[Day 5 - LA] Monolithic

[Dapper Dog]

The Alpha pawed at all these prey trying to climb it… Mahr was mighty with his attack but all that it did was leave a minor nick in the skin of this creature. Any lesser thing would be dead but the monolith was obviously not a lesser creature.

OOC: Wounds soaked, no critical injury.

[Ensign Pierce]

Ensign Pierce contacted the team, “This is Ensign pierce, we got reports of bloody artillery fire in your sector? Have you made contact with the monolith? We routed a juvenile, that’s what them experts said anyways.”

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Upon review, I am not seeing an Athletics check or Coordination check from Remington so will assume he attacked the lower body for no wounds and no Critical Injury.

[Xyll Vanth]

Xyll shouted into her comms:

"Get the hell over here with your guns!"

As she did so, she threw another big rock at the thing, but failed to hit it.

"Damn it," she hissed, then took a swig from that vile bloodwine she'd gotten the other day.

Force Move, Destiny, 2 free advantage from Hin, Silhouette 2: 4eP+2eC+1eS 0 successes, 2 advantage


1 maneuver to drink bloodwine, heals 5, +1 soak, -2 strain


4 advantage, 2 to give any allied character a boost on their attack. 1 advantage to give next ally a boost, 1 advantage to heal strain.

Mira meanwhile, still next to her master, once more attempted to cloud the creatures mind in order to hide Xyll from its vision.

Mira Thano: Misdirect again.: 1eF 2 Light Side


Destiny spend to convert LS, 1DS to activate, 1DS to upgrade range. Alpha should not be able to see Xyll.


Strain: 13/17
Wounds: 11/12
Defense: 1
Soak: 5

[Dapper Dog]

The hide seems less thinner here but the mature monolith hide even in these weakened areas does not yield to the attacks of the Sith. It thrashes and reaches for Remmington snatching him up then roaring in his face as it constricted the Sith and then tossed him aside looking at the others with fury!

This one would obviously not go down as easily as the juvenile. The massive creature cocked it’s head as if hearing something and then leapt u onto the cliff side face covering a massive distance in one powerful bound.

OOC: The Alpha deals 16 wounds to Remmington, using 3 advantage to Crit, 1 to recover strain and Triumph to fling him to Medium range. Suffers three strain to move to Long of the group. Adversary 2, Defense 1.

Anyone who climbed on is still hanging on for dear life I suppose.

Monolith Alpha vs. Remmington Brawl: 3eP+4eA+2eD+1eS 4 successes, 4 advantage, 1 Triumph

[Ensign Pierce]

“This is Pierce, we have you in sight my Lord, this bird has shite for real weapons… and bloody hell that’s the biggest tone I have ever seen. There was supposed to be one of them smaller ones, you lot are bloody crazy,” Ensign Pierce shouted over the comm.

OOC: He will arrive at the end of the turn.

[Lord Jo'ren Rath]

"We killed the smaller one Pierce. Get over here."

Gritting his teeth Lord Rath summoned all of his strength, all of the knowledge he had gained from the Massassi, and the sheer stubborn will to survive.

He struck the Monolith a mighty blow, cutting into its weak points. It did little actual overall damage but his strikes were deadly and accurate.

[Xyll Vanth]

Xyll pulled up another boulder from nearby, and sent it flying toward the creature as it climbed up the cliff. She was pretty sure she wouldn't hit her allies this time, so long as she restricted the size of the boulder; though if it went tumbling that would be a different matter.

It struck the beast; though whether it would even notice was unclear.

Move, silhouette 2, 2 free advantage still from Hin, Destiny: 4eP+2eF+2eC+1eS 1 success, 1 threat, 3 Dark Side


1 maneuver to move back to medium range, 2 free advantage to not hit allies, 1 advantage to give boost to next allied character. 1 DS to activate Move, 1 DS to activate strength upgrades, 1DS to activate range upgrades.

21 damage inflicted.


Mira, meanwhile, cursed something under her breath as the creature moved out of range of her power, and followed her master into medium range, trying to space herself out a little so that she and Xyll didn't make an easy target. Once she was closer, she tried to hide her master from the creature's vision again... but the force did not comply.

(1 maneuver to move into medium. 1DS to activate power, but can't activate range upgrades, so can't affect creature)

Mira Thano: Misdirect attempt: 1eF 1 Dark Side

Mahr Swung his axe against the beast and connected with great force. Managing to hang on he laughed triumphantly.

[Lord Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren parried away the worst of the attack (takes 2 wounds, 3 strain).

From her vantage point Lt. Hin attempted to provide useful advice one again. 'Hit it really hard in the same spot' seemed redundant. She pulled out the data goggles, dialed up a Xenology program, and gave out some advice over the comms.

Pierce arrives and tries to aim a missile tube at the creature as it descends from the sky but the shot goes wide and blasts into the Cliffside knocking the massive creature prone!

Pierce shouted, “If you are going to do something now is the time!”

OOC: Miss, grant a boost die to next ally, and utilize 3 advantage to knock the Alpha prone.

[Dapper Dog]

The alpha shudders as it backhands Jo’ren smashing his lightsaber damaging it… but the damage was done and it ceased to move after as black purple blood began to pool from the weakened spot.

Ensign Pierce had the transport land some distance away.

OOC: Gain 5 Influence and the respect of Bex and the Massassi.

[Xyll Vanth]

Xyll was about to fling another boulder at it while it was down, but then it stopped moving as a result of Jo'ren's strike. Not entirely convinced it was dead yet, she started to approach, a boulder floating alonside her as she did, just in case; at least until she saw the thing was indeed dead from up close, at which point she released it.

"Might've been done quicker," she said to nobody in particular, "but good enough."

At which point she looked up at jo'ren, who was presumably still on top.

"What do you say we see about what sort of trophy we can carve from these things?"

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington makes his way back with the group. Despite his injuries he smirks at the others.

"You know... every time we seem to meet up it seems to be a crazy party Jo'ren, Mahr, Tyr." He nods to Xyll.
"Good to have you with us as well Lord Nyx."

Upon bringing up the idea of trophies he offers a suggestion. "I was thinking of taking one of the heads. Make a nice trophy and conversation piece to hang up."

He tries to move his right arm. Nope... definitely broken. Speaking of broken things. He looks at Jo'ren's lightsaber.

"Hey Jo'ren, do you want some help fixing that?"
