The Alabak's Gold came to life in a burst of activity. The ship's repulsor engines thrust it toward the lifeless Swimmer. Lyla swam to find cover, her escape was followed by more harpoons. Two of them finding their mark and bring more pain and blood. It was not with retaliation as the ship's guns burned through the ocean toward the Imperial forces. The turrets were off target but Jason shot the Swimmer with the pilot guns and the immoble AT-AT Swimmer was blasted hard enough to make it sway and rock.

At the sight of the jumpship moving toward them the Imperial troopers fell back to regroup and defend their helpless Swimmer.

Imperial Attack

OOC NPC'd Jason to move things along he shot the Swimmer!

Lyla takes 19 damage from harpoons.

I put Rynn in the turret with the big gun.

Everyone can act.

Lyla had caught the underside of the Gold, but not before the enemy harpoons caught her. Not enough to kill or maim, but enough to hurt, bleed, and really piss her off. Swinging around, taking cover behind the landing gear, she thumbed her SG-4 back to blaster mode. She had the benefit of range now, the Seatroopers didn't. Taking aim again, she fired off a shot at the nearest trooper; it missed, but kept him from getting comfortable.

Glancing around to take in the situation, she was dismayed to see Tera swimming away. 'Tera! We need your lightsabre to cut that thing open!' Wasn't that the plan? Because right now Lyla didn't have another one.


OOC:
Swift: switch weapon mode to blaster fire
Standard: attack 10, miss @ Seatrooper 1

Klyn quickly checked the many information the now functioning ship was sending him.

He also redirected the targeting enhancement to help the upper turret, their most powerful weapon.

"Lyla ? Are you  getting inside?"

Rynn as a +2 to hit this turn

'I don't know now!' Lyla retorted from the underside of the ship. 'I figure I'll jam a frag grenade some place vital.'

"Here we go then.. Going in for an attack run.."

With the ship finally back under their control Jason starts to move towards the aquatic AT-AT before it get's it's power back too and fires the pilot linked cannons right at vehicle's cockpit to do the most damage.


OOC:

Move action: Move 6 squares towards the swimmer
Standard Action: Attack run. Move 6 squares towards the swimmer, attack at +2, -2 to ship's reflex defense till next round.

Attack roll: 20+8 for 28 (critical hit)
Damage: 112

Chu-Shkar tried to concentrate and aim his gun at the swimmer. As big as that thing is you'd think it would be easy to hit. He thought.

His shot fired off, but he didn't think he hit it.

08:25, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 11 using 1d20.  attack.

Rynn cursed through his mask as his first shot missed widely. He settled back into the seat, getting a feel for the controls, the movement. Only a few seconds past before he felt oriented to it and he lined up another shot on the skimmer. He carefully pulled the trigger and fired.




Ok, a little rusty on the rules here.


I forgot the plus +1 for point blank shot to my attack so it should be a 16. That's a hit right? So I rolled damage, but didn't know if the plus two to damage goes before the multiplication or after.

Also, how does the Skirmisher talent work for gunners?

18:20, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 30 using 4d10.  Damage.
18:17, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 15 using 1d20+6.  Attack.

Tera swam as hard as she could towards the Golden Sun feeling that it would help bring all matters here to a close. She reached towards it with her mind, hoping she could break through and have it understand her.

Laser canons fired and burned through the ocean to blast at the immobile Swimmer. Explosions erupted and smoke bubbled into the sea. The Imperial vehicle shook and began to list to one side. Then as victory was in the Rebel's grasp the Swimmer jerked to life, its repulsor engines fired up and righted it.

The AT-AT Swimmer was active. Its head turned to stare menacingly at the Alabak's Gold, the blaster cannon spat angrily, spraying deadly bolts of energy all over the ocean but it was the more accurate lasers which scored a hit against the Rebel ship.

The seatroopers moved to clear the line of fire for the Swimmer and continued to shoot at Lyla. Again a harpoon hit her, it seemed her luck had past.

Further away Tera continued to kick and swim her way toward the Golden Sun as she responded to its cries of fear and confusion.

Imperial Attack

OOC Alabak's Gold has taken 22 damage and its shields have been reduced.

Lyla takes 12 damage from another harpoon.

Jason tries to turn the ship away from the attack, but the Alabak's gold is considerably slower and more cumbersome than the Tie fighters he's used to piloting and the attack still connects.

"She's tough but she moves like a Bantha dragging a Dewback.."

With that said, Jason moves in even closer and continues firing the ship's weapons, but now that the enemy can fire back, he's a little more cautious.


OOC:

Move action: Get the ship another 6 squares closer.
Standard action: Open fire!


21:50, Today: Jason Starflare rolled 9 using 1d20+6.  pilot mounted weapon.

Rynn let out a "WOOOO HOOO." as his laser cannon blast strikes the swimmer. And "OH YOU WANT SOME MORE?" once it had fired back. He was much more animated behind the controls of a ship's turret more than anyone had seen him before. He'd done everyone the courtesy of muting his mic, but whoops and cries of joy could be heard echoing down the halls of the ship.





Damage is 28x4=112+2 114
18:18, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 28 using 4d10.  Damage.
18:18, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 19 using 1d20+8.  Attack roll

Outside things were not so happy. 'I'm being nailed out here!' Lyla roared, suffering another harpoon strike. She quickly paid it back, blasting one of the seatroopers. 'Try gunning the Seatroopers for me, yeah?'

But, as it was, she couldn't hang around out here much longer. Lyla quickly swung herself into the airlock for a breather, out of the firing line.


OOC:
Standard: Shoot Seatrooper #1, attack 24, damage 13 (inc. PBS +1/+1)
08:11, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 24 using 1d20+7. attack: SG-4 blaster (PBS +1).
08:11, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 13 using 3d8+3. damage (PBS +1).

Move: get inside the ship

Swift: catch Second Wind, heal 14 hitpoints

Klyn winced as the Gold was hit.
Hopefully they had already damaged the swimmer enough that it wouldn't be much longer.


He started to redirect power to restore the shield and, rotating his help, focused on their third canon this time.

2 swift action /3 for the shields
one action to give +2 to Chu-Shkar

Chu-Shkar had never been trained in how to operate a turret, and realized it as he tried to move the gun by brute force. This caused him to jerk the trigger accidentally, which sent his shot far wide of the Swimmer. [Language unknown: "Il lolo ereortectast Ive itperi uletpo ou neomin accele"] He growled over the comms.

Tera tried to calm the golden sun, sending it waves of confidence and reassurance as she swam towards it.

The Swimmer jerked to a stop and a rumble can be heard deep inside its impenetrable shell. Bright explosions erupted from various openings and the deadly Swimmer began to sink toward the sea bottom, smoke and wisps of fire trailing after it.

The remaining seatroopers continued to fight the Sedrians, although the ones that had protected the Swimmer began a slow retreat from the Alabaks's Gold. More and more defender swam out of Fitsay. Muffled by the din of war Tera heard Pek's booming wail from inside the city "father, the sun caves" he cried in a pained voice. Tera saw Pek as he then darted off toward the Great Shell Dome.

Hearing the muffled explosions, feeling the ship rock around her, Lyla's first fear was that the Alabak's Gold had been hit and was going down. Frantic, she looked through the airlock portal and saw that it was in fact the Swimmer, rent by blaster fire and sinking fast. She was glad she'd gotten the airlock door closed in time, blocking any ear-popping shockwaves she might have suffered this close to the source of the explosions. Thank the Goddess! She didn't need to stick frag grenades up its exhaust ports after all.

'Good work, boys! Commendations for all when we return to Isis!' Lyla commed to the hardworking crew. 'Now let's concentrate on these Seatroopers, and give the Sedrians a flipper... Tera, where're you heading off to?' She needed the medic so she could stop looking like a spiked gutkurr.

She opened the airlock door again, poking her rifle out and shooting at one of the Seatroopers too slow to retreat. She missed, barely, but it should still get him to hurry up.

Klyn easily raised the shield back to their full power.

He also increased the targeting analysis for the Quad turrent, tuning it to the smaller targets they were now chasing.

"Lyla? Do you want us to go toward the Sun?" he asked.

Lyla swore into her breather. Too focused on the battle, she'd forgotten the war. Bishop Karak was still out there, bound to be causing trouble for his people. Why wasn't he commanding his loyalists? Where else would he be? She realised what Tera must have. 'Yes! Take us to the Great Shell Dome! These guys are a distraction!'

Jason takes a shot at one of the seatroopers before turning the ship around and heading back towards the great shell dome as instructed.

"Alright, on our way"



21 to hit and 39 damage to the nearest sea trooper, then moving 6 squares towards the great shell dome!

Tera swam towards the sun cave, following Pek, continuing to send waves of reassurance and confidence towards the golden sun.

Chu-Shkar was a little better at getting his guns on target this time, but he was no longer shooting at the swimmer, instead shooting at a sea trooper. So though his blast was close he couldn't be sure if he hit the target.

08:52, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 14 using 1d20.  attack.

"Roger S'arnt, Targeting troopers now." Rynn said into the comms as he lined up a shot at one of the troopers on the ground. "Almost doesn't seem fair." he said as he squeezed the trigger with the quad cannon pointed at a bobbing white mass in the water. After the sizzling water had died down he could no longer see his target.




124 for damage.
18:06, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 31 using 4d10.  Damage.
18:05, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 20 using 1d20+8.  Attack.

The Swimmer destroyed the Rebels focused their attention on the Great Shell Dome and the Golden Sun hidden beneath its protection. The laser cannons of the Alabak's Gold spat death at the Imperial Seatroopers preventing any pursuit. Defensively the seatroopers spread themselves out.

'Fair ain't an option.' Lyla returned bitterly to Rynn over the comlink. She was seated in the open airlock, lining up another shot on one of the Seatroopers, gratified to score a good hit. Her teammates might have the bigger, better, more destructive ship cannons, but she liked to think she had more finesse. She'd hoped these Seatroopers would take the hint and flee; no hope there though.

After that, Lyla tried contacting Tera again, worried for her friend's state of mind and for safety, so exposed in the open water like she had been. 'Tera! Talk to us! Come back to the Gold, we'll pick you up and carry on to the Dome.'
