The auto-gun to the right of the mine shaft explodes in a shower of sparks as blaster shots hammer into it, destroying it. The second gun takes some minor damage from the explosion suffered from its comrade, but not enough to silence it. during the explosion, you can see the two auto guns are backed against a rock wall.

"One down! Well done, men! Now take down that other hunk of rebel junk!" To give credence to his words, as well as to his leadership techniques, he brings up his weapon to fire, aiming at the remaining gun.

"I guess this is why they used droids. Don't know when to give up." Kenth takes aim at the other turret, but noting his squad-mate's headless charge checks his fire, instead reaching out with his other perceptions, feeling the vaguely cold presence of the droid, and violently hurling it into the wall of the corridor.

Marr closed his eyes for a moment as the droids explosion lit the chamber. When he opened them one of his squad was charging the droid. Marr chose to hold his fire lest he hit his squadmate.

[TheThan]

All of you except for Kenth are amazed to see the droid lurch to the side and crash into the stone wall at the left side of the tunnel. It explodes in a shower of sparks but the droid's weapon is still fireing, at everything but it's target as the gun whips about the encloses space, spraying the floor, ceiling etc. However Regrun manages to get close enough to finish it off with his vibroblade, finally silencing the machine.


If anyone examines the remains of the droids you will see they are little more than tripods with repeating blasters attached to them. Clearly, an automated defense system rigged up by the rebels in case this section of the base was breached.
Where the two auto-guns were set up, the tunnel makes a sharp right hand turn and then immediately opens up on the left hand side into a large cavern.

If anyone wishes to peer around the corner into the cavern then please roll perception checks.

Kenth relaxes slightly as the gun stops firing, pushing off the wall and advancing down the hallway with the rest of the squad. As the cavern comes into view, Kenth peers into the room, attempting to determine precisely what occupies the space,

Marr stood up, a little unsure as to what made it smash into the wall. Faulty gear maybe? Well it didn't matter right now they had to move on. Marr pushed it out of his mind and following Rergun's example again pulling out his Sensor Pack to get a read.

Peeking around the corner, Regrun and Kenth sees a large cavern; centered in it is a cargo skiff partially loaded up with crates. Next to that there is an older model cargo load lifter, but it seems to be non operational as the side panel has been pulled off and a rebel tech is bent over it working on the mechanism.

Standing between the cargo skiff and you are several crates that look like they are waiting to be loaded up onto the cargo skiff. You spy two more rebel techs manually loading a black crate onto the cargo skiff; a brown furred wookiee is also helping load boxes onto the skiff, doing the work of two people. Clearly they are trying to evacuate the base. The cargo skiff is pointed towards a larger corridor that probably leads out.
Regun also sees about five rebel soldiers taking up position among the crates of cargo. It looks like they heard the shooting from the short fight with the sentry guns and must be acting as a rear guard.

Meanwhile Kenth senses the presence of ten entities on the other side of the rock wall (where Regrun is looking), even though there are only nine visible. Two of them are non-human. Marr’s sensor pack also picks up nine life forms other than your squad.
Beyond the loading area there is a series of windows and a door set into the stone wall.
The two sentry guns are wrecked, nothing seems salvageable.

Regrun and Kenth get improved cover (+10 reflex defense) because they’re peering around the corner (I imagine only two people can peek around a single corner at a time).
The rebel soldiers are using the crates as cover
The wookiee and two of the three soldiers spotted both Regrun and Kenth as they peaked around the bend.

Surprise round:
Only Regrun and kenth get to act because they are the only two in position to shoot or be shot at. The rest of the squad is not caught off guard, but there’s a rock wall between them and the bad guys as well so they can’t be attacked either.
But only two soldiers and the wookiee get to act.
Feel free to roll initiative and post actions, but only Regrun and kenth get to act this round. everyone else’s actions will take place in the next round.

[Saulk]

Beltane took a knee, moving up against the wall for cover, aiming out with his rifle, knowing that Rergun and Kenth would be reporting back with the positions of the enemy as soon as they saw something. If something came around the corner, he wanted to be ready to take it down.

Regrun opens fire with his weapon, spraying blaster fire into the area, he manages to catch two taking up positions too close to gether and they’re forced to keep their heads down. Meanwhile Kenth takes more precise aim and catches a rebel in the chest, blasting a nasty burning hole in his chest and putting him on his back. He doesn’t move. Return fire is sporadic at best and inaccurate, you see blaster bolts slam into the wall in front of you, leaving smoking holes and showering the area with some shrapnel.

Surprise round is over. Regrun wounded two rebel troopers with his autofire, failing to hit both of them, so they take half damage.

Regrun and Kenth have improved cover, giving them +10 to their reflex defense (making them near impossible to hit) while the others have total concealment and cover because of a big rock wall In the way.

In order for everyone to get in the combat, someone’s going to have to move into the room. You can make the distance to the crates in one round. either that, or people make a move action to make way for another.

So we’re moving on to the first round. I’m keeping track of initiative. Regrun and Kenth are at the top of the round again, so i'll need another action from you two.

Taking a deep breath, Beltane ran for the crates. No commander gained respect from the troops hiding in the back. Not that he was going to be taking chances overly much, but he still had to be seen to be making a stand. Once there, he ducked for cover and opened fire, blasting at the nearest enemy soldier.

The rebels are hammered by a volley of blaster fire from Regrun as he sprays crimson death madly into the room. He hits a rebel soldier center mass and a technician near the cargo skiff, They both go down. A blaster bolt slams into the wall doing nothing. Gage's grenade lands amongst the rebels hiding behind the crates, you hear a trooper yell “grenade!”, but its too late, the device detonates in a deafening explosion, one trooper rag-dolls up and onto the crates and another is blown backwards into the center of the room. The remaining techs scramble for cover, shooting high as they go.

In the madness of someone chucking a grenade in an enclosed space, Beltane, and Sgt Tucker make a mad dash to the relative safety of the crates, firing shots as they go. Beltane is rewarded with a scream of pain as his shot finds its mark, the sergeant’s shot goes wide.
Suddenly a big brown furry thing appears in front of the two leading the charge, a heavy fist comes crashing into the side of the sergeant’s helmet and he goes flying into the wall with a sick crunch. The sarg slides to the floor and doesn't move.

Rergun grinned under his white helmet feeling the flood of satisfaction with his first real kills of the day. Seeing the Wookie charge in at the sergeant and drop him like a ton bricks sent a flare of rage through the trooper. He slung his blaster rifle and drew his vibroblade. He broke cover and charged the Wookie a primal battlecry ripped out his throat as the heat of battle started to take over his senses. The leather wrapped hilt of his vibroblade held tightly in an overhand grip felt good as he used his other hand on the pommel to power assist the blade as he plunged the it into the Wookie's furry backside.

"Damn!" Kenth breaks is focus from shooting, attempting to time his next action to Rergun's blow, attempting to hurl the Wookie away from its target, this time into the edge of the skimmer it had recently been loading. This completed he sprints for the crates within the room, ducking behind on and yelling to the room in general "Rebel forces, surrender now. Drop your weapons and you may survive. Continue fighting and no quarter will be offered or given." internally, he is somewhat more conflicted This is ****ed up. If we capture the Wookie, it'll be sold into slavery, and most of the others will likely be executed or sent to a prison world.

Rergun charges at the wookiee, but the wookiee is just a bit quicker, and kenth’s blade misses it’s mark, but slices a bit of hair as it passes. But then the wookiee is lifted into the air and thrown against a large crate, head first. Then blaster fire lights him up, scorching his hair and severely injuring him.

Roaring in pain, the wookiee, faces Rergun and lets out a terrific wookiee battle roar, which seems to reinvigorate him, despite the blow to the head and the multiple blaster shots. He steps forward and takes a swing at Regrun, the guy with the vibro blade, roaring as he does so. Fortunately he manages to stay out of the reach of that deadly fist.

meanwhile one last shot from zor convinces the two remaining techs to surrender, they throw down their guns and step out with their hands up; however it's clear the wookiee has no intentions of surrendering.
