Hayabusa's Dawn of Defiance: Chapter I: The Traitor's Gambit

[possum]

As the group enters their readied positions, TB opens the door. Inside, they see that the room is not the prison as they had hoped, but rather a medical bay. The vast chamber seems at first to be a place of healing—at least, until you take a closer look. Large bacta tanks line one border of the room, and other medical equipment is distributed haphazardly throughout the area. Operating tables, many with clamps and other restraint devices, seem to be scattered throughout the room with no real pattern to their arrangement, and the entire room has the same sterile smell of a medical bay.

A shocked looking man stands in front of you, near the bacta tanks. He wears the standard white coat of a doctor that is universal in the galaxy. Different than most doctors, however, is the insignia of the Empire on each shoulder.

On the tables lie two Felucians, likely the source of the screams heard earlier. They have clearly undergone some kind of mutation; their muscles bulge and their bodies seem to bend in unnatural places. The right forearms have been removed entirely, and instead a long bone blade extends from the elbow, growing out of the flesh with a ragged, serrated edge. Thick, tough looking scales grow out of the Felucians' body.

The doctor panics and pushes a button next to him, unleashing the mutated Felucians from their cots. "Attack the intruders!" he calls out. He looks at the droid. "You too, Twoonay."

The droid gives what would be a pitiful look at its master if it could properly convey emotion on its metal face. "Master, I am a doctor not a..."

The frantic doctor shouts out an override code, causing the droid to turn towards you, raising its pinchered hands.

«We don't get a surprise round then?

 

[perrinmiller]

[sblock=OOC]It was also my understanding that everyone is 1 more square down, Mack was intended to be at the doorjamb where Keyton is, otherwise he would be 1SQ East of TB. And Mir isn't in position yet.

And as soon as the door opens we were planning to fire, not letting whoever is inside have three or four actions. Based on the description, the doctor won initiative and took at least three Move actions, assuming he didn't have to change squares. I think the source material again is bending the rules of Saga and completely ignoring whatever actions the players take beforehand. We had this issue back in V14 before.

As we opened the door AND know there are bad guys on the other side, Mack has no hesitation to shoot anyone not in a cell. [/sblock]

OOC: I too agree that we should be 1 square down and my Initiative should be a 20 (with a +4 modifier) since its not listed. I have no problem with possum setting up the scene with discriptive text (or what PM would call 3 move actions), but it does appear that we did surprise the good doctor and thus get a surprise round once things are all said and done.

 

[possum]

OOC: Okay, take your surprise round actions and then Mack's first round actions. Sorry, all.

 

[perrinmiller]

Mack moves into the medilab, ready to shut the door after every gets in.

Then he moves closer to take out the nefarious doctor, swinging the barrel of his blaster rifle at the imperial. Mack shoots him.

[sblock=Actions]Surprise Round: Move 1SQ South; 2SQ West; 1 SQ North

1st Round:

Mir moves up behind the others and moves just inside the of the south side of the doorway. She looks over the nastiness happening... (surprise round, move. Round 1: Felucians and Dr. Vischera are before her.)

 

[Nebten]

Keyton moves into the room positioning himself in front of the Felucians and his companions.

Calm down or all of you will become hurt.

[sblock=Move] Moving 2 South then 4 West [/sblock]

That gives the besalisk pause. Frek, frek, frek, frek, frek! And not a trace of the admiral to boot! Too late to close the door now though...

Keyton moves into the room positioning himself in front of the Felucians and his companions.

Calm down or all of you will become hurt.

To emphasize the point, Sloor steps in next to the Jedi, heavy blaster pointed right at the man, stun knuckles sparking dangerously. "What he said."

TB is somewhere at his back, trying to see if it can't figure out how to lock the doors from the inside.


«Sloor moves 4sq SW, taking cover behind the medbed. Should also give him an attack of opportunity when/if the felucian stands up from prone (hopefully).
«TB will take Mack's spot by the door once that worthy moves away.

 

[possum]

The group moves into the room, Mack much quicker than the others. The soldier takes the "good" doctor by surprise. He tries to aim his blaster pistol at his assailant but is too late, as the blaster shot fired at him hits before he can even fully extend his arm.

The two Felucians stand prone from their medical beds, ignoring their targets.

OOC: AoOs from Mack and Sloor?
