There are 10 Pykes (to clarify, these are actual Pykes) counting the ones holding the safe. They are all armed with blaster pistols like you found in the desk. One of them has a more ornate mask that does not cover his whole face. Similar to those worn by Tarrk and Kasra.

ok, The team will move in, once in range, Falmok will fire rockets at the repulsor. Once that is disabled, and as long as Tarrk, and that group aren't in that area, Falmok can continue with rocketing/flame/carbine the 10 minions. Darien will probably pepper Tarrk's group with Stun shots... Cade will assist as needed/able.. mostly the large minion group once he gets close.

what are the specs on the Pyke pistol? Cade is probably going to fight with that and Bes'kad.

Ranged (Light) 7 3 medium stun setting. Just a Heavy Blaster Pistol with artistic flare.

Since you're coming in hot, please roll initiative using Cool with a Boost (Falmok can still use Survival).

Falmok gets a free maneuver.

like after firing rocket, free maneuver: reload ?

He doesn't actually have any spare rockets, by the way.

An immediate free maneuver, which he takes before his turn.

No extra rockets? crud, ok... what kind of maneuvers would benefit/ help the dice pool for a rocket strike?

Aim. If you are trying to take out the controls on the repulsorcraft it would require a Called Shot Aim maneuver which adds 2 Setback to your roll. Aiming twice in a row reduces that to 1 Setback, so you could Aim with your free maneuver and then Aim again on your turn.

I just dont want the important Pykes getting away.. you think it would be better to just launch into the minion crowd?

It's up to you. What do you think Falmok would do?

I'll just have him shoot the crowd.. we might be able to use the repulsor later..

You can Aim to gain a Boost when you fire, but there aren't really any other maneuvers I can think of that would be helpful to you in this situation.

ok,

Falmok; Aim, Rocket attack the minion crowd.

The first first initiative slot goes to a group of Pykes (3).

Maneuver: Aim
Action: Shoot at Cade: Shooting at Cade: 2eP+1eB+1eD+1eS 1 success, 1 threat, 1 Triumph

Ouch, they hit for 8 damage (1 past soak) and with the Triumph they trigger a crit, and with the Threat they take 1 Strain.

Crit roll:Critical Injury: 1d100 16

16 = Easy: "Distracted" the character may not perform a free maneuver during his next turn. Please add this injury to Cade's sheet under "Critical Injuries & Conditions"

It is now the first PCs turn.

Falmok , AIM, rocket strike on large minion group

Easy with 2 Boost (free maneuver aim, free maneuver on turn aim).

: 1eA+2eP+2eB+1eD 1 success, 4 advantage

Nice, 8 damage (7 Blast) and you can trigger blast with 2 of the Advantage.

What do you want to do with the 2 Advantage? Critical hit (killing one of them), free maneuver, grant a boost to specific ally, grant a Boost to next ally and recover 1 Strain, pass a Setback onto their next check.

kill one.. did the rocket hit the car/truck or crowd?

It hit the crowd.

Ok, Darien, stun to Dax.
