OOC: [sblock] Elan searches his feelings to determine if initiating a conversation with the group behind them, not immediately, but sometime within the next 10 minutes, will result in open hostility from the strangers. (DC=15, thus, automatically succeeds.)[/sblock]

For Elan [sblock]Elan feels that conversation will end unfavorably for him and the other Jedi, but that strangely it should not? … there is a disturbance in the Force, but he is not sure from where these ripples are coming[/sblock]

 

[Shalimar]

"All of the arguing was causing the miss-steps." Jade relied, looking toward the cloaked figures. "We need to have this out, I will not allow another such ... discussion to endanger our mission, but now is not the time for this."

OOC: Are any of the cloaked watchers the masked figure? Taking 10 to see if they are force sensitive (26)

OOC: Are any of the cloaked watchers the masked figure? Taking 10 to see if they are force sensitive (26)

Jade senses no other Force Sensitive beings within 100 kilometers except the one back at Popottus the Hutt palace. None of the figures are of the same shape as the 'masked figure' seen in the vision earlier. As she does this, one of the robed figures across the way hisses loudly and throws back his cloak… he is a Hiss’agoth but heavily tattooed and wearing a primitive desert temp cloak and carrying a light spear. It shouts “Do’gass vee’ten ve! A’mostta goatvas d’rrak!!!”

For ARRO only please [sblock]The Hiss’agoth shouts in one of the mountain dialects "For the Pure! Destroy the Off-World invaders!!"[/sblock]

Suddenly, other groups of cloaked figures around the landing area emerge from their hiding spaces. There are at least four groups of four or five Hiss’agoth each. All are armed with bows or light-fighting spears and daggers… and are leaping to attack!

(OCC – As Serrana and Elan where able to warn the group, no one is surprise BUT you are still flat-footed until your Initiative Order comes up.
So, please roll your Initiative AND post your characters actions. It appears that about half the Hiss’agoth are charging while the remaining ones are fighting bows.
As I am going to be out of town tomorrow I don't know if we will get everyone’s post I might hold off until Thursday to start… but good cliff hanger otherwise )

Serrana Vao, Twi'lek scoundrel 5/Jedi 1 48/48 HP

Initiative (1d20+11=24)

OOC: How far are they from the group? If they're already nearly on us, Serrana draws her lightsaber; if it looks like we've got time to set up so that melee types (i.e. the boys) would intercept anyone charging in, she draws her pistol instead, sliding the weapon to its stun setting. Also, does it look like there's any cover around?

 

[Falkus]

"You are correct, there are many things we need to discuss," Talesa said to Jade. Then, as the figures attacked, she added. "And you are also correct in that this is neither the time nor the place!"

Talesa drew and ignited her lightsaber, a silver blade snapping into existence. "Surrender! I do not wish to harm you!" she ordered, as she raised her other hand, and drew upon the force, willing the enemies weapons to come to her.

Initiative: 15

Talesa will use force disarm on the closest enemy to her, and choose to have his weapon fly to her

Use the Force: 30

 

[Shalimar]

OOC: Initiative = 1d20+11 = 29
Draws lightsaber as a move action, ignites as a swift action, readies an attack on the first to come into range (1d20+8 = 21 2D8+2 = 10 damage)

Jade sighs and grabs her light saber, igniting it and setting herself for the approach of the Pure.

 

[Caros]

Nicolas paused a moment as the creatures arrayed themselves, launching into what appeared to be a battle cry as they charged towards the assembled Jedi. He took that instant to center himself, to draw his mind into focus for the best method of combatting these creatures, for fighting as much as needed, while drawing the line between agression and defence.

Satisfied, his Lightsaber sprung into his hands, thumb pressing down on the activation stud to send the Emerald blade glittering as he faced the group nearest him, one hand outstreached, prepared.

[sblock=Combat]((Complex series of actions. First, init 29

Nicolas is readying an action to force slam if he can get two or more of them together without hitting his allies (6 square, cone attack.) Fort Defence 25, Damage 11 or 6 with save.

Finally, For simplicities sake, these are his first 3 block/deflect defences for if they matter. 30,22,9))[/sblock]

Have a fun week guys, see you on the 8th =)

Elan Xandar Renn male human jedi 6, hp 68/68

Elan drew his lightsaber, igniting it in one swift motion, raising the cobalt blade into a guarding position.

Letting go of all emotion, Elan Xandar Renn surrendered himself to the currents of the Force. He harnessed its power, redirecting its flow into a wave-like surge against one of the groups charging the Jedi position.

Combat actions: [sblock]

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 = 18

Elan draws his lightsaber as a move action. Activates it as a swift action. Then he uses Force Slam (6-square cone) against a group of the Pure (assuming he can get into a position not to hurt any of his allies). This should be the group including the Hissagoth 10-14, or most of these, if they don't spread out, preferably. If I understood the FAQ correctly, they are within range (line of sight). If I misunderstood and they need to be within 6 squares of Elan, then he just readies this action against the first group to get within 6 squares of him Force Slam 1d20+15 = 16.

If any of the allies would get hit, instead of Force Slam, he tries Force Disarm against one of the Pure armed with bows . Force Disarm 1d20 + 15 = 34

If he is attacked by anyone, he uses Block or Deflect as a reaction, here are three rolls, just in case: 21, 17, 13

R0-T4; 57/57 HP; No conditions; HBR 20/30, SR 50/50

Arro, upon hearing the cry acts quickly, drawing out the sporting rifle attached to his back with his hands while the gun arm on his back swivels over his shoulder and starts spraying the group of terrorsits straight ahead of him. Just before the stream of blasts swarms over the attackers, R0-T4 says to them in common.

"Young Masters, these Mountain Hiss'agoth believe that we are an invading force...they seem quite adamant as to hurting us."

[sblock=OOC]Initiative:30; Move Action: Draw Sporting Rifle; Swift Action: Set heavy rifle to autofire; Standard action: Shoot autofire at the square containing enemy 2, 3, 4, and 5: 24; Damage: 14=crap! To clarify, R0-T4 carries a sporting blaster rifle, the one he had to draw. He also has a reinforced tool arm with a heavy blaster rifle that's always there, ready to go-a heavy blaster rifle is the tool the arm is designed to hold. That's what's shooting up the bad guys now. I had to draw the sporting blaster rifle like a normal person.[/sblock]
