The Star Wars Iconic Characters and the Rebels of Ralltiir.

[Kelko]

"It's always something," Kelko mutters, then he throws over his shoulder to the others: "Hold on, this may get a little rough!" Warning so issued, he pushes back on the throttle and jerks the control stick hard right, trying to slip down a side street and get out of line-of-sight of the AT-ST's guns.

 

[Set Harth]

Two actions depending how close we are to the AT-ST

The skiff almost rams it...
Set smoothly draws his blue-green lightsaber and attempts to cut one of the AT-ST's legs out from under it, before quickly deactivaing his sword.

OR, If we're not close enough...
Set careful aims his blaster and attempts to shoot the driver through the AT-ST window.

Either way Set uses Heroic Surge to activate his Battlemind and a force point to enhance his chances for this cinematic scene.

 

[Pbartender]

Warning so issued, he pushes back on the throttle and jerks the control stick hard right, trying to slip down a side street and get out of line-of-sight of the AT-ST's guns.

Pilot (Avoid Hazard, DC 20): 14 +12 -6 = 20
Pilot (90º Quick Turn, DC 10): 5 +12 -6 = 11

Set smoothly draws his blue-green lightsaber and attempts to cut one of the AT-ST's legs out from under it, before quickly deactivaing his sword.

Force Point: +7
Battlemind: 10 +8 = 18, +3 atk bonus, -5 VP.
Attack, Lightsaber: 9 +8 +3 +7 = 27, 6 +3 +3 +7 = 19; damage: 15(20), 17(22)
AT-ST acquires a flaw: -4 penalty on Pilot checks when vehicle is moving at a speed greater than 10 meters.

Kelko wildly swings the controls about in an effort to avoid an evade the AT-ST. Swerving at the last moment, the skiff barely manages to not ram the walker and sparks fly as the skiff's repulsor cowling scrapes along the walker's durasteel leg.

Set is ready for the maneuver, bracing himself on the railing. Giving in fully to the Force, his lightsaber is guided by intuition alone. Two gentle caresses of the energy blade slice cleanly through the servo mechanisms and control lines of the nearby leg.

Kelko pulls the skiff through a skidding turn down the nearest alley, leaving a bit of the skiff's paint smeared along one warehouse wall.

Behind them, the AT-ST appears in the entrance to the alleyway, moving at nearly a run. It checks its speed to make the turn and pursue, but the stress of the maneuver proves too much for its wounded leg. With a shriek of strained metal and a ringing pop, the leg snaps cleanly in half, sending the scout walker toppling over onto its side with a reverberating clang.

OOC/FYI: The walker pilot failed his pilot check due to the -4 penalty from the previous damage. He lost control of the walker and it 'toppled'.

 

[Rorworr]

"Nice..." Rorworr says appreciatively as the AT-ST collapses sideways. He pats Set on the shoulder, then turns to Deel.

"So, where are we heading again? If it's the spaceport, it might be a touch more heavily guarded that you're expecting. We had something of a welcoming committee..." Rorworr quickly outlines the day's events to Deel, neglecting no detail.

 

[Pbartender]

"Out of town," Deel answers. "There is a river just ahead. Turn south and follow it out of town. The ship is hidden in the wooded hills just south of here, and the river will take us most of the way there."

"We will have to be careful. The Imperials undoubtedly have an alert out for us, and will be cordoning off the city, and searching the countryside for us."

 

[Kelko]

Kelko follows the Twi'lek's instructions, heading for the river and intending to follow it out of the city.

"Well this should be fairly easy, the Imperials have had alerts out on us before and we're still here," the Rodian points out with a rare bit of optimism on his part. He looks over at the Wookiee. "Remember that time back on that backwater in the corporate sector? I was less a brand new pair of boots, but we made out alive, and it was definitely more involved than this."

 

[Rorworr]

"That's not a trip I'd forget..." Rorworr chuckles at Kelko's reminiscence. "We must have had half the planetary defence fleet after us. Still, that's not saying much... Can you call six ships a fleet?"

He leans back against the rail running around the skiff, enjoying the wind blowing through his fur.

"So Deel, how did you get involved with the Rebels? The thrill of espionage too tempting?"

Deel shrugs, "The pay's alright, the benefits package isn't bad, and the prospects for advancement are excellent... Positions for promotion are always opening up."

Kelko arrives at the river, and swings the cargo skiff to the south. As the city flies by, a whirring whine materializes from behind. A squad of four scout troopers on speederbikes are rapidly closing the distance along the opposite riverbank. About a mile up ahead, a bridge spans the river... The scouts are obviously trying to head you off there.

 

[Arani Korden]

Arani has never enjoyed violence; she can still clearly remember the face of the first man she shot, over a decade ago on an unnamed jungle planet. So in combat situations, she tends to be tense, reserved, and nearly silent, a far cry form her usual chatty self.

Still, when she hears . . .

Deel shrugs, "The pay's alright, the benefits package isn't bad, and the prospects for advancement are excellent... Positions for promotion are always opening up."

She can't help but laugh, and loosen up a little. If you have to wade hip deep in blood, it's best to do it with friends.

 

[Pbartender]

"Besides which," Deel continues, "Imperials can't seem to take a joke."

He nods ahead to where the four military speeder bikes are crossing the bridge.

"Here they come."
