STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Kato looks conflicted for just a moment. "We aren't...we aren't going to stay and fight the evil Moff?" he asks as he joins the others in a mad dash for the speeders—his sense of self-preservation taking over for once.
Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
"Feel free to stay and fight, if you must," replies Vale in between hacks of his humming lightsaber. "But there are alternatives to fighting."
Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Clark glares at the Moff, but follows his comrades to the speeders, taking pot-shots with his carbine to keep the Stormtroopers on their toes.

Zuul
Zuul has his gun up and ready when he realizes that everyone is running. He grins and bull rushes the line of troopers, slamming into one and trying to knock it into another as he breaks through to the speeders.

Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Right outside the ruins of Moff Bandor's Palace/Game Chambers
Using the explosion of the alien 'mind-waves of fear' machine that leveled the Game Chambers and Palace above it as a distraction, the group of Rebels-turned-Traders rushed towards the speeders that were behind the squad of Stormtroopers and a gaping-wide-mouth in shock Moff Bandor....
Grinning as he moved his powerful self at speed, Zuul barreled into a Blaster Rifle carrying Stormtrooper and propelled him into a carbine-carrying Stormtrooper to help clear a path for his more diminutive companions, enjoying the action the whole way. He turned and his slugthrower's grip felt RIGHT in his hand*...
Jackson Crodowski snatched the Heavy Blaster Pistol Kit'katarra had stuffed into her belt and he bolted at speed towards the Speeders, taking out the blaster power-pack and tossing the pistol away as he did so. As he passed Zuul and moved to quickly get behind the landspeeder to use as cover, he called out; "I'm gonna hot-wire this thing to turn into a make-shift grenade.....get ready to toss it at that Moff when it's ready Zuul!"
Kael exploded into action upon seeing his landspeeder, racing past the big Barabel who had just knocked a pair of Stormtroopers off their feet to clear a path and moving around the side of his machine and seeing the Engineer....Jackson, was it?....fiddling around with a blaster power-pack and saying something to Zuul about turning it into a make-shift bomb. Ducking down behind the vehicle, he let his breath out in gasps and looking back he saw most of the Stormtroopers were getting to their feet, as was the Moff. He looked at the Blaster Pistol he was carrying and a strange feeling came over him right then. He felt as if he could really help these new friends of his right....now.....everything was strangely calm and all connected and moving in slow motion*.....
Professor Clark moved behind Jackson and Kael, using his Blaster Carbine to spray some fire towards the Stormtroopers, grunting in satisfaction as one of his bolts took a Stormtrooper in the chest and put him down. He didn't quite make the Speeder, but he heard Jackson's yell about modifying a Powerpack into a make-shift bomb and his Academic's brain was spinning as he realized that they NEEDED to take out the Moff, here and now, if they wanted any chance of getting off-world in the near term. Bandor had control of every Imperial on the PLANET, so just peeling out in a Speeder wasn't going to be enough. MAYBE though, if the Moff were taken out, the confusion of who was in command of what would give them an opportunity to escape....
Kit'katarra rushed forward, swinging her Green Lightsaber at one of the Stormtroopers with a Blaster Rifle in his hands. She didn't connect, but felt a moment of joyous victory when he threw himself back and to the ground to avoid the deadly energy weapon. She felt somebody snatch her Heavy Blaster Pistol out of her belt and glanced with annoyance as Jackson raced by with the weapon in his hands. He quickly tossed it aside after pulling the Powerpack out of it and she had little time to wonder about that anymore as she moved forward and soon found herself in a line with Vale, Zuul and Clark and the rest behind her and scrambling around and behind a land speeder.....
Vale moved forward and with his Blue Lightsaber in his hands, he felt more centered....more in control.....more......one with the Force.....
As he passed the line of Stormtroopers, he swung his humming blade and was gratified to see it slice the large, Light Repat Blaster in half and send the Stormtrooper holding it scrambling back and falling to his behind on the ground. Vale moved into a back-pedal and soon found himself in a line with Kit, Zuul and Clark to either side while the rest of the band took cover behind a nice landspeeder that Kael had called out was his. The young Jedi saw the Imperials move to react to them and he just KNEW blaster bolts were going to be coming their way as he raised his weapon, calmed his nerves and closed his eyes*....
Kato rushed behind Kael towards the speeder, his head darting this way and that as he saw not one but TWO of his companions wielding lightsabers! In COMBAT! Against agents of evil! Before he knew it, he was behind the speeder with Kael near the driver's on one side of him and Jackson on the other, fiddling with a Blaster PowerPack and calling out about how he was going to turn it into a grenade. Vale, Kit, Clark and the big Barabel....Zuul?....were forming a line in between the Speeder and the Imperials and the young man suddenly felt the time to act was NOW. He had a Heavy Blaster Pistol in his hands....foes CLEARLY doing the work of the Dark Side of the Force facing him and a sudden calm feeling taking over his mind and body......it was his CHANCE to do the Light Side pround!*
OOC: Okay, Kato, Kael and Jackson are behind Kael's landspeeder and Crodowski is making a powerpack into a bomb. This will take a round. Kit, Vale, Jackson and Zuul are not behind cover, but have 7 Stormtroopers and one Moff (who is ducking for cover behind his troops) in front of them....
*All of you have Force Points left....meta-game...NOW is the time to use 'em!

Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
"We've got to take out the Moff, or we'll never make it off planet!" Clark shouts. He aims his carbine and takes a shot at one the troopers surrounding the Moff, hoping that if he can drop him it will give one of his allies a clear shot at the Moff. (Of course, if he can get a clear shot at the Moff he will take it, but I'm assuming the Moff is protected).
Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Kael knows he is not a great shot, but will join in, doing almost the exact thing as Clark, steadying on a fin of his speeder, he takes a aimed shot at a trooper in front of Moff, unless he can hit Mott. He will use a force point.
Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Vale lets the Force flow through him, and uses his powers of telekinesis to fling nearby pieces of rubble at the stormtroopers directly in front of Moff Bandor, hoping to make them stumble out of the way and reveal the sniveling coward!
OOC: Force point spent. No need to attempt damage on the troopers, just trying to get then out of the way. Dodge as necessary.

Zuul
He smiles as he comprehends Jackson's intentions. Until it's ready, however, he will fire at two troopers with his slugthrower, thinning the herd and using a force point.

Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Kato feels the force flow through him. He know that you're not supposed to use it for attack, but...maybe there's a loophole for shooting at stormtroopers who want to kill him, too? Either way, he blasts away.
Re: STARBOX Episode Two: Game Chambers of Questal
Right outside the ruins of Moff Bandor's Palace/Game Chambers
The band of Rebels-turned-Traders used the opportunity provided by the Palace exploding and falling into rubble to attempt to finally take care of the deviant Moff Bandor once and for-all....
Professor Clark ignored the pain of his wounds and fired a bolt from his Blaster Carbine into a Stormtrooper, happy to see the Imperial solider fall to never rise again, but dismayed as he realized his weapon's powerpack was now completely drained.....
Zuul took his powerful slugthrower into a two handed grip and grinning the whole time, he also shut off his mind from pain and he fired two very loud, very heavy-kickback shots and was DELIGHTED to see a pair of Imperial 'snow-men' get swept off their feet from the impact, DEFINITELY out of the fight forever....
Kato felt himself CONNECT to the mystical energy field surrounding EVERYTHING in the galaxy take ahold of him and he fired a bolt from his Heavy Blaster Pistol that drilled a Stormtrooper right in the face of the full helmet and spin the Imperial around in a half circle to collapse in a heap....
Kit'katarra rushed forward and closing her eyes for a moment, the albino Wookie felt her connection to the Force become VERY strong and she waved her Green Blade out once and then a second time and opened her eyes to see a pair of troops fall away from her in either direction like trees being cut down....
Vale also closed his eyes and felt his connection to the Force grow and with a thought, he lifted up a pair of rocks and sent them flying into the last trooper protecting the Moff, not quite knocking the trooper down, but disrupting him enough that he fired a blast straight up into the sky, doing no harm to any of them....
Kael the Diplomat saw the band of warriors around him quickly take out the Stormtroopers and suddenly the path to the Moff was clear. He sighted down the Blaster Pistol, took a breath, let it out and pulled the trigger. The bolt flew true and hit the Moff in the side and the slimy man dropped to the ground, screeching in pain. He started to call out a strange combination of threats and pleas that didn't make much sense as the hobbled over behind the last Stromtrooper still standing, the one that had been hit by Vale's floating rocks when Jackson called out, "KIT, GET DOWN!"
The Engineer handed the improvised bomb over to Zuul and the Barabel took it with a grin and hurled it in a perfect arc as his Wookie friend dove to the side and covered up. The overloaded Powerpack fell from the sky to land right behind the Stormtrooper and right in front of the Moff and then it erupted into a miniature sun for a brief moment. When the flash of light was over; the Moff and last trooper were in pieces and there were no more threats to bother them....
After a long moment of looking at each other, the escapees looked around and saw several functioning landspeeders, including to Kael's delight, his deluxe XP-38*......
*Kael's speeder can hold 4; any of the other Speeders around can do the same. There are 7 of you all together; Clark, Zuul, Vale, Kit, Kael, Kato and Jackson.

Clark isn't much of a pilot and is happy to ride along on a speeder. He helps disable the others (we will need Kael's plus one more).

Kael unlocks and opens his car, moving his overnight bag out of the front seat and shoving it in the middle back.
Starts the engine and warms it for high speed.
"I'm not a combat driver, but I can handle her at fast speeds, plenty of pratice, Haa haa haa."
Pause.
"Where are we heading?"

The use of explosives tops off his joy of getting to use his gun. Zuul finds himself satisfied for now and climbs aboard the speeder. "Home."

Right outside the ruins of Moff Bandor's Palace/Game Chambers to the Spaceport
The band of Rebels/Traders/Ex Gladiators hopped into Kael's landspeeder and a second XP-38 after disabling the others and took off as fast as they could. They soon found that the capital city and indeed, the entire planet was in chaos due to the Moff's demise and the sudden end of the 'fear machine'. They were able to capitalize on the chaos and confusion and hook up with Tyralle and Nino and get to the Nova Kestrel and get off world and then out of the Sector....
While aboard, Kit'katarra treated everyone for injuries and while on the 'Oasis' base, Nino, Tyralle and surprisingly Jackson Crodowski bid them all a fond farewell. The Rebel Engineer/Pilot had had enough of field missions for awhile and he decided to go into the R&D Wing of the Alliance while the rest received medals and some time off while Kato and Kael were welcomed into the fold*....
A long few months later, Kato and Kael rejoined the team, fresh out of training and all were riveted to the rapidly spreading news that the Emperor and Lord Vader had been taken out with the destruction of the Second Death Star at the Battle of Endor! Mon Mothma quickly declared the Alliance to Restore the Republic the Victor in the Galactic Civil War and a New Republic was officially voted on and declared by a significant portion of the Galaxy!
However, the Empire was still strong on many worlds and the conflict continued. The newly re-united team of now 'New Republic Intelligence' (NRI) Agents were given their first mission assignment to the Elrood Sector.....
OOC: Okay, thanks again to all of you for making this game what it is! We will continue with the adventures (or rather, condensed versions of them) in the 'Operation Elrood' module shortly. You are welcome to put up a post here talking about what your character has been up to these past few months...
*Kael and Kato have 10 Skill Points to spend on improving skills however they like and they gained a free +1 pip in Blaster, Brawling and Stamina in Boot Camp. (Character Sheet already updated). In addition, Kato can select up to 1,500 credits worth of gear as listed in the Equipment and Vehicle Mods thread.
Everybody else has 15 Skill Points to spend on improving skills however they like.
