Music to read and post to!

Situation: The team is in the primary cargo hold and the pirates have freed themselves above, by blowing out the bulkheads and portals. They now come, but the team does not yet know their numbers

ALL Modifiers (situational, physical, weariness, wound conditions):

  • All PC/NPC's will suffer a -5 penalty for firing into any melee, unless they are the ones in the melee or have the Precise Shot feat.
  • Darkness - PC's suffer a -5 to Perception checks and a -2 to combat unless equipped with low-light gear
  • Position -  BG1 is hidden above the team amidst the cargo crates that are suspended by maglocks

Martel - 23/96 CT -1
Mitts* - 44/80 CT -1
Hammer - 0/91
Haywire - 20/81
Longshot - 33/81

Bando Gora Captain BG1 - REF 24, HP 0/102 CT -0, Threshold 25, FP -1 [Dark Raged - gains +6 to attack and damage, spends FP to maintain for combat]
Pirates - UNKNOWN
* have taken their second wind

Consumption:
I am not going to concern with consumption due to the increased capacity of your weapons, unless you guys use autofire, or any grenades.

Initiative:
tbd as soon as enemies approach


The map below shows the layout, and blast radii of the four explosions set by Haywire. They may be fired individually for 5d6 each to any within their blast zone, or all at once for 11d6 in the entire area. I am rolling four d20's below to assure they are all active (only a roll of 1 will mean one is not armed correctly)
Roll(1d20)+0: 2,+0 Total:2
Roll(1d20)+0: 20,+0 Total:20
Roll(1d20)+0: 17,+0 Total:17
Roll(1d20)+0: 15,+0 Total:15

you guys can give me a general idea where you are on the map. Matt, I will apply your Perception roll to this round.

 :ooc: After helping Mitts, Longshot would prefer to scramble somewhere with a good line-of-sight and some coverage for safety (higher is better, if possible). He'd set up with his rifle and attempt to lock down an area that Martel specified.

Hammer watched the ropes drop from the ceiling as the pirates called down to them.  There's no way they could be that stupid, he thought to himself as he made sure that his team was in position to cover the lift.

"This smells like a trap.  I'm going to cover our rear to make sure they're not sneaking up behind us. Haywire, Mitts, You guys light up anything that comes down that shaft.  Longshot, Get someplace that you can see in both directions."

Hammer then walks across the freight lift and crouches behind one of the pallets there so that he has a good view of both the far end of the bay as well as the inside of the freight lift by glancing one direction or the other.

"Commander, we're set down here."

"Roger that sir."

Haywire takes cover behind another of the pallets so that he can see the enemies soon to be coming out of the lift. He prepares his detonators and waits for enemies to start coming through.

The troopers took cover with three of the members watching the lift entrance and Hammer covering their rear. Martel jumped from high above to land safely on the deck, the Force slowing his fall. As he landed, clinking sounds were heard landing in the man-lift, as well, and then a hiss. Smoke began to grow and then billow out of the man-lift entrance. As the smoke rolled out into the cargo bay, the high whine of something fast-roping down, and then heavily landing emanated from the elevator tube.



:ooc: Hammer, I need a Perception DC 14

Everybody else, let me know what you want to do pre-combat. I am essentially giving you first actions since they have to come down the tube.

Martel quickly reacts, using the Force to knock the smoke grenade back into the lift and activates his lightsabers.  "Let's get the job done."

:ooc:  Hey Matt, you can take back your Use the Force action for this round if you want - the smoke canisters that were dropped are in the man-lift tube, but the smoke is billowing out of the door. Everyone will be affected by a -5 concealment to the attacks at anyone within the smoke, unless you have some sort of infrared sighting (not low-light, which is what most of you have).

So, anyway, keep your SWIFT action activate lightsaber and cool dialogue, but you are welcome to do over your STANDARD and MOVE actions.

Hammer gets down behind some of the crates hoping to spring his own trap on anyone sneaking up from their rear.  He braces is weapon and prepares to fire on the pirates as soon as he has a clear shot.

:ooc: Hey Matt, yes, there are plenty of skids and pallets of cargo that could be Force lifted and placed in front of the access door from the elevator shaft.

Save for the smoke, nothing had yet come out of the lift exit. Were the pirates in there waiting for their own smoke to clear with weapons poised?

Behind the team, from his vantage point, Hammer could hear the sounds of many booted feet coming down the emergency stairwell to the cargo hold deck. He lifted his rifle to the direction of the door as it pushed open and spilled forth a dozen armed pirates. He was right! They were using the elevator shaft as a ruse.

:ooc: Hammer has surprise attack on these pirates and all are flat-footed. I will update the header post to reflect the bad guys stats.

Hammer waited for a moment, letting the pirates think they had the drop on him, but in reality he was waiting for them to come out of the stairway so that he could hit more of them while they were in the open.

As they poured through the door he whispered through the Comm to the team,"I was right, they're trying to sneak up behind us.  I don't want to give up the element of surprise so on my count, turn and light them up."

Once the main body of them were out and in the open Hammer flips his selector to full auto and
"Three, Two, One, FIRE!" He pulls the trigger, pouring bursts of deadly light into the midst of the group.

Martel reset himself upon receiving the new intel.  Just as the pirates burst through, he launched a wave of force in their direction.

 :ooc: Martel will use Force Blast, moving close enough if necessary.

"Blast it!" Haywire said to nobody in particular, this fight was quickly turning against the squad and he knew that they needed to get out of this death trap. Haywire hooked his already primed detonator to his belt where he could easily reach it, turned and fired his underslung grenade launcher at the center of this new group of pirates.

DC Unknown grenade launcher +10 (4d6+5, 2-square burst) with Point Blank Shot
Rolled 1d20 : 2, total 2

Rolled 4d6 : 5, 3, 6, 5, total 19
