STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Trials

Started by Captain REX59 pages

You sense people around, but it is hard to make out where... harder still to differentiate between your slaves and other lifeforms... your senses are not fine-tuned.

We need some kind of light to be effective. How much light is filtering from the corridor outside?

Not a great deal.

There is light filtering from under doorways within the corridor, though.

Would Xavier be able to use a Combat Push to fling the doors open?

They open outwards and latch from the inside. If it is locked, you won't be able to, but a simple Pull would do it.

Well Xavier's slaves will need light to fight so it is a risk worth taking.

Xavier will use Combat Push to try and open the door.

The door rattles, but does not open. It is locked from within.

"I can take care of this," Trax says, placing his blaster rifle against the door handle. He sends a bolt through the door at close range, blasting it open.

From within, five pirates spill out! Your slaves have not yet joined you.

"Trax stay behind and get the slaves in!"

With that Xavier will make an attack at two of the pirates using Twirl.

Defend for Defense

Battle resumes!

The pirates throw themselves at you, but you Draw your lightsaber and cut one of them down in your Twirl, the other ducking under your blade as it sweeps through.

Trax makes sure that the slaves advance into the area.

Xavier snaps an attack at one of the Pirates.

Use Defend for Defense.

A single pirate attacks you, the others opening fire on the incoming slaves! A standard dodge for you keeps you clear from the attack, but two of your fighters are blasted down. Your snapped attack goes in on a 20, running the pirate through.

Down the corridor, more doors open as pirates respond to the gunfire... and the Taskmaster has reappeared!

Next action, more slaves will come to reinforce you.

Xavier uses Strike and attacks the Taskmaster.

Defend for Defense

The Taskmaster is down the corridor and not within Striking distance, so I will simply perform a snapped attack on another pirate. Easy money, Xavier, that pirate too is run through.

The pirates, having come out from their quarters, use their opened hatch doors as cover. They duck behind them when the slaves blast at them. The thick doors prove to be excellent cover; the bolts send showers of sparks everywhere, but only one pirate is hit, a bolt burning his shoulder. That pirate falls out of cover, leaving him an easy target for Trax to finish off.

The grenadier tries his luck with a grenade. The pirates scatter in fear of the explosion... but it turns out that the grenade was a dud. It sparks and sputters some smoke, but no explosion.

More slaves have joined you, and a Heavy with his concussion rifle. The grenadier has two more grenades.

Would the heavy's weapon be able to blast the Pirates Cover apart?

If the heavy can take it out Xavier will snap an attack on Pirate.

If he can not then Xavier will try and cut the hatch door off its hinges.

If he can not do that then another simple Snap on a PIrate.

Defend for Defense.

The cover consists of multiple hatch doors that have been opened in the hallway. If the heavy blasts through their cover, he will kill any pirates with the explosion. The grenadier is lucky enough to ignore their cover.

Advancing down the corridor a short distance, you raise your lightsaber as a shield in your Defense. Incoming blaster bolts from five pirates are easily deflected, but the Taskmaster seems to catch you out and barely slips a shot past your guard for 2 damage.

Trax dodges one of the three pirates attacking him, but takes hits from a 17 and a 15, for 6 and 4 damage respectively, 10 points total.

Four slaves are shot down, and the pirates receive more reinforcements as the motley crew keeps emerging from their quarters.

The pirates are in striking distance; in this instance, you can ignore their cover with your lightsaber. The Taskmaster is hanging back, keeping his distance from you.

Xavier uses Twirl to attack two Pirates.

Defend for Defense.

You pick out a pair of pirates, cowering behind a door as you approach. But the door is an obstacle you can ignore. With an upward diagonal slash to the right, your lightsaber cuts straight through the door and kills them both. No sweat, Xavier.

The exchange of gunfire back and forth down the corridor is fierce. The slaves pour their blaster fire into the nearest pirates, the doors rattling with sparks. Three pirates get shot down.

Trax guns for the Taskmaster, dealing 7 damage on a snapped attack.

The grenadier tries his luck again, tossing another grenade. This time it lands in a place amongst the pirates... but turns out to be a flash-bang grenade. Flashing bursts of light fill the corridor briefly, stunning two pirates for a moment.

The heavy also has no luck; his concussive blast smashes into a side of the corridor, warping the metal.

The first grenadier has one grenade left, but a second has arrived with nine more slaves.

Xavier snaps an attack on Pirate.

Defend for Defense.

He also tells everyone to make sure and concentrate their fire.

Five pirates attempt to shoot you down as you continue your terrifying advance, spinning across the corridor between doorways and deflecting shots as you go. One hits you for 3 damage. The rest of the pirates keep hammering away at your forces, killing four.

The Taskmaster has changed targets, having been irked by Trax. The shot he fires zips straight down the corridor and burns across Trax's shoulder for 7 damage despite his dodge.
