Event Type: Side Event
Power Cost: 0
Participants: 4
Timeslots: Mid Night

Description: In the middle of the night, Cyan Nexu stumbled upon an unknown figure wearing one of the SIS trooper uniforms meddling with files. Before she could cry for help, she was stabbed a few times and left to bleed out. The suspect fled to the hangar and managed to get to a speeder bike before someone could properly stop them. One Republic team is able to pursue them almost immediately while another lags behind...

Rules: This event will be a vehicle chase. Two participants each will be on the two vehicles provided. The speeder bikes have a Speed of 2 and have no innate weapons. They are currently going at Speed 1 through the terrain. You can go to Speed 2 to be faster but upgrade any difficulties made on the bike.

One bike will start at Medium Distance from them while the other will start at Extreme. Please roll Vigilance for Initiative when you join along with Wounds/Strain, Soak, Defense, and which Speeder you're taking/driver or passenger.

Rewards/Outcome: Results listed below.

Trust Modified: N/A
Power Modified: N/A
Duty Earned: Increase Duty by 5.

[Garth Wayne]

DRIVING THE EXTREME RANGE SPEEDER
Garth heard the alarm and sprinted to the hangar leaoing in the drivers sest of one of the republic speeders. He's about to gun it into gear when Jenkins flags him down.

"Whaddya mean there's an obstruction hurty up and fuckin' clear it. We got spies to catch." He yelled as he fastened his respirator before leaving the safe atmosphere of the base.

[Jax Dolross]

Driving medium speeder

Jax heard the alarms go up rousing him from his sleep on the Midnight luckily he had chosen the spot closest to the republic hangar. He grabbed a speeder and he felt someone jump on the back but he didn't turn to see who it was as he coaxed the speeder to life and shot out of the hangar in pursuit of the alleged spies.

[Galen Sol]

Galen had been walking past the hangar as the first speeder fled into the forest. The second speeder was clearly in pursuit. So, as the third came by, he hopped on.

"Hi there. Who are we chasing?"

[Nekoinu]

The spy team seemed ready for any pursuers. The one on the back turned around with their pistol at the ready.

---

For this chase, at the beginning of each Round both pilots will make Piloting: Planetary (Agility) Checks at Hard Difficulty with 2 Setback Dice due to the trees. Having more successes than your opponent will mean that the range band will increase. Increasing the speed of the bike makes you move one speed band automatically (as they are at base speed) but anyone going higher (pilot will if he increases speed) will upgrade their check once. Once you fall out of Extreme range, you are out of the chase! A Despair, if it isn't obvious, will result in a crash.

For the pilots' turn, their maneuvers are considered spent on driving but they can use their action to make a potshot. This must be with a one-handed weapon. If they do, the difficulty of the shot is upgraded once and the next piloting check has its difficulty upgraded twice. Don't shoot and drive!

Everyone receives 2 Setback Dice to their shots due to the speed. Passengers can use a one-handed weapon with no further penalty. Passengers may elect to use a two-handed weapon but will need to roll a Coordination (Agility) Check at Average or Hard Difficulty. If going normal speed, the former, and faster is Hard. Upgrade the die once. If you succeed but get a Despair, your shot will miss but you are otherwise okay. If you fail, your shot has its difficulty upgraded once. If you fail and get a Despair, you fall off the speederbike.

[Garth Wayne]

It was obvious that the speeder was not what Garth was used to, he'd become to spoiled by Tallulah's raw speed and missed the shift timing to accelerate into the next gear. That cost him precious seconds and he needed to push himself to prevent falling further behind, even that wasn't going to be enough.

Eventually it was his fear of failure, his fear of looking bad in the eyes of the other pilots after talking the talk and failing to follow through that spurred him to close the gap, if only slightly.

[Nekoinu]

The passenger on the back took a shot at the lead pilot, leaving a stinging wound straight to the chest. If the shot had been slightly worse, perhaps it would have resulted in a crash...

---

I forgot to mention that both spies have Adversary 1. The one on the back has Defense 1 while the pilot does not.

Garth/Galen are at Long Range from them while Jax/Azura stay at Medium.

Passenger Spy AIms as a maneuver and fires a shot from his pistol as his action.

Stunned. Jax is stagged until next round. He cannot perform an action this turn (but fortunately can just drive as normal)

Driver will convert his action to a maneuver to take cover behind his ally

All players have their turns before next drive up.

[Garth Wayne]

Calling out over the comms, Garth belted out instructions.

"Jax flank him left, ah'll go right and we'll see if we can' get a better firing solution."

Swinging out wide, Garth manages to find some thinner brush to allow Galen a better angle for his shot.

((OOC - Using action to provide an assist boost to Galen))

[Galen Sol]

Galen took a moment to steady himself, then lined up the shot. Garth's piloting brought him right into position and he fired, hitting the passenger of the feeling bike squarely. The other spy reflexively steered away, towards Jax and Azura.

[Azura Mora]

Azura narrowed her eyes, bringing her pistol up and taking a hard shot at the guy shooting at Jax.

It looked like it hurt far more than the pistol should hurt!

[Nekoinu]

The passenger held on to dear life and patted the driver to go faster. The other one nodded and increased the speed. Inadvertently, he ended up slamming into a tree and sent them both tumbling into the dirt...

From the distance, the pilot could be seen getting up while the passenger was motionless.

---

Make Piloting Checks as if you were still in a chase. If you do not speed up, they will increase the range band. Failure means you will move up one, success means you will increase by two. Nekoinu will destiny flip both bikes to see if you crash as well!

There is still finding the pilot afterwards

[Jax Dolross]

Jax grit his teeth the fire in his veins driving him forward his experience with the monks earlier had made him a more balanced man he was no longer afraid of his recklessness. "Stun the pilot!" Jax shouted as his speeder zoomed close to the crash.

OOC: use the triumph to slow the enemy pilot down somehow tripping or something like that?

[Garth Wayne]

Moving into a sweeping pattern, standard operating procedure for such recovery missions, Garth kept a distance behind Jax to maintain the integrity of the perimeter.

D7 MN. Piloting Rd 2.
2 successes and other stuff thst won't fit on my phone posting window...

[Nekoinu]

With the enemy speeders so close, there was only one option the man could think of. He picked up his ally's sidearm and aimed for the pilot that had been shot earlier. The shot pierced the man in the chest, likely sending him into a crash...

---

D7 MN Ranged (Light) at Jax, Accurate 2 Boost, Destiny Flip: 3eP+1eA+2eD+3eB+2eS 1 success, 1 advantage

Base Damage 9 with Pierce 3. Total of 9 Damage after Soak, which should be enough to send Jax into unconsciousness.

D7 MN Crit for Exceeding Jax's Wound Threshold: 1d100+10 16

Azura, on her turn, must make a Coordination (Agility) Check at Average Difficulty to not fall off immediately. Afterwards, she can do a Piloting: Planetary (Agility) Check at Daunting Difficulty with Two Setback Dice to keep them from crashing.

[Azura Mora]

"Shit!" Azura shouted as Jax flopped back into her from the hit. She grabbed the bikes handles, but from her position she wasn't able to stop the speeder from crashing. All she could do was prepare herself...

(Failed pilot with triumph - use it to jump and land on her feet (can also flip a destiny if need be)? Or if not, use it to crash into the guy who is now on the floor?)

(D7 MN event - Coordination (agility) at average with weather setback and trust boost: 3eA+1eP+1eB+1eS+2eD 4 successes, 1 threat

(mislabelled roll - but skills are same level on both so it's fine either way)

[Nekoinu]

OOC: I will allow one passenger to not have to take any falling damage

[Azura Mora]

Azura wasn't able to save Jax, and grounded herself.

(I'll take the no falling damage)

[Galen Sol]

Galen balanced himself on the back of the bike again, as he targeted the pilot.

[Nekoinu]

The pilot took the shot and was not particularly pleased by it. However, he was still on his feet, bloodied and bruised.

---

Garth still has a round. Jax will take 10 more damage/strain since he cannot make a roll for the crash.

[Garth Wayne]

"On authority of the Republic Navy, throw down your arms and surrender. This is your only first, last and only offer."

Garth commands as he pulls up the speeder and draws his pistol.

D7 MN Surrender! Presence? Unknown difficulty: 3eA 2 successes, 3 advantage

[Nekoinu]

The pilot tossed away his pistol and held his arms up. "I know when I'm beaten. But I hope you don't get your hopes up. I didn't even know who this guy was until tonight." He smirked. "Need to know basis for info."

D7 Resisting Presence with Cool: 2eD+2eC 1 failure, 4 threat, 1 Despair

[Garth Wayne]

Garth pulls out the high tensile fibre line from his Crash kit and proceeds to bind the driver's hands behind his back.

"Tha's fine, we ain't lookin fer information on them beneath ya." Garth explains. "We wanna know about th' one's above ya."

Garth casts a glance over to where Jax lay in the dirt.

"He gon' be ok?" He asks Galen and Azura, not taking his eyes off the prisoner.
