Hoth: Blood and Ice

[Tethys Carrack]

((OOC— can we see the adversary or is it invisible? Can we target it before it reveals itself, or do we need to wait?

If we can’t hit it yet, then Hacha, do you want that first PC slot to grab your gun? Or Moyr, do you want it to commit FD to Sense since I believe that actually takes an action? ))

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Only Galen can 'see' it.

[Hacha Tsuko]

(OOC: Ok, since we are in holding)

Hacha continues to move back to the truck, and goes through the hold, picking up his gun and readying it.

"Whatever it is, I don't like it"

(Two maneuvers to vehicle)

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: It will take two maneuvers to get to the Vehicle, at medium.

There is *kachunk* sound and a canister landed at the Sith Lord’s feet and explodes with electricity arcing out across the group! Galen can see the massive droid, or it’s shimmering outline as it shifted position training what looked like twin autocannon arms at the group.

But still the active camouflage held.

OOC: Hits for a total of 9 strain 2 advantage to activate blast for everyone else to suffer 9 strain, except Hacha!

Gree Murder Droid is Adversary 2 with Defense 1. The active Camo makes it one step further for ranged combat, Galen can ignore this. Still at Medium.

[Darth Bellious]

[Armour with Superior and Bio-Feedback attachments.]
[Soaking 5, at 8/17 Strain]

Darth Bellious would have none of those blasting canisters any longer than was within her ability to determine. So she rolled out of the robot's perimeter view and pushed toward it from the far side.

[Action: Getting out of Sight]
[Manoeuvre: Move to Short]

EE3. Stealth. Master of Shadows. Destiny Flip.: 3eP+1eB+2eC 1 success


[Wounds: 0/14]
[Strain: 10/17]

A side-thought, it was good to be in combat alongside Baes again.

[Tethys Carrack]

"Gray parallels. Gray!" Tethys groans, chastising herself. This is one hell of a way to learn the correct meaning of that color.

"C-Five, you don't need to do this! We can just talk!"

Nevertheless, a small energy shield spirals out from a band worn on her left wrist and her blue-green lightsaber crackles to life.

The glow rod clatters to the floor, where it should continue to illuminate the nearby area as long as no one destroys it.

Round 1, PC Turn #3

5 strain from that attack soaked, 4 taken.

Maneuver #1 to activate Energy Buckler. Use Action slot as a second maneuver to ready lightsaber. Spent 1 Strain to activate Center of Being as an incidental (attacks vs. Tethys have their crit rating increased by 1 until her next turn).

Soak 5 (Jedi Armor, Superior)
Melee/Ranged Defense: both 3 (armor, reflex grip, energy buckler)

[Galen Panteer]

"I should have brought the other rifle." Galen muttered under his breath as he found some cover and fired at the strange distortion.

LS for Success: 11 Damage
2 Advantage + Superior for Crit: 60

[Dapper Dog]

The droid barely shrugged at the glancing shot but it did hit something vital. Still the camouflage held.

OOC: 2 wounds taken and 1 Critical Injury. Agonizing Wound.

[Baesal Zyn]

Baesal followed Moyr's lead in the assault, going to the opposite side of the droid.

Like old times

----
Manoeuvre, move to close
Action: draw light shield
incidental: activation
Strain: 9-3= 6

W/13- S/7
soak 3, defense 4 (5)

[Dapper Dog]

The droid focused on the closest combat, unloading twin-linked autocannons at Baesal, many of the bolts finding purchase through her defenses. Yellow Parallel-Murder Mode engaged.

OOC: Hits for 13 wounds, activates Linked for a second hit at 13. Use boost die to boost next ally, itself.

Baesal will need to Soak this damage. Gree Murder Droid is Adversary 2 with Defense 1. The active Camo makes it one step further for ranged combat, Galen can ignore this. Still at Medium. Baesal is Engaged with the Droid and Moyr at Short. Now Round 2.

Discouraging Wound

[Galen Panteer]

Seeing Baes go down, Galen Cursed under his breath and took another shot.

14 Damage
Crit: 1d100+10 74

[Dapper Dog]

Sensitive equipment is punctured by the shot causing some mobility issues. The machine turned to Galen and fired another canister right into his chest that exploded into blinding light. Thankfully only he was caught in the flash.

OOC: Two critical Injuries, and now at 6 wounds. Now Hamstrung and Agonizing Wound. It hits and deals 8 strain and Disorients Galen for 2 rounds, add a setback.

Gree Murder Droid is Adversary 2 with Defense 1. The active Camo makes it one step further for ranged combat, Galen can ignore this. Still at Medium. Baesal is at Short with the Droid and Moyr at Short. Now Round 2. Galen is Disoriented.

[Hacha Tsuko]

Hacha reaches the ship, catching his breath.

"I *pant* hate *pant* running!" The Duros looks back, seeing shots glance off what looks like heavy armor. "Of course, I go for the anti-personnel rounds and I need anti-tank."

This is fine Hacha. Your weapon is your brain, knowledge and wits. Use that.

Hacha looks around, and identifies a nearby control panel.

"Yellow parallel huh? Let's see if we can't fix that."

[Destiny flip to have control panel. Trying to change the threat level on the group to something more positive like green or gold]

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: You have a connection, Daunting Computers check.

[Darth Bellious]

Moyr was in her own world, seeing Baes fall. Rage engulfed her with potency few experienced, the annihilatory drive fuelled by the Dark Side controlled her actions. Passion rolled in her hands for a surgical strike against the killer bot.

EE2. Attack with Passion. Stealth Upgrade. Flip Upgrade. Zash's Knowledge Boost. Aim Boost.: 3eP+1eA+2eB+2eC+1eS 1 success, 3 advantage


[Action: Attack; Manoeuvres: Move, Aim, 2 Strain]
[Strain 8/17, since FDs weren't effectively committed.]
[10 Damage, 1 Advantage to trigger Critical Injury, 2 to enhance it.]

EE2. Critting Killer Bot. DARK SIDE HIGH DESTRUCTIVE ROLL DAMN IT.: 1d100+70 75

But the Rage against the Machine lacked the precision she'd wanted.

[Dodge as incidental to upgrade]
[Strain: 10/17]

[Dapper Dog]

The lightsaber sliced through the droid with ease exposing vital bits!

OOC: Suffered 16 wounds and now three critical Injuries. Gree Murder Droid is Adversary 2 with Defense 1. The active Camo makes it one step further for ranged combat, Galen can ignore this. Still at Medium. Baesal is at Short with the Droid and Moyr at Short. Now Round 2. Galen is Disoriented.

[Hacha Tsuko]

Hacha connects to the system and is beset by a flow of data, the code alien. "Ok, gold here I come!"

Yellow Parallel No More! -Daunting Computers: 2eP+4eA+4eD 4 successes

[Dapper Dog]

The droid becomes visible and begins flashing bright lights of varying colors and an ear pitching cacophony of notes for several minutes but it is not attacking anyone.

OOC: Not attacking but adds a setback due to distracting sounds and noises. Combat done.

[Darth Bellious]

Red, still seeing red, didn't realise what had just transpired for a moment, but when the metal juggernaut stopped, she was facing a choice: slice it again or run to help Baes.

[DD: Give me some roll to overcome Sith rage and actually choose helping Baes.]

[Tethys Carrack]

"Sorry, Galen, we'll explain the colors after we--no, Baesal!" Baesal is no bruiser; if Tethys had had another beat to think, to plan, she'd have called out to her fellow Jedi not to engage first. Too late now. Tethys doesn't sense life snuffed out, just pain--so swift rescue is still the order of the evening.

She sweeps in closer to the massive droid, following Baesal's path, and slices at what she hopes is a vulnerable part of its chassis with her blue-green saber, sending sparks and metal droplets flying.

OOC: Hard Discipline check?

[Dapper Dog]

The droid falls over and stops making light and sounds.

[Tethys Carrack]

Tethys looks a little sheepish as she deactivates her lightsaber. "Oh. I should have pulled that. Sorry."

She drops to her knees and begins to check Baesal's vitals, unaware that Moyr has any significant attachment to her fellow Jedi or vice versa.

How many stims is this going to take?
If we just get her walking, she has the whole time skip to recover...
