After Order 66, few Jedi dare to venture outside the shadows—rumors of the dark and terrible Darth Vader haunting even their waking moments. Yet, some Jedi find this life of fear unbearable. The Empire is always watching, and Vader himself is eager to confront any Jedi that might bring him closer to the whereabouts of his betrayer, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Startled, Uri whips his head toward the clanking of the box hitting the floor. From the moment he sees her, his thoughts race. Thankfully, she had approached Granite at an angle that left him in her blindspot. He checks his gear for a tic, then moseys up behind the armored woman for a headlock maneuver, prepping for resistance by lowering his center. Hope these work just as well on people as they do on droids, he thinks.
Maneuver: Stealth behind our surprise guest. Gloves set to Stun.
Maneuver 2 (?): Don shock gloves
Bonus Maneuver: Aim ('line up a hit')
Action: Grapple check w/ stun damage!
Brawling YYG +B (aiming)
I can't see a good reason to have my shock gloves on right now and not have attention drawn to them earlier. Too bad I didn't think about putting them on when we got in here, otherwise I would have spent the 2nd maneuver on another aim boost instead.
Granite takes his cue from Uri, trying to keep things quieter than shooting blasters or chopping off limbs with a lightsaber. He rushes forward, priming his robotic fist for a mighty blow.
Maneuver: Close to Engaged Range. Spend 2 Strain to get a second Maneuver to Aim. Attack with Repulsor Fist. 2Y2G1B. Advantages to activate Concussive (hopefully).
Rule Number 12: "A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head."

To speed things up, I'll spend the 1 adv to give granite a boost
Uri moves up and catches the dark figure unware of his attack. With his stun gloves powered up, he reaches out to tackle her. His gloved hands make contact with the Red Blade Sister's armor, but the physical force of his fists doesn't do enough damage to penetrate her armor. The stun effect of the glove does activate and send a shock all through her body.

Granite rushes forward with his repulsor fist charged and ready. His fist lands a successful attack on her. However, his former friend successfully performs a leg sweep knocking him to the ground she absorbs the impact from his powerful blow.

Almost added another hand (or two) to the Star Wars universe
With Granite on the ground, the Red Blade Sister turns her attention to the smaller threat which she didn't notice at first. As she turns to face the padawan, Uri stares into a black mask showing no emotion. Then the padawan notices ... a red light appearing from her side. The light grows into a lightsaber blade. Raising her blade, Uri realizes that he's only heard stories about red colored lightsabers. Screaming in anger, she slashes her lightsaber at Uri.
The padawan watches as the red blade slashes towards his torso. Quickly thinking, the padawan tries to step back. As he does so, he uses his hands in an attempt to block the blade from cutting him in half. Her attack comes close... too close for his liking. And luckily the padawan avoids being sliced in two, however, his gloves and forearms become moderately damage from close proximity with the lightsaber.
Jedi, Jedi, Sister, Jedi, Jedi
Uri - 7 wounds, in melee with sister, gloves moderate damaged
Granite - 2 strain, prone, in melee with sister
Shoshannah - short range to sister
Janos - short range to sister
Red Blade Sister - 5 strain, 9 wounds (yes she's a nemesis)
Janos wasn't prepared for the sudden transition to combat as he'd been trying to avoid letting his own presence be felt in the Force, but quickly focuses his attention on the very real threat before him. He'd heard stories from his master of Dark Jedi that cropped up from time to time, often Jedi who had lost their way. Perhaps this was one? She seemed to know one of his friends.
Thumbing his own lightsaber on, the red-lit corridor is joined by a softer blue light as Janos interposes himself between the masked figure and his comrades. "Stay behind me; remember your training," he urges himself as much as the others.
Unsure of his opponent's combat ability, Janos tries a conservative strike to avoid leaving himself open.
Maneuver to draw weapon. Take strain for 2nd maneuver to get to engaged range. Action to attack with lightsaber (he would have switched the blade back to the regular setting after cutting through the door). It looks like I'm rolling YYG?
Janos darts towards the mysterious red lightsaber wielding opponent. His strike is fast and accurate causing her to divert her attention from her previous foes to him. The red blade blocks the strike of the blue lightsaber, but the wily Jedi is able to follow up with a few kicks that caught her unsuspecting.
After his attack, the dark figure begins to falter and show signs of weakness. She still stands with her lightsaber in front of her, but its obvious to the Jedi that her anger is the only thing keeping her upright after their attacks.
Uri - 7 wounds, in melee with sister, gloves moderate damaged
Granite - 2 strain, prone, in melee with sister
Janos - 3 strain, in melee with sister
Shoshannah - short range to sister
Red Blade Sister - 5 strain, 16 wounds (yes she's a nemesis)
Shoshannah reaches out with the Force--not to directly fight the Dark Jedi, who is probably out of her league, but to warp the floor under her, putting her at a disadvantage in combat.
Force 2: Alter Basic Power: Increase the difficult of terrain in short range.
Action = use the force
Force = 2F
Result = 2 dark side dice
Your call if you want to spend the dark side points. Otherwise, it's a failure. If you do spend the point (just 1 is needed), then you can post that it changes the terrain of the room to difficult (possibly just knocking over some shelves and boxes to create obstacles around them).
You can still spend a maneuver to move, equip, take guarded stance, take cover
Shoshannah is well versed in the Ancient Sith Lore and formulates a theory from the red colored lightsaber and dark armor. Whether her hunches are correct or not will require further research. As she considers the situation, her initial thoughts go towards the darker side of the force. While in those thoughts, she attempts to draw upon the light side of the force hoping to alter her surroundings. Rather than a warm embrace of the living force, she feels a coldness permeate her thoughts as if the facility or her situation had a stronger pull towards the dark than the light.
Round 2
Any Jedi, Any Jedi, Sister, Any Jedi, Any Jedi
With the Red Blade Sister heavily wounded, the Jedi ...
Uri - 7 wounds, in melee with sister, gloves moderate damaged
Granite - 2 strain, prone, in melee with sister
Janos - 3 strain, in melee with sister
Shoshannah - short range to sister
Red Blade Sister - 5 strain, 16 wounds (yes she's a nemesis)
I'll take a pass on using Dark Side points to fuel my action. Somehow that seems like a bad idea when confronting one of the Emperor's Inquisitors.
Shoshannah can feel the temptation of the Dark Side of the Force calling to her, but resists doing so. She fears the Dark Jedi they face might be able to manipulate that to her advantage.
Ow! Red? Wait - Sith? That's bad! Groaning, Uri draws his lightsaber and ignites it in his singed gloved hands. He pokes the energy blade at the enemy to gain distance, and swings in an overhead strike.
let me know how to spend 1 adv -- recover 1 strain, pass a boost to next player, etc.?
The Padawan quickly draws his former Master's lightsaber. He's only had the blade for a few weeks now, since his Master's death. However, Urizen is growing more comfortable in techniques specific his Master's hilt design and weapon's unique handling. When the blade ingites, the padawan takes a strike at what he believes is a Sith warrior.
His blade aims for her upper torso, but she quickly ducks under the blade. As she ducks, she spins around, so she can face both the Jedi Knight Janos and Jedi Padawan Uri. When Uri's next strike comes, her lightsaber splits in half revealing two lightsabers. Her oft handed blade blocks the padawan's second strike as she ignites the blade in her primary hand and points it towards Janos and Granite.
Any Jedi, Any Jedi, Sister, Any Jedi, Any Jedi
