“Hold it right there or I blow the ship!” yelled Imperial Captain Baruba.

Gand, seeing that his partners several meters ahead comply to the Captains orders, does so as well. Lanik, The Rodian pilot who moments ago shot down Captain Baruba, keeps his blaster pistol trained on the Captain. Casque, the ever so trigger happy Bounty Hunter keeps his sights on the Captain as well. Vezu, as Gand would like to be called someday, realizes that there is way too much ground to cover to do anything else at the moment other than survey the scene.

Captain Baruba, with blaster pistol and detonator in hand, stares at the group with the look of determination. This will end his way. From behind, Gand hears the hum of a speeding craft. Realizing that Rand and Krith are unaware of the Captains orders, he watches in fear of what is about to happen.

Krith poised on the hood of the speeder as it bears down on the Captain, Gand cringes at the thought. Captain Baruba dives to the side to avoid both the speeder and the vibroaxe wielded by Krith dropping the detonator.

With the deafening explosion of the Imperial ship in the distance, Gand takes cover behind a rock hoping that it will be enough. What was it Gri Vashi said, “There are enough explosives here to blow a crater in this moon a kilometer wide?” Yea that is what she said.

Waiting for one’s death when you know it is seconds away is an eternity. There it is. First it was a blast of searing hot wind blowing his hat off. ****, Gand loved that hat. Next was the debris. There were mostly small parts, but there were larger pieces to contend with as well. Then there was the calm. Man was that spooky.

Then it hit him. Torque, Gri Vashi and several slaves were still on that ship… all dead. Gand sat back on the rock that just recently saved his carapace. Picking up his slightly singed hat, Gand wonders if it was his fault that all those people are now one with the force. What could he have done differently? Why did the Captain make the situation what it was? Surely there was a different way to get the protocol droid from us? Now there were so many unanswered questions.

Gand came back to the scene after hearing Lanik’s blaster go off. Gand figured he must have finished off Baruba.

Queue the rain.

This was the ending of our last session. I left a lot of stuff out to keep it short, but you get the point.

Gand, my character, will be taking 5 obligation to represent the impact that such a failure has on him. There will be some other interesting RPing issues to resolve due to this as well. I'll keep people posted if you are interested.

This one isn't mine, but Manny's (Bothan Politico):

The assassin saw both my and Pash’s terrible marksmanship and drew the most obvious conclusion – that Manny was the most dangerous man on the field – and took aim. Fortunately, years of evading direct questions during inquiries into "fiscal irregularities" had prepared our Bothan well – the beam of the assassin’s disrupter rifle struck naught but foliage.

This one happened on Sunday, by mistake:

I may have signed my crew up for a suicide mission.

One of the things my crew did on Ryloth was set up Oskara's sister Makara as head of a spice mining operation. Her smuggling contacts have recently been having trouble with pirates. Well, one pirate with a prequel-era Trade Federation... doughnut-ship.

So we set up a deal to sell a droideka to one of the pirate's underlings, then followed him back to his shuttle, done everyone but the underling in, and are currently planning in piloting the shuttle back to the doughnut.

At which point it's looking like the four of us plus the droideka vs. everything on board (and, as it turns out, much of the dangerous stuff we've been selling has ended up in the pirate's arsenal).

I've led us into this situation completely independent of promise of reward. I'm having Oskara do it to protect her sister's business, but no NPC has asked us to do this (in fact, our Hutt benefactor may be mad at us), so I'm not sure what their motivation is, given the risk. I've pushed to keep the story moving along quickly, so it may just be that they've been swept along.

Huh. At least there'll be plenty of loot, should we survive.

As the shuttle exits the atmosphere the doughnut ship comes into view. They hail you and instruct you to land in bay 3. Suddenly your panel lights up like a Christmas tree and klaxons sound throughout the shuttle as three star destroyers jump into the system and begin to converge on the pirate ship. Before you can react, you're told to rendezvous at point theta and the pirate ship jumps away. Leaving you sitting in space with three ISDs heading your way.

Where is point theta? Where did the pirates go? What are the heroes going to do now that the pirate ship is gone? How are they going to get away from the imps?

Just for clarification, I'm a player, not the GM.

That would be a badass complication, though.

(We keep accidentally helping the Empire out though, so they may just want to give us our Iron Cross.)

In the last session (final battle on Raxus Prime) our Marauder (hiding in junk on the ceiling) tossed a thermal detonator into an imperial shuttle with the intent of blowing up the ship...

Then the detonator came bouncing back to the door near all the storm troopers, and the Marauder. (Not a good throw.) But the Marauder detonated it anyways.

Making a mess of him, the storm troopers, and a shuttle.

Is droids and detonator's becoming a thing? (last post)

Oh and the last thing your droid should say is, "I see the blue screen..."

I've been in the habit of allowing the droid to make the odd backup before entering danger. Of course at this rate he's looking more like Bob on Black Hole especially after jumping into Besh-34 with a grenade. (By rights Droids should have 4 spare body sets just in case. My living characters practically need a bacta spa.)

I ran into my old Imperial Black Ops commander when breaking out a female force sensitive twi'lek from an Imperial prison. He said Magnus we thought you were dead. I replied Legends never die. Then threw the twi'lek over my shoulder and ran like hell. Needless to say my party was like WTF since I never told them about what I did prior to rescuing the Wookie from slavery and becoming a Bounty Hunter.
