Re: Part 4 - Regrouping
Jihon Mogg lays on the floor while Shisskurr works on patching him up. He's not moving much, but at least his eyes are open, and he grumbles occasionally when the big trandoshan pokes too hard at the wound in his thigh shoulder.
Reldan Jalt still struggles with the swoop, just barely in control of it. At least the attacker with the damaged swoop seems to be worse off. The other attacker squeezes off a shot, and Reldan's vehicle suddenly has a smoking hole where its weapon mounting used to be.
From out in the forest, in the general direction that Neary Narf's last target had disappeared, there is a sudden dull boom. The demolitions expert pays no attention, instead choosing to shoot at another swoop. The shot hits, and the swoop suddenly slows down, with sparks and smoke pouring from its repulsorlift housing.
Shard focusses her mind, and waits until a swoop comes into her line of sight. The rider raises a blaster, firing a shot at the transport, even as Rhijans Thanus sees him and takes evasive action... and Shard fires. The blaster bolt hits, and the swoop explodes in a fireball, which crashes down onto the road. The rider is thrown clear, bouncing off the hull of the transport to land in the vegetation at the roadside.
At his own window, Mark Jacobs fires off a couple more shots at his own target, this time with more success. The vehicle swerves as blaster fire slams into it, and then veers off the road as the rider is hit and topples off.
Which leaves only the two swoops, one of them damaged and almost completely out of control, which are harrassing the rebel pilot, and Neary Narf's most recent victim, which seems to be struggling to maintain speed. The rider, doubtless frustrated, fires off a shot from his blaster pistol, and misses the transport completely.
Meanwhile, Tfalta Dawl manages to bring her newly acquired swoop to an almost complete stop and, after, getting comfortable, heads across to see if she can help Reldan Jalt.
