Its what im here for life saving :) It's not even some sort of healing grenade and there you are, life saving. :)
Jer, that smoke grenade may just save my life at this point. :)
Dramatic heroics may be better left to the strike group's legendary command staff, at least in Manji's mind. It goes very quickly through his mind as he, cursing, nearly gets tagged by a blaster bolt. While he is arguably immeasurably better off than three minutes ago, being namely armed, free, and armed, the necessities of grabbing the gun means he's more or less surrounded by stormtroopers. Which puts me in the same nightmare as a thousand worlds, he was forced to admit. That AT-ST is certainly going to get in gear, and rocks, or hand blasters, won't do much good against it - Manji moves towards Nara, waving a little and the smoke cloud Jer just dropped for cover to work on his commlink - snapping a shot off the uninjured THC 24. It's sort of hasty and stumbling - the adrenaline from nearly getting tagged is getting to his nerves, training or no.
Of course he did, why, for Han to not shoot first removes any tension from his meeting with our Hero, Luke, about his potential for being a traitor and turning them in from the reward, as well as damaging his character arc from rogue-in-for-himself to hero, general, and lover of princesses. And I'm going to go have a good cry now. :p
Manji follows up on his lucky strike with a determined stride around the troopers - in the distance he can hear more Ewok battle cries and shouts - apparently the reinforcements are still being kept busy, so he can get a little fancy - he slashes at the stormtrooper's webbing with a knife to 'appropriate' his sidearm while continuing his motion to grab the stormtrooper, hopefully, around the upper chest as a shield
The screech of Ewok battlecries is in the background - Manji can't really hear, or doesn't quite hear, the injured stormtrooper's cries in the situation. The Force appears to be with him, the blow almost deflecting into the throat like that. The natives seem to have knifes and clubs handled - what can I modernize really quickly with?
No worries - hope you were able to catch some of the eclipse.
that's the New Republic's bad, we have to win first before evil can resurge. Aw, thanks - it's probably good the energy field that binds us doesn't actually exist, I'd rules lawyer myself right to the Dark Side.
Okay, that's the New Republic's bad, we have to win first before evil can resurge. :P
Even if we all got vaporized next round. I hope the Rebel Fleet doesn't get vaporized next round.
After his tour of duty at Endor, Lieutenant Colonel Hux would most likely join The Emperor's personal High Command Staff. Man, if it wasn't for the fleet spiraling into a trap with the Rebel High Command aboard, even if all just got vaporized next round I think this counts as a net win for the Rebellion. Good shooting!
Manji's knife slips through standard techniques and seeks to remove the life of the poor fool who still believed in the New Order. Nearby, a not-armored enough officer burns. If doing well enough, he's going to try and move around the slumping body
Congratulations!
No problem, sorry on the long travel.
Manji starts to shift a little so he can jump towards the Scout Walker's legs as Commander Skywalker's droids make some noise - those big guns were definitely keeping the odds in the Imperial's favor as long as they were focused on himself and Nara. When the indigs seem to grow out of the ground all around the bunker, suddenly everyone's a lot less interested in Rebel scum. Well, human Rebel scum. Solo's Wookie confederate seems to still have their interest to some degree, though it's a rapidly decreasing crowd This is an excellent time for a lesson in priorities, Manji pulls his knife as a scout trooper goes flying into another stormtrooper, courtesy of Chewbacca Air, nearby. We can clear these and then get the picket team on their feet. Also: see if we can send these little guys some fusion reactors or something Charge! he shouts, but is probably not heard as blasterfire starts to echo, as he lunges at the stormtrooper closer to the AT-ST, wanting to get a gun before that monster wakes up.
Just as it may become relevant - would it be brawling for trying to shove past a stormtrooper?
Sweet roll Jer! Let the havoc lie where it may.
So they got half of us Nexi - and everyone else is still on overwatch, I hope. Maybe that Ubese is as good as he says and he can snipe a walker. Hate it when I get caught up in the fireworks. Who could have leaked the timetable so well? I don't see Commander Skywalker Manji shudders a little there, but mainly with his head, keeping his hands up. He's seen an Imperial interrogation, and what was left afterward. If it looks like it's coming to that, then maybe it's time for the detonite. I'm no quick-draw, they're not gunning us down yet, so let's wait for them to slack. At least a little. Let the Corellian see if it's worth a dice-throw first. Coruscanti can wait for the trends to change.
Manji briefly regrets detonite - the party favor that ends it with a bang - is so remarkably stable and easy to carry - it's not like he can throw it like a grenade...
Manji tries to glance significantly at Nara and General Solo - seeing if anyone has any cues for some some sort of prepared distraction.
I'll try not to be too erratic today - were you waiting on any rolls from me?
Treskan, don't think of it as the die roller hating you, think of it saving up for that one spectacular roll that saves the campaign. :) (Or so I keep telling myself on bad streaks)
Manji flinches a bit but keeps his hands up as the business end of the blasters herd him towards the bunker doors. He looks around for who's been gathered up - the guards probably are still too focused to be able to try any counterattack.
Manji puts his hands in the air, but slowly, no sudden movements. They didn't shoot right away, so best not to encourage them in that direction if anyone's trigger finger is itchy. Still, he'd worked on last words. This seemed the right time "It's going to be futile, in the end. Tyrants don't last forever." He rolls his eyes, though, as his commlink gives the late warning. Hopefully some people heard it in time.
This was the big one - and for once, it seemed the Force was on their side. They'd convinced the locals of the Rebellion - everything'd gone smooth with the Solo - and they'd have ringside seats to a Death Star blowing up - Manji had been no where near the first one. It was almost like being outside yourself looking in, that hideous clarity of setting something really big to blow, and that same clarity had Manji looking for a big support column to hide behind as suddenly the bunker seemed to pour full of Imperial white.
I'm okay with the last die in sequence being wild - it does help the clutter.
Baronsquee's setup is certainly simpler. I have no issue with it - easier to type out, certainly.
Would you want us for wild die to do two roll sections?
EDIT: And I guess this example I'd be rolling more from here, kind of burnt my luck on an example. Which would give an 18 in this case.
Plus, a 1D 'Starfighter Piloting: Y-Wing' is a really small cost to you (1/3 of a D) and allows you to still have that background to include in your character's development. That's a good point on specialization's virtues in a build.
Freehold - maybe load up on repulsorlift operation or swoop bike skills? That's also piloting and showcases their chops closer to the ground.
Personal quote: 'Yes, we could blast our way in there, but I think I can get them to invite us, instead.' Oh, that's a really good one. - just double-checking the alias |
