Iris (Analysis Droid): 13
Will immediately duck behind crates on the ship and only stay safe unless someone attempts to board the ship or is specifically ordered to engage
 
Nikita: 29, she is getting her BAG and setting up at the top of the ramp.
R+ (Holocam Droid, outside the ship): 15, it is hovering in Stealth (33) keeping EYE on the Falcon's and Nikita's dead angle.
Rrr (DeathStar Medical / Hacker Droid inside the Falcon): 12, continously hacking with competence
(3rd round: 29, 4th [1st] round: 31, 5th [2nd] round: 31).
 
A loud wine came from behind the walls as automatic blaster fire whirred up without furhter warning. Powerful blaster fire strafed the walls, heating it and sending out bubbles. When it was done a few moments later, they could see through the molten slag that was once a wall. Six droids, each the size of a small speeder or swoop, with six legs, lithe bodies. Twin heavy blaster cannons adjusting to track on them.

The droids were old and heavily restored, but no less deadly. Each was painted on the right and left with a heraldic device involving a blue field, a red field and white five pointed stars aranged as a five pointed star.

Pre battle round 3, the droideka blast through the wall, then observe the hold to see who is where.
People can make a round three preparatory move if they want, but battle doesn't actualy begin 'til roudn four.

Consider this the start of round four. Everyone who goes at or before 23 post in whatever order you can, including any preparatory stuff you did on round 3.

23 Droideka 1-3
14 Droideka 4-6

The camera focuses in on this tiger striped cathar with her muted brown hooded robes flapping in the light breeze as screams start to erupt from to people still left on the promenade. You see Leenara take a defiant stare at the battle droids and accessing the scene.

(Her friend and very pregnant Melaara with EV and the captain of the other freighter near the ramp to the Falcon. A girl on a swoop over heard. Civils all around the promenade. Those battle droids can not be allowed to fire into the crowd!)

Leenara leaps over the crowds and uses her claws to spin inside the hanger to land in front of the battle droids. (Activating Surge to jump) (basically she is putting herself between the party the droids) and takes a defiant stance with a flash of her claws and teeth, Threatening them (full defensive), but unwilling to throw the first blow in a fight that might possibly be avoided. Hopely this will give the crews of the ships time to react and get the a first strike on the droids before they hurt anyone except of course Lenara.

Surge rolled 5+17=22 for the surge +30 to jump
Jump roll 17+4+30(surge)=51 to jump the crowd and land in front of the Battle Droids with heroic yet suicidal flair
Persuasion to get the droids attention and focus it on Leenara
rolled a 13+12=25 persuasion check for the droids focused on Leenara
 
EV5.jpg


EV fearing for the babies tries to grapple Melaara and throw throw her gently to the ground.


rolled an attack of 18+5 melee attack bonus to grapple Melaara hopely the surprise move catches Melaara by surprise lol
 
(When able)
With a whoop over the vox, Chadra rears her swoop up to take aim at the largest concentration of droids and flops a switch on her swoop, the nose cone folding open. The barrels are firing as soon as they have clearance unleashing a veritable hellstorm of fire down into the ranks.

Attack roll 1d20+9= 15+9=24, four square splash damage, dmg roll 1d10+4 =9,1,9+4=23
 
Nikita just sets up at the mouth of the ramp, almost fully hidden inside the ship, laying on the trembling floor as the Falcon got ready to hover a little and turn in place to aim its front arch laser cannons...

But until that...
latest

Big Ass Gun. On a bipod, aimed, turned to Ion, and ready to shoot the first droideka's turn off switch. .
- Precise Shot (no penalty shooting into melee)
- Dead Eye (aimed ranged attacks cause an extra damage dice)
- Sniper (can ignore cover provided by character, creature or droid)
and if she is a little lucky, then
- Far Shot (range category counts as one less)
- Point Blank Shot (+1 attack and damage at point blank distance)

Attack: 18
Damage: 26

In the next round the ship would be getting into position for Jax to be able to use the Laser Cannons, at least if any enemy would still be in front of them. So, after her already aimed shot, Nikita would use the first round's remainder to keep aiming, and at the start of the next, she would shoot again, before Jax would be shooting the Laser Cannons...

2nd (5th) round:
Attack: 19
Damage: 29
(again, maybe with +1 / +1)

Avara Mirim

As the alert was raised, Mirim gave a nervous swallow. She closed her eyes and focused. Sometimes it was like her luck was a palpable thing, something that would flow at her direction if she just gave it a nudge.

Was that the Force? Maybe she should ask her chain sister about it next time they shared a private cuddle.

Whatever is coming she heard the wine, and blaster fire beginning, I need to be able to hit it. I need to shoot steady and straight. I need move, so I'm not there anymore when the shots arrive...

And I need luck!

Round 3.
Fools Luck. Spending 1 force point for +1 to hit for the rest of the scene.
 
Nikita squeezed off a single, beautiful shot. The silvery bolt burned through her target's shield and arched over the droid's chassis. Only a ligth shock got through but she weakened it and--more importantly--it's shields.

Mirim decided that was the best possible target. The twi'lek began her dance. She sprang out from behind her master into a shoulder roll, heavy blaster flashing into her hand. The purple girl sprang into a round over as she came to her feet. Upside down she snapped a shot into the same droideka, homing in on one of the droid's sensor panels...

A flawless shot, but the purple light burst off of the droid's shields.

Melaara's attention turned to the droids which just broke through the hangar, she didn't notice the medical droid until it she was already being forced to the ground. Her eyes widened in surprise as she turned to the droid, "EV, what are you doing?" In truth she knew that the droid's 'heart' was in the right place, and she knew she should be careful, but she couldn't just lay there and not help the others defend the hangar. "EV, please let me up. I understand your concern but I can take care of myself."

"I am sorry Captain. Those are rollers, I mean droideka battle droids. They have Shields and repeating heavy blasters. All you could do is be high value target for them, Captain."

On EV's initiative a SR 15 shield forms around EV and melaara.
 
"Thank you, EV. I'll stay here with you for now but we need to take down these droids!" The codru drew her blasters and fired off a shot, which went wide, missing the six legged droids entirely.
 
As the walls went down and the battle began, Chadra'ji's blaster bolts strafed the first and second droid, weakening shields and pitting their plating.

As Melaara hadn't managed to get their attention yet, the first three droideka began to return fire, two focusing their automatic fire on Chadra, the third spraying one little autocannons at the area containing EV, Melaara, and the port master. It simultaneously focused it's other blaster into a measured burst at Nikita.

All Cassandra managed to do as the insanity began was jam her helmet on and shoulder her rifle.

The redhead's eyes narrowed as she took in the first few moments of the scene. “Those shields are strong!” She called over the heads up com. “Focus fire to bring them down!”

Suiting action to words, she leveled her heavy blaster rifle at the first droid to have taken a hit and squeezed off five rounds in a carefully controlled burst. Emerald plasma ripped through the shield to tear sparking wounds into the weakened droideka, but it was still fighting.

The mysterious hooded figure had jumped the crowd, grabbed the top of the hangar door and swung into the hanger dropping right in front of 3 Droideka Battle droids (4-6)(last turn). You would expect a figure like this to pull a lightsaber but instead reaches out with her arms and strikes a pose more like a kung fu master than a Jedi knight. Taking a moment to stare down the droids she strikes the middle droid with lightening fast reflexes.

Like the duelists of the ancient republic turning to swords when they faced personal shields that made their blasters and light sabers almost useless, Leenara demonstrated that shield technology still offered little defense and solid attacks. Movements sped and strengthen by the Force, the Cathar girl lashed out at the only droideka she could reach and raked four deep furrows into it's chassis, knocking out one of it's sensors in the process.

Kaloh pulled out a blaster as he turned away from the man greeting him and flipped a small switch near the holster, causing a faded energy shield to materialize around him. Despite wielding a blaster, he ran toward the droids, moving to melee range, attacking one next to the one the Cathar had assaulted. At such close range, the shot easily hit, kicking out a powerful blast.

Eblock, his patrol droid, remained on the cargo bay ramp of Elysium. Despite preferring closer range, he refused to leave the ship except in emergencies. He aimed, fired, and hit the Droideka nearest him with a shot from his blaster rifle. As the droideka appeared to falter and collapse, Eblock lowered his weapon. "This is why I am Elysium's protector."

Iris, Kaloh's analysis droid, was feeling less heroic, having squatted behind some crates as blaster shots were exchanged.

Kaloh: 17 to hit, 23 dmg on unspecified droideka next to Leenara (not the one she attacked). Eblock: 14 to hit, 15 dmg on droideka 2. Iris: taking cover
 
Jawas shrieked and chittered. One little specimen shoved a heavy machine away from the wall and waved his kin behind it, smoothly snagging one as she fell to shove her back into cover as well.

Kaloh couldn’t get close enough to the droideka to ram his blaster past it's shields, but the powerful shot punched through the shields to score it's chassis.

The droideka Leenara had clawed shifted back and sprayed the area she occupied with automatic fire from both blaster cannons.

The droideka who didn't have an opponent turned, spider legs clunking on the floor, and alos focused on Leenara, this one with focused bursts of radiant death.

Even Kaloh's target was focused enough on Leenara—for the moment at least—to focus it's fire on him. This droideka, too, chose to spray it's fine through the area leenara occupied and beyond.
