Right, ok... Well then boosts all around.

The operative word is "Unconscious." You are literally unable to perform rational actions. You can breath, and moan some disconnected words, and that's about it. You are not aware of what is going on, much less able to influence it. Imagine that you're asleep.

Ok.   I'll alter my post then.

What you said was fine. Just remember, that you're not able to operate any machines or anything.

Indeed, you can say what you said, just as a mumble / not over the com link.  I just rolled abysmally on my perception to notice.

I can't see a reason why you can't use the Crits to hit multiple stormtroopers in the rules, so I let it go this time. In the future, I'm going to say 'only one crit from each player character per minion group per round,' unless the reason is particularly cinematic or otherwise awesome. Or if I'm bored with the conflict and want it over with.

How close are the troopers now ? Thanks.
Oh and are they still obscured by the dust ?

Yes, short range.

This is starting to look like a TPK.

Anders (?) down, Caddy down ... more storm troopers and two leaders with some great skills.

I'm going to wait to post to see what Forim does.  He's all ready said to get out but I was hoping to stop the troop carrier, then using the cover of dust go and grab Caddy however it seems the dust isn't bothering the Troopers at all, so it would be suicide to try to pick anyone up as I'd be shot before I got there most likely.  :(

Not looking pretty.



Still rather new to SW and Edge but reading Auto-fire, the Speeder bike quality.



Ohh, I see, reading the next paragraph I have to increase the difficulty by 1 if I want to Auto-fire.  Should have read it more carefully.  Was thinking to hit multiple troopers with the blasts.

Oh well, however you ruled is fine.  Just wanted to give the trooper carrier a crit as suggested by Roger.

Loosely on that note, I'm not going to include the passed boost from Anders in my post as I think he may not have rolled the right dice.

Anders, you realise your crit raises the difficulty of Ag based checks, and firing two weapons in the same turn raises it again for each check unless you got that gunslinger talent? I Don't want to benefit unfairly from this, it looks like you may have needed 1 or 2 more difficulty dice?...

But that aside well played on taking that hit sir! Impressive :)

Also GM, are they still in the dust cloud and have they closed to short range?!

Edit: sorry just read you'd already answered this!

No body is running like I told you to!

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 545):

Tried, failed.

Just saying, that I 100% predicted this TPK before we even tried to set up this ambush.

Forim will follow orders, even if they lead to his death.

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 545):

 I didn't want to be the first want to run.
Kraken will supporting the group with gunfire at range, If everyone bolts I'll follow suit.
 Everyone stays ill go down with everyone else I guess

heheh

I am now rabbiting.  Trying to help Anders along too.  Xyklo has nobly decided to take the rear guard position.

I will always remember him, and will try to pull him out of imperial custody.

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 549):

Live today to fight another day.  Got it.
Hopefully we can rescue Caddy.

In reply to 'Kraken' (msg # 550):

If the squad goes down... if. We just may be able to save our skin. Assuming we have all the troopers accounted for that only leaves the crew of the transport and Mr Sniper dude.

Dual wielding doesn't quite work like that. It's more like one weapon that, when you score two advantages, you can activate a second instance of a weapon attack for the second weapon. It's a little bit complicated. We'll let it go this combat. No big deal. Next time, we'll make sure to have the rules all clear in our heads before we begin. Obviously this combat was kind of complicated, between all the different things that were happening and all the different options of people wanted to take. So we'll know to brush up on Auto fire, duel wielding, Gunnery vs. Ranged attacks, and all that other stuff for next time.

Question about the grenades.  They usually have a damage rating that does that damage to one person, then a blast rating (4 for frag grenades puchased).  The 8 damage is only to one person, where the blast is everyone else.

What kind of grenade do you have that has 34 blast? or is that just a misunderstanding (on my or your part) :P

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 553):

Two grenades in an enclosed space, Damage 8 Blast 6 plus the successes.

About that: I don't see any advantages to use for the Blast qualities. You have 1 advantage on one roll, and 1 threat on the other. Also, if the Blast quality triggers, the original target doesn't take damage a second time; just the additional targets.

I am playing a grenade monkey in another game so I will let you know my interpretation of the rules.

Frag Grenade is Damage 8, Crit 4, Blast 6.

If you hit, you do 8 damage + successes to the one target you aimed for

If you have 2 advantages, you can trigger the Blast quality.

This does Blast damage listed (ie 6) + number of successes to everyone "Engaged" with the target.  This does not affect the primary target if you hit, he only gets hit once.  If you missed however, it will damage the primary target with the blast damage, instead of the regular damage (ie you got "close enough")

As I implied above, even if you miss, you can still trigger blast with 2 advantages.

The soak is rolled individually for each "damage" not added together.

so, in your case you have 3 successes, and 1 advantages or one threat.  That means over 2 rounds of throwing you can do:

11 damage to one target (short an advantage to trigger blast)
11 damage to one target on a second round (with 1 threat, so no blast again)  (you cannot dual wield grenades to trigger an auto fire and hit everyone as far as i know)

Sorry I am on the road at the moment and I don't have access to my books, so I went with "close enough". I knew someone would have to pile on and correct me if I was wrong.

Also, I know it's been awhile since we discussed, but if jamming is up then you can't really be using your com to talk. Oh well.
