Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

Femi dives for cover behind a chair or will even turn a table over on its side for cover if necessary. He then pulls his blaster and tries to figure out who is firing on them and from where.

Tal yells out "TAKE COVER!" as he rushes toward the wall, pressing his back hard against the wall to restrict the amount of fire coming at him. Aiming at one of the openings, he releases a shot.

ooc: +7 attack for 3d8 dsmage
 

The two of you get down out of the way as gunfire attempts to remove you of your lives. Femi takes note of at least three openings with blasters in them and a fourth that the Twi'Lek is escaping through. Femi notices that the door you three arrived in is still closed. A few shots burst off of the table that Femi is behind, but it holds.

Tal, his blaster at the ready, picks out one of the shooters and fires. The bolt impacts something on the other side and that shooter is silenced. Tal's head moves to one side as a bolt of plasma sends shards of ferrocrete and sparks flying in all directions.

The Captain has also taken cover, but instead of firing, he starts crawling after the escaping Twi'Lek. "Oh no you don't."

Next...
 

Femi takes aim at one of the two openings that are still generating blaster fire and fires his blaster, continuing to maintain cover behind the table to the best of his ability.

OOC: +3 to hit, 3d6 damage
 

Wish I had a damn grenade, Tal thinks. I'll have to get some next time I have a chan...

A blaster bolt coming particularly close interrupts his thoughts. Aming once again into an opening, he lets lose a bolt, then turns and steps confidently towards the Twi'Lek, setting a heavily-armored boot directly on his back and aiming his blaster directly at his head.

ooc: +7 attack for 3d8 dsmage. Sorry about the delay, a busy couple of days.
 

No worries, saw the post in Wing and Sword. Totally understandable.
I'm going to rule stepping on Fortuna's back as grapple action and so Tal will not be able to complete it until next turn. Luckily, the Captain has reached him already...


Tal's wild shot misses its mark, instead sending a small cloud of dust particles in random directions at extraordinary speeds. This has the effect of causing the thugs outside to miss their shots as well though as Tal reaches the escaping Twi'Lek. As he looks down, he sees Haebes' hands reach out to grab Fortuna's boots, yanking him backwards.

A goon pokes his blaster through an opening and is promptly shot by Femi, sending him reeling. A few more shots flare through the openings, but they are somewhat less in number than before. Even so, the table Femi is hiding behind is slowly become less cover and more melted plastic and metal.

Turn 3...
 

Hoping that the table will hold together just a bit longer, Femi remains behind it for cover. He will fire again at one of the openings, particularly one that he is rather certain someone is hiding in, holding his shot until someone shows themself.

OOC: +3 to hit, 3d6 damage and still behind whatever cover the table is providing at this point
 

Tal adds to Bib's discomfort with a heavily armored boot planted on his back as Haebes struggles to keep hold of the fleeing Twi'Lek. He yells something in Huttese, but the translator seems to have been destroyed in the crossfire. The shooting stops, but not before Femi drops another thug that had been firing at your group. While Haebes argues with Bib, Tal maintains a solid boot in the squirming alien's back.

As Femi tentatively appears from behind what is left of his cover, he hears some commotion coming from outside in the main part of the cantina. It would appear someone else has taken an interest in the shooting...
 

"Decision time, people. I ain't big on taking this gent hostage, but if it gets us outta Hutt territory safe I'm all for it." Tal glances down at the wriggling alien. "Then again, his worth might be next to nothing to whoever's shooting."
 

"A discreet exit might be in order," Femi says with a glance towards the main part of the cantina where the new commotion is coming from. "Take the Twi'lek or not, it doesn't matter. Let's get out of here before we have more trouble than we need."

Femi begins scanning the room for a back exit, preferably one that is directly away from the source of the commotion.
