USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE II (DARK SIDE)- In the Coils of the Serpent

Rand will Defend, active dodge the Chief's Son.

"Gallador!" Rand shouts to his pupil. "Help me! Our Order is under attack! We must save the Empire!"

Then, he will Combat Push three more pirates.

Tanic combat pushes the remaining two guards.

Gallador hears the voice of his Master, and tries to get rid of his hallucination, tearing it apart with his anger so he can return to reality, where real challenge awaits.

It is NOT an Empire, Rand, Very important you see that- that was the whole point of the vision.

Galder finishes the job. His first roll a +1, boosted by the Anger bonus, slices down Persis. Galder makes his way up the stairs of the Lobby...

And with a firm, Fear boosted Push duo, Tanic finishes his opponents.

You are done, Tanic. Time to get out of this place, to the landing bay... the landing bay... something not right there.

Rand- you are over-defending. An error; you have no chance to attack. Hits on you and Gallador, seven to you, five to Gallador, both pained.

Gallador, double-Hated, is making his way across the central lounge, slashing and stepping.

Bad guys fire again. The Son hits Gallador, for a nasty ten points of damage! Pained. Gallador continues his walk of doom, as Galder rushes up. Rand finally has time for his Push, and three kills. And the Chief's son botches! Which leaves the way for a quick pirate slaughter as the sequence ends... but Gallador takes three points of Pain Burn, leaving him double impaired.

-

Tanic, the landing bay is clear, your ship in front of you. You just aren't entirely clear which bay or ship it is.

The Great Hall is covered in bodies. Yago's posse are all dead. More security are arriving now, towards Galder's end, and there is a roar he finds familiar...

Rianna, you find yourself in the Sensor room, in a running battle with Mika and the men around, as they are re-programming the systems to shoot your ship down...

Where'd Bora go? 😗

"Feeling better?" Galder asks, spinning his blades around menacingly as he turns to see the Champ approaching. "A shame...you do not deserve to live."

Galder moves towards the Champ with a roar, then uses Combination to cut through the hard scaly skin of the monster. Force Dodge for defense against the Champ's attacks.

If Rand can Combat Push from the stairs up, he will target three. If not, Rand will move to the middle to help Gallador and Galder finish off the guards, Yago, and the Champ.

Defend for defense, active dogdge if Yago targets me.

Hmm...methinks I'll keep Anger active right now, as killing them probably would be the best (and frankly, only) way for me to keep them from doing so....THOUGH A LITTLE HELP UP HERE MIGHT BE NICE, GUYS...

Snap attacks at 3 bodyguards/enforcers, Defend for defense, Active Dodge against Mika....

*thumbs up to Lana*

Wipe them out...

Tanic pauses a moment, then looks around the bay for other ships, confused.

If there are none, he heads into his ship.

I am sorry, WHAT?? Rand, you have gone to all the bother of getting over this far to try and get to Rianna, and now you want to turn around???

And whoops! Error from Galder too. His move is overridden, as he moves to attack the guards instead. Gallador has quickly hacked two down.

Rianna kills 3...

Yago lands another hit on Rand! 8 pained, which he immediately spends five on, clearing out three guards with a push.

The Champ launches a Hard Strike on Galder, and only just misses!

Galder Twirls at the Champ and a Guard. The Champ dodges; evens is not good enough for Galder to it. He kills the guard though, and Gallador quickly finishes the others.

Yago, looking increasingly desperate, misses...

A hit on Rianna for four causes a death check... which she passes using Anger. But she is over-dodging; an error just as it was for Rand before.

...Rand....get up here, NOW, because I guarantee that if you don't and somehow Rianna gets out of this alive she will NOT be happy with you....

Snap attack on 1 enforcer and Defend for defense.

(if I wasn't so high on damage I'd just say to hell with defending and attack...but I'm not quite that suicidal)

I am guessing that Galder attempting to use Combination on the Champ would be overridden again, due to the fact that he is now next to Yago and the Champ. In that case, he will Twirl, attempting to strike both Yago and the Champ with his lightsabers.

If not, he tries to run the Champ through with Combination.

(Rand, either go save Rianna or put a Grip on Yago or the Champ...I think Rianna cares shit about the Champ and Yago, so go rescue her...NOW...)

Active dodge if Yago targets me, Force Dodge if the Champ targets me.

Very well.

Rand, giving Yago one last evil glare and satisfied to be leaving him with the furiously insane Galder and Gallador, turns and heads up the stairs, using Sense to try and track Rianna through the anger he should be sensing quite vividly...

Hahaha.....yeah, Rianna's a bit pissed off right now.....

Only a bit?

"Where are you, Rianna..." Rand mutters to himself as he runs through the corridors of the Citadel after passing up the stairs.

(You know, now that I think about it...the only Lantarnans we're not going to kill are Vigo and Jena...where the hell is Vigo, anyway?)

(he's probably going to make an appearance when we least want him too....don't forget, Deva's currently missing, too....)

(Oh, jolly good...forget I said anything! I'm probably just giving Mike ideas...)

(oh, I'm sure there's already an evil plan in place.....)

(Of course... *remembers Ascar trickery and Zeitonian betrayal, puts ice pack on head* )

Another kill for Rianna...

Evens from Galder would be a miss on the dodging champ... but an Anger point soon takes care of that! A hit! And it promptly ignores all his armour.

A +2 on Yago is boosted up for a definite hit also.

Then it is Gallador's turn. A +4 is a hit on Yago, double boosted... and drops him. He whimpers somewhat as he falls to the ground.

Gallador then gets a double-hate boosted strike on the Champ also... which leaves Galder in position for a Combination! A mighty +7 to start with is boosted by Anger to a +9, then a +1 is boosted to a +3 for a more modest hit. On 50 damage, the Champ still stands, and smashes a Nerve strike at Gallador, hitting him for 9 damage, causing Gallaodr to death check- passed, with the aid of Hatred.. Gallador then has one final blow on the Champ, taking him to 64 damage... which is too much. The Champ is felled.

-

There are no other ships, Tanic. You just were not 100% sure if this was your one or not, for a moment.

-

Odd that you should mention Deva... Rand is now up a level... and uh-oh!

Rianna is lucky, and is missed. Mika is programming in the sensor change. A second volley misses Rianna... as does a third!

Looks like Mika is done!
