After the first few seconds of the ambush, Hawke's nerves steady and he lines up his shot carefully. At just the right moment, he squeezes the trigger of his blaster, and his target reels at the effect of the precise shot. "Ha! Eat it, tin can!"
OOC
Staying put. Hawke will fire at #2 if it's still active after Kacela's Force Slam, or #4 otherwise. Attack and damage rolls (1d20+8=28, 3d6+4=9)
That's a crit; unfortunately, I rolled pitifully for damage. I know in D&D, you roll the dice twice on a crit instead of just doubling the outcome of the damage roll, but I don't see anything about that in the Saga Edition rules. If more dice need rolling, you can do that yourself or tell me and I'll roll. Either way, the droid's gonna feel it!
At the first lull in the droid's firing, Kacela runs directly into the room, southward along the impromptu line that the warbots have established. She whirls in a cartwheel that blazes with the green fire of her lightsaber, and thrusts her free hand outwards towards the war droids as she lands.
An invisible pulse of power radiates out, striking the droids like the blast wave of an intense explosion...hurling them away and knocking them over! Droids #3,#6,#7, and #9 show damage, but their shields flicker back into being.

"Yes!" Sianni quickly puts her allies' abysmal shooting out of her mind when two of the droids stepped straight into her sights. The reports of her blasters echo through the corridor as she begins to fill the air with cyan bolts, concentrating her left hand fire on the severly damaged machine while her right tracks the other war droid.

Droid #2 exploded into a heap of circuitry, while Sianni's first shot at #4 went wide. The second connected, forcing down the droids shields for an instant to do some light damage.

His modification's complete, Tomalor ducks behind Hawke. The droid strides forward menacingly, squeezing out two shots with its rifle at one of the nearby droid.
OOC: Tomalor moves to I4 (prolly a double move). Aitch moves to L1, which looks to have LoS to 4. Point Black Rapid Shot vs. 4 (+5, 4d6+1 dmg).

Theta raises his rifle and takes a moment to sight down it before firing at the droid that is most damaged near the doors (#4). Theta's shot blows through the last of its shields and leaves the droid badly damaged
His modification's complete, Tomalor ducks behind Hawke. The droid strides forward menacingly, squeezing out two shots with its rifle at one of the nearby droid. With a sinister sounding, "Exclamation: I am quite eager to participate in some unadulterated violence!", it fires. And droid #4 joins droid #2 as a pile on the ground.
Devan moves up next to Sianni to take a shot at #1, but his blast bounces harmlessly off the droid's shields, though it hits the droid square on. "I should have known better than that." He mutters. "Those shields are too good."
The four droids knocked down by Kacela's Force Slam get up. Droid #1 pivots around, looking at its attackers, and walking forward. "Target #1, probable identification: Jedi Knight. Threat level: Extreme.
Target #2, probable identification: Mandalorian Mercenary. Threat level: high.
Target #3, 95% confident identifcation: Martina Ijatsi. Threat level: high.
Target #4, probable identifcation: unknown Republic Naval Officer. Threat level: moderate, low degree of confidence.
Target #5, probable identification: unknown assasin droid model. Threat level: moderate, low degree of confidence.
Target #6, 95% confident identification: Devan Ijatsi. Threat level: moderate.
Possible other threats, no line of sight."
And then it lets out a blast of autofire that encompases Hawke, Sianni, and Tomalor. They all manage to avoid some of the fire (OOC: It hit the square, but didn't beat anyone's ref defense). Hawke manages to completely evade the fire (OOC: He has evasion).
#5 and #8 take shots near Martina, apparently trying to set up a shot for Y, but the droid's shot went wide as well. Droid Z, seeing this failure, moved into position and targetted her area with a burst of autofire, which the Republic Commando shrugged off the damage to her obviously high-grade armor. Droid X tried the same tactic on Kacela, but quick lightsaber work Deflected its shots harmlessly.
Round 3
Martina stayed where she was, calmly shifting her aim to droids 3 and 6 and sweeping that area with autofire. Her shots blasted through their shields, and when they came back up, they didn't seem to have much strength.

OOC
Firing at 3 if it's still active, 6 if it's not, and 7 or 9 if 6 is also inactive. He'll move if needed to take a shot, though I think his LOS is clear to 3. Attack and damage rolls (1d20+9=24, 3d6+5=15) Rolls include Point Blank Shot - I had thought it was the same as D&D, so I hadn't been applying it. Whoops.

Reason: Added note about Point Blank Shot
"You should have 'known better'?" Sianni asks, turning to Devan. "We gotta talk about about ... YEOUCH!!! You bastard, that's real bantha leather," she screams as one of the energy darts pierces her vest (and shoulder). Swiveling to adjust her aim in order to pay the droid back for ruining her outfit, Sianni finds in her sights ... Theta. Great!Have they rehearsed stepping into my line of fire or what?
With a sigh she lets loose at the only other droid she can target without firing through the Mandalorian.
...
For later teasing Sianni also mentally filed the fact away that the droid considered Hawke to be of the same threat level as Devan Ijatsi.
The Ithorian did not respond to the droid's comments, but the pain of the attack caused him to act reflexively. As his left hand clenched into a fist, the nearest droid seemed to strain against something unseen.
The red droid, however, does seem to take offense. "Threat: This model is quite capable of melting you into slag!" Stomping forward, two more blasts of its rifle fired!
OOC: Tomalor will use force grip on Droid #1. Target says 6 squares or LoS, so I'm not sure if our boy will have to move first; if so, he'll go to L2. Use the Force check. (1d20+18=19). Aitch will move to M3, PB Rapid Shot @ #5: Hits Defense 17, 13 dmg

Still holding her lightsaber at the ready, Kacela holds her free hand over a small tube shaped container on her belt. A slim, black obling sphere pops out as if on its own volition and rises into her hand. The Jedi presses a smalls switch on the device as she raises it over her head...it makes a green light turn on, and the object emits a high pitched beep.
Then she throws it at a spot just between the damaged war droids. When it hits the ground, the grenade explodes into a bright flare of induction sparks, and St Elmo's Fire burns harmlessly along the metal superstructure of the station's floor, walls and ceiling. A blue-white pulse of electromagnetic energy surges out from it in a wave, engulfing the nearby droids before fading away.
(Throwing Ion Grenade at the grid intersection of the lines between 8 and 9, and between K and L...a 2 square explosion from there should affect 7, 6 and 9 I believe, while leaving Kacela out. Attack roll: 32!! That's a natural 20! http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1475714/ )
Theta Fett- M Hum Soldier 7/Elite Trooper1 (Ref Def 29, HP 80/100, Power Pack 47/50)
Theta tenses slightly as he notices Sianni pointing her weapon at him before shifting her aim to fire at another droid. Seeing his previous target downed by the battle droid on their side, Theta pivots slightly on the balls of his feet to bring his rifle around to aim at the one who came forward and made the tactical analysis. Taking in a breath, he lets it halfway out before holding it and slowly squeezing the trigger while sighted in right at the chest plate. "You need a new threat designation level: Terminal." Theta says quietly and without emotion.
OOC
Aimed Point Blank Shot at droid #1 (1d20+16=22, 4d8+5=25)
Note: Enemy Threshold -5.
Thanks for the note about PBS, I didn't realize all the ranges were in squares instead of feet like in D&D. Helps to know I can shoot up anything in this room with impunity.

#6's shields blink out of existence as the droid struggles to stay on its feet, while the shields on #7 and #9 are visibly weakened.

And with that Hawke blows away the last of #3's shields, and just barely fails to destroy the droid entirely.

Two of her shots hit the previously undamaged droid, moderately damaging the droid itself and leaving its shields flickering in and out.

#1's shields absorb most of the powerful shot, but it still leaves the droid moderately damaged, its shields weakened, and looking like its not quite reacting as quickly as it was before.

The red droid, however, does seem to take offense. "Threat: This model is quite capable of melting you into slag!" Stomping forward, two more blasts of its rifle fired! Unfortunately, the droid missed; for all the damage #5 had taken from Sianni, it didn't seem like he'd been slowed down any.

Tomalor's immobilized #1, but didn't do enough damage to get through its shields.
"Nothing sinister. Just going by observed performance, given the known energy outputs of my pistol relative to Martina's rifle and the more standard-issue weaponry you and your friends appear to be carrying." Devan says in response to Sianni's comment. "However, now that my wife and the Jedi have done something about that shield problem..." A spurt of plasma fires from his pistol, and droid #6 collapses to the ground.
OOC: And I'll get the bad guys actions and new map later; I've got to get to work eventually .
Droid #1 is moderately damaged and has suffered some damage to its shields

Droid #1 struggles to move but finds itself unable to. With droid #1 immobilized, #5 becomes the talkative one. "Aditional targets identified.
Target #7, probable identification: Twi'lek mercenary. Observed threat level: high.
Target #8, probable identifcation: Ithorian Force user. Threat level: moderate, low degree of confidence.
Target reclassification.
Target #4, probable identifcation: unknown veteran Republic Naval Officer. Threat level: high."
It, and #8, try to set up Martina for Z again, and this time they succeed, pelting that high-grade armor of her with blaster bolts. She was sweating, but it didn't look she was slowing down any.
#3 tried to fill the area where Hawke and Sianni were standing with autofire, but, perhaps because of all the damage it had taken, managed to aim too high to hit anyone under 2.5 meters tall.
Droid Y moved forward and sprayed autofire at Theta and Tomalor, slightly more accurately. It targetted the right area, but most of its fire was deflected harmlessly by some force surrounding Tomalor or by the Mandalorian's armor, and neither took much damage.
Droids 7, 9, and Z tried the same tactic on Kacela that their compatroits had on Martina, but with rather less success; the Jedi didn't need to pull any spectacular feats of deflecting blaster bolts with a lightsaber to avoid being hit.
Round 4
Martina ran back between her husband and the Ithorian before unleashing another blast of autofire, this time at #7 and #9, and it left the droids barely standing, slowly moving, and with no shields intact.

Kacela races into the cavernous room, lightsaber held back and up, tilted at an angle. As she gets to the nearest wardroid, she slashes it in a low, angled arc that bisects the mechanical menace's midsection...nearly dropping to her knees in the graceful motion. On the followthrough, she spins back up to her feet into a guard position, sweeping the 'saber around and back up.
Seeing most of the nearer targets being taken down or dealt with by others, Theta shifts his aim to the droids advancing in the middle of the room. He considers shooting a grenade into their midst but decides they're a bit to spread out to make it worthwhile using up one of his 3 grenades. With a flick of his thumb, he switches his rifle over to autofire mode and lets loose at the two droids in the center of the room.
"Quit bunching up and making us a target for their area attacks!" Theta advises the others before moving himself to get a better tactical view of the whole room.
