Gabree is about to give Utinni the cordinates when the group is attacked by 5 tusken raiders!!!

Gabree grabes the comlink and screams "WE ARE GOING TO NEED YOU HERE SOON, JUST HOME IN ON THIS COMLINK, WE WILL LEAVE IT OPEN."

Voushh begin always always alert is the first to reacte, even before the tusken raiders!

All of you are next to each other with the tusken raiders right in front of you. No one off to the sides this time...

*gm speak*
We are going to try a little different battle setup this time. Insead of an order of battle, i will let you post what you are going to do when you are here. I will add enemy fire when i think it should be there. The only order I want is that Voushh goes first.

Oh and remeber, nether Aurawn, or Utinni can fly a ship so they won't be much help in the air.

Thought heavyarm (you forgot to post your name) may be some good in the air.

Oh boy this will be fun...do we want to take a fighter to strafe the enemy or shall we use the frieghter as our vessel of choice...
*wonders to himself if there are guns on the frieghter*

http://www.uwrf.edu/~tw80/yt1760.jpg)
*I think it has guns...*

"well lets take this frieghter over there on the double!!! I'll go man the bottom turret!!!"

I don't have a name, but you can all me Trowa Barton (gun cocks!)

Ok, Utinni, lead the way!

(BTW, My ship, like the standard N-1, has 2 laser cannons, and 2 torpedo launchers, modified with a little weapons rack, containing currenty: blastech dl-44 w/scope, 20 energy cell cartridges, and a few thermal dets )

Trowa if you are there to help the group fly, you are flying the freighter.

:thrawn2: Aurawn

"Guess I'm stuck in the upper turret then. . ." Aurawn climbs up to the upper turret and puts on his headgear. . .

ok, (funny warp to the real ship!) wow, ok, here we go! Ok, flippiong on the bio scanners... scanning for tusken packs... ah! found em!

*flips on comlink*

Taking off, we're on our way!

"A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, high ho the derio a hunting we will go":D

"Powering up my weapons"

Ok, making our first pass, aim your weapons, fire whenever

*turns ship on the side so bot hquad guns can fire at the ground*

*Utinni fires his turret at the charging Raiders*

OOC: Hey you guys still have to fly over here, no hyperdrive in the atmosphere;)

:boushh: Voushh, ever alert, spots the Tuskin Raiders and opens fire on the nearest one with his blaster pistol. He takes a quick glance around looking for cover....

"Gabree, find some cover and stay there!"

At the first chance he gets he'll get behind whatever cover he can find and continue firing.....

umm, well, I thought the actual time between posts, which is like about 7-8 hours, would have been sufficient time. Let wraih decide.

I draw my blaster as i dive to the ground in a roll. I come up, ready to fire and spot a tuskan right in front of me. I fire a shot off.

:thrawn2: Aurawn

Aurawn is holding the triggers tightly, ready to fire as soon as the Tuskens come into view.
"Remember Utinni, don't fire at the ones real close to our buddies! On little bump could end their career. . ."

I strike a full attack against one of the raiders with my Lightsaber.

*sorry guys, just got dialup here and cable doesnt come till next tuesday!*

I don't have a name, but call me Trowa... Trowa Barton...

hang on, guys! Turning for a second pass!

OOC: Well it may have been 7-8 hours in real life but it's only been a couple of seconds in the game;)

You were at the junkyard trying to find our coordinates, we were attacked, Gabree screams for your help, I opened fire, all in a couple of seconds.

Of course I'm not sure how close to Mos Espa we are, depending on that you might show up during the battle or after it's all over. But I can't imagine you could show up before everyone who is there gets a couple of shots off, especially the Tuskin Raiders themselves;)

true...but did you really expect him to describe the entire flight?
"and we are flying over the Jundland wastes now so please buckel your seatbealts and watch for incoming sandstorms, thank you." -darthfergie:)

**********
I think Nilaar's right. ;)
**********

OOC: He doesn't have to describe the entire flight, but he has to tell them they've arrived before they start shooting;)

We can't just do anything we want instantly, otherwise there is no point to anything. Sometimes characters have to be allowed to make mistakes, miss the shot, and so forth. They chose to stay behind despite being warned the "action" was going to be in the desert. That's fine, but they have to live with the choice.

Besides, you don't think 5 Tuskin Raiders is going to be a challenge if they're in the ship strafing them do you?

I came along on the adventure and specifically said I was on high alert in case we ran into everything. They stayed at the Junkyard. No way are they shooting before me or getting in on my action;)

Important Note: I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I think some ground rules need to be set. I tried to use some smiley faces so you would all know I'm being good natured about it;)

Besides I'm sure there will be times there's ship battles going on and my character will be forced to buckle up and stay out of the way. The pilots and their ships can take the glory then;)

*hey guys, could we move the chit chat to the RPG chat thread? thanks :D*

He is right...I mean Wraith DID make the thread for chatting about it -darthfergie

OOnon
runs at a raider, a blue metalic swish seems to come out of the end of my saber...

OK one thing really off topic- I did say we are kinda here... making the first pass over the target now???

Ok guys, prepare to fire again!

*gm Speak*

OK First thing i want to say was sorry for starting this fight and then disappering... Over thanksgiving I was at home/work/school so i could not be online for very much time. I had enough time to check email and that was about it.

Second General is right, this idea didn't work very well with no real turn stuff, so next time we will go back to more solid turns.

Third, back to the Game!!!

P.S. TIE do i have you pc's name spelt right?
*end GM speack*

Voushh take aim and hits the Tusken raider he shoots at, but the aim was off a bit and only hits the Raider in the arm. Voushh start to head for cover.

Trowa, Utinni, and Aurawn take off in the freighter and start to head for the fight. Trowa: "ETA 2 minutes!!!" Utinni and Aurawn are in the turrets and ready to fire when they get there.

Eets'chula rushes a nother raider with his lightsaber at the ready, the Tusken Raider takes a step just as Ests'chula takes his swing. The small step was enough to cause Ests'chula to miss, and just nick the the raiders upper leg.

Nasina'k aims shoots and hits his Raider squarly in the chest, sending the Raider back almost 5 feet in the air and leaving a hole in its chest where Nasina'k hit him.


The rest of the Raiders after seeing this, run for cover behind some near by bolders.

Voushh see that this could be hs only chance, also dives for a bolder that is about 5 feet head of where Gabree is hiding.

Nasina'k trys takeing another shot, but only hits rook, Voushh after being pinned down while the Raiders try to take a shoot at him leans out and trys to take a shoot but also hits just rock. Gabree not begin one to sit behind a rock and do nothing, also leans out and take a shoot, also only to come up with rock. Eets'chula see that he would have to get behind the well covers Tusken Raiders to get near them with his Lightsaber, also take cover so that he is not such a target while he waits for a chance to get behind the Tusken Raiders.

Nasina'k get back on the comlink: "Hey Guys we are pinned down here and could use a little help..."

Trowa: "Stand By, ETA 10 seconds." Trowa now see the battle layout on the freighter's scanners, calls back to the gunners "ok guys thouse Raiders are going to be really hard to hit, i suggest to aim for the rocks they are hiding behind, if nothing else we should be able to clear the shooting range for our people on the groud." To comlink "Take cover down there, we are making our first run now..."

*To be continued in 90 mintues.*

****
Yep, thats it Wraith
****

Getting cover behind a rock, i square up my blaster on the top of the rock. I wait for my chance to hit a raider when he comes up to take a shot, or when the freighter gets here, whichever comes first....

Hey Wraith, can I assume that I can fire a small blaster under the freighter, like the Millenium falcon? Just wondering...

*gm speak*
Well, as you can tell the rest of the story has not showen up yet...

That is because i do not have the stats for the ship here at work/school.

So the battle will continue when i get home, and know what the stats for the ship are.

heavyarms, Do you mean forwad firring lasers, that are not turrets? Or do you mean leaning out the window and shooting your gun?

:thrawn2: Aurawn

Aurawn swings the quad around, scanning the ground for the raiders. "Don't wanna hit our guys" he says to himself. "There's one! Hehe, have a great time in the promised land buddy." :D Aurawn's fingers tighten on the triggers. BUDDOW!

(You like those sound effects? :D)

Wraith, in ANH, know the part in the docking bay where the stormtroopers attack? And that cannon comes out and shooting, rotating and firing?**********


**********



Remember, I have no name, but call me Trowa Barton.

*******
And most freighters in the YT Series have forward light lasers mounted under the cockpit standard. Its not the swiveling thing, that was a custom modification by Han, but a forward firing one would almost surely be present.
*******

Thanks for the clear-up TIE guy!

*gm-Speak*
ok this is the last time I plan on doing gm-speak in this thread... Now that estsy has made a new chat thread i think we should use that...

But yes there is 1 forward laser that you can fire.

I will post the stats for the ship when i get back from lunch, then i will post the next part of the battle.

So any more question, please post them in the chat fourm, other wise we will have strange things III sooner then we may like.

*now back to the battle*

When Oonon hears that the freighter is going to make a run, he dives for cover but has is lightsaber at the ready as soon as the freighter is done, he is going in...

Trowa: "OK boys, here we go!!! Rember up there don't aim at the rock with our people behind them."

Trowa preformes a great spin that puts the freighter on its side, so that both turrets have angle on the ground.

Trowa being the pilot is that first to see a raider and takes a shot with the fowards blaster, only to miss due to the ship being on it's side.

Aurawn is next, fiding a raider that looks to be ready to take a shoot at Oonon, he takes aim and fires, and misses the Raider, but he does hit the bolder the Raider was behind!!! This sends pices of rock flying everywhere. The Tusken Raider behind the Bolder is hit by piecs of rock, but still lives. Utinni takes aim at one of the bolders 2 of the raiders are hideing behind, he hits the bolder off to the frontside, sending most of the pieces away form the raiders, who are unharmed.

*To be continued.*

My weapon still ready, i take the chance to fire at the now exposed Tuskan Raider as i see the boulder get blasted into oblivion.

Hang on guys, coming around now...

*ship turns around, flying on its side back towards the raiders

:thrawn2: Aurawn

Aurawn sets up for another run at the raiders, using the Force to help guide his shot(s). . .

*Eets'chula uses the force to strike fear into the heart of one of the tusken raiders, with the aim of the raider throwing his weapon and running*

Utinni Fires more red lances of energy down upon the Raiders...

:boushh: Voushh gets ready to take advantage of any clear shots he might get.....

Changed from the graphic thingy posted for about 30 seconds... ANyway, I fire the forward laser, hoping to strike a tusken raider...

Voushh takes a shot at the raider that was hit with pickes of rock. The raider is still stunded and never say Voushh take his shot, the shot is true and blast a hole in the middle of his chest.

Nasina'k aims at one of the other raiders and shoots, this Tusken Raider recovered faster and is able to get out of the way enogh to only get hit in the arm.

Eets'chula and Oonon both jump out form their cover at the sametime and run at the other raider, Eets'chula takes a swing first and takes of the raiders arm, Oonon takes his swing and finish off the the Tusken Raider, Both run back to cover before the Freighter makes its next run

:boushh: Voushh provides covering fire while they fall back to some cover....

*******
Wraith, did i hit his right arm or left. I need to know because if it hit is his right then he is out of the fight, but if i was his left he might still be able to fire.
*******

Still crouching behind the boulder, i line up a shot on another tuskan who is running to gain more cover from Voussh's fire. I pull the trigger...

*gm speak*
TIE your pc hit his right arm, and that is the arm he uses to shoot, but he could still rush you and swing a gaffi stick at you, so he may not be able to shoot any more but he may still fight...
*end gm speak*

With Voushh lieing down cover fire, the two jedi are able to make it back to cover unharmed and just in time to miss more flying rock as Trowa, Aurawn, and Utinni Make a 3rd pass.

This time Trowa levels the ship and takes a shot, blasting one of Bolders to rouble, the one the dead right arm (there were 3 left, one raider behind each one) He then flips the ship back on its side to leave Aurawn and Utinni clear shots...

Aurawn misses a bolder complitly only to hit an unharmed Tusken Raider!!! Once the dust settles, you can see that there arn't even any pices left of the Raider.

Utinni Takes his shoot, agian he connects with a bolder and blows it to pices, Some of these pices hitting the Raider behind the rock.

Hey! one of you two go ahead and drop down! We're gonna pick em up and leave these Raiders,

*****
Dang! Not here too!!!
*****


I line up a shot with the next tuskan whose cover just got obliterated. I pull the rigger...

Not sure if he hit, I take a shot at the tusken that is covered in debris from the exploding rock...

*gm-speak*

Did we just loss post?????

one of mine, I think, right Tie guy?****************

OOC: We lost one of my posts where I fired at at the Raider whose rock got blown up, it was right after Wraith's Post.

*gm-speak*
OK i will give everyone somemore time to check back and post what may have been lost, since i can't remeber what else may have been here...
