And without a skill, you need 6s. However, there are ways Jovan can try and stack things in his favour.

How?

It will be an Agility roll, Vlad, to run away from the successfully.

Jovan- ah well, that's kinda for you to determine! But I'll give you one thing; you have Presence, which can give you +3 to any Sneak roll.

Wentar- well, then the situation will be swapped around as they start to strafe you guys! But they are a few turns off yet.

Then I think I'll take my chances and try to lure away as much droids as I possibly can.

I guess I'll have to go and freshen up on what Presence is... 'cause from what I understand it's nothing to do with sneaky 😕

It incorporates the ability to use the Force to distract.

From what I understand, Presence represents the ability to control how people perceive you. Either you use it to +3 Social rolls which makes you an important or imposing figure, or you use it to make yourself not very interesting to the mind of your targets. Think about when Obi-Wan made the clicky noise on the Death Star to distract the stormtroopers.

Ush, I remember in the old system you could just evade and decrease their chances of hitting you while in a starship. Is Wentar able to tie up some of the fighters that way?

In any case, Wentar, you probably want to buzz off once the droid fighters get here.

Unless Vlad could get to a starship, which isn't likely.

We're definitely flying in your ship.

If you are sure, I'll make the change now, but it will be final.

Vlad- indeed, you can try that!


I'm sure.

I think I need Sean's action before I continue the main battle, ans I think Wentar wants to see what develops there.

Xeth, you are coming into land back at the evac point, in prep for your third run!

Xeth hurriedly sets the ship down, knowing that the enemy forces are fast approaching.

"Come aboard!" Xeth shouts out to the evacuees. He notices that Vera-Kin and Jovan are still not present, but says nothing to alarm the crowd. He then spins his chair around to check the sensors for enemy fighter activity.

Sadly, shouting 'come aboard!" does indeed mess up the crowd situation, as there are still three times what you can cope with there...

Can I draw my pistol quickly and take some pot shots at some of the droids from the safety of my cover? I really need to thin their numbers before I engage them in close combat, otherwise it would be suicide.

Waiting till we get moving...

Sean- sure, you can start firing form there. That the plan?

-

A third period of rest from Denz and Kiu sees them restore another 15 health each.

Yup, that'll be the plan. As well as switching out whirling strike for gunslinger.

Vera-Kin leaps down and, tapping Orthodox Guars, strikes at the Cultists. With that tap she will hit on any result other than 3 on the dice, and hence rolls ten successes from 14 of them (incouding the four extra dice a sabre gets against MNooks). As Vera is using Cleave, she can in fact kill two in one go if she rolled enoufg successes, which she most certainly had. Two down! And the tap, combined with having Block active so she gets bith Defence and Parry, also means their return fire is ineffectual.

She how the Master does it...

A Cleave tap now would slow your kills, Vera, but negate the next ten successes these guys roll against you.

-

Sean takes a shot, neatly taking a droid down. Selenian firepower quickly takes down another seven for only two losses, before the droids move into tehir own cover.

The tanks, however, are now in position. Their first attack blows away one piece of cover for the Selenians, the second kills the two defenders.

Vlad- another 25 and a tank coming for you! You can make the Agility roll now, or succeed automatically by using Dash.

CITY AMBUSH- START OF TURN 2

Vera-Kin (LS 10/Force Points 10) 3/3/0 (Orthodox Guard/Block/Cleave)- in two points of cover

Cultists x8 (G 6): 0

Whats Denz, and Kiu's health situation now?

Yeah! That was awesome. I think Vera-Kin will indeed tap Cleave, while swapping Orthodox Guard out for Balanced Guard so that she gets that point of Armor in. And attack another Cultist, of course.

-

Vera-Kin leaps down, igniting her lightsaber as she does so. She lands atop the debris she had dropped to crush the Cultists in her ambush, then leaps from it and spins through the air. Her lightsaber passes through a Cultist's torso and cleanly cuts him in half, and she lands again before performing another spinning blow that cleaves through a second Cultist's thighs, removing his legs and taking him out of the fight.

With two opponents removed, Vera-Kin turns on the defensive, using her agile fighting style to avoid the shots rather than deflect them, though she does so if the lasers come too close. She strafes one particular burst then runs forward and flips over a Cultist, her lightsaber catching his torso as she does.

Guns team had best come up with a plan that is relatively quick, as time is turning against you!

Leaves you on 25 and Kiu on 15, Denz.

Vera- just waiting for Jovan to start up...

If I make a bombing run will I get hit by all the ground units?

We head for the ship, while Kiu flys, maybe I can rest up another turn? that should do the trick, right? "Best be on the move. Don't want to keep the Selonians waiting for there help too much longer." He chuckles. "We should hurry." Can I get any reading from the comlink on whats going on with the battle?
