Sharn reaches out with the Force and calls upon the dark side, maybe it's the place? Sharn expends 8 vitality.

Sharn can feel the massive tuskbeast in his force grip but just as he begins to lift the creature, a flash of the ghost of Marcus Ragnar appears in his mind. The haunted spirit smiles at the realization that Sharn is a Force user and a dark sliding one at that.

yes, the first is a crit!

what are you firing?  I thought it was your rotary.... which should be 3d8, but I can't tell what dice\bonus you are rollling

The Trando is WOUNDED, -2 to str\dex, no run\charge and takes another hit from the 3rd shot.


The Nikto Seer mutters, "varshnach, Geedi!" and takes a 2m step away from Daxx.  He raises his staff in the air and stretches out his other hand towards Daxx.  A pale green aura forms around the Seer and reaches out to Daxx.  Daxx can feel something being drained away from him.....

Rakhu's deadly barrage nails the Trandoshan.  The Trandoshan dies, for a second time, on a pile of rocks.  Rakhu is reminded of an old Rodian proverb, "When God hath ordained a creature to die in a particular place, He causeth that creature's wants to direct him to that place."  (Lyet Kynes, Rodian Planetologist)

Nicely done dude!

I will update the map when I get home tonight, but this was the last map, not including Rakhu's and Daxx's recent steps

The Tuskbeast's strength would be considerable on it's own as a Huge sized beast, plus +4 strength (+2 Will save) since it has Wraith archtype from being possessed by a Sith Ghost..... there are other Sith-possessed traits too, but you haven't discovered those yet, some beneficial.... some detrimental to the Ghost   

A lightsaber, though a medium wpn, CAN be used with wpn finesse, so I would definitely allow Daxx to swing it 1 handed while grappled, though a fumble would certainly hit Daxx in that case.

Fort save fail. Sharn unconscious.

Rakhu wonders, "what IS that block with the "?" On it?"

So, after re-reading the last page of this thread, looks like I'd forgotten to calculate damage for flying debris. With a failed reflex save, the additional 6 points of damage put Sharn at -2.

Congrats DM, you've eliminated my character by the 2nd round!

Oh, I forgot to mention, the Force Whirlwind ended when Daxx killed the Nikto Seer.

T'son does hit the Sith Ghost for 18, just barely

Sorry Rob, it is the big boss fight, he hits hard.   Sharn isn't dead you know, he is just at -2 and dying.  He will bleed out for -1\rd until either he stabilizes (fort check each round), gets healed or reaches -10 when he is actually dead.

Too bad you didn't activate your 20 point force field on your turn.  Or your Invisibility field.    

And before I forget (again) Sharn slides from +10 LS to 0 for calling on the dark side in this place of strong evil.

navyik wrote:Rakhu wonders, "what IS that block with the "?" On it?"

It is actually a "7", not a "?".  It is just part of the original map jpeg that I couldn't get rid of.  there are actually other blocks (1-6) like that, but I covered them with statues



Sharn's turn passes at 5.  But before the round ends.....  

From the darkness of his unconscious state, Sharn thinks he can hear Thana speaking to him Shyriiwook , but somehow he knows that can't be true.  Sharn wonders if he is dead and is hearing the voice of a Wookie Valkyrie come to bear him to ancestors at last.  Sharn can see the Halls of Heroes, that the skalds describe, filled with the mighty Wookies of his clan.  Sharn feels welcome amongst his brothers.   Suddenly the vision falls away into the mists.  Sharn feels a giant hand reach into the afterlife and pull him back to this world.  

Sharn's senses begin to return to him.... in the distance he can hear the sound of Rakhu's whirling rotary cannon, Daxx's lightsaber humming and the terrible sounds of the great tuskbeast chewing on his Jedi friend.

Sharn is healed 4 wound points to 2.

Sharn's eyes crack open and he sees Thana kneeling above him.  



She is indeed whispering to him in Shyriiwook.  Sharn hears, "Not yet, my beloved.  Your work in this life is not complete.  I need you, Mighty Sharn.  Our daughter needs you."


Daxx is too busy being masticulated, but T'son and Rakhu catch a glimpse of Thana racing to Sharn's side and kneeling down.  She appears to be whispering in his ear.

Can Daxx make a full attack in his current state?

whit10 wrote:Can Daxx make a full attack in his current state?

hmmm..... good question

PF says about "Grappled"

Grappled: A grappled creature is restrained by a creature, trap, or effect. Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.

A grappled creature cannot use Stealth to hide from the creature grappling it, even if a special ability, such as hide in plain sight, would normally allow it to do so. If a grappled creature becomes invisible, through a spell or other ability, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus on its CMD to avoid being grappled, but receives no other benefit.

While it says you cannot move, it doesn't say anything about taking a full round action. Apply the listed penalties -2 attack and -4 dex (which affects wpn finesse), so -4 total to attack rolls, and go for it.

I have to disagree on one point... the -4 to Dex I think is only supposed affect things like AC (Defense in our case)... I think the -2 to attack is the only penalty I suffer... the movement thing makes complete sense.

here's his attacks.. do what you want with the penalties I guess (these are calculated with the -4 penalty) which again, I don't think is fair (given that it's a double penalty)

I think if the intention was to penalize DC, they would have just said that.  It is only a double penalty if you use a Dex based attack, but that is your choice knowing that Dex is reduced as well as BAB.

both are hits and the 2nd is a crit.  The possessed Tuskbeast groans in pain as Daxx slashes his face.  He is now wounded, though he makes his save to stay conscious.

The wounded beast attempts to Swallow Daxx Whole, per the ability.  

Swallow Whole (Ex) If a creature with this special attack begins its turn with an opponent grappled in its mouth (see Grab), it can attempt a new combat maneuver check (as though attempting to pin the opponent). If it succeeds, it swallows its prey, and the opponent takes bite damage. Unless otherwise noted, the opponent can be up to one size category smaller than the swallowing creature. Being swallowed causes a creature to take damage each round. The amount and type of damage varies and is given in the creature's statistics. A swallowed creature keeps the grappled condition, while the creature that did the swallowing does not. A swallowed creature can try to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon (the amount of cutting damage required to get free is equal to 1/10 the creature's total hit points), or it can just try to escape the grapple. The Armor Class of the interior of a creature that swallows whole is normally 10 + 1/2 its natural armor bonus, with no modifiers for size or Dexterity. If a swallowed creature cuts its way out, the swallowing creature cannot use swallow whole again until the damage is healed. If the swallowed creature escapes the grapple, success puts it back in the attacker's mouth, where it may be bitten or swallowed again.

Dax has been swallowed - but can still try to escape, even without a light weapon = see the rules quote "or it can just try to escape the grapple."

I hope it's not TPK.... but sometimes the baddies win (they get paid too)

Daxx can use his lightsaber, escape, force lightning, force strike..... many options

  The Force energy network, circuited through the crystals, as seen via See Force, had larger conduits all leading back to a central area.  No one has attempted See Force again, but it shouldn't take much of a guess as to where the hub lies.....

We have discussed since day 1 that using force lightning and force strike do NOT give dark side points. That was in the house rules on the force and you even commented once that you liked that interpretation\use of the rules. Both Force Lightning and Force Strike can be used untrained.

"Daxx Tay-Nari, Jedi (sort of)" has been a short tempered rager, who doesn't like the Jedi way, the Jedi, wearing robes or following their rules.... nope, doesn't fit at all   

grapple can be escaped with skill as well as brute strength

T'son can see all the major channels of force energy feeding back through the crystals, through tuskbeast and into the heart of the Temple itself.

I'm not going to bother to argue with you Chris, use of force lightning and what not SHOULD give dark side points if used against the living. I know you made changes, I just don't agree with them on that point. I never agreed with allowing them to be used against the living w/o incurring a darkside point. And stop trying to get me to use the dark side so that this Sith piece of shit can possess Daxx

As for Escape... yeah, check my stats. Doubt that will work, I'll just have to slice him open, only option that could actually work.
