You might hit them all, but there's no guarantee. And you wouldn't send more then half your force... But how little? No idea.

[Moral Wiz]

Rathe

Rathe looks a little haughty

Thank you, but no. I prefer to make repairs myself. And given the current level of competence you are displaying...

She meets him with an authoritative stare, then sighs, and brakes it.

The Hand isn't stocked for that sort of thing though. She hasn't taken major damage, but if your base has the equipment, I'd appreciate it's use. A few spare parts, nothing more. I don't fancy explaining why the extra fast ship I ended up requisitioning is in anything less than top condition for when it has to help out against the Rebs again

Hell, I might even be persuaded to be slightly less severe in my report on all this.

[Liliedhe]

"We've notified the base. If you just give us a list of the parts you need, we would be honored to supply them."

The lead trooper commands one of the transports to go back to the base, so they can pick up whatever the "Inquisitor" needs... But, he doesn't seem to trust Rathe completely, because the other vehicle remains present and on alert...

[Moral Wiz]

Rathe

Well, so much for deception.

Rathe closed her eyes as the commander gave the order to the second transport. A slight smile played across her face...

(1d20+17)[22]UTF. Move object, to crash the commander's transport into the other, with all the force she can muster. Will spend force and destiny point on this, as appropriate, to confirm individual rolls.

As I expected, a low roll. I'll start spending points in the OOC then.

[Liliedhe]

Rathe steps forward and raises her hand... and the one transport is raised up and flung through the air to hit the other one...

Stormtroopers scream...

Both vehicles come away from the collision battered, but the same can't be said of the Troopers, several of whom have been crushed. The others prepare to open fire, though.

There are four troopers left. Initiative please.

Initiative - (1d20+2)[5]

Initiative (1d20+11)[18]

Rathe, with a motion, and that same little smile, ignites her lightsaber again. She seems... almost calmed by it's red glow.

Spoiler

Yes, it breaks initiative, but it's a swift action, and Rathe will beet them at this point.

Plus, it's cool. In an evil way.

[Ascension]

"Great Knowledge Bank of Dac!" Rissa exclaims, "You just threw that... Holy..."

She recoils slightly in newfound awe of her friend.

*She is a Jedi! She must be!*

Well, ladies, you got yourself four stormtroopers at your disposal. Try not to disappoint me^^.

With the Stormtroopers still shaken, it's the heroes who go first...

[Ascension]

Rissa turns to the closest stormie.

"Hey! You guys picked on a friend of a friend of mine, and that's just not fittin' nor proper! You deserve what you're about to get!"

Spoiler

Attack: (1d20+9)[13]
Damage: (3d8+4)[24]

If he's within 20 squares she'll have an additional +1 on attack and damage.

"And what you're about to get is hot plasma death!"

[Liliedhe]

Spoiler

I apologize for not getting a map up, but I don't think we'll need one^^. This should be over quickly. Or not. Since the dice are still imperial, it seems.

Rissa's shot goes wide...

[Moral Wiz]

Rathe

Rathe's smile fades now, as the combat begins

You could crush them with the transport. Easy, quick and as painful as they...

No. They deserve a chance for surrender, now they know the odds.

With a thought the transport falls to the ground. Rathe smiles at her friend's words and shot, her voice quiet and more mild than she felt

Now, now Riss. We've got to be polite.

Then, with a wink, Rathe seems to bring up a wall of blue force around herself. Saber in hand, she starts to slowly walk towards the Imperials.

Surrender, answer a few questions, and we won't kill you.

Can't remember how Force Shield looks... Once I get my book back, I'll change the effect.

[Liliedhe]

The men do not seem to be willing to heed that advise - two of them manning the large guns of their sleds seems to convince them that they can take you down.

So, let's see if they hit and what - if necessary - Rathe can block...

EDIT: Seems like the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy is still going strong. Your turn.

[Moral Wiz]

Spoiler

+1 reflex defense due to having lightsaber defense, and saber in hand. (Yes, I did mean to have LS defense active, just forgot to note it. I mean, why wouldn't you?) Rathe's even with that, and massively beats all the others.

[Moral Wiz]

Rathe

Well, I made the offer

Rathe continues walking forward, Lightsaber in hand, slowly and grimly. One of the blaster shots needed to be parried, but nothing more. She seems totally in control of the situation as she advances

Spoiler

Is she now in Melee range, with a move action?

[Liliedhe]

Spoiler

Show

No, if you run, you can close in within a turn, but it's to far for a walk^^.

[Moral Wiz]

Spoiler

Still walking then. Need a standard action to maintain the shield. In lack of a tank, this is the next best thing for Rissa. No way they're not going to attack Rathe after her killing all their comrades like that.

QT-86

This post fits in once the group catches up...


Sithspit! QT switches to its comm and signals the Luck. "Target has entered a complex at my location, then, I extrapolate, boarded a vessel headed out from the same location. Plot an intercept course if you wish to follow it. I can meet you midair if need be. Come back with a plan and hurry if you don't want to lose their ship."

[Ascension]

"No, no, no!" Rissa reprimands, "I'm the one dishing out hot plasma death, not you! Now you just stay still and take what's coming to you!"

Att: (1d20+9)[13]
Dam: (3d8+4)[17]

Again, if stormie is at point blank range, +1 to both.

Hey, you don't have to do the 'atrocious luck in the first fight' thing every time, you know.^^

Rissa once again misses, while Rathe continues to close in on the enemy. Meanwhile, they insist on continuing to waste their plasma, although the two using their rifles switch to autofire now...

Attack - (1d20+4)[6]
Attack - (1d20+4)[16]

Look at the OOC. That's for such questions^^. And the answer is there, too.

Apparently the forum roller has decided I do need to do this every time...

"Damn pistol must be out of alignment..." Rissa grumbles, but she doesn't have time to work on it now. Instead she simply fires again. Maybe she'll hit something eventually.

Att: (1d20+9)[14]
Dam: (3d8+6)[21]
Once more, +1 to both at point blank.

[Liliedhe]

Rissa misses once again.

[Moral Wiz]

Rathe

Rathe smiles as the frenzy of shots from the Imperials fail to find their mark. Those few that come close are either simply parried by her lightsaber, or absorbed effortlessly through her shield. She draws closer to the attacking troopers, never breaking her slow walking pace. Her voice is deadpan.

Your weapons are useless. Surrender.

Spoiler

Same. Maintain Shield and LsDef, move action towards the stormies... Am I in hand to hand range yet?

[Liliedhe]

Next round.

Now, the guys efforts become frantic... Autofire for all^^.

Attack - (1d20+4)[20]
Attack - (1d20+4)[6]
Attack - (1d20+2)[15]
Attack - (1d20+2)[17]

EDIT: Sorry, mistake. Attack Bonus is zero on the last two, but it changes nothing.

[Ascension]

"JUST HIT THEM ALREADY!" Rissa screams at her pistol. Her frustration aids her aim?

Att: (1d20+9)[17]+(2d6b1)[2] (Force Point)
Dam: (3d8+6)[17]
+1 to both at point blank.

[Moral Wiz]

Rathe

Rathe continues on her slow walk, almost on top of her quarry, smiling but slightly at Riss' exclamation. The few rounds from the Imperials that make contact with her get absorbed effortlessly by her shield, even the cannon rounds can not penetrate.

Last chance . Surrender.

(1d20+12)[26] persuasion, to intimidate them into standing down.

[Liliedhe]

Rissa finally manages to hit, and one of the Stormtroopers drops dead. Rathe's unflinching assault finally gets through to them and they gun the engines and try to rush off...

[Ascension]

"You're not getting away that easy!" Rissa shouts, hustling towards the vehicle with only one remaining trooper and firing at him.

Move, fire.
Att: (1d20+9)[23]
Dam: (3d8+6)[23]
Range modifiers may affect the attack roll, depending on how far the vehicles managed to get.

[Liliedhe]

She shoots him clear off the transport which spins out of control and touches a wall...

Since it wasn't fast yet, it just shudders to a stop.

[Ascension]

"HAH! Bagged us a transport!" Rissa crows.
