STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Rescue

Started by General Kaliero54 pages

Dak will roll to his feet, trying to escape melee combat and get out of the crowd that is cruelly slaughtering his scaly tail. He'll look for a way up onto the roof.

Master Jump will do it, Dak. Meeting up with Rianna could be your best option here.

Good, help Rianna finish up her fight.

Let's get this moving, then...

Dak is quite the fighter, but the Shaman is causing him problems and there are too many warriors for him to deal with alone. He scrambles to his feet and initiates a Master Jump, spending five Force points to carry himself up onto the roof.

The Shaman seems to think that you are not getting away so easily... and uses his spear to polejump halfway up the roof and smash through a window...

Rianna evades the Shepherd (he rolled a 1), then keeps clear from the Shepherd before promplty spear one through the chest with a lightsaber (having rolled an 18, overkill on the wounded target).

Going to let Rianna catch up with Dak in frames before seeking Dak's action.

Xavier will be returning to things at the start of the third sequence, frame 36.

Rianna will Active Dodge Shepherd C, and then snap attacks at both of the remaining Shepherds.

The Shepherd commando is dodged (once more rolling poorly) but when Rianna rounds on her target, he decides to be aggravating. Instead of being impaled, he dodges and lets her lightsaber bounce off of his shield with a crackle. She avoids the other Shepherd and retaliates against him, but he stays standing as he dodges too.

Rianna refreshes! Attacks from all coming in.

And Xavier returns the victor in his duel against the Force-using Shepherd, having firmly knocked his opponent to the ground and placed a solid foot on his chest.

"My time has not yet come," he retorts when you threaten his life.

He grabs your foot and twists hard, successfully sending you crashing to the ground as you lose your balance. When you regain your feet, you lunge for him, striking with a pair of jabs that he braces himself against, the shield saving him from being spit upon your swords.

You come at him from the right with a strong blow that he lifts his arm against, blocking with his shield. You come at him from the left and he feints a defense, instead letting your lightsaber slip past before he thrusts his shield into it, foiling your attack as your lightsabers crash together.

He reaches out a hand for his lightsaber... to which you instinctually respond by tearing off his hand with one quick slice. It catches the lightsaber before falling to the ground, and the Shepherd falls to the ground, writhing in pain.

He is no longer a threat, Xavier. The pain will leave him incapacitated.

"Your time is here and it is ours to do with as we please. Your saber is now our trophy."
Xavier quickly retrieves the fallen lightsaber. He will quickly get to work fixing what he has done to the system.

... oh dear.

It seems that the Shepherd decided not to get technical. There are molten streaks where he dragged his lightsaber through the defense system computers.

The good news is that you think you can fix it. He only destroyed the control panels, not the actual equipment that operates the guns.

Rianna will Defend against the attacks, before again changing tactics; she feints as though to attack the injured Shepherd but instead turns on Shepherd C with a Combination.

Xavier will make his attempt then to fix it.

Rianna manages to avoid the lesser Shepherds but takes a hit for 11 damage from the leader! She does not like that, and destroys the leader with a 13 and an 18 on her Combination, cutting him into three pieces.

-

Xavier needs to accumulate ten successes to fix the defense system, taking actions to fix it. He rolls a 4... nothing. You will have to keep trying.

You are now on frame 39.

The Shepherds are attacking Rianna as Dak does not arrive until frame 31.

Xavier keeps trying

Xavier works at it... 19! Five successes there. Then 17 for three successes, and another 17! Good rolling. The defense system will be back online at frame 48, a little over a sequence for Rianna and Dak to sweat it out...

Rianna will Defend, and then snap an attack on the injured Shepherd.

When Xavier finishes his work he will head back to the downed Del.

"Now where were we."

Hmm. The Shepherd seems to have disappeared, Xavier. Must have slipped off while you were repairing the defense system. He cannot have gone far. He took his katana with him.

-

Rianna stays clear and brings down her target just as Dak arrives. The last Shepherd tries to make a fight of things, but Rianna finishes him quickly.

Below, the Magnesians are trying to pull down the walker and are hammering at the heavy blast door covering the entrance.

Dak... you sense the Shaman approaching.

We should have cut his legs off

"Yes we should have," Xavier says kneeling down.

He will reach out and use his senses to try and locate Del.

"What are you doing up here?" Rianna asks Dak as soon as the last Shepherd is dead.

"Incredibly, I'm up here because -" Dak stops and looks around. "That guy's here..."

He looks around for the Shaman, sabers at the ready.
