STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Slayer

Make it happen. Galder's pool is 4. Better than nothing.

You manage to spot a quickly retreating figure on a balcony opposite Kuylen's apartment.

Could Galder make it with a single jump?

If not, Galder's going to ask if Kuylen has a speeder he can use.

No. It is across one of Nar Shaddaa's chasm and inside a construction site that the figure fired from.

"The speeder in the garage downstairs," Kuylen says with surprising calm. He has taken cover behind a chair.

Galder is not going to waste any time. Can he retract the needle with Push/Pull once he is out of Kuylen's sight, and on the move downstairs?

Yes. You pull it out, catch it, and burn your fingers.

Galder gets downstairs to the speeder. It is an sleek, expensive job with a chromium finish. Kuylen must have lots of money to throw away.

Galder tosses it away when he burns his fingers and curses loudly. Does he recognize what kind of weapon that is? And how much damage did he take?

Galder is going to hop into the speeder and get it started before flying it out of the garage and over to the building that the sniper shot from.

Galder is off! It only takes him a moment to get to the other side of the chasm. The sniper is nowhere in sight.

Galder will park his acquired speeder alongside the building and look for the sniper that needled him.

How much damage did I take from that...?

You took 10 damage from being shot, and 1 from burning your hand on the needle. That burning sensation is starting to spread from the point of impact as you get out of the speeder and hop onto the open balcony of the construction site where you think you saw the shooter.

You do not see anything out of place. There is construction equipment about, crates, and a few rows of walls have been erected on an otherwise open floorplan.

Hmm. Galder is going to get his pistol out. Gunslinger, Dodge & Weave, and Power Attack in.

You are armed. Still no sign of your attacker.

Galder will try to Sense his opponent.

"If you are going to shoot at me, you'd better be prepared to finish the job," Galder snarls as he walks about the floor, sensing about for the shooter.

You are homing in on him, further into this floor of the partially-built complex. Not very precisely, mind you, but enough to get close enough to spook him. The Rodian with the high-pressure dart caster has reloaded and peers around cover to draw bead on you.

Galder's going to throw a shot at him and get behind cover.

First off, Galder cringes as he makes his move for cover; he takes 5 damage as the slow-acting poison starts to burn his veins. However, he gets his shot off first. Five successes is Parried to three and the Rodian takes 6 damage.

The Rodian sends another needle whistling back in your direction and it stings deeply into your arm for 11 damage. The needle has a plasma casing that punches through your cover and stings deeply into your arm. These things hurt!

Balls.

Galder is not going to waste any time. He twirls his pistol into its holster then draws his knife while using the Force to evade the Rodian's needles with Coordination.

Galder breaks cover only to find that the Rodian doesn't fire back. He is too busy running the opposite direction and reloading his dart rifle.

Rodian (G9): 1(1PR)/6 [EE ES]

Galder (C9): 1/27 [GS PW DW] (5F)

Galder plows ahead, not wanting to let this Rodian get away from him.

If Galder gets in close enough to tangle with the Rodian, he will attack with his knife.

If he doesn't, Coordination to stay safe and move in.

Galder gets initiative and gets his chance to swipe at the Rodian with his knife. On eight dice he rolls three 6s and two 5s... too bad you didn't have Focused Blow in there. Your assailant is better in a shootout than in close quarters and you slash him for 9 damage.

At pointblank he tries launching another dart. Only two successes is enough for 6 damage to you, and you take an additional 5 damage from poisoning.
