STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Slayer

If Galder gets initiative, he goes unphased by the numbers around him, comfortably pumping shots into the bunch of barehanded bouncers crowding him. Tap CC and GS.

If Galder loses initiative, he takes a moment to go on the defensive, ducking beneath knife swipes and mace swings and throwing himself into the barehanded blows. He smacks one of the unarmed thugs with the butt of his pistol. Switch to Combat and tap DW.

Galder gets initiative, and so sticks with his gun. The first thug he shoots for three successes, catching him in the chest as well and sending him crumpling to the ground. The next he gets five successes, and a laser rips open the thug's face in a wide, jawless grin. And then three successes on the last, putting a bolt through the last thug's stomach.

That leaves, then, the boss and the brawlers. One brawler misses completely, but the other jabs you with his knife for 5 damage. The boss with his mace takes a serious swing at you this time, and the mace thuds into your shoulder with a jolt for 7 damage.

Swap CC out for IM, and tap it.

Galder shoots a glare back at the boss bouncer, but he's not quite ready to deal with that man yet. Instead, he holsters his blaster and whips out his knife, stabbing out of the knife fighters with it, dead in the sternum.

Galder beats their initiative by one this time. Handy with his knife, he runs that bouncer through with his knife on four successes!

In kind, the remaining bouncer tries to stab you back. He rolls two successes, but tapping Impervious drops that damage down to 1. He scratches you with the knife but you ignore it. The boss hits you in the leg with his mace and you stumble, but it only deals 4 damage.

Fouled up my schticks there, buddy. Swapping in PA for GS this turn, tapping DW.

Galder withdraws the knife from the stabbed bouncer with a pop and in one fluid motion, brings it across the throat of the next bouncer, slitting it neatly before turning on the big man with the mace.

Galder gets initiative yet again, but when he goes to slash the bouncer, he is displeased to find that the bouncer steps just out of reach when he rolls no successes. But with his Defense and Armor both raised to 5 by his D&W tap, this round becomes inconsequential- both bouncers miss.

Hmm... swap in Duck for D&W.

Galder, not at all happy with that, decides to go defensive for a round as he assesses the situation. Calling upon the Force to intuitively sidestep blows and keep his head in the fight, he activates Balance and foregoes his attack.

Galder gives up an action to consider how to best proceed with the fight, but the bouncers don't. But Galder's use of Balance makes him difficult to hit; neither opponent shows a 6 against him as he impossibly times his ducks and dodges. Another inconclusive round.

Alright, swap GS out for Focused Blow.

Galder has another go at the lesser bouncer, going for a whirling cut to open his chest with a diagonal slash.

They get initiative this time... but they manage to foul up their rolls without you making any extra effort, the big boss bouncer aiming his blow too high and the other bouncer cowering away from you as you try to stab him. You only roll a success in turn, though. He isn't down yet.

It's a refresh turn! Select two schticks to refresh.

Let's go with Impervious and D&W.

"Die already!" Galder says, this time trying to grab the brawler and stab him repeatedly in the ribs.

Galder loses initiative and promptly gets smashed across the face with the electro-mace for 7 damage. He gets his man, though.

"Just you n' me, boy!" the mace-wielder growls.

Swap in D&W for DU, and tap it.

"Well aren't you lucky," Galder says, taking a firm grip on the knife. He circles his opponent briefly before going in with a series strong-arm knife strikes, intending to not only stab but drive the bouncer back.

Galder braces himself as he goes for the bouncer, upping his Armor and Defense with his D&W tap. The bouncer's attack goes nowhere, and Galder launches his own. One swipe in and Galder hits for 8 damage, Stunning his opponent as the knife carves a line of blood across his arm.

Don't forget to add my damage on there. Swap in DU for DW. Tap PA.

Galder is encouraged by his opening slash and goes for in for something a little harder hitting, trying to drive his knife into the bouncer's leg.

The bouncer gets initiative, but it does him little good. His assault is more of a stumble as he tries to get his bearings after that one good slice you gave him. A 3 on his single die is not going to trouble you.

Galder lashes in again with his knife! Having tapped Power Attack, he gets his dice raised by two more to a total of eleven and stabs at the bouncer. Four successes for another 8 damage! Additionally, the tap delivers Knockback and you rolled two 6s for a Stun! Your knife finds purchase in his ribs and he yells angrily as he falls back.

Boss Bouncer isn't acting this turn!

Galder will capitalize upon his opponent's weakness by leaving the knife embedded in the Boss Bouncer and resorting to his fists, swapping PA out for SF. He begins beating upon the bouncer relentlessly, pounding his fists downward into the bouncer's face.

It does not take much more than that. Disoriented by the pain of his stab wound and the vicious assault that Galder follows it up with, the bouncer reaches the end of his days. By the time you let up, he is already dead and his face unrecognizeable.

Everyone in the nightclub is watching you now; covered in the blood of Tuso's men and barely having broken a sweat, you are quite a spectacle.

Gan Tuso laughs nervously from his booth.

"You wanted to talk? Please, sit, sit! In fact, have my seat! Whatever you want, you can have!"

He tries to get up. You have never been strong with the Force, Galder, but fear radiates off of Gan Tuso.

Galder pulls the knife from the bouncer's ribs and waves it at Tuso.

"Sit back down or this goes in your eye," Galder threatens. "You should've let me talk earlier. Now I'm pissed."

In the other hand, Galder picks up the electro-mace. He considers the two, then puts away the knife and keeps the mace in-hand before sliding into the booth, next to Tuso.

"I want to discuss my payments for the job I did," Galder says. "I haven't gotten them."

The electro-mace is a strong weapon- it is safe against lightsabers and has a * rating. And very intimidating.

"Yes, yes, I realize," Tuso says, dropping his lofty mafioso act. "Let me explain! I have an excuse!"
