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

Denz will continue with his action of trying to get to his allies before he gets cut off.

"You should keep that up so we don't have to watch our backs so much," Wentar comments, hacking a a droid beside his friend.

Swap Focused Guard for Orthodox Guard, Bodyguarding Xeth, attacking one of the droids in our zone.

Seeing the horde of droids coming their way down the southern east-west corridor, Vera-Kin looks north to where Aurel is cutting up the floor.

"Let's move," Vera says to Gallagher and D'an, before moving up the hallway. She keeps her sabers raised defensively, then springs onto the droid in her path and cuts it up.

Swap Reflection for Charge, go for an overkill on the droid.

"What are you doing?" Rast asks Aurel as he moves up beside the Jedi Knight cutting into the ground. He probably then senses the space too and just nods.

If a droid appears, Rast shoots it a lot.

Gallagher moves with Vera-Kin, using Coordination to sidestep incoming fire should the droids round the corner after them.

"I think Aurel is exploring what I sensed," Gallagher says. "Unless he's picked up something himself. Either way, down is the answer."

Ok, I've been generous with time, so time to move on.

4-4 switches initiative back to you. It's also a refresh round!

Denz hurries on towards Xeth and Denz, Aurel goes to sbare the floor, but soo notices it's not worth it... the metal floor you are on has a slight wobble to it. This is a concealed service hatch. With Rast now by your side, shifting it will be easy.

Xeth then proves that milennia of investment in careful, precise weaponry was all a waste as his grenade launcher blows five droids (or droid parts) out of the picture. That will help...

I am assuming the northeast fight continues as before.

"Certainly the more appropriate weapon for this sort of situation," Xeth comments to Wentar as smoldering droid bits come clattering down around them.

Xeth launches another volley into the inner northwest corner to clear it out completely.

Looks like that hot sabre on metal action will be reserved for someone else. Rast, if you wouldn't mind giving me a hand with the hatch?

_______________

Aurel stops his sabre after only a moment in the floor, then pulls it out and puts his hands on it, noticing its properties. "Concealed," he mutters to himself, then looks to Rast, "Help me get this out of the way."

Ears ringing from the blast of Xeth's cannon, Andro presses on, glad to have had their retreat into the now smoldering area delayed. With less heat incomming, he wades in to help clean out the remaining group before more droids appear.

(Sorry it's been a while, thanks for continuing our group's fight. Been dealing with some ongoing illness, which is obviously no excuse for missing RP duties. 😉 I will endeavor to improve my attendance. Swap Cleave back in please, in place of Perfect Strike.)

Andro [OGc/RI/CL] Let's try to perma-kill a droid with that Cleave.

"I think you've got it," Rast says to the muscle-bound Jedi. Instead of helping with the task Rast blows away a droid to the north.

haermm Oh yeah, Aurel is kinda beefy, isn't he? I suppose I forgot that.

Swap in Bodyguard (now refreshed) and defend Argo to give him added Defense. She instructs Essallin to get clear and join Wentar if she is clear to do so.

Jelena cuts down one of the last pieces of droid in her area, particularly any piece that prevents her Padawan from moving to safety.

Gallagher moves north with D'an, using Coordination to dodge lasers since I do not believe there is a droid in our way.

Move north with Gallagher and use Coordination!

Hmm, our fearless leader has not posted in some while, Shall I push on?

In his absence, someone else should take command. Jelena is next in line for the Jedi, whilst Xeth and Vera run the Renegades.

My big advice is to pick one strategy and stick with it. This situation has multiple solutions, but it is pointless trying to do all of them.

I'm here! With a new map too!
I've put everyone in their spots as best I could, I've also added all the droids.
But one of the most important things is that I've gridded the map out a bit. The smallest lines on the map are sections that Ush has defined. If you notice, the Outer NorthWest Corner has its own little box with one droid in it. So this should reflect Ush's posting graphically.

Now, plan time. I like the trapdoor option, but I also like us not getting killed. So I think we should attempt to regroup with the trapdoor.
So Vera/Gallagher move up to Aurel's position at the trapdoor.

Sunda and I are going to move up to the connecting corridor with Denz.
I suggest Andro and Jelena move to my old position in the center of the inner corridor.
Wentar/xeth, keep clearing that area for this turn, then retreat back up to the outer corridor.

Iffa should head towards the trapdoor, taking the south route as it has less droids.

Lets not just blindly jump down the trapdoor though. Lets take a look down there first, so we don't make the same mistake twice and jump into a den of killer droids...

Sounds like a good plan, will get us out of this damn fighting.

Wentar will indeed remain where he is, bodyguarding Xeth and attacking one of the remaining droid legs.

(Cool. Andro will comply, happily.)

I'll back that plan. Xeth will stand his ground and blow things apart for now.

I'm in support of the withdrawal to the hatch. Let's avoid diving in blindly! Jelena is still chopping down a droid near her and asking Essallin to withdraw while she defends Argo.
