Our darling sergeant had best check his room before he enters -- it'd be terrible if bedbombs had infected his room!

Tiny radioactive bedbombs. With scuttling little feet. *shifty eyes*

In all seriousness though, it'll be interesting to see who ends up the least ruthful. But given the situation, I don't think Lilly'll have a real chance to try it out. Unless she can detonate the power generator and set the Wheel on fire.

Although is that ruthless or homicidal? Hmm...

Are you adding a force point to an attack roll? Did you add Staen's +5 bonus when you do that?

Uh-oh. What have I done here?

I don't think any of our party are exactly candidates for beatification. That said, I'll refrain from entering Graff into The Grand Imperial Ruth-Off: he's not a nice guy by any means, and if he feels pushed or threatened he's apt to shoot a sucker in the face without warning (and won't feel even a little bit bad about that, either); but if his mission parameters don't specify No Survivors he'll usually let non-Sith "loose ends" go in the hope of exploiting them again another time. I don't envision Graff as Evil... exactly... necessarily... More like early-ANH Han Solo by way of Little Bill Daggett, with just a tiny pinch of Jayne Cobb mixed in as well. Hmm. Put that way, maybe he does slip over into Evil after all. Just not as much as some others in the party.

That depends on whether or not blowing up the entire station is the most efficient way to achieve the mission objective, of course. If the answer is yes, then it's Ruthless. If the answer is no, then it's just Psycho. I'd expect Dark Side points either way, naturally.

It depends on what the vomitcloth does. If it's a terrible bioweapon like I suspect, then I should gain negative dark side points for eradicating the source!

No but seriously, I want a lab report on the vomitcloth. That stuff is frightening and it's totally a Chekhov's Gun.

Heh. Judging by that Deception check, Graff must have learned something from co-instructing with Lillian the last few months.

Yes because evasion works on thermal detonators.

Oh and if anyone has something touching to say about the sergeant-major before I probably get him killed, speak now.

Ice isn't ruthless, but I think he's possibly the most dangerous of all the party members. This guy is all about fine-tuning and improving/innovating machines of war. He's dangerous not only because he's good at it, but also because he doesn't really consider the consequenses of creating the new technology. Given enough time, he could become another Bevel Lemelisk or Qwi Xux.

Hmmm. Bondage gear, and not-Vong, probably means they are working for the Sith after all. Such a waste - because when/if Graff reaches that conclusion, he'll have to kill them. Of course.

Next, what to do with Graff while everyone else catches up after his timeskip adventure… tricky, since I don't know where anyone else will be in three hours or so. Well, Kel and Staen will probably be in custody somewhere, but Graff doesn't know that yet. He also doesn't know about the security lockdown surrounding the Mandalorian hunt, the taxi-bomb, or even that his bestest, bestest buddy Darth One-Eye () is on the station. So many exciting ways to get into trouble - some of them even possibly even survivable!

But before Graff even gets that far he's got to get out of here. Since the probably-Sith Twi'lek honey traps appear to be okay with Graff walking out the front door, another exit strategy seems to be called for. Is there much aircar traffic outside the balcony, and possibly within jumping distance? A better alternative, how long would it take to summon an air taxi to the edge of the balcony? This may seem like rampant paranoia, but I think it's a reasonable response given the way every assignment he's drawn in the past year has been blown.

What a terrible galaxy in which we live. That those who practice consensual bdsm are instantly lumped in with the Sith. He could be missing a chance to broaden his horizons.

Though I suppose Graff has every right to be paranoid. He is a spy after all.

I know it's a lot of work Fel, but is there any way we could get the little icons we use to represent us on the map of the building you gave me? I'm having trouble making heads or tails of where I am at the moment.

But...but..honor! Honor demands it! *will take the dark side point if he gets a chance to get revenge*

Edit: What justification of evil actions isn't dark side? (sarcasm)

I'm thinking bust out, bust Staen out, then encourage every prisoner to have a massive jail break and go wild. Add to the chaos, given I hate chaos, but it helps while him and I escape. If EVERY prisoner gets out they might have less to focus on then recapturing Staen and I.

Oh, looking around outside the bars can I see cameras? If so how many...and can I use move light object to either snap them or twist them to face away from the cell?

Edit: To confirm I'm doing stun damage right is that 30 stun damage (so 15 normal) or is that after the halving?

Leaving the house for the night. Don't have time for a full response. Jarik kills the Talz by decapitation - fallout style. Be back later tonight to make a real post. Go ahead and move up and start finishing the job.

Speaking of doors being nonviable, can Graff catch an aircar from the penthouse balcony? Summoning a taxi would be good, but leaping onto/into a passing vehicle in flight has not yet been definitively ruled out.

Geez, running away from a sexy shower threeway. Tsk, tsk.

On a side note its probably a good thing based on the DM's typo...
