STAR WARS: Retrospection- Like Father Like Son

Galder tries to cleave off something more vital this time when the opportunity opens up.

Evens is Galder, who gets 8 damage. Only another glancing blow as your lightsaber skitters along its armor! The probe comes out better this turn, scoring 9 damage of its own in a flurry of lasers.

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 4

Galder (LS9): 1(2A)/19 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/16 [10B CG] [/B][/QUOTE]

Galder snarls as he struggles to deflect the incoming bolts, then lunges for the probe again, trying to cut it in half and finish it off quickly.

Initiative to the probe! It withdraws from Galder, which warrants a direct blow in retaliation for its retreat, scoring Galder 10 damage on the contraption (though not cutting it in half).

However, it is now high up in the air and rattling off shots. Galder takes 5 damage total.

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 5

Galder (LS9): 1(2A)/24 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/26 [10B CG]

I don't suppose Galder can get at it, or jump on it?

Nope!

Damn. Galder will run for cover somewhere up the mountain, drawing his pistol and sending off shots at the probe that pursues him.

Gunslinger allows you to snap out your gun quickly, but not before receiving a volley of blasts from the probe again for another 5 damage. You tumble into cover and shoot back, rolling four successes for 5 damage! Not bad.

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 6

Galder (G7): 1(2A)/24 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F) (in cover)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/31 [10B CG]

Galder keeps firing from cover!

Evens is the probe this time! It rolls poorly for only 6 damage to Galder. Your icy cover is starting to crumble from the heat of the repeated hits though.

Two successes (with a Gunslinger conversion) means 3 damage back. Not quite the trade you wanted.

----

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 7

Galder (G7): 1/30 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F) (in cover)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/34 [10B CG]

Galder will stay with his block of ice until it is shattered, maintaining a steady rate of fire back at the probe. He wonders where it came from but is more interested in destroying it.

Your cover comes down this turn as the probe blasts through the bottom of it trying to get you, dropping lower to get a better shot.

Galder takes 7 damage and dishes out 2!

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 7

Galder (G7): 1/37 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F) (in cover)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/36 [10B CG] [/B][/QUOTE]

Has it gotten close enough to attack with a lightsaber?

Yes.

Make it so! Galder will jump out and attack with his lightsaber, keeping his blaster in his off-hand and striking with a slash across the probe's midsection.

You jump out and attack it! One success is still 7 damage to the probe as your blade drags across part of it, leaving a molten scar. Galder takes 6 in return as he frantically deflects its lasers and scrambles out of the way.

The probe ascends again. It's high mobility allows it slip in and out of melee-range easily.

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 8

Galder (LS8): 1(2A)/37 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/43 [10B CG]

Galder will retreat up the mountain, using Coordination and Balanced Guard to protect himself from the shots. He needs to find a way to keep the probe down.

An idea of what Galder is looking for would be great.

Galder flees up the mountainside. He only takes 2 damage between his Guard and Coordination.

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 9

Galder (LS8): 1(2A)/39 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/43 [10B CG] [/B][/QUOTE]

How about an outcropping or cave that Galder can duck under/into?

He is going to switch to his blaster and tumble into some cover, shooting at the probe again and trying to pick it off.

As it so happens, there is a cave not far from where you are! You couldn't see it from lower down.

A particular vicious volley from the probe grazes your leg, tearing through the thermal wear and exposing it to the cold. You snap a blast back at it to little effect.

PROBE ATTACK, Start of Turn 10

Galder (LS8): 1(2A)/48 [BGu GS DW] [CL] (5F)

Probe (G10): 3C(2A)/46 [10B CG]
