STAR WARS: DAWN OF DEFIANCE

Game Master Kip84

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Assuming that's enough to hear the sound of blaster fire.

Upon hearing the sound of blasters begin firing outside, Kalus further lines up his blaster on the comms officer. "Don't think that means anyone's coming to rescue you. Final question that determines whether or not I shoot you: where are the control's for the base's reactor?"

Three swift actions to move +1 step up the condition track.

"Be a good boy and answer the nice man." Taril suggests, before going to the door and taking a peek to see what's going on outside.

Once there, if she's able to, she'll shoot at the troopers...

Attack, PointBlank: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 4d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 6) + 1 + 1 = 16

Yep, Avizzi, Kalus and Taril heard the blaster fire coming from outside the Comms centre.

Nomi fires into the side of one of the troopers as they turn, the red energy washing over the white plastoid armour. The trooper jerks but doesn't fall.

Inside the Comms centre Kalus shoots off a final question to the Comms officer as he readies himself for another shootout.

" They're in the command area, in Processing. " the man responds pointing to the left. Indicating the next room.

Taril hits the door controls, peaking out and firing on the stormtroopers outside. The bolt flies between the two men, hitting the wall beside the Medbay doors.

Avizzi glances toward the door at the sound of blaster fire, but it takes him a moment to react. When he does move, it's to quickly holster his stun baton and draw his slugthrower, preparing for a fight. That's two move actions, so there's my turn.

Caught in a crossfire the two Stormtroopers drop prone, one facing Nomi, the other (red) facing Taril.

Red v Taril: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Miss
3d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) = 16
Green v Nomi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Miss
3d8 ⇒ (7, 6, 7) = 20

From the corner to the south past the Medbay come hurried footsteps.

Russel moves up to the doors of the Medbay and fires at the stormtroopers. The bolt flashes over their prone forms.

Russel v Red: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

blaster pistol v red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) = 14

"Thank you. You've been most helpful. Now, I said I wouldn't shoot you, and I won't, but since apparently some of your Imperial compatriots are out there, I can't leave you at our backs to sound an alarm or attack us from behind while we deal with them, so I am going to stun you. Please don't take it personally."

Flicking his blaster over to stun, he shoots a stun blast into the comms officer.

Should I roll to hit and damage, or should we have it just happen?

While Kalus deals with the comms officer--in what Avizzi considers an appropriately efficient manner--the togruta moves into the hall, stepping past Taril to stand directly over one of the prone stormtroopers and put a hunk of metal through their head. Not sure whether this should gain the +5 bonus for melee prone, or take the -5 for ranged prone, but I'll just roll normally.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
Damage: 3d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 6) + 1 + 1 = 15

I'm cool with cinematic for this Kalus, he's at your mercy...

Nomi fires again, her blaster bolt flying over the Stormtrooper's heads.

Kalus flicks his blaster to stun, the Comms Officer winces as the trigger is pulled. Blue rings of energy wash over him and he slumps against the central Comms array, sliding down to a sitting position.

Taril slides back into cover as the trooper shoots up the wall, she the rolls out of cover, coming up on one knee and shooting....

Attack,point blank, zero range, Force Point: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 1 + (5) = 15

I posted right before you did, just posting again in case you missed it, since I know that's happened to me.

Sorry! I didn't miss your post (You posted while I was composing/previewing mine so that's why I didn't cover your actions in my post but I spotted it straight away, just didn't have time to update again.) I was thinking over the Prone rules last night and then had a super busy day at work today.

For the prone rules, I've decided to give the +5 bonus in this instance. Thinking it through, It certainly doesn't make sense to give you the -5 penalty and I can't think of any particular reason why shooting someone who was lying down in front of you would be harder than hitting someone with a club...

I'll add it in as a house rule on the campaign info page.

Taril, neatly rolls out of the Comms centre door, coming up onto one knee and firing directly into the Stormtrooper's head.

Avizzi steps out past her, standing directly over the other trooper and fires hot metal through the side of his helmet as he fires at Nomi...

Coming from the south, a stormtrooper dashes out a hallway and takes cover behind the turbolifts. Two move actions

Another Imperial soldier wearing a dark gray uniform and a jet-black helmet with a closed faceplate takes cover in the hallway. He carries a large blast cannon which he levels in Nomi's direction.

Imp Gunner v Nomi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
3d8 ⇒ (8, 5, 6) = 19

Nomi manages to duck and flatten herself against the wall as a massive ball of energy roars past.

Russel Ducks his head out of the Medbay door and fires at the stormtrooper.

Russel v Trooper: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
3d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1, 5) + 2 = 13

The bolt glances off the turbolifts wall as the trooper ducks back behind them.

With the comms officer stunned, Kalus finally takes the time to wince from the pain of the blaster wound in his arm and mutter a curse before moving out of the comm center to the corner and cautiously surveying the turbo lift lobby, asking Taril and Avizzi, "Situation report?"

Double move to get out of the comm center and to a corner where I have at least marginal cover.

blaster pistol v red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4) = 10 Pew pew!

Avizzi looks up from his smoking pistol to glance at Kalus. "More prey's shown up. Hunt's still on, we're dealing with them." With that, he moves to cover closer to the new enemies, preparing to move in and fire.

Moved and "fighting defensively" without attacking, adding +5 to my Reflex defense until next turn.

Pew?

Sorry guys, Busy week. I shall update tomorrow : /

Nomi fires at the Imperial Gunner in the dark uniform, blater bolts burning holes in the duracrete wall as he ducks back behind the corner.

With the Comms officer stunned Kalus moves into the hallway and asks for a situation report.

Taril darts to the other end of the turbo lifts and glances down the hallway where the giant blast of energy came from. Double Move

Avizzi fills Kalus in in the situation, cautiously stalking forwards to the turbo lift cluster.

A stormtrooper appears at the end of the hall, taking cover on the other side of the turbolifts and fires a bolt from his carbine at Kalus

Storm blue v Kalus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Miss
3d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) = 8

The Imperial Gunner Swings his blast cannon towards Taril

Gunner v Taril: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Miss
3d8 ⇒ (7, 4, 5) = 16

The ball of energy smashes into the durasteel turbolifts wall, melting and blackening it, energy washes past Taril from the blast.

Russel ducks out of the doorway and fires down the hall at the gunner. The bolt burns another hole in the duracrete wall.

Russel v Gunner: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Miss

Avizzi quickly darts along the side of his cover, coming to the far corner in a breath. He steps out from behind it, fires once with his pistol, and then ducks back into cover.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21
Damage: 3d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 1 + 1 = 13

Taril mirrors Avizzi, taking a knee and leaning around the Togruta, firing at the imperial gunner...

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
Damage: 4d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 2) + 1 + 1 = 11

Sorry, I forgot to move people on the map after my last post.

Avizzi dashes down the hall, ducking around he fires his slugthrower. The slug plunges through the stormtrooper's neck and he falls to the floor, blood pumping from the wound as his helmet rolls across the shiny grey floor.

Taril follows Avizzi, taking a knee and leaning around the Togruta, she fires at the Imperial Gunner, scoring a hit to his chest. The barrel of his cannon dips to the ground as he stumbles against the wall and then rights himself.

Kalus and Nomi still to act

Imperial Facility Combat Map

Kalus searches the downed stormtroopers near him, looking for something he could use against this gunner - like a grenade.

Kalus kneels down and empties the capsules on a Stormtrooper's utility belt, finding what he's looking for, a grenade.

blaster pistol v red (aim): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) = 13

THEAT!

confirm?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 additional damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) = 7

Nomi takes careful aim and squeezes off one considered shot. Pew.

Nice shot Nomi.
Crits do not need to be confirmed in Saga ed. A Nat 20 is always a crit.

With careful aim Nomi sends a blaster bolt into the gunner's chest, it spins him from his feat and he lies still on the floor.

Avizzi and Taril hear the clank of droid appendages through the door next to them, though after a moment the door remains closed.

Everyone can level up to level 3 now.
If you're looking for more healing, there is a medical droid in the Medbay and the stimulants that Nomi and Russel found in the Medbay allow a character to have another use of first aid per day, per stimulant used. The trade off is a -1 persistent step on the condition track per stimulant used, until you rest for 8 hours.

Can the med droid treat my injury without the stimulant?

"Someone grab that blaster cannon. It may come in handy," Kalus said, before looking at Nomi and asking, "Did you find anything in the med bay that could help with this?" He indicates the injured arm.

Yes, if you took ten minutes it could perform surgery on you. As it has the surgical expertise feat

Loot spoiler added to my post above

Avizzi begins picking over the bodies, and while he doesn't care about most of what he finds, he does take the explosive charges from the gunner. "Set traps, create passageways, deal with large prey," he comments. "Should take the medpacs, too. Leave the weapons for now, grab them on our way out."

"Let's grab any other explosives and that 2-1B droid, just in case we end up not being able to come back this way. I'm gonna grab the lieutenant's code cylinder. May come in handy."

Kalus runs back to the lieutenant and grabs his code cylinder and comlink. Turning the comlink on, he listens for any chatter.

Avizzi grabs the Explosive Charges and some Medpacs too.

Russel nods at Kalus's suggestion and heads into the Medbay to power up the droid.

Kalus heads back into the Comms Centre and grabs a code cylinder from the lieutenant and his comlink. Switching the comlink on he listens for any chatter. The signal is weak and very staticky but he catches something.

"...essage received, will re... ... ...relay stations... ...en head in to assi... ... ...old your position."

The Comms tower is still dark.

Returning to the others, Kalus says, "Heads up, we might have company coming from those ships in orbit. The cells are past the Processing area. I suggest we head that way to retrieve our package. We can also take out the primary security footage. We hit the backups in the Comm center. Everyone ready?"

He takes up a position to the side of the door with the control pad, ready to hit the open button.

If it's locked, he'll plug the code cylinder in to unlock it.

All leveled up...

Taril joins the others, snatching up medpacs. She then studies the fallen officer, if he's bigger than her and the uniform isn't too damaged she'll quickly take it and put it in her pack.

Looking up, she says, "Might come in handy sometime"

That done, she'll join Kalus at the door to processing.

Taril strips the uniform off the lieutenant and stuffs it into her pack before joining Kalus and the others at the door to Processing.

Finding the door locked Kalus presses the code cylinder into the terminal as everyone gets ready for action.

The terminal gives a soft beep, and the doors slide back into the walls. " Now! " orders a human voice.

Two tall, angular droids with thin bodies and long, spindly arms charge the doors as they open. The tips of their hands spark with blue energy as they attack Kalus and Taril.

Pink v Taril: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Hit
Stun Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9
Taril takes 4 damage

Russel reacts first, firing at one of the Droids.
Russel v Orange: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Hit
3d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) + 2 = 10

Russel shoots the droid in its thin body, the bolt burning through the Droids armour.

The activated medical droid hovers behind the party, ready to take orders.

Taril, Avizzi and Nomi are up

Avizzi reacts to the sudden charge by raising his ion pistol, aiming it at the droid Russel didn't shoot, and pulling the trigger.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
Damage: 3d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) + 1 + 1 = 16 and ion, too

The droid dodges to the side, the ion energy brushing its armour as it flashes past. Miss

Taril and Nomi are up

"Get behind me!"

lightsaber v orange: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 8) + 2 = 11

Nomi steps into melee and swings a little hastily at one of the droids. The Warden droid ducks to the left barely managing to avoid the lightsaber. Nomi adjusts into a defensive stance, lightsaber ready.

Taril is up

Taril hisses as the electrical shocks travel up and down her body.

"That hurt..." she comments drily to the droid, before pointing her blaster at it and firing...

Attack, PB, ZR: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 5d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 3, 4) + 1 + 1 = 18

Taril levels her blaster at the Droids head, firing a blaster bolt that burns through the metal plating, ripping through the droid's processor. It starts flailing wildly, body twitching.

Furthur into the room the Detention Block guards take aim and fire their pistols, trying to shoot past the droids at the party.

Both take two swift actions to aim, to ignore cover.

Red v Nomi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Blue v Kalus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Nomi easily bats aside the red bolt that comes her way and Kalus manages to duck as laser flashes past his shoulder.

Backing away from what is hopefully the Warden Droids reach, Kalus thinks to himself, I am burning through way too much luck right now.. Pointing his blaster, he fires at the warden droid that attacked him.

Move action: 1.5 m step back.
Blaster Attack, Point Blank Shot vs Orange, Force Point: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + (3) = 14

Kalus steps back, out of the reach of the droid's sparking hands. Snapping a blaster bolt into the centre of the droid's head.

The droid's head snaps back and it's body follows clanging to the floor.

The remaining droid attacks Nomi, swinging its sparking claws at her.

Stun claws w/ Rapid strike
Pink v Nomi : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Stun Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 1 = 8
Nomi takes 4 damage

The droid manages to get a claw in between Nomi's guard, a jolt of energy surges through her body.

Russel takes aim, holding his pistol in both hands, and fires at the remaining Droid.

2 swift actions to aim (ignore cover), Precise Shot
Russel v Pink : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Energy Damage: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 3) + 2 = 12

His bolt melts through the droid's neck joint, it's head topples to the floor, its body crashing forward at Nomi's feet.

I a small break in the constant stream of blaster bolts, Taril takes a peek, a smile breaking across her face as she sees the remains of the droids on the ground.

Spying one of the guards hiding infront of her, she quickly slides into the room and gracefully rolls into a postition where she can shoot him...

Blaster, PB, ZR: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13
Damage: 5d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 4, 6) + 1 + 1 = 21

Taril comes out of her graceful roll, firing her pistol at the guard, but anticipating the shot he's already throwing himself to the side and the blaster bolt flies past him slamming into the wall.

Avizzi and Nomi are up.

Avizzi moves into the room alongside Taril, but without the flair of a roll--he simply charges in and fires his pistol into the other guard.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 26
Damage: 3d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 6) + 1 + 1 = 15

Nominated moves up next to the other imperial and shouts "Drop the weapon and surrender!"

Can't actually move on my phone but she ends up in the square to the west of the imp.

Avizzi rushes into the room charging up to the other guard and sending a hot slug ripping through the man's chest. dead

Nomi races up beside Taril and demands the last guards surrender.

The Guard glares at Nomi, the harsh light of Nomi's lightsaber across his face. He tosses his blaster down with a clatter and places his hands on his head.

The sound of prisoners bagging on the doors and muffled yelling fills the sudden silence in the wake of the short gun fight.

Imperial Prison Facility Map

Exhaling as the final guard surrenders, Kalus looks at the 2-1B droid and says, "Could you hit me with whatever healing you can quick?"

Kalus would like to be given a stimpack so he can receive First Aid and get some HP back.

Avizzi clicks his tongue as the final guard surrenders, and slowly holsters his ion pistol. "What do we do with this one, then?" He cocks his head and looks at the guard with a predatory glare. "He unlocks the doors, of course. Gets us our prisoners without any trouble. Maybe then we tie him up and leave him alive?" The togruta's tone of voice clearly indicates this isn't his preferred course of action.

" Certainly sir. " the droid says as it steps over to Kalus.it pulls a stim injector and a medpac out of it's medical kit and sets to work. Spreading Bacta salves and synth skin over his wounds.

Treat Injury: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Kalus gets 18 hit points back, and moves -1 persistent step down the condition track.

The guard slides his glare towards Avizzi, but he complies, moving over to the command area he punches in his access code and begins entering a command into the system to open the door.

Anyone who follows the guard into the command area can roll Perception.

Kalus grunts as he feels the stimpack take effect, sweeping through his body and pumping the chemicals through his blood. His breathing gets slightly quicker, and his pupils dilate ever so slightly.

He also notes the slight twitch it gives his hands, knowing the cost he just paid for the droid to apply a bacta treatment to his wounds.

Once he's patched up, he'll walk into the Processing center, asking, "He have that door open yet?"
