Type: Combat
Players: 2 Groups of 4

Imperial Scouts have begun their search for your base. While they have not come close to finding it yet, Mandalore has deemed strategically important that attacks are launched well outside of the area of the base in order to get the Imperials to focus on somewhere else, giving you all more time to determine how to deal with them.

Objectives are as follows:

1) Ensure communication of attack is sent out by enemy before eliminating them.
2) Leave fake evidence of a potential encampment in the area.
3) Exit before reinforcements arrive.

Oya!

Players: When entering this thread, please roll Cool for initiative. You may optionally also roll a Stealth check in order to potentially ambush the targets a at a average difficulty, upgraded twice. Success on this roll will allow you to add a bonus dice to your first attack roll, while a triumph will allow you to upgrade it. On a failure, a setback dice is added to the roll and a Despair will upgrade the difficulty. Advantages and Threats will be ignored for this roll.

Signup will end Sunday morning @ 8AM EST.

Mandalore called and Fé answered, as always. She was surprisingly quiet in her armor and despite the heavy weapon she carried.

A Merry Chase, MM, Init: 1eP+2eA 1 success, 3 advantage


A Merry Chase, MM, Stealth: 4eA+2eC 1 success, 1 threat

While Suis was not the best ambusher outside of water he was more then competent enough to follow Mandalore's will in this mission. He reminded himself to get upgrades to his armor, however.

The gungan had his guns ready when he found a place to wait for the imperial scouts.

''Guys'' he whispered in the team's comms ''I got an idea''


Merry chase 1: init roll, cool: 2eA+2eP 3 successes, 4 advantage

Merry chase 1: Stealth, Recon armor: 2eA+1eP+1eB+2eC 2 successes, 2 threat, 1 Triumph

(triumph used to find a location to use as a false lead?)

After hearing Suis'louche's words, Fitz's initial reaction was to reach out to respond silently through his Gank implant. A passing moment of realization had him switch to the comlink built into his other implant for a verbal, "Yes?"

Wounds: 0/18
Strain: 0/12
Soak: 5
Defense: Melee 4 Ranged 4 (with shield out)

D1, MM, A Merry Chase 1, Cool Initiative: 1eA 1 success


D1, MM, A Merry Chase 1, Stealth: 4eA+2eC 2 successes, 4 advantage

Advantages to sneakily set up a proton grenade on a tripwire in the area we're ambushing the Imps? Maybe also having the effect of making them think we are deeply embedded in the area with traps and such?

She'd heard the big guy was looking for people to fight some imps so Lysa signed right on up.

She snuck through the area with the group but she was having a devil of a time. Twigs breaking and other rustlings.

"Kriff this. I'll be a distraction guys" she said exiting the cover and shouting down to the recon party "hey poodoo heads! Over here!"

-----------------
D1 MM combat cool: 1eP+1eA 2 successes, 2 advantage


D1 MM combat Stealth 2 upgrades: 1eP+2eA+2eC 1 failure, 2 advantage


Failed to sneak but use advantage to lure them right into our trap!

Wounds 0/16
Strain 0/14
Soak 5
Defense: R 1, M 1

As you all manage to get into your respective positions for your ambush, Lysa chooses to meet the foe head on, giving the rest of you ample opportunity to prepare your assault.

As luck would have it, a large squad of stormtroopers were on doing a routine search in the woods when they heard Lysa's rustling. "Might be a animal, go check it out." Said the Sergeant, motioning a few of the troopers over there. As they approach, it becomes clear that Lysa's colorful approach to her armor was not best suited for tactical stealth operations.

"Contact!" Shouts one of the troopers and the others begin to swarm. "

PC's Turn!

Lysa ran up, the manic grin on her lips covered by the helmet. So all the troopers saw was a explosion of colors that was her armor and the featureless Visage of the mandalorian helmet as she charged them and leveled the cspl launcher at them.

The small device flew through the air striking a trooper in the head before it exploded with a massive blast of concussive force throwing bodies and smashing armor.

A little giggle would be heard over the comms.

Fé snuck around to flank, moving closer...

Two maneuvers to move from Long to Medium

Wounds 0/15
Strain 2/13
Soak 6
Defense: R 1, M 1

[Edited to reflect that it takes two Maneuvers to move from Long to Medium and vice versa]

The Sergeant, seeing his entire group of minions get blown up, quickly aims his blaster rifle at the colorful Mando and retaliates. "We got incoming! Keep a eye out for others!" The other two scouts nod their heads and look around while their leader stars to shoot Lysa.

~~
Now that we all know it takes 2 maneuvers to move from long to medium, lest you have a jetpack strapped on your back, Lysa would not have been able to aim on that second maneuver. Hardly matters, though, since one of the bonus die was a blank, so it all works out in the end.

In Which the Sgt Goes Pew Pew: 2eP+1eA+1eB+2eD+1eS 2 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph


12 Wounds before soak

Triumph Spent to Crit
Sgt Crit: 1d100 24 Off-Balance: 1 setback to next skill check
Advantage spent to boost next NPC roller.

PC's Turn

Seeing Lysa very effectively wipe out the majority of the Imps with a well placed grenade, Fitz quickly sets aside his thoughts of setting up a trap and changes tactics to a frontal assault.

Slinking forward through the woods, still undetected to his knowledge, he singles out one of their scouts. Stepping out of the foliage, Fitz quickly lines up the laser sight of his CryoBan and takes a shot before bringing his shield to bear.

The scout would see a red dot appear on their body before feeling the impact and shock as heat is rapidly sucked away from his body.

Stun damage, 6 + 5 successes + 2 deadly accuracy = 13 strain damage, pierce 5
1 advantage to trigger ensnare 1
2 advantage to recover 2 strain
3 advantage for 2 boosts to next PC

The Scout trooper is covered in ice and goes into shock, falling on the ground to the horror of the others. "You bastards!" The scout trooper shouts, shooting at Fitz...until it was clear that it would hardly matter with that shield, so he took another shot at Lysa, who looked much easier to hit and had explosives.

Though, it hardly mattered, since he was clearly all nerves. Maybe next time, someone else would be able to do it. He went behind cover of the trees soon after.

~~
Scouty Go Pew Pew (Again): 1eP+2eA+1eB+2eD+1eS 0 successes, 2 advantage


2 Advantages spent to boost Sgt., Maneuver spent to go into cover (+1 Setback to hit)

PC'S GO!

The last mandalorian swiftly moved out of hiding and performed a combat roll to put himself into position to take down the the last active veteran scout, as he was more likely to identify any of the misdirection they had intended, while doing a distraction for his team.

Suis'louche successfully sneaks up behind the scout and puts a few blasters in his back. Barely alive and his armor blasted to hell, he realized this was going to be a losing battle.

PC's Turn!

Finishing her flanking maneuver near the Sergeant, he suddenly found himself engulfed in flames. He couldn't see the fierce grin on the face of the warrior who attacked him.

Next allied check is upgraded once and gets +1boost

Sarge's last attempt at doing something is grabbing a grenade and throwing it at the woman who sent him ablaze.

For all the good it did him. Goes wild and explodes elsewhere, far away from the intended target.

The scout, not liking being shot at by the Gungan, returns fire at him with a palatable hit! At least he'd go down shooting.

PC'S turn till the end of the round

Fitz moves to engage the next target, painting the Sergeant with his laser sights, before Fé lights him up. Knowing his CryoBan will extinguish the fire and put the Sergeant out of his misery, Fitz shifts his sights over to the scout who is firing at Suis'Louche. Taking a moment to aim, he lets out a precise shot intended to disable the trooper scout before steadily advancing on his targets, shield and rifle out and ready for retaliation.
