Episode I: Smuggler's Moon

[Eilandor]

Gavin curses at his aim, "Hitting the crate was a stroke of luck." Looking down the corridor, he sees Candor take a nasty hit from an enemy blaster. Not sure if the man is still alive, Gavin stows his blaster and draws his lightsaber. Igniting the yellow blade, he steps into the corridor, takes a defensive stance and beckons the Black Sun thugs to focus on him.

Action

Move: Stow Blaster, Draw Lightsaber, N NE
Standard: Activate Reflect (1 Rank)

Vashu leans around the shelter she has hidden behind, pauses to take aim, and opens fire at the most accessible of the Black Sun guards.

Action

Maneuver: Aim
Action: Attack: Agility/ Ranged--Light with light blaster pistol vs. ... I assume I can't hit guard #3 given the position of the two of us. If I can, I attack him. If not, I aim for guard #1.

Cander collapses behind the boxes, his entire right shoulder a blackened mess. His edgy leather outfit is ruined, and whatever low-profile armor he was wearing beneath it isn't looking like it's nearly enough to protect the scaly flesh beneath it. He reaches into a pocket and pulls out a stimpack. He uncaps the needle, takes a steady breath, and jams it into the wound. He cries out in pain, the sound having a disturbing undercurrent of hissing to it.

After a moment he seems to get his composure back, and props himself back up. "Die in a fire, you bastards! Do you have any idea how much this leather cost me? Do you?" He blasts back in the general direction of the Black Suns. "Well I'm going to take it out of your hides! And I'm not being figurative!"

OOC

Move Action: Stimpack myself (I've still got 3 more of those ready to go). Heals for 5, so only 1 Wound left. Standard Action: Shoot back (2 Green).


Yeah, confusing system. I know we're either ditching the system or dropping the campaign. But if it matters in the future:
- "Defense" - sometimes given by armor/cover/environment/etc. Adds 'Black' die to the opponent's roll, making it harder to hit in the first place, but still random.
- "Soak" - Brawn + armor bonus. Pure damage reduction after you already got hit, just a straight number with no randomness.
And my character has 11 Wounds, so 6 Wounds would put me at 5. Still messed me up though!

Round 2 Cander 2.2, Onichi 2.2, Gavin 2.2, Black Suns Thug 1.1, Vashu 1.0, K5 0.1

Vashu leans out and fires her blaster at the one thug in the center of the hall behind the crate. She clips in on the shoulder now, and he's burnt and crispy from the blast crying out.

Cander, flailing back, finds his stimm pack and jams it into his arm. He is feeling better, the pain numbed, the medicine working, its his coat that he can't fix so quickly, and that really ticks him off. He reaches up and over, blindly firing down the hall, it doesn't hit anyone but it keeps their heads down making them having to fire blindly as well.

Gavin then stashes his blaster and his lightsaber comes to life, he steps into the hall, one hand pointed back at you a moment, he's got this. Then he shifts, and beacons the Black Sun to fire at him. One of them shouts, "A Jedi! Gun him down, that bounty will be huge!" They all turn their focus on Gavin.

Onichi winces at the wicked blaster wound inflicted on Cander, then smirks at the colorful hail of invective that follows from the incensed Clawdite. Shame you can't kill 'em with words, the detective mirthfully thinks to himself, peaking around the corner at the distinctive ignition of a lightsaber.

"Hope you know how to block with that thing," Murmurs Onichi, pondering to himself whether the employment of his own powers is necessary in this deadly exchange. The idea is quickly dismissed the moment the thugs exclaim their eagerness to gun down Gavin for a hefty bounty, opting to take careful aim with his pistol at the brigands instead.

Round 3 Cander 2.2, Onichi 2.2, Gavin 2.2, Black Suns Thug 1.1, Vashu 1.0, K5 0.1

Onichi winces and laughs almost all at the same time. Then leaning out from cover he aims down the center of the hall just past Gavin and fires. His blaster clips the merc in the side of the head and that does it. His helmet is blown off and he topples backwards out of sight behind the crate and never gets up again.

The two remaining thugs fire back at Gavin. He might not be a Jedi, or even really a full fledged Padawan, but he's learned a thing or two, and he's damn lucky. Both Black Suns are still taking in the death of their companion and as they fire Gavin turns the blaster bolts away with good enough strikes of his lightsabre to parry the shots! The blaster energy strikes wall and ceiling as he holds his ground there giving everyone cover.


K5 pulls away the last of the crates, "I have cleared and egress for us." The droid them steps through the opening and hustles up the hall toward the exit.

Vashu, followed by the rest of you...

"Nice one, old buddy. Thanks for saving our butts." The Clawdite pulls the trigger and fires in the general direction of the mercenaries, then books it down the newly opened path to freedom.

OOC

Shoot again, the Move action out the new exit.

"Yes," says Vashu, "let's flee before they organize a reception party outside." She dodges out from her hiding spot, firing one last shot past Gavin, then plunging through the opening K5 created.

Onichi takes his cue from the others and plans his own hasty retreat. But first. "Hey, get going already! I've got your back," he shouts down the hallway to Gavin. "Can't protect the Galaxy if you're dead, right?!" Leaning out from his cover, the detective backs up his words with action, aiming down the sight of his pistol and placing his next shot carefully so as to avoid clipping the lightsaber wielder with his covering fire.

Round 3 Cander 2.2, Onichi 2.2, Gavin 2.2, Black Suns Thug 1.1, Vashu 1.0, K5 0.1

Vashu encourages the fleeing, the klaxons are ringing and you know more Black Suns are coming. She fires off a shot striking one of the men, then darts across the hall and out of the hole through the crates that K5 has opened up. She is racing down the hall now just behind the droid with the exit in sight.

Cander does the same, he follows up with a barrage of shots at the other merc, the shots blow up the man's cover, sending it into a bunch of pieces splattered on the floor to small to be of use to the man now. Then he spins and races down the hall just behind Vashu.

Onici calls to Gavin to get out there, and takes carefull aim on the wounded one Vashi hit and puts his own blaster shot in the chest of the man. He slumps forward over his box, blaster clattering to the floor, he's dead and down now, leaving only the one.

Gavin...
