STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Rescue

Started by General Kaliero54 pages

I will not jump on the Force-using bandwagon, and instead Spin and Defensive Leap again.

I could get technical with you, Josh, but Spin it is! It is almost impossible for you not to kill these folks with your lightsabers and you bring down all four with great ease.

Xavier thrusts a hand forward as best as he can with a lightsaber in it, smashing two of his targets into a table.

Trax shoots down two as he tries to make his way towards you two. Mr. Big misses him again, obliterating a table instead. All the blasterfire criss-crossing around the room (4 damage to Dak, 6 damage to Xavier, 8 damage to Trax), things are starting to catch fire. Bolts shatter bottles of liquor and they explode violently behind the bar and on tables.

-

Your dodge does not quite cut it against a 19, Rianna. The knife comes whirling down the stairs (guided by the Force) and drives itself directly into your shoulder. It causes an instant burning sensation.

Having broken out of the staircase and moved onto one of the rickety wooden bridges connecting the two towers of the saloon, he taps into his reserves and runs quickly with Speed even as he throws the knife. He is determined to keep his distance.

Xavier will Twirl.

Defend for Defense

Don't get technical with me! It's supposed to be freezing!

More Spinning because it's funny. Dak is a dancer of death.

Defend for defense.

I take it my Combat Push never happened?

Rianna will keep running after him, using one hand to pull the knife out of her shoulder and using the other to throw her lightsaber at him (Saber Throw, obviously).

Cripes, yeah, forgot that while updating in the wee hours of the morning. It missed but I didn't include it in the update. The knife also caused 8 damage.

Xavier and Dak strike down their six collectively, with Trax accompanying with two of his own. They take six damage apiece (eight for Trax) as they reflect shots away from themselves and sweep through the crowd.

Mr. Big rolls a 19 when blasting off another charge at Trax! Trax takes ten damage and is blasted straight out the front window of the saloon as he dives clear.

-

Straight line of sight for Rianna to be flinging her lightsaber suits the situation well, but a 9 is a miss when he dodges and rushes out to the middle of the bridge.

But he seems to have led you into an ambush of sorts, as more Shepherds appear, rappeling down from the seventh floor bridge above you and drawing swords.

Pool refresh for Dak and Xavier! They are due to defend themselves again from the shooters, then make their next move.

Defend for defense, then Xavier will force push one patron, and Mr. Big.

Yay refresh!

Spin into the crowd again, Defensive Leap for defense.

Oh, damnit, you totally took advantage of Rianna's stubbornness here...😛

Does she have her lightsaber back? When will she have that back if she doesn't?

Any particular thing you are trying to achieve with the Push on Mr. Big, Xavier? Being more important the mooks, you can either knock him over or disarm him.

And yes, Rianna has her lightsaber back just as the ambush is sprung.

Xavier will try and disarm him so that gun stops firing.

Rianna will use a Strike against the Leader, and Defend against the rest.

The leader is three frames distant, having run out onto the middle of the bridge.

Ahh, okay. Hmm. Blur to him, I suppose, then. Still Defend against the others.

Also, question - this won't change my current move, but just in case. How far down is the next bridge? And is it a distance that Rianna would be able to safely drop to (using Fall if necessary) if a quick escape is needed?

Dak is carving through the flesh of patrons left and right! Four kills and four damage as he leaps about through the crowd.

Xavier makes a rough forward gesture that flings a patron against a table, then reconcentrates his energy on Mr. Big and, with a tug, yanks the concussion rifle from his grip so that he has to fumble for it for an action. He takes five damage.

Trax takes cover and gets two kills in.

The room is beginning to heat up severely from the hundreds of lasers burning up the air and setting fire to everything it possibly can- fallen patrons, tables, liquor, the walls, the ceiling, the floor... soon it will be hard to bear...

-

It is an action to leap down to the next bridge below and an Acrobatics roll to do so successfully. If you fail that, Fall might come in handy...

Rianna Blurs at the leader, but he responds with a Cut and Roll, ducking off to the side and cutting her for 6 damage. This gives the other Shepherds a clear shot and one hits for another 6 damage... and then the toxin from the thrown knife kicks in and she feels as if her arm is on fire and she takes yet another 4 damage. All this factored in, Rianna is now acting on a -3 penalty and surrounded by foes...

Perhaps it is time for Rianna to call for help, or run away 😛

Ouch...yeah, Rianna's in big trouble if she doesn't run now.

Which she will do. She will feint as though she's going to attack the leader, but instead flip over the side of the bridge, landing on the one below (use Fall if necessary). Once down there, Blur back to the stairway she used to come up and then run down the stairs.

Is it possible to head outside now, before the place blows?

Also, would it be possible to deflect a laser into all the booze behind the bar to make it explode?
