Good call! A bonus to your Agility rolls, which are successful- you take no damage as the doors blow inwards. Only two at a time can come through... but they are not quite that suicidal. They are standing just outside the doorway and firing at you. You can hide behind the doorway wall, but they all have clear shots at Roan and you cannot hurt them when doing that.
More men are outside; I am just posting the ones that you can see.

I need to go through the motions, Roan- so which are you releasing first?
I should already have ES in for DW as of last round. Now going to bring in Close Quarters Gunmen for that +3 dice boost if the yeomen get close enough, swapping out Balanced Guard.
Xeth is going to leave Sunda to handle the yeomen that have already made it through the east entrance. He himself takes cover just inside the doorway and starts taking potshots at the yeomen beyond.
3-1 gives initiative to you!
Xeth- no-one is through the door and they aren't going to get that close to you; there's no question of the doorway providing cover form people only at the other side of the doorway but the ones further back will find it harder- as indeed, both you and Andro soon discover that the corridors outside are pretty full! ANdro cuts down the two by the doorway but is then under very heavy fire; Xeth blasts down two also but then likewise has a hail of fire coming at him.
Sunda looks edgy...

Roan, the first cryo block is out! That's released and Kerim starts the revival sequence. Next!
(Haha, you mean like charging into a corridor filled with Yeomen?
[FGu PS CL] Swap in Forward Guard and tap Cleave.
Well, I at least think I have a plan, using these taps to keep me at least a little safe. Wihs i had bodyguard, though. Would be really handy right now.)
Andro doesn't blink in the face of the odds he just stepped into, he just goes to work. Whatever personal changes he's tried to make since Mandragos, this, more than anything else, is still what Andro excells at.
Hopefully Argo sees that this isn't grand-standing, or wreckless enthusiasm for violence. His master is protecting not just his padawan, not just Roan, but all the ladies as well. Hopefully, I get to explain that to him myself.
(P.S. - I'm leaving for the Cleveland Clinic tomorrow afternoon, for surgery on Thursday. Wish me luck, and see you all in a few weeks.)
