Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: Time to Heal
Karra's ears quivered amidst the crates, her breathing quick, yet steady. Blaster fire, faint thuds from people falling... but she didn't hear, or feel any death throes from her allies. Good. However, that also meant that while they weren't necessarily at Death's Door, they certainly were likely to require medical attention.
Karra ran out from her hiding spot, her eyes skimming over the area in front of her, to find Ara behind one of the many crates in the bay. Thankfully, her speed was enough to reach her very quickly. She looked over Ara's body superficially, although she concentrated on Ara's face. Although the mind didn't always tell the face to show emotion, pain and suffering were easily seen, if one knew what to look for. Karra quickly disconnected her medpac from her belt.
I can't apply any bandages while she has that suit on, Karra quickly realized, So it'll all depend on her body's response to an injection.
Karra quickly prepared a needle, running the calculations in her mind. 15 mg of morphine, to help dull the pain, 20 mg of bacta to be dissolved in the bloodstream to promote healing, and 15 mg of anticol, to help regulate the heart and lower blood loss from internal or external bleeding.
Yet, even as she ran calculations, her hands responded more to her feelings and intuition rather than her own calculations. She even added senticine to the serum, although she wasn't entirely sure what it was that suggested it was a good idea; her logical mind told her that senticine wouldn't do anything. Yet, she went with her intuition, and, finding a thin seam in the stormtrooper suit, she injected the serum.
(Not entirely sure diagonal is considered close enough to use Treat Injury, but if it is, that's what I'll do, using two force points on the skill check 
If I can't use Treat Injury on the diagonal... I think Karra would move around to the 'left' (on the map) of Ara, to be more sure she won't be easily fired upon, since she knows she can't heal anyone if she's felled
Oh, and for the record... I made up anticol and senticine  )

Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: Let's try again...
As she stepped up, Karra levelled the pistol so that it would point at the trooper's side. She knew that the bolt would only incapacitate him if it was successful, but she didn't want to hit any really vital spots either and risk collateral damage by a weapon malfunction. The trooper seemed to be slightly on the shaken side, hopefully an indication that he was nearly finished. She could hear the cannon of the sled in the back, as well as cries of pain that were obviously from her allies, but she couldn't do anything about that at the moment. In any case, Karra pulled on the trigger, and just hoped.
(One more shot on this trooper... with a force point boost to damage please )

Subject: Oooh...
Meri can handle the computers... and I can babble about sci-fi lore that may or may not be accurate regarding placeable amoebas of unusual size
Although, if the medic isn't done, I could do that too... I guess I'll have to wait and see what concept strikes me first *nods*

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: Not as bad as it could be
Afraid I can't do much to help just yet... but Karra should be able to put you two back together
A side question though... is the force point to increase damage only available for lightsabers? Stun damage is actually quite low... so it could use the boost in my case; I'll use that this round if it is possible.

Topic: Auguries of Destruction - The Clock Tower
Subject: Food for thought
"A... busy house?" The woman laughed, "No, not really; those people you hear just find that it feels safer in the inn than their own houses. We haven't had a true customer in weeks, not since the clock tower began turning things upside down."
"Oh, and sir," She added, turning to Bas and seeing him start heading down the hallway, "If you want to visit the seer, he's taken to leaving his door unlocked. It's impossible to miss; the door is velveteen blue, unlike the royal blue of most other doors, with a strange pattern on it. Although, I should tell you that most people find he leaves you with more questions than answers."
"But as to accommodations..." The woman continued, turning back to Eve, "Well, just choose whatever room you'd like, provided it's unoccupied. You'll find that money isn't an issue here; the merchants almost all packed up and left when this mess began. There should be a first aid kit in each bathroom."

Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: A simple shot
The hair at the back of Karra's neck stood on end as she felt the heat of the blaster shot that flew past her. She had faintly hoped that the stormtrooper would at least feign unconsciousness so that she wouldn't have to follow through with her attack. She was a medic, not a soldier; deep down, she didn't really believe anyone to deserve death. Thankfully, her blaster was always set to stun. So, she raised the pistol and fired.
(Standard attack with pistol on stun.
If ST#1 is still standing and shooting, 5ft advance on them)
They're just not going down! Karra thought in disbelief, as she cautiously moved closer to her quarry.
(If ST#1 is felled, Karra will move up and to the right, so she's hidden amidst the containers, using an untrained stealth check if possible... I can't seem to find the rules for hiding, much less how much time in actions it takes)
Karra quickly stepped over the fallen stormtrooper's body, taking refuge amongst the canisters to her right. She crouched, keeping her frame against the far canisters, and hoping she'd be overlooked for the moment.

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: Question
Doesn't Karra get AoO on the trooper for their backing up?
If you look under AoO's on page 155, in the diagram on that page it shows that even taking a 5ft step provokes one.
If the trooper still backs up, Karra would use her gun, which is set to stun by default since she isn't one to kill.
So, let me know what you do. If the shot misses, or if the trooper doesn't move, there's no real need to send out a new map; since it's just ST#1, I can see pretty easily where he is... he doesn't have very many places to choose from after all

Topic: Witchcraft: Stare into the Night
Subject: A question with no answer...
"Aww... soft..." Alice murmured, as she ran her hand over Smoke's body, kind of surprised that the cat had stayed there, but happy about it too. It had been a long time since she had felt fur before, and the last one was...
She blinked. Her mind drew up a slight blank.
"Hmm..." She wondered, thinking for a moment. Was it a cat... or...
Then she remembered. It was a cat... Jen's cat... the cat named Tabby. She regarded the cat carefully... no, this one wasn't Tabby; this one's fur was more... almost smoke-like.
Then Alice noticed someone else nearby. She looked up and saw a woman approach and kneel by her. For some reason, she felt comforting in a way, and... Alice could feel that she was... strong... although she couldn't exactly place that feeling. Everyone around her felt differently to her, a select few strong, some mediocre, but most calm, in a way, like a puddle of water sitting still and undisturbed.
Before she could think about it further, her train of thought was interrupted by the woman's voice, also calm, comforting... soothing in a way.
"Hello little one," Penelope said with a smile letting the channeled essence wrap itself around her words to lend all she said the power of persuasion. "Where is your mother? You should not be wandering the streets so by yourself."
"Mother?" Alice repeated, "Um..."
It was in her hesitance that perhaps revealed the most; she actually could not remember. In one memory, her mother was there, as was her father, but in the next, both were gone.
"I... don't know." She replied honestly, "But I've been alone for a while now, so it can't be too bad, right?"
As she spoke, the minute hand of the mark on her forehead shifted slightly, marking the passage of another minute...

Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: Now where's a portable hole when you need one?
Karra's feline eyes quickly surveyed her surroundings. Already she had trepidations regarding this venture... but it was far too late to back down now. All that could be done was to do what could be done. There was no place for fear or hesitation.
"Ara!" Karra called, "I'll need you to get the door to the operations room open when you can get to it. The sooner the better. Everyone else, we need to try to take them out, one at a time if we must, especially the one on that sled."
Her grip tightened on the pistol in her hand. She really didn't want to ever use it... but now she would have to. However, it would be better to fire from behind cover. She quickly moved forward. All at once, she realized just how much weight she had actually been carrying; her legs nearly carried her farther than she expected in a leap. It also was a clear indication of just how 'tame' she had become, as her father would say, since her agility and reflexes were not up to par. She turned, to move behind the set of storage containers and-
"Oh!" Karra nearly cried out in surprise. There was a trooper already there.
There was no thought. She continued up to the trooper and lashed out with her left hand, claws extended. Almost immediately afterwards, she brought the same hand back, curved around, to slash at the same trooper again.
(Actions:
Move: going up to ST#1
Standard: Melee attack with claw
Swift: Reactive Claw attack
Hoping it works...)

Karra would've likely just passed it back to Ara, seeing as it is her bag. *nods*
As to starting fresh... well... it's a bit early for me to tell yet... I'd rather decide once we get to the end of this chapter

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: More than one reason
While it's true that there is a panel behind us, we can't take it for granted; there may be overriding controls in the operations room.
In addition, the operations room may have other controls we may need to get at either now or later... the hangar doors/barrier (between 'inside' and 'outside' space) for one thing, whether it's closing them to prevent the shuttle from simply leaving and going to a different hangar, or opening them for our escape.
Finally, the operations room would provide a fair bit of cover, and I wouldn't think they'd risk blasting the controls with the sled's cannon.
For the same reason, that's why I want to get into the operations room as well, so a trooper doesn't get the idea to blast the controls after sealing off the hangar bay and trapping us. Karra has claws, so she could easily drop her gun after going in to avoid shooting the controls as well.
At least, that's my line of thinking...

Is the door to the operations room open as far as we can see, and if it isn't, does it look like there's another way in? (like a hopefully glass window)

Topic: Witchcraft: Stare into the Night
Subject: To be followed... but are you sure you want to be following?
As Alice wandered down the way she was headed, she kept alert of the people around her. She was looking for someone after all, so she needed to be paying attention. Although, she didn't see any people fitting her memory of Jen, and she would've been pretty easy to spot amidst the crowd... a girl just an inch shorter than her, with a braid of dark hair at either shoulder down the back, wearing a kimono with a floral pattern.
Yet, she paused for a moment, looking around. She could've sworn she heard someone.
LET ME OUT!
Alice blinked. She definitely heard something that time, but it was a bit hard to tell where it came from... or, more specifically, who had said that, and it didn't look like anyone else heard it... maybe she was just hearing things.
She had only gotten halfway down the block when she felt it. The unmistakable sensation that one was being watched. She looked around one more time, before she saw a pair of golden eyes looking at her. The golden eyes of a cat. Or was it a cat? It was hard to tell... her vision blurred over the cat, and it just felt like there was something different about it...
But then again, she felt that way with many things... and so wasn't overly concerned. She stopped and turned to approach the cat, leaning over slightly.
"Hello kitty." Alice said, her voice innocent, gentle, perhaps even sweet, but strangely identical to the Alice that Smoke met in Janelle's memory, "Are you out for a walk today too?"
Alice tentatively reached out with her hand, offering it to the cat. She didn't really expect it to stay still; most animals and even some people she held out her hand to generally ran away, but she held out her hand anyway. It was almost habit for her.

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: I would think...
That you just post your actions, unless you need input from someone else first, in which case it'd be a good idea to ask. There's no real reason to post initiative order, since that can potentially slow the game down with people waiting on other people if they have time to post.

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Where dice are involved...
I don't think there's such a thing as random... *gives the purple dice another paranoid glance*
But sure, I'm all for just rolling along with the story, as Eol suggested, with dice consultation only when it would be useful
And hopefully Smoke won't be too flat when Alice is done with her

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Hmm
I dunno about combat... Alice is more likely just to pick Smoke up and start petting her, at least at this point
But as to dice... maybe we can unofficially and unanimously appoint an oblivious Sib-kun to be the dice roller! 
Joking aside... I'm pretty sure we can trust each other enough not to fudge dice rolls... *paranoid glances back and forth*
That being said... in my opinion, the role play comes first and takes priority over the dice; if the roll is really detrimental and really out of place, then there probably should be the option to re-roll, although I do find that such rolls actually do sometimes fit the situation...
Trust the dice peoples, trust the dice

There's been a bit of planning going on whilst I was asleep...
Well, I think I'll wait on posting just yet so that Nimu can put in Penelope's input *nods*
I wonder how Alice will take to being followed by a person and a cat... although, she'll probably be easily distracted by the cat before she notices the other person

Meri - Janelle's just sleeping peacefully right now
Eol - It's only the ones in proximity, and that proximity is about 20~30ft, so yeah, only Alex's watch and the front door right now
Nimu - If she's at the front door as I presume, she definitely can feel Alice

Subject: Last Preparations...
"Once we're in, we'll have to try to lock the door behind us." Karra reasoned, "and to do that, I'd imagine the controls are probably in the operations room, so I'll try to get to the room... I do have a bit of a knack with computers..."
Then she considered her gear... although she had long since been used to it, it still meant she was slower than she could be, and if she had to reach the room, she probably would have to reach it as fast as she could. Taking two medpacs from one of the pockets of her backpack kit, she set the pack on the ground, while hooking the medpacs to her belt for easy access.
"I can run faster if I don't carry my backpack.... it may matter, or it might not... but in case it does, could one of you carry it for me? It's heavier than it looks..." Karra asked.

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Post up!
Well... I guess the one unanswered thing is... why would a ward that isn't "real" detect Alice's presence...
I thought this out before, but I can't quite remember at the moment... I know it has something to do with the ink that Janelle used to write the ward with, which is reacting to the presence of Taint.
On another note, if this is a bit too off-track for the plotline, I can edit so that Alice isn't necessarily right by Alex's office... it's not set in stone.
