Situation: Ranie's mansion is attacked. Caden and Sam have fired up the Aegis and are flying to the driveway area of the compound (this will take a total of 4 rounds, starting at round 2, to fire up the ship, move it and set it down - and yes, Shawn, there is plenty of room on the drive. Ranie had the platform set away from his property to reduce noise. So, starting round 6, the Aegis will be landed, or hovering, on/over the drive.)
Situational Modifiers: none.
Physical Modifiers: It is night time and -2 darkness penalty applies for all actions (n/a for Med Facility) unless the PC has special ability/equipment (troopers have low-light vision headgear); any map corner that represents a wall may be used as cover; furnishings will offer limited cover based on the weapon
Initiative:
Shade (+13) 20
Britton (+9) 16
Jasper (+6) 14
Hacks (+6) 14
Brim (+6) 12
Qinos (+8-1) 8
Sam and Caden - n/a, hovering the ship over the drive (1 more rounds to land)
Jaspers explosives go off:
- Each strut made of permacret can withstand 150 pts of damage, DR ignored due to successful Mech tests; if damage reduces the strut by more than 40% (60 points), it will crack.
- Jasper's explosives each deal 15d6 damage plus 2d6 for his Demolitionist talent
- There are 10 struts on the ocean side of the house; at least two struts must break in a row to cause structural integrity to fail and from there the weight of the house will pull itself over the side; the strut count below starts at the Staff/Office side of the house to the Main house.
- The PC's will have enough time to exit the house based on the number of struts that survive (i.e. if 5 struts still stand, there will be 5 rounds to exit.)

The Aegis roared over the tree tops and Caden flared her out as she swooped above the mansions large driveway. The man could easily see that there was room to accomodate a landing... it was then that a series of bright flashes erupted from the opposite side of Ranie's home!
The charges that had been attached to the mansion's support struts were shaped explosives. Hacks had designed the demolitions so they would release the better percent of energy in a single direction - primarily, into the stuts on which they were attached. The result desired was for the explosives to sheer through each support, and allow gravity to do the rest.
Inside the house, the staccato sound of rippling explosions deafened everyone. The mansion shook from end to end as its structural supports were exposed to more energy than they were made to endure, and those within were thrown to the floor. For any that could still hear, a terrible groaning began to emanate from the house.
:ooc: All PC's in the house must make a Reaction Acrobatics roll DC 15 to stay on their feet after the explosions.

Shade completes the hole he was cutting and then jumps to the ground below (standard and move actions).
Caden saw the detonations along the struts and instantly knew what was happening - Kal's home was going over the side. They had gotten in too deep; these weren't street gangsters - they were going after religious and political leaders. Kal, Kex, his friends - and all his new companions... how many might he lose today? If they lived through this, he had half a mind to head for the sky and never return.
He caught a glimpse of what appeared to be - a lightsaber? - flashing upon the roof, only for a moment. Caden wasn't sure; he hadn't seen one before up close, and wasn't in any hurry to, either. Blaster fire could be seen in some of the windows.
He hit the comlink, his voice straining. "Sam, the mansion's collapsing - it's under attack! Get on the gun - we'll need to cover any of our people that get out of there. I'll take us low across the top towards the front side."
Kara moved from the bathroom to the table quickly and pulled her modified blaster out and headed to the door. Looking out the door carefully, she tried to hear where the sound of blaster fire was coming from and move in that direction.
