You shouldn’t need an account. Just make sure to use “Direct Link”, not “Link”.

Exactly!
So if I don't make an account (never mind that I already made one), the only way to find my pics again would be to reverse-engineer by finding them here? _________________ Currently Running: Villains & Vigilantes (a 32-year-old campaign with multiple groups) and D6 Star Wars; mostly on hiatus are Adventures in Middle-earth and Delta Green |

Here's what the layout should look like in actual play. I don't know how spread out the PCs will be (they're with one NPC too), but the Talz can get everyone in a 33 foot area, so can likely shoot all of them (some might actually have each other for cover!)  _________________ Currently Running: Villains & Vigilantes (a 32-year-old campaign with multiple groups) and D6 Star Wars; mostly on hiatus are Adventures in Middle-earth and Delta Green |

I'll most likely wait until they are closer to the force screen before unleashing the ambush on them.
I've prepped some things, like the sneak rolls for enemies and the acrobatics roll for the guy leaping down on them.
I'm also going to use the method of having the players roll about 5-6 Perception (or search) rolls ahead of the session, so I'll know which rolls go with which events.
I think it's likely the bad guys will be undetected, even if someone rolls a bunch of 6's. The Talz sets a TN of 27 for being undetected when he unleashes a barrage on them. And the cat-like alien got a 39 for his attack from above!  _________________ Currently Running: Villains & Vigilantes (a 32-year-old campaign with multiple groups) and D6 Star Wars; mostly on hiatus are Adventures in Middle-earth and Delta Green |

The recap:
ZD-15 malfunctions, so Bishop disassembles the droid. Citizens eye the group warily as they travel to a Pelagia station in a rougher part of town. When Pallask and the four leave on their mission early the next morning, they discover a holographic warning showing the visitors are wanted. Later, an energy screen pops up in front of them, blocking their way between buildings and debris. A sniper rains fire down upon them with a machinegun, but they dive for cover and survive the surprise assault! Bishop flies up and takes out the mercenary as the others deal with another who leaps down from above and more who fire on them from the way they came. When the tide turns against the attackers, they flee. Darkscape uses his jetpack to leap the energy wall and corral Jawa Krinzank. The merchant reveals that they were sent by Frrlin, so the pair fake an elaborate holovid showing the adventurers as being killed. Pallask sneaks them into the spaceport through a maintenance tunnel via a secret entrance, where they easily take out three Mecetti thugs attempting to get into “Telari’s” ship. They recover the datafile and turn it over to their new allies with House Pelagia. When they get back to their ship, they find Inquisitor Jerec and his bodyguard Tagora waiting for them!
The ambush worked well. The PCs had to spend a ton of CPs just to avoid being incapacitated by the furious assault from the sniper.
The player of the battle droid ZD-15 will no longer be joining us, so I had him simply malfunction and his 'owner' disassembled him and put him in his backpack. This spurred many Threepio jokes, as well as me kidding that he kept saying "Roger Roger" at inopportune times. _________________ Currently Running: Villains & Vigilantes (a 32-year-old campaign with multiple groups) and D6 Star Wars; mostly on hiatus are Adventures in Middle-earth and Delta Green |
