Ok! So we go into Ordinary phase. Everyone except Mobius(that used all his actions already) can act before S Soldiers... Or wait until Marginal phase:)

OOC:
This is a miss, correct?

Dr. Sims smiles when he hits exactly where he had aimed, almost as if this was something he was good at, but he smile freezes when he realizes how ineffective it was a "Damn" slips out of his mouth but he tries another shot at the same soldier just the same.

Rolls

Shot - (1d20+d4)

(8) + (1) = 9

Damage - (1d6+2)

(1) + 2 = 3

Cielo is slightly fraustrated with himself as he realizes he failed to even mark his target. So, in order to redeem himself, he aims to attack the same soldier — this time trying to be more focused and composed.
OOC:
Oh dang, a bad day for Cielo.

Rolling for armor and will edit this post in the moment...

Wow... dr Sims two ones in the row for damage... let's hope the next round will be better:) Another Ordinary success, but armor absorbed everything.
Dash'es eagerness for some action probably made him too excited as his shot missed severely the most wounded soldier.

Dr Sims' shot with his Stutter pistol was very well aimed again, but fine armor of solider that was most unlucky this day - to be hit first by all accurate shots - saved him again as he was truly at the brink of collapse.

Cielo's well trained habits of seasoned soldier seamed not to be overtaking his body just yet... as another of his shoot missed the target.

The series of missed shots must have given the soldiers a little encouragement and a gap of time between the next series, causing them to decide that this was the right time to act at least.

Without any visible communication - as they would share a single mind or were so well trained - R1 solider switched positions with R2, apparently giving himself time to take a second breath. (+1 step to hit R1 from now on, as now he is in cover!)

R2 taking the position of his teammeber starts to shoot almost immediately to the best visible target, across the corridor: Dash.

Almost at the same moment L1 pulled the trigger of his quantum blaster at Mobius.

Then L2 - to surprise of the adventures - made a move that only brainwashed soldiers would: jumped straight into the corridor in front of him on his belly, falling prone becoming harder to hit and much closer to each of you with his blaster ready to shoot in the moment.
OOC:
Last action for Dash @KingHarkinian !

Then s soldiers and next round!

Please consider new range for L2 and that he is prone now - if you choose to attack him.

And: remember I like narrative games, so you can always try to do something other than shooting i.e. using the item that person of your profession could have on them in this situation. But I will allow to "find" such item in your packets only once per act. Although the shooting right now could be quite a good option :)

Rolls

R1 armor - (d4)

(4) = 4

R2 shooting 11/5/2 at Dash (+2s due Dex res and medium range) - (d20+6d)

(8) + 6 = 14

L1 shooting 11/5/2 at Mobius (+2s due Dex res and medium range) - (d20+6d)

(15) + 6 = 21

OOC:
Both shots have missed - in truly stormtroopers way... :) - so no armor rolls, Dash can act normally.
Edit: All of the soldiers are at short range for you (20m) so -1s for shooting, but the L2 one is dashing (no pun intended... ;) ) on his belly through corridor so he has +1step to shoot so -1 +1 = 0s for shooting at him.

Dash fires again. If the sparks keep flying their advantage will only diminish, Dash thinks to himself. Hopefully he can at least provide some covering fire for the others.
OOC:
Sorry, I’m away from my computer this weekend. What do I roll for damage here?

This is Good success so it will be d6+1 wound damage. Please roll this. At which soldier you are firing ?
May 24, 2026 5:30 pm
OOC:
I'm firing at soldier L2

Rolls

Damage - (d6+1)

(3) + 1 = 4

OOC:
Rolling for armor and will continue by editing this post, then adding another one for s soldiers actions.
Edit:
With a well aimed shot the dashing through the corridor soldier was hit mid movement by Dash's laser pistol's ray. But yet again the armor worked towards reducing the impact by roughly 50%.
OOC:
So the solider is ending with 2 wounds damage and 2 stun secondary damage.

Next up - solders actions are coming! In next post, in the moment.

OOC:
Rolling to see the outcomes of their actions. Will narrate shortly by editing this post.
After edit:
As I unfortunately forgot to include your PC's DEX Res. Mod. steps in rolls and they rolled pretty bad... it means that all shots are missed! :)
Soldier market by the adventurers as R1 in their minds is not sticking out from his cover, making some hasty moves - probably in desperate try to right himself up in order to continue the fight and stop some already visible bleeding, spilled on the floor next to him. But the painful, audible snort indicates that probably he is not very successful at his attempts.

L2 tries to take his revenge on Dash that hurt him a moment ago, but misses... just enough to make Dash tense a little while quantum energy burns a nice hole in the wall next to him, but not enough to cause him any harm.

R2 taking the team's doctor - Dr Sims - at his viewfinder: misses badly, striking the door that separates the team from their destination rather nowhere close to his initial aim. Maybe because of the groans of pain from R1 being too distracting for "forced" (rather than "trained") soldier ?

L1 came closest to hitting his target - Mobius - but his gambler's instincts saved him once again as he ducked behind cover at the last second.

Rolls

R1 collecting himself(desperate try of first Aid) TN7 - (d20+d6)

(14) + (4) = 18

L2 attack at Dash TN11/5/2 (short range -1s) - (d20-d4)

(17) - (4) = 13

R2 attack at dr Sims TN11/5/2 (medium range +1S) - (d20+d4)

(18) + (3) = 21

L1 shot at Mobius TN11/5/2 (medium range +1S) - (d20+d4)

(7) + (4) = 11

@all please make another Action check for round number 2! Optionally: describe how you prepare for next moves. Actual map:

Mobius breathes in and out a few times, readying himself to pop around the cover and shoot again.

Dr. Sims mutters under his breath, "It wasn't supposed to be this way." He gives a quick glance at the blast door wondering how long it would take to get through it but realizes it is completely in the open and no time. Therefore, he braces himself to take another shot hoping he can do better this time.

@dabaggins there is a terminal to the door just behind your PC -> on the wall. Probably should have marked it, but it was in the description of the environment in first post (I'm pretty sure:) ) So if you want to try to open the door in the meantime - your PC WON'T be any more exposed than he is now.

Also: -d4 for action check was only due that you surprised them a little and were ready for them just as they left the lift - on the first round. So from now on please roll just d20 for action check. In Dr Sims and Mobius case: ignoring d4 fortunately doesn't change anything:)

Now we are waiting for Dash and Cielo Action checks (with d20 only) @KingHarkinian,@Quark_Venture

As Cielo notices that the soldiers haven't managed to take full advantage of his failures, he takes a deep breath in to keep himself calm and composed. This time, failing isn't in his dictionary.

Action Check - (d20)

(14) = 14

Dash can hear his heartbeat in his ears. Adrenaline pumping, he glances behind him.
"I got ya covered, Doc. Work a miracle for us." he says, nodding his head towards the door terminal.

Unfortunately those are not the best rolls in history:/ So most of you have only 1 action in this round:
Amazing Good Ordinary Marginal
Dr Sims, L1, R1, L2, R2 Dash, Cielo, Mobious

But our Doctor has two! And is first this round: @dabaggins . Then s soldiers will act.
May 30, 2026 4:16 am
Hearing Dash's words, Dr. Sims says a quick "Thanks" and then rushes towards the door terminal to see if he can open the doors.
OOC:

Let me know if the movement is his only action or if he can attempt something with the terminal. If he can let me know what to roll.

This is how it works according to Players Handbook:
- you can move and take action in the same phase! :) but
- according to how much you would move there will be penalties to your action roll (very logical in my opinion), look at the table:
https://i.imgur.com/7R52qTu.png
- so if cover the distance associated with Walk: no penalties in the same round
- running will add +2 steps penalty and so on,
- let's assume that all of your PCs have those, same movement rates:
SprintRunWalk
20124


So answering your question:
- therminal is certainly less then 4m from Dr. Sims so he can move to it and act with no penalties
- this terminal can be Computer Science -> Hacking or Technical Science -> Repair
- so Hacking in your PC case,
