Hunted: Enemies of the Empire

[airwalkrr]

The bounty hunter ship glides in to point blank range and slows its speed, clearly lining up for a good shot. Nyub maneuvers about just in time to see the bright flashes of laser fire impact the hull of the Crossbow. Bata jumps from his seat at the astrogation panel and moves down towards Horst, We're all going to be prisoners of the Empire soon if we don't find a way to destroy that thing. I'm going to see if I can squeeze more performance out of the targeting computer.
Jinta snaps out of her delirium and steps up to Horst, That's an older model ARC-170. Aim for the port energy panels. They have a defect in their protective plating. If you hit them just right you should be able to blow them open and cripple the fighter.

The bounty hunters hit for 48 points of damage minus 15 for DR. The Crossbow is at 87 hit points.
Bata aids Horst's attack.
Jinta aids Horst's atack.

Trangle steps back amidst the flurry of assistance provided to Horst as he Searches His Feelings.

"What ever you do do it..... now!"



[OOC: Assist with Horst's firing. (1d20+13=32) ]

Horst breathes deeply. He steadies himself, mutters a few choice invocations to whatever small and petty gods govern luck for horn headed Casanovas like himself and fires:

1d20+3=12 and spending a Force Point: 1d6=5 for a total of 17!

"Eat this, nerfherder!"

Damage: 4d10=29 x2 = 58 damage!

Edit: Plus 1 attack and damage for Point Blank! 18 to hit and 59(60?) damage!

Horst connects with the port energy panels and a spectacular eruption of debris issues forth from the bounty hunter ship. As sparks fly from the energy panels the bounty hunter ship turns about and begins to hasten into a retreat, clearly severely damaged by the blast. Bata gets up from the targeting computer and rushes back to the cockpit, I'll get back on that calculation. And if there is anyone here who knows how to work the HoloNet better than myself, please abide!

 

[Einan]

Horst lets out a whoop and slaps the ship's board. "This old hunk might be spaceworthy yet! Hey, I'll give you a hand with that calculation!" With this, Horst ambles into the cockpit and begins aiding the calculations.

Use Computer Check: 1d20+6=10 Spot on to aid another!

 

[Max]

"Nice shooting!" Says Nyub. He will fly away from the bounty hunter at top speed. He will watch the sensors for more trouble while the jump is being calculated.

Ooc: I'm on my blackberry today so posting is a pain.

 

[airwalkrr]

As you fly away from the bounty hunter ship, a sensor sweep shows the immediate area to be clear. You now have time to calculate the jump.

I'm still having trouble accessing the HoloNet, Bata sighs in frustration after working at the nav computer for a few minutes. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but I need to call in a favor. There is an old... acquaintance I know of who can lend us aid, but he is, how should I say, somewhat unsavory. I don't like dealing with him, but he's the only one in this system I can trust not to rat us out to hunters. I assume you are ok with this?

"Well, we were hired to protect someone who opposes the oppressively absolute dictatorship that the Empire has become, shot it out with the local cops, and had a bounty hunter try and reduce us to our component atoms. All in 24 hours. And you think someone "unsavory" will be a problem? Bring him on," Nyub says cheerfully. It appears he is totally sincere.

 

[Einan]

Horst looks pensive. "I dunno. I mean, I just stowed in here to escape an old girlfriend or two, but I for one am not completely convinced that trusting an unsavory type is a good idea. I mean, what if he backstabs us, tries to put one over on you, pulls a Baruvian swindle? I mean, sure he'd need at least two other mooks in on it for the Baruvian to work, but... What, why's everyone staring at me like that?"

Trangle stays silent and shifts himself to the background while he feels deep into his connection to the Force to see how contacting this new contact may fare.

[OOC:Search Feelings for contacting Bata's contact (1d20+13=23) ]
