[SWSE] Strike hard for the Adamant!

[rb780nm]

Z3r0 follows the party at a short distance, trying to look like a droid that is meant to be there, so that if he is spotted he won't look suspicious.

OOC: Don't have sheet access right now - don't know my modifier, will add it when I get the chance

OOC: BUMP. I think Rainmar is gone, been three weeks.

Sonjo signals Adara to hold up a moment as she uses the Force to sense their surroundings. Then she asks quietly, "Is it much farther?"

The group makes it through without incident, though a few close calls nearly spell disaster: droid patrols getting too close, nearly finding the clones huddled on the other side of a wall. Luckily Z3r0 manages to convince them he's a harmless local droid. He gets some catcalls and whistles (blasted soldier droids), but otherwise goes unmolested.


The party gets to the site of the shield generator, a massive structure with a giant beam coming out of the top. There are droid patrols and guards surrounding the building.

Chase takes cover and looks over the group of droids guarding the entrance. "I don't think stealth is going to help us this time," the ARC trooper says as he turns to the rest of the group. "I'm not discounting another entrance, but right now this seems to be our best bet."

ooc: okay, so I can't give xp to anyone but Possum for those posts. Still, you're all winners in my book (and by book I mean the novel I'm writing about this scenario, roughly titled "George Lucas vs. the Twilek Sex Robots Volume One: Robots in Time"... (not really writing a novel about this)).

Adara nods her head. Sorry I can't do anything more for you. This is where the shield generator is, but none of my people have ever returned since being brought inside, either in through this door, or around through the back door.

Anyway, all the best! She turns as if to leave.


In front of the door to this building (the massive front doors) are a total of twelve super battle droids in groups of four (so three groups of 4 droids. Just to be clear, these are the ones with the thick bodies in Episode 2, not the skinny regular ones). There is a set of wide steps going up to the door, and on either side of the steps are one Droideka (so 2 droideka's total, the ones with the shields on them that roll up to the Jedi and shoot at them in the movies and series).

"Back door?" Chase asks, lightly grabbing Adara's arm to prevent her from leaving. "Calm down and help us out on this," he says. "Then you cna leave if you want."

OOC: Yeah, I know Super Battle Droids. Damn things took about a clip and a half to kill in the Republic Commando game. Toughest "mook" in the history of gaming, except maybe the medusa heads in the first few Castlevanias...

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: We can send Khor and Gareth on a suicide diversion.

Sonja hunkers down next to the ARC trooper, "Hmmm, if there is no back door, maybe we can arrange a distraction or diversion to draw them away."

"Or maybe we can lure some to place back there out of sight and take them out in smaller groups, in an ambush."

While they are considering their options she takes a moment to study the tactical situation before her, looking for weaknesses in the defensive layout to exploit.

Adara shrugs. Oh, okay. I figured you guys knew. There's a back door, leading into the complex. I don't know that it'll be any easier than this, but it's an option. I... I can stay, I guess, if you think you need help... She draws her pistol, waving it around a bit. Pew pew. Whatever you want.

ooc: Hrm, no suicide missions unless a player is present. I'll allow them to count as extra clones for the purposes of the clone rules I mentioned, ie: you can have them roll an attack against one monster; do Aide another actions as a group with a bonus equal to the total number of clones (so one roll for the whole party every round); or you can sacrifice one clone to take a hit for you, but taht instantly kills them. Instead of the (6?) we have, I'll add Khor and Gareth, so 8 total.

btw: I have another potential player recommended to me by someone, who's potentially interested in the game. I told him to read the thread to get caught up, then think up a character.

Diversions: you could send some clones off, but that would kill them for sure. Ditto Adara. so that would lower your total clone bonus. You're not getting clones every mission, but you could keep them with you; so it's up to you.

Super Battle Droids: I'm going right out of the book. Considering how the group took out the entire group of guards last fight in one round, I doubt you'll die outright. Still, we'll see how well they (and two Droidekas) do against our clones and your characters.

Chase releases Adara's arm as she supplies the information. "We're not from around here, you know," he states to her. He looks to the others. "I'm going to go and try and scout the back door of the place and see if it's any less guarded. We are going to have to fight these clankers eventually though, but I don't like doing it on their terms..."

 

[fireinthedust]

ooc: ooooooh... okay, so total roll with FP of 17. Hrm. I could roll for individual droids (virtually guaranteeing success for me due to numbers), but instead I'll just roll for types: Once for the battle droids, once for the droidekars, as they have different perception skill modifiers.
