"Oh Sithspit," Rosa curses as the frag grenade explodes, severely injuring her. She falls back behind the wall, near the door and rests. (If I fell a step on the CT, I spend two of the three swifts needed to move up.)
OOC: You did; the grenade did 17 damage, which is exactly your damage threshhold, so you went down a step.
Without hesitation, although wounded, Wes switches his focus of fire toward the Large War Droid that Zenith is moving to engage. Once his shot is fired off, the Corellian moves to cover his wounded commander, interposing himself as cover between her and other danger.
OOC
Wes will shoot at W3 and then move to 20K, lending himself as cover for Rosa, while the commander recovers from her wounds.
A shot from Wes' rifle disables W3, leaving W2 as the only large war droid still functioning.
At the officer's orders, the man-sized war droids break into two fire teams four, each concentrating on one of the Jedi. The four on the right combine fire to hit Istara, who is unable to deflect the shot (25 hits, 21 on the UtF check to Deflect; does 15 dmg). The four on the left try to hit Zenith, but she sidesteps the shot and the covering fire the others used to set it up (18 misses).
Groaning in pain at the unwelcome blaster bolt, Istara shunts the pain aside, a jedi does not know pain, right? she commented to herself as she stepped forward, bringing her lightsaber around in a slash at the last of the large war droids.
(moving 1 square to the left, and then activating battlestrike during her attack)
Istara calls upon the force as she steps up to attack the last of the large war droids, but she doesn't seem to feel much of a connection with the Force in this (natural 1 on the UtF check). Still, she does manage to leave the war droid in very poor shape (18 -- with +1 from battle strike and +1 from Born Leader -- hits, 11 dmg).
OOC: I keep rolling poorly for Istara's UtF checks. Sorry.
Khyber continues to watch the hall and guard whatever Saricia's working on.
Zenith scowls and mutters something under her breath. Keeping her lightsaber on guard, she yanks a fat, slightly oblong orb from her belt and pitches it at the smaller war droids off to the right. It lands short of them, bounces with a clank, and rolls a little to a spot right in front of them.
It beeps for exactly 1.3 seconds.
Then it erupts in a wave of charged particles that engulfs them all!
(Hurling Ion grenade at the 4 droids to Zenith's right! 23 to hit (vs their Reflex defenses) for 18 damage (1/2 if it misses).) Roll Lookup
The ion grenade badly damages all four of the man-sized droids, but doesn't incapacitate any of them.
The large war droid disengages from melee, backing up and then firing a missile that engulfs Istara, Storm, and Wes in its blast radius (15 misses, so half damage = 7). The officer also withdrew before tossing another frag grenade (10 misses, so half damage = 8).
(Rosa is up)
Taking cover behind the wall, Rosa caught her breath (finished recovery; still has a move and a standard action available).
OOC: Rosa moved and took the first two swift actions of recovering last round, even if I forgot to write it up.
(light beige area is the area of effect of the missile and the grenade)
"Shocker to the right," shouts Wes as he unhooks an ion grenade from his bandoleer and tosses it in the midst of the war droids on the right. He then falls back to cover on the right side of the door frame, since the commander seems recovered.
Storm leaps after the large battle droid, and with a slash of his lightsaber, destroys it (26 hits for 10 dmg).
Wes just barely catches D5, D6, and D7 with the full force of the ion grenade (10 hits because they're -2 on the condition track, 12 ion damage). It's not sufficient to destroy them (at least, not if I understand how ion damage works correctly), but they're barely functional; it looks like they can barely move, and their targetting and defensive systems are severely hampered.
Still, they do manage to try and take a coordinate shot at Zenith. But the Jedi pilot dodges it. (17 misses)
The four remaining undamaged war droids combine fire at Istara, and they have somewhat better aim (21 hits), but Istara deflects the shot easily with her lightsaber (31 on the UtF check to Deflect), recognizing the blast that was supposed to hurt her rather than the three diversionary shots.
Thinking better of her position in the middle of a cross fire of 7 battle droids, Istara decides discretion is the better part of valor, especially given how hurt she is. Then again destruction is better then discretion. Raising her right arm to point it at the damaged droids and makes a pecular gesture, flexing her index and middle finger, sending a barrage of blaster bolts from the tricked out pistol mounted on her flightsuit's wrist. It was not a trick people would expect of a jedi.
(Standard Action: Autofire vs D6 + D7 - 1d20+3 [3d6+9 damage]
Move Action: Move to N15
Swift Action: Second Wind to recover 11 HP)
The droids burried in the barrage of autofire crumple to the ground (13 HITs because at -4 steps on the condition track, Istara could only miss them on a 1; 19 damage is enough to kill them), and Istara catches her breath as she moves off to the side a bit.
Zenith rushes at the four war droids to her left, bringing her lightsaber to bear in a wide swing that makes a fan of light through the air. Her other hand she keeps poised palm out, ready to intercept incoming energy fire.
Zenith's lightsaber cuts through into of the four droids that were on her left, severely damaging it and rattling its circuitry (HIT).
The officer withdraws and fires his blaster pistol at Storm, but the Jedi deflects the blast with his lightsaber (26 HITS, but 31 on the UtF check to Deflect SUCCEEDS).
It was like being stared down by a Nexu as Storm casually deflected the bolt and approached the Officer in a predatory crouch. "Surrender." It was the only chance he was offering as he prepared to pounce at the Imperial.
OOC
I'm readying a charge to be used in the case the Officer does anything but clearly surrender.
Rosa's shot calmly takes out the droid Zenith had attacked. (20 HITS for 17 damage; d1 is destroyed)
"I'm afraid I can't do that just yet." The officer said, bracing to defend himself. "Not a scratch on me. Honor of the Empire and all that."
Storm lived up to his word and charged the officer (24 HITS for 14 damage), but it seemed like he was tougher than he looked, or perhaps had armor under his uniform, because although he showed some signs of injury, it didn't look like it slowed him down.
