The Dark Academy on Korriban

Well, if it's Jo'ren, Khalim, and Jun-Tsu, what way do we want to go about it?

Having re-read the rules it seems like the basic Heal/Harm power can only be activated once (which makes snese) each turn so I can Deal 3 unsoakable damage or heal 3 each turn. Not great damage or heal output. I'm not sure my Sith sword will do much better. But it's something.

For non-combat, I've got Lore 2, Intellect 3. Easily my best skill roll. Otherwise I do have Discipline 1, Willpower 3 (or Vigilance 2, Cunning 2).

I'll leave that decision to you guys. I feel like we'll probably get wrecked in combat, especially if Lord Savas peaces out, considering how many warnings we have been given. Or at least that we'll get hurt...a lot. But if you all want to go for it, I'll go as well.

You can only harm/heal once per turn, but if you get more than one force point you can spend them to multiply the effect I believe. Also, with such a powerful force enemy there you might ask if it's a verge.

As an outsider to that event; and if Layne knew the OOC rules, she'd be all like:

Well if fight it and they kill it I get free xp. So I win.

If they fight it and they get killed. They all die. So I win.

If they seal it instead. I don't get free xp. And they all live. So I lose.

The basic power under Heal/Harm specifically states that it cannot be activated multiple times, and under Force Power activation it says that refers to a specific activation of the Force Power (and if it could it would render the Strength upgrade rather pointless).

Eventually I could get up to 8+ unsoakable per turn....but not right now.

If it has anything like Parry, 3 unsoakable can still be useful.

Or if it has shittons of Brawn and thus soaks a ton of damage.

Oh, definitely useful, just....baby-useful. Not full-on AWESOME-SAUCE!

Also, it may have similar powers that are awesome-sauce.

Without a doubt, it has powers that are more awesome-sauce.

Especially if even Savas is scared of it.

Or maybe Savas has no clue what it is, and it'll just be a little sith puppy and not some ultra-powerful terrifying doom-sith.

I doubt it, though.

More like, it's just Death's Shadow powerful rather than worse.

Maybe if we can get Savas to not peace out, THEN we might have an ok chance of beating it.

Lure him more with suggestions of lost knowledge.

Savas has better things to do.

Tell him it's James Potter in there?

"Hey, Savas, I'm pretty sure it's the lost Emperor in there. What lost Emperor, you ask? Well, clearly, the one that hasn't been discovered yet. Imagine your fame and glory if you were to discover him."

Lord Savas shrugs.

You're not playing to his soft spot properly.

"Lord Savas... from this inscription it seems this is the lost Bakery of the Dark Lords!"

I swear if three men can't make a decision then Jun-Tsu will just open it.

"Go! You're free now!"

OoO

"Oooooooooooo."

*snickers*

"Welcome back, whoever you are. We let you free, so you should refrain from murdering us. We'll totally help you murder everyone else and reclaim your righteous place, though."

*sage nod*

Conference dinner, just on the way back. Beers consumed. What's going on, are we sealing it or dying? Can Jun-Tsu heal at all?

Very little, and slowly.

I think we're leaning toward "seal now, come back later when we've levelled up a few dozen times".

I'll roll Athletics.

Just a suggestion, the rolls should go in order from best to worst. That way potential advantage can be passed down from top to bottom.

Well for me Athletics with a destiny point is 1eA+3eP before difficulty etc.

With a boost.

Danke.
