Round 3, cont'd
Still holding her lightsaber at the ready, Kacela holds her free hand over a small tube shaped container on her belt. A slim, black obling sphere pops out as if on its own volition and rises into her hand. The Jedi presses a smalls switch on the device as she raises it over her head...it makes a green light turn on, and the object emits a high pitched beep.
Then she throws it at a spot just between the damaged war droids. When it hits the ground, the grenade explodes into a bright flare of induction sparks, and St Elmo's Fire burns harmlessly along the metal superstructure of the station's floor, walls and ceiling. A blue-white pulse of electromagnetic energy surges out from it in a wave, engulfing the nearby droids before fading away.
#6's shields blink out of existence as the droid struggles to stay on its feet, while the shields on #7 and #9 are visibly weakened.
[sblock=ooc]
(Throwing Ion Grenade at the grid intersection of the lines between 8 and 9, and between K and L...a 2 square explosion from there should affect 7, 6 and 9 I believe, while leaving Kacela out. Attack roll: 32!! That's a natural 20!

Shifting his aim, Hawke follows Martina's lead and concentrates fire on her target. Another careful shot from his blaster sears one of the remaining war droids.
"Threat level moderate, my ass!"
And with that Hawke blows away the last of #3's shields, and just barely fails to destroy the droid entirely.
[sblock=OOC]Firing at 3 if it's still active, 6 if it's not, and 7 or 9 if 6 is also inactive. He'll move if needed to take a shot, though I think his LOS is clear to 3.
Attack and damage rolls (1d20+9=24, 3d6+5=15) Rolls include Point Blank Shot - I had thought it was the same as D&D, so I hadn't been applying it. Whoops.[/sblock]
"You should have 'known better'?" Sianni asks, turning to Devan.
"We gotta talk about about ... YEOUCH!!! You bastard, that's real bantha leather," she screams as one of the energy darts pierces her vest (and shoulder). Swiveling to adjust her aim in order to pay the droid back for ruining her outfit, Sianni finds in her sights ... Theta.
Great! Have they rehearsed stepping into my line of fire or what?
With a sigh she lets loose at the only other droid she can target without firing through the Mandalorian.
Two of her shots hit the previously undamaged droid, moderately damaging the droid itself and leaving its shields flickering in and out.
[Sblock=OoC]
3 shots at droid #5 (1d20+9=26, 1d20+9=16, 1d20+9=24);
Damage (3d8+5=20, 3d8+5=20, 3d8+5=16)
Just as any FYI - the droid thinks it knows Devan's capabilities; it's just placing Hawke in the range of a random Republic naval officer.

Theta tenses slightly as he notices Sianni pointing her weapon at him before shifting her aim to fire at another droid. Seeing his previous target downed by the battle droid on their side, Theta pivots slightly on the balls of his feet to bring his rifle around to aim at the one who came forward and made the tactical analysis. Taking in a breath, he lets it halfway out before holding it and slowly squeezing the trigger while sighted in right at the chest plate.
"You need a new threat designation level: Terminal." Theta says quietly and without emotion.
#1's shields absorb most of the powerful shot, but it still leaves the droid moderately damaged, its shields weakened, and looking like its not quite reacting as quickly as it was before.
[sblock=OOC]
Aimed Point Blank Shot at droid #1 (1d20+16=22, 4d8+5=25)
Note: Enemy Threshold -5.
Thanks for the note about PBS, I didn't realize all the ranges were in squares instead of feet like in D&D. Helps to know I can shoot up anything in this room with impunity.

The Ithorian did not respond to the droid's comments, but the pain of the attack caused him to act reflexively. He moved behind Theta, and as his left hand clenched into a fist, the nearest droid seemed to strain against something unseen.
The red droid, however, does seem to take offense.
"Threat: This model is quite capable of melting you into slag!" Stomping forward, two more blasts of its rifle fired! Unfortunately, the droid missed; for all the damage #5 had taken from Sianni, it didn't seem like he'd been slowed down any.
[sblock=OOC]Tomalor will use
force grip on Droid #1. Target says 6 squares or LoS, so I'm not sure if our boy will have to move first; if so, he'll go to L2.
Use the Force check. (1d20+18=19). Aitch will move to M3,
PB Rapid Shot @ #5: Hits Defense 17, 13 dmg
Tomalor's immobilized #1, but didn't do enough damage to get through its shields.
[/sblock]
"Nothing sinister. Just going by observed performance, given the known energy outputs of my pistol relative to Martina's rifle and the more standard-issue weaponry you and your friends appear to be carrying." Devan says in response to Sianni's comment. "However, now that my wife and the Jedi have done something about that shield problem..." A spurt of plasma fires from his pistol, and droid #6 collapses to the ground.
OOC: And I'll get the bad guys actions and new map later; I've got to get to work eventually
