    Rathe looks silent for a moment.

    Yeah. The Jedi were good at that. But I wasn't trained as a Jedi.

    Then, she grins at her friend, before taking her co-pilot seat A Manic grin, somewhat

    I was trained to be far more dangerous. Let's go!

    "Hang on to your hats, folks! This might be a rough landing!"

    Rissa will try to bring the ship in for a landing fairly close to the base. If they get shot at again she will allow the missile to hit, then she'll have Rathe cut the shields and she'll try to bring the Light down in a way that makes it look like it's being shot down.

    If they're not shot at, she'll just make a normal landing.

    A few pilot checks, if it's even possible to do this...
    (1d20+16)[24]
    (1d20+16)[21]
    (1d20+16)[30]
    (1d20+16)[19]

    A deception check, if such is needed to make the ship appear to be shot down...
    (1d20+6)[22]
    Or maybe it's a persuasion check...
    (1d20+16)[35]

    If it does require a persuasion or deception check, and I roll less than ten on the required check, I'll use Competitive Drive to roll again and take the better score.

    As Rissa brings the ship towards the ground, once again two missiles streak out of the hidden launchers to track the Liberty.

    Attack - (1d20+8)[9]
    Attack - (1d20+8)[13]
    Damage - (6d6)[16]
    Damage - (6d6)[21]

    Yes, Deception would be a good idea, though your roll is sufficient to make it work.

    One missile is so far off course even Rissa can't make it hit ((Seriously, a 9?)), but the other one hits the Light dead on.

    "Okay, Rathe, shut down those shields!"
    Rissa shouts as she tries to make the Light look like it's going out of control. She flies behind a ruined building with the Light "shaking apart" and sets the ship down on the ground behind its cover.

    "Get Reilo on the guns! Have him shoot something, make an explosion of some sort! Make it look like we've been hurt bad!"

    The ex-imperial grips the console hard, and sighs as her poor ship finally touches the ground

    Ok. That was... unique.

    Still, now we've got cover, shall I turn the shields back on? It might be as well to make sure the Imps can't take the Liberty out in a single hit.

That way they won't send out all that many to investigate the 'wreckage', and they won't be well armed. They'll be easy pickings for the three of us.

    QT-86

    QT had begun to track the speeder, but turned some as the acrobatics took place. "I hope you folks are all right, over there? Do you need me to return to the ship or head in the direction of the speeder? This entire situation is way too dicy for my tastes and I believe we should find a place to lay low for a bit and recollect our bearings. I'm sure that you will likely agree that this was a setup. Do we want to get back at them or what?" Even during the conversation, it still speeds off in the speeder's direction, blasting through the scrub as fast as his jets will let it to keep a low profile.

    I don't think QT would see the acrobatics, given that they happened 500 KM north of where he started, and we headed there in a spaceship at, apparently, full throttle. But he'll probably have seen us at some point, doing something, so I'll let it stand.

    At the base

    Reilo, would you?

    Rathe sighs, as she gets up. Though she smiles as she pulls out her saber, if a tad grimly. She turns round and heads over to the passenger docking ramp.

    So... How do we want to play this? Just head over there, weapons out, and kill everything in our way?

    Rissa follows Rathe to the ramp.

    "Well, I'm guessing 'lost tourists' and 'traveling saleswomen' wouldn't go over too well... and given their little display with the missiles, it seems they're shooting first and asking questions later, so..."


    She pulls out her blaster pistol.

    "I say we fight fire with fire."


    She gives Rathe a tentacular "grin."

    @QT:

    He follows the speeder up north. Whether their mark knows that he's followed or is oblivious to it, he isn't sure. He makes not try to evade or loose him, buthe is carefully keeping out of sight from anywhere else, sneaking through narrow streets and driving through the ruins. At one point, he sees the Liberty streak overhead, straight to the North.

    Spoiler
    Show
    I'm going to the conclusion of the chase. That will take QT beyond the point where Rathe and Rissa are already, but since they are likely to catch up very soon anyway...


    Several hundred kilometers to the north, the speeder dives once again into a ruined building, but this time he doesn't come out again. Instead, after a short time, QT hears a ship engine start up...

    She sees nothing of the enfolding drama, being stuck at the foot of the meeting sight...

    Probably foolish, but Rathe is angry. Oh yeah. Rathe's either about to slaughter the Stormies, or bluff them in order to get into melee range, then will slaughter them.

    Oh, and could she pass as an inquisitor, given the circs? Red saber, "Acolyte" Rissa here , knows most of the right stuff, just been shot at by the bone-head base squadren who didn't even bother to give a warning... ID's a problem, but could it fool for the short term? (possibly with the use of a small piece of paper, and a mind trick on the stormtrooper checking)

    Well, I'm asking that. In your opinion, will it at least work for us to get the better of this squad? Is there any real flaw in this that I haven't considerd? (possibly due to Imperial Opperating Proceadure, like Rathe should have been briefed on secret sights like this?)

    Oh, and I think I can convince them without lieing once.

    Two ground transporters appear between the ruins and start to close in on the Liberty and the two women. Both are rather old and battered, but armed with laser cannons. Each of them carries 5 stormtroopers. They halt in a safe distance and train their weapons on you...

    Rathe sighed. She looked daggers at the lead trooper on the transport closest to her.

    What did you think you were doing, you idiots?

    She walks over, barring any further threats, which cause her to sigh, and stop. She de-activates her lightsaber, but doesn't look any less threatening. Her body language screams danger.

    And... If I hit one of them with the other (as they're both parked, and thus can't make grapple checks...)... I damage all the stormies, correct? What size are the transports?

    They are huge. And they are still hovering, not grounded.

    What's their grapple mod? And the name of the Local space port (made a knowledge, gal lore check earlier?


    Rathe scoffed. Arrogence was expected of an Inquisitor. They were amoungst the best, after all

    I wasn't sent here. Hell, I didn't know there was a base here. I was persuing a small, elite Rebel group, who seemed to be on Taris to make some kind of deal with the local criminal element.

    They had... better armament than we'd expected. We'd banked on the Rebs being unlikely to die easy, but their partners in crime had anti-ship weaponry. Unfortunatly we weren't prepared to deal with that, so we retreated for civilization to try and get re-enforcments from the Garrison.

    When someone decided they'd save the rebs a job....

    I would say they at least have a mission control^^, who knows where given people are supposed to be.

    The local spaceport is Taris Commercial Spaceport.
    And I don't think I'm obliged to tell you the mods a given target has on anything.


    The soldier hesistates. "So, how badly damaged is your ship, Madam? Do you require assistence for repairs?" He signals one of the troopers on the other transport.

    I know. It's called "begging". I need a lot to get out of this one. Or at least, something.

    Assume I spend a destiny point to auto-win the grapple, and slam the transports together with move object. Will all the Stormies be hit?

    And a military tactics question. How large a percentage of your force would you send to capture an unknown risk target? (Like, say, the ship?) Assuming they don't have a massive force, where a squad would be disposable...
