USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (DARK SIDE)- The Prisoner of Datura

I think that pikeman is the assasing which is Relle's ally.

No, Pikeman D is the one attacking me. The one that seems to be on our side is disguised as a regular guard. I know who I'm attacking 😛

Sorry, I got confused.

Okay, will someone advance with Gallador to upper gallery north? We need to get our sabres! Also Ush, how close I need to be to call my sabre with the force? I thought that those by the cases could simply throw them to us!

The closer you get, the better- it's a VERY hard force roll to do it anything other than being in the same location. Rand already tried.

Those by the cases could try throwing them, if they could take the time to retrieve them and then the action to throw; then you could try and pluck it out of the air with the Force.

Okay, I am thinking about running towards the upper gallery north and then down to the lower gallery and floor to get to sabres, how lethal it could be since there are guards in upper gallery north, will they all be able to fire at Gallador as he runs past them?

Upper North is still very crowded- slow going there. The crowd may shield you somewhat from the firers; comes down to the dice.

I quess I will try.

Do I still have some uses of the lucky merit?

You can have one use of it.

Your odds are pretty low, though, Gallador. Rand has a higher rating and Precision going for him and he couldn't do it from where you are.

Kind of a neat idea, but we're a bit busy over here, you now, killing things before they kill us to re-arm everyone else 😛 Maybe something to try once we've cleared our area a bit if no one else has made it over here by then.

(meaning, if you guys want our help recovering your lightsabers more than we've done already? Gonna have to wait a bit.)

Indeed- though he did get it two locations closer, so it wasn't a washout.

I was thinking about running past the guards at this point, not calling the sabre.

Maybe he could try hiding in the crowd, since Gallador isn't doing anything like we are in terms of fighting.

Xavier will go with Gallador, he wants his lightsaber as soon as possible. We won't last long without them anyways if our time on Datura is any indication.

6-1 keeps initiative very much yours.

Rianna- not actually tapping PS, in retrospect, fightrs against Pike D, with even a poor roll getting her six successes with two conversions of a 1. A highly mobile Dak goes for Pike U, scoring a natural seven successes.

Relle goes crazy-nuts on her target, unloading her guns in a blitz of firepower SDadly her rolling ius not the equal of her ambition.. She rolls three successes on her first attack, which are doubled to six for a total of ten damage, and then two on her second attack for a total of six, sixteen damage in all.

A host of Epireans and you guys meleeing down south wipe out those guards!

Con fires at two of the approaching Pikemen; I am still using base blaster stats for him, not quite knowing what his weapon is. He scores one ok hit, and one less ok one.

Gallador and Xavier both moves to Upper North last turn, but are both stuck in transit moving down this turn; it will take another action to get down.

Rand starts threatening people to go East, which is quite potent in combination with his Grip!

Fake-guard has just dived behind one of the display cases. "Uh-oh," he says, as he sees Dak has run forwards. The voice is Graf's.

The 'uh-oh' is because he left a sonic charge (Device schtick) behind him which just detonates, Stunning all in the general area. That's all the guard mooks- who miss their attack- and Pikeman U, who loses half his pool for his attack... but also Dak, who has to go half pool for his next attack also. The dramatic WHUMF! of the explosion also shatters most of the cases.

J7 and Rura are both dealing with the guards firing at you from down below; they find their marks.

Their turn.

Up north, fifteen guards fire at Gallador and Xavier. People get in the way but it is still four attacks on each, and some thinning of the crowd. Gallador takes fair punishment there, and the guards will keep firing. At least Xavier came with you, else that might have virtually taken you out.

Five more arrive down south, blazing away and dropping two more Epireans. Five also arrive at lower north and south, but were too slow getting through the crowd to do much else this turn. Still, they are in position now!

A small army is advancing up south, and twenty guards are volleying a hail of fire at you people. Rand has sent away some of your cover and more die; everyone present takes an attack, leaving your Epireans in a bad way.

Some more people are ascending to Upper West and will be there next turn. You guys take less fire than before due to Xavier and Gallador drawing so much of it to the north.

I am still after the nature of Con and Rah's guns. Also, be careful about being vague about your targets as if I cannot discern a target for you, your attack may be cancelled.

Floors North, West and East are now clear of people as they head up to the exits.

Gallador is in trouble there, folks- attracted a lot of attention whilst defenceless.

(I'm fairly sure that Graf is actually a woman! 😛)

"I recognize that voice..." Rianna comments when Graf speaks (and dives and hides).

She'll continue hacking at D and hopefully kill him dead this turn.

The rules say Balance can be activated at the cost of my attack for this turn, so I want to use that and Swiftness to justify dodging everything while grabbing Kuylen's saber from the shattered case and pocketing it because it's massively cinematic and cool.

You could rather grab one of our sabres! But I quess Galder would not mind using it.

Ush, can I use Fortune to decrease some of my damage? I understand that force power sidestep would also be helpful here?

Fortune would allow you to do that, but Lucky does not.

How dense is the crowd area we are in?

Number by the location, out of 10.
