Bringing The Party To You (Open - 4 players, high-risk combat)

[Tomin]

Tomin jerks back much too late and feels the heat of blood countering the chill wind for just a second before that wind knifed into the open wound. Palming a stim, she shoves it right into the gash to slow the bleeding asap as she dives past the hovering warrior to roll and brace herself to send off a retaliatory shot with a pained hiss as even lifting her familiar rifle reminds her of exactly what the carved open muscles do.

Snowflake's opponent sees an opening with his opponent de-shielded and managed to twist and whirl his axe before bringing it down on the Gigorian's shoulder!

[GM Nicha]

Hapunn fires at Vala, hits and activates villain autofire to also hit Snowflake. Each take 10 damage pierce 3.

Triumph spent to bring his Basilisk back around!

Wing Commander 1 on Snowflake, boost passed on and aim. Re-roll since Snowflake is shieldless.

Net Successes: 2; Net Advantages: 3

---------

Hapunn curses as Tomin's near perfect shot spoils his Basilisk's dive. The droid soars past the shuttle, so close its wake rocks the whole ship. The Mandalorian promptly pulls out a heavily modified pistol and sprays towards our heroes, the Basilisk coming around for another try!

---------

Player's note: The Basilisk will hit on Hapunn's turn unless disrupted with a medium range two setback called shot.

[Snowflake]

Hapunn's shots and the wing commander's axe now do bite into the Gigoran's thick hide and fur, the pristine white-blueish now blotted with red. The outsized humanoid clenches their blocky jaws, letting out a growl that pierces throught the howling wind and throws a thunderous punch that hits the wing commander's face squarely.

"GET OUT! NOT YOUR SHIP!", the Gigoran roars as he manoeuvres around to get his shield back in place.

If she can feel the force around even with all the pain, blood, noise and confusion around, Tomin will notice the anger there is clearly mixed with discomfort.

The Gigoran might be a bit afraid after all...

[Vala Roke]

Vala hissed in pain when she was shot with stray fire from Hapuun. "Argghh! Somebody do something about that!" She called out, indicating the Mandalorian.

That said, she could just fire back but she found herself feeling a bit out-classed around here. The first order of business was to probably thin out the crowd to make housekeeping a bit easier. When Vala tried to line up her shots, it seems that the turbulence go the better of her and her shots veered off higher than she would like. "...I'll get them next time!"

Player note: Mandalorian Crusader Squad B is wiped out and Wing Commander 2 are wiped out. Wing Commander 1 is attacking Snowflake and is badly injured and disarmed. Crusader Squad A are down to one man. Hapunn is vibing.

[GM Nicha]

Crusader Squad shoots at Tomin but misses, passes boost on to next NPC!

Crusader Squad at Tomin

Net Successes: -2; Net Advantages: 1

--------

A couple blaster bolts impact around Tomin on the wing as the lone Crusader tries to down her! Clearly they aren't so accurate on their own.

[Tomin]

After another stim application, Tomin's feeling almost no pain, though trying to stick to the wing of a moving shuttle while badly injured is obviously taking it's toll, no matter what the drugs say.

Hearing the Gigoran's roar and spotting the ripples in the force more than the blood spotting his fur, Tomin shouts over, with as much encouragement as she can manage while lining up the next shot, "Doin' OK Snowy? Knock him into the next cloud! Just like a proper snowbank scuffle!"

She sends the besalisk circling once more, bracing for the angry shots that are undoubtedly going to follow from its controller.

Wing Commander moves back to short range from Snowflake and blasts him with his pistol for 11 damage no pierce.

Wing commander 1 on Snowflake with his pistol. Spending Gm destiny.

Net Successes: 3; Net Advantages: -1

The commander's axe spins away as he uses it to shield himself from Vala's fire. He quickly activates his jetpack and flies back out of the line of fire, covering himself with a volley of shots into Snowflake!

[Sirina Kichi]

A particularly fierce patch of turbulence nearly causes Sirina to stumble as she keeps blasting towards the remaining Crusader. She's confident enough in her shots that she simply scores the Mando with some hip-fired bolts while she tops herself off with a stim.

Before she's caught out by more turbulence, Sirina finds the ends of a wound length of rope around the midsection of her armor. Using the carabiners on either end, she clips the rope to metal loop in the shuttle and to a receiver behind her waist to prevent sudden free fall or being shook up too much by the crafts movements.

Hapunn manoeuvres to short range from Snowflake and activates a triumph to trigger his autofire. Hitting Snowflake for 8 damage pierce 3, and then again for 8 damage pierce 3.

Happun auto firing at Snowflake

Net Successes: 1; Net Advantages: -1

-----------
Again the Basilisk is blasted in its sensors and some blown off droid parts and oil splatter down on the shuttle as it roars past. Hapunn seems to lose his temper as he angrily jabs at this control console before flying towards you all, firing his pistol wildly! Explosions erupt along Snowflake as the shots land!

[Snowflake]

"NO, NO! YOU COME BACK OR GO FOR GOOD!", the angry mountain bellows at the Mandalorian as he bolts off and comes at him with a strong cross, this time striking the man's stomach.

The white carpet was starting to show burns, cuts and other signs of wear. Not that its owner seemed to care...

...Much. The Gigoran did quicly take a stim and jab it on his arm.

[Vala Roke]

Oh, it looked like they manage to achieve some breathing room in this fight. However, the danger still remains, especially after that nasty beating that all of them have taken! Vala took a cue from the others as they looked to their well-being and she pulled out a stim from her pouch to quickly inject herself with something that would numb the pain. There wasn't time for any fancy shooting this time around, so she tried for an easier shot and struck Hapunn after drawing a bead on him.

Unfortunately, the ship veered to the side and it was enough to send her falling on her back without warning. "Ooof!"

Incidental: Pull out Stim

Snowflake's devastating punch knocks his opponent out cold. His helmet warped and twisted by the blow. Vala follows up with a good shot into the charging Mandalorian lieutenant, the bolt crumpling a portion of his armour.

Then just as it's 4 on 1...the Basilisk properly joins the party. The huge droid lands on the shuttle's wing with a scream of tortured metal as its claws dig in. The whole ship starts tilting dramatically to port due to the extra weight as Hapunn jets board his droid, landing comfortable in the saddle.

"This is only going to end one way. With me flying over the flaming wreckage of you, your comrades and your whole damned army!"

Player note: Hapunn now has two initiative slots, one at the start and one at the end of the round. As he is not as nimble on his Basilisk his defence abilities are now:

Adversary 3 - Defence 1.

He begins at short range to you all. His Basilisk is already reasonably damaged from Tomin repeatedly shooting it in the eyes. He is lightly damaged from Vala's shot.

[GM Nicha]

The Basilisk fires its blast weapon at Sirina but misses. Will pass 2 boost dice on to Hapunn.

Basilisk droid blast at Sirina.

Net Successes: -2; Net Advantages: 3

The Basilisk opens its maw and the lasers within begincharging, bathing all of you in a bright red light, but just as it goes to fire the shuttle banks hard and throws its aim off, the blast going high to explode in the clouds above you!

[Vala Roke]

Vala was rather wide-eyed after near-fall. It almost felt like she could have just rolled over the edge and found herself in a free fall. Her survival instincts quickly kicked in to correct that as she got back to her feet and fired a few shots at the remaining threat before her. It was a pretty sloppy shot but it still hit nevertheless. "It's not too late to surrender!"

Move: Stand Up!
Action: Shoot!

Day 6, Bringing The Party To You, Round 4: Shoot Happun. One less Setback with Custom Grip. Adversary 3 with Defense 1. 2 Setback from Event.

Strain Threshold: 12/14
Soak: 4

[Tomin]

Tomin spares a 'glance' that's nothing of the sort for her companions as the shuttle pitches and the besalisk's claws dig in. There's a *lot* of adrenaline and only about half of it is artificially administered.

So far, everyone is still on the proper side of the wing and not bled out. After a moment's consideration, Tomin raises the rifle, aiming for the creature's 'legs,' its grip and stability, shooting while moving to the side to avoid that laser in the thing's throat.

The shot does what she intended, but knocking around something that heavy doesn't help the shuttle's own stability, and Tomin stumbles to sprawl on the wing, rifle clonking beside her.

[Sirina Kichi]

Sirina returns fire at Hapunn and his Droid ride, still blazing away at full auto. Between the lilting of the shuttle and the shifting of the Droid, she's only able to land a shot on target as opposed to a volley.

[Snowflake]

Snowflake was not necessarily happy to see people flying off to their death, but given these people were trying to explode their shuttle, he was relieved to see the wing commander drop down.

But now that thing was down, the Mandalorian commander on its "shoulder" like a bird on its nest, and they had started firing on his friends again.

That wouldn't do.

"OI, OI! HERE! FOCUS ON ME YA WILD JACUNA!", he booms out as the others' shots repeatedly hit the Droid and its rider - eventually bringing unbalancing the pair, which falls to the ground.

The Gigoran is quick to leap atop them, trying to find a good position to punch Hapunn atop the bird, but ends up just punching the shuttle wing - and getting in the way of the others trying to shoot the Mandalorian.

Threat probably adds a setback to next roller? I'll leave Nicha to decide!

EDIT:
Destiny should be at 3 LIght/ 3 Dark now!

[GM Nicha]

Tomin and Sirina's heavy fire slams into the basilisk and it's clear something critical must have been hit as one of the legs gives out and it sprawls onto the plane wing. Still, it's not down yet!

((Threat spend, 1 setback to next PC roll)
