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

Then let's shove someone out of another or intimidate them into getting us into the starport!

I can't even make sense of that one really.

Distractions are all very well and good, and may help, but the important bit is that you are still one 'speeder move' away from the starport. You MUST get the guys there quickly and no amount of messing around will prevent that primary need. They cannot make it on foot.

Barricading is totally impractical both because you cannot hold and because Galder's not even coming that way... and he wouldn't be useful even if he was.

-

The danger is imminent, Relle, as the starport is being sealed off. Xavier's ship is still there as well btw.

So I like Rianna's idea.

Well there is some difficulty there as they are moving at speed.

Could Xavier make an Observation roll to find a speeder he can get in front of and use Intimidate to get them to stop in time without running him over?

Surely there are some that have been slowed by the crash, though?

I mean, I've never been driving on the highway - or anywhere for that matter - where people weren't slowing to gawk at an accident...let alone things being slowed down because it was actually blocking things...

(it got really irritating when I was commuting to school and it happened several times a week.)

How about a truck-style speeder Xavier can leap into with us?

I mean it could be anything someone on the side of the rode, a cop car pulling someone over. Everyone goes into a crawl.

'With you' is where that plan doesn't work; you can't leap.

Yes, traffic will be slower than normal, though the pursuing psycho guards are a reverse inducement to gawking.

A good Intimidation roll may do it.

Can Xavier once again use Rivas' staff for a bonus?

Or would his lightsabers help more?

If they don't give him a bonus he won't worry about taking them out.

Xavier simply looks for a speeder going slow enough, and walks in front of it either putting up a hand or pointing one of his weapons at the person and yelling for them to get out.

No-one would recognise the staff in this case.

Charisma + Intimidation... two successes! You're in! It comes to a halt and you can just about get everyone on jut as your pursuers arrive...

Galder- two successes on your Force roll! Not perfect but you aren;t going backwards.

(You know, I would have accepted Observation rolls to navigate spontaneously...)

However, only one success on your Pilot roll. They are in shooting range! Two successes on your dodge means they have not hit you yet...

"Everyone get in now," Xavier says as the former occupants run away.

Once everyone is in Xavier takes off.

Could he use his lightsaber on the way by to ignite the crashed car as a dramatic effect for slowing them down 😛?

Yes you can! And so consider that an edge to you as you make your final run...

Rianna will waste no time in situating herself in the new speeder...and she's going to duck down again so she can't get hit by guards that are shooting at us 😛

Dak will look at Rianna wearily in the back of the speeder. "This is the worst escape ever."

How realistic is it for Galder to return fire while driving?

"That's a bit of an understatement..." Rianna mutters in response.

Hey what more do you want, running from the cops in tight winding streets, crashing and then using that same crashed car to help in your escape by setting it on fire while driving by it 😛

I would think everyone would have enjoyed that 😛

Sadly not at all- a second man with Guns in your vehicle would have made this a lot easier.

(As would have stealing an armoured speeder with its own guns from the palace garage)

Why didn't we think of that?

And be quiet and drive, Xavier 😛

Cause we are terrible planners at this kind of thing 😛

and Xavier is driving 😛
