USH'S GAME EPISODE II- 'REVENGE'. Dark Side Area

Bad news, Rex- Lance's friend has just 'relieved' his escort of the two sabres he was carrying.

(My bro says he's going to ignite his saber when it's his turn. We're 'taking turns' 🙄 )

Gald watches as the friend Lance has with him ignites his lightsaber, the yellow blade gleaming bright. Gald then makes his jump up to the next level. I'm take care of them later...but now for Faylar...

Rex, you have to abort your jump mid-way. A blistering volley of repeater-gun fire was arcing in front of you and you nearly went straight into it.

Arashan is firing at you from level four, with his VERY fast firing repeater gun (you know what I mean, you have played Outcast...)

You land on the other side of the same level.

"I suppose I should take care of Arashan first." Gald stays low to the ground and runs past the Geonasian and Lance. Gald dives to avoid a volley of blaster fire from Arashan's heavy repeater (that's what it's called in Outcast), and then jumps towards Arashan using the Force to guide him through the air.

Arashan considers meeting you head on at first, but with your sabres out he doesn't think he can win that way. As you leap down towards him, he slips sideways with his gravboots again, skimming backwards across the blacony and firing at where he was a moment ago, where you are heading.

(Bascially, those boots allow him to move like a person in an FPS game- he can move sideways, and circle strafe, and so on...)

Gald grabs a flag pole and flips around that and lands again near Arashan. He motions for Arashan to come here, and Gald puts on an evil grin. "Time to die, Mr. Gunman," Gald says, and runs at Arashan, making it appear that he'll do a slash right at the hit man (head on).

Arashan backs away very fast, using his grav boots to slide, and continues to fire short, accurate bursts at you.. Meanwhile, you are distracted by continually having to fend off shos from battledroids, increasingly crowding onto the balcony, and Arashan's men who are firing at you from this level now as well!

Gald blocks the shots and leaps towards Arashan. He lands close to Arashan and throws his ex-mentor's lightsaber right at the coward they call a hit man. Gald uses the other to block blaster bolts coming at him and uses the Force to guide his red saber in the process. Gald finds it very difficult (it being that he's not a very good Force-user).

It's not easy to block these shots, Rex. Arashan keeps firing them, very fast and well-spaced.

But you are in your element here, and you find yourself reacting without thinking about it. And even though your use of the Force is not very precise, when it comes to moves in combat you have the skill to make it work.

Arashan throws himself backwards to just avoid the sabre as it flies past his head. This gives you time clear without him firing at you- however, you now find yourself under VERY heavy fire from his men.

Gald deflects the shots and Force pushes a lot of them back. He then guides the red lightsaber straight for Arashan's back at blinding speeds.

There are too many of them, Rex. You cannot push them all and fending them off means your return stroke isn't as accurate you you would like. Arashan twists out of the way again, but he is still on the floor. He is trying to bring his gun to bear on you...

The red lightsaber wizs past Arashan again and it returns to Gald's hand. He quickly deactivates it and uses the Force to pull Arashan's gun away from him. "Thank you, now give me the gun!" Gald says as he tries to focus on the men and pulling Arashan's gun at the same time. Damn this is hard.

Just to give you the scene:

There are at least twenty people firing at you at any one time, at least twice that trying to kill you in one way or another. You are having to flip, slide, twist, dodge and block through this firestorm while trying to take care of this trained hitman.

The gun comes out of his hands but not all the way to you. It clatters on the ground in front of him. Cursing, he draws a small pistol from his belt and starts to fire it at you as desperately reaches forward for his gun...

Gald flips and twists again and again, deflecting the shots coming from the men and Arashan. Gald through his green lightsaber into the crowd of men and dodges the shots from Arashan.

If it is a crowd it is droids; Arashan's men are spread out. Droids spark and fall to pieces from your throw but you are never going to take on all of these bastards.

Arashan stops firing and dives forwards onto his gun.

A group of droids have been firing at you from below, and you twist around to fend off their attacks agin, just in time to see Chion's huge sabre slice through two at once.

"Thank god!" Gald shouts, and slashes down at Arashan.

Arashan snaps backwards quickly but had not got a firm hold on his gun, which you cut in two.

Chion is fighting his way through to the stairs to your level.

"Now YOU are going to get cut in two, you low-life, scruffy-lookin nerfherder!" Gald makes numerous slashes at Arashan, but quickly stops and starts deflecting battle droid shots at Arashan.

Arashan, with increasing desperation, rolls away from the shots, using his grav-boots to quickly change his angle of movement, but he hasn't got a hope of firing back at you and you are closing in...

(Is there a wall I could corner him against?)
