Confirming Crit (1d20+3)[6]

[Lentrax]

Robb runs across the deck, making his way onto and up the ramp as the droids open fire. All the bolts go wide as the ramp automatically ascends, and the bulkhead seals itself with a hiss.

"Welcome aboard." A smooth synthesised voice speaks from the panel in the wall. "I am the Strategic Automated Response Array. You may call me Sara. I have been anticipating your arrival for three point six standard days. Please make your way to the bridge for identity confirmation."

You can hear blasters firing and impacting on the hull, but the soud is distorted, as though it is coming from a greater distance than the ten meters they are from the ship.

[theskorpionking]

Waiting? Kaz thinks to herself, hoping she can still salvage her mission. She makes her way to the bridge, pressing her bag to her side.

[Lentrax]

The bridge is clean, with two chairs sitting at a gleaming control panel. Everything seems to be in perfect condition, as though it were fresh from the factory. Which was odd, since the control scheme was one you recognized from your father's shop.

It was old. Very old. Pre-Empire stuff.

As you enter the bridge, a panel slides open, and two mechanical arms extend out with medical instuments. One takes a sample of Kaz's blood. The other whirs about a bit, as though looking for something, then makes a scan of her eye.

Then they repeat the process for Robb.

"Analyzing....Analyzing....Ana... Match found. Greetings Master Leana. Sith Forces are attempting to puncture my hull. Commscan indicates there are four Imperial Interdictors, three Mark Seven Imperial Star Destroyers, and thirteen wings of Hawk Fighters in the local system. Destination?"

[theskorpionking]

Master....who Kaz sits down in the captain's chair and runs her fingers over the familiar control panel. She remembered playing with one in her fathers shop back home. Thats when it all hit her, she covered her face with her hands and began to cry. She heard the automated voice say something about a destination. She sat up straight, wiped away the tears and said, "I want to go home."

[Lentrax]

"Destination: Home... accepted. Please stand by for departure. Engines activating in. Three. Two. One." The ship lifts up, and moves forward with a small rumble of power.

"Calculating coordinates for hyperspace. Calculations will be complete in two minutes."

The ship begins to pilot itself, making its way out of the path of the gravity generators. Suddenly, an alarm sounds in the room.

Warning! Fighters inbound. At present speed, they will be in firing range in thirty seconds. Estimated time to hyperspace jump, one minute. Error detected. Automated targeting scanners offline. Error detected. Evasive Manuever library deleted. Error detected. Shield grid control offline. Warning! Warning! Fighters inbound. Weapon systems... Online.

Spoiler

Time for some ship combat. You must decide who is going to fly, and who is going to go man the gun turret.

[Holice]

What did you get yourself into this time!

As Robb jumped on board, he knew that safety was still not ensured, but he was a step closer.

The ship probed him a little more than he would have liked, and it called the girl Master Leana. Just who was this girl, he thought to himself.

Shaking his head, It doesn't matter now. Turning to the Twi'lek, "So what's the plan?", he asked. But she was clearly too distraught to answer him.

What else could go wrong?

And just as he said that, more things went wrong.

Looking at the ship sensors and then back at the girl Robb says, "Man that turret, we've got a bump ride ahead!" He then jumps into the pilot seat, checks his console and prepares for some evasive maneuvers.

[Lentrax]

Holice, you are the pilot so, you are going to make the initiative check. It is 1d20+1

Imperials: (1d20+4)[14]

Spoiler

Ship Combat: You are both going to act on the same initiative, so feel free to post as soon as you can after the Imperials have thier turn. You have 5 rounds of combat to survive before Sara can jump to hyperspeed.

[theskorpionking]

How many fighters are we facing and whats the damage die for the turrents ans I suppose I should know if it's a quad laser or what.

Spoiler

sorry if I should have posted this in the ooc thread

[Lentrax]

It is a total of 144 starfighters. Your goal is to survive for 5 rounds.

Your laser cannon deals 4d10x2 damage.

[Holice]

As they leave the docking bay, and the blast shield opens, all Robb can see is enemy ships.

Mother of....., his thoughts wander as hes sees the fighters incoming.

"I hope you're ready and set, cause this is going to be one hell of an escape!", he shouts aloud.

Ok man, get your thoughts straight, focus on the task at hand, and pray that luck is on you side today.

Spoiler

Initiative (1d20+1)[5]

Pilot Check for first round of encounters (1d20+9)[28]

[theskorpionking]

Kaz puts on the headset sitting atop the gunner station and emits a few of her favorite Corellian curses as she see the vast number of fighters heading towards them. "I'm more than ready. Just try not to fly casual. Okay, flyboy?"

Spoiler

looks like the fighters get the first shot.

[Lentrax]

Ion engines scream as the fighters tear through space. Laser cannons sound as the blasts ping off of the shields.

Spoiler

[Lentrax]

More than a few blasts impact on the shields, causing the ship to rock.

Spoiler

"Warning. Shields down to sixty percent."

[Holice]

Spoiler

"I hope this thing holds together!" Kaz yells. She hits the triggers, hoping to take out a few of the fighters.

Spoiler

[Lentrax]

Spoiler

Are you just going to fly in straight lines? Or defensively, or anything?

The ships blaster cannon opens up as you depress the firing studs. But the shots go wide as the fighters prepare for another pass.

[Lentrax]

Blasted fire as the fighters loop around, maintaining thier formation.

Spoiler

(1d20+12)[20]

Most of the shots go wide, and the rest glance off the shields.

[theskorpionking]

[Holice]

Spoiler

I was assuming that we are just trying to get into an open area so that when the hyperdrive comes online, we can hit it and go. Thus I am flying evasively which we can call defensively.

Another Pilot check if you need it: (1d20+9)[19]

Oh she's gonna hold together!, Robb yells out, She has to!, he thinks to himself.

Who brings this many ships to capture a rebel spy by the way? And yes, at this point I am assuming they are after you!, he yells back to the Twi'lek, while continuing to try and avoid the incoming fighters.

[Lentrax]

You strafe the cannon back and forth, trying to hit something...

Yes! One of the fighters explodes, struck smack in the middle. But their he fighters close up as they prepare another run.

[Lentrax]

They're coming around for another pass. They open up with thier cannons again.

Spoiler

(1d20+12)[26]

But Robb jukes at the last moment, throwing off the lock as the fighters scream past again.
"Ten seconds to lightspeed."

The starfighters swarm around the ship, and evade the cannon fire put out by Kaz.

[Lentrax]

A second squadron comes in adding their cannons to the fray.

Spoiler

(1d20+12)[24]
(1d20+12)[17]

Their shots ring off the shields, but they are still holding.

[theskorpionking]

Spoiler

Spoiler

for damage if I hit (4d10)[33] x2

[Lentrax]

"Four."

Cannon bolts fly everywhere.

"Three."

Scarlet bolts light up the darkness of space.

"Two."

The turret atop your ship swings around as Kaz fires again.

"One."

One of the fighters explodes.

"Hyperdrive.... Online."

Starlines blur as you make good your escape into hyperspace.

[Holice]

Never before has Robb had a sigh of relief that felt as good as this one. Not even after escaping those sandworms on planet XS-512 as his employers had dubbed it. Good flying Robb, he told himself reassuringly.

Checking the astrochart and ship sensors, everything seemed to be in working order and the course has been set. To where thou? Let's find out.

Leaving the pilot chair, he walked over towards the Twi'lek, "We seem to be safe for now. That was some good shooting up there...," and just at that moment it dawned on him that he doesn't even know her name.

"You can call me Robb by the way. You got a name?," Robb asked, "Or perhaps some top secret rebel code name?", he added in jest.

As he turned to check a sensor on the side panel, he added, "And where exactly are we headed?"

[theskorpionking]

Kaz turns and smiles at Robb, but the smile quickly disappears. "Thanks" She says sarcastically. She shakes her head. She's hurt, she's tired, and she isn't in the mood for an interrogation. "Look, I wouldn't really call myself a rebel spy. This is, was, my first mission. I failed. I let my brother down. I'm sorry for calling you laser brains earlier and for the way I acted afterwards. Not very becoming of a rebel spy running away from a fight and crying the first chance I got." She's sighs, "And my name is Kaz'meen Solo, but you can call me Kaz. As to where we're headed, Nar Shadda. The only home I've know."

Spoiler

Sorry for the long speech, i was orginally gonna go a little meaner, but chose not too.

[Lentrax]

"Correction, Master. Our destination is.... Warning. Warning. Critical systems damaged."
