Those Pesky Hishen Slavers.

Table setup.

I finally rolled a involuntary encounter which turned out to be Hishen slavers. I used the Hishen slaver scenario and rules from Infestation. I started with Sam in section 4 of the table and the Hishen slavers in section 3. The slaver group consisted of 1 Hishen, 1 Razor and 1 Grath. I set up Sam facing away from the slaver group and rolled each activation (1-3) to see if he turned around to see the slavers approaching. Section 9 of the table was occupied by my cat.

Hishen slavers approach Sam.

After several activations Sam finally noticed the slavers approaching. He fires his Bolt Action Rifle at the Razor. Of course the Razor uses the Bullet time attribute to successfully dodge the shot. All three slavers fire back at Sam with a successful hit by the Razor's mental blast and the Hishen stun pistol. Several Star Power dice later Sam's damage is reduced to Carry on. He fires back at the Hishen missing but causing him to run to cover.

A gunfight ensues.

Sam then runs to the concealment of the nearest shrubbery instead of facing off against 3 foes on open ground. The slavers lose sight of Sam and he manages to circle behind them. He takes 2 shots from his pistol at the Razor. Again using Bullet time the Razor dodges the shots. The Razor loses the Received Fire test and retires. Obviously the pay is not good enough to go up against armed opponents who are actively fighting back. The Hishen and Grath move back into cover and try to see where the shots are coming from.

Sam circles through cover.

Sam moves to get a shot at the slavers. Both of Sam's shots miss. The Hishen slaver misses his shot, but the Grath hits. Again Sam has to use Star Power to reduce his damages. He fires his pistol again. He misses the Hishen, but hits the Grath in the head resulting in an Obviously Dead Grath. This was an extremely skilled targeted shot by Sam regardless of what others may say. The Hishen fires back and misses. Sam returns fire and the Hishen is Out of the Fight.

Sam attacks from behind.

Sam recovers the Parak Stun Pistol and a BAP. He is pretty well armed now with 2 Pistols, a Stun Pistol and a Bolt Action Rifle. The next encounter will see if Sam can commandeer the ship the slavers landed in and get off the planet.

Sam manages to take out the ramainder of the party.
