Gallagher will defend himself in whatever way possible, blocking the attacks of the robots by keeping them at bay with his stick, moving up to their third.
Gallagher will guide any shots and passes he makes with the Force, nudging them with a Push/Pull in the right direction.
Can Gallagher activate Sidestep for defensive means?
"I'm beginning to think we should blow our cover, just this once, to stop Varm," Gallagher says. "Either to win this match, or to get up to where Varm is and stop him."
(As much as I REALLY want to, I get the strong feeling from what Ush has been saying that it would be a big mistake to blow our cover before we're ready to make arrests. We'd have to nail Varm before he got away to keep it under wraps, and that's going to be pretty difficult right now. Remember, there's still proof we need to gather, and possibly others involved we don't know about yet. On the other hand, it is (literally) painfully obvious that Varm knows we're onto them. I have to wonder if it would make a difference if he knew we're Jedi or not. From this point on I doubt we're going to be left in peace, but I could be wrong. Hate to be the voice of reason here, because Andro and I are BOTH itching to stop holding back whip Varm and anyone else involved.
So I guess the point of my convoluted answer is 'I dunno." But I can tell you that if you do decide to use the Force, and we get caught, and it turns out bad; I won't hold it against you. 😱 )
Ok, everyone has moved forwards in a big rush. Whap whap whap! But you manage to remain all clear this time.

Anaz points at you, Roan.
"Exactly. THAT'S why."

Zaland finds it hard to cover Gallagher whilst Gallagher is covering Andro; Andro gets the ball but Gallagher is whacked again.

"Gah! That'll smart," Gallagher says. "You'll have to cover yourself, I'm afraid, Andro!"
Gallagher will retreat back to No-Man's Land, hoping to take some droids with him.
(Oh, and the point of that, Roan, was that his people thought that Larios Kuylen would be sacrificing his true purpose in life if he went to the Jedi ways rather than becoming the leader...cultural thing... 😉 )
(Andro will try a Pass to Zaland, somethig different this time might help, and he'll do what he can to Block for him afterwards.)
With Gallagher's assistance, Andro manages to get clear and grab the ball. Since the Droids were all over him the last time, he quickly calls out to Zaland and passes him the Ball. Then he moves to block droids for Zaland's shot.
"You didn't even 'give' it up," says Anaz. "It's forced upon you. On Charnel, we highly value the concept of Culture. The Republic is a gathering of countless independant and soveriegn cultures, each reflecting a different way of life. We see the purpose of the Republic as to safeguard the integrity of those cultures. To become a Jedi is to forego your culture and become something else. That's where we have issue.
"But we understand the Jedi's role in the Republic and our obligations in that area, and we have changed our laws accordingly. We just find it uncomfortable.
"I notice your trim, by the way. That's interesting. I understand by the same logic, my Cousin always wore his ring."

Good thinking Gallagher- don't let the droids bunch!
Andro manages his pass, and Zaland manages a score, and no-one gets hit!

(Maybe we should each take a third. Someone should definitely keep guarding the goal like last time. Then we can order our spare droids to cover as necessary. I keep forgetting to give them orders. I'll stay in this third for the all drop anyhow. You might want to go into ours just incase.)
"Good thinking!" Andro yells to Gallagher. "Good shot Z!" Andro is lightening up a bit, but he'd be having more fun if there lives weren't in jeopardy.
(You know Ush,I forgot to mention that it's dirty pool to have Varm keep watching us. No evil villain stay behind to watch their death traps! Haven't you ever seen a Bond movie? 😉 )
