If Skyka doesn't take out the droid in melee range with her, Aerek will full-attack it, fighting defensively and keeping Deflect up (+2 to defense, attacking back with anything that misses by less than 5, so his defense will be 21, and he'll attack at +7/+2). If she does take it out, then Aerek will stick with the same Total Defense, Deflect (defense), and Deflect (attack) regimen he used last round.

((Skyka's first attack against D10 is a 21. Hits, and deals 14 damage. Second attack is a 17, another hit, and 9 more damage.))
The droid in front of Skyka had left itself far too open in its charge, and it was easy for Skyka to take advantage of that. Striking first with her larger lightsaber, the droid is only able to avoid losing its head by slamming its large shield-arm into Skyka's hand to force the attack away. Her second strike comes even closer, at least taking one or two of the droid's exterior servos with it...though Skyka knows that her blade should have easily cut the droid in two. It was very, very fast.
((Aerek's first attack against D10 is a 12. Just misses. His second attack is a 15, and that's a hit. 22 damage to the droid.))
With the sword-handed war droid completely ignoring Aerek, it should have been easy to take it out. However, his first heavy strike is avoided by centimeters as the droid quicly leans forward for a half second, just long enough for the lightsaber blade to skim across behind it.
But just as it settles back into its previous position, Aerek strikes again, and this time his lightsaber finds its mark. Servos and pistols shatter and fly from the left side of the droid's torso, and while it gives Aerek a sideways glance with two dead, reddish eyes. Somehow, even with a good section of its torso now scattered across the stone floor, the droid is still up and seemingly unphased beyond a few sparks from the wound.
((Wryy is up...and just wanted to mention, good to see dead's back(if you are, indeed, back). Perfect action for Bud'd. Should save the day.

((Cai will also attack the droid while Fighting Defensively. Her attack is a 20. That hits, and D10 takes another 12 damage. Now its down.))
Her lightsaber a blue, Cai swings it across towards the War Droid, cleaving through the other half of the droid. Skyka watches as the two red eyes wink out of existance the moment before the entire thing crumbles to the stone floor in a pile of parts.
Bringing her lightsaber back up in front of her in a defensive position, she says quickly, "Wryy'ethh wants to know if we should attempt climbing down the cliff to avoid the blaster fire."
((Droids are up again.
D1 and D2 are combining fire against Aerek. Attack is a 15. Miss. Not close enough to deflect back.
D3 and D4 combine fire against Skyka. Attack is a 24. That hits, and Skyka takes 18 damage. That drops her Vitality to 0, and she also takes 1 Wound damage. She has to make a Fort save vs. DC 6 or be knocked out...save is a 21, so she's still conscious, but is now at -2 Str and Dex.
D5 and D6 combine fire to attack Cai. Attack is a 12. Miss.
D8 and D9 combine fire against Wryy'ethh. Attack is a 20. Another miss.))
With the sword-armed War Droid down, the remaining of them continue thier tactics from before, though this time they seem more diligent. Blaster shots fly everywhere, and despite some close calls and quick deflections from the majority of you, on shot gets past Skyka's defenses and burns across her shoulder.
It doesn't hit too hard, but it leaves a deep black mark in her tunic and the impact is hard to ignore.
((New map up, and new round. Also, Bud'd is conscious again, and her place in the Iniatiative order is right after Aerek. So, new order is: Skyka, Aerek, Bud'd, Wryy, Cai, Droids.))

*Wryy growls in deep frustration, fearful that his companions are simply delaying their inevitable end. He steps up behind Aerek, leaving Budd room to manuever, and he focuses his thoughts for a brief second, and reaches out, attempting to knock the driods away.*
OOC: Spend a force point, use Force Strike on D1, which should affect the 2 adjacent as well.

I know efficient fighting tactics aren't exactly the Wookie way, but unless you can't do it for range reasons, target the back row with Force powers, please. They're droids -- a Deflect-ed shot or a single lightsaber swing will probably kill them. Force Strike might not.
"Sky, I'm beginning to think delaying tactics aren't the best idea." Aerek said, limping up to face the nearest droid (move to D8, attack D2). (keep fighting defensively, keep using deflect where possible; +7 to hit, 3d8 + 3 dmg; def 22 vs. blaster fire)

((It is range, yeah - Force Strike has 10' range, so I'd have to step in front to use it))

((Aerek's attack is a 16. A hit, and D2 takes 22 damage. Its down.))
With a firm step forward and a quick swing of his lightsaber, Aerek easily cut across the chestplate of the nearest droid. The lightsaber burned in deep, frying circuits and destroying systems in a short second before it fell to the stone floor as a simple heap of metal.
Blinking slightly, Bud'd regains consciousness slowly. Seeing the situation, with a little help from the Force, she thanks Wryy'ethh quietly and gets back to her feet, shakily. Getting her bearings again, she silently drew her blaster pistol and squeezed off a shot at one of the nearby droids.
((Bud'd's firing at D5. Attack is a 14, hits and D5 takes 21 damage. Another down.
Also, for Wryy's Force Strike, I'm assuming he steps forward enough to target D9, since nothing was specified other than a 'yeah' with targeting those in the back. That costs 2VP, bringing Wryy down to 5VP. D9, D4, D6, and D8 make Ref saves vs. DC 10. Only D9 fails, so while D9 takes 10 damage, the others all take 5.
Cai moves and attacks D3 normally, no fighting defensive for her. Attack is a 28. A hit, and deals 14 damage. A third droid down.))
A blaster bolt flies off between Cai and Skyka, striking the nearest of the droids square in the chestplate. The bolt scorches deep, and a small plume of black smoke can be seen as it sprawls back and smashes into the stone floor.
A heavy wave of the Force slams into the four droids in the back, and its easily noticeable in how they all stagger back against nothing. Though most of them seem fine, the nearest of the droid's silvery torso shows a strong dent in it.
For a moment, Cai just glares at Aerek, obviously wondering why he's putting himself right in front of the walking blasters...even if they can't seem to hit much. Grumbling something under her breath, she follows his example and also moves forward, finishing her own quick charge by easily lopping off the head of the droid in front of her.
((Droids are up. D1, D4, and D9 are combining fire against Aerek. Attack is a 17. A miss, and just enough that Aerek can redirect the shot back to D1(the primary shooter). Aerek's attack is a 17, which hits, and D1 takes 15 damage. Its down. Note that Aerek has lost his next round's move action due to the deflecting.
D8 and D6 combine fire against Cai. Their attack is a 17, which misses.))
Aerek quickly finds that three of the war droids had turned their attention straight to him. Blaster arms raised, they all opened up fire on him at once. Though they got close, the shots were still badly placed and Aerek was able to catch one on his lightsaber blade, immediately reflecting it back to the nearest of the droids. The redirected blaster bolt hit the droid in its skull, smashing the casing just before the stone floor did the rest of the damage.
The two remaining droids also held their ground, and arguably stupid move considering how quickly their numbers were falling, but droids would be droids. Together, the two fired on the nearby Cai, but both shots went far over her head and shattered against the stone behind her, sending a few pieces of the wall across the small corridor.
