Offensive Defense [Day 3, Mid-Evening]

[Honor]

Outside the main hub of the Sapphire Alley, on a lonely road, a homely motel sits at the center of a street filled with ware-houses and mom and pop shops. Across from them sits the edge of the residential neighborhood. Many of these residents are out preparing for the protest that is going on later while some are simply getting settled in for the night.

In the dim light of the motel a single person walks along the upper level, out from the center room of a grouping of three which all have lights on inside. All the others windows are dark.

[Rook]

Walking passed the windows the man collected ice into a bucket at an ice machine. Sitting there he looked up into the evening sky. So recently had he arrived on this planet and yet the sun was already setting. Poetic, he thought.

Collecting the bucket he walked back along the upper deck. Passed windows where people slept, windows that were adorned with planets but empty, and finally one that was lit with the curtains drawn. Pulling out his room key he opened the door into a room with hardened individuals gathered up around a bed. On the bed there were blasters, slugthrowers, pieces of armor and other gear. Plenty of blaster-cells to replenish their ammo in an intense need. Grenades and other explosives.

Setting the ice bucket down on a chair, he walked passed them all into the bathroom at the back. Taking a moment he looked himself in the mirror.

[Honor]

Event Type: Combat
Participants: 4, special considerations given to Varina Ordo, Leah Kuso, and Lysa Zapal who all have prior connections to give them a leg up on being here.
Timeslot: Mid-Evening

Gathering together, the group hired and paid for by Vex have hunkered down in an abandoned residential building across the street. Preparing their weapons and armor for the coming conflict. One of Vex's men gives them regular updates from his position in the bathroom where he has a clear sight on the buildings.

By his report, they're all inside.

Please, when joining this thread post all applicable combat stats as explained in the post here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=45#p51

[Lysa]

Lysa hung out looking over her equipment and smiling wide excited to have a chance to try this stuff out! She smiled wide around those with her "So does anyone mind if I just shoot a plasma grenade in there before we get started? They're all cooped up in that room my pretties should do a lot of damage! Might even see a limb come flying out."

[Varina Ordo]

Doing knife tricks was harder with the gloves on. Varina kept it simple, mainly tossing it between her hands instead of rolling it between fingers. "Wait, what are we doing again?" she asked. It really suddenly dawned on her.

[Varina Ordo]

"Check out my cool getup," she blasted to Raven. Varina slicked back and tied up her hair before covering it with a hood. Then she produced a scarf that crept up over her nose. Her scanner goggles reared on her forehead, ready to be let down.

"Eh, eh?"

[Raven Cadera]

Raven's visor turned to Varina, looking her up and down. "Not bad, but stay focused, ad'ika. Don't get cocky... Hutts like their enforcers tough and touch crazed."

She looked to the others. "Guess we're ready?"

[Varina Ordo]

"Okay," Varina murmured, a little sad that she got scolded. She pulled her knife back out and also held onto her frag grenade.

"Oh, uh, are we taking prisoners? I have a stun one too." She held her knife. "This isn't exactly great for taking people alive though."

[Honor]

Initiative may be rolled now, Cool for initiative.

Everyone starts at Long, remember it takes two to move from Long to Medium. As long as you are not in Medium Range they won't notice you. However, if you wish to move closer stealthily you will need to roll an appropriate check at Average with a Boost.

[Varina Ordo]

"How many guys are there anyways?" It didn't really seem to bother her though...

D3 ME Cool for Initiative: 2eA 3 successes

[Raven Cadera]

"Let's keep the element of surprise on our side."

Raven readied her sword, her mind already slipping into combat mode.


------------

D3 ME Initiative (Cool): 2eA 4 successes

[Lysa]

"Dunno enough, not enough who's to say I'm just ready to see some explosions!" Lysa wasn't worried but "cool" was hardly a word used to describe her.

Before we get there, reminder but not really cause I didn't mention it: Same reason you have a boost to stealth gives a setback to any ranged attacks.

[Tranq Sayzin]

Tranq was silent. He stalked towards the house, taking the stealthy approach, as if he were swimming just below the surface. He was quiet, very quiet. As he approached, a speeder went by down a nearby street, making enough noise to cause a distraction that could help Lysa out with this plan.
