GM: The insects escort you over to a pillar of rock in the middle of the arena.
Padmé: I get a hairpin and stick it in my mouth.
GM: What?
Padmé: Obviously I have a hairpin, right? I'm a girl?
GM: Okay, sure.
Obi-Wan: Nice thinking, making sure you have a lockpick handy.
Padmé: Oh! That's an even better idea! I was going to fake a medical emergency.
Obi-Wan: O-kaay. I'll try Force Suggestion on the guards.
GM: Good idea, roll.
Obi-Wan: Ugh. 3. Okay, I unlock my manacles with Force Manipulation.
GM: Also a fine idea.
Obi-Wan: I'm guessing a 2 isn't good enough?
Anakin: Wow, bad luck.
Obi-Wan: On the bright side, if Pete was still GMing I'd be dead twice over.
