The Continued Misadventures of the Starwars Iconic Characters...

[Arani Korden]

Arani points toward the smoke.

"They went thattaway. What're the odds that the Mystic Burn is in that direction?"

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan emerges from the underbrush to look towards the smoke, then quickly scans the area looking for pursuit.

"Do we want to move towards the wreck or away from it? At this point I would be happy if we weren't all standing out in the open! Can we for once hurry!"

Sia-Lan starts wading in the river heading as quickly as she can towards the path on the other shore

 

[Kelko]

"Echa! Jedi Stuborn!" Kelko then looks at Arani. "I am guessing you right about ship. But we can't let Sia-Lan go forward alone." The rodian appears from his position of concealment and while crouthing, advances to the edges of the river. Scanning the areas down stream and up at high cover, he announces to his friends, "You move. I will cover."

Kelko will scan the open areas of the river and the banks for any hostile forms or attack. He will return fire with the hunting rifle is need be.

[Arani Korden]

Sia-Lan starts wading in the river heading as quickly as she can towards the path on the other shore

"These boots are new. have I mentioned that? New boots."

Arani wrinkles her nose, and follows the crazy Jedi.

"New boots."

 

[Set Harth]

Set rises from his knees and dusts off himself. He rolls his eyes and shakes his head at Arani's comments. Thoose "boots" we're likely to last only a hundred more meters of their hike. "Ah, couldn't we go try and find the ship, I'd feel much better with my lightsabre...No? Oh well." Set falls in line with majority, There's no way he's going it alone in this unfamiliar terrain.

 

[Jack Haggerty]

Arani and Set wade into the water knee-deep, by the time Sia-Lan reaches the waste-deep water almost halfway across. Meanwhile, Kelko watches the river upstream and down, with rifle at the ready, and the others hesitate just inside the forest.

In the middle of river, Sia-Lan slips, stepping on something thick and round. It dislodges itself from the riverbed beneath her feet and rises quickly to the surface with a great splash. She feels sharp pain as something scratches her thigh through the fabric of her pants. [-11 VP] What at first she took to be a long submerged tree branch begins to twist and wrap serpentine coils about her. Stumbling, she falls backward into the water just in time to escape the curling, constricting embrace. Soaked through and gasping as the burning sensation spreading through her wounded leg, she regains her balance and stands to face a watersnake, its tongue flickering and its large diamond-shaped head raised only a few centimeters above the water.



Ok. The surprise round is over.

Wading through the water reduces your movement by 1/3rd (6m/turn), and you cannot charge or run in it. Sia-Lan is in the middle of the river, 18m away from the shore. The snake is adjacent to Sia-Lan with Sia-Lan between it and everyone else (20m from shore). Set and Arani are 12m away from the shore, and 6m from Sia-Lan. Kelko is at the shoreline, 18m away from Sia-Lan. The rest of you are just inside the edge of the forest, 10m from the shore, and 28m from Sia-Lan.

Don't worry about initiative too much. Post your combat actions.

 

[Arani Korden]

Vibrodagger in hand, Arani moves to assist Sia-Lan.

Init. +8 (if it matters), Defense 20, Attack -3 (Ouch!), damage 2d4, VP/WP 17/12.)

Arani's now really regretting not having grabbed a blaster when she had the chance. She'll attack the snake, hoping to at least distract it long enough for one of the Jedi to use some super Force power or other.

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan takes a step back and to the side, slogging in the water, and concentrates on the force to buy her some time. She thrusts out her hand before her and tries push the animal away using the power of the Force.

Init +2; Defense 17; Force Push +5

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Sen will move into the water as quick as possible. It is going to take him a few rounds to get to Sia-Lan so that is what is working towards.

[OCC: sorry it has taken so long to reply. My account finally works]

 

[Set Harth]

Set wades up next to Sia-Lan and add his own effort to hers.
Defence 17, Force Push +5
