STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Learner

Indeed they are. As they advance up the corridor, a combined Combat Push from you and Ciira knocks a few backwards. The droids behind them start firing, blaster bolts filling the limited space of the hall. But in your doorway you are safe for now.

For now being key, I am sure.

Rianna will ignite her lightsaber, using the Force to guide it as she flings it at one of the droids with a Saber Throw.

This building is not particularly sturdy, so considering your cover as lasting would probably not be the greatest of plans, no.

The droid falls in two as your lightsaber slashes through it, then returns to you. But from the nozzle flare of their blasters revealing the dim outlines of the droids, you can see no end to their numbers.

Ciira is unleashing powerful Combat Pushes that lay droids flat or disarm them so that they try closing into close combat where she cuts them down with her lightsaber.

"There's too many!" she shouts to you.

"This was a terrible idea!" Rianna shouts back, using a Combat Push against another pair of droids. "We're not going to be able to hold them off!"

Is there any way they can get out of the building? Like, a window or something like that in one of the rooms?

All windows and side doors are covered with blast shields. There is a window in the room behind you, but you would have to spend time cutting the shield open.

The hallway is crumbling under the intense firing rate of the battle droids. Chunks of the walls fall away, spraying dust and sparks into the air around you. Spots of the wooden floor are flickering with flames as repeated strikes from blaster bolts set them aflame.

And then it all stops. The lasers cease and the droids fade away into nothingness.

"Now what?" Rianna asks, though she is glad that the attack has seemed to have stopped.

Does she sense any danger or anything?

Not immediate, but it is growing.

There is a set of heavy footsteps coming closer, and many clattering steps of the droids moving away.

Are there any doorways up there that are in better shape than the one that Rianna is currently using as cover that she could move into? Because we're kinda trapped at the moment...

"I do not like this. Stay ready..." she says to Ciira, adjusting the grip on her lightsaber. Is anything visible?

A shadow falls across the light coming down the hallway, coming from a imposing figure at the end of it.

Does Rianna recognize this imposing figure at all?

(I may have a vague idea or two...)

Let's hear those vague ideas.

Weird robot guy from Beseedra?

As he stomps his way down the corridor, you can indeed see that it your cyborg 'friend' from Beseedra. He does not speak when he sees you. Instead, he just raises his right arm at you.

Yeah, friend, sure...

Rianna's eyes widen as Mr. Walking Weapon raises his arm at her, remembering the weapons she saw him use before.

"Move, he's got a rocket launcher!" she shouts at Ciira, diving back into the room she is in the doorway of.

Your memory serves you well. The flare of the rocket erupts from the launcher in his arm and soars down the hallway. He aims slightly downward so that it connects with the floor just as you pull yourself through the doorway. The explosion lights up the room and hurls you onto your face, the weakened wall behind collapsing in fractured pieces around you.

The hallway behind you is shattered and raging with flames, but they do not seem to bother Mr. Walking Weapon. He steps straight through the fire, choosing his steps carefully as he strides through the broken wall to meet you as you rise, hands clenched before him as hulking metal fists.

Rianna will ignite her lightsaber as she scrambles to her feet and backs away from Mr. Walking Weapon, prepared to attack if he makes any moves (and also active dodge any attacks at her).

He approaches, extending a dazzling amount of sharp blades from his knuckles, hands, and wrists. He moves in slowly, giving you a chance to attack before he does...

As a reminder, you are on 61 damage. Your cover spared you most of the concussive damage of the rocket, but you did not emerge unscathed and you have a -1 penalty.

Rianna will attack Mr. Walking Weapon using Strike, slashing out with her lightsaber and hoping to disarm him (possibly literally). Active Dodge if he attacks.

Just before you Strike, an injection system jabs a thick needle into his jugular vein. The ponderous man increases his Speed, making him surprisingly nimble as he dashes into close combat.

You roll a 2. As you sweep your lightsaber downwards on his arm, he twists out of the way.

Rianna: 8(4)/61/3

?: 0/4

Initiative is yours.

Annoying...Rianna will Strike again, already frustrated with how this fight is going.

Active Dodge as defense.
