Nexus' attack - round 2

[watanabe]

Somewhere nearby, Kara pulled out a cloth and began to clean the cockpit instruments carefully while sipping some cold caf she had brewed and chilled to keep her awake.

Been there, done that. Then I had to mow down - and then make a deal with - band of pirates. Somehow, I suspect it won't stay nice and quiet.

Ever seen the TV show "Chuck"? It's never safe waiting in the car... 

Yep, last time I was left with the ship something like that happened as well.

But last time, guys, I had a semi-logical reason why you were engaged at the ship... I will be honest, this time has left me wondering how to keep Kara engaged in the story. Maybe the Aegis will start sinking into the bog... that might be an interesting issue to deal with.

I didnt think I could Block because I was flat footed and my light saber wasnt ignited at the time of the attack.

Hey Tom, you are right. Your PC is no longer flat-footed, that ended with the surprise round, but your weapon was not ignited which needs an action - not a reaction. So, you will take all three hits. I have updated your stat block. 

Sam does 19 damage to Nexu 2.

The report of Sam's rifle echoed louder in the jungle valley than the blasters that had already been fired, causing a large flock of creatures to take to wing above. The Nexu in front of Logar was struck in the skull and the beast reared back only to tumble sideways and return to its four feet. It snarled in anger.

Farok was the sole combatant engaged that had been wounded proving that the beasts, too, could be quite deadly.



Going to roll for Kaida just to end this round.

[tomcat]

Kaida had a clear line of fire on the Nexu attacking Farok. She would have reacted sooner, save for the surprise at seeing the large beast emerge from the jungle foliage. She brought up her blaster carbine and fired.
