Combat Info:[sblock]Okay...sorry for the delay, but I'm back and alive again.
So back to Lia. Though the other pilot has cover behind his chair since he's facing the other way, its not enough to prevent that crit. After looking into it in a few places beyond the books, I can't find any reference to crits and stuns being different, so I'm going to go with crits being 'normal' with stun shots. Since I can't find anything to the contrary, I'm willing to go with doubling the stun damage.
And that means P2 gets 36 stun damage...that's just enough to reduce his HP to 0 before halving it. That means he immediately drops 5 spots on the condition track and is out.
That brings up the first pilot's turn. He turns and takes a shot at Lia...but gets a 1 thanks to condition track penalties.
The Imperial in the hold is up. Due to Initiative order and all that, his action is BEFORE Deurr readies his action on the demand for surrender. And that means he's going to take a shot at Deurr...though the attack roll is a 4 so no good there.
Next up are the captives. The free one will help out with freeing the other two.
Now Deurr's up. So his action is readied in case the Imperial tries to shoot again.
I'm going to assume this means Istara doesn't shoot at him, as he's it in the hold with the only other Imp up being the first pilot...though he's a bit away from her and there's no clear shot with both Kay and Lia up there. So, Istara makes a Mechanics check to free one of the other captives, and the first of the three will provide a bonus to the check for helping. With that, she gets a 25 and just manages to get them off. K2 gets a 29, and now all 3 are free.
Viria's last and can just squeeze into the packed cockpit. Kay is in the way enough to provide the pilot with some cover. Viria's attack is a 23, which is easily enough to hit. 16 total stun damage, and that is enough to drop him to 0 HP, so he's taken down to the bottom of the condition track and out like the other pilot.
That ends the round and brings us to Kay. Only real Imperial left conscious at the moment is the Officer cornered in the hold.[/sblock]
Despite the fact that the other pilot was still facing forward and trying to fly the shuttle, Lia was able to fire a stun bolt that hit him right in the back of the head. A gasp escaped the pilot before he simply fell forward onto the control panels with a loud, painful thud.
Next to him, the other pilot shifted his gaze a moment to see the other hit the console. His movements slowed and confused, the pilot reached for something on the panel, hitting three or four switches and buttons before seemingly finding the one he was looking for. With his other hand, he managed to pick up his blaster rifle and fire a wild shot that went into the shuttle's ceiling just above where Lia stood, showering her in sparks.
Just a moment later, all of your comlinks clicked before Garret's voice cut in, "Guys? Tell me that's you in that shuttle! I think we managed to jam that distress call but there's a flight of TIEs heading right for you! We'll be in the air in a second and should be able to help you out but you better get that shuttle into hyperspace before they send more than just a few TIEs!"
While Garret was speaking, clearly unaware of the situation inside the shuttle, the Imperial in the hold tried to fire another shot at Deurr. The blaster bolt went low, catching the deckplates right at Deurr's feet and leaving a black scorch mark. But the Imperial didn't seem to care that much about missing his shot, as he turned towards the tiny corridor leading to the cockpit and yelled. The sounds he made were likely supposed to be words, but somewhere between thinking them and speaking them they were lost entirely, probably due to taking so many stun bolts and only being semi-conscious.
On the other side of the hold, Istara and K2 were working to free the other Rebel captives of their binders. It took some work, and help from the freed Duros, but Istara managed to get Ines out of her binders while K2 got the third Rebel out of his. At first, the only nodded their thanks before looking up towards the cockpit, obviously wanting to help. It was immediately apparent, though, that their help was not needed. So, instead, the three sat back against the bulkhead. While the Duros simple patted K2's dome in thanks, Ines looked to Istara, obviously recognizing her, "Thank you for that."
The young man nodded and motioned towards the cockpit, "Smart move with that armour."
Back in the cockpit, Viria squeezed her way in and lined up a shot of her own over Kay's shoulder. It was an awkward angle, but it still wasn't too hard to hit the pilot with a stun blast since he was sitting just a meter or so away and facing them. The shot was enough to bring him down, causing the pilot to slump down into his chair before nearly falling out of it completely.
