The Great Stair — Trial of Skill

GM-only enemy positioning (place tokens as the guardians wake, NOT at scene-open — the GM controls the reveal as the Padawan climbs): the 2 Temple Seeker Remnants (TR 1, floating blade-drones) unfold from the lower alcoves at roughly [2, 8] and [11, 8] and converge to deny a clean stance; the Temple Sentinel (TR 2, the trial's real test — it ADAPTS to a repeated tactic) descends from the upper landing at roughly [7, 3], holding the top of the stair between the Padawan and the threshold. All three are constructs: immune to Frightened, charm, and Force-influence (Move/Push/Pull, Mind Trick) — this trial is won with the blade, using the broken columns for cover so the Padawan is never flanked by all three at once. When the Sentinel falls it kneels and powers down; the Trial of Skill is passed at the threshold (orange). Solo scaling in the gm.mdx Encounter blocks (soften/sharpen the Sentinel's HP + adaptation).
