Hoth: Blood and Ice

[Vaylin]

Having successfully garnered her attention, for better or for worst, Vaylin has decided to use a most unorthodox method to reach Senya’s location. This will require brave intrepid folks to put their lives on the line and try and buy time.

Nothing like fighting a powerful Force user and pirate fighters at the same time.

Should be fine.

The fighters scream across the sky towards the vergence with Vaylin standing on top of the lead ship. They probably tried to tell her no, but then they saw what she could do and just complied.

OOC: This is open to two ships as they engage the pirates over the icy wastes of Hoth, and a very angry and focused Vaylin who may or may not throw literal ships and glaciers at them. And yes Vaylin is strong enough to engage with ships at their scale in this encounter.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Please roll initiative, Cool, in your post, to speed things up.

[Garth Thul]

Garth slid into the co-pilot seat of the Turtle, Nudi had said he might be coming and the Naval pilot would give the Chiss until the last moment before launching.

But if push came to shove, he would do what needed to be done.

D5 She can fly. Cool initiative: 2eA+1eP 2 successes, 2 advantage

[Hacha Tsuko]

Hacha goes over his scans, looking up in disbelief. "I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't seeing it myself. There's a biological riding one of those things?"

He thinks on this. "Boss, this is either very stupid, or it's one of those "there is no such thing as overkill" things"

[Pipka]

Pipka looks through the sighting computer to see what Hacha is talking about, "... I love it, can we do that? Can you make a harness so I can do that?

I've got the Flechette Launcher and the Missile Tube, I can go to town with those two. Please Hacha!" He calls back through the ship.

Hacha goes over his scans, looking up in disbelief. "I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't seeing it myself. There's a biological riding one of those things?"

"Not fer long ah hope. Ah don' think she can fly wi'out that ship 'neath her."

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Please note what ship you are on, I think we are waiting on one more.

[Garth Thul]

All PC's currently crewing the Turtle.

[Jan Melmoar]

"Turtle, this is The Bottom Line reading your signal loud and-"
A brief pause over the comms.
"Is she actually riding a fighter? Amazing, the whole trip was worth it just for this. The sheer girlboss energy on display right now."

"I'll try and draw some of their fire, you go do hero things."
The cruiser lumbers out of the clouds trailing lines of vapour as it soars into battle.

OOC: Will give this till 12 Eastern time to fill otherwise standard crew with 2 in the stat and 2 in the school so 2eP for rolls. For Jan's ship, it can use three more folks.

[Baesal Zyn]

The bottom line....She never flew on this particulier ship before but it seemed proper enough

"Engineering is ready" she relayer to the cockpit

Bottom line cool: 2eA 0 successes, 3 advantage

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Locked in now.

[Pipka]

Pipka looks around in confusion, "Hacha, why does Nudimsu sound like that? Did he start pre-gaming for the Goat Dance Party without us!?!?! It's way too early, he's gonna be blitzed before we get to see the goats dance."

[Hacha Tsuko]

Hacha looks around and then looks back over to Garth.

"I think we need you in the main seat. I don't know where boss is, but we are short at the moment"

[Vaylin]

Vaylin smiled, this was going to be fun. The fighters fell into formation and it was go time.

Into the danger zone.



OOC: Vaylin is riding with Minion Squad 1, each squad has 3 ships and there are five minion groups. Pirate Leader is Adversary 2 and Defense 1, Minions are Defense 1.

Vaylin is Silhouette 0 and Adversary 6 with Defense 3 if they want to get spicy. Vaylin is too cool to die but she can be inconvenienced but she will make it to her next appointment because time is unbreakable.

Defeat the enemy pirates or die trying. Current speed is 3 and range to each other is currently Medium. The last two slots are from the Crew of the Bottom Line, Bob and Bobb. They roll 2eP at their assigned task.

PC Turn. The fighters are Silhouette 3.

[Garth Thul]

Garth had led them out here, Nudismu had given him his blessing to take her out, had put the ship and the crew in his hands. He would not let him down.

Garth extended his senses, he had no idea who the sentient atop the ship was, but even at this range he could sense her power even as he channelled his own into a different direction.

"Hol' tight ladies, gentlemen an' other life forms, this could get tricky. Pick yer targets well, an' prepare fer some swift adjustments." Garth called over the internal comms before whispering softly to the Turtle.

"Talk t'me girl, show me what y' got."

Action : Commit 1 Force dice to Sense (upgrade the difficulty of the first two attacks against the Turtle each round once)
Maneuver: Evasive action (upgrade the difficulty of all attacks on, and by, the Turtle once)
Maneuver 2: Commit 1 Force Dice to Intuitive Evasion (upgrade the difficulty of all attacks on the Turtle once)

Final: Difficulty of first two attacks against Turtle each round increased by 3, difficulty of all subsequent attacks increased by 2. Difficulty of all attacks made by Turtle upgraded by 1. Garth suffers 1 strain each round Intuitive Evasion remains activated.

Garth Wounds 0/14
Garth Strain 3/12

Day 5 EA, she flies now, Bobb roll, fire discipline, hard leadership,: 2eP+3eD 0 successes, 1 advantage


A friendly voice comes over the comms: "Don't worry captain, we'll get 'em!"
"Bob, please, shut the hell up unless spoken to."
"Okie dokie captain!"

[Dapper Dog]

Vaylin focused on the ships as the fighters began to increase speed still keeping their distance. The pirates were cautious for now not willing to directly engage just yet.

OOC: Minion groups 1 through 4 Accelerate for now to Speed 4, not willing to suffer strain to move closer. Pirate Leader uses Move to get to Short and suffers 2 system strain to increase Speed to 4.

PC Turn. Vaylin is riding with Minion Squad 1, each squad has 3 ships and there are five minion groups. Pirate Leader is Adversary 2 and Defense 1, Minions are Defense 1.

Vaylin is Silhouette 0 and Adversary 6 with Defense 3 if they want to get spicy. Vaylin is too cool to die but she can be inconvenienced but she will make it to her next appointment because time is unbreakable.

[Jan Melmoar]

Day 5 EA, she flies now, Jan gunnery quad laser, on pirate leader, short range, 2 upgrades from adversary, 1 from sniper shot, and a difficulty increase from silhouette, true aim: 7eP+1eA+2eB+2eC+2eD+1eS 0 successes, 6 advantage, 1 Triumph


A flurry of blasts cut throw the icy air at the approaching pirate leader, Jan's finger is absolutely glued to the firing button. But he's just a little to wiley to get turned into scrap metal just yet. Still, it causes a hell of a lightshow and splits up the approaching fighters.

(( Jan sniper shorts and true aims for +2 strain. Spend 2 of that advantage to recover strain, next 4 go into boosting the action of the next PC, triumph is dealer's choice as I have to get back to work for a bit))

[Pipka]

Pipka watched as the apparent leader bobbed and weaved through the Bottom Line's fire. While the leader brazenly approached, he lined the fighter up in his sights through AG/L Mk. III targeting goggles. Once he was confident of the shot, he released the durasteel projectile and watched as it sailed across the icy landscape and made solid contact.

Maneuver: True Aim
Action: Attack.
D5, EA, She Flies, Gunnery Sabot, Leader, True Aim 4, 2 boost from Jan, Evasive, Adversary 2: 8eP+3eB+2eC+1eS 11 successes

Damage = 7(Sabot)+4(Deadly Accuracy)+11(Successes)=22 damage, Breach 2

[Dapper Dog]

The fighter becomes nothing but slag.

[Hacha Tsuko]

"Brilliant shot Pip! Maybe let's give the crazy lady a bad day next!"

Hacha taps on the keyboard. "Cry baby, cry. Make your Mother sigh"

Physical countermeasures deploy, linked to beacons going off of a program tied to quickly pulse and alternate transmitters. While it did not affect visual targeting, sensors boards suddenly report five more freighters.

Spoof Missiles-she can fly now combat -Computers Average: 2eP+4eA+2eD 2 successes, 4 advantage

2 upgrades to Guided weapons until next turn, pass Boost to next player

[Vaylin]

Vaylin was impressed, “These savages have teeth, although they are fighting inferior tech.” She reached out and could feel every seem and crevice on the Turtle searching… feeling and then she found it and began pulling… wrechning and then with a great shuddering the main cannon is wrenched off the ship and tossed towards the Bottom Line at incredible speed.

“No more of that, savages.”

OOC: Rips off the Sabot and tosses it at the Bottom Line, they will need to do an Average piloting check but gain a boost due to the threat. Vaylin has Zakuul training and can use light or dark pips without penalty.

Vaylin Discipline + Force Die Move Silhouette 2: 4eP+2eA+3eD+9eF 3 successes, 1 threat, 12 Light Side, 2 Dark Side

[Jan Melmoar]

"Oh my Miss Melmoar! That gun is coming right at us!"
The equally outgoing Bobb wrenches the ship's controls and The Bottom Line dives below the incoming sabot.

Day 5 EA, she flies now, Bobb, Average pilot test, boost from threat, setbacks from handling, spending a destiny: 2eP+1eA+1eB+2eD+3eS 3 successes, 1 threat
