STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Decay

LaKresha whirls around as she moves to between you two with arms outstretched in a wide slash. She rolls 14 against Sparnik's dodge, for 7 damage, but she rolls 4 against you.

LaKresha is going to move away from you guys as the dropship approaches the cliff, towards the cliff's edge.

Can I use a combat push to hurl her down the cliff, or otherwise use that to my advantage?

That would be Fling for a Named Character. A Combat Push would only push her prone.

Would retreat be an option for us?

A retreat could be in order. Unless you want to try disabling the dropship before anyone manages to get out...

Maybe a master sabre throw could do the trick?

If you were to roll admirably and strike the engines as the dropship turns about... normally the plating there is meant to resist blasterfire and all, but a lightsaber ignores armor.

Well, I would give that a try, I think it's probably worth it.

You roll... 13! Using the Force to guide your throw, you hurl your lightsaber almost like a spear as it arcs up through the air. It comes down with a flash and sinks into the portside engine of the dropship as it turns about for its side gunner to shoot at you. Instead, the engine fails as your lightsaber melts it! It wobbles and drifts to one side, appearing to hang in the air by the remaining good engine. Panicking, the side gunner fires off flurries that strike the cliff.

If looks could kill, LaKresha's would have shredded your body by now.

Returning the stare, Con yells at her forcibly "We will end this here"..

"We shall!" LaKresha shouts back, but she simply looks up at the drifting dropship. As Grotos try to fling themselves out onto the cliffside, the pilot is trying to regain control. His efforts are futile without that portside engine... but the dropship is now very rapidly coming directly at you and Sparnik! The pilot opens fire with the forward blasters, a line of fire splitting the earth between you and the freedom fighter.

Do I have my lightsabre back?

It is on its way back, but the dropship will have fired at you before it reaches you. As a Heavy Weapons attack, you will have to dive clear of it... what is your Combat score?

Combat score of 11

Not bad! That will be the difficulty to hit you with this volley from the dropship. Do you want to dive clear?

Yeah, I'd say so.

Con dives clear as lasers tear a path between him and Sparnik! 13 from the pilot's attack is a Near Miss, so when Con dives clear he takes no damage as he gets away from the explosions. Sparnik does the same.

However, the dropship is now unable to stop its crooked attack run and is careening towards the mountainside above you all...

Should we get out of the way from a rock slide or something?

Might be a good idea...

I will signal Sparnik then to get out of the way, and do so myself as well.
