STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

Swap in Forward Guard and tap it. Dak will make a leap onto the Shardik himself, saber blades first, using his momentum and weight to drive them through the Mother's armor.

6-2, you you you.

Xavier is still recovering this turn and so does not get his attack.

Dak now joins Rianna on the back of the Shardik. The damage from the Spines is Unstoppable and does not reduce, so he takes 3 damage. He deals back 17 damage, while Rianna continues cutting for 13 damage.

Galder decides its not a jump he can make comfortably. Instead he leaps down and cuts at one of its legs. With a Defense of 5 down there, Galder doesn't do as much damage as the others. Still, 9 damage is nothing to balk at.

The Lieutenant does 6 damage. The Captain is preparing another bola.

Rianna and Dak then sense great danger as the Shardik begins to pitch over. At first they think their efforts have killed the beast... but then they realize that it is trying to get them off! It is rolling over. They make Leaping rolls to get off before they are crushed!

The Shardik rolls four successes that they must match. Rianna makes it... Dak does not, falling just one short. It lands on him, delivering 12 damage and Pinning him beneath her.

"Hmm," Rand mutters, from his spot on the side of the clearing.

"What is it?" Useld asks.

Rand does not answer him directly. "K3, increase altitude, scan for lifeforms."

The probe beeps an affirmative and flies higher, beyond the canopy.

Rianna gets up from where she landed, running back at the Shardik and driving her lightsaber into its neck.

Dak will try to cut at her if he can.

Rianna- it would be an Agility roll to jump up there. Harder from the ground.

Dak- being pinned down as you are, you are unable to act until someone does something to free you. And it looks like the demon bear is going to try eating you...

Maybe Rianna will be nice and try and free Dak instead.

Maybe.

How do you intend to do so?

I'm not entirely sure! Stab the demonbear in the mouth?

So Rianna intends to jump inside the Shardik's mouth to save poor Dak?

...no. Not really. She's reckless, not stupid 😛

Simply yanking Dak out from under the shardik isn't really something Rianna's terribly capable of doing. Xavier should do that.

What about stabbing it in the eye?

That would put Xavier in a contest of Strength with the Shardik.

Any attacks on its face essentially means taking Dak's place when it tries to devour him.

What about backing the **** away and using Saber Throw?

Not a bad idea...

Physically removing the paw itself from off of Dak is not without merit either.

Well, I had assumed that since the thing rolled over, that it was actually like...lying on it's side on him 😛

Rianna will attack the leg that's being used to pin down Dak, then.

It is keeping him in place while it tries to eat him.

Stabbing the paw will not work.

...anyone have any explosives?

...please don't explode me.

"Someone cuts its damn arm off!"

Xavier could probably push the bear's paw off of Dak with Strength, or using Lifting...

I know better than anyone the dangers of explosives. Who was it that launched a rocket at Janthis and almost killed him 😛

Anyways perhaps Xavier and Galder could both attempt to remove the paw which seems like it could work better.

Either way Xavier will try to do.

Finally getting to his feet ad stadying himself Xavier launches himself forward and shoulder barges into the creature's paw attempting to lift it off of Dak.

The blow from the Shardik still has Xavier disoriented and not thinking clearly though so he yells, "Don't worry ol pal ol buddy of mine. We're on our way to save the day" as he attempts to do this. 😛

Well, Rianna is going to attempt to slice the paw off 😛
