The Continued Misadventures of the Starwars Iconic Characters...

OOC: Since they haven't posted, I'm going to assume the the fellows with the blasters on shore move forward, then fire at the snake.

Sia-Lan steps backwards through the water, and Set splashes up to meet her. They both concetrate on Force, sending up a double plume of water before the snake's head [-4 VP for each of you, -4 & -1 VP to the snake]. Arani rushes forward midst the shower of riverwater, and slashes her vibroknife across the snake's throat. The knife, however, only skitters across the scaly hide of the serpent, flaking off a few scales and leaving a shallow scratch [-3 VP to the snake].

Snake turns its attention to the human with the knife, and lunges toward Arani with its fangs beared. The fangs tear through the fabric of her shirt, but only leave the smallest scratch beneath [-9 VP]. The snake slides around, wrapping its coils around Arani's legs. Unable to move quickly enough in the thick mud of the river bottom, Arani cannot escape the powerful muscles of the snake tightening around her. The snake and the woman are reduced to a writhing mass of coils and failing arms as the snake attempts to drag her underwater.

Kelko, Dorn and Rorworr advance before sending three blaster bolts sizzling into the churning water [-8, -8 & -8 VP to the snake] as Sen charges forth into the river.

Sia-Lan and Set are now in the middle of the river, still 18m away from the shore. The snake is 6m away from them both. Kelko and Sen are in the river, 6m away from shore, and 12m away from the snake. Dorn and Rorworr are on the shoreline 18m from the snake. Arani is grappled with the snake in the river.

Kelko carefully but swifty advances to the snake to try to help Arani, by if at all possible, blasting its long body with the sport rifle. If there is too much danger to Arani, the rodain will try to smash it with the butt of the rifle.
 

Kelko, just to warn you... You won't be able to get close enough to use the rifle as a club right away, unless you take a double move... And then you'd have to wait until the next round to attack anyway. Also, since Arani is grappled with the snake, there is a chance that you may hit her if you shoot from a distance.

META: Ok, the course of action I take depends on how much the snake is leaving Arani exposed. If the snake is leaving enough of Arani exposed, to give her less than 3/4 cover, in which a blaster might hit her, I will take the double move. If it is completly wraping her up and only leaving her head exposed and maybe her arms, (sort of like a saturday morning cartoon, :D) I will take the standard action of move to close the range, and then fire, (forgive me 'Rani, something has to be done. ;) ) .

If I have to take the double move, and hopefully they are still grapling above the water, could I take a point blank shot at the snake, similar to a coupe de grace?

As I understnad it, when firing a ranged weapon into a grapple, you roll the attack roll, then the GM randomly determines which grappler the attack allys to. Since the snake is so much larger than Arani, and has her wrapped her up in it's coils, I'll give a 1 in 4 chance of (possibly) hitting Arani with a ranged attack.

Also, unless a creature or character has Improved grab, they also lose any Dexterity bonus to defense against opponents they are not grappling.

No. The snake is by no means "helpless". If you were at least 2m away, you could make a normal ranged attack. If they are beneath the water, I will impose some sort of concealment penalty.

And Arani... be aware that you can use light weapons (your vibrodagger) to attack during a grapple.

:o

Arani flails desperately with her knife as she struggles with the snake.

Still at -3 to attack, chief.
 

I am here my pasty skinned friends

With a Roar of determination the Wookie hands his blaster to Dorn and grappels with the snake trying to free Arani before she freaks too badly.

OOC I don't have his stats close at hand so you'll have to figure it Jack, RL delayed me but I IS HERE NOW :D /ooc
