Tera looked around, more than a little concerned they were running out of time. "All right. Let's get going. Run." She was about to start sprinting towards the hangar bay, before she paused for a fraction of a second "Quickly?" and without any further ado, started running as fast as her legs would carry her to safety.

Another blast from his bowcaster knocked out stormtrooper as Chu-Shkar dashed up the boarding ramp of the Imperial shuttle. Chu-Shkar saw both of the B-wing prototypes loaded aboard. The Verpines were also onboard and chittered noisily as they pointed to the closed cockpit "the traitor is preparing for take-off" just as they announced it the repulsorlife engines started up and the shuttle began to move.

Evening the odds Lyla continued her shoot out with the stormtroopers. It was now five against one. Klyn shot another TIE fighter which shook and rattled in its docking rack but it was not destroyed. Both remaining TIE's engines ignited as the pilots began their flight initiation.

Along the corridor Rynn, Tera and Quantros approached the hangar, hopeful that they would make it in time before the asteroid exploded.

OOC Chu-Shkar is now onboard the Imperial Shuttle.

Everyone can act for round 9 and then stormtroopers, Imperial Shuttle and TIE fighters can act!

Letting his bowcaster fall to his side on it's sling, Chu-Shkar slid  to the door to the cockpit and tried to open it. If it doesn't he will begin slicing it open, let me know if it needs a roll.

'Give 'em hell, Chu!' Lyla cheered as she spied Wookiee slip aboard the shuttle, even as it took off; they might just have a chance of seizing the thing.

Pity she herself was pinned down behind the Gold and couldn't join him. Wasn't she supposed to climb a ladder and get some place high? Meh. She could go inside the Gold and take a turret, but that would let the Stormies run amok on the hangar floor, and she couldn't have that. So she kept taking shots at them, keeping them pinned down as well.


OOC: Shoot at a Stormtrooper, anyone too close to the shuttle.
Attack 16, damage 22

Klyn is not satisfied with his last shot. Of course he will destroy the TIE this time, but that means the last one will be able do something before he could fire back.

And he cannot raise the shields while firing with the upper blasters.

"Well, let's hope the Force is indeed with us."

And he fired at the damaged TIE

Tera kept running as fast as her legs would carry her, spending only just enough time to make sure the others were following and would make it to the hangar in time.

A glance at the control tower from Lyla and Klyn saw that two stormtroopers had retreated behind a transparisteel window it would be almost impervious to the most powerful of blasterfire. The stormtroopers were with two Imperial naval officers who stood watching the battle and could be seen to shout orders and direct the stormtroopers on the hangar floor.

The ramp into the Imperial shuttle was near the centre of the spaceship, just behind the cockpit. As Lyla began to prepare a dash to the ramp she watched the repulsorlift engines began to slowly lift the shuttle off the hangar floor. The engines of the last TIE were also activated and the starfighter rattled in preparation to launch.

At the door to the shuttle cockpit Chu-Shkar discovered it to be locked. The Wookie needed the security kit to bypass the lock, Chu-Shkar had last seen the tools with Rynn.

As thoughts of the others crossed Chu-Shkar's mind then they were there. Led by Tera, there was Rynn and Quantros, running away from the ticking bomb. From their entrance into the hangar the Rebels saw the Imperial Shuttle beginning its take off, the wreckage a TIE fighter on the hangar floor and another two smoking wrecks still in their rack. On the hangar floor the remains of a squad of stormtroopers were dug in and involved in a shoot out with Lyla. A single TIE, badly damaged, was preparing to launch.

Rynn took a quick stock of the battlefield as he ran in with Tera and the other Jedi. The first thing, and the sole focus of his mind was the rising shuttle, which he had been told carried the prototypes they were after.

Although tired from his run through the space station, he bolted toward the ramp, leaping for it lest it take off without him.

Advancing from her place behind the Gold, Lyla shouted orders and shot at Stormtroopers. 'Klyn, keep on that TIE! The rest of you, seize that shuttle and keep those Stormtroopers off us. And I'm glad to see you!'


OOC: Move 5 squares to the right.
Shoot at Stormtrooper #6
Attack 25, damage 23

Klyn fired at the last TIE, hoping Chu-Shkar would manage to stop the shuttle.

But he still had a B and C plan, just in case.

Tera ran towards the shuttle as Lyla directed.

Circling around the Alabak's Gold Lyla made good use of the cover and shot another stormtrooper. As the Imperial shuttle lifted off the stormtrooper saw the three Rebels rushing toward them and the shuttle. The stormtrooper concentrated their fire on the three newcomers and the precision accuracy of the Imperial stormtroopers was demonstrated with lethal results. All three Rebels were hit and a Tera could not raise her lightsaber quick enough as a blasterbolt threw her off her feet and she crumbled to the hangar floor. Quantros wounded still managed to flip off his feet and somersaulting landed on the ramp as it began to close.

From the Alabak's Gold Klyn shot the last of the TIE fighter. The engineer swivelled in the gunner's seat and began to plan his next move. He saw to his horror and surprise Tera gunned down. To control the tractor beam or start the engines he'd need to get to the cockpit. Klyn knew the low power tractor beam projector was designed to be used as an anchor whenever the Alabak's Gold was seaborne. Against a starship it would be ineffective but might slow the Imperial Shuttle down enough for the others to all get aboard.

OOC Quantros managed to leap on board the Imperial Shuttle.

Rynn, Quantros and Tera are all hit the last stormtroopers. Tera is shot dead, she can attempt to use a Force Point to increase her reaction Deflect roll, it needs to be increased by +4 to succeed. Lastly she can use a Force point to push herself to unconscious instead of dead.

Klyn can attempt to cold start the Alabak's Gold and be instantly ready,  Pilot check DC 30, it will take +1 round for every point the check is missed by to prepare the ship for takeoff.

Rynn can attempt to leap aboard the Imperial Shuttle using either Jump or Acrobatics.

Everyone can act!

Klyn swore as he saw Tera fall.

He had to order his priorities.

Firstly, start the engines. With some luck he would be able to act quickly and move the gold to scatter the imperials and stop the shuttle.

If not, it would leave time for using the tractor beam.

But now he had another target in mind : Tera.

As he worked on the usually quick responding controls, Klyn made some stupid mistakes because of the stress and the engines only slowly started to respond to his commands.

"Lyla, I won't be able to move the gold quickly enough.  I will try to use the tractor beam to get Tera safely out of the way, then I will fire at the troopers to distract them so that you can get inside.
I hope the others will be able to seize the shuttle..."

'No!' Lyla swore loudly as she saw Tera shot down, only just resisting the urge to run out after her. But she looked out across the hangar bay floor, wondering about her odds and options. She heard Klyn's message, it sounded mad and dangerous, and she commed back a lot of questions 'Use the tractor beam on Tera? Is that safe? What if you just shoot the Stormtroopers now?'

"I was trying to get the Gold ready to fly and I can't do it from the gun turret." answered Klyn.
"I could go back to the guns, but then I won't be able to bring Tera to safety..."


OOC: Would it be dangerous to use the tractor beam on Tera? Klyn having personnal modification and other techh savy feats, maybe he could tune it in a safe mode?

The remaining troopers are behind some big square, could klyn fire at them (or at whatever is protecting them) to wreak havoc?

Rynn ran. He felt the blasters tear into him, and heard Tera cry out but kept running. The mission came first, he'd check on the survivors after they were clear. For now he needed to stop the shuttle from getting away with the prototypes. Despite barely being on his feet and conscious he ran and jumped toward the shuttle, desperate to board and at least be safe from incoming fire.


11:08, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 15 using 1d20+5.  Acrobatics .

Lyla looked back and forth, frustrated at her limited options, but events were pushing her past any of them. She took another shot at the nearest Stormtrooper, to stop them getting closer to Tera, then hurried into the Gold. She'd do better from the turret anyway.


OOC: Shoot at nearest Stormtrooper
Attack 16, damage 18

Move into the Alabak's Gold and go to the turret

Chu-Shkar whipped out the axe, and began trying to pry the door open using the axe to lever it.

The bomb set and the rest of the crew now in the hangar bay it was time to leave. Klyn began the ignition sequence of the Alabak's Gold, it felt good to be back in the comfort of home but the starship was not fast to respond after its prior flight with an unwanted pilot.

Lyla dashed up the boarding ramp of the jumpship, on her way the Twi'lek blasted another stormtrooper and then ran to the gun turret. Left without opponents the last two stormtroopers ran out from cover and grabbed an unconscious Tera as they began to flee for the tunnel.

Quantros, Chu-Shkar and Rynn were now aboard the Imperial shuttle with the Verpine prisoners. The cockpit door was sealed and the frustrated Wookiee began to vent his anger against it as the shuttle spun around and began its flight out to space.

Both modified B-wings are in the shuttle and with the help of the Verpines can be launched once the Imperial shuttle is in the asteroid field, they are two man starfighters requiring a pilot and a gunner, the Verpines are able to act as pilots if needed.

OOC 12 round until Alabak's Gold is ready for take off.

Chu-Shkar can try either Strength check to disable metal door with a of DC35 or he can attack the door which has a Ref Defence of 4 and then roll for damage as normal.

Unless the axe as a pry bar gives a really big bonus, the DC is too high.

OOC there may be a bonus for the axe. The DC is straight from the rule book.

Filled with fury by the sight of the Stormtroopers dragging off Tera, Lyla swivelled the turret around and got them in the laser cannon's sights. 'Leave my friend alone!' she roared, jamming down the firing button. This wasn't even going to hurt. This was going to turn them into mist.


OOC: Point Blank Shot: +1 attack, +1 damage
Precise Shot: no penalty for shooting into melee
Aim: use two swift actions, ignore any cover
Shoot the first Stormtrooper, attack 18, damage 31

Kly readied the tractor beam to stop the fleeing imperial if they survived Lyla's attack. If only to prevent them from getting out of reach.

Chu-Shkar wedged the blade of the axe into the crack of the door and began prying with a mighty roar that echoed in the shuttle.

20:32, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 24 using 1d20+5.  strength check before axe bonus.
