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

[shadowbloodmoon]

[sblock=Kesler]I was wondering if anyone was going to take notice of that. Good call. This officer is in fact wearing the 'new' Imperial uniform, gray with rank bars. You can tell he is Imperial by the clone troopers with him and the Imperial insiginia on his sleeve.

As far as Kesler fighting, staying in character and just saving his own skin is perfectly alright. Besides, it could have other benefits...[/sblock]

Bright crimson bolts shred the cantina walls as blaster fire erupts inside the small enclosed space. Tables get overturned and bodies find cover where they can.

Tal's honed reflexes allow him to take aim in the midst of the chaos and plant a shot square in the chest of one of the Imperial soldiers, sending him reeling backwards and over an upturned table.

Two other nearby soldiers attempt to punish the veteran soldier for this, but instead manage to vaporise a stool. They are then bowled over by a rampaging chained-up Wookiee.

Femi's luck, or rather his connection to the Force, allows him to dive out of the way as blaster fire threatens to make him one with the universe.

The good doctor has managed to crawl his way towards the location of Nuina and her three companions. Though they are visibly frightened, Nuina is less so, instead focusing on Kesler's words. She points to the other side of the bar, some 10 meters away. "There."

Of course, she would indicate the path that is currently littered with panicked patrons and overturned chairs and tables and let's not forget blaster fire. The doctor also catches sight of Bol, who has made a personal enemy of the Imperial officer, his blaster shot grazing the man's shoulder, evoking a grunt of pain and return fire, all ineffective on the elusive Bothan.

Round 2...

 

[Dire Lemming]

Kesler nods to Nuina and follows her finger to the door. "Ok." he makes sure that all four of them are paying attention to him before he speaks. "You're going to go for that door. Nobody is aiming for you, so just keep low and you'll be alright. Still, don't stop moving out in the open. I'll follow last and help if anyone gets stuck. Remember, keep low."


OOC: Delay action until the entire troupe makes it through the door or one of them is injured or stops for some other reason.

Man I sure hope I know what I'm doing.

Is this Imperial Officer not a clone? Has Kesler seen this type of uniform before?

 

[maddmic]

Bol searches the croud for the doctor, expecting to see the poor soul lying on the floor with a smoldering wound. He then returns his focus back to the officer and fires another shot at him.


OOC:
Initiative +3
Ranged Blastech DL-44 +5 to hit 3d8 damage
Dodge bonus still applied to imp officer as well

 

[Bobitron]

Tal grimaces as the fight continues. He had hoped that a well-placed bolt in one of the Imperial's chest would have sent the others scattering, but it appeared they were willing to stay. Swinging the rifle around to the next target, he unleashes a barrage of fire.

ooc: Multifire or whatever its called? Whatever gives the maximum # of attacks.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Femi draws his blaster and fires at the nearest Imperial soldier or the officer if he is closest. He will try to remain behind whatever makeshift cover he has found himself behind or under while firing.

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

None of the four of you have seen this new uniform before, but you are all familiar with what a clone looks like. The officer is definitely not a clone.

Kesler and his entourage are able to make it to another set of tables and then behind a thick partial wall. As long as they keep their heads low, they shouldn't get hit by any stray fire. The exit isn't too much farther.

Tal, Femi and Bol exchange shots with the Imperials, including the two that have returned from their 'distraction' outside. Even with enough energy to power a small fighter flying through the room at the same time, most of the shots managed only to put more holes in the walls or to singe any decorations the cantina used to have.

Some of the shots from the Imperials have hit some of the patrons, and Femi can feel a pull in the Force as one of them dies.

The officer attempts to duck down and retrieve something from his belt, but Bol is able to put a bolt into his arm, stopping him for the moment.

The Wookiee slams another of the troopers into a wall before attempting to help some of the other patrons out of the building.

Round 3... Good guys 5+, Imps 4 and falling.

 

[maddmic]

Bol continues to scan the scene for any signs of the doctor. Noticing that the officer tried to reach for something on his belt, he focuses his attention on putting the man down this time. Squeezing the trigger of his DL-44, he hopes that this is the final shot needed to dispatch the leader.


OOC:
He's not taking his attention away from the officer too much, but he is interested on finding the doc to see how he is faring.
Initiative +3
Ranged Blastech DL-44 +5 to hit 3d8 damage
Dodge bonus still applied to imp officer as well

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Alright, we're almost there." Kesler says encouragingly.

OOC: He'll do the same as before, making sure the others are ok before going himself. At least this seems not to be the horrible idea I was afraid it was.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Femi nearly doubles over in pain when he feels a life snuffed out through the Force. Peering out from behind his cover, he takes aim and fires at the nearest Imperial soldier. The seriousness of the situation was starting to sink in with people beginning to die around him.

 

[Bobitron]

Tal presses the advantage, trying to end the situation before any more innocents get hurt. "Come get some, Imperial dogs!"

ooc: Same attack. Is an Initmidate check helpful to get their attacks aimed at me? If so I'll try it, +6.
