Mission #14 - A New Ally?

[GM Craig]

Trax ducks and moves to the side to the right, giving everyone a clear field of fire. Jex steps through the door to the left with vibrosword in hand and makes short work of the trooper there, hacking through blaster rifle, armour, bone and flesh.

Niil opens fire and wounds two more troopers. Collan follows up with a shot of his own, but the shot goes wide of the dodging trooper.

Return fire begins. A shot pings off the door frame over Mariah's head. She's statrtled but unhurt. One of the troopers with a bayonette fixed rushes at Jex. He manages to get a hit in with a rifle butt, but Jex shrugs it off. The remaining trooper fires at Niil, but Niil doesn't even flinch as the shot goes just a little wide.

[Actions?]

Trax: Unhurt
Jex: Stunned (-1D on actions this round)
Niil: Unhurt
Mariah: Unhurt
Collan: Unhurt
Security Droid: Incapacitated
Trooper #1: Wounded
Trooper #2: Wounded
Trooper #3: Eviscerated pile of seeping goo
Trooper #4: Unhurt
Trooper #5: Unhurt
Trooper #6: Unhurt

Niil split his shots because the first trooper actually went down, but he's getting back up.

[Trax]

His vision finally clearing and the pain easing enough that he could ignore it, Trax raised his blaster and gave the troopers something new to worry about.  Being careful not to hit Jex he pulled the trigger three times, sending a trio of blaster bolts into the melee.

[OOC: Three shots at three different troopers, focusing on the uninjured ones first if he can get clear shots on any/all of them.

Craig, are you keeping track of my ammo?  By my count I'll have 9 rounds left in this pistol after this round of shots.  Both pistols are modified and you ruled that the damage upgrades dropped me from 25 rounds per clip to 20.]

[Niil Spaar]

OOC:  Umm, I think it was Trax that got stunned . . . 

Seeing that Trax and Jex levelled their weapons and murderous glares at the troopers that were still healthy, Niil said,   "Collan, aim for the wounded ones."  Focusing on the troopers he'd already shot, he sent another pair of blaster bolts at them.

OOC:  One shot at each wounded trooper.

[Jex]

Jex turns his blade against the trooper with the bayonette and begins aggressively pressing the attack.

[OOC - 2 attacks this round. If the guy goes down move on to the next nearest trooper. So am I stunned or not?]

[GM Craig]

[OOC: Full post later, but stunned means no actions for the rest of the round, and -1D on actions for the next round.]

[Collan]

[ooc: totally forgot to post here]

Collan took a shot at the closest trooper.

[GM Craig]

Blaster bolts continue to fly, but trooper armour provides some good protection. The two wounded troopers are down, but the remaining three are still standing and flinging back blaster fire.

It's then that you see, through the smoke, a droid turn the corner, behind the Imperials. It levels something that appears to be some sort of twelve-barrelled blaster auto-cannon towards you down the corridor. The cluster of barrels start spinning as the cannon warms up, preparing to fire.

The Imperials seem oblivious to the presence of the droid, and are right in the line of fire with you.

[Actions?]

[Niil Spaar]

Niil  turned pale when he saw the walking armory round the corner, and level the bundle of blaster barrels into firing position.

"Oh, shit on me," he whispered in an almost reverent horror, then yelled, "DROP!  TAKE COVER!"


OOC:  How far away are we from backing out of this corridor?

[GM Craig]

[OOC: Even Jex, who is farthest in, can make it in a single move.]

[Jex]

[OOC - 3 questions then. Is this a new round, and if so is Jex un-stunned? How far is the new droid?]

[Trax]

Damn it, another one...bloody imps and their droids.  At least the droid would have to shoot through the troopers.  Doing his best to keep the troopers directly between the droid and himself he took a pair of shots at one of the troopers.

[GM Craig]

[OOC - 3 questions then. Is this a new round, and if so is Jex un-stunned? How far is the new droid?]

[OOC: Jex is un-stunned. The new droid is 30m away. You'd have to mvoe all out to get there over difficult terrain and be unable to take actions when you get there.]

[Jex]

[OOC - what about 20m and throw a grenade? Doable?]

[GM Craig]

[OOC: Possible. Difficult but possible. But tactically, you'd be better taking cover on either side of the door and forcing the droid to close to get shots at you.]

[Collan]

Collan paled...oh hell...

He immediately went for cover and readied a shot.
