Klyn was hoping Terra's attempt at deception was going to work and that the imperials would follow, but the he saw Lyla's attempt to use said diversion immediately... but she obviously was worried about Terra.

Still, she was right about trying to move quickly as Salin was now inside the shuttle. And they couldn't allow him to take off.

With some luck they wouln't spot her and most of them would follow the Jedis. But more likely only some would as they spotted Lyla.

He hesitated between staying put and ready to fire to cover her or attempt sneaking on his own... But he lacked the long range weapon to be effective in cover so he followed her, hoping for the best.

stealth 24

Hearing the sounds of battle in the distance, and having not thing to do effect the outcome, Rynn pulled a game on this bracer computer and took a few minutes to relax and wait for the cue to head out to the shuttle.

The stormtroopers continued to fire at Tera and Quantros, as the pair ran for the corridor. With athleticism and grace Quantros ducked, dived and somersaulted between the blaster bolts. Tera more grounded held her lightsaber between herself and the barrage of blaster bolts, the glowing blade deflecting and blocking the attacks, her skill was tested and found wanting as a bolt hit home. The damage was staggering as she reached the corridor. The stormtroopers sensing victory began to give chase.

In the hangar Lyla and Klyn took their chance. They dashed into the hangar and headed for the Alabak's Gold. Calls of alarm from the remaining eight stormtroopers made it clear that Lyla had been spotted. Staying low Klyn kept out of sight and found protective cover under his ship.

In the computer room Rynn had control of the doors and waited Tera's signal, she just need to survive longer enough to send him the message.

OOC Tera takes 25 damage and -1 on Condition Track.

Everyone can act and then stormtroopers get to shoot again!

Her advantage blown, Lyla decided to make the most of it, whipping up her rifle and firing off a shot on the run into the mass of Stormtroopers. Better she divide their attention, and better she spend the time in their shooting range by shooting back. But it was a hasty, desperate shot, barely more than an obvious distraction. Or so she hoped. 'Everyone move move move!' she bellowed over the comlink, driving her team into greater action.


OOC:
Running Attack: move, attack, move to cover
Sniper rifle attack @ a Stormtrooper: attack 11 if outside 31 squares, attack 10 if within 30 squares; damage 12

Swift: use Lieutenant talent to give everyone an extra move action.

Chu-Shkar had been standing over the explosive devices ready to activate them, and since he only had comms to work with he heard the lieutenant's command and began flipping the switches to activate the bombs.

10:37, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 24 using 1d20+10.  mechanics.

Counting on both diversions and his own stealth, Klyn gets inside the Gold.
He moves with some precaution, in case there was some guards inside, but hurries toward the blaster turret, whichever was better placed to fire inside the hangar.

[THE moms are attractive!] Chu-Shkar says over the comms.

The technicians that had been loading the Imperial shuttle continued to run, some of them managing to climb the ladders and escape into the side tunnel.

The repeating blaster has been pointed into space as a defensive for the hangar. The three heavy weapons stormtroopers had now successful spun the repeating blaster around to face Lyla and the Alabak's Gold, they now would be ready to fire!

The stormtrooper squad on the hangar floor began to target Lyla and sent a salvo of blaster bolts against her. Hiding behind the Alabak's Gold she was unharmed as bolts seared and scorched the outside the starship

In the corridor Tera and Quantros pursued by the other squad of stormtroopers, Quantros nimbly evaded the shots fired and Tera's lightsaber blocked any that came close to the pair.



OOC Lyla's range to stormtroopers hiding behind crates and the stormtroopers at the repeating blaster is at least 100 squares. Due to the cover Lyla was unharmed.

Everyone can act and then stormtroopers get to shoot again!

"How dare you fire on my ship!" roars Klyn as the upper turret turned to face the repeating blaster and the troopers around it.

A nice target would be the TIE, but unless some pilots are moving toward them, they are less of a threat at the moment.

"I got your back Lyla! Go after the traitor as soon as you can safely go!"

Sprinting ahead of a blistering salvo of blaster bolts, Lyla dove desperately into hiding behind the Alabak's Gold. Instead, her beloved ship bore the brunt of the repeating blaster, sparks and molten metal showering overhead. 'Cruk, they're wrecking the paint job!'

'Good work, Chu! Now get back here!' Anxiously, she looked back, ahead, around the legs of the ship, checking the locations of the Stormtroopers. Thankfully, the group at the front had taken the bait, chasing after Tera and Quantros. 'Rynn! The Imps left the hangar. Shut the north-east blast doors so they don't come back. Close the next set on Tera's signal.'

That was one group out of the picture, just leaving the other. Then she heard Klyn's message loud in her ear. 'Oh, thanks, there's only about a million of them!' She'd be pinned down here if she didn't keep moving, but she had nowhere to keep moving to safely. Hopefully she and Klyn could thin their ranks a bit first.

She ran around the ship until she could just about see the Stormies near the back, while she still had cover. Aiming her sniper rifle, she picked off one near the back. Maybe she could herd them like bantha.


OOC: Move 6 squares down and around the ship.
Far Shot: reduces medium range to short; Sniper Rifle: removes penalty at short range
Attack 14, Force Point 3, total attack 17, damage 22 @ Stormtrooper near the lift.

Chu-Shkar began dashing back to the computer core, intent on making sure the rest of the plan went as well as his did.

Relying on Rynn to control the blast doors Chu-Shkar began his sprint along the main corridor to reach the hangar.

Inside the Alabak's Gold Klyn fired from the ship's turret. It was a large hangar but when the starship's quad laser began firing it was filled with the noise and explosions. The repeating blaster was turned into slag and the stormtroopers nearby were caught in the blast, throwing them off the balcony to fall on the hangar floor.

From the cave which the Imperial technicians had run into came out six TIE pilots, four of them ran to the TIE fighters, two of them went down the ladder to the Imperial Shuttle. The distraction and attack on the hangar now in full flow the Verpines engineers began their own run toward the shuttle to attempt to claim it before the  TIE fighter pilots, they called out to Lyla as they ran "the B-wings are in the shuttle".

Lyla was able to pick off one of the stormtroopers but the rest of the unit had her pinned down but she avoided being hit.

Rynn clicked off the game on his computer bracer, and replied "Roger." over his comms, he stood at the computer and started working the controls to close the pair of blast doors. "You guys are leaving me a way in right?"



15:10, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 16 using 1d20+9.  Use Computer .

'Good shot, Klyn!' Lyla whooped over comms as the repeating blaster was blasted. 'Now can you get the rest of them off my tails?' Then she saw the TIE pilots race out; of course, there had to be some here for the TIEs! 'Damn it, those pilots! They'll take the shuttle and the prototypes.' The Verpine were also out now, valiantly trying to seize the shuttle, but she doubted the pacifists could stop even one pilot. The plan was out the airlock now; this was chaos.

Dashing around the base of the Gold, Lyla picked off one of the pilots racing for the shuttle. Unfortunately, she herself was pinned down. If she and Klyn could just hold out until back-up arrived... Should've set that bomb earlier! Where was everyone? Speaking of: Rynn. 'Just block off the Stormtroopers in the tunnels around the atmosphere generators, behind Tera and Quantros, then get over here!'


OOC:
Shoot at a shuttle pilot, attack 25, damage 21

Klyn swore as the hangar is now swarmed by people.
There is  no way he could fire at the troopers without risking to hurt, or even kill, the Verpines.

"Lyla, I can't shoot the troopers with the cannon. I leave the shuttle to you and will focus on the TIE. Maybe it will attract some of the troopers, or a least add to the chaos to allow you to act without too much risk.

Once I'm done, I will got back to shoot at the imperials with more precise weapons."

That being said, he aimed at the TIE nicely aligned and fired at the supports.

All throughout the research station the swoosh and clank of blast doors was heard as Rynn began a process to trap any Imperials whilst leaving an escape route for Chu-Shkar, Tera, Quantros and himself. With so many Rebels relying on him it made the timing critical, he didn't want to trap Tera and Quantros in with the Imperials.

As Chu ran down the main tunnels the blast doors on either side slammed shut, his own exit was straight into the hangar. The Wookiee could hear heavy blasterfire and explosions inside the hangar ahead of him.

Before the two Imperial pilots could reach the shuttle Lyla aimed and fired. Accurate and deadly the blast knocked the pilot off his feet. The other was nearly in the shuttle. The stormtroopers now dug in continued to blast at Lyla, the pacifistic Verpines so far ignored. None were able to hit the elusive target.

In the Alabak's Gold Klyn swivelled the gun turret and shot away the supports for one of the TIE fighter's. The starfighter crashed to the hangar floor, damaged but not destroyed.

Bombarded by blasterfire Quantros and Tera evaded the stormtroopers, they reached Rynn in the command centre just in time for the blast doors to slam closed behind them.

Somehow, Lyla was still alive and unharmed, amazed at her continued survival but not about to question it. Skilled at a run-and-gun approach, she dashed between whatever cover she could find, firing along the way. With one pilot down, she aimed for the other, targeting him in the back as he climbed into the shuttle. Last chance; this shot had to count.


OOC:
Shoot at a shuttle pilot, attack 25, damage 21
Somehow I got the same rolls as before.

"Thought the plan was to be getting away from here... but thanks for the company." Rynn said, turning to look at the two new comers, one of which he did not know. "Introductions later, the bomb is armed and time is ticking for us to get out of here." Rynn said, spinning back to the computer to ensure everything was secure. "Still going to plan? Is it time for us to get to the hangar?"

As Chu-Shkar entered the hanger he paused long enough to sight on one of the TIE pilots with his bowcaster and fired. As he blasted one he then continued running to the shuttle, letting his bowcaster fall to his side on it's sling, and drawing his axe for use when he arrived.

16:09, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 23 using 1d20+5.  attack.
16:10, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 18 using 3d10.  damage.

Klyn continued with his work on the TIE, focusing his fire on the one the pilot seems to be running to.

Tera breathed heavily against the blast door "Well done Rynn. I thought we might be cutting it a little too fine." She looked a little concerned. "Uh....so the charges are set? We uh....well, we might not want to hang around then. Let's get moving." she glanced towards Quantros "You're better at this than me, could you update the Verpines?"

Decimating the TIE fighters Klyn shot again with the Alabak's Gold's quad laser cannon, the stationary starfighter blew to pieces, the pilot nearing it thrown back by the blast. Two of the remaining pilots on the overhead walkway leapt into the last two TIE fighters and began to prep them for take off.

The last TIE pilot looked down at the hangar just as Chu-Shkar rushed in. The Wookiee sighted the pilot and blasted with it's bowcaster, the shot incapacitated the pilot and knocked them from the walkway to collapse on the hangar floor.

At the shuttle the Imperial pilot reached the ramp and was running up as he was shot down by Lyla.

All thing did not go as smoothly as the stormtroopers occupied half the hangar and held their defensive position. Blasting at Chu-Shkar and Lyla, both Rebels were hit.

Quantros sent a warning to the Verpines, the base was about to explode!

OOC Lyla and Chu-Shkar are both hit, Lyla moves one step down the Condition Track.

Everyone can act for round 8 and then stormtroopers get to shoot again!

Howling in pain Chu-Shkar shot back at the imperial that fired at him, and hitting. He cheered loudly, as he continued to make his way to the shuttle, trying to keep to cover as much as possible.

02:41, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 17 using 1d20+5.  attack.
02:42, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 25 using 3d10+3.  damage.

Staggering under the searing shot, Lyla ducked back behind cover to check her injury and decide there was nothing for it but to grit her teeth and bear it. She'd survived worse, certainly. She'd rather survive less, but there you go. She reflected that the plan had not only not survived contact with the enemy, but been well and truly obliterated. Ah well, all they could do now was try to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, again.

Jumping up, Lyla made another unerring shot into the ranks of Stormtroopers, picking them off one by bloody one.


OOC: Baby, I'm just gonna shake shake shake Shake It Off: 2 swift actions, +1 on CT
Standard: If I can't hit another pilot, then shoot at any Stormtrooper getting too close, attack 22, damage 21

"Two down, two to go. I hope your are not doing to bad. I will be back to help shortly" said Klyn as he fired at the third TIE.
He hoped the pilot wouldn't be quicker than him and, for once, thanked the Empire for making TIE without shields.
