USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (RENEGADES)- The Hunters Hunted

In that case, Xeth will form a search pattern with the others around the lump, searching for another entrance that should feasibly lead into the hangar or further down.

Sorry, but you seemed kinda caught up in trying to kill Vlad with droids and Cultists...

So I was. Well, the more they catch up the better.

Xeth, it's useless. Even knowing what you know, you aren't ever going to find anything on this forsaken lump of...

You've found something. Oh, you know THOSE tracks anywhere! Battle droids.

"Group A get those Droids over here. 20 people follow me to the zigurat"

I'll use blur to get to the cultists and I'll use spin, defend as defence

A are all framed out form having stood and fought for a while. B group can't fire upon the Cultists with their heavies, as too many friendlies are near them, but they'll keep firing at the incoming droids.

Marcus, you charge over and Spin skillfully, taking down three foes. Some of the Cultists explode with sparks as you cut through artificial body parts.

The fight has quickly become very intense indeed. Vast amounts of firepower are being poured towards the Ziggurat, and the early parts have caused quite a slughter against the surprised defenders.

Another hit four four on Vlad, and two hits on Vilpa.

A new sequence begins, and the defenders have had time to organise.

The eight stone slabs covering the windows of this face of the Temple slide back. Behind each is a double-turreted hevay repeating laser, ready to deal death on the attackers.

More battle droids are emerging from the trees and from the other sides of the Temple, along with some more Cultists- not as many though.

Kiro was yelling targets out to the mortars and now joins the fight.

Battle is now truly joined...

TURRETS STILL OPERATING: 8

Vlad would use Flying Charge on 2 of the turrets, and defend as a defensive action, and Evade out of the 4 damage hit.

To describe the Turrets- they are inset into these dark square 'windows' set into the temple structure. There is barely enough room for a man to crawl through one, and jumping through is out the question, even for you. Each is in its own room inside the Temple.

Oh, got it. Then I would use Flying Charge throu 3 cultists and defense as a defensive action.

*had to go all the way to page 72 to catch up*

Well, battle droid tracks. Now we can easily find an entrance (I hope). Let's follow them and see where they lead.

Three for three and another infe landing from Vlad!

The Commandos come forwards; others give covering fire, and the heavies open up also. The rockets are going for the turrets, but the first two proton torpedo shots explode off the wall of the Ziggurat, covering the area in broken rock.

Kiro runs forwards, snapping down a droid as she goes. The Mortars are still taking chunks out of the troops coming around the corners of the temple. The heavy guns are doing their work, and the droids from the fnlanks have greatly suffered.

The firing back begins. Two of the heavy turrets are concentrating on you Jedi; any Defensive action you apply against them makes you pinned and unable to approach them. Meanwhile, they are starting to cut down the commandos.

Marcus takes two hits- you are under fercoious fire now!- as does Vilpa.

Wait, can I strike the turrets instead of a Flying Charge? If I could, I would strike the nearest turret, and cleave for another turret nearby.

Xeth grins widely.

"Look, droids!" Xeth says to the others, indicating the tracks. He motions for them to follow.

Well, how do you want to get to the turrets, Vlad?

-

Ok, Xeth, you and your comrades are hurrying in the snow around the outskirts of one of the lumps.

It is five minutes later that you find it- a small entrance set almost imperceptibly into the snowline. Battle droids are patrolling just around it- as is a figure that you are willing to bet is a Cultist.

I'll evade out 5 damage. Then I'll use spin and cleave on the damn cultists. Guard for defence

We'll take up positions for a attack, but not until everyone is here.

A full on five-cultist kill from Marcus!

The ferocious gunfire continues. The mortars can't fire at the group near the Temple at all now, so they open fire at the flanks.

The proton torpedo launchers score a hit this time! One of the windows, and the gun inside, is blown out.

Marcus, you take a hit from one of those Turrets, which gets you for 16 damage.

You hear a metallic rolling noise nearby...

Attack? There's a whole droid army or more in there. Xeth remembers what that was like last time, and with a whole lot more Jedi too.

"No, we're not attacking," Xeth says. "Not yet, anyway."

Xeth will approach the group, with the others behind him.

I'll blur to the turrets, then twirl on two of them, and cleave on one of the same ones. Guard for defence.

I'll snap an attack on a cultist, guard for defence.

"Kiro get up here NOW!!"

Marcus, might I suggest that you pull out of the Temple Exterior so that the heavier weapons can take down those forces faster, rather than pulling everyone up?

Also, you can attempt to retreat from those pinning cannons but throw your lightsaber at it.

And Vlad, don't think that will work.

Hope that's helpful. 🙂

Vera-Kin will follow Xeth up to the group of battle droids and Cultists.

That would be a good idea, if I wouldn't suspect those droideka's to turn up soon.
