USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (DARK SIDE)- The Way Back

Gallador gave in to his demons, revealing in his justifiied anger! Even as he was a Jedi, he begun to hate all those vermins- pirate scum, slavers, they were all petty and covardly beings, who preyed upon the weak and suffering! Oh, he knew how to deal with those kind- let the evil they bring fell back upon them, show no mercy, no quarter! But the Jedi Order didn`t see it this way, was not willing to heal the wounds of galaxy... they were even more pathetic in wasting their powers!

And now his eyes were burning with unholy flame, and he felt the fear and pain of his enemies dying around him. His pain was there too, but he was powerful enough to turn it to his advantage. If they only could do something about those gunships...

Ushgarak, moving Alongside track to attack Pirates there. You forgot I am using Strenght From Fear too! And no way to make eye contact with any pilot of gunship?

Also, I am using Strenght From Pain and snapping one frame attacks!

Xavier starts his Twirl frenz! He'll have to move about a bit to make it work. And his first attack actually misses!

Rianna, strength not your strong point, so that takes a fair bit of Force jumping up there! Just to be annoying, you then blow two re-rolls to get your first kill!

Dak- yes it can. One frame to jump back across the chasm, three down to the track. Gallador and Galder come with you. No way to get eye contact, no.

Tanic seems to have not posted an action? He loses a frame.

A DREADFUL round from the Pirates- no hits, and with an impressive Reflection, Takuan kills one that was on the rock.

Rianna takes a seven point hit from one of the gunship lasers... and all three of them then fire at the big mass of people on the track, scoring two near misses. The one who doesn't lose a lot of frames from this is Gallador, who takes ten damage instead, only five of which can he reasonably pain out.

Takuan goes for a gunship, but -2 isn't good enough to hurt it.

After a kill from Rianna, the bad guys fire again!

Hit on Rianna, for five.

And a direct hit on Rand, for eight, which I guess he pains.

The smaller gunship guns have no effect this time, but they cointue to pound the crap out of their line of fire where a load of people have run across. At least, now you have dived for cover, they can't atack all of you at once, but two attack one area and one attacks another.

One misses, one near misses, and we have an actual hit from one, on Tanic and Lenikan. That leaves Tanic impaired, and a heedless-of-risk Gallador is hit again.

Not actually much for you guys to do, seeing as half of you are standing in the middle of a ricket atack, but someone might want to post tactical advice...

(awaits spaz from Rianna)

Takuan and Rand should strike the gunships with force attacks!

And people spread out! Gallador has to spend pain pool, so he would snap attacks on pirates till he is framed out.

Yes indeed, spreading out instead of bunching around Tanic is a damn good idea.

Since I have carnavel of carnage I'm going to snap my remaing attacks.
Hey don't know if this is a stupid idea or not but can't someone force attack a rocket launcer on the ship to have a rocket blow up on the inside of the ship. That could do some damage. Defend for defence

React: Push/Pull needed to mess around with the rockets like that.

and a damn good roll.
yeah, spread out guyz. and try to cover all the target places.

i'm trying with they gunships.
another master throw at one

Uhh.....didn't I say to NOT stay in groups and rather to split up when we're being attacked by heavy weaponry? Why do you think I told Xavier to go on ahead to the generator while I'd stay there?

Seriously, start paying attention to what I say, especially when I give out specific advice like that.

Snap an attack at a pirate, Defend for defense.

yes...you need shields to practice the roman phalang formation guys 😛...so you can split up now

Why everyone jump around Tanic? 🙁

Guys, don't cluster in groups! And if you're going to, at least post you will DIVE AWAY from any attacks by heavy weapons!!!!!

So, Ush, could Tanic run and master jump from the edge of the drop?

Sorry - didn't notice you post up the new sequence.

If Tanic can run and jump, then he does so. Reaction-Reflect on attacks from the gunship. Dive away from any heavy weapons attacks.

If not, snapped attacks on two Pirates around the track. Defend and dive away.

On any heavy weapons attacks, Tanic will dive away from the danger.

I actually assume a dive away- but it is costing a lot of frames!

Tanic, you can try. There is an element of risk involved, which I am sure I don't need to specify.

What sort of risk is it?

How far is it... And how far is a master jump?

If I don't get on after ou reply, Tanic will try to make the jump.

A Master jump is of variable distance. It would cost you four force points.

The risk is that you cock up and fall off the mountain.

Lol. How big is that risk...?

I don't have Fall, though - if I did, I'd say screw it and jump...

Falling off a mountain is a little beyond force powers!

Youd; have to cock up pretty badly for a catosthophic failure like that. But lesser failues could easily lead to you having to land on a gun and then get shot by it- or worse, the rocket launcher.

Well then... Screw it and jump.

If I land on a gun, can I React-stab my sabre into it. Then jump onto the body of the ship.

I don't know why every is around Tanic. I was moving toward the generator since only Xavier is up there, but there was no way in hell I was gonna get there in a single turn, due to my frames being slaughtered by defense. so I moved to the next spot, and it seems that Galder and Gallador got clumped with me...

Defend for defense, and Dive for heavy attacks, Ush...

Why is nobody moving to atop rocks and shield generator? I can`t, I have to spend my Pain force pool on Hatred-powered snapped attacks!

Okay.....this is mostly for the benefit of the new guys.....but yes, I am going to yell at everyone. And this is quite important.

Do NOT blatantly ignore advice that is given out by another player!!! If one of us who has been playing the game for a while says to do or don't do something, it'll probably be in your best interests to listen. Like how I said that when we're facing heavy weapons fire it's best to split up, instead of standing around in groups. The more seperated everyone is, the less likely it is that you'll be hit. But what happens? Five people wind up clumped in a group and surprise surprise, you got blown up. Seriously. Do NOT ignore advice or suggestions like that. We know what we're talking about.
