Encounter: The Last Desperate Battle!
The heroes run into a starfighter droid, in walking mode, that strides
through the streets of Theed taking blaster cannon shots at anything that moves. Its
accompanied by four infantry battle droids, content to fire their blasters at everything
else that the larger droid misses.
To win this adventure, the heroes need to stop the starfighter droid or at
least keep it from harming too many innocents until the control ship high above is
destroyed. Of course, they dont know that the end of the droid army is imminent.
They should believe that its them against the large droid -- to the bitter end.
The starfighter droid follows a specific plan of attack throughout this
battle. This plan is outlined below, showing what the droids try to do each turn. The
outline also has information to help the GM determine when the control ship explodes.
In addition to their characters, let the players control the two palace
guards. They can move them, make their attacks, and keep track of the damage they sustain
as the battle unfolds.
You (the GM) will move the citizens, the R2 unit, and the pilot. The R2
unit and the pilot stay together; each citizen moves individually.
To move a citizen token, roll 1d4 and 1d6. The d4 tells you which
direction to move a citizen token: 1 -- Toward the top of the map; 2 -- Toward the
right-hand side of the map; 3 -- Toward the bottom of the map; 4 -- Toward the left-hand
side of the map. The d6 tells you how many spaces to move the token in the appropriate
direction. A citizen can move up to 5 spaces. On a roll of 6, the citizen decides to stay
right where he or she is until the next turn. A citizen token never leaves the map. If it
reaches an edge, it stays in that space until the dice move it in another direction.
To move the R2 unit and pilot tokens, keep in mind that they want to reach
the bottom of the map. They move 3 spaces each turn, trying to get away from the battle
droids. Neither the R2 unit nor the pilot makes any attacks.
