team Valkyrie. We have some extra players but that is fine. We can switch out people for those who want to take a break and keep our opponents on their toes. So get the ball, pass the ball, get it into the other team's goal, oh and avoid the traps.

Our inaugural match will be against a team from the Republic, the Neutron Smashers. I say we are pretty unique in that we have representatives across the board for this team. So let's win and more importantly look good while doing it." He flashes a wide grin to everyone.

He goes over the general play formations.

"So to keep things simple. Niall, with your military experience commanding troops, I want you to observe the game and make calls to the team so we can quickly respond and adapt to whatever the other team may be doing. Craw, Jo'ren, and I will take the other team head on. Break through, take the ball, and protect our players. Adrianna, Aphr, Arsele, and Ashla in general you ladies will look for and exploit openings in the other team's defenses.

I guess we'll have Adrianaa and Arsele sit out for this game. Though please cheer us on." Another confident smile.

"Alright Valkyries, let's fly!"

---

After the pep speech, Remmington leads the team to the starting area.

Once the count down hits zero and they get the green light, he dashes straight out to the middle for the ball. He manages to grab the ball and then weaves his way around the other team. He then passes the ball forward just before a large Repubic trooper type crashes into him with a tackle.


Round 1
Athletics = 2 successes, 1 Dark Side (not using)


Resilience = 2 successes, 1 threat


1 Strain taken

[Ashla Vyliis]

Ashla weaves through finding an opening and catches the ball before passing it further.

Round 1: Skullduggery: 1 Success, 2 Threat

Resilence: 1 Failure

Strain: +5

[Jo'ren Rath]

Then it was Jo'ren's turn to cause some havoc, which he managed magnificently! Scoring a goal and an assist all by himself for no punishment in return, it was as if he was born to play this game. As he cracked skulls he was sure to position himself in such a way as to protect the slightest looking member of their team: Aphr.

----
Round 1 - Brawl
D1. Huttball round 1 - Brawl, destiny upgrade.: 1eP+3eA+3eD 7 successes, 2 threat


Resilience
D1. Huttball round 1 - Resilience: 1eP+3eA+2eD 4 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph


No threat taken and triumph means Aphr gets to upgrade her next Resilience check.

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr did a brilliant job with the organization. Talking strategy on the fly works so well it seemed, and she placed herself in the ideal position to set upa third goal

D1 EE Huttball - Coordination: 1eP+2eA+3eD 1 success, 1 threat


1 EE Huttball - Resilience with 1 upgraded from Jo'ren (Corrected!): 1eP+1eA+2eD 1 success, 1 advantage

(Running total - 11 successes)

[Remmington Thalalas]

/ 11 success /

Remmington takes a quick reprieve to look at the scoreboard.

Valkyrie 2
Neutron Smashers 0

[Niall Organa]

"Great play, Jo'ren! Good cover!" Niall clapped his hands as he jogged forward, cheering as Aphr managed to slip around the defenders and score another goal.

Niall surveyed the play field with a steady eye, calling out plays, trusting in his large teammates to keep him safe, and his smaller ones to get where they needed to go. The plays he called were conservative, moving slowly to score points, but denying their opponents any. Sweat ran down his brow as he tried to be everywhere at once.

------------------

Huttball Round 1 - Cool: 1eP+3eA+3eD 2 successes, 1 advantage


13 success total. Next roller add one boost die

Huttball Round 1 - Resilience: 2eA+2eD 2 failures, 2 threat


5 strain taken

[Arsele Girard]

The Valkyries' reserve member comes out of the changing rooms as the match progresses, wearing a tiny skirt and a tank top with a stylized V emblazoned on it.

...she seemed to be cheerleading and trying to pump up the crowd. She gives a particularly energetic one as Niall scores.

[Craw Toboga]

Craw takes the field with his usual cocky swagger, but soon finds out that the opposition is more than he expected. It's not all about just beating the hell out of the first person you see, because usually that person has friends on the field. Friends that will beat on you with equal ferocity. Craw found out this the hard way. Although he managed to land a few good hits before he was taken down, the swarm of enemy combatants soon overwhelmed him. Thankfully his hardiness kept him away from most harm as he fought his way out of the melee.

[Niall Organa]

Niall grimaced as their line began to falter. "Craw! Form up on Jo'ren! Remmi, help them form a wedge and push through! Ashla, Aphr, get ready to run!"

Slowly, they began to push forward.

---------------------------------------------------

Huttball Round 2 - Leadership - adding one boost from Craw: 2eP+2eA+3eD+1eB 1 success, 2 advantage


14 successes total. Recover 1 strain

***ONE BOOST DIE TO NEXT ROLLER***

Huttball Round 2 - Resilience: 2eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 threat


Take 4 strain.

[Ashla Vyliis]

While Craw is occuping most of the other team, Ashla casually scores two goals while no one is looking.

But the strain of it all takes a toll on her.

Round 2: Stealth: 4 Successes and 1 Triumph and 2 Threat

Resilence: Failure with 2 Threat

+7 Strain (Barely holding on here)

18 Successes total + 1 Triumph

[Jo'ren Rath]

Seeing that they weren't going to get the perfect game Jo'ren grabbed the ball and broke through the other team's lines only to score again! He took a bit of a beating for it but shrugged it off.


----
D1. Huttball round 2- Athletics: 2eP+2eA+3eD 4 successes, 1 threat


D1. Huttball round 2 - Resilience: 1eP+3eA+2eD 3 successes, 1 threat


Total = 22 successes

[Remmington Thalalas]

Following Niall's plays, Remmy moves to assist Craw and Jo'ren. Staying attentive he moves up with the ball. When he sees a couple of Republic players coming at him he remains steady and passes it forward again and then avoids their attacks.

The game is drawing to a close. He checks the score once again.

The scoreboard read:
Valkyrie 6
Neutron Smashers 0

Round 2. Huttball - Vigilance = 1 success


Round 2. HuttBall - Resilience = 3 success, 1 advantage


23 Success +1 Triumph

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr spotted the placement of Remmington, and charged forward as he passes it. Goal scored!

She even had a moment to wave up at Zane in the crowd

D1 EE Huttball - Perception: 1eP+2eA+3eD 1 success

(1 success!)

D1 EE Huttball - Resilience (corrected as no bonus from Remmy): 2eA+2eD 2 successes, 2 threat

(Cancel each other out?)

(24 successes total now)

[Craw Toboga]

Round 2 went slightly more eventfully for Craw. Someone for some reason, left the ball unattended for a few seconds, and Craw used that for his advantage. Shaking off the other players, he grabbed the ball and threw it in one smooth arc, right into the other team's goal. But in his celebrations / Taunts to the other team, Craw missed one of the enemy players running past him and shooting the ball right back into their goal.

[Jo'ren Rath]

Of course, before the enemy player could finish his move he got clotheslined by Jo'ren Rath. A horn sounded the end of the game and Rem's Valkyries had smashed their opponents a meaty 7 goals to nil!

He was completely uninjured and felt pumped. "So you guys ready for another game?" Looking around the team it seemed a few of his teammates were worse for wear. "Hmm, maybe not then. Not right now anyway. Still, my optimism was well placed." He laughed and went off to collect his winnings.

Final score is 28 successes to 0 failure = 7-0

--------

For winning we each gain 150 credits.

Jo'ren's 100 credit bet pays back 180 credits.

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr wipes her brow, a little tired from the game but not hurt in any way.

"Well, that was fun" she commented with a smile as she heads off to collect her winnings

(150 credits won!)

[Adrianaa Morindel]

Adrianaa watched wach of the players carefully and cheeres at the win.

"Voicelog: It seems the offer was genuine. Sith and Republic forces worked together and did not fight each other and even won. Great chance for a PR stunt if I take up offer to play"

[Remmington Thalalas]

"Good job team! That turned out a lot better than I expected. We're definitely going to have a lot of eyes on us." Remmington says with a smile and high fives all around.

He goes to collect his winnings. He received a message on his commlink and accepts it before putting it away.

He chuckles a bit at Jo'ren's enthusiasm. "I think this is good enough for today Jo'ren."

[Niall Organa]

"Whew!" Niall pauses a moment, panting, resting with his hands on his knees. It is a few moments before he straightens, rising to his full height.

"Well done, everyone!" He calls out as he follows the rest of the team over. He raises his hand, exchanging a high five with Remmington. Looking over to Jo'ren, he gives a nod. "Very well done, Jo'ren. Those were solid hits you gave the other team."

He glanced over at Arsele in the cheering section, shooting her a grin.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington raises the goggles from his eyes and rests them on top of his forehead. He flashes a smile and waves back to their cheering section.

"Thanks for the support." He calls out.

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Yeah, that was a blast. Good job on those calls Niall. Guess we all made a good team after all." He gave them a roguish grin and waved at the cheerleaders.
