I wouldn't bother with firing at Drakkon, to be honest - even if it hits it's not going to do much.
And I'm pretty sure that at this point we're on normal damage tracks instead of simply retreating at 50 damage 😛 so I'm not in danger yet, and I am indeed saving my stuff for Drakkon. Though right now I'm not even sure when we'll be able to get to him...
Rylis will take a bit of a break from shooting at Eerin, and this time will fire into the Osokans that are fighting Janthis and his troops (wooo CoC). Dodge one player attack.
Hmm.
Coll wants to call a retreat so that he can organize his forces for a better planned assault on the Justice Pit and the Osokans on top of it. The retreat will go as far as the base, where the majority of our stormtrooper forces are. The retreat will be covered by stormtroopers there and the AT-STs to the rear.
I hope the Commanders agree, because Janthis will need to pull back himself and help me with the retreat.
Also, can Coll expend the lives of stormtroopers as they sacrifice themselves to protect him, rather than constantly dodging? Otherwise, I will never get anything done unless I pull back further.
That being said, can I still organize the forces on the battlefield from the Distant location?
The Imperials are pulling back! Coll and Janthis alike do their utmost to pull their forces off the steps with the minimumn of casualties, to prepare for a second assault. Drakkon in fact has to give orders to his forces not to pursue, as was their instinct, lest they lose all their advantage by charging into the mass at the base. Rylis blasts away at the Osokans to help cover this move, as does Aruvs as well with his railgun, this time avoiding killing any troopers as they withdraw.
Jaiden fires another heavy weapon shot at Drakkon, which he jumps clear of to avoid most of the blast.
Lyle blasts at Eerin, who stands fast and does well to- a miss.
Kyle goes for Janthis, and rolls a 19 ans a 20... nasty! he catches Janthis dead on during his withdrawl. Cassius lands a hit on Coll, whilst Rhys snap fires at Coll for little effect.
This place is a bloodbath- there are hundreds od dead troopers on the sides! The Osokans cheer and taunt.
"GENERAL COLL!" yells out Drakkon, loudly. "COME MEET ME!"
Coll- nope, they have height advantage and can pick out out. You an lead from further back, yes, but not to as great an effect.

Melkor- Nidar queries that. he says he is receiving requests on the ground in that area for bombardment support; it's not safe.

"There may be useful evidence left in the Guild Hall. I am sure that the troopers will do well on their own. General Coll is currently busy leading in front line, but he doesn`t mind."- Commisar speaks firmly.
I meant Guild Hall itself, not entire area.
Oh, and why are those idiots happy- Coll, please tell Drakkon that he cannot save his worthless race.

Well, it's difficult to be that specific, but in any case he was talking about the Guild Hall.
No. I want those Osokans at the one quarter up point removed. Anyone with heavy weapons, concentrate your fire on the Osokans that just pushed us off of the Justice Pit.
Coll orders the AT-STs to be brought forward, concentrating their fire one quarter of the way up the pyramid where the majority of the Osokans are, and for the stormtroopers at the base to surround the Justice Pit entirely before he initiates the assault.
"You can't possibly hope to win!" Coll shouts up the pyramidal structure. His once crisp uniform is damp from the light rain and spattered with mud and blood. "Your people, your world, your city, they're all doomed! The might of the Imperial Army will see to it!"

When it comes to retaking the Justice Pit's first section once more, I will be heading up onto the Justice Pit's structure, alongside Jaiden and Janthis. This will increase our numbers on the pyramid, not to mention that I will be having the Osokans cleared our a bit before we attack.
