SITHMAS 2011 - DARK SIDE - Presents from Starguard

Going to move on shortly.

Xavier, you think you might be able to get to the top of that middle stack. It'll just start getting difficult if things are exploding below you.

Xavier will go for the MIddle Rack then. Also could Xavier use push pull to move one of the pile of crates enough to cause it to fall over unto the droids?

It would be Lifting for such a feat, and would take a couple turns. But it would not be as effective as, say, Bombard.

I'm pressing on! Gallador I will have to count out unless he takes renewed interest in this mini-game. Rianna and Dak I will hold turns for.

Initiative is Evens, meaning things finally return to you. Good thing, too.

Relle goes Trinity on her destroyer. Sadly, she rolls absolutely no successes, meaning she fluffs her attack due to the destroyer's shield resistance and her foot just bangs itself on its metal armor.

Rand fairs better. Six successes is enough to finish off the first destroyer he damaged. He cuts it in two with a bright flash when the shield gives out.

Azarl shows eight successes on his attack, inflicting 11 damage on his destroyer. Not enough to take it down completely but a good hit.

Xavier daringly jumps back onto the main stack of crates! Nothing dangerous happens yet as he jumped before the droidekas fired again. He starts to climb.

And now they do! Gallador's redistribute into the main group firing on the tower of fuel tanks. There are now a series of explosions near its base. The stack starts to shake, and Xavier isn't sure how long it will stay standing.

Relle takes a hit for 7 damage, and so does Rand.

Azarl is missed.

Two points to Rand for damaging and destroying his target.

Two points to Azarl for damaging his target and rolling the highest.

Xavier gets a point for getting higher on the stack.

Rand will try to eliminate the next droideka with a jab into its motion control machinery.

That was pathetic...

Relle will try that again and hopefully do some damage this time.

Azarl slams his lightsaber down on the destroyer to finish it off. He is then going to look for a way out of here.

Could Xavier use Leaping to try and make a jump to a much secure area that will still allow him to climb up?

If so he will do that.

At this point it is a race to get up before your way up is exploded.

Then Xavier will use Leap to get up as fast as possible 😄

I'll give Lana and Josh an opportunity to post. Otherwise I may have to drop them as well.

Rianna's continuing upwards!

Rianna does some catching up. She spends on Great Leap to jump back onto the main stack where Xavier is climbing but also jump higher (instead of just straight across) onto it. She then takes another turn to climb up to where Xavier is presently, then passes him with another hop.

She gets four points for the endeavor.

Xavier, of course, catches up to her shortly after for another point of his own.

This time Relle plants a firm kick to knock the destroyer off-balance, for 7 damage. She earns a point for damaging it and a point for doing it unarmed.

Rand hits for 8 damage, gaining a point for damaging his target.

Azarl rolls best and destroys his droideka in one last swipe, crashing through the shield and then the main computer of the droid. It collapses in pieces. He gets a point for best roll, another for destroying his target.

Rand then takes a hit for 8 damage, and Relle takes a hit for 6.

At this point, the stack of crates that the destroyers are unloading into begins to pitch to one side as the support from the lower crates gives out. Heated and flaming starship fuel is starting to spew about the area and crates are falling off the stack and down toward those below.

For Xavier and Rianna, climbing is getting difficult as your world starts to tilt.

All efforts to climb the stack will now require 3 successes on a Leaping roll, and those on the ground will need to make Agility rolls to avoid falling crates.

Can I retroactively tap Flying Attack and Street Fighting to land a killing blow on the destroyer?

Rand will finish his off so that he can start getting clear of the stack!

I think Rianna and Xavier should be at the top already.

Azarl will get clear of the falling crates and use Lifting to increase his chances of avoiding them.

Yeah, how close to the top am I? I can't imagine that Rianna's not yet reached the top, because that's quite a lot of jumping/climbing she's been doing...

And we do only have ten turns until we all explode.

Relle- I'll allow it.

And yes, my mistake- Rianna and Xavier have actually reached the top of the stack and are about to jump up to the observation post when the crates start to tilt. The difficulty still applies, and you need to spot a way in!

Xavier makes an observation role to make the spot and then will use leap to make the jump 😛
