Psst. Pyro. Your turn is up. I'm doing stuff online, so I'm available to DM.

Any wonder why my art posts are mainly Star Wars, while Gonzo has been mainly Sonic.

Oh gosh, the teeny tiny Knuckles sprite with the huge eyes, and his collar-thing blending with his muzzle makes it look like he's got the goofiest grin on his face.

(Yeah, brain fart on the mechanics again. But, I'll (hopefully) get it right this time. I'm too damn hung up on actually giving a crap about the dice totals when I really shouldn't be. Damn you, DnD! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! *shakes fist*
For the new scene, the Mook Rating is halved, so it's 30. After this scene is done, it's a go for downtime, as next week I'm going to be away from Tuesday to Thursday. And the sewer tunnel is pretty big. You could fit three people side-by-side in it comfortably. Add a fourth, and it becomes cramped. Most branching tunnels will range from big enough for almost two, to you'll-get-a-face-full-of-sewer-water-as-you-crawl-through-it-on-your-belly. If any branching tunnels are at floor-level, they'll be big enough for one person to slip into easily. Mid-height and you have to crawl through them. Higher, and you'd better hope you're skinny enough to fit and no one upstairs flushes. Eew!
Anywho...

(Please tell me that I'm doing this right now.
)
(Going for the Findsman trait. Zuckuss is accessing the mists to find out the relative position of the characters.)
That flash-bang was brutal on compound eyes, and everyone before Zuckuss appears as blurry blobs of prismatic white and yellow. He hears the shouts to his right and turns to face blurry blobs, streaks of bright blurry blobs, and a large blurry blob in the middle of the attacking blurry blobs. He exhales behind his mask, backs against the wall, and focuses, attempting to triangulate everyone's position while he calls upon his long-ingrained findsman training to aid him. An image flashes into his mind for a brief moment, and Zuckuss brings his attention back to the battle. Carefully, he hoists his blaster up, aims between the two closest blurry blobs, and picks off a blurry blob toward the end of the tunnel. "4-LOM, please tell me that I didn't accidentally hit you..."

(You've given Fett a very Shadows of the Empire comic personality. He never shuts up in the comic, and he even has the gall to make horrible puns! He's so un-Fett, but at the same time, I love it. He also gets pretty wordy in The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. Anywho... onto the next wave...)
Zuckuss splashes down the pipe, pointing behind him. "There's more coming! But..." He pants as he slows. "But, we can't... I mean, there's an exit down there. A door! We could hold them off... but, someone would need to unlock it..." He looks to 4-LOM, unholsters his blaster, and takes up a position slightly within another branching sewer pipe, kneeling, and taking careful aim at the large pipe before the hunters.
Up ahead, the hunters can hear a whirring sound, followed by a loud "ka-CHUNK!" and the blare of an alarm klaxon somewhere farther down the pipe. The grate at the end of the pipe shudders and emits a series of low, concussive thuds from around it. Water drips from its seams.
"I don't like this..." Zuckuss says in a low voice as he backs a bit farther into the shadows, deciding that perhaps they don't need to unlock that door after all.
The grate, an imposing metal structure, bellows in protest as it begins to rise. It grinds upward on rusted gears and shudders loudly to a stop. A hand tosses a flash-bang under the grate, ensuring that the guards would have some cover as the ancient door finally opens. The burst of light is blinding, with a deafening blast, and the guards charge in, not even waiting for the grate to finish opening, some of them having to crawl on their hands and knees just to get through. Khijana is a powerful man. Even his sewers are well-protected.
(Mook rating is 60. Take it away, Dr. Wily! And Ringman, if you want to post simultaneously.)

Yin: 1
Mook level reduced by 11, mook rating down to 34)
(Ring: That's two Yins and two Yangs, against a 5, rolling them bones...
Yang: 5, 4
Yin: 1, 6
Mook level reduced by 9, Mook rating at 25 (depending on where we are, I may end up throwing in another wave, as this level is being picked off quickly...))
(Martial arts trait for this one)
Zuckuss isn't one to rush into the fray, so he slides along the wall, dodging the oncoming blasts. Quickly, he ducks and rolls across the floor, then jumps to grab hold of the lip of the sewer pipe. With some effort, he hoists himself inside and crawls through the narrow, dark passageway. He finds that it branches off to his right, and he works his way down that path. At the end, he slides out of the pipe and sneaks behind a guard, who is providing covering fire. Quietly, Zuckuss lands a kick to the back of the guard's knees. The man buckles and Zuckuss chops the back of the guard's neck with the heel of his hand. Taking a moment to make sure that he wasn't heard, he lifts the guard's blaster and inches toward the branch of the pipe, hoping to provide some much-needed help from the other side.

(You can throw in other actions all you want, but the roll will be based on the primary action of your narrative. For example, you can say that you're being sneaky, so you sneak up behind some mooks and pilfer their blasters, because you're ninja-silent. Then, you shoot them in the back and they fall forward like dominoes. The roll will still be based on the Sneaky trait, but you can throw in some other stuff. Or, you could narrate actions and then decide on a trait from that narrative, or leave the decision up to the DM.)
