Day 8 Emperor fight OOC

[Dapper Dog]

For the Immortal her base Discipline is 2 red and 2 purple aand 2 setback for Conditioning.

[Xyll Vanth]

Quick, someone step on the Guard's hand.

[Lord Tenebrous]

What would the difficulty be for making the Immortal Guard let go?

[Dapper Dog]

Killing her.

[Dapper Dog]

Killing her.

Maybe a Disarm I guess.

[Dayana Valthren]

Yeah, maybe should stab her off lol. Although your dad might need help!

[Lord Tenebrous]

Go ahead and take a stab if you wanna, we need to remove the Guard at some point to prevent them from rejoining and continue buffing the Emprah.

Unless someone else wants a go at it?

[Dayana Valthren]

I can do so or I can do something else. I have no attachment to any particular approach.

[Lord Tenebrous]

Next up is a PC.

There's a floating Boost for whoever is next.

Jo'ren has a positive upgrade from Shaisha's Triumph.

[Dayana Valthren]

I say we let Jo'ren take the boost and lay down the pain.

[Lord Jo'ren Rath]

Let's see if I can break through that defense!

Edit: What's the Emperor at now the Guard is toast?

[Jaheem Abasi]

I believe in you!

[Jaheem Abasi]

Also since the guard left the scene for now at least wont the body guard upgrades go away

[Lord Tenebrous]

Let's see if I can break through that defense!

Edit: What's the Emperor at now the Guard is toast?

Should be Adversary 5, Sense 2, and Defense 4, I believe without the Bodyguard upgrades.

[Lord Jo'ren Rath]

Okay, three advantage.

I could disarm him with Djem So (over the edge so no recovering). Or I could remove his 4 defense setback dice for the rest of the round.

[Dayana Valthren]

Hmm I suppose Parry is a thing. But I feel like the Emperor probably has enough Force magic that being able to smack him more easily is better for us.

[Lord Tenebrous]

I would vote disarming, but they're both very good options!

And Dayana's point is very good too!

[Lord Jo'ren Rath]

Disarming means he can't hit and crit twice per attack.

[Lord Tenebrous]

As I see it


Disarming:
- removes chances of Parrying
- Most of us don't have Cortosis to stand up to Lightsaber-hits (most Force Powers let you benefit from normal Soak).
- Might lower Defense?

Removing Defense:
- Removes 4 Setback dice for one round
- Most of us can't ignore Setback dice of that magnitude

There's also the possibility that he can just Force Move it back to his hand, or have abilities to avoid Disarm attempts though.

[Jaheem Abasi]

Disarming is good since it will take a lot of luck either way to hit him and denying him parry seems good
