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

I will fire on Arvus.
Dodge any incoming player attacks.

On we go. Apologies that Osokan numbers were over-represented last turn, though I would hope people keeping track of the battle would have spotted that 100 extra Osokans could not just materialise.

Janthis is forming tight lines of the troopers so that they are not isolated and overwhelmed by the attacking Osokans. This suits Drakkon who unleashes another log this turn that polows through the tight lines with extreme ease; he specifically makes sure it does not go towards the area where orange-shouldered commander who is doing the organising may have tried to do something about it.

Coll is organising his men bravely; certainly bravely as one of Eerin's rocket shots lands very close to him, killing a few troopers as well.

The focus of Rebel fire changes. Cass and Rhys fire at Arvus. Not a good shooting round for either of them though. Meanwhile, Kyle is still blasting at Rylis, with some success.

Rylis is still short on frames, whilst Arvus railguns up into the troops attacking Janthis' men. He kills an Osokan, but he kills a couple of troopers as well.

Jaiden is concerned by the ridiculous knife throw, and indeed it is ridiculous, requiring as it does a Strength of 10 to propel that far and a combat score of, oh, say, 15. Still, you cna worry about that later. Your shoulder is going numb- the blade is poisoned.

The STs are firing with far fewer targets this turn and don't kill anyone. But the structure has taken a lot of hits now; a great crack forms on its west side.

Sasha is across! Dead loss from trooper fire this turn as well.

Zalandos says the troopers are likely firing on sight; they won't have time to check your weapons. it;s accidental death he is worried about. This is a war zone; there are no guarantees.

He says you need to be with the others to get you through. Aside from anything else, without you they likely won't get onto your ship even if they get to the starport, except maybe Sasha. You all need each other.

(Another double shot at Rylis, wearing her down and keeping her busy. Dodge player attacks, of course.)

Yay for Knife! Thrown by Vassilik...
Where the hell is that crazy MFer?

Mass fire On Rylis this turn, she's almost done, lets take her out of this fight.

That said, Fire on Rylis and dodge player attacks.

Firing on Rylis this turn to hopefully end her. Dodge named attacks.

End point is 75, folks.

Eerin fires a rocket into Janthis' tightly grouped stormtroopers.

Dodge one shot at me.

Scarlet will make a run for it!

Sasha blasts away at stormtroopers from her safe position alongside Ranad.

"This is working out much better," she says, snapping her blaster shots at stormtroopers covering the third hole. "Thank you, Ranad."

Oh, if Eerin can't hit those troopers without killing Osokans, he will fire his rocket at Rylis instead.

Well, indeed you probably would hit Osokans, Eerin, but all of these shots on Rylis are doing diddly-squat to alter the battle.

He has a point, guys. With all these shots on Rylis, we're not really helping the Osokans out...

Eerin will fire his rocket at Coll, then, hoping that either the General will hold still and let himself be blown up or that he will have to disrupt his orders to stay clear.

Dodge a single attack.

Arvus goes to help Jaiden with his wound. Arvus has the Medicine skill to do this, but lacking immediately useful anti-toxin supplies (that, say, a Utility Belt would provide) it burns up six frames from them both.

General Coll is displaying the very finest of Imperial virtues, refusing to move his ground under heavy weapon fire. These virtues are determination, steadfastness, lack of fear and, possibly, extreme silliness as Eerin lands a 20 damage shot on Coll, taking out five troopers to boot. Coll won't last long under that kind of fire.

Drakkon unleashes another log, to great effect.

Meanwhile the Rylis-hate continues as Cass, Rhys and Kyle all fire at her again.

This leaves Rylis and Lyle shooting at Eerin. One hit landed, and Eerin has dodged himself out of acting for a bit.

Scarlet is across!

Eerin will dodge two incoming attacks as the retaliation for his good shooting comes in.

Scarlet snaps off a series of blasts at stormtroopers covering the fourth hole.

"Go!" Sasha says to Ranad, covering him with snapped shots to clear out the stormtroopers covering the third hole. If she runs out of targets, she will shoot down stormtroopers at the fourth hole.

(Ok, I'll switch to targeting Janthis. Double shot on him, dodge player attacks.)

Coll sounds like a good target to fire at as well seeing as he's kinda in charge of this whole stormtrooper thing.
But Rylis is almost out for the count, which is awesome.
I will change my fire to Coll.
Dodge player attacks.

Rhys will fire at Jaiden. Dodge named attacks.
