USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE VI (LIGHT SIDE)- Missing Links

No worries, your tap is good...

... but a bit useless. With Forward Guard in, you have no defence, and with your attackers rolling five dice you are unlikely to get many rolling under the Reflection threshold.

(Andro will tap Cleave, which in hind-sight would have been useful last round.)
[OGu/RI/CL]
"Roan, you're starting to remind me of me, walking into a mess like this and refusing to pull back, no matter how much it's going to hurt!"

(It just struck me that "in true Psycho Brigade style" is never a compliment...)

"Act first, then act again, then do a bit more acting and insult those who dare to think" is their motto.

In Roan's case, can Jelena apply her Bodyguard tap?

If we get initiative that is.

Of course! Though armour does not help Reflection.

Well I'm tapping Balanced Guard too, so that should give him extra Defense as well.

Yes it will, though it will only put him back to a standard Guard defece, so it'll be down to the luck of the rolling.

(Unlike an Orthodox Guard tap, which is lethal with Reflection)

Hmm well I could switch those, maybe. It depends on what Roan wants to do in response to your commentary.

OK,
well, if we get initiative, I'm going to do the first thing.
Switch in FG, Tap and use Twirl.
If we don't get Initiative, Tap OG and Reflection.

I don't think we can do conditional swaps. You should just tap Orthodox Guard either way. You'll probably still get the Twirl kills with it right?

Plus you have Focused Guard to swap in after. Don't forget you bought it!

Jelena is sticking with her move of coming in and tapping Balanced Guard and Bodyguard to protect her friends, while killing anything that Roan hasn't.

Swaps can't be conditional on initiative, no, as you swap before the roll.

Vera-Kin races into the southwest corner and performs a leap onto one of the droids. She takes it apart rapidly with a few lightsaber slashes.

Overkill the droid.

Gallagher can have the other.

Roger that. Gallagher follows and overkills the other droid with broad strokes designed to ruin everything that allows it to operate.

Ok, then I'll just tap OG.

Xeth hears the cacophony of gunfire over the repetitions of "DESTROY!"

"Whoa, that sounds like more gunfire than they were expecting," Xeth says to Wentar. "Let's move in."

Xeth is going to move into the connecting corridor behind Jelena and the Padawans.

Moving to outer north connecting corridor.

I've read through three pages and I am still not sure what is going on, I wish that map was still handy))

Can Denzral make his blaster overload and explode or not that kind of blaster?

Denzral will make his way to Xeth's location beng (as far as I can see) the nearest friendlies to me.

Well now, someone should help out Denz, You are basically in a north-south corridor, Denz, on the far east part of the action, not far from where you guys entered. Some of the group went south and around a corner; most of them went north and around a different corner. I'll move you around the north corner. which is the way Xeth went, but bear in mind that droids are popping out behind you. Sadly, I think the only thing the blaster would do if it overloaded is blow your hand off.

1-1 means initiative switches to them; not good timing, but it does mean Roan jumped the right way. His Guard tap actually gives him complete cover this round and also gives him an easy bounce-kill. Sunda taps his Guard as well, though he is unlucky enough to still take a hit. He's also tapped Cleave. Andro gets a rough time of it this round relying on standard defences, but Riposte triggers on one of the legs that goes for him, allowing him to finish them.

Vera and co should be aware that they are under fire by droids chasing from behind.

On the offensive, Andro and Sunda both take down a couple of targets (destroying an upper half and a lower half, and turning two droids into an upper half and a head) and get comfy Cleave protection! Roan scores another bi-section. Reinforcements then turn up! I didn't do your taps for obvious reasons, Jelena. Argo rushes to Andro's side, and all three score partial destructions.

At the southwest, a droid head actually tries to roll in Gallagher's way, but his sharp force instincts forestall that. He and the others get to the southwest corner- uncovering another entry point to the north- and waylay the droids there, just as one pops out both where they were a moment ago and to the north.

Denz runs into three droids!

Rast is in a brief duel with the droid that just popped out at him, taking a careful shot that blows its head off, though the head still seems angry.

Xeth and Wentar, all you can see through the hole cut through the bulhead is a nightmare of flailing sabres, blaster bolts and sparking droid parts, which n the flickering lighting takes the appearance of some nightmare tableau.

More droids popping out, and the ones in the killzone seem to be reinforcing.

On the bright side, consider what attacking this place was like when there were Sith defending it as well.

Denzral- you should go to your lightsaber and tap Riposte to clear out those droids. You'll have to fight through them right now before you can move.

Vera-Kin will swap Balanced Guard for Orthodox Guard, use Block for Armor, and hoping that she can score some Reflections as she moves north of the corner.

She'll chop down the droid there and leave the remnants for Gallagher and D'an.

"Uh... I'm going to make sure Denzral's okay," Xeth says to Wentar. "You should get in there and help, yeah?"

Xeth will backpedal northward to the north corridor so that he can draw bead on the droids surrounding Denzral, blasting a couple of them down with his sonic gun to save the Jedi some trouble and join the others in dispatching droids quickly.

Take cover on the corner wall connecting the halls, please.

Xeth will also throw a shout Rast's way to see if he wants to pull back or stay put and wait for Vera and Gallagher.

Roan, what's the plan? I'm thinking I'll do my Balanced + Bodyguard tap this turn, and we finish off the droids in our immediate presence? Then we can move left or right and kill everything in those places.

Can Jelena try looking around to see what is in here? Or is she too committed to fighting?
