Ok, it didn't matter this time, but for the future, since Ensare is part of the goo gun, you don't have to call a shot. If you have the advantages to activate it, then it's assumed it hit the target and enough surroundings to 'Ensnare' them.Nov 10, 2022 12:13 pm
As the crew approaches the nearest freighter, several of the Imperial clad pilots/crew that were milling about stop and stare at them. Out of the corner of your eyes, you see AD-hoc firing his goo gun at an Astromech droid that goes screeching off toward the gate. Hopefully that means his distraction is working as planned.
One of the pilots steps towards you, "Hey, are guys supposed to be here?"

Thinking that they need a quick answer, Nox speaks up. "Yeah, starport's so busy that we've been hired to help out some of the civilian crews. You know keep things moving smoothly so we don't get any traffic jams."

Going with the assumption that there are civilian freighters around.OOC:
Also hoping to maybe add some boost dice or something because of familiarity with piloting, I do have 1 rank there. I'll roll basic Deception and let you add on if that's acceptable.OOC:
Whoa, Nox probably even believes himself at this point.Last edited November 11, 2022 10:50 pm

Tomas moves his hand away from his blaster as he watches the exchange. It's not hard to act the part he's just been given, as being a dock rat has actually been a good chunk of his experience since leaving home.

'Yeah, getting pretty backed up here. Logistics are a nightmare!' adds Ken. 'You got a ship needs moving?' he asks. Still calculating whether he can get onboard one of the Imperial freighters once the heat has died down.
OOC:
Not sure Ken needs to roll Deception but in case he does I've done it below. Given him a Boost for Nox's smooth talkingOOC:

Yeah, Greedo laid the groundwork for decades of Rodian discrimination. AD-hoc, you see your R2 unit double time it up to some guards near the front gate, he immediately starts beeping wildly at them. Since they probably don't understand 'Droid', it may take them a few minutes to figure out what he's saying.

"Thanks for the direction." Nox nods at the pilots and motions everyone to follow him towards the area they were directed to. On the way he ducks in behind a ship to have everyone regroup.
Nov 12, 2022 7:01 pm
AD-hoc starts walking quickly to rejoin the group. He comms the group when he sees that they are alone. "There is a good chance that in attempting to create a diversion, I have made things worse. Expediency would be highly recommended"

"Yeah, we've convinced them for now but I doubt our actions will hold out for long. Time to make a decision boys, civi or imp? Personally, I'd rather stick it to the bucket heads than someone like us, but we can go either way. Let's just pick one and get us a new ship."

'The money's in the military tech. If we're going to do it then let's go all in,' says Ken. He slips a stun grenade out of his vest, 'I say we go full frontal.'
Nov 12, 2022 8:13 pm
"Alright, but let's at least get inside one before we start shooting. We won't have long to do this." Nox switches his blaster over to the stun setting. "Might be easier to knock em out then kill em."
Nov 12, 2022 11:42 pm
Ken switches the stun setting back and forth on his blaster. 'Kill, stun, kill, stun, all the same to me when it comes to Imperials.'
Nov 13, 2022 1:43 pm
Tomas walks along with the others, hearing them speak so lightly of death and destruction with some annoyance. "As I expressed earlier, let's try and not kill anyone. And -- I must be an idiot saying this -- I would prefer an Imperial target. The civilians are relatively innocent."

"Alrighty then. Which ship do you think? That one looks nice. Or that one?" Meebos says as he he points at nearby military ships that have their ramps down but don't seem to have too many people around them. Meebo digs a tool of some kind and his droid scanner out of his pack, then shoves his blaster rifle at Nox. "Here," he says. "Somebody carry this. Use it or don't use it, but please don't lose it. Now, give me a minute, then come back me up." Before anyone can ask him what he means, Meebo starts jogging towards the chosen ship.
As he approaches, Meebo waves his scanner at the imperials around the ship, as if it is some kind of credential. "Hey. R2-54 said that C-2X9 said that the deck chief said they were getting some weird readings off this thing when you landed," he says to the closest crewman. His intent is to jog right up the ramp without stopping, chattering the whole time. "Grolf is busy, so he asked Shandra to ask me to run a diagnostic. Gotta keep this operation moving you know. Oh, and if Fibitz comes over here with gravity locks, don't let him put those on your ship. I told him it's fine, but he's just itching to gravity lock something. Aqualish - am I right?"
OOC:
Meebo is hoping to get some kind of indication from Nox or Ken about which ship to go after. If someone indicates one seems better than the others, he fixates on that one. If no one makes a preference known, he just fixes on one with the fewest people around it - or the nearest one if they're all the same.As he approaches, Meebo waves his scanner at the imperials around the ship, as if it is some kind of credential.

OOC:
Meebo is trying to confuse as much as deceive the crewmen, really just hoping to get all their attention focused on him and causing them to hesitate for a moment. He's hoping his friends will take advantage of whatever distraction results. I'll throw a standard Deception check just in case it's relevant.Rolls

As the group was pondering their target, Meebo darts off to the left and up the ramp of one of the ships. An unending stream of nonsense pours forth from him as he strides past the couple of crewmen nearest the ramp. As you pause for a second at this surprising departure, from your right you hear, "ID badges, show 'em". Looking toward the sound of the voice you see six stormtroopers in a double line. The lead one has one hand out and seems to be waiting for your ID.

Tomas suddenly believes the day just got a whole lot worse, and begins looking for whatever cover he can find. (But he tries not to be obvious about it.)

Ken fumbles in his jacket, 'It's in here somewhere, just give me a moment.' His hand closes on a stun grenade and he activates it with his thumb. 'Ah, here it is officer, this is what you're looking for...' And he throws the grenade into the crowd of stormtroopers. 'Follow Meebo' he shouts as he attempts dodge around the Imperials and sprint after the Chadra-Fan.
OOC:
So Ken will chuck a stun grenade at the Imps. Disorient 3. Stun Damage. Blast 8. Not too sure how we deal with someone getting all aggressive in such an unexpected way - whether we get a free attack or have to roll initiative. I think that's Ranged Light and I'm giving myself a Blue for surprise and another Blue for Quick Strike. I'll also chuck in a Cool roll in case it is needed for Initiative and spend some Strain on Rapid Reaction for a success and some on Side Step to upgrade the difficulty of attacks against Ken. He has Quick Draw so it should be easy enough to pull out the grenade. Presume we're at Short Range. This could all go very very wrong very very quickly!OOC:
Okay. Not bad. Let's use those Advantages to trigger Blast. So 10 stun damage to anyone engaged with the target (most of the Stormtroopers I hope). I'll take the spare advantage to reduce the strain. So that leaves a Triumph. I guess anything that facilitates us getting past the Imperials and onto that ship.Last edited November 14, 2022 11:36 pm
