@Bibingui, PURR1T0 and the gun lay on the floor nearby K10.

I’m including these details discussed via PM, so the other players know.

PURR1T0 was assisting Bibingui in driving, it helped jumpstart the shuttle and then it was (loosely) “docked” on top of the shuttle like an astromech.

PURR1T0 lacks armor and in its position it couldn’t dodge. It flew away and received 16 points of damage (the average of 4d6 + trauma).

PURR1T0 can’t fight, but you could ask it for the sword.

Ignoring a diagnostics subsystem blaring in their head about a damaged arm servo, N5-K10 pings PURR1T0 with a binary request for Bibingui's lightsaber. With it in hand, K10 finds the switch and prepares for the delicate task of using a several foot long arc of weightless but deadly energy to cut Bibingui out of the wreckage.

With a steady hand, K10 is able to cut the parts of the wreckage holding Bibingui down without touching the ewok or causing a collapse. Deactivating the blade, K10 looks at Jojo, gestures briefly in the general direction of the hostile droids and says "Eyes open." and goes to pull Bibingui out.

K10 receives clear input from Bibingui and carefully retrieves the (proto) lightsaber from PURR1T0's carcass. K10 isn’t sure whether their fellow droid is alright, but it at least lies in one piece, albeit flashing and making unintelligible sounds. Between the time K10 fetched the lightsaber and got into the shuttle, Jojo looked for ways to free Bibingui ASAP, this is when you also spotted three speeders approaching and their tripulants.

K10 moves into the shuttle unnoticed, the KX-series confirm the presence of enemies in the vicinity and get off their rides. You hear them mutter, and you listen to their feet hitting the floor with a distinguishable "muffled clank" that conveys their intent and their capacity for destruction & punishment.

A shiver goes down Bibingui’s spine as heat and tension build up. K10 evaluates their options, perhaps they should split Bibingui in two and slap some BACTA on the wound? It certainly seemed a likely solution.

“Let’s do it”, read the droid’s intention, but when K10 was about the begin, Jojo suggested cutting Bibingui’s seat from the back, where armor was negligible. And thus, they cut the thinner layer of metal holding Bibingui’s seat on the shuttle, eventually pulling her out of predicaments… Meanwhile, Vanta takes point.

The smoke coming from the shuttle and the speeder conceal you, but not for long. The KX-series start moving towards your position, 2 are approaching the shuttle’s door, the third one takes the other side (i.e., driver’s window).

K10, their SOS distress signal is still playing.

COMBAT STARTS, ACTION!

Think of the shuttle as if it was a bus. It has a door on each of its ends, looking forward from the driver’s seat, the doors are on the right side of the shuttle (it’s about 15 yards long, SM 5). If enemy droids decide to enter, it’d be one at a time. Despite of their size, their skills won’t be impeded inside of the shuttle. Remember, guys inside the shuttle are effectively surrounded. Everybody realize their gear is at least as good as K10’s or Vanta.

PUZZLE: All of you are inside the shuttle; the seats are parallel to the walls, so there’s no cover. There’s enough room for dodge and drop, and little room for retreat dodge. Without shedding blood and oil, it may take 3 turns to get away from them, can you make it? The captured droid lies by the door on the back, be careful no to trip.

Bibingui, your weapons are the proto lightsaber and your mono-wire-whip, no guns right now.

TURN 1
The droids start approaching the shuttle, two are by the door’s threshold.

Vanta shoots his heavy blaster towards the nearest enemy in front of the shuttle, hits a critical success, rolled 6, sl 16. critical success effect is 4(damage bypasses armor), rolled 28, 20, 19 for damage, burning. it might be possible to over-penetrate and hit both targets

The only path is forward, the only defense is offense BROTHERS! There is only winning or death!

This enemy is AFAIK utterly FUBARED

Surrounded by the enemy, the party shivers within the shuttle trying to find a safe exit; the situation looking dire, each step the droids take towards the shuttle tolls like a bell announcing their death…

“I need a weapon” mutters the Ewok as she looks at her lightsaber and her broken exo with indifference and shame… She doesn’t seem to agree in making a path through the droids with her sword… perhaps Bibingui feels she’s more of a danger to her friends than to her enemies? Nevertheless, she rejects becoming a liability, and suggests Jojo they both use the driver’s seat panel as a shield… “We must get out ASAP!”, Bibingui’s goal is clear but still… no plan! With Jojo’s help, Bibingui manages to lift the panel. He at least understands Bibingui wants to survive.

Jojo gives the party advice, “Lay down so at least you avoid the third shooter, the miasma and the heat should make it harder for them to see, we also have a bit of shadow…”. K10 takes point with Bibingui and braces for the assault, ready to shoot. Can they make it?

Meanwhile, Vanta lies behind the door watching for the droids, they’re closing in. He doesn’t seem to pay much attention to his friends, for he’s focused in holding his position…

Suddenly all of you notice light flashing about the shuttle, dead silence kicks in: The droids are in front of the door, ready to start the assault.

But Vanta won’t budge an inch.

The door slides open, and the droids notice Vanta, his face dramatically coming out of the dark, and the sound of his breather breaking the silence… With a trigger for a heart, Vanta comes out of the black and shoots the droids down, his blaster melting their armor and shifting through every part of them.

Blood is in his nightmares, where he cut his teeth.

The force stands by your side at the beginning of this round, with two consecutive critical successes Vanta beats the droids and now you have a chance to get out of the bus, quickly.

OOC: The first minutes of this video reminded me of you.

K10 will take a shot with their blaster rifle at the remaining droid through the driver's window, I think. Roll of 7 vs skill 15 minus whatever range penalty, and whatever's less obscuring out of the radiating heat to thermal vision or the smoke to normal vision I suppose. Also crouch afterward since it's free.

Bibingui decides to take one of the rifles from the droids that Vanta defeated in order to shut down the last Droid and save her Purrito.
RIFLE: 18/14

Continuing with their mission and tasked with meeting an alleged agent of the SLAVANEPO-GODA (a copious crime lord based in Nar-Shaddaa), Bibingui, Vanta, Togosho and the astromech PURR1T0 arrived at the ALLIED space station known as THE ACCRETION. Much to their dismay, the Accretion fell under siege by an unreckoned enemy moments after their landing.

The ship initiated a defensive lockdown, which would trap the party at their spot and prevent their success. Now the group had to make their way out quickly, a feat requiring traversing by air from sector I to sector X, at the opposite side of their current location.

Resolving to reach for Nav’s Rest, a haven for travelers and the safest bet for finding a ship, the protagonists ensued battle with an apparently rogue droid and hijacked a land shuttle. Unfortunately, Togosho went missing in action during the first moments of the attack; but the group eventually teamed up with the mysterious N5-K10 (PC) and Jojoba Jah Yurak (NPC), improving their chances of survival.

When they were about to reach Nav’s Rest, the shuttle was rammed by a land-speeder. Bibingui, the driver, failed to dodge the incoming bike and took a head-on collision. She escaped certain death just by the will of The Force. The rest of the party flew about the shuttle but survived with minimal injury, all of them but PURR1T0 who laid unconscious in the ground. As her friends freed Bibingui from the pieces of metal that wrapped her body, three other speeders arrived, manned by droids with heavy guns.

The team grouped inside the shuttle, trying to plan their strike; but suddenly, with a dramatic display of skill and guts Vanta took out two of the droids in one attack. A single enemy remained. Amazed by their friend’s feat, both Bibingui and K10 immediately sought for a weapon and shot the down last android, in yet another fortuitous attack.

The party is free to assess their situation.

What will you do?
