Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

Event Type: Affection/Suitor Event, Main
Participants: All
Timeslots: Late Afternoon

Description: House Organa and House Thul have sponsored teams to play exhibition games of Huttball, and many amateur teams of festival goers and suitors are allowed to play against these sponsored teams. Joran Panteer is ready to play, he loves the competition while Jameela is… not very enthused.

Rules: Before starting a player needs to note if they are going solo and joining an NPC team or playing as part of a set team. Next if they are playing for Affection/Suitor or just having fun.

If going for Suitor or Affection add a setback die, additional pressure, to the first round skill roll and the second round Skill roll, not the mandatory Resilience checks. To gain Affection or Suitor points they can spend 3 Advantage on Skill One or Skill Two to gain 1 Affection or Suitor point.

If on a team use the Huttball rules and play as normal. Please a make a separate thread for your team.

If Solo, they only have to roll four times, Choose two different skills from the Huttball list; roll skill one then Resilience check; roll skill two and then Resilience check. Gain a boost die from teammates for Skill one and Skill two. If Solo just reply here.

Rewards/Outcome: If your team wins gain 500 credits of glory, if you lose or going solo gain 300 credits of glory.

Destiny Use: Spending Destiny for an upgrade to the Difficulty for each Suitor.

Skills for use in a Huttball match; Athletics, Brawl, Coercion, Cool, Coordination, Deception, Leadership, Melee, Perception, Ranged Light, Vigilance, Skullduggery, and Stealth. Each player on the team makes two skill rolls versus Hard difficulty.

Final score:
Team Disaster 9
Team Thul 2

Cynella gained 1 Affection.

Blai had never been particularly focused on sports - other than hiking and exploring, that is. But he had at least heard of Huttball... and well, since everyone was trying it, maybe he could give it a go as well. Looking at some of the other teams, he knew he wouldn't shine by any means. But maybe he could put on at least a decent show...

... but then, looking at the stands, he saw Jameela not particularly excited. What would even be a good show for someone who didn't seem to care about the sport?

The prince, on the other hand, was particularly excited about the game, it seemed. And... whoa, he looked good.

But there were so many others interested around...

He kept his eyes on the stands, and, seeing the others he knew from the festival already organised in teams, decided to get into a team with some others who were around. His memories as the unpopular nerdy kid from school came back in a pang... but he shrugged it off. He'd at least try to have some fun while playing against the Organa teams...

...although having fun while trying to look good to Jameela wasn't so easy!

His first efforts were in trying to keep back, holding the ball and keeping a sharp eye at the field to find space for good passes. Find some he did, and the plays he almost managed to make apparently *did* get at least some of Jameela's attention. That, in itself, was a victory!

The passes not so much, though... and twice while trying to get the ball to one of the strikers that sprinted forward the ball was intercepted, ending in goals *against his team*.

The game even more tiring than he remembered, but he tried to push forward some more. Changing tactics a bit, he tried to act as a striker himself, moving quickly and trying to avoid the attention of the defenders to go for winning runs. And that he did! Once, at least, he managed to escape opponents' attention, receive a very good pass and score a goal! The second attempt resulted in yet *another* interception and another goal for the Organa team... but hey, he had scored a goal! That was better than he expected!

When the game was over, he was exhausted. More than he remembered even exploring unknown biomes. But it was an interesting experience... and he had got *some* attention, apparently, so all in all a win!

(Not really, but...)

OOC:
D3 LA - Huttball - playing Solo for affection (Jameela... whoops! haha). Boost from teammates. Perception vs Hard, Intense Focus (costs 1 Strain), Destiny Flip: 3eP+1eB+3eD 4 failures, 3 advantage
- produces 2 goals against (2 failures), but weirdly gets 1 affection (3 advantages)! Also 1 Strain used for Intense Focus. Setback ignored due to Keen Eyed.

D3 LA - Huttball - playing Solo for affection (Jameela... whoops! haha). Boost from teammates. Resilience 1 vs Average: 1eP+1eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 threat
- and 4 more Strain, total 5.

D3 LA - Huttball - playing Solo for affection (Jameela... whoops! haha). Boost from teammates. Stealth vs Hard, Bonus from teammates + Intense Focus: 1eP+2eA+1eB+3eD 4 successes, 2 threat

- exchanging 1 Challenge die for the blank Difficulty die due to goof-up...

D3 LA - Huttball - rolling Challenge die to replace blank diff die...: 1eC 0 successes, 2 threat
- Also forgot the Setback die, wait for it...

D3 LA - Huttball - rolling Setback for Skill roll 2 because I'm stupid and can't read :p: 1eS 0 successes
-> Phew!
So total for 2nd skill roll: 4 successes, 4 threat. That's 1 goal for, 1 against, and 2 strain suffered (1 from Intense focus + 1 for 1 remaining threat). Total strain suffered so far (calculated wrong on roll description) = 1 from first skill roll, 4 from 1st Resilience, 2 from second skill roll = 7 total...

D3 LA - Huttball - playing Solo for affection (Jameela... whoops! haha). Resilience 2 vs Average: 1eP+1eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 advantage
- 3 strain suffered, 1 recovered from advantage, so total 2 more suffered.

Total results:
1 goal for NPC team (for whatever that's worth)
2 goals suffered for NPC team (erm...)
1 affection gained (Jameela... if that works)
Total strain suffered during Huttball = 1 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 9 Strain total o_O
