"Hall, please help Avro receive our new guest in the dock. Let them be free from the cold, but don't let them in the rest of the ship yet. We shall have a talk with them first.
Avro, please control the ice. More ooze may come, we are not free from them.
Doctor, let's get Krom to our med-bay."

Then he starts jogging to Krom, to pick him up.
Nov 2, 2024 5:26 pm
"Acknowledged."
Nov 3, 2024 12:54 pm
"Got it!", Alandra says following Stinger and helping him pick up Krom.

Alandra spots a change is an icy surface. Fortunately is is still dozens of yards away but heading towards you and the ship. She highlights the location on her HUD bor Avro before moving to assist in the retreat and recovery.

With the visual assist from Alandra, Avro now has a target lock on a target but the sensors indicate there are more than one, and it looks like more are inbound. Still limited to the point defense lasers (attack at disadvantage) Avro urges the crew to get aboard so the ships main weapons can be brought to bear.

Are Stinger and Allandra still getting Krom inside the ship, or have them arrived inside already?
I'd guess HAL arrives inside before them, right?

Despite Luminaras suspicion, she nevertheless slowly looses her belief that they are being lead into a trap - the strangers ought to be very good actors in order to fake fighting a foe that is not there. Or.... there is actually something there, which wouldn't be great either.
Luminara keeps her eyes and ears peeled, sticking close to Allen.

Stinger and Alandra rush to grab the body of their fallen comrade before turning to head back to the Odyssey. Hal is nearly back to the ship which is opening its cargo bay doors to accept the crew and refugees.

As you run several lumps begin rising up and sliding over the ice in pursuit of the group.

Acrobatics test of Save test to cross the ice at high speed without trouble.
OOC:
Still going round by round at the moment but more of a chase scene than combat at the moment. Avro can go twice and everyone else can go again as most enter the ship, followed by Stinger and Alandra bringing up the rear a bit later due to their distance and load. Most will be running but Avro is just sitting in the ship so can scan/shoot etc, and those that reach the ship can act as they see fit.

As soon as the path is clear, Avro starts firing laser blast in to the area where the ice oozes are approaching...

Rolls

first laser barrage - (1D6)

(2) = 2

second laser barrage - (1D6)

(4) = 4

Next round laser fire - (1d6, 1d6)

1d6 : (1) = 1

1d6 : (4) = 4

Nov 4, 2024 3:24 pm
"Everybody Ruunnnn!!!"

Rolls

added save - (2d6)

(14) = 5

Laser fire strikes the ice behind everyone as you rush towards the ship but the ice ooze prices difficult to target and the shifting lumps if the enemy continue their pursuit. Panting Luminara and Allen make the ship right behind HAL and turn to see Stinger and Against staggering under the aquard weight of the armor figure they carry. At your best estimate the leading ice ooze will arrive meer moments after the two. The main cargo ramp you used for ground access is not fact and will take a bit of time to seal after the last crew members get aboard.
Nov 4, 2024 7:29 pm
Avro starts spinning up all the Odyssey's weapons and prepares to fire all a few meters ahead of the ramp... once everyone on the ramp and it starts raising, Avros will smoke the area.
OOC:
The goal isn't to target any ooze but a target area (like artillery) hoping to either cause collateral damage to the oozes or make them hesitate.

Rolls

fire lasers - (2d6)

(56) = 11

Fire gravity cannon - (2d6)

(26) = 8

Nov 4, 2024 10:01 pm
"Running!", Alandra says as she runs in lock step with Stinger. Her grip tightens on Krom's arm.
Nov 4, 2024 10:01 pm
OOC:
Acrobats save

Rolls

Acrobats - (2d6)

(11) = 2

"Avro, ooze can't jump, please hover the ship half a meter high. We can easily get Krum inside and climb it, while keeping the ooze away.
HAL, please lead the refugees to a side of the bay to free the entrance."

Stinger, making the best out of his several arms and legs, gets Krum up, helps Alandra up and then jumps in.

If Avro could hover the ship, and Stinger sees ooze too close he will shoot them. Otherwise, he will run to the pilot seat and fly the ship only high enough for the ooze NOT to climb the ship.

"Oh my!"

Luminara finally spots these well-hidden attackers. Not the attackers themselves, for their hiding is supreme, but she does notice the bumps in the ice as they appear to be moving under the forzen surface - or something like that, anyways. She isn't exactly sure what they are up against, but it seems that whatever is out there seems hostile. Most likely some kind of planetary predator?
Catching her breath, Luminara takes a moment to look back at the approaching bumps, as well as the strangers carrying one of their own, who doesn't seem to be moving. A dire situation.

"You alright?"

The tyranaxi woman turns to her friend and comrade in escape, Allen the Human. It must have been noticeably harder for him to run all of this distance, having shorter legs and all.
Considering the approaching foes, Luminara also decides that she can trust these strangers - for now, at least, until this situation is dealt with. After all, they offered shelter in their ship and don't appear to be actively hostile.
With that, she'll retrieve the rod made out of hard ice that she fabricated earlier, swinging it in her left hands a few times to get its weight profile. If the critters emerge to... bite, or claw or wahtever, she'll try to fight back.

Avro abandons the weapons station and moves over to the pilot control... Having never piloted a ship of this size, they take a deep breath and focus on the controls... Avro talks herself through the steps.

Step 1, cold start of the planetary thrusters.
Step 2, Increase thrust gently to create separation form the surface and avoid hitting the crashed ship.
Step 3, Hover the ship in place.
OOC:
If I fail, repeat each step until successful of Stinger get to the bridge.

Rolls

Step 1 (if disadvantaged use first die) - (2d6)

(45) = 9

Step 2 (if disadvantaged use first die) - (2d6)

(35) = 8

Step 3 (if disadvantaged use first die) - (2d6)

(46) = 10

"You are doing great Avro!!" Stinger says while getting to the bay
Nov 5, 2024 1:24 pm
Alandra and Stinger both stumble and slip on the ice as they try to reach the ship. Luminara also slips a bit before Allen lends her a hand and thy scramble aboard the ship. as it lifts off from the surface under power of its thrustes. Moments later Stinger and Alandra drag the body of Krom and shove it up for the others to grab. As they do the first of the ice ooze reach the area and move the envelope their feet. As they jump the large and stong hands of Luminara reach down and pull the two aboard quickly.

Rolls

Save to move fast - (Luminara:2d6, Allen:2d6)

Luminara:2d6 : (11) = 2

Allen:2d6 : (51) = 6

Ice Ooze envelop - (Stinger:3d6, Alandra:3d6)

Stinger:3d6 : (424) = 10

Alandra:3d6 : (222) = 6

With the crew all safely aboard Avro closes the cargo doors and activates the ships main weapons unleashing a barrage of heavy weapons fire. After several seconds of this the scanners indicate the hostile creatures have either been destroyed or moved off.

Meanwhile in the cargo hold 5 figure get a good look at each other. The rapid manners have shifted things and the two newcomers note signs of battle within the hold and a lack of any other crew, a bit odd for a ship of this size.
Nov 5, 2024 4:53 pm
Stinger breaths heavily, more than a glimpse of fatigue in his face... But things are not ok yet.
"Hello refugees, I'm glad you were able to reach us.
We shall have some time to talk soon, but we must first see that Krum here gets to the med bay, so doctor Allandra can check him up, and either cure him or freeze him for healing later.

Hal, they must be freezing under those makeshift suits, please help them into proper suits and a nice hot drink. Then we can try again the sensors to find Sam.

Well done Avro, you may have talent for piloting.

Doctor, let's see what can you do for him."


Stinger, does not wait to finish talking to pull Krum up, carefully. Then carries him to the med bay.
