Mission One - Gameplay

[PX]IronFist · Post by **[PX]IronFist** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 3:20 am

Saku - You run over to the big launch doors on the back of the shuttle and begin tearing down the combination of leaves, branches, and netting which only moments ago you had caringly placed to camoflauge the ship. You punch in the door code and enter the shuttle...smoke begins to slowly filter into the bay as you power up the first speeder. As it's booting up from the state of lockdown it was placed in before you left you grab a swig of water out of a canteen in a neaby survival pack and start powering up the second speeder. You peer out of the back of the ship into the woods through the rapidly thickening smoke. A man stumbles into view and collapses about 100m from the ship. It's James.

Sorall - Saku begins opening the back doors of the ship. They make enough noise that the sound of the fighters is quickly drowned out. You say your piece to Geno and Marius and then return to scanning the woods. The smoke partially obscures your view but after several moments you see a man about 100m into the forest. He turns to look at you and then collapeses to the ground. It looks like Lightmarker.

Liox - Your shoot is rapidly disintegrating and you are falling fast. It has become a glorius blaze of reds and oranges as the fire eats away more and more by the second. Bexdox is receeding farther and farther into the distance above you.
You look down and see the cool blue water rushing up to meet you. You are now about 100m above the water.

Shintu - You report to Marius and then await further orders.

Vivian - Jardon frowns.
"I thought there might be a chance you saw their ship after you met up with them...I don't have a ship myself, I came here by way of a Corellian cargo vessel as part of my undercover operation."
He scans the almost empty bay.
"There doesn't seem to be much choice as far as stealing goes, the only ships left are those two Z-95 headhunters over there in corner, and they are single pilot craft. Plus we would have to distact those guards."
He points to the group of guards near the center of the bay.
"What do you think?"

Rain - The ships respond.
"In that case prepare to be boarded. Halt your vessel and wait for the Stardestroyer to tractor you in."
You stop the ship and head back into the aft cabin to see how Narvek is doing. He is laying on a bunk unconscious, moaning painfully to himself. You kneel down beside him, take out a medical kit, and try to asses his injuries.

Narvek is Wounded, it will be an easy First Aid roll to heal him.
Your First Aid is 2D+2
You roll a 12

You deftly use the kit to repair the hole in his chest and bring him back to consciousness. Narvek opens his eyes and looks at you.
"What the hell happened"

The ship shudders slightly - the tractor beam has a hold on you, and it's pulling you in.

Marius - You give your orders as Saku opens the bay doors. The fighters sound like they are in the distance now and you wonder how things are going out on the lake. You try once again to raise Marissa on the com, this time she responds.
"I managed to reach the beach and gather up my gear, the fighter pilots have ejected but one of them was shot by a TIE figher. I don't know how injured he is, but his parashoot seems to be on fire. That's all the info I have right now, but I wouldn't be supprised if those TIE's come around for another pass - there is a good bet the empire knows we're here"
You see some motion about 100m into the woods infront of you. You can make out a man, and you recognise him just before he collapses to the ground. It's Lightmarker.

Bendox - You grab your com off your belt and try to get in contact with sparky. There is a garbled response and you can't undstand it - but he must be getting closer.
Liox is far below you now, and his parashoot seems to have all but disintegrated. You are about 180m above the water.

I look at Narvek... and say (start off kind of slow) "Do you and the Empire get along???" "Because we are on our way into a Stardestroyer..."

"They where waiting for us right out side the docking bay there was nothing I could do the ship could not take a hit from them if we tried to run.."

"I am on ok terms with the empire but how do you stand with them??"
"Think you can talk our way out of this mess??"

"and you got any ideas?"

I look at Marius, and say, "I'm going to get Lightmarker. We may need cover fire."

I listen for any response from Marius, and run quickly through the forest, using trees for cover where possible, still keeping an eye out for stormtroopers.

I relax and allow the force to flow through me. I allow the force to guide my actions, and Jump when it feels like the proper time.

"Jardon why don't we steal the Z-95 headhunters! Instead of make a distraction we could just sneek over there climb it and take off. The only problem is you'll have to lead because i don't know where the others went. I think we should do it. What do you think? "

I try sparky on the com again.

I grab a quick bite to eat, rations or whatever is close, and go out to help James, unless someone beats me to it, in which case I will start bringing the first speeder out of the shuttle.

"Ok, everyone spread out and move towards Lightmaker, watch for enemy troops we know there out there. Geno, You are In charge, get him out of there and back to the ship. My exit will distract them a little, I hope it is enough!"

I Call Marissa "Marissa, get back to the ship, your speeder is almost ready. We are going out on the lake to save those to fly boys."

Rain - Narvek shakes his head...
"Inside a Star Destroyer! are you kidding me. The Empire and I arn't on the best of terms...apparently they get upset when you 'accidentally' cause the destruction of one of their mining platforms"
He starts to look a little worried now, and begins frantically searching around the ship.
"Is there any place I can hide in this hunk of junk?"
The freighter shudders again, you are entering the cargo bay.

Vivian - Jardon seems to consider it for a moment.
"Alright...if you think we can do it. Just keep your blaster at the ready, this could turn into a light-fight real fast."
He crouches low and slowly enters the cargo bay, making his way towards the fighters. He sticks to the edge of the bay, where there are several small boxes to use for cover. The guards and medical personel don't seem to notice his progress amidts the chaos unfolding around them. You follow him into the bay.

This is a moderate sneak roll
Your perception is 3D
You roll a 13

You carefully crawl along the edge of the bay, and manage to make it over to the fighters without being seen. The guards have shut off the alarms now, and things seem to be returning to normal. Jardon is right in front of you, and you both crouch low under the fighters to avoid being seen.
"I have to get my information back to the rebellion...these fighters don't have hyperdrive, so I am going to check out one of the other stations to see if I can find a more suitable ship.
You should be able to make it to the planet without a problem, and you can use the Z-95's sensors to pick up the location of the others. Good Luck." he gives you a hug "and thanks again for the help".
He begins climbing the access ladder of the nearest fighter.

Sorall - Marius stays back but the rest of the team begin slowly advancing on Lightmarker's position. You quickly jog through the forest ahead of them, dodging behind trees and foliage when ever possible. You can see Lightmarker now, laying on his back in a small clearing just a few meters infront of you, smoke still smoldering from the wound in his chest. The others are crouched low behind you, about 30 meters away. You enter the clearing and kneel down beside Lightmarker, he opens his eyes and a single phrase escapes his mouth...
"It's..a... tr.a..p"
As he collapses unconscious you quickly look up and scan the surrounding area, the forest is deathly quiet, the drone of the tie fighters faint in the distance now. The bright greens, and earthy browns of the surrounding foliage provide a stark contrast to the smell of burnt flesh making its way up into your nostrels.
The silence is suddenly broken by the shrill song of an insect signaling it's mating call. The back of your neck tingles...someone is watching you...you scan the dense brush surrounding the clearing. Then you see it, the muzzle of a gun, just barely protruding from some low bushes a few meters away. You begin to dodge, but it's too late, they fire.

Liox - You relax and allow the force to flow through you, waiting for the proper time to jump. The water is approaching ever more quickly, as your parachute is all but disintegrated now. You judge that you have reached a terminal velocity...and leap into the water.

You swimming ability is 2D+2
You roll a 2 (With a 1 on the wild die)

You leap from the ejection seat, trying to angle your body to slice neatly into the water. The dive seems good.....but at the last second your toe catches on one of the straps of the harness, sending you flailing towards the water. You struggle to regain your composure, but it's no use...there isn't enough time.
The cold blue water rushes towards your face, but as you are about to hit the surface time seems to slow, and your life begins to flash before your eyes. Running through the fields of your homeland as a child....your mother reading to you about the ancient mythical Jedi of old....finally meeting your jedi master after years of searching....you feel at peace with the world. The force flows through you, and in the final seconds you manage to position your body as to not hit face first.

You take 19 points of damage
Your strength is 2D+2
You roll an 8
You are Incapacitated

You smash into the water chest first. The last thing you feel of all your limbs are being forced from their sockets at once, and then....blackness.

You are knocked unconscious for 31 minuites, after next round (5 or 10 seconds) or so, you will have to begin rolling to see if you drown.

Bendox - You try to get sparky on the comm. There are a few frantic beeps and squeaks from the other end, but you are soon cut off again. You look down to see how Liox is doing, he is far below you now, and appears to be setting himself up to leap off of his ejection seat into the water. The cool mountian wind gusts past your face as you watch Liox begin the dive. It looks good at first, but at the last second his foot catches on one of the safety straps of the harness.
His body falls awkwardly towards the water, limbs flailing in all directions...the impact sounds with an and audible smack, even from your height. He bobs in the water for a second, but makes no move to swim toward the shore....you are now 20 meters above him.
Liox's body slips below the surface of the still blue water.

Saku - You watch your friend fall to the groud wounded, and decide to crack open a ration pack. As you eat a bland tasteless ration bar, the rest of the group begins to advance on James' postion and are soon lost from view through the smoke. You activate the repulsor drive on the first speeder and bring it out of the shuttle. Marius is near the wing of the ship talking into his comm. You walk back up the boarding plank into the cargo bay and begin readying the second speeder for action.
Your head whips around as the sound of blaster fire comes from the forest.

Shintu - You take Marius' orders and slowly advance on Lightmarker's position with Geno. Sorall runs on ahead of you into the woods. Using trees and brush for cover you make it about 70 meters from the ship when you can see ahead that Sorall must have reached the body. He is kneeing, with his head close to the ground...Lightmarker must be trying to say somthing. Suddenly Sorall's head snaps up, Geno gives the signal to hold position and stop your advance. You slowly kneel to the ground and wait.
Instantly the sound of blaster fire fills the air....

Marius - The team moves out towards Lightmarker's position, and soon you can no longer see them through the smoke. You look into the ship and see that Saku is eating a ration bar while readying the first speeder. You call Marissa on the comm and give her your orders. Saku brings the first speeder out of the bay and goes back for the second.
The comm crackles to life
"I'll be there in a few seconds, but I hope we can make it in time, those guys looked to be in pretty rough shape"
As her transmission ends she walks out of the smoke to your right, comm in hand.
"Good to see you again, where is the rest of the team"
You begin to respond when the sound of blaster fire echoes from the woods infront of you.

Note for the Group:
For the rest of the light-fight, we will be playing round by round. This means that each round will only last about 5-10 seconds, so for those of you that are not involved in the battle, be sure that the actions you post will take no longer than 5 or 10 seconds. (this may be a little boring for Rain and Vivian, but hopefully this fight won't last too long)
Also there will be a certian posting order, based on perception. For just this first round only Sorall needs to post next, to tell me what he wants to do in response to the shot. So it will look like this:
Sorall
Me

From then on, I will post the order, the first one will be:
Shintu
Marius
Liox
Bendox
Saku
Sorall

Vivian
Rain

Vivian and Rain can post at basically any time as their actions won't affect the fight, but it would be nice if they could post either first or last.
Do not post out of order, and your posts should be modified to reflect the fact that we are in a round. Post how many actions you are making at the beginning of your post and then the content of your first action only. Then I will post, then anyone who said they were doing more than one action will take their second action and so forth. If you take more than 1 action you get 1D off of each action.
I will post a map of the battle after Sorall's next post.

Round 1

Samurai · Post by **Samurai** » Mon May 17, 2004 5:12 pm

I'm taking one action (If activating my lightsaber counts as an extra action I will not do it this round, but I do have it ready in my hand as I posted a while back, if that makes a difference).

I dodge to the left of my attacker (no fancy tricks that will get me killed, just a good dodge that will keep me battle ready). As I finish the dodge I activate my lightsaber.

[PX]IronFist · Post by **[PX]IronFist** » Tue May 18, 2004 1:27 am

Sorall - You throw your body to the left side of the clearing in an attempt to dodge the blaster bolt.

You Dodge is 5D
You roll a 15
The enemy rolls a 17

You're not quite fast enough and the bolt hits you in the right side of the chest.

Your strength is 3D
You roll an 8
The damage is 13
You are Wounded
You can take no more actions for this round and suffer a -1D penalty to all skills until healed.

You fall to the ground beside Lightmarker, stunned from the force of the blast.

Sorall, Shintu, Saku, Marius - Stormtroopers seem to be comming out of the woodwork, you can see atleast four of them in the area surrounding the clearing, and there could be who knows how many more out there, still hiding in the woods.

Round 1 is over, the post order for the next round is:
Shintu
Marius
Marissa
Liox
Bendox
Saku
Sorall
Geno

Vivian
Rain

Here is a map of the area, you can assume any area that is not a clearing has rather dense foliage. Most of the trees have a body strength of 1D or 2D for cover:

The white I's are Imperial Stormtroopers, anyone in the smoke region gets a +1D to difficulty to hit, as does anyone trying to hit the people in the smoke.
