Finally Rianna has to use up a re-roll, but she wipes out those three turrets.
+1 from Tanic is enough to kill his foe...
... amd Takuan wastes some of his push again, trying it on a supermook; he gets one kill.
A big turret shot hits one of Slate's goons and kills him.
Another shot hits Tanic for 8 damage.
Gallador takes a hit for 4, which he pains out...
... Gallador then immediately spends the extra pool staring down a taskmaster, causing him to take a shot that misses.

Gallador goes Taskmaster hunting. -4 is a miss, with no emotions to turn it to a hit (though snapped it would have strill been a miss); +4 is much better and hits him. He has, however, now run out of power to Bewilder.
Takuan is obviously feeling destructive, as he rolls a +6. Mr. Supermook is picked up and flung into the nearby mountainous rock. The killing power of eight is sadly reduced to three by the amount of Force Takuan put into it (you could have affordede more!) but that still does seventeen damage to him, and he has to get back up. He doesn't bother moving back towards you guys, he'll fire from there.
Tanic goes for a turret. +1 is a hit.
Rianna steps forward and hacks down a guard.
Slate and his other goon blast and the Taskmaster behind; they both hit for a total of 18 damage.
Lucky round- all clear!

-3 from Rianna means another re-roll... but evens finishes that turret. +4 on the other turret is a solid hit!
Whilst Gallador certainly does finish that taskmaster!
Slate hits again but his goon misses.
Gallador is hit by the big turret, for six damage, leading to double impairment.

One re-roll needed, but we have a turret wipe-out from Rianna!
Wrong way around there, Gallador... watch for that.
But another clear round!

Psycho Rianna gets three out of three again!
Not entirely sure what Gallador means there... I shall assume standard attacks, as emotions is not on, in which case he only has time for one; +1 is a kill though. Tanic slices one down also.
Takuan then throws in a rather delicately positioned Master Throw at differently located targets that I really shouldn't allow but will because I'm nice. At +5 and +6, Takuan really is on a Force kill trip nightmare, and kills the one Rianna hit stone dead, leaving Slate and his buddy to kill the other.
That leaves us nine guards, who miss, and are now doomed to be hacked into oxo cubes before they act again.
And so we return to the combat at the top of the mountain- by the entrance to Doon's base.
All the bad guys are three frames in front of you as this kicks off. The Heavy Turrets fire Heavy Weapons, and are heavily armoured.
Time to storm this place!
