Pairing: Theron Shan/Smuggler
Quick Quote:
Eva inspected all the other die rolls. “Nobody else perceives Koth or the mysterious ticking device in the corner. Great.” Eva tucked the rule book under her arm for this one. “Koth, roll to tamper with the device. Miot, roll to see if your device goes off.”
Koth raised his hand. “If it doesn’t go off, can I still take my shot?”
Aygo rejected that idea. “No, that’s another action on a turn.”
“Ah, ah, ah! I got a thing – it’s a tactical advantage. I get a bonus action?” Koth tried to proclaim but he wasn’t totally sure on this one.
Theron tugged the rule book out from Eva’s arm. “If you’re stealthed – which it seems you are,” he began, looking at the cards Koth turned over.
“Anything bigger than a breadbox breaks the field,” Eva commented. “Miot, is your grenade larger than a breadbox?”
“What’s a breadbox?”
Eva stretched her arms and then made a motion with her hands to indicate the approximate size of the Thief’s breadbox. “Like this?”
“Smaller.”
“Ok, Koth can play with it and not break the stealth field. But once he shoots, the energy is more powerful than a breadbox thrown by a Wookiee, and that will disrupt the field,” Eva clarified, permitting Koth to tamper with the device while stealthed.
“Is that how that guideline was established?” asked Theron.
“Uh huh.”
A/N: yes, they're playing Brigs and Balyregs, which is my in-universe edition of Dungeons and Dragons.
