The Baron's remaining men are able to zero in on their targets in the forest and eventually the weight of fire finds its mark as Tomin and the shrubbery around her is blasted apart!

[GM Nicha]

Wired Earp at Sirina, medium range. Sirina has cover

Net Successes: 3; Net Advantages: 1

---------

The deadly droid turns his fire on Sirina, his twin pistols firing a deadly fusillade at the Pantoran. Despite his expressionless face the droid was clearly enjoying himself.

[Sirina Kichi]

Sirina snarls a curse as she's raked by Wired Earp's blaster fire. Taking a hand off her rifle, she slips a stim from her bandolier and jabs it into herself before returning fire on Earp, the barrage causing a shot to ring off the droid's metallic head.

[Tomin]

Tomin doesn't have time to move as the bushes are blown apart around her, hissing as she pivots around the nearby tree too late to avoid taking some hits. Nothing a little adrenaline and painkillers can't fix, right?

Seeing Sirini nearly knock the droid's head off, she leans out around the tree and tries to take it the rest of the way off...like aiming at tin cans on the fence back on the ranch, right?

Even as the shot finds its mark, she's focusing past the damaged machinery to the vessel.

Net Successes: -3; Net Advantages: 4
-----------

Wired Earp takes one hit, staggers on, still firing rapidly before and then goes down sparking and spluttering into the water until its form is completely submerged.

The Baron courses and manages to prop himself up on one knee to fire back at Tomin, but the heavy rifle misses her by a wide margin. "Idiots! What are you doing? Shoot Them!"

[GM Nicha]

The retinue shoots at Sirina and hits her for 10 damage. Turning the 5 threat into strain which is damage.

Retinue at Sirina, long range, cover.

Net Successes: 3; Net Advantages: -5

---------
Urged on by their boss the last two minions focus and fire at Sirina, landing some good hits! But in the crossfire one of them slips and knocks themselves out on a slimy rock!
-----------

In the distance Holliday's tendrils seem to have attached to the vessel and are pulsing with energy.

[Sirina Kichi]

Sirina isn't looking too hot as she's sprayed by the drags of the Baron's retinue. Nevertheless, she keeps herself focused and returns fire before digging further into her position and jabbing herself once more with another stim.

[Tomin]

"Hey, Doc drops that nasty thing and moves away from the deer, we can talk instead of shooting, you know?!"

Course she wasn't going to stop shooting with that thing attached to the vessel, and the Baron still able to get another shot off. This one goes right to the already injured leg as if the Force itself was guiding the shot.

[GM Nicha]

Their combined fire finishes off the retinue while Baron Coburg's other leg is shot out from under him and he slumps forward unmoving into the water.

But Tomin's call to Holiday is met with only rising maniacal laughter!

Clearly, they weren't quite done yet!

((folks can move up to medium range to Holiday and have two free maneuvers each to spend as they wish))

[Tomin]

Tomin slip-scrambles down the hill toward the crazy doctor and whatever he was doing to the vessel, rifle remaining pointed in his direction until she skids to a stop by a sturdy tree, leans against it and aims for the thin tendril things. Detaching those from the vessel as soon as possible could only help, right?

[Sirina Kichi]

15 damage, no pierce

[GM Nicha]

Holiday's roar of pain is amplified and deepened by his mask as the tendrils are blown apart into twisted metal. The vessel collapses into the water panting weakly as the cyber doc turns to glare at you both with an absolutely murderous expression.

And then he steps out of his support chair. The Doc's physique has swollen to superhuman proportions, his body rippling with unnatural muscle as he starts to stalk towards you, his chair held in one clawed hand as a weapon.

"What's the matter? You look as though someone just stepped over your graves."

[Sirina Kichi]

"Really would have thought you'd give up once we killed a half dozen of your friends and cut off your bankroll. Fine, we'll take you to." Sirina says, peeking out of cover and readying her rifle.

Net Successes: -2; Net Advantages: 0

--------

The Doc is on them fast, charging across the pools before either Sirina or Tomin can raise their guns. He goes for the Jedi first, but his strike is wide as Tomin dives aside!

[Tomin]

Tomin backpedals, gun lifting. "What the frack! You thought you could drain the forest?!" Her tone is filled with disgust as much as surprise, neither of which alter her aim as the rifle blazes once more.

-------
Enraged Holiday goes for another swing but his weapon is blasted out of his hand. As the two of you pour on the fire bright white light begins to shine from his many wounds! Another charge at Sirina...but another miss. Maybe having a muscley body didn't automatically make you good at chair fighting. But he did manage to knock Sirina down!
