The Action VI

[tomcat]

I am fine with that... I will go ahead and roll for Deadpool just so we can move the scene on.

Climb
DC 10 Climb +5, Assist +2

1d20+7 : 5 + 7, total 12

Stealth
DC opposed Stealth +17, Assist +2

1d20+19 : 7 + 19, total 26

Hammer moved quickly to aid his men to climb into positions, while Martel took up a place on the deck behind a loadlifter. The mech-droid sat quietly, but it was the least of their worries as it could pretend to be one of the ship's many droids. The sergeant finished with the assistance to his men, and each had quietly gotten into position, but he did not have for himself. Hammer found himself clinging to the backside of a pallet of crates, out of sight, but not in a good attack position.



Because Hammer rolled a 9 on his Climb, he doesn't fall or make noise, just doesn't make it into a convenient position at this point.

The worst roll on Stealth was a 26 - I need to roll an opposed check:

DC 26 Perception +4, Concealment -5

1d20-1 : 11 - 1, total 10

Derecho watched from their positions atop crates and other cargo as the pirate crew began to fan out and search the cargo deck. Two of the group wandered back towards the engines, while the rest moved amongst the cargo strewn chamber. They were seemingly oblivious to the presence of the ARC troopers and Hammer was finally able to slide further up on the environmental crate on which he had hung. Now on his belly, his blaster at the ready, the sergeant surveyed the team and the enemy as the latter searched. They had good firing positions but the less noise the better.

The Trandoshan sniffed at the air, his head looking left and right as if he was trying to discern something in the air, but then he moved through the corridor into the repulsor control chamber. The rest of his people - save the two towards the engines, and the engineer they had spoken with - followed the way Derecho had come, back towards the sensor array.



I don't have you guys marked on the map, but I will add if you guys engage. For now, I just show the direction (and numbers) of bad guys.

Steath - 1d20+8 : 4 + 8, total 12

[GandalfOfBorg]

Martel will wait a moment for the patrol to clear out before continuing with their movement -- fewer enemy to engage at a time, the better.

[Stefan]

Hammer watches the patrol pass through the doorway.  The tension had gone up quickly there for a moment.  He hoped they'd hidden the bodies of those engineers well enough.  Martel had a better view of the doorway so he waited for the all clear signal before moving out of their hide.

[tomcat]

You guys are starting to move out, but you still have a bad guy engineer in your path.

Do you still move out?

[Stefan]

 My first thought is to have Longshot take him out but I'm guessing that would be loud enough to get the attention of everyone else on this level.

Is the engineer moving around or just standing there looking at that one panel?

[tomcat]

He's moving from one console display to the next, slowly moving back the way he came out. He's very engrossed in his task.

[Stefan]

Hammer waits, watching the engineer till he moves around the corner again then quietly moves up to the corner himself.  Once there he steps around and uses a knifehand to silence this engineer like he had the last.

Yes, I just figured out that with Martial Arts I my hands do more damage than the knife.

Stealth +17

Rolled 1d20+17 : 16 + 17, total 33

Atk the engineer

1d20+9 : 9 + 9, total 18

(Hopefully flat footed)

1d6+2 : 3 + 2, total 5

[GandalfOfBorg]

 If taking out the engineer was successful...
Martel whispers, "Put the body out of the way on the crates and let's get moving."

[disench4nted]

Haywire watched tensely as Hammer snuck up behind the Engineer, ready to leap into action at a moments notice if things should go wrong.

[tomcat]

The engineer did not see or hear the clone sergeant move up from behind him and swing. There was brief moment as if stars were in his eyes, the pain reaching down his back from his neck. The pirate staggered to one knee and dropped his datapad, which clattered softly on the metal grate flooring. Hammer saw that the one blow was not quite enough to render the man unconscious and dealt him one more quick jab of his gauntleted fist.

Mitts tossed his CO a set of binder cuffs as he ran up to take position next to where the engineer now lay. Once secured and gagged, Hammer and Longshot saw about concealing the body. The rest of Derecho moved up, the small mechdroid rolling behind them. Haywire kept an eye to their rear, bust as of yet the Trandoshan still had most of his team forward in the sensor array compartment.

They looked around. The team stood directly on the primary cargo lift and on either side of the platform were two large environmental control machines. Two sets of stairs mirrored one another across the deck, and the entrance to the lower engineering compartment was before them.

[GandalfOfBorg]

 The stairs going down... do you mean they go down to the next level with the engine/reactor room?

[tomcat]

No, the stairs on the map all go up to the next level, except the one that enters the area I labeled lower engineering.

You guys are basically all in position on the big blue rectangle, which is the ship's primary cargo lift. There are two Nikyo bad guys that went back into the engineering compartment.

See attached pic... any more questions, ask...
