[D8MA] DE_Dust (Assault Team)

[Nekoinu]

"I h-have no idea," she started, and then looked over to the guards. She then ran out of the way!

---

Please roll Cool for Initiative!

[Niall Organa]

Assault team - Cool!: 1eP+3eA 5 successes, 1 advantage

[Arali Zian]

Well, it was worth a shot, trying to be civil.

Arali reaches for her lightsaber.

((Cool: 1eP+3eA 4 successes, 2 advantage
))

[Layne Hoshin]

Layne didn't give a fuck. She had her lightsaber in hand, with not a care in the world.

Cool for init: 1eP+1eA 2 successes, 1 advantage

[HX-S4]

"So, are doing the thing?" HX would likely have blinked if it could~

D8 MA Cool for Initiative: 2eA 1 success, 1 advantage


Group B:
D8 MA Cool for Initiative: 2eA 2 successes, 1 advantage

Round 1:
PC, PC, PC, NPC, NPC, PC

[Niall Organa]

Well, it seemed clear which way this was going to go.

"People are counting on us. Let's bring them down!" Niall called to his teammates. He twisted to the side, taking cover near the entrance.

----------------------------------

Action: Inspiring Rhetoric
Assault team - Improved Inspiring Rhetoric: 2eP+2eA+2eD 2 successes, 2 threat, 1 Triumph

Layne upgrades her next check from my triumph

Maneuver: Take cover
If attacked, will use dodge
Wounds: 12/12
Strain: 9/13

[HX-S4]

HX-S4 would immediately begin screaming lavender blaster bolts wildly, as it rolled off behind some crates for cover, firing all the while. The shots were a bit wild, but would strike one of the guardsmen, with a rather painful looking bolt of energy.

Assault Team | PEW | Auto - Multiple Targets: 4eP+1eA+1eB+3eD 5 successes, 1 advantage


- Medium Range
- Action to attack with Light Repeating Blaster (DMG 11 | Crit 3 | Pierce 1, Auto-Fire), targeting multiple targets
- Maneuver to take Cover
- Will Dodge (2 Strain, 2 Upgrades) any shots taken at me.
- If combat needs to be sped up, please use this to Ghost me.

[Layne Hoshin]

Layne still didn't give a fuck. She went for the other group of target dummies, and as she did the darksaber ignited. Truly it was a magnificent thing to behold, black as void with the white outline as it sucked the light inward from its surroundings. And the sound it produced was a much higher pitch than normal for a lightsaber too.

One would have only a few moments to gaze upon it before she cuts down a couple of guards with practiced ease.


Lightsaber, upgrade from Niall, boost from niall, boost from aim: 3eP+1eA+2eB+2eD 3 successes, 5 advantage

((1 maneuver to close distance, 2 strain for additional maneuverLayne does 11 damage, 1 free advantage from curved hilt used for a crit (At the Brink), 1 advantage to give next ally a boost, 2 advantage to give niall a boost, 2 advantage to heal 2 strain, and I guess Fearsome 2 to anyone still alive at engaged range))

Defense 1:
Wounds: 17/17
Strain: 17/17
Soak: 5

((above stats may change due to earlier threads in the day. Also note that Layne is suffering from at least 2 criticals))

[Nekoinu]

All four of the guards were taken down by the onslaught on them. Mallory kept her head down and all was quiet, if only for a slight moment...

---

Arali has one turn before a new round begins. Will assume next wave arrives at end of Round 1 and then Initiative will occur as normal. For smoothness, will not require Initiative rerolls.

[Arali Zian]

Arali lights her saber and advances, joining the Sith on the front lines and trying not to think about the soldiers who just died.

((Ignite lightsaber. Switch to stun as a maneuver. Action-as-maneuver to move up to join Layne.))

[Nekoinu]

"Keep them out of the hangar bay!" The sergeant and his men prepped their blaster rifles...

---

[Arali Zian]

On the arrival of the reinforcements, Arali singles out the leader and charges, launching a thrust clean at the man's chest that erupts with a thunderous crack.

((Lightsaber: 2eP+2eA+3eB+2eD 1 success, 2 threat

Boost: 1eB 1 success, as I forgot that last boost.

I add 1 advantage on successful hit, so that becomes 2 success, 1 threat.
11 stun damage coming the sergeant's way, and Nekoneko has a threat to play with.))

[HX-S4]

HX would silently move to the next target, a stream of light flinging from the exposed blaster barrel.

- Maneuver to Aim
- 13 Total Damage, Crit

[Layne Hoshin]

Layne meanwhile rushed toward the group of guards were at the same distance as the sergeant...

...and eviscerated them.

Lightsaber, boost from niall.: 3eP+2eB+2eD 4 successes, 1 advantage

crit: 1d100 10

((2 strain for additional maneuvre to get into engaged, fearsome to the sergeant if he was next to group c? 1 free advantage for critical, 1 advantage for next ally I guess, Layne inflicts 12 damage))


strain 15/17
wounds 17/17
soak 5
defense 1

[Nekoinu]

Garrick Lorne, for his part, knelt down to address Mallory, the Czerka employee. "Disable the alarm on your datapad and give them the all clear. You know we are doing the right thing here."

In the meantime, the sergeant moved back away from the twi'lek Jedi and leveled his rifle. "We're getting overrun here!" Still, the incoming blast for Arali was enough to send her saber flying out of her hands!

---

D8 MA Pew Pew the Arali, Short Range: 2eP+1eA+1eD+1eB 2 successes, 3 advantage

[Niall Organa]

Niall took careful aim and fired. Or, reasonably careful aim, anyway. Blaster bolts flew around the sergeant, but somehow failed to hit.

------------------

[Nekoinu]

From below the ship, a loud thud hit the ground, the source a large, box-shaped object. It then sprung forth legs and crawled out from under the ship. "Non-Czerka personnel detected!" a charming voice announced. It's visual optics then turned red. "Termination approved!" Four more, much less menacing droids dropped to the ground as well and pulled out their rifles.

Behind the group, a contingent of Hutt Security forces came to assess the situation. "I will handle them," Garrick announced, "Go!"

[Niall Organa]

Niall smiles, peering out from behind his cover. "Looks like they're starting to take us seriously." He calls, his voice carrying. "But they'll need to do a lot better than that, won't they?" He takes aim with his pistol.

[Layne Hoshin]

Layne sprinted toward the most dangerous looking opponent; the killbot. That was not its proper designation most likely.

Anyway, she sliced it up pretty good, inflicting some decent damage and making the droid's counter attack significantly more difficult.


Attacking Killbot, adversary 2, upgraded from HX's triumph, 1 boost from aim: 3eP+1eA+1eB+2eC 2 successes, 3 advantage

wounds: 17/17
strain: 13/17
defense: 1
soak: 5

[Nekoinu]

"Systems have taken massive damage. Priority target: lightsaber users." The droid revved up its repeating blaster and began spraying indiscriminately at both the Jedi and Sith. The fusillade of blaster fire allowed an opening for the surviving Sergeant to take a good shot at Layne!

---

[Niall Organa]

Seeing Arali fall, Niall stood. He fired even as he ran forward, shooting the sergeant. As he reached Arali, he pulled out a stim, injecting her with it.

[Niall Organa]

With the Czerka Kill Bot down, it seemed the fight was over for the moment.

After offering a hand to help Arali up, Niall took a look around. "Right. Let's secure the area. See if we can get our vehicle moved in here. And see if we can find a cargo loader, and make ready to help the steath team if needed."

He flicked his comm, sending a pip of static to the other team, requesting status if available.
