Ok, Xeth is trying a VERY tricky Charge... +1 on his acrobarics roll is a 15, down to a 13 from damage, aback up to a 15 from his acrobatic skill... that is a pass, dead on! He destroys the Mark II, and then +1 on his attack roll downs thd droideka!
Lorn- no, defensive leaps must be away from foes.
+2 from Jelena nails that turret.
And Gallagher downs another Mark II. I am assuming Roan attacks one also, for a kill.
Bit of frame wastage going on here, folks! People who could have acted more than once are not doing so and losing frames. I'll have Jelena drop a droid., and also Lurik one.
+6 from a Mark II hits Lurik, for seven damage and a death check. Lurik rolls -2; not good enough. He goes down.
And then a +8 is a hit on Lorn. That's too much for him now- he falls also.
The droidekas pour fire at Delfedd and Xeth. A +5 hits Delfedd for 15 damage. Luckily, he rolls +4 on his death check, because that was very close to an outright kill. He is most definitely down.
Xeth is in luck- they miss.
-3 from the AAT is a miss also.
New sequence... with a weary crew.

The Padawans no longer have safe ground to hide- your diminished numbers make them all vulnerable.
The droids to the rear have reached the plateau- the first of hundreds more.
Just to clarify what failing a death check means:
1. If you fail, you are dropped and out the fight. At a conceptual, rules-based level, you can no longer usefully contribute to the game. I tend to let people keep talking for RP purposes, but you cannot move, or check, or look at anything useful in any way by any means.
2. Fail the roll by too much and you are dying- by a great deal, you are dead. Delfedd could have been dead but rolled very well and is at no risk. Vlad rolled badly and was dying- Roan needed to stbailise him, frames he could ill afford.
3. After a fight you can keep on playing, unless you died. Stablised dying characters will be on stretchers at best. Characters who only just failed their detah chceck will be weak and limping but can get from A to B. Unless there is a heal point approaching, you keep your damage (and hence cannot fight), though medicine rolls may be made to improve your condition.
Don't worry though- story is ending not long after this fight. No-one has either been left dying without aid or is dead (yet) so as it stands everyone will be back.
Assuming you win.
Ok, Fire is going for the big swing again! And he's done it! Four kills, final roll is a +2, a 17, goes down to a 12, but still beats the amount to kill the battle droid by enough for a cleave! Five cleared out!
Xeht goes for his big chrge, He makes a good landing- but double impaired, that's a difficult attack! +2 is a good attack, but that goes down to evens due to impairment, and then down to -2 due to two targets of a Flying charge... but wait, Xeth'second level in Agile Combatant makes that only -1 from Flying charge, and that is a 13 and a hit! The second roll is a +2 as well- two direct hits!
I assume Jelena Sidestep/Wards up as ever.
Ok, bad guys fire. Total miss from the few remaining battle droids. THe five droidekas blast at Xeth.
Xeth's holding! They've all missed!
The turrets fare little better!
However, the tank has gotten in a blast again, aimed at the 3/4 area. It has scored a near miss, which is half damage to everyone who does not dive out the way; seeing as your sitruation is critical, I am making everyone dive. On the bright side, it blows away two droids as well.

The AAT is loading the torpedo launcher again.
"Gallagher!" Xeth shouts, notifying him to deflect the missile with his powers.
As soon as Xeth lands from splicing open a section of two sets of droideka armor, he springs into the air again, aiming to finish off those two with another Flying Charge.
Defensive Leap again. If I go down, it is definitely not going to be a near fail...
