D3 - Confrontation 1 - Haneul, Goodbye and Good Knight

Post by GM Nicha » Fri Feb 17, 2023 12:15 am

Location: The ruins of the Jedi Academy. A hole above in the roof lets snow flakes into the vast meeting hall which is now empty. Broken furniture is scattered haphazardly across the room while Haneul meditates peacefully in its center. She is not alone.
Due to the clutter in the room any character wishing to use the move maneuver more than once in a turn must succeed against a hard athletics or coordination, or suffer 3 strain with no soak allowed.

Premise: Incapacitate Knight Haneul. Players roll cool for initiative.

Opposition: Knight Haneul. Two Fallen knights. (One squad of Mandalorian Crusaders has been removed as The Hopers spend their armoury bonus).

PCs can choose to start either:

Short range to Haneul and the knights, or
Medium to Haneul and the knights, but in cover providing +1 defense against ranged attacks provided they do not move.

Player notes: Haneul is adversary 3 and defence 2. The Fallen Knights are adversary 2 and defence 2.

Who was Haneul?

It was still unclear to him. What made a Jedi turn Mandalorian? He shook his head at the first three ideas that popped into his head unbidden. Wrecking a bunch of planet's seemed a funny way to seek balance, but Zephrin wasn't laughing.

"Knight Haneul I presume." Zephrin's blade ignited and he settled into a Soresu posture. "You can still choose another path."

Sirina had tucked herself into cover some distance behind Zephrin. She wasn't terribly interested in talking out their differences, but from the looks of it Zephrin wasn't either-- given his lit Saber. Rifle held at the ready, she scans for additional threats and is ready for the fight to commence at a moment's notice.

Tomin well understood the need to offer a different choice, even as she itched to simply end the threat they posed to her home. She settled in, Zepherin well in her awareness and the knights, but currently focused on Hanuel...seems they'd all follow her lead.

“I see our heroes have arrived.” Haneul rises smoothly to her feet, snowflakes beginning to swirl around her as the former knight trains her gaze on our heroes. “That is what you are, isn’t it? Heroes? Brave soldiers of the Republic arriving just in time to save the day, to kill me and my allies?”

The knights at her side ignite their sabers in one motion, the lines of blue plasma steaming slightly as they burn through the swirling snow.

“I should let you know, you’re too late.” She raises a hand and the splintered furniture in the room groans and begins to rise slowly rotating around her like the eye of the storm. “The Republic is always too late, that’s why these things happen.”

The splinters freeze then slowly rotate until their jagged edges face The Hopers.

"Let me show you the price of inaction."

Haneul bared her teeth, lips pulling back in a fierce snarl. She thrust her clenched fist forward, towards her foes, then spread her fingers. The splinters straightened, held still a moment, and then rushed towards her enemies with incredible force.

One of the Mando knights closed with Zephrin. They swung their lightsaber in a heavy blow, unscientific but powerful. The Jedi raised his own lightsaber in defense.

Terreck was not a fan of laser swords, or of broken furniture flying at him from all directions either. Being his in the chest by a flying piece of table wasn't very comfortable on the best ideas, and it was less so when it was propelled by the force.

Darting from cover he leveled his weapon on the unengaged jedi wannabe and fired, sadly he didn't manage to land a solid his as his foot slid on the snow and landed him on his ass. Luck was a bit on his side though as his shot managed to catch his opponent off-guard and send the knights lightsaber flying away.

To late for what? Tomin looks around at the mess and lack of people. She'd assumed everyone was reinforcing the Archives, but...

Don't let her play her mind games. "Too late to convince you this is a waste and horrible path to take?" She's letting instinct line up her shot on the disarmed knight. Drop her fast, if possible. It's more compassionate all around. Master Saubet hadn't claimed that was an easy path, certainly.

Sirina is sent reeling by Haneul's force-launched debris and when she recovers it is with myriad cuts and scrapes marring her frosty skin. Always the spiteful type, she racks her rifle's bipod forward by sliding a forearm beneath the barrel and props it up on her cover while taking aim at the Mandalorian Knight's hand. "Vicious bitch, try that again!" she snarls, snapping off a shot that blasts into Haneul's hand with uncanny precision.

Ghosted

Zephrin parries the knight's attack and takes 5 damage and 3 strain. He uses the defensive stance maneuver to upgrade the difficulty of all melee attacks targeting him until the start of his next round. He then attacks the injured Mandalorian knight. He hits and deals 9 damage with breach, but suffers 2 strain from setback.

-------------

The Mandalorian's blow is powerful and despite a quick parry Zephrin is pressed fiercely by the Crusader's assault. But then Terreck is able to blast the lightsaber hard enough to send it flying off into the debris of the room. Tomin's barrage follows up keeping him off balance and allowing Zephrin to turn the tables and launch a furious assault of his own that leaves his foe badly injured and on the verge of defeat!

Haneul pulled her fist back. "Come! Fight me! Take charge of your own destiny!"

The blasters began to shake in everyone's hands. There was no resisting it. Haneul's Force ripped the blasters from their grips. She then closed with Terreck, chopping at him with her lightsaber, clearly hindered by her injury.

Meanwhile, the disarmed knight chased after his lightsaber, while the other continued his assault against Zeph.

"I really don't like laser swords." Fec muttered under his breath as he rose to his feet, and pulled a stim from his pouch and punched it into his leg. The surge of Kolto would help keep him going for at least a bit longer, but having a crazy bitch in his face didn't really help much. "They always seem to make folks angsty."

"No offense intended Zeph." He finished before firing a shot at the knight trying to stab holes in the Jedi. Or maybe there was?

"None ta-gjzadfweff..."

Zephrin reconsidered his life choices as the friendly fire was just deflected enough (Reflect + Soak to turn 14 into 6). Somewhat more calmly he redirected the energy into his own attack, cleanly taking the Mandalorian Knight out of the fight.

"One down."

No time to celebrate however. Quick drawing a stim he injected himself and settled back into his Soresu stance.

Tomin tries clinging to the rifle, fingers straightening slooooowly as it slides loose from them one by one to fly across the rubbled floor. She winces as it hits the ground with a heavy thud. She's scrambling over a ragged chunk of something that might have been a chair once as she hears the electric his of Hanuel's weapon connecting, and 'sees' the Zephrin's surprise in the force as that wild shot hits him.

As her feet hit the floor, she can see him finishing off his opponent, and making her decision easier. It's a weaving dance over and around the debris to scoop up her familiar rifle, feeling the shifts in the Force that let her spin and fire successfully. It's a moment before she realizes she didn't shoot at Haneul.

"Don't need _you_ showing me my destiny," she growls.

"Gettin' real sick of all these cheap tricks. Where's that honorable Mandalorian pride when its inconvenient for you, huh?" Sirina shouts as she dashes over to her rifle and snatches it up. Swinging the sling over her shoulder, she raises it and fires at the only Mandalorian Knight not currently fighting up-close-- taking the foe full in the chest and knocking them flat on their ass.
