Hunted: Enemies of the Empire

Horst moves to the computers and prepares to run diagnostics, repairs, etc. He scans the console, whistles and says "So, do we have any systems optimized?!?"

The warning indicator goes off again. The fighter is entering weapons range! Bata warns, Evasive maneuvers! he says, moving to the astrogation panel to begin plotting the jump.

Initiative
25 Bounty Hunters
9 Crossbow


The bounty hunter ship, an aging retrofitted ARC-170, swoops in to medium range and releases a volley of shots at the Crossbow before Nyub can get the sluggish freight to take evasive action. The shots are still from a fairly long range however, and they go wide, just missing you.

OOC: The bounty hunters are 5 squares away on starship scale. Nyub, bear in mind most of your checks have a -10 modifier for the vehicle's size. Jinta's attack roll modifier is her BAB + vehicles Int mod (+2) + range modifier.

From what I gather, crew assignments are as follows:
Commander: Trangle (FreeXenon)
Pilot: Nyub (Max)
Enginneer: Horst (Einan)
Gunner: Jinta (RisingPhoenix)
Copilot: Bata (making an astrogation check; requires 1 minute)

If I misunderstood, you can correct me and take the station you prefer. Otherwise, changing stations is a swift action. This isn't really clarified in the rules. It says you can change roles from round to round, but I think it reasonable to assume it would take at least the small amount of time required by a swift action.

Actions?
 

Trangle (Male Ithorian Jedi); HP 21/30 (12)

Trangle will Search his Feelings about Nyub's immediate attempt to out maneuver these bounty hunters (std action) hoping to give him an advantage or warning.

"Pull now!" Trangle almost yells out to Nyub as the Sullustan is attempting to out maneuver the bounty hunters.

[OOC: Wow do I feel useless. =(

'Search My Feelings' as an alternative method to aid in piloting.

OOC: That is reasonable. I will allow it. Nyub adds a +2 to his piloting check as Trangle advises him using his intimate knowledge of the Force.

Nyub cuts hard to port, then throws the freighter into a dive to get out of the line of fire. "Keep it coming, Jedi. You call 'em, and I'll dodge 'em!"

OOC: Now that ENWorld is back to life.....Nyub is flying in total defense mode: +10 to ship defense, -10 to any attacks made by Jinta at the gunner position.
 

"Pull now!" Trangle almost yells out to Nyub as the Sullustan is attempting to out maneuver the bounty hunters. As Bata begins to calculate the jump, Nyub cuts hard to port, then throws the freighter into a dive to get out of the line of fire. "Keep it coming, Jedi. You call 'em, and I'll dodge 'em!" Having situated herself in the gunner's seat, Jinta rotates the station towards the incoming fighter and levels the cannons towards the aggressor. Unfortunately, it has been a long time since she manned such a station and she swings in the complete opposite direction she intended to. The starfighter screams past the Crossbow, releasing another volley of shots, but they are easily avoided. As the starfighter pulls out it loops back around to set up for another attack run.

Trangle will, again Search His Feelings about Nyub's immediate attempt to out maneuver these bounty hunters (std action) hoping to give him an advantage or warning.

"Now." Trangle says to Nyub as the Sullustan attempts to out maneuver the bounty hunters and to allow Jinta to get in a good shot.

Horst, sensing Jinta's hesitation to fire, bolts toward the gunner's station and takes over the weapons.

Firing at the bounty hunters: 1d20-8=-7

"Umm... I think the targeting computer's a little busted..."
 

Nyub continues to throw the freighter around, trying his best to make the ship as difficult a target as possible.

"How're you coming on that astrogation, Bata?" he asks, although he never looks over at Bata, instead keeping all his attention on staying out of the sights of the fighter.

ooc: continue full defense flying, +10 to defense, -10 to Horst's shots.
 

Jinta seems to be in a state of shock as Horst takes over the gunnery station. He tries to get control of the weapons, but the way Nyub is jerking the ship around makes that a very challenging prospect.

Something's wrong! Bata says with a worried look, I can't access the HoloNet. Without current data we'll run ourselves right into an asteroid or worse, a star. We're going to have to stay and fight until we can find out why the HoloNet is inaccessible.

Meanwhile, the bounty hunter ship circles and moves about for another attack run, but Nyub's deft handling of the freighter keeps their shots from hitting.
