Jordis palms her snap baton, ready to extend it at a moment's notice. This was not going well.

Lacking social skill, Jordis glanced about, keeping an eye on her surroundings.
"Um. Just going to say, hard no to murder for me. We need to be better than them, not stoop to their level."
Nah Jordis doesn't really want a share.
Jordis is too concerned over her recent wounds and her sudden rushes into combat with a group of strangers to notice much.
Jordis does not take any loot, but does accept the offer of medical treatment with thanks. She's fine taking on the delivery as well.
Jordis leaps forward over her newly defeated foe, lashing out at the Chevin to try and end the conflict.
Grunting in pain, Jordis grits her teeth and lashes out, attempting to knock the Rodian out with her snap baton while avoiding damage herself.
Jordis will reach out with the Force, causing a crate to fall onto the Weequay to the southeast.
Been happening to me as well.
Though unskilled in diplomacy (her training was cut short before she had much chance to learn about negotiation), Jordis decides to attempt to win over the droid. "As Callum said, we are not without gratitude. We understand that for a busy individual such as yourself, it can be trying to hunt down one order amidst such a giant queue. Perhaps we can do something to expedite the process?"
Not much of a talker herself, Jordis waits for the more diplomatic members of this rag-tag group to speak.
Jordis notes their positions, her hand casually moving to rest on her hip near her snap baton as she walks. Jordis does try to take note; are any crates or objects stacked particularly high? She's looking for something she could "drop" on an enemy (with Move Object, naturally).
Jordis walks with the group, saying nothing, simply observing.
Jordis stays silent for a moment, having an internal debate, but merely shrugs.
"I do have one other question...are there many security cameras on this level?"
"You have my assistance regardless of reward. What can you tell me of this Switch?"
"Pleased to meet you, Callum, and quite happy I am that you- all of you- were ready to lend your aid. My name is Jordis Valden."
Jordis tries her best to make the woman comfortable. As soon as the woman remarks on serving Senator Organa and opposing the Empire, the young Padawan's decision is made. "I have only met these people, so I cannot speak for them. I oppose the Empire, though, and I will help you. I will meet this Switch and retrieve what we must."
Jordis will pick her way across the area to the last apparent enemy. As she reaches them, she will lash out quickly with her baton, attempting to end the conflict.
"Get behind cover!"
She was not a fool. Jordis knew that any overt manipulation of the Force or use of a lightsaber would bring the Emperor's cruelest enforcers on her trail. It would mean going up again HIM. She was nowhere near ready for that. Thankfully, she had always been good at improvisation. With the hand not holding her baton, Jordis will grab the table. As she does so, she reaches out with the Force, taking hold of the object. She will "throw" the table, though her physical action will be merely for show as she uses telekinesis to hurl the projectile at the soldiers of the Empire.
Once that is done, Jordis will use her move action to move with the Chiss and the Woman, making for cover to the Northwest. IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE: Jordis will still tell the woman and the Chiss to get to cover, then get up into melee with the stormtroopers. Substituting her UtF roll for an Attack roll would make the result against Reflex Defense 22, and the damage would be
[smaller]”I have no love for those tyrants. With any luck, this charade will buy us enough timw to get her somewhere safe.”
”Oh, you know Hetti. One day she’s a ruin, she’s devastated, she’ll never love again. Then she finds another handsome Sabaac player and claims she’s found the one. Poor thing, I don’t think she’s over you yet. But who could blame her?” Jordis actually giggled, then spoke softly.
Thay was one conviction she would never shake.
"Oh, Al'Sheret, my friend! It's so good to see you!" Jordis smiles brilliantly, placing an affectionate hand on the Chiss's arm, acting for all the world like they're old friends. Her eyes and face stayed the same, but for a moment, her mind retreated inward as she searched her feelings, wondering if she should trust this man.
In a quieter voice, she continued.
Jordis continues to walk, shepherding the woman along with her. As she does so, she surreptitiously reaches to her belt. Her first reaction is to grab for her lightsaber, which of course is safely stowed in her utility belt. Instead she grabs her snap baton, readying herself to press the button to extend it.
Jordis spots the woman, and there is no hesitation. Jordis begins to walk beside her.
Back to normal thankfully!
Jordis would have attempted to spend most of her time around Delgas Medical Supplies. Surely, there would be people that went there for treatment, only to be turned away because they could not afford the drugs. Jordis would attempt to aid those people, using her Jedi training to heal their bodies while clouding their minds and concealing her presence.
Jordis does not let her face or posture change, but inside she tenses. Surely the Force meant for her to notice these two, and she had not survived the Jedi Purge by being unable to recognize enemy agents. She could not be sure they were searching for her, and she believed the best course would be to simply act normal; after wall, what was one more Mirialan? Jordis will try to make her way casually near the two men, blending with the crowd, to better overhear their conversation.
Yep. I’m definitely going to have to get creative.
Reporting in. I would greatly prefer the second option, as the other definitely limits my utility in combat with my current power set. |
