Someone will have to send it back down for you, Andro!
Also, Droidekas pin. Which means if you dodge them, you cannot close on them or attack them- they have a vicious firing rate.
However, your Flurry goes very well! One hit gets snarled up inb the shield, but the other two close home and destroy it!
Upstairs, I shall assume everyone leaves the lifts, which no-one semeed to want to mention, during which time Sunda hacks down another mercenary.
Kraken opens fire on the newly arrived group of Jedi. +1 is a hit on all, time for you guys to jump for cover! That is Xeth, Lance and Kiu caught in the blast. Once more, Kraken's hefty weapon has scattered the Jedi! He's causing all sorts of havoc.
Balek fires at Marcus again. -6; a miss.
Bad guys fire again. But this time you are in luck; just the one hit, on poor Sunda, almost impairing him.
Balek fires at Marcus again- luck holds, another miss...
Meanwhile, poor Andro. Good news- Droideka misses. Better news- everyone misses! Better news- Droideka misses again! All clear so far...
... but finally a hit by a turret. Only for four though; so far, so lucky!

(Kiu, I'll owe you THREE for sending that lift for me!)
Andro knows his incredible luck is wearing out. Not that, as a Jedi, he believes in luck. But the Force is still with him, nonetheless. He fends off the more attacks and heads for the lift, hoping one of his fellow Jedi is sending it back down for him.
(I'll admit to being at somewhat a loss as to the best strategy here. So I'll Dodge the Droidekka on frame 5, then head for the lifts, and Defend the next Droidekka attack on fame 2, then head for the lift to frame out. I don't want to be stuck completely on the far corners when the lift gets here.)
Yup, defensive all the way Marcus!
They keep between sequences but obviously debilitating circumstances- like diving for cover- counter them, as does any action of your own.
Andro- lift is going down thanks to Kiu, but it won't get there until frame 6 of the next sequence. But your luck is still holding- still just the one hit for four... though I am afraid that does impair you.
Roan has finally gotten forwards for his twirl. Not good attacks but it nets him two kills regardless.
Marcus rather desperately dodges Balek, keeping himself safe, and then has time for his Spin... getting four kills! Sunda kills two more Mercenaries.
Kraken has another blast with his concussion rifle targetting Xeth, Lance and Gallagher. Evens- the blast in fact hits Gallagher, getting near misses on the other two, forcing more out-the-way-leaping from all.
Kiu takes a hit- another four damage.
And Xeth gets hit for six as well, double-impairing him.
New sequence time! More mercs coming, Andro- the first of hundreds.

(OK! Hey I'm not doing too bad for a one-Jedi-army here.)
Andro, picks his way through the carnage littering the middle of the lobby, intent on reaching the last Droidekka. He can tell that the lift is on the way, but he has some time to kill, and so that's just what he'll do.
(I'll move toward the Droidekka, DEFEND on frame 10, (works against ALL attacks that frame, right?) then SWORD WHIRL and FLURRY on the Droidekka. Bolt for the lft after that, to rejoin the group.)
*crosses fingers*

Ush, I did say activate Sidestep, and Ward...
And you would have actually not acted last sequence if you had done them.
And two other points:
1. You are amongst the Mercenaries already; Jumping will lead to them getting a lot of attacks on you. As a reminder, you want Flying Charge for that sort of thing.
2. I just said the Mercs are all dead, so the entire thing looks rather irrelevant!
Dearie me.
I'll wait for other responses.
Actually, time is pressing, so I will move on.
Roan makes his way towards Marshall Kraken. Kraken presses a switch on his rifle and it rotates around to its blaster setting. He fires at Roan, who has posted no defence, and rolls +2 for a hit. Eight damage impairs Roan.
Sunda gets to work on the turrets, taking down three more.
+2 is a hit from Balek on Marcus, who I assume Evades it.
Sword whirl would make you mist the lift, Andro, so I'll ignore that.
And finally the droideka shoots you first, for 14 damage, causing you to death check. +2 is a pass. Your flurry rolls two hits and a miss- enough to kill it. You dive, injured, into the lift, blaster shots blowing holes in the door as it closes!
Bad guys open fire, though their numbers are considerably reduced (no need for your leap it turns out, Kiu). Sunda takes a hit for 6, and double impairment.

With one Jedi advanced forwards, Balek abandons vendetta and replaces it with practicality. He turns his fire on Roan instead.

Andro gets to his feet just after the lift starts moving, then removes his smoldering cloak and throws it to the ground. He checks the wound in his side caused when the Droidekka's fire grazed him. Nothing a med kit couldn't handle, so he used Jedi techniques and pushed the pain from his mind. A Jedi does not know anger, but Andro certainly wasn't happy right now. He didn't know what was going on at the top of the lift, but he knew that when he got there, if there were any of the Warlord's men left, they wouldn't be happy to see him. He re-ignited his lightsaber, and waited for the lift to arrive.
