[ Sector 20 -7 ] Infiltrate the Red Troop
Nebesnogoa had stored his equipment in a simple pouch together with his more interesting tools. He looked around trying to get a feel of the room they were entering.((Check: 8 = 4 Force Level + 4 Vision -- ))
He nodded to the people he was introduced too. "I am hopink I can tell boss you have good stuff." He said his accent a bit thicker than normal probably because of some stress.

The Quarren boss looked at Shebi. "I am sure he will find it to his liking." the boss indicated a container on the table.
"Isn't he a bit young to be an explosives expert?" the bodyguard commented with suspicion.
Meanwhile, Darones made his way to the air duct, earning a greeting from one of the Ultramarines in the process before finding himself a prime spot not far from the boss' table. He'd need a moment to kick down the grate (obviously he couldn't do that now lest he be discovered, but he was ready for when combat started. Before him, the scene unfolded as Nebesnogo moved to check the container. He sensed, but couldn't find anything suspicious at first sense.
The container was about thirty centimeters in diameter and twice as high, too big for a person to throw, but small enough to fit inside a car or crate. Taking measurements, Nebesnogo quickly established this was indeed an exotic matter device and on a quick scan, the signature seemed to match what Nebesnogo remembered from the signature of the bomb at the floating factory. A more detailed analysis would be required to confirm this evidence, but for now it was a solid suggestion that the team was on the right track here.
The Quarren looked at Nebesnogo, then back at Shebi.
"Are you all satisfied or do you want me to set it off too? I've shown you your sample, now show me the money." he demanded.

"I'm old enough to know that if you set this thing of you will blow up the base and leave very little behind." he says putting the device back. "Its a good device and will do for our business." he says turning towards Shebi.

Darones Rei - PC
Once he had established his position and the outlay of the room between him Darones briefly broken radiosilence to send a short message to Shebi. From what he could gather so far, the conversation with the Quarren boss had only just started, so he felt it best to give them the opportunity to gain more intell instead of bursting right into action on his account.
So he simply send " In Position " and preparred to kick down the grate providing himself a clear path of attack.

Shebi looked at Nebesnogo, then at the quarren boss.
"Very well, I will signal my people to bring in the money."
Shebi turned away, to present a smaller profile for weapons fire from the platform.
"Mister Rei, we have confirmed the quality of the goods, we will move to the next phase. You are authorized to bring in the payment."

Darones kicked down the grate, jumped from his hideout and lined up both his blasterspistols for a shot at the Quarren boss.
He then took up the defensive stance and looked around for cover

In this round, all players are allowed to choose both an offensive and a defensive a Combat Style. The defensive combat style becomes their offensive combat style in the second round where they can choose a defensive style once more.
The enemy however is surprised by your sudden attack, which means they can only choose a combat style for defence in the first round (which will in turn be their offensive action in the second round), but they cannot attack in the first round.

After gaining his footing Darones caught the Quarren boss in his crosshairs and fired simultaneous shots from both his Blaster Pistols aiming for the Quarren's chest and neck. He then looked around ((Check: 8 = 4 Force Level + 4 Vision -- )) and used what little time he had, while making use of his speed, to duck for cover.((Check: 13 = 4 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Acrobatics + 1 Athletics + 1 Force Speed + 2 Force Jump -- to provide defensive bonus, not yet included in scores))

((OOC: Some folk pmed me about being confused:
Normal situation:
Round 0: Everyone chooses a style - this is all
Round 1: Everyone attacks with the style from round 0. Everyone chooses a style to defend against their enemies style (which the enemy selected in round 0)
Round 2: Everyone attacks with the style they defended with in round 1. Everyone chooses a style to defend against their enemies style (which the enemy selected in round 1)
Round 3: Everyone attacks with the style they defended with in round 2. Everyone chooses a style to defend against their enemies style (which the enemy selected in round 2)
Hence, round 0 is purely administratively to start the process.
Situation here:
None of the NPC's can attack in round 1. Since players don't have to base their choice of defensive style for round 1 on anything (as there is no attack), I combine round 0 and round 1 in one go to save time.
Thus, you choose the style with which you attack (normally you'd do this in round 0, but now you do it in this round 1). You also choose the style with which you defend (against nothing so the defence is actually irrelevant). This defensive style will then become the style with which you attack in round 2. The process continues normally from here.
Also don't forget: this is the first round of combat. Hence all attacks suffer a -2 penalty on all rings.))

Shebi Ajava was already prepared for the attack, as she was the one who called it.
She elegantly rolled to the side, towards the cover offered by a chair. During her roll, she whipped out her twin DL-18 blasters. Once in cover, she quickly took a shot at the human-like bodyguard. ((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Acrobatics -- for the roll))

In one move, everyone on the Jedi team dove out for cover, hiding behind chairs, tables, architecture of the bar, etc - no doubt they felt vulnerable without their lightsabers to bounce back the blaster-bolts.
Darones and Ariana took aim at the Quarren boss, but he was an experienced gang leader and the concept of a betrayal was not alien to him, allowing the man, despite being surprised, to toss over the table and take cover behind it, dodging the fire from the two Jedi.
Nebesnogo fired at the Red Troopers but managed to miss them entirely - at least his fire provided him with the distraction he needed to safely get his small form to cover though ((OOC: Please remember to make sure who you are firing at! Friendly fire isn't.))
Ajava did a little bit better, rolling elegantly into cover and firing at the bodyguard a black blast mark clear on his shoulder armour, but this man was not about to let himself be taken out so easily and the armour saved him from being hurt.
The other Red Troopers too found cover, to the best of their abilities anyway, each finding his own spot, except the bodyguard and the boss who stayed together.
At the other side of the room, a grate was kicked open and four Ultramarines flung their way in, moving to cover one by one as their team-mates provided covering fire while they took position to cover the exits. With the Ultramarines there, there was no chance of the boss and his people escaping.

Shebi Ajava - PC
As she had expected, all red troopers quickly took up cover as well. Seeing how this would become a long drawn-out exchange of blaster fire, Shebi Ajava quickly holstered her blasters and pulled her sniper rifle from under her cloak.
The single reason she selected the Tenloss DXR-6 was raw fire power, a simple cantina table wasn't going to stop it.
As the others exchanged blaster fire, she calmly waited for the bodyguard to return fire. After he placed a few shots, and dove back into cover, she aimed squarely at where his body would be behind the table. Remembering the first time she saw this rifle in action -- the veolian special forces use it to penetrate tank armor -- she squeezed the trigger.
((OOC: No change in combat style: offence 5/5/5, defence 6/6/6))

Nebesnogo realised he should use a different method as this fire fight could take a long time. He rummaged around in his pouch an pulled out a Vzryv AP-23 anti personal grenade. He primed the grenade and tossed it near the Quarren Boss. ((Check: 11 = 4 Force Level + 5 Reason + 2 Explosives -- ))
He then used the distraction from the grenade to shoot the Quarren Boss.

Darones Rei - PC
Darones considered for a moment how to best use his favorable position to his advantage. From within his cover he could see Shebi taking aim with Tenloss DXR-6, whilst Ariana laid down fire at the Quarren boss, and Nebesnogo tried to get the edge by tossing a grenade for distraction after which he also fired at the Quarren boss. Counting on the accuracy of his fellow padawan and the distraction provided by the grenade, Darones performed a daring maneuver which would hopefully provide him with edge he needed.
He jumped out of his cover and tapped into the force to pick up speed as he ran over the far wall of the cantina, reducing the benefit from cover for the enemy, or entirely neglecting it, as he now had a clear line of fire. Darones fired a barrage of shots aimed at the Quarren Boss while he ran past, hoping to find a suitable spot of cover near the Red Trooper. ((Check: 11 = 4 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Athletics + 1 Acrobatics + 1 Force Speed -- to gain advantage of a clear shot from behind (DCA)))

The Quarren boss looked out over the table he was using for cover, aiming a blaster at Ariana and firing at her behind her cover. The small weapon packed quite a punch, slamming holes in the table the Praetorian was using for cover and forcing her off balance.
((OOC: The Quarren boss attacks for -/-/6, defeating Ariana's 5 defence on the inner ring.))
The bodyguard also took aim at Ariana who, being the bodyguard in the minds of the Red troop, posed the greatest threat, but the bodyguard wasn't quite as nice as his employer, using a wrist mounted launcher to toss an explosive at the woman, landing it just in front of her cover and blowing up part of it, sending a shower of shards and shrapnel in Ariana's direction.
((OOC: The bodyguard uses a Direct Combat Action to enhance his attack, for a total offence of 7/-/-, defeating Ariana's 5 defence on the outer ring. Together with the Quarren boss' attack, this causes a Minor Injury to Ariana, which means she is now off-balance, giving a -1 penalty on attack and defence next turn only.))
Shebi took aim with her rifle, squeezing the trigger and sending a solid blast out at the enemy, blowing a hole the size of Nebesnogo in the table and continuing on into the wall behind it. The bodyguard had miraculously been able to avoid being in the direct path of the fire, but was forced to dive out of the way leaving him exposed for a moment before he raced for new cover.
((OOC: Giving you a +1 rp bonus, for a total attack of -/-/6 which defeats the bodyguards defence - unfortunately since it is the only attack on him, he remains unharmed. Do remember you have an action every turn though!))
Nebesnogo primed the grenade and tossed it towards the Quarren boss, using the convenient hole left by Shebi in the cover the boss was behind.
((OOC: You can use grenades as part of an action in a distractive manner, but if you want to attack with a grenade, you cannot fire a gun in the same round.

Ariana returned blaster fire at the boss, but the cover and incoming fire was too effective and she was unfortunately unable to hit the boss.
((OOC: Final attack -/-/4, not enough to defeat the boss' defences - remember you can take an action every turn!))
Seeing the trouble Ariana was having, Darones raced off, using a grenade as a general distraction while racing out to a new position and firing at the Quarren boss from a new angle - a much better angle in fact!
As his fire distracted the Quarren boss, the time fuse on Nebesnogo's grenade ran out, followed by a large blast which sent the boss flying out of his cover and smacking into the wall. Between the shrapnel and the blaster hits, he was in quite a bad shape and bleeding to death!
((OOC: I am giving a +2 rp bonus, as besides good description you also gave up your defensive advantage, which is realistic but which wasn't required by the rules.

The Rodian and the other Red Trooper meanwhile moved off to the side, hoping to secure a route to the exit, but soon found it guarded by Ultramarines. The troopers and marines exchanged heavy fire.
((OOC: None of you are involved in that exchange either offensively or defensively so I will leave the stats out of the post))
One of the ultramarines loaded up a very heavy looking RPG, but the Padawans soon heard their commander ordering the heavy weapons specialist to hold his fire. It soon became clear this wasn't out of a misplaced worry for the safety of the enemy.

When her cover was completely blown away Ariana had no choice but to retreat. Ariana quickly rushed out of the room flying through the entrance that they came in. After moving around the corner she landed in a quiet room / corner to look at the wounds she had obtained.

Shebi Ajava - PC
Upon receiving the radio transmission from the Ultramarine commander, Ajava realized she behaved like an untrained rookie.
She looked over at the ultramarines, and spotted the heavy weapons specialist. Afraid the enemy realizes the same thing, and determined to immediately correct her mistake, she jumps out of cover. "Fire at will once I have the bomb, don't wait for me to get into cover -- I'll make it!"
Hoping to feint the bodyguard, instead of going straight for the bomb, Shebi rushes towards the bodyguard. At the last moment, when passing the bomb, she suddenly rolled towards it, using the force to ensure she has enough speed to make the ridiculous turn. ((Check: 16 = 5 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Acrobatics + 1 Force Speed + 5 no attack -- I forego any attack this round to claim a +5 bonus))
Once she has the bomb in her grip, she continued running, using her accumulated speed to get out of the blast zone and make for cover, dodging any incoming rocket propelled grenades by sidestepping, rolling or jumping over it.
((OOC: Defence 5/5/5; though I should still have cover, I feel this blatant action requires giving up cover a round early))

Seening that the boss was down and out he saw that the body guard was also throwing grenades. "We cannot have that." he muttered to himself while he grabbed his second grenade.
Hearing the warning about the explosive matter device. He checked to see if it was anywhere in his intended blast radius. ((Check: 9 = 4 Force Level + 3 Intuition + 2 Explosives -- Intuition instead of reason because of fast thinking))
"Darones the body guard!" he said before throwing his second grenade of the fight at the bodyguard.
((OOC: 6/0/0 taking a Direct Combat Action to enhance his attack. defence 5/5/5))

Darones Rei - PC
" Roger " Darones replied as he heared Nebesnogo's calling a shot on the Bodyguard.
He made a full 180 and tapped into the force to pick up speed again as he ran over the far wall of the cantina, this time not going in a straight line, but more of criscross to avoid beeing an easy target for the Bodyguard's Grenate's launcher. Darones fired a barrage of shots aimed at the Bodyguards chest and face while he ran past, and ducked back into his cover in more or less the same place he had started out a while ago. ((OOC: 2 rounds back)) ((Check: 11 = 4 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Athletics + 1 Acrobatics + 1 Force Speed -- to gain advantage of a clear shot from behind (DCA)))
((OOC: attack -/-/6, defense 4/4/4; DCA same as last turn))

Mercury - Storyteller
Ariana quickly retreated herself to cover as she tended to her wounds - soon she felt secure that she could continue the fight!
Shebi meanwhile rushed from cover - the two remaining red troopers and the bodyguard both shot at her as she raced for the bomb, the latter aiming at the explosive itself, but none of them were fast enough to hit her as she used the Force - moving as fast as she was going, it was very hard for even these skilled marksmen to hit.
Changing direction at incredible speed and grabbing the bomb, she raced back to slide under an incoming missile from the Ultramarines and into cover in the nick of time ((OOC: Giving a +1 rp bonus for excellent rp - the red troopers and bodyguard miss due to not defeating enough circles of defence))
Darones and Nebesnogo meanwhile focussed on the bodyguard, which was exactly what the rocket propelled grenade from the Ultramarines was going for. Nebesnogo timed carefully, the grenade hitting the bodyguard just after the impact of the missile which scattered what remained of the cover the table provided, giving the bodyguard the full blast of the explosion. Meanwhile, Darones blasted the near-human with a barrage of shots from the other side - there really wasn't anywhere the man could go, and moments later the man was lying on the ground.
((OOC: That's the end of round 3 - Because the main enemies have been defeated and Ariana is no longer hurt, the risk from here is minimal so I am jumping to the end of the combat.))
Between a full unit of ultramarines and the four padawans, the two remaining red troopers did not stand a chance and they were quickly taken out. The ultramarines moved out of cover and forward to secure the enemy, aiming their weapons at their wounded and helpless foes, ready to execute the lot of them.
((OOC: Giving anyone who wants to a chance to interrupt.))

Shebi Ajava - PC
Hailing from a culture where death is an uncommon but accepted consequence of political manoeuvring, Shebi Ajava understood the necessity of taking the boss' life. The guards were just soldiers, like herself, some might even have a family somewhere.
"Wait! We have no quarrel with these guards; there is no need to execute them. They will fall in line when new leadership is established.", she said loudly before the ultramarines could finish their action.
"The bodyguard might require some convincing though.", she added.
