Shadows of Bankor

Get that Thing I sent you?

The Inquisitor was in a frazzled state, she had to turn Mahon over or risk… everything and yet she wanted him to be safe but she was still bound to the Empire could she just stop… could she? Mahon had accepted her, he was angry but in the end he held her and listened. Could others?

It didn’t matter as she stalked the communications facility making sure this message got out to the sector. The Resistance would die here and then her and Mahon could be together… unless they killed him too.

OOC: This is a combat thread versus the 13th Inquisitor (Nemesis 3, Defense 1), she starts off conflicted so she suffers a setback on rolls. She has three squads of storm troopers in groups of 4 with her.

Players at Short range can attempt to reach her with a Charm or Leadership check versus Hard (3 Purple), they gain a boost die if they are Jedi. This attack of sorts has a Base damage of 5 and she has an Emotional Soak of 3 if the players can exceed 15 Emotional Wounds she will finally be free of her torment and see the Light. Jedi/Force Users may add their Force die to this roll if they do not have it committed of course, each pip adds a success or advantage.

They can of course just try and kill/defeat her as normal. This is open to 4 players. They are trying to get access to send a message to the sector and beyond.

The Resistance needed him. Petrus had made a promise to Mahon, and to the others. And so while he trusted that his best friends could save the Resistance leaders, he had another job to do.

Dressed in his new field-suit, and with his lightsaber on his hip, Petrus was ready. It had been so long since he'd used it. Well, hopefully it would come back to him.

Petrus took a deep breath, steadying himself. He was ready.

The resistance on Bankor was in a tight spot, Safe in their new base for now, they needed to get the word out to their allies if they were to have a chance of surviving long-term. This attack on the comm site was a crazy plan, but Sinnya had found herself a lot more willing to do crazy things lately, and so far none of them had killed her...

And then she senses a presence she'd not felt since... well, about three weeks ago?

Ru'ni was prepared to lay his life on the line for the Aznuri, for Bankor and for the Resistance. He had emotional ties that he was not ready to give up, but as Viati had told him last night, would he really be himself if he didn't follow through on what he believed?

Wearing one of the trooper helmets from the fight with the Chaldi, he had ripped the face panel off and decked himself out in the warpaints of his people and prepared his bow. This was war.

It had been a choice a tough one but at the end of the day he wanted to help the resistance more than he cared about making himself or Vandil more money. He stood in his new armor matte grey finish absorbing nearby light he gave his blaster a once over and nodded to his friends. They were going to secure that transmitter or die trying.

Would also like to start as far back as possible and would it be possible to start in stealth?

OOC: Simple Cool checks everyone for Initiative, Players start at Medium and you will need to make a stealth check in combat to use stealth as an action.

His bow string drawn tight against his cheek, Ru'ni entered the fray like a hunter tracking his prey.

“Is this my final test?” she said desperately.

Ru'ni drew a line on his target and slowed his breathing taking his time to carefully aim his shot before he loosed the arrow.

It wasn't as effective as he had hoped, and the arrow didn't detonate at all. Maybe it was damaged, he hoped the next one would be more effective.

The arrow lances a poor storm trooper and they go down with a scream.

OOC: Troopers #1 (1 down, 3 left.)

After one falls to an arrow the group move behind consoles at fire at the Aznuri, only a storm trooper is so precise! They keep the blasts coming restricting his movements.

OOC: Troopers #1 move to Cover and then fire. Ru'ni takes 11 wounds and he will a setback on his next action. Next PC.

Troopers #1 vs. Ru'ni: 2eP+1eA+2eD 2 successes, 2 advantage

Blaster fire was flying. He pulled his lightsaber from his belt, igniting it in the same smooth motion. It came to light with its distinctive snap-hiss, its pure blue glow illuminating the area.

"The Force fights with us!" Petrus cried out as he charged a group of Stormtroopers. And indeed, he seemed to be guided by the Force, the blade of his lightsaber cleaving through one opponent after the other.

As the chaos broke out Dak made a tactical movement back to creating more distance with his opponents. Once further back behind cover he took a shot at the same group as Ru'ni. His bolt went wide but caused a trooper to slam into the inquisitor knocking her off balance.

Sinnya squeezed off a shot to fell the last of the troopers who'd shot at Petrus, angling the beam of her rifle to make its origin point less clear in the confusion of combat. Then she ducked behind a nearby duracrete half-wall ((or, like... a control panel or something? I wasn't sure if we're indoors or out!)).

Her heart was pounding in her throat, but everyone was still alive so far...

D5 EN Thirteen fight--round 1, pick off the solo trooper from medium range. Ranged Heavy! Boost from Dak.: 1eP+3eA+1eB+2eD 2 successes, 3 advantage

Sinnya is at Medium from the troopers, Petrus, and 13, probably Short from Ru'ni and Medium from Dak.

The indoor control echoed her shot as the storm trooper went down! Goodbye Rooster, you know he ain't gonna die... until he does.

OOC: Group #2 is gone.

13th Sister looked all around at the violence… the anger and then her hands covered in so much blood and for what? She had nearly killed the one thing she loved… out of Fear. She was stronger than this, wasn’t she?

No the Dark Side was strong!

She remembered the serenity of Qareme and knew the Light was stronger.

The 13th Sister closed her eyes.

OOC: Failed but using Advantage 3 of them to lower difficulty this round to Average instead of Hard to reach her. Using Advantage to grant her next ally a boost die. using Light Pips for successes. That is 6 emotional wounds after soak.

Ru'ni had a plan. It wasn't a very good plan, but he surveyed the battlefield and came to a conclusion - he was the most expendable.

He unleashed a withering rain of arrows upon the targets that he forced behind cover last round trying to create a distraction for his allies. He nailed one in the chest dropping him, then the explosion ripped through the area taking out another trooper.

He just hoped it would be enough.

Dak grit his teeth and quickly stimmed himself feeling the pain relief he exhaled as he took sight at the group that shot at him. The Cathar lined up his shot perfectly the devastating bolt burning through laminate and flesh in an instant he could see clear through all three bodies as they dropped.
