STARLIGHT Crystal Ball (Episode 2)

17+12+5=34vs18 success 4hp-1hp=3hp

Dread Agent falls on the cold ground and quickly rolls up in kneeling position, holding for the shoulder where the both Jedi were able to hit him. He leans on his spear saber and stands up, focusing his attention at Axo now. He thought better to dispatch of weaklings first before he fully gives himself in to the Jedi. Dread Agent makes move against Axo.

Turns: Lin'drala > Barracudas > Axo > Dread Agent

Axo charges towards the dread agent, its either stupid or brave move, or both. He decides to use the environment to his advantage, the slippy surface of the Ilum, so he throws himself on the ground to slips in half lying position, with his feet aiming to hit legs of the Dread Agent.

14+6+5=25vs18 success 3hp-1hp=2hp

Axo successfully trips the Dread Agent with his slipping move, and the Dread Agent falls on the ground again. He gets up holding for his helmet, probably because he hit with it in the ground when he fell. But he quickly recovers and uses his spear saber to hit the ground in front of him. The ice and snow dust rise in front of him clouding him from the sight of the crew. When the snow dust falls down, he was no longer visible. Dread Agent laughs somewhere in the cave, his voice is echoing but its hard to discover from which direction is he coming. Dread Agent is hiding and moves from one spot to other, prepared to deliver the sneak attack (4dps 18dc) to a crew member who has the lowest awareness DC.

Barracudas closes her eyes and focuses on the force. "There is no emotion, there is peace."

Lin: 16+8+5=29vs18 success
Barra: 13+5+5=23vs18 success
Axo: 18+5+5=28vs18 success

Everyone detected the Dread Agent, but Lin saw him first, clouded in the mist of cold. The Dread Agent moves towards Padawan Barracudas. Because the dread agent is detected, he cannot deliver sneak attack, only basic attack (2dps).

Turns: Lin'drala > Barracudas > Axo > Dread Agent

Inspiration Ended

Lin'drala strikes Dread Agent before he was able to strike her padawan. Dread Agent falls back from the Jedi Master and growls.

Turns: Lin'drala > Barracudas > Axo > Dread Agent

Taking note of the anger and the various wounds, Barracudas feels victory coming closer. "C'mon we're almost there, let's finish him of."

While the jedi deal with the Dread Agent, Axo uses his chance to hide from the Dread Agent. The Dread Agent is not the only one who knows to use stealth skills, Axo would think.

Bara 18+12.5=30.5vs18 success
Axo 5+15+5=25vs18 success (bonus 12.5 DC to next turn)

Dread Agent rises on his feet, as non, nor Barracudas nor Axo decided to attack him. Barracudas keeps inspiring the crew during the battle, and Axo decided to use the same dirty tricks as the Dread Agent. Dread Agent charges towards Lin'drala, and performs the series of attacks against her, with spear saber. (3x2DPS, Lin can use 3 rolls to counter).

Turns: Lin'drala > Barracudas > Axo > Dread Agent

13+9+5=27vs18 success 1hp-1hp=0hp
14+9+5=28vs18 success 0hp-1hp=-1hp
15+9+5=29vs18 success -1hp-1hp=-2hp

Jedi Master skillfully defends herself from each strike made by the Dread Agent, and with her strength breaks through his spear saber, hitting him badly three times. Dread Agents groans and quickly retreats towards the glass room. He presses buttons on his arm where he downloaded information about the gree artifact. But it looks like he did more than just information gathering. The artifact inside reacts to his remote control on his arm, and shoots a beam of radiation through the glass, passing through it and regenerating Dread Agent by his natural life force (-2hp+5hp=3hp). When the beam ends, Dread Agents turns towards the crew and laughs. It seems that the agent now has some control over the gree artifact, but because Jedi Lin'drala damaged him good enough, he is not in fully recovered, despite of the help of the artifact.

Phase 2 of 3
3HP, 18DC, Base 2DPS
Immunities: Diplomacy, Intimidate
Phase 2 Power: Ice Spikes (aoe 2x2dps vs each crew member)

Turns: Lin'drala > Barracudas > Axo > Dread Agent

Seeing the artifact shooting the beam at him after he tapped the device on his arm, she moves in to remove that advantage of him. "Looks like someone still has some tricks up his sleeve. Not that they will save you or anything." She comments, while at the same time trying to hit the device on his arm.

2+12+5=19vs18 success 3hp-1hp=2hp

Reflexively Dread Agent places his arm to protect himself against the attack of the padawan, Barracudas hit him in the arm under angle that destroying the device but it does not cut of the arm off. Without it Dread Agent can no longer control the Gree Artifact, however, all secrets that were locked in the device are not forever lost, and their secret remains between the Dread Masters. Dread Agent rages at Barracudas and attacks her back with his spear saber.

Turns: Lin'drala > Barracudas > Axo > Dread Agent
