I guess a lightsabre won't do...

That's interesting ... I just looked up the squad(ron) rules in RotSep, then the AoR GM Kit. The RotSep version is missing both the squad Mission Specialist formation and the squadron Skilled Navigator formation. Regardless, if our GM okays it then that's to our advantage.

Does Condor (or anyone else) have the necessary tools?

And can Condor get it done during the second "in between combat" round (before the third combat begins)?

No tools unfortunately, however I’m not sure if it’s the best idea to try opening it that quickly. With 2 droidekas now and more on the way, better we have the door at our backs so we’re not getting shot at from two directions. The droidekas attacks are gunnery, so they can’t use them on you once you’re engaged, so your lightsabers really might be the best way to deal with them safely.

Errr, lightsabre? The glowstick which Mireska uses to Reflect energy attacks? The one which she would use in a fight with only YG?

(I actually do intend to make her better with it, but that needs a lot of xp for which I'm only just now starting to save up.)

It's Ker'see who's the Ataru-h***-on-wheels-with-6-Agility-and-who-knows-how-many-skill-ranks.

More seriously, there are more droidekas coming in than just those two first-comers. If we get the blast doors open without destroying the mechanism, then we could close them (permanently?) from the other side. There could be many more droidekas on board, all starting to converge on us. We need to reach the bridge as fast as possible, and not get pinned down in a long-running firefight.

Is Elsee around, or do we just assume that she's hiding like a sensible astromech slicer?

Yes (to both)

From that comment I can only assume that she's not available for slicing the blast door control panel.

I'd ok it... and no it would not be done/completed before the droideekas show up

She was staying completely behind cover. Yes she is available.

That's a relief!

That means that Condor and his ARCs are not tied up with the Mission Specialist formation, and that Mireska can do something else. Like defend Elsee from the Droideka blasts?

Sure.

So, are we waiting on anything else or should we get this show on the road?

Alpha Squad, now down a man, returns fire at the B1 group.

Fires at B1 Minion Group (Medium Range, takes maneuver to aim)) : 3eD+3eS+1eB+3eP+2eA 1 success, 1 Triumph

11 Damage + Triumph = 2 Kills

Beta Squad Fires at the same minion group.

Fires at B1 Minion Group (Medium Range, takes maneuver to aim)) : 2eD+1eB+3eP+2eA 3 successes, 2 advantage

13 Damage + 2 Advantage (2 Boosts to the next character) = 1 Dead droid. 3 B1s left.

Wraith Autofire Attacks the B2 group

Autofire Attack on Super Battle Droids at medium (2 boosts from Beta, 1 Boost from Aim Maneuver)) : 4eP+3eD+3eB 2 successes, 6 advantage

16 Damage + 3 Extra Hits = 4 B2s down.

Sgt. Scrap attacks the b1s.

Fires at B1 Group at medium (1 boost from aim) : 1eA+2eP+2eD 2 successes, 2 threat, 1 Triumph

12 damage + Triump = 2 B1s down. 1 left. 2 Threat.

Agh! Looks like I messed up Alpha Squads pool. Let me know if you want me to re-roll that one. Looks like I added 1 extra difficulty and ability dice each. Fun stuff.

Edit: And, I didn't add that last boost from the aim maneuver. I'm on fire tonight.

Missing Boost : 1eB 0 successes

I think that we're ready.

As far as I can tell, the bridge group has 4 initiative slots before the two droidekas can act. How about Condor/the ARCs and the CTs take the first two, then we see what's left for Ker'see (either ranged or lightsabre) and Mireska (lightsabre or whatever's necessary).

@EliasWindrider alright, unless @MrTInce has any objections, I believe we're set up and ready to go.

@AnomalousAuthor

Good to see that the engineering group is doing relatively well on the hangar deck!

Will you posting an IC version?

I was thinking about doing one after the next round is resolved.

Go ahead and post, don't wait... we can keep 2 threads separate.

Well, here goes nothing.

Maneuver - Close position

Close Formation : 3eP+1eA+1eB+2eD 4 successes

Maneuver - 2 strain, aim

Action - Fire at Droideka

Auto-Fire Attack in Droideka : 5eP+1eA+2eB+2eD+1eC+2eS 6 successes, 1 threat

18 damage with pierce 1 makes 11 damage, leaving the Droideka with 7 health remaining. I’ll have Condor take a strain for the stress of not managing to take down any of the Droidekas before they get their shield up, unless you want something different Elias.

@Bellona if you still want to go next with your CT’s, you’re up.

That was the plan, they do have to enter on their turn though... that turn will be they roll in and shield up... purposes letting PCs attack before the droideekas attack because of initiative results though

Btw let me know when you're ready for the droideekas to roll in (I'm home sick today... stomach flu)

I'm not quite sure what you meant by this.

I believe he just means we can’t actually attack them before they shield up, but we do get to attack them first and have a chance to take them down before they get to make an attack.

It’s up now.

@MrTInce

I suggest that Ker'see take the next initiative slot.

Okay. Ker'see will drop the launcher and force leap as a maneuver to the damaged droid.

Enhance : 3eF 2 Light Side, 2 Dark Side

Quick draw as incidental the lightsabre and slash.

Lightsabre slash : 3eP+3eA+1eC+1eD+2eS 1 success, 1 advantage, 1 Despair

10 damage breach 1 which finishes the droid. One advantage to pass on a boost.

How do you want to spend the despair?
