[Apollo]

"Hey tough guy! Pretty sure the little fuzzy one doesn't want you around him." Apollo lowered his other blaster, focusing his shot with just the Lancer. Instead of a volley of fire, this one was more well-placed focused bolts.

"Stop following me!" Rece shoots Brother No-Shield in the other leg.

"Hey tough guy! Pretty sure the little fuzzy one doesn't want you around him."

"....No."

The Huge Knight simply pushes through the fire, although several hits penetrate his lightsaber defences and land telling hits. Not to mention he's only operatig with at most one leg. But none of it seems to phase him as he swings his blade two handed at Rece!

Othym strikes down Sister Mind!

The disorientated Mandalorian is no match for a Jedi with years more experience, street smarts and expertise in unorthodox fighting. His feints work until she leaves herself open for a single precise stab, Sister Mind falls without a sound.

[Rece Charak]

Rece looks down at the glowing gash across his chestplate. That's... that's a lot of damage. Foamcast can fix that, right?

[Vala Roke]

"It's not too late to run!" Vala said before she fired a barrage of shots that would admittedly make it hard to run. That said, it seemed she was more effective in laying the cover fire which might have seemed like she fired a dozen or so warning shots than trying to hit him. Her shots would give some opportunity for others, as well as knocking the weapon from Brother Shield. While she didn't hit, maybe she made her message clear.

Player's note: Sister Knife and Sister Mind are down. Brother Shield is badly injured, but he's also getting slightly angry at this point and will be able able to use two initiative slots a round until he is defeated.

That being said he currently has no shield or lightsaber.

[Rece Charak]

Rece glances from his wound down to the lightsaber lying in the snow, then back up to look Brother No-Shield dead in the eye. He sees the words begin to form on the knight's lips: "Don't-"

And then he snatches the lightsaber, shoves it in his pocket, and scrambles out of reach again.

This time his covering fire hits the knight square in the chest, putting him down for good.

[GM Nicha]

Weaponless, Shieldless, Sisterless, Brother Shield falls.


The glade is once agains quiet and serene, despite the destruction wrecked within it. Your opposition was tough...but not tough enough! The Hopers are able to continue advancing on the temple.

Victory

[Apollo]

As the last Mandalorian fell, Apollo twirled his guns. "Woo! Victory!" With a flourish, the pair of blasters was stowed away.

"Oh, right... little buddy, you alright there?" He moved over to Rece, taking out a stim. The Chadra-fan had been hit pretty hard. "Got some of the good stuff here for ya. Totally legal, I promise."

[Othym]

Othym stares at the bodies of the 3 mandalorians. Or were tehy jedi? At first he'd assumed they had just taken lightsabers, but they had welded the force as well. He shook his head, these were thoughts for when they were safe and this was over.
"good shooting everyone, that could have gone much worse" he said, looking mostly at Rece. And pointedly ignoring the lightsaber in his pocket.

[Vala Roke]

Vala sat down on the ground to take a breather after that eventful fight. She supposed it was just a matter of seconds to resolve that disagreement, but it was too close for comfort with close-range weapons that lit up involved. Usually, she'd like to wait for backup before tackling something like that. Well, she supposed they were the backup.

She put her blasters away and sighed. "All of my limbs are attached, so I consider that a win. Could someone explain to me when Mandalorians got into the business of using weapons like that? I thought they were supposed to be the shooty sort."

[Apollo]

"Yeah, that's a good question! Those weapons seemed to be lightsabers... and she threw a tree at me!" The Zeltron's ditzy mind was easily pulled into Vala's train of thought, which of course circled back to himself.

[Rece Charak]

Rece graciously accepts the stimpack from Apollo. Between the captain's disarming smile and his own extreme pain, he doesn't question the use of the phrase "little buddy" or why a stimpack would be illegal.

"All our limbs and no frostbite. I've had worse." He grabs a handful of snow and rubs it on his armor until the gash stops glowing. "Yeah, they've got a bunch of these guys. Fought one of 'em when they boarded the Dawn. I think the 7th is looking into where they're coming from."

He shrugs. "Not like it's the first time some cult joined the Mandos. Seems like y'all ain't got a monopoly on the Force any more than the Republic does on violence."
