((Never split the party, btw that's still not how area attacks work post-errata, and splash damage is something completely different. I'm not being mean, I'm just making it hard on purpose. Trying to put the fear of the Empire into you. Rolls are still in your favor though, you only tooke 1 out of 3 attacks per turn so far, nicely done.))<br/><br/>Your shots go off in the right direction, but only hit the cover as the soldiers pull back between bursts, learning from their mistake. [You need to hit reflex 10 to deal half damage in the area]<br/>Then they open fire once more, as does the other squad. It's getting harder and harder to protect yourself from them, as they start figuring out your cover! The blue ring of a stun bolt hits your leg this time, your limb almost going numb. [Move 2 down on the CT and lose 10 hp]<br/>The blood freezes in your veins as you hear another stun grenade land in you vicinity. Perhaps due to luck, or to adrenaline, you manage to a void the worst of it once again, but you barely have any fight left in you. [Lose 6 more hp]<br/><br/><strong>"Surrender now, and I promise it won't be painful! Otherwise we can do it without sedatives this time."</strong>- the woman yells a threat to you over the sound gunfire.<br/>For a moment you consider if there's any point in going on like this... it seems hopeless. Then again, they tried to<em>remove your eyes from your skull</em>! You see the limp body of Kelly to the side, and realize you will be like her if you lose here. Lost, broken and dreams shattered. Your fate seems inevitable, then there is another sound coming from over the hangar...<br/>You look out from your cover carefully and see an airspeeder leveling itself with you just outside the bay entrance. It is driven by a duros, and from the back seat, a rodian turns towards you guys, with a repeating blaster! With a screech that must be a battle cry in his language, the bug-faced alien lets out a massive burst of red bolts, his sweep bathing the squard you wounded before in hot plasma. They scream in terror as they are decimated by the unexpected reinforcements. A black-skinned human man stands up from the second front seat with a pistol in his hand, aiming for the imperials as well. Looking your ways he shouts<strong>"MOVE YOUR ASS I'LL COVER YOU!"</strong>while trying to supress some of the enemies fire.<br/>Now's your chance to flee, but what about Kelly? She's paralyzed as she is, not cut out to become a rebel... and now she is incapacitated.<br/><br/>What will you do?<br/>Try to take her with you, somehow?<br/>-or-<br/>Stay and fight until either the imps or you fall?<br/>-or-<br/>MOVE YOUR ASS AND GET OUT!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Status</div><div class="spoiler_body">Squad 1: dead<br/>Squad 2: Uninjured  -- within move range, cover<br/>Officer: Uninjured  -- within charge (double move) range, cover<br/>Kelly: Unconscious  --  within move range<br/>Interlopers: status unknown  -- within triple move range<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Interlopers</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.bloomilk.com/Images/Characters/RS44DurosMercenary.jpg)(http://www.bloomilk.com/Images/Characters/BH46RodianHuntMaster.jpg)(http://www.bloomilk.com/Images/Characters/KotOR22CaptainPanaka.jpg)</div></div></div></div>
