USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME EPISODE I 'LANZAR'- Rebel Alliance Thread

Hmm.

Since the Osokans aren't going to be much use with it, Scarlet will arm her skiff gun instead of her two-gun attack on the Commanders. She will fire at the stormtroopers in Janthis' group.

Ok Skiffers.
Concentrate your fire on one part of the Stormtrooper grouping so you can blow a hole and then fly right though.

Rhys will also fire the gun on his skiff, into Janthis' group.

"Don't slow down, they aren't worth it! Straight to the artillery!"

The troopers are already blocking access; the Rebels will have to punch a hole through.

Ok, here goes!

As the skiffs race in, Scarlet gets behind the skiff gun and unloads a barrage of fire at Janthis' stormtrooper group, taking down four of them.

Janthis is wielding a grenade launcher. He's firing at one of the skiffs! But with a a skill of 8, rolling a ten is not enough; a blast rocks the skiffs but does no more.

Commander Jaiden has a similar idea, aiming a concussion rifle shot at a skiff. He rolls a 10 but then improves that with a Fortune spend, and with a skill of 11 that is a hit!

(Scarlet, that's your Skiff- maybe you should have taken the wheel...)

Scarlet rolls a 12 on her acrobatics roll to get clear as the skiff blows... made it!

Rhys is gunning at Janthis's troopers also; another four fall.

We then have a vicious exhange of fire between the skiffs and the troopers, which ends with troopers dead and two skiffs downed.

--

At the walls...

Arvus, down below, is sniping away at Osokans at the middle.

Eerin charges forwards to take on enemy troopers! Three of them fall quickly.

Rylis then surprises the rebels somewhat by activating her jetpack and flying up to the top of the engagement! She opens fire on Kyle- and a 12 is a hit!

Kyle, meanwhile, was covering Eerin against troopers when that happened.

Watch your frames, folks.

Note that for speed purporses atttacks on mooks are receiving a generic 'good' result instead of dice rolling. Having wounded mooks around is a pain when fighting on this scale.

Scarlet rolls to the ground, rising to a crouched position with her pistols drawn.

"Forward!" Scarlet shouts, drawing bead on Jaiden and another stormtrooper with her pistols. She opens fire on the two while moving towards them with the Osokans.

If all Osokans can concentrate their firepower on Janthis' troops, that'd be good. Stormtroopers should be on frame 7 also.

Eerin eyes Rylis with obvious distaste, but continues to concentrate his efforts on the stormtroopers.

Parry if Rylis, Arvus, or Lyle fire at Eerin.

Kyle spins to face Rylis at her attack and immediately drops his rifle. Speed drawing his pistol, he opens fire on the irksome bounty hunter, sending a pair of bolts at her. Then he dives for cover.

(Double-Shot with a light pistol. I've got Gunslinger lvl4 and Eagle Eye lvl 1. I also want to roll behind some cover after my shot if I can, to dodge her counter attack.)

Someone Issue orders for the skiffs! Concentrate fire on one section so you guys can get through! Your gonna get slaughtered if you stay!

There's no practical way to do that.

The majority of our soldiers are not going to be able to speak Basic. Giving orders will be difficult.

Scarlet races forwards, both guns firing. She takes down one of jaiden's troopers and also takes a shot at Jaiden himself. She rolls an 11- fair shot, but Jaiden dodges and it misses.

Rhys continues firing as his skiff closes. That's the last thing he manages on that Skiff, though, before Jaiden blows that one clear as well, though he has to use all his re-rolls from 'Lucky' to do it.

Jaiden- who said those heavy weapons were having no effect? Those skiffs didn't just blow up on their own you know. Your orders are unclear as to what you are firing; I can only repeat what you did last turn and that misses again.

The two trooper groups consolidate to fill the gaps. However this reduces their fighting effectiveness this turn and only one further skiff is destroyed.

The five remaining skiffs have now reached the trooper lines, at high speed! Interesting to see what happens next.

At the wall...

Kyle spins and pulls off an amazingly fast snapshot at Rylis with a different weapon, not blinking an eyelid. It NEARLY hits but Rylis makes a dodge, jinking with her jetpac as she comes into land at the wall's edge. Rylis rolls a 20 when she fires back! She's on form!

Arvus makes a bit of a mess of things, trying to super-snap a weapon with a reload time. Other than a rocket launcher there cannot be a weapon less suited to that. I won't waste his frames, but as the roll was not great either his attack goes nowhere.

Eerin fights on, though as with his Osokan comrades he's going to get a little battered in such a fight, as he swats away more troopers.

The mass fights continue, though now the troopers are starting to get moving up again.

(Dammit, that would have been a really cool hit to make. I bet Lana's just rolling in the aisles. 🤣 over there.)

Irritated at missing Rylis, Kyle takes aim at her again firing another two shots her way.
(Double Shot again.)

Scarlet continues her confident stride towards the stormtroopers, moving to join Rhys as he lands in front of her. She repeats her tactic of giving Jaiden a shot to think about and blowing away one of his men.

How far away is Rylis from Eerin?

Rhys fires at Jaiden alongside his fellow Rebel. "You get bored of riding along, too? I thought my legs could use a little stretch!"

"I thought it'd make these stormtroopers more of a challenge," Scarlet scoffs.

Call it two turns for you. Certainly enough time for her to jetpac away from your alien ass. Gives her a bit of an edge, that does, in the open.

Dammit, I wanted to hack her into tiny pieces...

Eerin will attack a stormtrooper with a snapped Quick Attack, then.

Parry only if Rylis, Arvus, or Lyle attack.

Commanders- pleasse be aware that all your equipment is deployed and in use, the effects are simply generic.

Janthis opens fire on one of the skiff pilots! 13 is not a kill but certainly puts the pilot off his stride!

Now the masses act. And the skiffs go for the 'bludegon straight through' approach. All five of them do not breka their pace, though the one Janthis shot at does not do well.

This is now a bit of a mess; two more skiffs are downed, a load of troopers are crushed (others being shot first)... but the skiffs are bogged down in the mass.

Jaiden finds himself under fire from both rebels! He dodges Scarlet's shot with her second pistol, but Kyle lands a hit. He's armoured, of course. His dodging also rules out his action for now.

And now Rhys and some of the Osokans have reached the trooper lines!

--

The battle at the wall rages on.

Kyle blasts away at a dodging Rylis! One miss and one hit, though although Kyle's Eagle Eye is mitigating Rylis' armour that light pistol doesn't quite have the blast away power he wants against her.

Rylis fires back and rolls a 10 exactly! Kyle is not dodging and that is a dead-on hit.

(Ouch. Ok I'll repeat the double shot, but dodge her return fire. If there is cover, I'd like to take advantage of it.)
