[sdrotar]

Caden saw Brim crumple to the ground; the last still-living friend he had before this madness all began.
If Brim was truly dead, all Caden could do was mourn him -- if they lived to do so. That was his only focus. It had to be.
He gritted his teeth, hearing the crunch in his head as he did so, and targeted a Bando Gora soldier.

He wasn't sure how they could stop the shadowy Force-user, but he did know they'd have a better chance at it if he didn't have any help left.
Caden found one in his sights and squeezed the trigger...

[Jingo]

Kaida swept the scene with her scope and saw Brim holding his own throat and then crumple to the ground. She fought against the fear she felt as well as the inclination that passed through her to run to his side, to pull him to safety. The healer in her hated not being able to help him. The commander in her knew that if she pulled even one gun away from the firing line, they might not survive this day. She uttered a quick prayer for Brim, hoping he was still alive, and spoke into her comm. It was an effort to keep the panic out of her voice, but she was very good at masking it. "Brim is down, but we're taking it too them! Keep it up."

She allowed just the right amount of urgency and confidence to mix in her tone, hoping to keep the team functioning. "Farok, I know you're a little busy, but can you do anything for him? Fett and Caden, that Bando Gora and the darksider are out in the open, hit them with everything you've got."


Move Action: She'll give Inspire Haste to Farok. Perhaps he can do something to help revive Brim?
Standard: She'll shoot at the soldier.

Also remember that everyone in Kaida's LOS gets +1 To Hit this entire encounter due to Kaida's Born Leader talent. I didn't see it in the All Modifiers notes of the thread last round or on this one. Don't know if it would have made any difference, but just a reminder.

At least with Brim down, she didn't have to worry about hitting her friend, she thought wryly. She centered her scope on remaining Bando Gora soldier and squeezed the trigger again.

Shoots at soldier 1d20+7 : 1 + 7, total 8

[Jingo]

Lame!  Knew my dice rolling luck wouldn't hold out forever. Someone kick it!

[Telcontar]

Farok heard the comms key to life and heard all the transmissions. He spoke out loud, unsure if his words would transmit or not. "We need a game changer, now. we are loosing this fight."

Farok closed his eyes. He reached out to the Twi'lek far away on the gun ship. Then he gave himself up to the force to be an instrument of its will.

"NAZARA JINN, DAHAMA FEDAYKIN!!!" If this was the battle he was saved for, he accepted his force fate in it.

[Telcontar]

Farok swung the lightsaber in a deep sweeping arc in is own personalized blend of makashi. Facing the Bando Gora Captain he knew his allies could not aid him directly, with the fall of Brim he was the only one in melee combat.

A couple things, Tom...

1) You said in the last round that as soon as you have the actions, you wanted to use Consular's Vitality on Brim -- SWIFT action this round

2) To contact the Twi'lek via the Force this round will require a Use the Force roll DC 15 -- STANDARD action which will be your MOVE action, but swapped with Kaida's Inspire Haste

3) You attack the Bando Gora captain this round -- STANDARD action

To Jared...

No, I forgot about your bonus from Born Leader. I am not going to change past rolls, but I will make sure they are added this round and forward.

Farok reached out with the Force to try and touch Ardana, sending her a telepathic call for help. What the Twi'lek could do at this point was to be seen, but still they needed aid. The former jedi opened his eyes to see one of the Bando Gora run into the large three story building in front of him, loping as it did in its simian way. The real horror came as the Shade, now standing over the fallen form of Brim, raised his lightsaber and then stabbed it down into the Rodian's chest. Farok felt a tremor in the Force as Brim died, but there was little he could do. The large shape in front of him spun its Force pike and stabbed it into the mid-rift of the man.

[tomcat]

WOW! How cool was that for Farok!! WOOT!

Okay, I just need BIT's action this round. I will change any result if his actions cause a change.

LOL! I also forgot Kaida's +1 bonus... going back through to see if anything changes...

and it didn't!

[GandalfOfBorg]

   I hate Mediacom ... have I mentioned that before?

In the heat of battle, the Bando Gora captain moves in a way that surprises BIT and his next shot misses wide.

RC - Roll(1d20)+12: 5,+12 Total:17
