Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

[dead_radish]

*Wryy blinks in confusion, then nods in understanding as people begin floating across. In order to save on effort, he again scans the other end of the chasm for something he could anchor a grappling hook too, as he'd rather be out of the way when the weapons fire starts.*

Cai easily catches the small liquid cable dispenser, yelling back, "I don't need it! I can send Wrry and Skyka across myself! Just try to catch them, just in case!"

She then stashed the small item in a pocket and moved over to Skyka to use the Force to lift her across. But before she could focus enough, a loud noise echoed through the canyon from above. Quickly looking up, you all see a sudden flash of bright green as a large turbolaser fires. The blaster misses the small ship on the other side of the canyon, instead hitting the wall twenty or so meters above and sending rocks and dust flying everywhere in a deafening explosion.

Through it all, the humming of another turbolaser can still be heard. Which means there are more than just one of them. Just as the sound of the turbolaser blast hitting the rock wall dies away, you all hear another, familiar voice, "Aerek, Bud'd! Get in the ship now, and one of you get to the damned controls!"

A moment later, you see Master Kanas bolting past the two of you, the Force flowing around him as it propels his body at lightning speed. His feet went right over the gap in the bridge, andafter blinking, you could see the complete bridge there. Roughly, Master Kanas pushed both Cai and Wrry'ethh towards the ship.

He knelt next to Skyka just as she regained consciousness, and after a short check to make sure nothing was broken, Master Kanas picked her up(whether she liked it or not), and started after the rest of you.

((...who's heading for the ship's controls? Also, giving anyone a chance to do something else. Note that the ship also does have one turreted laser cannon, so if anyone wants to get to the and return fire, make sure to post that. If none of you want to pilot it, Cai can(as its her ship), but I'd prefer a PC to fly.))

Aerek helps his head-tailed friend up to the cockpit (since she's a much better pilot than he is).

"You better take the controls," he tells her, taking a gunner's chair. "I'm the wrong Nexia for fancy flying."

Power up the weapons; target the gun that's shooting at us.

*Wryy'ethh runs at top speed across the bridge, leaping in to the ship, and sees Aerek manning the guns.*

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 6)

Though she would normally object to Master Kanas carrying her back to the ship Skyka, in her dazed confusion, tightly clutched him as she replied weakly, “Sorry… Master.”

 

[deadestdai]

(Is Barrick still in the ship? Or am I way behind where he's concerned?)

Blinking in surprise, Bud'd attempts to shake her head clear of the pain and cloudiness and frantically works on the ship's controls. Once she's sure that all are aboard, she'll bring up the shields to full (If she can, otherwise she'll shout for someone to do so.) and fire up the engines to rocket them away from the area and back to the camp jinking and juking to avoid being hit by any laser fire. Buckle in! I may be able to fly this thing, but I'm a little unfamiliar with it's controls.

This is going to be scary. She thought as she turned the vessel to leave the canyon.

**OOC: gulp My Pilot skill may be +6, but using this unfamiliar ship gives a -4 to my rolls.... Let's hope those turbolaser gunners aren't good shots. **

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Cai and Master Kanas(carrying Skyka), quickly follow the group into the ship. Kanas takes Skyka to the small cabin and sits her down in one of the seats, "No apologies. We'll talk about this later."

Bud'd doesn't have too much trouble with the controls of the ship, managing to get the repulsorlifts online and bringing the ship up and over the top of the canyon, giving you a good view of the area around, and notably, the top of the Temple.

On each corner of the square shaped peak, is a single turbolaser turret, and you can even see the gunners in a side seat as the weapons rotate up and fire on you.

((Only the two farthest cannons can fire. First attack is a 13. Misses. Second attack is a 19. Close, but still a miss.))

Two green bolts of energy shoot up from the two farthest of the turrets. The first shot falls far too low, as the gunner was obviously already firing before Bud'd brough the ship up. The shot strikes the canyon wall again, but would have likely hit the ship had it not moved. The turbolaser shot from the other is closer, and for a moment, the entire front viewport flashes green as the bolt goes right in front of you, then off into the atmosphere.

((Aerek can take a shot at any of the four turrets, now, as the ship's cannon is a turret mounted and can hit all angles. After that is the next 'round', and Bud'd acts first.))

 

[drothgery]

Aerek fires at the nearest turret. This would be child's play for Lysa, but I've got to do it... He thinks.

(I think he can still get two attacks, though his modifiers aren't going to be good...)

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 6)

Never one to accept being on the sidelines, even in her weakened condition Skyka had a hard time sitting in the cabin but under the close watchful eyes of the old Jedi Master it was she had no choice but to accept it.

Then again, with her eyes closed and a slight trickle of blood still flowing from her nose, she was in no condition to object but she did manage to break the silence as she tried to ignore her uselessness, “Master? Not all of my people are dead…”

 

[deadestdai]

*Sorry it took me a wee while to reply - was reading up on my starship rules! **

Bud'd darts a glance back to the crew area. Someone get up here and work on the shields! I need them at... A hacking cough interrupts her torrent for a moment. I need them full power and angled aftward! The pilot does her best to get the ship out of range of the turbolasers as quickly as possible, offering only the rear of the vessel as a (Hopefully smaller) target in the process, by flying directly away from the temple. As a side side thought, she pipes up again with a slight grimace of pain from her prior injuries, And someone get on the sensors! I need to know what else is out here and if the Lost have sent pursuit vessels out after us!

GM:

Spoiler

Flying Fully Defensively (+4 Dodge to Def, -8 Att) away at Attack Speed (+2 Dodge to Def, -2 Roll/Check Mod) and Hopefully others will step in to do their parts (Shields double rear and a general snesor sweep or whatever) :/ (So in total, Pilot +6 flying at Attack speed + full defensive = +6 Def, -10 Att, -2 Roll/check Mod).
