Prelude: Imperial Incursion

Initiative: Corvan 16, Davar 15, Imperial Probe Droid 9

Davar makes his way up the ridge quickly, ducking behind cover as he does so. The thick forest aids him, helping to keep concealed while advancing on the droid. He pops off a shot, but his aim still is not good enough, the bolt blasting a tree instead of the droid.

Att 6 - 2 (Range) = 4, Fail. Unlucky rolls ...

The droid counter attacks the man moving closer, shooting toward Davar as he advances, but luckily for the New Republic Marine, the bolt hits the tree in front of him and does not harm.

Concealment: 15, Fail

Corvan notices the Droid turns its attention away from him and so he's up and moving forward as well. He moves through the jungle foliage jumping roots and ducking branches. He starts to pant at the quick run forward. Dropping to his knee again he rests behind a small rock that seems out of place among the moss, vines, and plants. He levels his rifle, now well within range for his rifle and he fires. The scout then lifts his rifle to his shoulder, braces it, and fires again before Davar even gets a chance. Two red blasts fire from his rifle in quick succesion at the droid. "Okay you floating garbage can, time for a memory wipe."

Action

Corvan sneaks forward as well, keeping himself under cover, and levels his rifle directly beneath the droid and fires twice. The first bolt misses somehow, but the second slams against the droid and causes black smoke to start to billow from the machine as it begins to make strange noises.

Heroic Surge: Att #1 13, Fail. Att #2, "19", Crit Threat. 7 + 1 = 8, No Crit. Dmg 12 + 1 = 13.

We might actually get this one!
Davar keeps moving, weaving between trees and foliage, trying to deny the probe droid a shot while making one himself.

Display

Move forward another 10m, shoot again at +4.

Davar gets to the top of the ridge, standing only a couple meters away from the Imperial Probe Droid. At this range his blaster is much more useful. The man takes aim and squeezes the trigger. The bolt slams into the droid, frying the internal circuitry and other components. The droid falls from its hovering status and slams to the ground, but, as was hoped, the droid does not explode into thousands of pieces and keep the New Republic from capturing potentially important information from the droid.

21, Success. Dmg 13. Droid Destroyed!

[Toptomcat]

Thank the Force. I was afraid the mercenary would get to rib me about my marksmanship all the way back to base.
Davar sits on a nearby rock, cooling off from the excitement of battle.
"Let's let it sit for a while. We don't want to burn our fingers hauling around blaster-heated metal."

[Vardaen]

Tal stands up as the droid falls to the earth. "Nice shot..." He races forward to the Imperial Probe and takes up a positon opposite Davar scanning the jungle. "Have you never known these things to be alone? Or without a nearby force to recall it? Do what you have to do, we need to meet back up with the others as soon as we can." The hired hand keeps watch and lets Davar extract the memory core from it or do whatever he's going to do to it.

[Toptomcat]

"That's the point of probe droids, actually. You drop one from orbit, and it operates completely on its own, without needing further support.
I'd be very surprised if it was here in support of a larger force, but I guess we'll find out when we anylize the memory, no?"
After giving the droid's remains sufficient time to cool off, Davar walks up and just lifts the thing up. The man must have the strength of a Wookie- it's nearly as big as he is, with solid durasteel construction.

[TetNak]

Davar attempts to lift the thing, but fails miserably. The thing must weight five hundred kilos easy. There comes a female voice over the communications headsets of both men. "Sergeant Soldat, we have spotted activity in your area, report."

[Vardaen]

Tal taps the comm on listening, but he's not the seargent here, just hired on so he remains silent for the moment. Letting Davar do his thing on the headset he inspects the droid and attempts to eject the memory core to take back to base for inspection.
