As stated, these Shadow Assassins are assassins, they are not magical invisibility people (as your own thread stated "but the subtle assassin; the insidious, slip-inside-your-home-as-someone-you-trust is hard to do; the true silent infiltrator type" rolling sideways in a lit room infront of 60 people is not insidious or subtle and its fair to assume the power is a fail - Rule 1.7) and once detected cannot re-conceal. Since the Trandoshans could already see the man in the room, and even despite any magical force ability, lizards navigated primarily by the sense of smell, and concealing the skin cells you dropped as you moved was likely beyond even a shadow guard while fully concealed. They are never stated to have the ability to disappear infront of a whole room of people, especially a whole room who had in many cases killed Jedi themselves.

A two dozen of the Trandoshans around the table just stood and leveled their various disruptors and assorted blasters at the shadow assassin as he rolled away, firing in all directions around him and the directions he could move; (as was highlighted in the Ka-Dek vs stormtroopers thread you simply cant just dodge mass fire with the force even using force speed). Literally hundreds of blaster bolts filled the space where he was and where he could go. There was simply too much firepower to be avoided.

As the Deflector shield that Stark was packing was certainly a 1.7 and seemingly unrequested god mode weapon, he didn't have it (I'll settle for him having the (still extremely rare) kyle katarn style one to be generous). With the wild eyed man jumping toward him he just laughed, moving with greater speed than any human and hefting the barrel up as the little human charged him, it had spirit for sure, but if he had fired the hulking weapon, deflector shield or no he wouldve turned the little man to dust.

He brought the butt of the rifle, studded with metal lumps and weighing close to 20lbs but light in the hands of a being whos strength rivalled that of a Wookiee, bringing it in an upward arc to just smash it into the man's ribcage as he stood, close now, stark would be able to see the claws on Tssk. "Fooolishhhh" he hissed with another grin, a fight was better than the absence of one. Perhaps the reality of the situation would begin to occur to Stark. His magical assassin was not a wizard, his deflector shield was not invulnerability, and he was surrounded by three dozen

_______________________________
The CR-90, being alongside a Munificent-class wasn't dramatically worried about it's blindspot. It just took the little craft's pounding (as naturally its shields were fully active and still powering further up) before the volley was incoming. The Munificent began to rain down hundreds of turbolaser blasts on Stark's ship as it stuck there and the other troublesome escorts. The Trandoshan fighters (having been awaiting this ambush) were swiftly out and away to engage the ship. A half dozen Dropships turned from their duty scenting plunder. As stated the whole fleet of the Trandoshans was in this area moving idly in orbit close to the lucrehulk.

The nearby Munificent, now at an ideal angle to give fire just emptied a broadside of turbolasers against the Beautiful Mind, taking care to stop when the vessel was clearly crippled. Further out from the Lucrehulk were the trusty Gozanti and YT-2400 Outrider clone, they awaited to pick up any craft trying to flee for space.

The other Munificent-type in the area moving swiftly to engagement range, both simply poured massive volumes of fire at any of the craft attempting to approach the CR-90 as it valiantly took its pounding. In total, there were more than 70 point defense lasers covering the Corvette, which would blast fairly easily any small craft apart, no matter how "modded" it was suicide for any fighter to approach the fleet's formation about the Lucrehulk. As the twenty two Nova-Sword fighters skimming in groups to get on the tails of the already heavily embattled craft, engaging with torpedoes and lasers. All the while this was happening, more Trandoshan dropships launched.

The dropships within the hangar just kept up their Ion fire since they'd not been ordered otherwise. The interior landing assistance tractor beams of the Lucrehulk used their pressor function to assure that the explosion of the YV-666 would be easily contained (as was policy on Imperial ships a la episode IV novel). The three Dropships in tank mode kept their fighter grade laser cannons targeted on the doors in case anyone fancied exiting, with the twin turbolaser above aiming down they did keep a few meters distance to avoid any shrapnel the repulsor failed to get.

While indeed, shadow assassins could not just vanish, it was also true that as fast as the Trandoshans moved, they weren't already prepared and weapons-ready as Gadrid moved. Oh, to be sure, there were a few shots that winged him as he rolled, one in the right thigh, two in the right arm and a graze along the ribs, his roll had landed him exactly where he'd aimed to be, which was under the closest table a bare few feet away and as such, was indeed protected from the majority of the blaster fire and out of the fight.

Now, while Trandoshans were reknown for their sheer strength, more than any normal human, there was nothing about them that made them faster than any specific human, and in this case, Stark, trained in a goodly number of fighting styles and a daily practicioner in his knowledge, was not simply any unlimber or untrained human being. As Tssk brought his weapon up and around, in Stark's eye, the battlemind had already taken over and for him, time seemed to slow in perception. Up came the barrel of the weapon, forcefully and not an easy move to reverse so Stark simply went with the motion. By Tssk's very words and clear assumption, he meant to try and ransom Stark on false pretenses. As such, Stark wasn't about to sit down and take it with a laugh.

Up came the barrel and down went Stark, sliding under the point of impact with his legs coiled. Despite their nature and scales and claws, Trandoshans were humanoids and their knees certainly didn't bend backwards. With the movement, so close and unexpected, Stark pistoned his legs out, with the momentum of the slide and run, to ram both heels directly into Tssk's left kneecap. If the lizard wanted a fight, he was about to have one.

The Beautiful Mind's captain had shifted the shields to try and reinforce against the barrage and as such, dropped his shields at a terrible moment on the side he was not expecting an attack from. As such, the turbolaser barrage meant to cripple the yacht instead penetrated it... and destroyed it as the reactor was ruptured and the ship tore apart.

The Final Breath and the Castle Stark guardsman piloting it were likely to go up in a puff of smoke. However, the extreme close proximity of the small craft to the CR90's blindspot was also likely to mean that if 'hundreds of turbolaser blasts' were rained down upon it, it too would suffer some serious damage. The second craft, the Night Arrow, had engaged its SLAM drive though, which jetted it out of the immediate combat zone. With only a limited use, the craft broke for space, firing off a hypercomm alert at the same time as the pilot, another Castle Stark guardsman, did his best to avoid incoming fire. With the extreme speed and the maneuvers he was utilizing, it would be hard to target him as his hyperdrive warmed.

The YV-666 sitting in the bay was, once again, disabled and not in danger of exploding at the moment. It was fully powered down.

The Assassin unfortunately couldnt outrun laser beams, he was struck and either killed or vaporized by the volume of fire, several blasters continuing rounds into him for a few seconds after he fell to the ground, as there was no other table he didnt have cover as he slammed to the floor, burned and blasted (or evaporated if one of the disruptors caught him).

Tssk too was no poor warrior, an ex Jedi hunter kicked his leg up as the pistoning leg came toward his knee, his razor sharp clawed toes moving to intercept where his knee would have been, kicking with his immense strength to strike Stark's feet as they pistoned toward his at an angle to avoid direct impact and strike them with a slash, slicing deep gashes in the mans legs if he did not avoid them. Bringing the disruptor down into the man on the floor's face after intercepting the kick, stepping back and clicking its power up to full. "Wortttth enough dead..." he hissed to the Trandoshans next to him.

The two Trandoshans next to him on left and right two sides had also stood and slashed down toward stark with their equally razor sharp clawed free hands, swinging their rifles around to their backs on slings and in a single movement tearing down to grab his arms with a crushing force that would rend them deeply. The Trandoshans were not an honourable species and a half dozen more approached but too slow to attack yet, now Tssk had said the man could be taken dead they approached with rifles slung, keen to taste his flesh.

The well angled turbolaser fire was naturally on fire solutions which avoided the friendly vessel in the shape of the CR90, a couple accidentally sheared off its shields. All the remaining fire concentrated on the craft with its "SLAM" and the fast and agile nova-swords were well quick enough to keep up with the escaping craft, pumping it full of fire as the Hypercomm jammers of the Munificents present assured only a dead silence could be broadcast, focusing their intensity upon the craft even as their point defense lasers fired. As stated the Gozanti and YT-2400 had been waiting for craft to try and escape and so the YT-2400, boosted to the specs of the famous Outrider, opened fire with its two pairs of ruthlessly efficient laser cannons on starks remaining moving craft.

And so, Gadrid Morthol evaporated in a puff of nothingness as a disruptor beam did catch him.

Tssk might think he had Stark dead to rights, but for as much combat as Tssk had seen, Stark had seen just as much or more and his training against a Force-user put him on footing with Tssk in that regard. Tssk's claws did indeed gash down... Onto open air as Stark, catching the movement, split his legs open. Bracing with the left leg and pushing off, he ended his slide with a sudden shove to the left as the weapon struck the floor a hairsbreath from where his head would have been. The movement put him closer to the Trandoshan on Tssk's left side. Reaching down for him gave Stark the perfect angle to whip his legs about and trip the leaning creature. If such wasn't likely to work, the Trandoshan would likely find an armorweave boot in its face faster than it could block; Stark was trained in the martial fighting of the Echani as well as that of the shadow assassins, and multiple opponents was a specialty. "Coward," Stark growled as he moved. "Afraid to fight a Human by yourself? I am surprised your own people follow you!"

Since there was no prior mention of comm jamming, the message did get out but before it could be repeated, it would be cut off. The Night Arrow could and easily did outdistance the NovaSword fighters, which had no chance against a craft going triple its top speed and made for such. With the rolls and erratic behavior, the ship took a brushing hit against its shields, but with the speed it was going and the movements, any true target lock would be nearly impossible. The ship's escape vector as well would not take it close enough for all weapons to bear.

Alyns comments and his flailing just elicited laughter as Tssk took a quick pair of steps back, his chair clattering back a dozen feet from his momentum, swinging around his Disruptor down, clicking it as it trained on Alyns belly, never having hit the floor simply having been leveled at Alyn. Noone was sympathetic to the notion of him being in single combat with Tssk, the prisoner had simply jumped at him when asked to surrender, this was an assault on their leader that was (by Trandoshan standards) unprovoked.

The Trandoshan Alyn had attacked was kicked in the head, not even pausing as the Humans weak foot slid into its head with a thud, causing no significant damage aside from the momentary daze traditional on the infliction of such blows. The other that had grabbed for Stark stepped back as the kicked one flailed with its claws on one hand raking across and down to rend Alyns groin, belly and leg before pulled itself away and backward.

Two dozen Trandoshans then opened fire on Stark with multiple blaster shots (many of them firing blindly through the table), including the one the little man had not kicked at. Now Tssk was clear and had issued the killing command there was nothing stopping those with lines of sight clear of Trandoshans to fire.

(Unless this magical motor had been approved somewhere, then the ship was definitely not going at twice its normal speed, it being an item which was developed for the Missile Boat which does not exist yet...) The ship skimming around was targeted by such a clear volume of Fire, had made little defense aside from "Goes faster" and would so likely have run into the YT-2400s deft laser fire and been obliterated (afterall even if going faster it doesnt translate to effective evasion) if one of the other blasts didnt catch it.

Alyn didn't seem to want to surrender, as would have saved his life for simply the cost of some money (of which he had plenty) so now the Trandoshans would do with his corpse as the dozens of bolts filled the air, as well as Tssk's Disruptor firing down onto the little man from essentially the other direction, its possible the Trandoshan he kicked might end up in the way of one of the many blaster bolts, but such was war.

The attacks on Stark might well be fatal, and would at the very least inflict grievous wounds that would immobilize him. Stark had attacked the leader of the Trandoshans and he would regret it.

Pending a management ruling of Rule 1.3, Stark would more than likely end up, as mentioned, grievously injured. As for the Night Arrow, which utilized a prototype SLAM system and not the system utilized in the missile boat, despite having the same generalized name. Even if the Night Arrow were destroyed (which is more than likely somehow), the message overall would have gotten out.

(( We're informed that Tssk doesn't intend his attack to be lethal and hence a 1.3 ruling isn't necessary in this case. ))

( Let's go with the following:

Last two fingers of left hand shot off
Blaster bolt to left shoulder
Blaster bolt to right bicep
Two blaster bolts to right leg; one ankle level, one thigh level, missing the artery
Blaster bolt to left abdomen; damaged spleen
Blaster graze to left side of head
Claw damage to left leg from knee down; torn muscles

This should be sufficient)

"Lossst your will to fight?"

Tssk spoke sadistically as the blaster fire ceased leaving his body wrecked on the floor. "He ssssseeems to be leaking" one Trandoshan said to their mutual hisses of laughter as the human lay crippled on the floor. "Do you wissssh for medicaments? Assassin?"

The ship without a SLAM just died very explosively.

Due to shock and injury, Stark was likely close to losing consciousness, or at least at the very edge of such. As such, there was not likely to be a response at the moment.

"Thissss, Alyn Sssstark will be carried away. Let the Magisssstrate and witnessessss be sssssummoned to hear his last will and tesssstament. Hisss woundsss are mortal.."

Stark would be evacuated to a crude medical bay and strapped to the bed. He would be crudely treated by an old medical droid and ill trained doctor. Tssk thought happily this would be a splendid day. He reached down and grasped Alyn's two fingers, passing them to a medic to be cleaned and put on ice to be sustained alive. Alyn too would live, in a manner of speaking... the man would become part of Tssk's menagerie of Freaks used to intimidate opponents, alive in some manners but so disfigured he would wish, pray and dream he were not so. The attack on him, and the insult, had irritated Tssk, and so now they would fall back on the backup plan.

"Prepare the Lordssss brainsss.. for Transssplant" he spoke into a communicator to his personal torturer and surgeon before heading down to the medical bay where Alyn was strapped "Bring him back to conscioussssnesss" said Tssk, as a disarmed BT-16 perimeter droid and a brain jar were brought in, the brain retention fluid bubbled gently..

The two dropships Ion cannons rang out again to fill the ship in the hangar with more Ion charge. After which it was intrusively scanned by the ships own sensors and dropships. With this concluded, the Hangar double turbolaser put a pair of bolts into the transport in the Hangar, low yield enough to blast the ship asunder but not vaporize it or anything of that nature, likely killing those within as the front section of the ship was blasted apart.

There was very little Stark could do in such a state, especially since he was strapped to a table, but such was an unpleasant way to awaken. Nonetheless, he remained silent, if still half-conscious.

The ship in the hangar was indeed destroyed, but whether or not those within were killed was yet to be seen, largely because there was no guarantee they'd stayed in the front section of the ship. Without a search, there was no guarantee, of course, but one might assume with odds that they were dead.
