[IC] SWS/DnD5, Star Wars the Old Republic – A Gathering Darkness

Kacela runs up alongside Reks and looks up into the air at the two attacking flying creatures. The nature of the trap the Kwi had set for the mercenaries was becoming more clear! They weren't here to fight for the mercenaries, but clearly these creatures couldn't tell the difference, and the Kwi either couldn't designate targets or didn't wish to exclude them yet.

Either way, they had to defend themselves.

She lifted a hand and sent a concussive wave crashing through the air, propelled by the Force.

(Force Slam! It's a cone effect, not sure if I can get them both...if not, I'll boom the most wounded. Use the Force: [roll0])

This Gand's first shot kills the Saurian Flier on Reks but his second shot at the pair in the sky above and concealed by the fog misses. The Gand then moves under a large fungal like bush-like plant which provides pretty good cover from the air.

Cal and this Gand both take shots and the Saurian fliers in the air but they blaster bolts both miss! Then Kacela moves part way up the tree behind Reks and unleashes the power of the Force! Waves of energy slam into the pair but the young Padawan is surprised when the creatures are not knocked back. They seem hurt but not too damaged by what should have been a great blow!

The pair swoop down then, one landing next to Reks who slashed at it with his lightsablers but misses both times and the other lands next to Kacela attempting to bite and claw the young Padawans. Reks is bite and clawed by the creature and must grit his teeth in pain but remains on his feet, while Kacela takes a nasty bite on her shoulder!!!

The mercs move closer to the group and their leader laughs "Ha, stupid Republic beast loving scum, see how much your nature loving ways gets you eat by the things you want to protect..." but they mercs still fire at Saurian Fliers back farther in the mist.

This Gand then spots someone or something running along out farther in the swamp. It has a silhouette very similar to what this Gand saw of the Kwi when the scout they encounter ran off... this Gand is not positive that whatever ran for cover out there was a Kwi but this Gand can assume that it probably was. The creature ducked behind some plant growth and out of this Gand's light of sight about 30 meters farther into the swamp...

Meanwhile back at the landspeeder, Jihahna moves forward and dives behind some cover as the speederbike gunner unleashes another set of blaster bolts her way! But the gunner most have been distracted by something as he bolts come no where near close to where the ex-merc is hiding.


GM: OK round 1 roundup.
For Force Slam to knock someone prone you must meet or exceed the target's Fortitude Defense, and the Saurian Fliers have an 18, so they only suffer ½ damage and are not knocked prone. So both fliers 9 damage and are at 16HP each.

The Saurian flies then moved down and landed next to each of the Padawans. Reks took 20 points of damage (but from two separate attacks so he is not Reeling) has 13HP remaining. Kacela took 8 points of damage and is now down to 30HP

If Cal and this Gand want to fire at them they are at Disadvantage for both as they are in melee (note that at 3rd level you all get a feat and Precise Shot allows you to fire into melee and not suffer Disadvantage, just as an FYI :) you know)

The mercs are now 14 meters away from the team. They have not attacked you but a couple are pointing their blasters your way. Cass, the leader is focusing mostly on your team and both Cal and this Gand note that one of his hands is reaching for a grenade like weapon on his belt.

Jihahna had superior cover and with a negative roll no damage at all. Note that the gunner has light cover (Ref +2) in the sidecar so his Ref Def is a 16.

It is now Round 2, and the Characters action. Everyone please post what you are doing and all your rolls.

Any questions post in the OOC and see notes I posted there
 

Jihahna didn't feel like this merc was nearly as dangerous to her now as before... She had a bad feeling about this... But her feelings have not been serving her well since she got here and so she ignored them this time.

She moved forward towards her enemy into cover as best as she could once again. This time, she should have a nice clear shot.

She lined up her blaster rifle and fire
At the gunner.

OOC: At best, Jihahna has moved 24 metres towards the enemy speeder, but assuming that she has been weaving to use cover, she may or may not now be within 30 metres of the enemy.

If she is though, Jihahna is in point blank range.

Jihahna will now fire at the gunner on stun:
_: 1D20+6 = [15]+6 = 21
2D8+5 = [3, 3]+5 = 11

 

click mumble jumble clack "Apology, but the Kwi are not beast?" Still on her back, she gripped her gun in her off hand and drew a rough, put-together monstrosity from her belt, firing it up at the heavens. clicketty mumble cruck mumble, slurr jumble drone WHirr "Did the Kwi not lure Czerka's mercs to the swamp so that saurian fliers could eat them?"

The flare arched up and exploded in a burst of light, outlining the shadows of winged shapes up there.

OOC: Firing the bodged flare gun to hopefully nullify disadvantage on attacking the mist fliers for everybody this round (mercs mostly, I'd guess)? Then taking a shot with his/her bonus action (assuming a flaregun counts as a pistol? If not ignore this bit): _: 1D20+5 = [12]+5 = 17; 3D8+3 = [2, 7, 7]+3 = 19

Getting back up, the Gand then spots someone or something running along out farther in the swamp... Spotting the grenade too, amazingly enough he buzzed, and added: clicketty jumble slur, click warbly-hum "Are they not hiding all around these ones right now?"

Kacela glances at the mercenaries and curses under her breath, but it wouldn't do her any good to concentrate on the true threat while this flying lizard eviscerated her!

Her lightsaber flashes to life; a solid bar of green light that swept in an arc towards the saurian that had attacked her!

[roll0] to hit, for [roll1] damage on a hit.
 

With the fog and mist somewhat dissipated by the powerful glow of this Gand's flare, Cal takes a shot but misses one of the seven Saurian Fliers that can now see are circling about the mercs and the team. This Gand is more successful and shoots one of the creatures squarely. It lets out a weird screech and flies off into the mist in full retreat! Reks slashes at the creature attacking him and scores a burn along its right leg but the creature simply howls in anger and looks ready to try and tear the young Padawan apart. Calling on some hidden reserve the young Padawan also seems to shake off some of the damage the creature had inflicted onto him. Kacela scores a far better hit with her lightsaber causing the beast to howl in pain as it then attempts to flee away from the cause of its pain!

The Saurian Flier on Reks bites him again, leaving the Padawan barely standing! One of the Saurian Fliers above swoops down and landing on a bothan merc and rips off one of the poor fellow arms with a powerful bite. The merc screams and falls into the mud, causing four of his companions to unleash a barrage of blaster bolts that kill the flier and send it reeling to the ground.

The lead merc curses again and pulls a grenade from his belt and "charges" it but does nothing else. Looking between the team and the Saurian Fliers still circling the area as the flash coughs out and the fliers are again fad back in the mist and fog...

Over by the landspeeder and combat speederbike, Jihahna shots the gunner, striking him square in the chest and causing him to slump back into unconsciousness! As the smoke clears about the ex-merc can hear the blaster fire back where the rest of the team disappeared and the slight muttering of Thirteen as he repeats "Oh dear or dear"



GM: Round 2, Cal fired and missed, even without disadvantage.
This Gand hit and as it was over the creatures Damage Threshold it flees, using a Double Move on its turn to fly 40+ meters back the way they had come.
Reks hit the Saurian Flier with one lightsaber for 9 damage, bring it down to 7HP total left.
Reks also takes his Second Wind and regains 7HP bring him back to 20HP total.
Kacela hit the Saurian Flier on her with her lightsaber for 13 damage, bringing it down to 3HP total. On its action, the Saurian Flier is taking the Dash action to move twice, so Kacela can take an Opportunity Attack against it if she wishes.

The Saurian Flier on Reks successful bites him for 9 damage, bring him back down to 11HP
Of the six remaining Saurian Fliers circling the team, one swoops down and kills one of the mercs. Two start circling over the team and get ready to dive bomb them next round. The other three are doing the same towards where the mercs are.

Four mercs fire at the Saurian Flier that just killed one of them and 3 hit, killing the creature.
The remaining five mercs take the Ready action, for additional Saurian Fliers to land near them.

Cass Everburn (merc leader) readies a Frag Grenade but does not use it, he appears to be desiding if he is going to throw it at the team or the Saurian Fliers.

Jihahna hit and knocked the gunner on the speederbike unconscious. Yes the bike is still running and sort of floating less then 10meters away from her.

Actions and Rolls for Round 3?
 

"How're you going Thirteen? What's up?" Jihahna yells before she moves up to the bike, she jumps into the driver seat after removing any 'excess baggage' from it.

"What's happening on your end guys?" She barks into her com-link...

She quickly turns back and yells at the droid. "Thirteen, do you or the speeder have a communicator on you?"
 

"Yes of course Mistress" Thirteen says, poking his head up from the floor of the landspeeder "But whatever for? You have a comlink. You are not leaving me are you?". If a droid can't express worry and fear, Thirteen sure is doing a good try of trying...
 

"Damn it!" Jihahna curses under her breath. "Tactically I assume it would be safer if you were left behind, but it's not fair on you to do that based on an assumption. I'm coming over. Be ready to transfer over... Same thing as before. Keep your head down."
