"Can I say something about destiny? Screw destiny! If this evil thing comes we'll fight it, and we'll keep fighting it until we whoop it. 'Cause destiny is just another word for inevitable and nothing's inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye, and say 'You're evitable!'"

I am SO @#&* pissed at myself for listening to my conscience and missing the most awesome badass Super Saiyan in the history of EVAR.

Thanks Wyrren. I make no promises that my laser won't miss and you won't wake up missing a testicle.

Michelle and I agree this should be Trax's theme song...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8

Veteran Snowtrooper #12; Incapacitated
Veteran Snowtrooper #24; Wounded
Veteran Snowtrooper #31; Mortally wounded
Veteran Snowtrooper #7; Stunned
Veteran Snowtrooper #26; Wounded
Veteran Snowtrooper #33; Stunned
Veteran Snowtrooper #23; Stunned
Veteran Snowtrooper #16; Incapacitated
Veteran Snowtrooper #32; Wounded

Trax didn't take a single damaging hit until Vader threw him around like a rag doll.

Vader threw . . .

I REALLY have to stop reading the OOC posts first.

Still, Trax should have some damn cool bragging rights now!

I might have to object on principle alone to having Trax's theme song be something from Miley Cirus.  I can't bring myself to actually listen to it, but like the title of the song.  When's the last time the wrecking ball suffered internal injuries from going through a wall. :P

Bragging rights for being tossed around like a rag doll?

A few quick questions, from this side of the dome, can Trax see anything in the way of shuttles, in the air or on the ground, and the same goes for troopers.

One of the shuttles would have had to have been half full at best in order to accommodate taking prisoners, so from Trax's perspective he's now down to having to deal with a potential 110 troopers instead of 120. :)

Assault shuttle cockpits, I assume they would be sealed off from the trooper deployment bay right?

Just out of curiosity, what kind of damage dice did you roll for Trax being sent through the wall and battered with a stone table that probably weighs a ton.

Yes, there is one shuttle on the ground - he can just see the engine pods on the far side of the observatory.

One of the shuttles would have had to have been half full at best in order to accommodate taking prisoners, so from Trax's perspective he's now down to having to deal with a potential 110 troopers instead of 120. :)

There are a butt-load of troopers available. Only 40 or so deployed to inside the observatory. The rest are securing the area around and approaches to the observatory.

Assault shuttle cockpits, I assume they would be sealed off from the trooper deployment bay right?

There is a blast door, but the officer in command of the platoon needs to be able to interface with the cockpit as well as the troops, so there is a means to go back and forth.

From being pinata'ed by Darth Vader himself and living to tell the tale.  With luck, that is . . .  :o

No luck. A Force Point.

Well, a Force Point -and- luck.

Good luck! Even my Jedi master character would probably have reservations about taking on Vader. And he's taking on ancient Sith masters.

Doubt I'll get another post up today but yeah the plan would be to shoot from cover. What bonus does 1/2 give?

+2D difficulty on shots against, and any shots that hit the concrete wall must overcome 6D damage to damage it.

Although, that does mean there's no protection between me and Vader. The droid snuck out, if u snuck in is there anything I could use for cover and not have my back exposed?
