STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Home

Dammit, oh well.

Are you keeping up the chase?

Yes. Despite the warnings, I need to get Sunda.

Then the final card choice is drawn...

Ambush

Roan has two choices here.

Thrust check. Race through the ambush before it launches!

Maneuver check. Perform some defensive driving to avoid incoming fire!

There are consequences to each that can impact the rest of the story.

Hmm, I think that my Barnstormer and Tactical Awareness pilot schticks are more suited to the defensive driving, no?

Granted, I don't have either of the schticks that add to Thrust or Maneuver.

Yes, they certain will! But... if you opt to avoid the ambush, you will lose track of the kidnapper and your Padawan as he drives back into the colony.

Ah, dammit.
Well then, lets go for the thrust check.

At the risk of sounding Regisy... is that your final answer?

Yes, even if it goes badly, Roan cannot, and will not leave his padawan behind.

Alright, rolls have been made... and there is good news and bad news.

The bad news comes first. You sense the danger just before it comes and try to floor it and race down the street before anything happens. There is a lot of power in your engines and you jolt forward as a flurry of lasers and rockets come your way. But you weren't given enough time to react, despite your Jedi reflexes. Rolling a solitary success, you fail to outrun the ambush.

A rocket strikes your portside thruster and blows it clean off, and another explodes just underneath the speeder, flipping it onto its starboard side.

The good news is that you roll overwhelming well on your Soft Landings roll, so your crash is more of a controlled roll. You and Gabriel spill out behind it, with lasers still coming down around you.

Ah, damn.
Any cover around? How about alternate forms of transportation?

Thanks to your controlled crash, the speeder is providing you two points of cover, and an extra point against lasers due to its armor.

You do not see any speeders around.

Well then, we'll have to take care of the rocket guys first. Where might they be?

You will have to peek around the speeder to find out, exposing yourself to gunfire.

The problem here is that you are not in a state to keep up this fight. The ambush in the tents and your (victorious) confrontation with Kardir has left you pretty tuckered out and close to going down.

Yea, buggering out seems like a good idea.

Retreat is viable. You are near the colony's entrance after your chase. But you won't make it out of there if you just run for it. They will chase you down and kill you.

Gabriel seems to have thought about this already and come to a decision.

"You go!" Gabriel says, charging his pistol for dramatic effect. "I'll cover you!"

"I'm not going to leave you here. We can get out of here together." Anything around that I can use as a distraction/diversion to help our retreat?

Well, you are in the middle of a street lined with makeshift tents behind a burning speeder. Your attackers are in a two-story structure firing down on you.

I am open to any pitches. Otherwise events will overtake you.

My initial thought is to make a dash for the tents. At least then they won't be able to see us as we try to make our escape, if we keep inside them.

Does Roan have Intrusion?
