EVENT D10: Defenders of the Republic

[Faily]

The apprentice growled in pain as Eir's lightsaber seared his leg, wobbling back from the attack.




Seeing her apprentice in need of assistance, the Master sighed, and with dramatic flair that was further emphasized by her billowing robes, she flipped over Byron as her double-bladed lightsaber spun across over to Eir. The distance closed happened with incredible speed, but she didn't quite catch Eir completely unaware.


-----

Master Round 1: Hawk Bat Swoop against Eir (swooping is bad?). Destiny for player and GM!: 4eP+3eF+2eC 1 success, 3 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

[Eir]

Eir could feel something wrong with her lightsaber as she brought it up to parry the Master's blow, but it deflected some of the damage, as intended.

Strain: 3 of 13
Wounds: 6 of 12
Soak: 4
Defense: 0
Ouch.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

The Master was dangerous, but taking care of the apprentice would let them concentrate on the man. Rushing towards the masked man, his blade flashed out, scoring a deep wound.

[Faily]

Silas' true strike was enough to end what Eir had begun and the Apprentice buckled under from the onslaught of the Jedi. "Augh... I hate... you!" he gasped as he fell down on his good knee - the other one had suffered a lightsaber to it.

Apprentice is down.

O'vala growled and ran in with her own swings. She wasn't able to land her own hit.

[Byron Mik]

Byron rushed forward leaping over console right into the fray his green digital saber clashing with the Sith clashing with sparks… all of this briefly reminded him of his sister and one of her favorite songs… some Huttese gibberish but the words were ingrained in his brain all these years later even as he fought for his life.

He flipped backwards and grabbed the spare Apprentice’s lightsaber with one smooth motion, the crimson blade igniting as he landed on his feet.

He cracked a smile and recalled the refrain, even picturing the wiry Rodian as he spat rhymes, “Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say, But nothing comes out when they move their lips… Just a bunch of gibberish And motherkriffers act like they forgot about Deez..”

Strange what we remember as he launched at the Master and led with a flying knee and then kicked away her lightsaber landing and smirking with a nod holding green and crimson.

OOC: 3 Advantages total, 2 advantages for free maneuver to pick up the Apprentice lightsaber, 1 Advantage to recover strain; triumph used to disarm and move weapon to short range. Maneuver to Engage will flip Destiny if attacked.

Lightsaber vs. master - adversary 2 + Player Destiny + Ares Boost: 3eP+1eA+2eC+2eS+1eB 0 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Triumph

[Silas Myles Pearson]

Well, Silas had admit the lady knew how to dress, even if all the black and red made him want to sigh. Sure it wasn't the fashion sense of Farissa, but it wasn't bad.

Taking a moment to line up his attack he fell in a guarded stance. Though his flocking blade came up just short of breaching the masters defenses.

Manuever: guarded stance
2 strain: aim.
Action: attack

Soak 6
Melee defense: 3
Will flip destiny to upgrade defense if attacked.

[Faily]

"Tch!" the Master sneered haughtily at Byron's antics, and elegantly skirted past the jedi defenders with a flourish to recover her weapon. And with the same lightning speed, she bounced right back in with a twirling attack, robbing Byron of both his weapons.

"Surrender, and your deaths will be swift rather than glorious."

----

[Eir]

All this swooping around was too fanciful for Eir's taste, she disliked the flashiness of it, compared to her own minimalist style. As the Sith dove for her lightsaber and swung in to attack once again, the half-arkanian knocked the weapon to the ground once more, "O'vala, grab it," she growled.

[Faily]

"You insolent welp!" she shouted angrily as Eir smacked the weapon out of her hand after a vicious attack, which she had skillfully parried most of the brunt of.

[Ares Pax]

Ares' soul burned with RIGHTEOUS FURY as he swung for the unarmed Sith, but he over-extended as she side-stepped away and fell flat on his face.


---

Round 2: Ghosting Ares. Aiming twice.: 2eP+2eA+2eB+2eC+1eS 0 successes, 4 advantage, 1 Despair


2 Advantages to Boost O'vala, 1 Advantage to Boost next roller, 1 Advantage to recover 1 Strain (2 strain suffered in total now). Despair trips Ares.

[O'vala Aeser]

O'vala cartwheeled onto the saber, using one hand to stash her saber and the one that landed on the Sith's saber to take it. She ignited both sides and went for a rapid strike. Ultimately, her feint led to her swinging low for the shins, singing enough for a spinning thrust to the stomach. "Whatever victory you thought you claimed today won't be yours."

---

Maneuver: Stow lightsaber
Maneuver w/ 2 Strain: "Borrow" double-bladed lightsaber
Action: Attack!

Base Damage 8 for 14 Damage with Breach 1. Triumph to trigger Breach to hit twice.

[Faily]

The master's eyes widened. "Im---possible..." she gasped, and her legs eventually collapsed beneath her, and she fell limply to the floor.

The sounds of combat could be faintly heard elsewhere in the temple, but it seemed to be subsiding. Was it over...?

[Byron Mik]

Byron picked up his weapon and said, "Good night, sweet princess."

[Eir]

Eir shot Byron a disbelieving, quizzical look, shutting off her damaged lightsaber and examining the hilt carefully.

[O'vala Aeser]

O'vala dropped the double-bladed lightsaber onto the Sith's corpse. She had no reason to take it anymore. "I'm going to check on the others," she announced before running off to the rest of the temple. Of course, there was one particular person she was concerned about.

[Faily]

There was a sense of hope. No sounds of cheer, but with the sounds of combat now gone, there was more like a silent serene cheer...

A serene feeling that beckoned them back into the real world as the vision faded and they were back in the crystal cave...
