[Day 8 - LA] The Queen and Soldier

[Jerri Organa]

Why was Jerri here?

That was a question Jerri always asked himself, from the first time he walked in on his parents to the day he found out his first thraxxian puppy didn’t go to the farm, he always wondered why was he here.

King Bouris was hurting people, even if he was beating up on that fake wanna be Vera Hawke Jedi he needed to be strong. So he ran behind cover and started hitting all the keys on the security panel!

If it worked on Vera Hawke surely it would work here! His fingers danced like a magician at work, every key stroke brilliant, he was truly slicing the world.

He smiled and then blinked, he had not selected the field to actually type in… and had just been jabbing keys. The field still sat blank, like the space in his heart he could not fill.

OOC: Jerri tried but for now he had failed.

Jeri the Slicing Wizard + Destiny: 1eP+3eA+3eD 0 successes

[Omandri Rist]

King Bouris did not have time for this, his blade in hand he stepped towards Omandri leading with a vicious kick and then the pommel to the skull, he spun bashing him with his shield before he stabbed the blade into Omandri and said, “Pathetic, I promised your sister I would spare you. Don’t make me break that promise.”

OOC: Frenzied Attack 2 used by the King, Aim for 2 strain after picking up his weapon. Total of 3 Successes and 5 Advantage, 1 to Critical Injury, 2 more to increase by +20, 2 to recover strain from Frenzied Attack for 13 wounds pierce 3.

King Bouris Melee vs Omandri Ignores 2 setback + Aim: 6eP+1eA+1eS+2eD+3eB 5 successes, 3 advantage


King Bouris Melee vs Omandri Ignores 2 setback + Aim: 1d100+70 136 - Bleeding Out (Every round the Traget suffers 1 wound and 1 strain at the beginning of his turn and every 5 rounds another Critical Injury)

Omandri was quick and able to Parry away some of the damage but the blow was still vicious.

--------------------
Unarmed Parry to take 3 strain and reduce damage by 4 with Soak take 6 Wounds

Soak 6
Defense Melee 3 Ranged 1
Wounds 6/16
Strain 5/14

[Dapper Dog]

“You are strong boy, you should be fighting for me not against me, your Queen is dead, kneel,” he said as he continued his vicious assault. He stabbed his blade into the ground gripping Omandri with his gauntlet headbutting him before dropping him and slashing with his weapon with incredible force knocking Omandri over a dozen meters through steelcrete wall.

The doctor might still be on his feet though.

OOC: 2 triumph to knock Omandri back at Long range through a wall, recover 2 strain and boost next ally. 15 wounds Pierce 3 on Omandri. PC turn. Omandri loses one Melee defense for the turn, last 2 Advantage.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri turned to avoid some of the damage but fancy footwork only gets you so far when a armored hulk is hitting you with a sword.

He goes flying through the wall but as the dust settles he is seen standing there. His jacket is torn, blood drips from the Wounds, his breath comes heavy and labored but he is on his feet for now.

The Doctor spits blood from his mouth and looks at Bouris, determination and anger burning in his eyes "You are no king." He says as he settles down into his stance and raises his shield ready for another attack.

----------------------------
Unarmed Parry to suffer 3 strain to reduce damage by 4 Soak takes damage down to 8

Soak 6
Defense Melee 3 Ranged 1
Wounds 14/16
Strain 8/14

[Dapper Dog]

Meanwhile


Lady Massacre tapped her com as she sped along the farmland. Xero jabbered in her ear and she responded, “Keep the family safe, I am about fifty klicks from the palace, comms are spotty.”

She gunned the engine, there was no time as the palace came into sight.

[Jocasta Teraan]

From behind cover, Jocasta saw the tide of battle turning against them. She also saw Jerri fiddling with a panel connected to the ray shield holding Yulastranza.

Rushing out of cover, she moves closer to Jerri, "Move out of the way!" she yells as she opens fire on the panel.

D8, LA, Q&S, Ranged Light Short Range Easy, Accurate 2: 2eP+1eA+2eB+1eD 2 successes, 6 advantage

Base damage 8+2 successes, 10 damage w/ 2 pierce.
6 advantages: 2 for 1 setback on HG1, 2 for 1 setback on HG2, 2 for 1 boost on next two allied checks.

With the shielding down and Yulastranza freed, Jocasta ducks behind cover once again.

Action: Shoot ray shielding panel
Maneuver 2: Take cover (take 2 strain)

[Dapper Dog]

The Honor Guard stimmed himself and then took aim for the King and fired, destroying the pillar that Jocasta was using for cover.

OOC: HG #1 acts, Maneuver to stim himself then fires on Jocasta! Now at 6 wounds. Missed but he destroys her cover for 2 Advantage.

[Layne Hoshin]

He was a stronger opponent than she'd anticipated; though he was a fool to go for Omandri first, when the Rist doctor went flying, she followed up with a demonstration of why he shouldn't have looked away.

Lightsabering the 'king', DESTINY, 2 setback ignored (blade of woe, accurage grip), 1 boost from accurate, 1 boost from Aiming, 2 boosts from Jocasta?: 5eP+1eA+4eB+3eC+1eD 6 successes, 1 advantage


Maneuver to Aim, Action to attack. 16 wounds inflicted (Breach), 1 advantage to boost next PC

Layne:
wounds: 3/17
Strain: 3/15 (edited in strain heal from jocasta)
soak: 6
Defense: 1 (Melee)
Sense: twice per round, when Layne is attacked, the difficulty is upgraded twice.
Fearsome 3 is triggered when enemies get into engaged.

[Dapper Dog]

The King used the shield to block some of the attack and drive the blade away from anything vital but still the effort would linger. With Omandri handled for the moment he could focus on this Jedi.

The King spoke, “I didn’t come here to kill Jedi, but if you stand between me and Alderaan, then you die, all the same.”

OOC: Block used to reduce damage by 8 and suffers 7 wounds. Suffered 3 strain, now at 5 strain.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri saw Layne distracting King Ulgo and took a second to deal with his Wounds. He pulled out a medical kit from his pack and found an emergency kit. He had to focus as a screw up could just end up knocking him out anyway.

He jabbed the device into the bleeding wound and Grit his teeth as foam did its job. The pain made him temporarily light headed but he could see the wound was closed for now. He dropped the kit and focused back up on the fight.

----------------------------------
Manuever to pull out med kit

D8 Queen and soldier treating my crit formidable medicine check player destiny boosts fromnallies boost from tools: 3eP+2eA+3eB+5eD 6 successes, 2 threat


Success no longer bleeding out. Two threat convert to strain.

Soak 6
Defense Melee 2 Ranged 1
Wounds 15/16
Strain 10/14

If targeted by an attack will flip for Coordinated Dodge to add 2 failures to the attack

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: That is fine for the Threat.

[Dapper Dog]

The Honor Guard tries to shoot at Layne but she is prepared and is where the blasts are not and then a rock comes sailing and hits his helmet square and he goes down.

OOC: Incidental to stim the King, maneuver to move and fire Threat used for something.

HG#2 Autofire vs. Layne: 2eP+2eA+3eC 2 failures, 1 threat

[Jerri Organa]

Jerri ducks behind a pillar after tossing the rock at the rapscallion.

OOC: 1 strain from the rock, HG#2 is out.

[Jerri Organa]

Jerri was in a pickle the rock was just there but now everyone was depending on him… that fake Jedi was going to lose and the cool punchy guy was knocked out most likely and angry army lady was just angry. No it was one man versus a corrupt king an Organa versus tyranny.

All tyrants must fall!

Thus Jerri employed the most deadly technique in an Organa’s arsenal, stern but firm lecturing. He stood out from behind the pillar and said, “So-called King Bouris Ulgo, since time immemorial we people of Alderaan have been a nation of laws and a beacon for liberty. Shame on you sir for ignoring such time-honored traditions of oratory, spirited debate, and democratic discourse! Are we not a modern and just people, I say we are… Alderaan is a nation for the people by the people, ahem, in a matter of fashion.”

“So sir please cease and desist, and let diplomacy prevail!” It would have been more meaningful if his glasses had not fallen off and he spends a moment trying to find them and hits himself on the pillar.

OOC: Jerri succeeds and drives his points home against Bouris, players get a free upgrade to their next action. He suffers a strain.

Jerri Oratory Leadership + Destiny: 2eP+2eA+1eC+3eD 4 successes, 1 threat

[Yulastranza Ulgo]

Yulastranza did not like any of this, why was her father trying to upend everything they had worked for. This was not a spur of the moment decision, this had been planned for a long while and now she would have to face him in battle, or at least try and make him see reason.

She rushed forward helmetless and slid across the throne floor her blaster rifle taking on the second Honor Guard, he was down and would live he was still an Ulgo and that mattered. She then shouted, “Father, I am sorry but this isn’t our path to greatness! You… I won’t believe you have been consumed by ambition. But this isn’t the way!”

She then took aim, as she slid to stop and aimed taking out a key power circulator on her father's armor and said, “I won’t fight you, but I will stop you! For Alderaan!”

OOC: She hits the Honor guard for 13 wounds, and forces him to drop his weapon for Advantage and Triumph to momentarily disable the suit. Until the start of her turn, Adversary is removed for King Bouris. HG#1 is back to 13 wounds.

[Dapper Dog]

King Bouris said to his daughter, “You will understand in time that this was for the best.”

His armor sparked and it impeded him but he continued his assault and shoved his shield into her face and then spun and slashed at her with furious strikes the blade clashing with the lightsaber as she nimbly avoids them but it was a feint as he redirects his final strike under her glowing blade and the blade is driven through Layne the point sticking out the back.

He frowned and said to Layne, “I take no pleasure in this, master Jedi. You have fought well, there is no shame in this.”

He then drew the blade back and kicked her off it. Blood splattering the floor. He flicked the blade back to remove some of the blood and then pointed it at Jocasta and said, “Kneel before your king.”


OOC: 12 wounds Pierce 3 and 9 Advantages, 1 to activate Crit, 4 to increase by +40, 3 to disarm, 1 to Recover strain. 2 strain used for Frenzied attack, now at 6 strain. Layne can spend a Destiny to survive but she is out of the fight, or take the most glorious death.

King Bouris Melee vs Layne Ignores 2 setback + Aim: 6eP+1eA+1eS+2eC+3eB 2 successes, 8 advantage


King Bouris Melee vs Layne Ignores 2 setback + Aim: 1d100+90 181

[Layne Hoshin]

"Even if you succeed here, you're a fool if you think the Order and Republic will just let this happen!"

She ducked out of the way of the autofire heading her way when a voice crackled through her commlink.

'Whassup Alderaan, it's ya boi...'

"Not now, Daz! I'm a little busy!" she yelled into her comm, not realizing he was sending it planetwide rather than just to her specifically. The 'alderaan' part of the message should've clued her in perhaps, but as she said... she was a little busy. Too busy to notice the details. A brutal strike from the would-be king drew her back into the fight, the blow parried away for most of its impact... except for the part where the tip of the blade cause a most grievous injury.

'also make sure to check out my social media, Prince Daz…'

And Layne went down.

...but destiny would intervene somehow.




3 strain to parry(3), reduces wounds taken by 5, Soak reduces by another 7, but pierce 3 ignores 3 soak. Durable reduces crit down by 20, still not enough. Destiny spent to not die.

wounds: 6/17
Strain: 6/15
soak: 7
Defense: 1 (Melee)
Sense: twice per round, when Layne is attacked, the difficulty is upgraded twice.
Fearsome 3 is triggered when enemies get into engaged.

Jerri had only one thought, She is the one.

[Jocasta Teraan]

Jocasta watches while Knight Hoshin is brought down by Bouris's vicious swing. She steps out from cover as Bouris taunts her and brings her Lancer up to bear on the megalomanic, "Alderaan will never kneel to a tyrant!" she spits out vehemently, before shifting her aim to the side and firing on the remaining Honor Guard.
