Craft:
What makes you different from a sith? That you don't kill them with force lightning or choking?
It doesn't matter how rediculous you think the question is, if you do not let them see that they have a choice (kill or be killed), they will continue to attack you.
And about that last part (throwing sabre away and such), that was me trying to insert a bit of humor in it... which apperently failed.
Vera: Of course, but since Jedi stand for life, at least some part of you should be feeling uncomfortable.
Anyway: Bombard it is! I imagine that I have to point at them while standing up and such and that therefore I lose some cover. Ah well, at least the gun placement will take a hit.
There is a huge difference between not asking someone to surrender and being a Sith. You're making me out to be some murdering psychopath just because I disagree with you.
They will continue to attack anyway! We both know asking them to surrender wont work, so why do it? To ease any guilt you have over killing them? Being a Jedi is a messy thing, sometimes you have to kill people. It seems to me you just want an excuse for your actions. "Well I asked them to surrender, it's their fault for not doing it! I did nothing wrong!" It's not that simple. Just because we don't ask them doesn't mean they don't know they have a choice.
@ Ush:
Well yeah, once Wentar finds out they are being manipulated his opinion will change. But right now he sees a threat trying to kill us for no apparent reason and right now there is nothing he can do other then just try to stay alive.
Ok, I think we are all planned and done.
6-4 says initiative is still yours!
Which means at this point, Denz bursts out onto the rooftop walkway! He looks in a bad way... Still, between Andro and Roan the area is soon clear! One down...
Jelena and Essalin finally manage their breakout, attacking the far side. They start to come under fire from those other guards outside of course.
Xeth disengages with a back-flip kill and acrobats back to the ship. Show off. Vera is holding in there though, which could leave her rather exposed! Jovan, meanwhile, actually picks up a severed hunk of metal from Xeth's ship, and hurls it across the firing ground to destroy the gun and incapacitate its crew. Return fire is ineffective against Xeth and Jovan. It's better against Vera as there are so many- armour can only reduce damage to 1. She loses her Cleave protection as well She does get two Reflection kills, though.
More and more men are coming. It seems further squads have been zoned onto you guys as the net closes.
Wentar and Vlad manage their run back to their ship... as the assault walker turns up at the factory grounds. This silvery walker with four high curved legs skitters at high speed; the cockpit up top contains a torpedo launcher and some rapid fire heavy blasters.

Swap out Balanced Guard.
The Master is tiring in the seemingly endless fight. As the yeomen begin to surround her, she performs a defensive flip up into the air, batting away lasers before landing behind the ship for cover.
(1 Force point for Defensive Leap to the ship, Coordination with that, use Block for Defense +1)
It is uncomfortable that we are taking so many lives, Jovan, but Xeth is even less comfortable with the idea of being killed by waves of soldiers that are clearly against them. Whoever is leading them is not our friend and if we want to get to the bottom of it, we're going to need to fend them off and fight for our lives. Makes sense to Xeth.
Xeth lands by the ship as he witnesses Jovan peel part of the armor plating off and use it as a projectile weapon. He shakes his head at the state of his ship but appreciates that it is still helping them out, in a way.
"Jovan, with me," Xeth says, indicating the north end. He goes running out to engage the yeomen there and cuts one down.
(Jovan, you should make your attack and then tap Cleave so that you get protective points to help you stay standing longer).
