STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The White Tower of Halloy

What is it I am standing on? I will run out of the fog, straight past the other Knight.

You are in melee range of the Knight beside you. If you flee from him, he gets a free undefended shot at you.

You are currently standing on the walkway that makes up the altar room.

Can I attack him as I roll past?

You would need Charge for something like that.

I'll run past him.

Just to confirm- you're risking the attack, yes?

And are you moving away from Lothar or toward him?

toward. wish i had charge

1-6 puts initiative with your enemy!

The threat from below turns out to the Crutch shooting up through the walkway at you! His rifle is powerful enough to punch through and skim you for 5 damage.

The Knight further away misses his shot on you and experiences a quick death as his bolt is reflected back into his face. The remaining Knight opens fire at point-blank and your arms shudder as you deflect the shot... but you slip in and drive your lightsaber through his armor and take him down with a Riposte. The sum of his dice was 20.

That leaves you free to advance on Lothar! Except Lothar raises a hand and initiatives a Fling against you, sending you spinning through the air and landing roughly in the tunnel you came in from.

"I commend your efforts, Denzral, but it is entirely pointless," Lothar says, lowering his hand slowly. "You cannot stop what I have started, and you will not resist the call of the Dark Side."

How far down is Crutch, can Denzral drop from the edge and attack him?

It would be a turn to drop down and fight Crutch, but the odds are against you.

Lothar draws the hilt of his lightsaber from beneath his robes and snaps the blade out. It emits a blood orange glow.

Okay, now I could really use some advice.

Denzral is a decent swordsman, and normally duelling is well within your capabilities. But with a talented marksman firing on you at the same time, that would be a stretch of your abilities.

I will drop down and take out Crutch first, hopefully Lothar is a couple of turns away? If that is not the case, then... I dunno... I will move to a position where I am completely open to Crutch's attacks, and tap reflection, although that would be more effective at close range.

"Come now, did you really believe I'd come quietly. You should have threw me in a cell when I had been stunned to unconsciousness and subverted me that way."

If you choose to stay and fight, it will be a duel.

I will drop down in that case.

That is included in staying- Lothar will not permit you to drop down.

Very well. Is there any place that would provide cover from Crutch.

Fleeing the altar room would be your best option.

I'll retreat.

Alright! Now, you can sense more Knights about, but you will be out of Crutch's line of fire. Lothar will be pursuing. How do you want to do this?
