Urb'n ably guided his kybuck through the obstacles with no incidents.  Jack's skilled riding made it easier for him to prepare for combat.

Talamon also was able to get his mount to cooperate in order to allow him to prepare for combat.  Connus continued to struggle to ride his kybuck and got himself into a very exposed position.

You rode into an area where several huge mushrooms towered, nearly obscuring the Imperial outpost that stood across a narrow stream.  The stream wound through the middle of a forest clearing, splitting around both sides of a humongous mushroom whose cap hung like an awning over much of the area.  The outpost consisted of little more than a few small barricades and a tall computer system with a rotating satellite dish at its top.

Four stormtroopers were stationed near the communications computers, while two more scout troopers on speeder bikes were ranging out from the computers, scouting the area.  (See Game Map.)

Urb'n was the first to react urging his kybuck closer to the speeder bike they had been chasing (SBC)he brandished and ignited his lightsaber.  But the speeder bike looped around one of the large mushrooms, and fired at Jack and Talamon with autofire.  The shots went wild, splattering around, but not actually doing any damage to the two heroes.

One of the stormtroopers also reacted quickly, pulling out his blaster rifle and firing at the nearest target: Urb'n.  Fortunately the large mushroom in the middle of the creek gave him enough cover: the troopers shot burned the mushroom instead.

Jack fired off a wild shot from his gun while still urging on his Kybuck.

Jack's shot almost missed, but he had moved in to close range, and the Force was on his side, his shot completely destroyed the bike and killed its rider.

One of the other stormtroopers (ST4) took another potshot at Urb'n, but missed.  He then disappeared behind the mushroom he was standing next to.

Talamon's lightsaber was quickly out and he was riding into battle, following Urb'n.

Another speeder bike came zooming towards Jack, firing away.  The shot ripped through Jack, nearly killing him

Connus fired past Jack at the attacking speeder bike, punching a hole through the vehicle's fuselage.  Connus then followed Jack to help him out.

Urb'n and Talamon could hear another speeder bike zooming in on their position from around one of the mushrooms nearby, but apparently it couldn't move fast enough to bring it's blaster to bear.

One of the stormtroopers (ST2) shot at Talamon, but some sort of local fauna must have distracted him because his shot hit nothing (not a mushroom, not anything).  The last stormtrooper seemed to be working something on the equipment panel in front of him.

Urb'n spurs the kybuck forward at breakneck speed to close the distance between himself and the group of stormtroopers.

Urb'n takes two move actions and moves 24 squares to the left of his current position.  Also, I see that Urb'n is down to 8 hp, is that number correct?

Swooping around the mushroom to his left, Urb'n ended up just north of the narrow stream.

The stormtrooper closest to Urb'n (ST1) took advantage of this new unimpeded, closer position and fired at him, but he still missed.

Jack wasn't going to let a nearly deadly hit keep him down.  He gritted his teeth and taking a deep breath he urged his Kybuck on. Bringing his blaster back out he fired off another shot, doing even more damage to the speeder bike. 

The stormtrooper who had hidden behind the mushroom (ST4) came out from behind the mushroom to take a clear shot at Talamon, but he practically tripped over his own boots, and sent a wild shot up into the air.

Talamon payed him no mind, instead changing course and heading off after the speeder bike he had heard coming.  As soon as he got within sight of the speeder bike, he used a Force Slam, which scraped the bike into the ground, but did no major damage, except to the mushroom that they were next to, whose stalk shredded slightly.

Meanwhile, the other speeder bike fired at Jack again, but missed, so he tried to zoom away, off towards Talamon.

As the speeder bike (SB2) zoomed around him, Jack noticed an extra opportunity to attack him and fired his blaster rifle (with it's folded stock).  He hit the speeder bike's engine, causing it to explode.

Seeing that things were handled on that side, Connus ran off to help Talamon with the other speeder bike (SB1).  When he got within sight of the speeder bike, he fired, shooting right under Talamon's elbow, damaging one of the bike's steering vanes.

The speeder bike fired at Talamon, but the damage to the steering vane cause his aim to be off, and fired into the ground at Talmon's left.  Then the speeder bike continued his course around Talamon.

One of the stormtroopers (ST2) fired at Urb'n, but again missed.  The last stormtrooper seemed to still be working on something at the console in front of him.

"I could really use a blaster right now," Urb'n mutters, urging his mount to continue closing the distance between them and the stormtroopers.  He makes sure that his lightsaber is ignited.  Looking at the stormtrooper who continues to ignore the battle, Urb'n gets a sinking feeling that whatever the trooper is doing won't bode well for him and his party.

Urb'n uses two move actions to cross the river and place himself in the square adjacent to ST1 (up and to the left of the guy).

The stormtrooper (ST1) startled and fired at the now point blank range Urb'n...

Urb'n employs deflecting slash to protect himself from being hit by the blaster bolt.

UtF roll: 17+8=25.  Urb'n spends a force spent to negate all damage to himself from the attack.

Attack roll: 8+2=10 pffffft, yeah like that does a lot of good.

The shot was headed over Urb'n's shoulder, but he deflected, trying to use his momentum to slash at his attacker.  Urb'n's aim was a little off though, and he missed the trooper.

Jack rode closer to the communications array (up to the edge of the shore line) and fired at ST2.

Jack's shot blasted a hole right through the stormtrooper's chest, killing him instantly.

ST4 continued to sneak around the mushrooms to come up behind Talamon.  He fired a shot that turned into a warning shot, as it narrowly missed Talamon.

Talamon was able to keep from being distracted however, and moved in closer to the speeder bike, slashing at it with his lightsaber.  He chopped off a good section of the steering vane.

Connus faked out the scout trooper on the speeder bike, making him think he would cross his path, causing him to be flat-footed.  He then fired at the speeder bike and fortunately, the Force was on his side, allowing him to finish off the speeder bike.  He then rode towards the communications array to stop ST3 from doing whatever he was doing, since he was continuing to work away at the console.

Urb'n takes a swing at the nearest stormtrooper.

Attack roll: 20+2=22  Oh yeah!
Damage: 12x2=24  This can't end well for the stormtrooper

That makes up for the powder puff roll for deflecting slash.

Urb'n's blade sliced neatly through the stormtrooper's torso, his body slumped to the ground, nearly halved.

Jack fired at ST3, blasting him in the head and killing him.  He then moved towards ST4 (going straight down through the water).

The last remaining stormtrooper continued his assault on Talamon moving closer to get a better shot.  He fired, but missed again.

Talamon turned around and rode towards the stormtrooper, hoping to end the conflict, but he couldn't quite reach him yet.

Connus rode forward to get a clear shot at the stormtroooper. Connus almost missed, but the Force was with him again and he finished off the last stormtrooper.  "Jack, you might want to check what that stormtrooper was doing on the console," Connus suggested.

In reply to GM Hammer (msg #88):

"Right," Shepard said.  He jumped off his Kybuck and started in the the terminal.

OOC: Letting Jack know how he did.

Realizing he wasn't quite up to backtracking, Jack turned his skills in another direction and attempted to tune the Imperial Communications over to the same frequency of the local plant life.

You are rewarded by hearing only static coming from the comm station.

Talamon joined the rest of you and stepped down from his kybuck.  "Let me see if I can heal some of everyone's wounds," he said gently.  He softly touched Connus' forehead first, using the Force to heal him.  He then moved on to Urb'n.  Urb'n felt the familiar feel of the Force flowing through him from Talamon, repairing his body.   Finally came Jack, who could feel his blaster wounds knitting together.

"Thanks," Jack said.  "What now, team?"

"We head back to the village," Connus said.  "Even with Talamon's healing, we still need to rest up before we go barging into a secret Imperial prison facility."

Urb'n nodded in agreement.  "We can rest and discuss our next move more carefully."

Your return to the Felucian village was uneventful.  The chief thanked you, and even healed you as much as he could.  Between that and your restful night, you were all healed up by the morning.
