Klonsa eyes go wide with pain as he's shot in the arm. He closes his eyes for a few moments, concentrating on the living Force and willing the pain down to no more than a dull throb.
Danguard nods at Aruuna as he tightens his grip on his saber and looks over the remaining droids.

Unfortunately, Christy manages to get next to Danguard, but is still about two meters shy of the droid.
Acrobatics Roll (1d20+7+1=28)Having reached the droid, she tumbles past it with a quick movement of her feet...
And slices in a backhanded downwards arc at the droid..
Aruuna manages to deftly run across the shieldleaf plants, and just within the droids reach she gracefully spins away from it before it can track her for a shot.
Aruuna's downward arc cuts into the droid substantially, but not quite far enough to destroy its inner working and put it out of commission. The droid is damaged by still functioning.
Aruuna is just opposite of Danguard on the other side of he droid (flanking).
Klonsa eyes go wide with pain as he's shot in the arm. He closes his eyes for a few moments, concentrating on the living Force and willing the pain down to no more than a dull throb.
Klonsa takes a moment to catch his breath and the pain of his injuries abate somewhat.
The dancing electrical motes begin to build up on surfaces again, the a charge begins to build in the air.
The arc builds up and discharges near Aruuna, but its fairly easy for her to sidestep the discharge as it dissipates with the smell of burning shieldleaf in the air.
The two remaining droids take stock of the situation, and proceed in the only manner that they can. Since the lack higher processors, they proceed based on the simple instructions they were programmed with, and continue with their assault.
The far droid targets Aruuna and fires on her.
Total to hit 21.
The droid fires on the twi'lek Jedi and scorches her for 12 points of damage with his shot from the blaster he carries.
The droid that is currently surrounded by Jedi, lacking a heuristic processor, doesn't quite grasp that autofire might not be a bad idea at this point, and instead fires at Danguard.
At close range, the droid's shot goes off (natural 20 on the roll, for a total of 24 to hit), and does 14 points of damage to Danguard.
The motes begin to crawl across the surface of the area again, and another charge builds up. After a short crackling noise, a charge erupts and strikes the droid that is 30 meters from the ship (and about 16 meters from Aruuna, 20 meter from Danguard, and 22 meters from Christy).
The droid is damaged, but is not disabled by the charge.
Currently there are two droids left, both damaged. One is flanked by Danguard and Aruuna, with Christy 2 meters from it, and the other one is currently at a distance as described above.
The PCs may begin taking their turns this round.
Ceelell looks from the droid out at a distance, realizing its far enough away that the shot would be risky. But the other threat is right near his friends, and he would much rather risk just missing then risk hitting one of his friends on accident. He takes a moment to steady himself and aim, just in case of any shelter, and takes the shot.
Attack roll and damage(Ion) (1d20+0=20, 3d6=13)
Crit Damage(Ion) (3d6=12)
Danguard tries to stop the energy from harming him by holding his hand up to it. There is a brief sheen of blue corona that surrounds him and angrily diminishes as Danguard reels a scorched hand back to his side, cursing the droid as his cloths smolder from the shot.
I try to take advantage of the flanking and take a swipe at the droid...
Klonsa scans around him for a way to move closer to those up front.
Finding a suitable path he rushes towards Aruuna and Danguard to back them up. Seeing Aruuna has been shot twice he stops behind her and allows the Force to flow through him and into her soothing some of the wounds.
Groodar readies an action to return fire in case the last two droids are not finished off at the end of the round.
HK-22, seeing the Jedi are now drawing fire as they ought, takes this round to move back up the condition track, the better to make snarky comments and shoot lots of people.

Ceelell's shot hits the droid squarely and the blast shuts it down quite effectively.

At the last second, the droid almost accidentally manages to step out of the way of Dangaurd's swing, thus avoiding the Jedi's assault.
swift: perception to find a path through difficult terrain.
Roll: 1d20+2 = 21
Use the Force activation check on Vital transfer.
Roll: 24
Result: Heal Aruuna 3 HP, Dealing 1 damage to myself.
Christy manages to step lightly to Aruuna's side, avoiding the attention of the droid, and channels the healing energy of the Force through her and into Aruuna.
Far too distracted by the energy arcing around her, which produced a rather surprised and irritated little exclamation from Aruuna, she makes an easy target for the remaining droid, and takes a bolt to the chest, singing clothes and flesh. Rather annoyed at this, she lets out a scream of pain, which turns into a shout at the droid who shot her.
'Schutta spawn!'
She then tries to calm herself as the rage inside builds up, barely keeping it under wraps as she thrusts her lightsaber towards the droid she's in melee with.
As Aruuna spins back around from the droid firing on her, she manages to neatly pierce the droid she already damaged, shutting it down in a very permanent manner.
Klonsa scans around him for a way to move closer to those up front.
Finding a suitable path he rushes towards Aruuna and Danguard to back them up. Seeing Aruuna has been shot twice he stops behind her and allows the Force to flow through him and into her soothing some of the wounds.
While Klonsa cannot reach Aruuna this round, as all of the droids have fallen at this point, he can reach he immediately after Aruuna dispatches the last (opposing) droid on the field.
Klonsa focuses on the healing energies of the Force, and the natural talent for healing possessed by the Selkath takes over, flooding vitality into the Twi'lek Jedi.
Anyone trained in Knowledge (Physical Sciences), let me get a skill check from you to see what the results are (unless I'm wrong, I think that is just Ceelell and Remar).
Once we establish that check, we'll move on.
For Everyone:
Ceelell looks down over the landscape, trying to determine if there seem to be any other possible ambushes or at least any good spots to make more defensible in case there are further hostile groups on their way.
"Is everyone alright? We should probably regroup and tend to our wounded and be prepared to fend off any further incursions."
Knowledge(Life Science), Knowledge(Tactics) (1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=27)

For Ceelell:
You already knew about being able to make the perception check to determine the more solid leaves to run across.
Its a little late now, but you also picked up that the droids weren't able to process complex tactics to use against you.
As far as the Knowledge (Physical Science) goes, you can tell that the motes of electricity that were building up and randomly attacking your allies and the droids are part of an atmospheric storm that Lucen was talking about, and that the only safe place is in a large enclosed space such as the ship itself, until the storm burns itself out.
Otherwise, once per round, a random character is targeted by the built up electricity in the air. If you warn everyone now, they can get back in the ship before another discharge hits.
"Everyone, get back up to the ship quickly! We need to get inside or that electricity is just going to keep blasting us. It will be safer to move about once this storm is over. For now, let us take shelter. We probably aren't going to get assaulted while the storm is on, or if we do they will have limited numbers. But those droids didn't look smart enough to have launched themselves. There is something guiding them here. We had better find out what it is as soon as the energy levels die down."
I will help Aruuna if possible back aboard, and make we all get back inside.
After healing Aruuna, Klonsa rushes for the safety of the ship.
HK-22 will take the time to grab two of the droid's weapons and then head inside the ship.
"Statement: this droid is damaged. Repairs are required or else dangerous behavior may occur. This unit is currently 300 years out of warranty..."
Groodar will remind everyone sadly that everything we know, love, or once held dearly is probably dead now. Even his career.
Groodar directs Author to stop recording.
Groodar will then see if he can salvage any usuable parts off the droids, such as energy cells, power paks, or anything else he can concieve as usable.
He also then tries to see if a droid head is intact and remove it with a fusion torch from his tool kit. His intention is to try and tap into its processor using the ship's computer to see if he can get its last set of commands and who gave them.
Basic: "Give me an hour or so HK-22 and I will lend you repairs."
You can find some chopped up pieces that are easily transportable fairly easily.
Also, I'm going to assume Remar is back in the ship, given that he was firing from as far back on the ramp as he could.
I also would like to look over a weapon they used so I grab two that look useable as we pass by them and head back to the ship.
Groodar will drag some parts to the ship and see if he can fashion a power pak from one.
Also, if he found an intact droid head with is processor he hooks it up to the ship's computer (if it is still functioning) using his tool kit.
Use Computer skill check to Improve Access of droid processor. (1d20+12=16)
For each one of you that wants to bring something back in the ship, you can bring two small items or smaller with you as you get into the ship, or one medium sized object.
The droid's rifles are all medium. There are enough droid parts that you can pick up a droid part and count it as a small item (arm, head, foot, etc.) . . .
You can grab more than one medium item, or two small items, for each extra item you scavenge, the discharge during the storm will build up. In that case, the discharge has a chance to hit you.
Let me know if you are planning on picking up an item and what it might be, and if you are planning on risking the storm to pick up extra items before you get under cover.
Unfortunately, while the rifles have power packs that are small enough to grab two before you get under cover, it takes too long to take the power pack out of more than one of them, so it doesn't save you anything over just bringing in the one medium size weapon.
HK-22 will pick up the biggest, most likely to work rifle he can find and cradle it lovingly like his own destructive child...
I also would like to look over a weapon they used so I grab two that look useable as we pass by them and head back to the ship.
Moving quickly back in the ship, Christy can only grab one blaster rifle, unless she wants to brave the storm for an extra round.
Groodar will drag some parts to the ship and see if he can fashion a power pak from one.
Also, if he found an intact droid head with is processor he hooks it up to the ship's computer (if it is still functioning) using his tool kit.

Groodar can either grab a blaster rifle or the droid head and one other small droid part, unless he wants to take his chances with the storm for an extra round per medium item.
Coming down from the high of battle is rather easy for once, especially with the flood of force energy being put into her by Christy and Klonsa. Rather then charge back into the ship though, she pauses a moment and with deft flicks of her lightsaber, removes the legs and arms from the droid on the ground infront of her, and grabs the torso and head of the machine. Only then, accepting Danguards help, does she make her way back to the ship.
((Probably at a slower pace too.
Aruuna can pick up the torso and head of one of the droids and still get under cover.
HK-22 will pick up the biggest, most likely to work rifle he can find and cradle it lovingly like his own destructive child...
It should be fairly easy to grab your new baby and carry it home.
Moving quickly back in the ship, Christy can only grab one blaster rifle, unless she wants to brave the storm for an extra round.I also would like to look over a weapon they used so I grab two that look useable as we pass by them and head back to the ship.
Not wanting to risk his pale green skin against the storm Groodar grabs a droid head and the closest small droid part.
He looks up at the ill convenient discharge storm as his head antennae dart angrily at it while scanning.
He than scurries into the ship like a scared mouse droid.
So, as far as scavenged items go:
Aruuna has the head and torso of a droid.
HK-22 has a rifle.
Christy has a rifle.
Groodar has another droid head and a ramdom blown up droid part that happened to be nearby.
Before the storm gets any worse, the crew of the Dantooine's Hope makes it back on the ship, just as some of the static discharges begin to splay across the hull of the shuttle.
As you all gather once again in the hold, Lucen seems pleased that you have all returned.
"Did you have fun in the storm? Some of the more adventurous of my people try to race each other through the discharges, but that can be a painful game to play."
Groodar, you can begin your repairs of HK-22 if you wish. Anyone trained in mechanics can attempt to aid you if they wish to do so.
Anyone helping with repairing HK-22 is tied up for the next hour. Is there anything specific that anyone else wants to accomplish while HK-22 is being repaired?
Groodar takes out his tool kit from his well-worn backpack and goes to work on HK-22, ignoring the hacking into the droid processor for the time being.
Mechanics skill check on HK-22 (1d20+7=13)

Well . . . if four people trained in mechanics can help, its not a loss quite yet . . . but otherwise, looks like the next hour is penciled in as well . . . ;)
