Lin hauls after the bodyguard who shouldered him aside. Lin's careful enough to look non-threatening the couple of times the guy looks back, but as he closes the distance, Lin's blaster comes up and fires into the leading bodyguard (the one next to the mark). This shocks the guy no fewer than 10 feet from Lin greatly and he stumbles and falls, rolling carefully before popping back up -- right in Lin's way and looking unhappy.
OOC:
Lin has a setback die for his next action.
Lin's shot lands -- blue fire coalescing around the bodyguard who stumbles slightly and falls to the ground in surprise. He's able to turn the fall into a controlled fall and ends up half-prone rather than flat-faced. He encourages his charge to keep running, signalling that he should keep heading into the center of the city. Passerby look at the unfolding drama with curiosity -- it's like some kind of Outer Rim backwater with people shooting at each other.
Fuzil brings up the rear -- not far behind Lin -- also within medium range of the leading pair and short range to the lagging bodyguard. His soup sloshes dangerously in its to-go container, but Fuzil's concentration manages to keep everything where it belongs. Nonetheless, given the blaster fire, he's suspicious the soup is going to have to get dropped pretty quickly...
Akhrirar hops elegantly into the speeder and with a cutting hand signal instructs Mala to floor it around the building to catch up with Lin and the runaway mark. Mala obliges and manages to have the speeder burst ahead -- narrowly missing the side of the building. She and her greenclad passenger come around the corner at high speed and see Lin and Fuzil arrayed before them with one of the bodyguards facing Lin. About a two dozen meters or so on, the mark is pumping his arms furiously as the other guard -- on his knees -- coaxes him onward.
OOC:
Round
nearly ends (see note at end). Mala - I opted for an 'easy' piloting roll as you're in the city. 1 purple. That removed 2 of your failures. I also added Ahkrirar's boost die.
Current status:
Lead guard -- Larry (for L): has taken 1 9-hit stun before soak. Range medium to Fuzil and Lin.
Rear guard -- Ralph (for R): standing, short range to Lin and Fuzil, cranky.
Lin and Fuzil -- range medium from the door way (Acaatha, Mala and Akhrirar).
Lin takes 2 strain for an extra maneuver (your gun can't hit Long range so I assumed you closed to medium). Lin recovers 1 strain from his advantage for a total strain of -1.
Fuzil takes 2 strain for his extra maneuver.
NOTE: Acaatha -- you may have another round of action before the NPCs go (I'm not going to count getting to the door against you). Others may post next-round actions if you like, or you may wait for the NPC round.
NOTE: Mala -- you end with one advantage based on the boost provided. Any declared benefit?
