Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order

[doghead]

Devlin, human male

Whoa. This is not a good place to be.

For a moment he considers an expedious retreat to the shelter of the corner. But he realises that in the time it would take to coordinate that, they would loose their advantage of surprise. Time to to try and roll over them before they have a chance to react.

*Devlin adds his blaster fire on the stormtrooper at the junction <F6> to Dralon's.*

((Rannick's throw is a 'hit', and the grenade lands in the square. Every hS except for 2 makes a Ref save for half damage. 4 and 6 pass the save. They take 4 damage each, while the others all take 13 damage. This drops hS1, 3, and 5.))

Rannick's grenade drops, rolls for a moment, and there is a short, disturbing silence. A moment later, the grenade explodes in a bright flash. When the smoke and dust clears, three of the troopers are on the ground, each with many cuts and holes in their armor, and very bloodied faces. Obviously, the lack of helmets was not the brightest idea in the world. The other three are in positions that seemed to cover them from the brunt of the blast, though it is somewhat surprising to see the two nearest the explosion still up and not looking all that happy.

((Note, because of this taking out the large collection of troopers, going to give Archimedes a chance to change his action if he wants. No new map, but you can just look at the old one and ignore the three dead.))

Archimedes retargets to F5... or R5 (I forgot & I suck at coordinants)... right between the two in the corridor).

((Dralon's up next. His attack is a 6. Misses.))

The young Dralon charges forward, blaster blazing at the nearest of the troopers. But the bolt instead hits the wall, putting a deep black scorch mark on the otherwise clean white wall. As he runs forward, Joric steps back, calling out to Archimedes as he moves.

((Devlin's attack is an 9. Another miss.))

Devlin fires over the shoulder of Dralon, the red bolt shooting past and striking the wall, closer to the corner this time and at least getting a reaction out of the helmetless tropper. After pulling back to reach around the corner, the trooper returns fire with his blaster rifle. The shots are quickly joined by those from the two other troopers.

((hS2 holds his ground and fires at Rannick. The attack is a 17. That hits and Rannick takes 13 vitality damage.
hS4 fires at Archimedes. His attack is a 5. Miss.
hS6 fires around the corner at Dralon. The attack is a 13. Another miss.))

Two shots go high, striking the ceiling above both Archimedes and Dralon. They echo loudly and drops down a few sparks, but do no actual damage other than a few bright spots in the eyes. Rannick, though, feels the blaster bolt shoot right past his shoulder, lightly scorching him but thankfully not hitting.

((Archimedes' throw hits the square, placing the grenade right where it needs to be. The two troopers have to make Ref saves...hS4 passes, and hS6 fails. So, hS4 takes 2 damage and hS6 takes 9. That kills 6.))

Just as the smoke from the first grenade clears, the three traitorous stormtroopers have a quick second to watch Archimedes' grenade land at two of their feet. A half second later, it also explodes. Two loud cracks and yelps are heard just under the explosion, and when the smoke clears again, only two of the troopers stand, with the third sprawled against the wall and unmoving.

((End of Round...new map uploaded.))

*Joric chuckles quietly to himself.* They even die like stormtroopers. At least our is smart enough to keep his helmet on.... "Well done, Archimedes, and Rannick. Keep them off balance and finish them off. Don't let them escape." *Considering, he shrugs, and draws his own blaster, taking aim at hS2, and firing.

 

[Lobo Lurker]

Archimedes, his voice made hollow and lifeless by his helment's voice filters says, "I could have tolerated an intelligent traitor... An intelligent traitor would have realized that this was an inescapable situation. Unfortunatly, only a fool would think that they could blast thier way out of Carida! That you still wear your uniform is hearsy. You're not a stormtrooper, not anymore. By the will of the Emperor, I'll see you dead and your body rendered down into soap and pig slop."

Archimedes will move up 5 squares (that's my max move-action distance, right... I still haven't gotten down how much distance each square equates to), train his blaster-rifle on the traitors, and multi-fire (which one isn't really important at this point, especially given my initiative).

 

[doghead]

Devlin takes a deep breath, steadies, and lets off a couple more blasts at the standing Stormtroopers.

ooc: * SPORTING BLASTER PISTOL +0, 3d4, 8m, 20x2 * Rapid shot if possible *

If his line of sight is blocked, he will move to a clear one. If the last Stormtrooper is downed first, he will push up to the corner, being careful to avoid being shot by those that the ST's were fighting.

 

[Veritas]

Given the much better odds, Rannick will open fire on hS2 with a normal shot, leaving the other traitor for the others.

 

[ImperialMilitary]

Dralon snarls and advances on HS4, stopping to take a shot. "You rebels are all pathetic and beneth me! A true hero of the Empire!"

OOC: A full move and then a shot at HS4

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

((Rannick's attack is a 21. Hits and hS2 takes 9WP damage.))

This time, the shot from Rannick's blaster rifle hits, colliding with the center chestplate of the traitorous stormtrooper and sending him stumbling back some. A large, black scorch mark is now on the armor, but the plasteel did its job and protected the man from the brunt of the shot.

((Dralon's shot is a 14. Another hit, and it deals 5 more damage. That drops the trooper.))

The shot from Dralon's pistol catches the scratched up trooper's armor right at the shoulder, sending the man twisting back into the corner behind him before slumping down and dropping his rifle.

((Joric's attack is a 12, just hits and deals 8 more damage for 17 total. hS2 is down. Combat is over. ))

Before the stormtrooper could react and return fire from Rannick's shot, another blaster bolt strikes his chest. There is a grunt of pain from the main before the force of Joric's shot sends him onto his back with a loud thud and clank from the armor.

With the troopers down, the air seems to calm at least slightly. In the distance, you can see the smoke clearing and a few shouted orders from what sounds like the officer who sent you around the flank.
