USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (LIGHT SIDE)- Harmony

Started by Ushgarak328 pages

You can have other schticks in but only one 'type' of schtick functions at a time, so if you use your sabre, only the sabre schticks will work; if you punch someone, only Combat schticks.

Some people work well by, say, having Combat Schticks in for emergency defence (if you don't attack at all in the turn, you can just choose which type you are using) or some have one or two Gun schticks in, tap them all first turn for quick kills with their guns and are already ready to switch to sabre the next turn as they swap the gun schticks out for their other sabre ones.

The main limiter is that it takes a action to draw a weapon (though not a lightsabre) so if you are going to mix in combat schticks you generally use unarmed ones, as you can switch to them without penalty. If you have Gunslinger, you can switch between a sabre and a pistol with no penalty also, which is a neat trick (like Luke at the end of ESB, with a sabre in one hand and a pistol in the other), allowing you to choose openly each turn whether to shoot or slash.

It's only one swap a turn, I am afraid, though as you've gone a few without swapping I can backdate that as it were. Bear in mind you don't have to swap in when you swap out, so you can just leave in blanks (many templates don't have the schtick variety you do).

You grab a droid's blaster and start off with that to clear some enemies. Tap those out (Carnival of Carnages gives you four attacks on mooks, Eye of the Storm saves you a hit), then go to Combat schticks for a kill or two (tapping Dodge & Weave protects you from any type of attack). Then maybe by that time your Blade Schticks will have come back by Refresh.

Xeth presses on!

Thanks for the advice! Still getting used to the online combat!

It's a process!

Initiative is theirs, which means they get five more droids out at C. However, it is a Refresh round.

Our intrepid trio makes it to the vault area! You run almost immediately into another five droids that were dispatching after you. Others that were scattering out have instead returned to deal with the threat, so if you deal with the situation here that's all of them taken care of. Five are up on a walkway above you and have a good range of fire; another five are coming up from below and do not.

Gallagher- you sense danger.

Can I sense which vault I should search? Do the bugs see something out of the ordinary?

The bugs will report if they see anything, and sensing for what?

Gallagher will ignite his lightsaber and poise himself defensively, using Coordination for any incoming attacks, Lifting if it happens to be Katai's guided projectiles.

Wrong, I am afraid, Gallagher... the vault door is closing!

(You've been lured again!)

Tilulla- stay with Iffa and Bodyguard him this turn. Make sure you swap in Focused Guard.

Iffa- get Cleave back in and start taking down a group either above or below the vault area. That way you're afforded protection from the rest of the groups.

Vera-Kin is going to swap Balanced Guard for Orthodox Guard, then tap it and Reflection as she takes on the droids at the vault area.

Ahhh!

Does Gallagher have enough time to get out? Or can he stop it from closing with Lifting? Or both?

Swap Cleave for Martial Arts, take out group below vault

What Vera said, BG on Iffa, swap in Focused Guard.

Choose!

I don't if D'an can make it, so Gallagher will resist the closing door with the Force, raising his hands quickly in response and pushing back.

Initiative is yours!

Vera leads a direct assault! Blimey. She cuts down two, for sure.

Iffa and Tilulla leap down to attack those below, taking down three in a flash.

Their turn! Unfortunately, those firing down have, as I mentioned, a good field of fire so going down affords less protection than going up. Only the droids two levels above Tilulla and Iffa have a bad shot on them, so I'll rule they fire on Vera this turn (which, frankly, suits her as she tapped). One group from the vault area fire down as Tilulla and Iffa, as do the two left in front of them. Not much benefit to Iffa form the Bodyguarding, I am afraid, but he'll get the one armour from Tilulla's Block.

Thirteen attacks on Vera this turn. One actually hits... and only two bounce-kills I am afraid!

Seven attacks split between Tilulla and Iffa; random factors says the extra attack goes on Iffa. They roll well on Iffa; irritatingly, they rolled much worse on Tilulla but he can't get Reflect kills. Iffa is not actually hit, though, because of his protection from Cleave!

-

Gallagher- you start straining to hold the door open, which you can just about do. D'an, seeing your plan, runs to the vault entrance! Whereupon he is immediately shot at at point blank range. Katai rolls five successes against him for nine damage, reduced to seven.

Ok Jovan, you just sensed that gunfire!

-

Xeth- you sense things are up as well. But you are still in no position to intervene. In fact, you won't make it there in time.

"NO!" Gallagher shouts when he sees his Padawan ambushed. The moment it happens, Gallagher tries to run for the vault entrance, using Dash to speed his movements. If he gets close enough, he tries to land a blow on his student's attacker.

Iffa- this turn you should bring Reflection in and try to get some bounce back kills while you two finish off the lower level.

Outmatched and alone, Vera-Kin decides to jump upward and attack the droids on the walkway above, cleaving through two of them.

Is that an Ush hint that Xeth is not going to be able to help fight Katai?

So I sense the firing in hotspot C?

Do I have an indication by sense or sound if it is far away?
If it's closeby, the bugs have to retreat and buzz around for help.

If it's far, I'll go to the place but will ask the bugs to hang back with one of them following on a safe distance. That way he can buzz the others for info or the other way around if Katai shows up at the place.
