STAR WARS: RETROSPECTON- Song of Remembrance

Ok, so I'll swap out 10k bolts but keep firing at the osokans face to try and blind it

You inflict 4 damage with your shooting, as does Tarinda. Having his eyes more or less blasted out- though they heal quickly- causes him to miss as he rolls poorly.

Takuan takes no chances with the Captain. As it raises its whip to strike him again, Takuan extends a palm and sends it flying into the troop vehicle that the police brought. It crumples around the Osokan, trapping it momentarily.

Alek moves from to side to keep out of the way of the whip and keeps firing at the osokans head to keep it distracted. When possible he'll swap 10kb back in.

10,000 Bolts has not refreshed.

yeah I know, just letting you know it is to be swapped back when it does get refreshed

Your current problem is that, without 10,000 Bolts, shooting the Osokan is slow going. My hint (and system-teaching, somewhat) is that you may want to consider going to fisticuffs with this thing for a moment. Street Fighter allows you to deal out higher damage and punch through its armor, after all.

I had considered that, and I suppose going in that close takes away some of his advantage with the whip as Alek will be too close for him to use effectively.

Going with that then Alek, swaps in SF and taps it. With a smooth motion he holsters his blaster, dodges past the whip and slams a vicious punch to the osokans jaw followed by a knee to abdomen.

Regardless, the Osokan is going to hit you with the whip. Being shot or punched does not reduce your dice pool; it is only happening to you because you are feeling the paralyzing effects of the whip!

Initiative is yours!

Rah twirls his blaster away and then punches up the Osokan! It heals some of the hits quickly, but Rah's attack and counterattack do a total of 11 damage! Rah takes 5 damage in return, minimized by Dodge & Weave's Armor. Tarinda then shoots it in the head; it goes down and your way on is clear!

Takuan, greatly slowed by semi-paralysis, staggers forward and tries to pin the Osokan Captain to the speeder with his lightsaber. One success is 7 damage.

The Osokan then backhands him, cutting his eyebrow open with the hilt of his whip.

Things don't look good for Takuan...

Alek jumps over to aid Takuan by body smashing into the remaining osokan and launching a nasty punch to it's whip arm.

Having tapped Street Fighter, you may want to use another schtick! You always want to be making use of what you still have when you've tapped out others.

One of these days I'll get used to this combat system... 😕

Given what I just said Alek would do, I should perhaps swap out GS for Flying Attack and tap this as he attacks the remaining Osokan.

One purpose of these games is to help players adapt and learn. You're doing just fine!

yep 🙂

So yes Alek is definitely going to go with tapped FA then

Alek comes to the rescue! As you close in, Takuan misses the Captain and is knocked down by it. It draws a knife to finish Takuan off....

Pow! Alek delivers a kick that sends it crashing into the side of the transport again. It strikes its head on something and collapses.

The way out is clear!

"Come on Tarinda!" He yells as he grabs Takuan arm and pulls him to his feet. "I think we out stayed our welcome..." he says as he looks at the transport as a way out. "...if I get us in, can you fly this thing?" He asks Takuan.

If it's a viable option then Alek will use fix-it to gain entry and start the machine up.

You are rather displeased to find that Takuan is barely conscious.

"Starport," Takuan mumbles.

Alek pockets one of the osokan whips and then picks up Takuan, puts him over his shoulders. "Lets go Tar!" he looks around and then heads for the starport.

"Suitcase," Takuan murmurs at you as you try to pick him up.

Whip retrieval noted.

"Tarinda, grab that case!" He says pointing to it "Come on lets get out of here before the heat turns up again..." He makes a start towards the starport.

How does Alek want to get there? Going through the streets would be a folly...
