I will be updating the game rather early tomorrow because around noon I'll be going to my home town for the Easter vacation. That means that if you intend to get a post in, you better get them in tonight if you want enough time to write it. Note that I'm on GMT time (+/-0) so have your post ready before noon tomorrow. Preferably sooner so that I can read it over before posting.

Also, because I will be out of town and without my computer for the weekend, it is unlikely that I will be able to make a proper update until Wednesday next week. So tomorrow will most likely be the last update for a week.

Enjoy your holidays, I am so far.

My new schedule has me working three 12-hour shifts in a row, then one day off, then a fourth 12 hour day, then 2 days off. So depending on when the updates hit - I will probably not be able to post, as I don't do much but sleep and eat between shifts.

If that's going to slow the game down too much feel free to drop me and NPC/auction off my guys. Wookie slave trade ftw.

(sorry posted this to the main game - I moved it)

Edit: that being said - I'll have a post sometime in the next 6 hours or so after I get some chores done. I also work 1700-0500 Eastern, so I'm usually up odd hours (in this time zone at least).

Not sure if you included it with the last round of combat, but Benjamin also has the class feature "block" (similar to deflect... basicly negates melee attacks using a Use the Force check).

Anyway, if I fail to include it in my in-post OOCs, please assume that Ben is at least attempting to block and deflect incoming attacks.

I hope to post tonight too.

The update's up. Some of you may feel that this is unfair, such as an enemy should have died from what ever happened or that his character shouldn't have fallen, but I'm just using the system provided by the book.

To recap what has happened.

Benjamin is currently prone. He rolled a natural 1 on his second attack. I didn't feel like a Jedi could do something as clumsy as drop his lightsaber or trip himself, so I added a little flavour and had Malis push him down. There was no roll made and Benjamin suffered no damage from this.

Kate disabled one Mandalorian with an attack of opportunity, but didn't manage to kill him. He is still alive if you want to do a coup de grace.

Ramming your vehicle into anything also deals damage to your vehicle and all passangers. I gave Arruna the benefit of the speeder's DR though. She could have dealt more damage if she had gone at full speed (4d6 instead of 2d6) but her speeder and herself would have suffered as much.

Awvoor got a lucky shot at the battledroid and dealt a good deal of 48 damage to it (the damage listed with the droid in the Initiative order includes the droid's SR).
And of course, Wrrlwarr ran into the ship.

Now, for more personal matters.
Admiral, if you still want to play in this game I would be glad to have you with us a bit longer. If you won't post, I can NPC your characters. Feel free to do what you like, I won't force you to do anything. Send me a PM either way so that I know if you will be continuing with us or not.

And that was the last update before Easter. I'm going out of town in few hours, and although I can post something I won't be taking any of the game's data with me. So no books, no stats and no mapping tool.
That of course means you have a whole week before next update, so I recommend you take your time before posting.
And the maps for this update will be up shortly.

Enjoy the Easter holiday and just have fun in general. GM out.

Yay, and I knew what I'd be doing by ramming. Glad I took out it's shields though.

Fowl play on the siths side! But he's a sith cat, never trust a cat.

Thanks for updating so regulary. Have a good holiday.

I hope you've all had a good time this Easter

I'm not back home yet but I will be going back home tomorrow, so I wanted to remind you guys that I will be updating the game this Wednesday as planned (that is assuming, of course, that I have something to update).

That is everything I had to say right now. Live whole and carefree until we meet again

EDIT: After seeing that Ayrn had posted in the game thread:
I'm fairly certain you can only spend one Force Point per turn. So you could spend one to increase the damage of the Force Slam or you can spend one to increase the likelihood of success (+1d6 unless you have the appropriate feats and/or talents). There might be a feat, talent or Class ability that allows you to spend more than one FP per turn, but I'd need my books to find it and be certain.

So, let's use the FP to increase the likelihood of the Force Slam being successful.

The update's in da house, and a good one to boot.

Here's some spoilers:

Benjamin defeated and killed Darth Malis, thanks to the big cat's incompetence with Force Powers and a natural 1 on his roll to use one. Because of that, I gave Benji a free use of his Rebuke (which apparently is a reaction anyway). Anywho, the Rebuke was so successful that Malis suffered the full effect of the Force Lightning and was killed. Yay!

Both the Mandalorian and the battle droid had full cover from where Kate was originally standing, so I moved her further and did not fire a single shot. She now has a clear shot at the Mandalorian and can move just a little bit to get a good shot at the battle droid.

Arruna's speeder suffered some damage but is still fully operational. Arruna herself is still in one piece and is still battling that droid.

Awvoor missed the Mandalorian and Wrrlwarr is just standing there. So there's not really much to tell.

So what's left? A Mandalorian and a droid. That blast door is also still closed in case you're gonna open it. Just, you know, FYI.

The Maps will be ready shortly.

EDIT: Shortly as in "later today." I've got a class to get to first and then I'll send them in.

Yay! Bu-bye kitty!

Hmmm... think we could make a nice rug from his skin?


Anyway, unless y'all have strong objections... I'd like to open the blast doors and get the Embassador.

Objections?

We Finnish off the combat droid and mandalorian first.

What does Finland have to do with it?

I know, stupid joke. I just had to say it.

The maps for last round have been added.

On the first one we have Arruna, Kate and that battle droid shooting flame.
On the second one we have Benjamin and Darth Malis (now dead) with Benjamin's Force Slam marked in the cone effect.
On the third one we have an overview over the current situation, so you can see where you stand in regards to everyone else (although they do appear a bit small.
Awvoor and Wrrlwarr can only just barely be seen on that last one at the very top, but since they haven't moved out of the ship yet it doesn't really matter that much. That's also why I didn't include a special map for them.

If you have any questions about the maps, feel free to ask.

Quick though - we need to scoot before Darth Kitty's friends come looking for him.

How about Ben goes for the hatch. Ithorian takes out the Mandalorian with the ship's big guns. Kate and Twi'lekie girl put down the droid.

I hope to post late tonight... but it might not be til tomorrow night. Busy at work this weekend.
