Shadows

[tomcat]

The remainder of the team followed after the troopers that led the way through the maze of cargo towards the shining tube of the man-lift.

Martel saw the shape moving along the top of one of the stacks of crates that hung suspended by maglocks. He made to yell, but was not in time as the shadow hurled itself at Mitts. The corpsman went down and was now involved in a physical melee. In front of the attack and to the left, Haywire, too, was ambushed though the explosives-tech was faster on his feet and evaded the bull rush charge.

Seeing two of his men attacked, Hammer began to scan around to see if there were any other shapes, but none were yet visible.



Both of these characters are now NPC's (their players are gone) so I am going to roll out this first round of combat here. I will start a round 2 post after you all get a chance to post any dialogue/narrative that you want.

The Bando Gora both get the first attack in this round, but Mitt's is considered surprised and flat-footed

The attacks were brutal, even to the demo-tech who saw the Bando Gora coming. Mitts was knocked to the ground by the long force pike held in the shadow's hands - the sound of his armor cracking as it speared his chest. Haywire, too, was slammed but he recovered enough to put a point-blank shot into his attacker's form.

Martel moves to intercept the enemy pinning Mitts.  He reaches out to the Force to somehow harm this dark creature.

"Longshot, we've got company"

Hammer quickly turned his weapon on the one that attacked Mitts, braced and fired on it.
assuming I can do both. If not I'll just brace and prepare for next round.

Game update: waiting on Shawn's and disench4nted's posts.

This is just an update to remind me where I am with our three games - not a snipe at any players, nor a rush to get you to actions.

[disench4nted]

Haywire cursed under his breath as his attacker's weapon seared the skin on his arm through his armor. He landed a quick reflex shot and dove backwards so let the rest of his squad get a clear shot.

"Longshot, we've got company"

"What else is new," Longshot quipped. Seeing Martel and Hammer focused on Mitts' attacker, Longshot brought his rifle to bear on Haywire's.

Rolled 1d20+10 : 6 + 10, total 16

Rolled 3d8+7 : 2, 8, 8 + 7, total 25

Results of team's attacks:

Martel causes a break in the Force for BG4 for 10 hours, which it cannot spend a FP and will go down -1 on CT for each power used in the time period

Sorry - I did not explain this round well, but I am allowing you to keep them for round 2, but Hammer and Longshot did not make the needed Perception check above to make an attack in this surprise round. Only Haywire and Martel were successful, and thus their reactions are valid for this round.

I will allow the rolls made for Hammer and Longshot to count for round 2, or you may re-do your actions.
