It was yet another long tiring day on the Eden II Base, so you all have no problem falling into a deep sleep in your cabins on the base...
Boom! Your all Jolted from sleep by a series of massive explosions. The Base alarm siren blasts through every room. Commander Drayson's voice comes on over the intercom speakers: Eden Base is under attack. All personnel must evacuate the base and are to proceed to the the rendezvous points. I repeat, the Imperials are attacking. Evacuate the base... The intercom is cut off by another Explosions.

You Quickly Grab your belongings and stumble out of your quarters. the Corridor outside is filled with base personnel running in the every direction. The ground Shakes with every new explosions, sending cascades of duracrete dust down from the celling. the Illumination panels flicker on and off.


(OK everyone here you go: you've got four possible directions to go.

Head for the Command center.
Go grab some supplies before evacuating.
Head for the Hanger Bay.
Head for the back door.

Selia, having made sure her room was as close to the hanger as possible, heads towards the hanger as the sirens sound, trying to make sure that all the fighters she is responsible for are good to take off.

Karloth

Awakening with a ground shaking explosion, Karloth barely has the foresight to dress and grab his equipment before making his way to the door. Watching the chaos in the hallways he squeezes into a spot between two beings heading towards the command post.

As he finally makes his way through the falling duracrete and darkened hallways to the heart of the base, Karloth immediately heads for a large bank of computers. He pulls out his datapad with a few wires from his slicers kit and proceeds to download what vital information he can. With the limited processing power from the handheld device and small storage capacity of the ten empty disks in his pocket it won't be much, but he hopes it will be enough. As soon as all ten disks are full he pulls the wires from the computer and his datapad, hits the self destruct under the guarded switch and watches the sparks fly out of the back of his former workstation. I've always wanted to do that.

[Tichrondrius]

Chadin

Snore. Possibility droning out the alarms, Chadin snores on his bed with silk sheets, dreaming of his home-planet and going back when he's done here..

Eden Base is under attack. All personnel must evacuate the base and are to proceed to the the rendezvous points. I repeat, the Imperials are attacking. Evacuate the base...

It took it a couple of times over the loudspeaker, but eventually Chadin was jarred awake. What?! Imperials?! Here?! Were his first thoughts as he struggled quickly to put his clothes on and stuffed everything into a bag. "Oh, blast it, where is my good Datapad?" He exclaimed, cursing and throwing his basic one in instead.

He knew he couldn't stay around here long. First they would destroy all defensives, then execute everyone- even him! He couldn't let them see him. Exiting his chambers he looked left and right- why did it have to be now? He was brushed aside by some personal and, with a sigh of regret, ran to the Command Center.

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Eden Base is under attack. All personnel must evacuate the base and are to proceed to the rendezvous points. I repeat, the Imperials are attacking.

Waking from his well deserved sleep, Damian immediatly sits op in his bed and grabs his blaster pistol. "Ophelia! We've got to get the kids to safety!" were his first words as Ophelia awoke at all the noise.

Getting his cloths on in a rush, he felt a stab of emotional pain as Christie and Charles started to cry. Ophelia hurried over to them, saying that they need to be strong right now, and everything is going to be okay.

"You take Cristie and Charles to the Command Center, I'll run for supplies" Damian said over the ear deafening sound of the warning klaxon.
Ophelia looked at him with concern in her eyes, and said "Don't be too long", while she wrapped her arms protectively around their children.
Damian kneeled down beside her and said "You know I wouldn't let you go on your own, unless I belived it was the only right thing to do" he kissed her on her cheek and looked at Cristie and Charles. "Now be good and do as your mother says. I won't be gone for long, so I'll see you soon".
Damian smiled, stood up and grabbed his packback, then he sprinted down the hallway, towards the storage bay.

[Sayn]

Joorn

As soon as the first few explosions are heard, Joorn wakes up with a jolt. Even if his mind doesn't comprehend immediately what is going on, his experience tells him quickly enough. Danger.
Prioritizing his survival before anything else at the moment, he quickly grabs his gear, swings his rifle over his shoulder, and runs toward the storage bay. If all comes to worse, having supplies might be the difference between life and death.

[Derwood]

With the station shaking at it's core all around him, Dra Ven calls to his races pragmatic roots. Dressing and verifying he has all of the essentials that he kept close in his kit, he hauls for the Hanger and gets into the nearest small transport he sees and hops into the pilot seat and starts the pre-flight checks. As soon as he gets past the basics, he throws it into auto and gets back to the ramp and starts signaling at whomever comes rolling by that they need to get on board and quick!

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara never slept well on such dry planets, but this night was especially disturbing for having been plagued by nightmares and horrible dreams where she was constantly hunted by the Empire.

She awoke with a start, her skin comfortably moist. She decided it must be time to be up and about so she rose and got dressed. Just as she clipped her utility belt on, the explosions started and the intercom blared out orders.

Jesara wasn't especially good at anything in particular around the base, she acted more as a general laborer, so she figured it would be her task to load supplies for the evacuation. She leaves her quarters and walks calmly to the Storage Bay and begins hauling them down to the Flight Deck, using whatever mechanical aids are available. Not sure what to bring first, she picks whatever container 'feels like' it needs to be evacuated.

Soon enough, the Mon Calamari woman arrives in the Docking Bay with her first load of supplies, where she inquires, "Do we have time to acquire more supplies, or is the destruction of the base imminent?"

[pinkbunny]

Sel, starting up fighters whose pilots hadn't arrived yet, finishes with one, swinging out of the cockpit and calling towards the Mon Calamari, "By the sound of it, they're almost through the shield. Some supplies aren't worth your life, get out of here while you can."

[Graybacca]

Selia & Dra Ven

As Selia and Dra Ven race from there quarters and down the hallway to the hanger bay the base is again Rocked by another explosions, as the base takes another, the hit is so violent that it sends both Selia and Dra Ven to the floor at the same time the sealing above there heads collapse sealing off All access to the Hanger bay they both manged to avoid most the larger chunk of the falling Debris but Selia was hit hard in the back of the shoulder sending her to the ground (6 HP dmg), Dra Ven is hit in the small of his back and is also knocked to the ground (4 HP dmg).

Jesara & Joorn & Damian

As Jesara & Joorn & Damian all run for the storage Bay the Base continues to shake and rumble from the bombardment, as you all arrive at the storage Bay, is in shambles as some crate have falling over from the bombardment, there are base personal open and handing out Field Kits, Food and water, spare clothing, power packs, and fusion lantern. Jesara Quickly grabs several things for the pilots and then rush back into the hallway and heads for the Hanger bay shes about half way there when the sealing collapsed blocking all access to the Hanger bay.


Karloth & Chadin & Damian's Family

Karloth & Chadin & Damian's Famaly alll enter the command center witch is a den of controlled kaos as damage reports and orders are yelled back and forth, i the middle of it is Commander Drayson, Damian's wife and kids quickly move to her station witch is right next to Commander Drayson, Karloth quickly move s to and undamaged console near the edge of the room and quickly find that there's a star destroyer in orbit bombarding the base and that fighters and bombers are on there way. Chadin just listens to the reports and hears, Damian's wife say, Commander we just lost communication with the shield control bunker and the ION cannon control. Commander Drayson relays, Sound the main evacuation alarms we won't last lo... his words are cut off as the command center take s direct hit, and the roof collapses on top of him and all the officer's in the middle of the command center including Damian's Family killing all of them. Both Karloth & Chadin where untouched by the roof collapse.

[Sayn]

Joorn

After grabbing some extra water and an extra power pack from the storage bay, Joorn starts to make his way to the hangar only to find that the way is blocked.
He mutters softly, and decides that if he can not escape using the starships, then he'll have to make due with merely hiding somewhere outside the base. He then starts to run towards the back door.

[pinkbunny]

Sel pushes herself up groaning, rubbing her shoulder, which is starting to ooze red onto her shirt and bare arm. "that's gonna leave a mark." She offers her right, nonbleeding arm to the fallen Kel Dor. "We're not getting out that way. I hope some of the pilots got to their fighters."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara stops when she comes upon the collapse passageway. Seeing there was no way through, she uses her commlink to call to the command center(or whoever is listening to the standard Rebel channel), [The passage to the docking bay has collapsed. Everyone will need to evacuate out the other way. Any ships waiting in the docking bay should launch, no one else is coming.]

Jesara, seeing some people hurt by falling debris(Sel and Dra Ven), abandons her supplies and moves to help them up. "Come with me, this way is blocked. We'll evacuate out the personnel entrance." Jesara corrals them back the way she came, stopping briefly at the Storage Bay to get whatever supplies are being handed out for herself and the two injured Rebels.

[pinkbunny]

"I figured that" Sel replies, helping up the Kel Dor, then retrieving her flight suit and helmet, which she had dropped. Considering the alarming shaking of the base, she puts on the helmet and picks up as many supplies as she can handle, consenting to be herded for the moment.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo

Tired, startled, and a little hung over from celebrating, Cheelo falls out of bed, still wearing his flightsuit from the night before. Gfresh! Taking a moment longer than he should to realize what's going on, he jumps into action, grabbing his belongings in a half-panic. This isn't how it's supposed to happen! Jactna! Cheelo bolts out of his room, instinctively heading for the Hanger.

He turns the corner and sees the collapsed ceiling and the injured personnel running his way. He looks at them, almost pleading, almost enraged. The hanger? How do we... Isn't there another way?

[Derwood]

Dra Ven takes Selia's offered hand and gets up, shaking off the impact. Glaring at the rubble and letting out a grunt that comes accross more as a growl, he heads towards the personel exit, drawing his weapon and keeps with his newfound allies.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The Mon Calamari dips her head and looks away slightly at Sel's harsh response. Of course you did. Humans... so rude. Jesara continues with her original plan of escape, but tries to maintain her calm and be patient with the rest of the base's occupants as the scramble, running in fear.

When the Human and Kel Dor move off, Jesara follows, stopping momentarily at the Storage Bay to get survival supplies.

[eex]

Lyn Meii

When the speakers began shouting orders Lyn slowly opened her eyes, she had already been up for what must have been an hour, meditating. She quickly rose to her feet and grabbed her lightsaber, the only personal item she owned except the clothes she was wearing, tucking it away in it's hidden pocket inside her wide, right sleeve. Lyn had only been to the base for 68 hours now and she still had only a fleeting idea about the layout of this base.

Lyn took some time to make sure she hadn't forgot something, which in itself would have been a feat since she didn't own anything. She then opened the door and started running towards the hangar Bay only to see the roof fall down and almost hitting two people, a Human and a Kel Dor. Suddenly a Mon Calamari come into view, and started helping the two wounded rebels. She says something about personnel entrance and then started moving towards Lyn. As they walked past she decided her best shot was probably to follow them and leave the base before the roof decided it would be fun to fall over the short Twi'lek.

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Damian picks up severel power packs(3) and a single days worth of field rations. He quickly stuffs the things in his backpack, then hurries off towards the command center.

Pushing his way past all the people running towards the backdoor, Damian suddenly has a feeling that something is terribly wrong. Not only are the 'civilians' that live on the station running for their lives, most of the pilots run the opposite way of the docking bay, and the medical staff is also evacuating. There better be a good explanation for all this he thinks as he steps into the command center. Or rather, whats left of it.

Damian stares in horrible disbelief at the scene in front of him. Not only was the center of the room destroyed by the huge chunks of rock that had fallen, there was no sign of his family being nearby.
For a moment, he didn't think. He was awake and seeing, hearing, even feeling the terrible fate that had befallen his family, yet it was as if he was sleeping. Nothing was real.

Reality suddenly became solid, and his mind awoke. He knew that Ophelia would do anything to help commander Drayson, and that she would stand almost shoulder to shoulder with him in the center of the room, keeping track of damage inflicted to the station via the main computer.
He also knew that she would have kept Cristie and Charles right besides her, guarding them with her life.

Damian fell to his knees, his ability to think rationally drowned in the feelings of enormous loss that all people feel when they lose their loved ones. He was unable to face the scene of his family's death, so he look at the floor, trying to find solace in it's grayish surface. He felt the hot tears he shred falling from his cheeks, and he saw them slowly dotting the floor, so that even that was tainted by his loss.

He closed his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he felt that he truly hated the Empire.

[Tichrondrius]

Chadin

An epic string of curses escaped Chadin's lips as rubble fell down everywhere- hell, it even looked like a few kids have been crushed! There was noting like watching some kids get crushed to death to make even an arrogant pretty boy solemn for the moment.

"Oh.. Force help us..." He mumbled to himself, aghast. Stepping backwards, mumbling to himself at the sheer horror of watching these people he had been with all this time convert from living, breathing, humans to masses of mush and blood dotting the floor. He had never seen anyone die.

Only an accidental stumbling over the man who had lost just his family, Damian, broke him from his shock. Falling to the floor beside him, he grabbed at his collar and struggled to get up. "We've got to get the hell out of here!" He said, too loud and, with a quick look around, started toward the back door.

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Something bumped into him. Damian looked up to see what it was, and he saw that it was someone.
He looked at the person and discovered, much to his surprise, that the person was still living. Well, at least he spoke.
But Damian didn't hear his words. They were lost to him, as lost as his family.
He had loved them, and he suddenly realised the full magnitude of the situation. They where dead, and he would never see them again. Never hear them laugh or call his name, never see them smile.
He rose.
His body was not his own to control.
For some reason he couldn't explain, something in him told him that he needed to move.
He realised that there was an emotion he had all but forgotten, burried deep beneath the rolling waves of sorrow and anger.

It was fear.

Damian started to run, his legs leading him clumsily out of the command center. He didn't know where he was running to, and he didn't care. He needed to get away! This was all just a bad dream, and he was going to wake up any minute now.
He never woke. But his legs ran, and they decided to follow that young man right in front of him.

[Venom]

Karloth

The falling debris in the room made it difficult to see anything for a short while, but when the smoke and dust settled somewhat he could see that there was very little of the room left except for him and and two humans over by the only remaining exit. We've got to get out of here. There are Tie fighters and bombers inbound, and an ISD in orbit, and we've lost shield control and the Ion cannon. Taking out his comm unit he presses the button for a broadband communication. This is the sole remaining survivor in the command station. He pauses to let that fact sink in. We've lost shield control, and the Ion cannon. To all pilots, we have fighters and bombers inbound and an ISD in orbit. Flee if you can, and may the force be with us all.

At that he sees a human slumped over in the doorway with another younger human trying to get him to his feet. I don't know what you've lost here this day, but there isn't any time for mourning, he says to him as he brushes past him in his own attempt at escape.

[Quixotico]

Standing dumbly for a second, Cheelo snaps around as the last person passes him, away from the blocked tunnel. He takes off down the hallway to the common lounge. He looks around, trying to figure out where to go. What to do? Where to go? How to prepare? His head perks up slightly. He looks around, orientates himself, and runs down to the vehicle bay to see what options might there lie.

[Graybacca]

As you all Make you way toward the Back entrance you pass the storage bay as you all turn the corner in the hallway the base is rocked hard by a direct hit ahead of you the the Stone overhead splits open and collapses...

As you all skid to a stop the Bombardment Suddenly intensified, causing the floor to ungulate and the lights to flicker on and off, it sends Selia, Jesara, Lyn Meii. Damian, and Cheelo to there knees as they lose there balance, the other manage to re-tine there footing, as the Bombardment moves away the lights fail plunging you in darkness, you hear the tunnel behind you collapse, as the Bombardment subsides for the moment, some emergency lighting flickers to life, as yo dust yourselves off you all begin to look for a way out, almost simultaneously, Jesara, Joorn, Cheelo, and Damian, spot near the top of the collapse sealing in front of the some light picking though, it might be possible to shift the large rock at the top aside and climb your way to freedom.

[Quixotico]

Come on! Quick! Cheelo scrambles up to the light. Before the whole thing comes down on us! He starts dragging rubble out of the way as best he can.

[eex]

Lyn Meii

As the floor starts shaking Lyn Meii completely loses her foothold and falls to her knees, she swears in Mando'a "Oritsir". When she stands up and hears the tunnel collapse behind her she panics for a moment, before Cheelo shouts, "Come on! Quick! Before the whole thing comes down on us!".
Lyn climbs up the rubble and helps Cheelo clear a path.



Dont know if you need a str check, but I'll make one just in case.
[roll0]

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

When the floor twists and turns out from underneath Jesara, she instinctively drops down to lower her center of gravity. Once is stops and a way out is visible, she helps the others climb up the pile of debris towards the light. Once everyone else is clear, she follows.

[Sayn]

Successfully maintaining his balance, Joorn quickly spots the small source of light. He runs toward it and starts helping those that are already trying to clear the rubble.

Well, a str check seems logical in this situation.
[roll0]

[Venom]

Karloth

In the darkness Karloth takes out his glowrod to get a better look around. He quickly follows the others up the rudimentary shaft once he sees where they're going. Once he makes his way up he gives everything he has to help budge the large rock blocking their exit.

[roll0]

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Dra Ven braces himself as the room shakes and covers his head when the roof comes down on him, Not again.... Waiting until the rumbling stops, he looks around in the darkness and sees nothing until someone clicks on a glowrod. As his eyes adjust to the light, he takes up the rear and follows the rest of the group up the shaft.

If the group still hasn't gotten the rock moved, Dra Ven will add his bulk to the battle. str check: [roll0]

[Quixotico]

(( OOC Oh, yeah... duh. [roll0] ))

[Graybacca]

with in a few minute, between the efforts of Lyn Meii and Cheelo they easily shove the large rock aside, letting in the sunlight as you climb out into the bottom of a turbolaser strike, as you look a round to you right you see some TIEs in the direction of the hanger bay, it looks like a pair of fighter escorting some bomber, as they make a turn to make another run, you suddenly you see a lone X-wing shot out of the hanger bay, it stays close to the ground and then quickly disappears. to you left is the Edan II forest and safety.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The last one out, Jesara climbs out of the hole without assistance to see everyone standing around. She immediately notices the TIE fighters and says, "Excellent. At least some of our pilots made it out. We should seek cover before the TIE fighters decide to hunt us down."

Jesara takes a look at this disabled turbolaser and adds, "I don't believe that is functional. Is anyone familiar with the external terrain?"

[Venom]

Karloth

Taking a look around he's glad to see the lone X-wing pilot taking what he can only assume is his advice and fleeing instead of fighting. Thank the gods, he may live to see another day. Upon further examination the only viable option of escape is into the totally unfamiliar forest. BLAST IT! I should have paid closer attention in survival school, he thinks to himself. No, no I'm afraid I don't know a thing about this blasted planet. Get me around a computer and we'll be fine, out here, I'm of little use to any of you. It looks like that forest is going to be our safest bet though.

[Quixotico]

((OOC I don't suppose any operational vehicles were left in the vehicle bay, eh?))

Cheelo brandishes his carbine and looks around. They'll be coming for the base after they've bombarded it to their satisfaction. We can run away like frightened prey, or we can set an ambush and turn the hunt on them. There's only a few entrances; We can stake out one and wait for our enemy to invade, to turn their backs to us. Then we strike!

(( OOC Survival check for the terrain: [roll0] ))

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Looking curiously at the Rodian, Dra Ven shakes his head. If it's a Star Destroyer up there, they can have 10,000 Stormtroopers on the ground in a matter of hours far better equipped than us. It's pointless for us to ambush a few dozen when hundreds will take their place. Lets get away from here as quickly as we can and wait this out to the best of our ability. With any luck, we should be able to come back and salvage something or repair the communications gear to get a signal out to be rescued.

As they say- those who run live to fight another day...

[Quixotico]

...My people do not say such things. He shrugs. However, you do make sense. Fighting the troops with our numbers might be satisfying, but it will hardly fix the actual problem. No, you're completely right; we have to destroy that star destroyer.

[Tichrondrius]

"Destroy a Star Destroyer? Are you insane?" Chadin asked, finally catching up after having managed to not help at all with the heavy lifting. "The empire is way to strong to take on.."

"Our best bet bet is to run mindlessly into the forest and hide, gibbering, hoping they don't find us." He said, rubbing his hands together, obviously joking, and looking for a better plan.

[eex]

Lyn Meii

"I also think moving towards the forest would be the best idea. As long as we try to get as much cover as possible, I for one don't want fighters and bombers noticing us". Lyn raises her head and looks for the trio in the sky.

She takes her lightsaber from the secret pocket in her sleeve and looks at it.
I wonder if this can protect from fighter lasers? She slowly shakes her head, I don't really feel like trying.
She takes one last look at the lightsaber and leaves it in her hand before she raises her head.
"We should get going as soon as possible, we need cover."

[Quixotico]

The Death Star was many times larger than any star destroyer, and that was destroyed. Anyways, we'd have to have a plan. Cheelo looks to the sky, following Lyn's gaze. In the mean time, sure, let's take refuge in the forest.

[Sayn]

Joorn

Even though he still feels a slight stab of irritation from not being able to help with the boulder at all, Joorn still feels a small amount of hope when he sees the forest.
Now there's a nice change of pace. Even if the fighters leave, they'll soon send troops to scout the surrounding forests in hope of capturing any suvivors. Best find some good cover, and fast.

Maybe we can sneak aboard some transport and flee, I don't know. But right now, surviving is the first priority.

He pulls out his blaster pistol, since it will be easier to run with a small pistol when compared to the sniper on his back.

[eex]

Lyn Meii

Lyn takes a look at Cheelo.
"It is true that the Death star was destroyed, but as far as I know the rebels needed more than..." Lyn seems to be counting the people around her. "...nine people to destroy it, not to talk about fighters and bombers, which we don't have." She shakes her head and looks at Cheelo again, "No, I think the idea of destroying the Star Destroyer is a rather silly one, all we can do now is run and hide."
She looks at all the people around her again, I don't know any of these people...
"My name is Lyn by the way" she says while looking towards the forest.

[Quixotico]

Oh, uh, I'm Cheelo. Yeah, well, see... His brow furrows in thought for a second then frowns. ...let's get moving. No reason to give them a sitting target.

[Sayn]

Joorn

Already running towards the trees, he turns his head and shouts Are you guys comin' or not?! and then continues running.

[pinkbunny]

After clambering out, the short young woman takes a second to examine her bloody arm, which has begun to scab over under a layer of dust. She then pronounces, "Good t' meetcha. Call me Sel." She pulls the blaster at her hip, "If we're lucky we can 'borrow' a hyperspace worthy shuttle from the stormies." She then starts to jog after the others

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara listens the opinions, but does not constrain herself as to not being able to destroy a star destroyer. Eventually she says, "Discretion would seem to be wise. We should seek cover in the forest."

Jesara looks around and says, "At the very least we should move away from this area. The Imperials are bound to explore the area immediately around this base."

Jesara moves with the others towards the trees, but at a casual pace. No rush.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo follows Joorn, carbine still in hand. Coming, yes. :smallsigh:

[Tichrondrius]

"Chadin, charmed." He said, jogging up with the rest, and directing a nod at the ladies.

[Graybacca]

You make your way down the and pass the personal entrance that looks to have takeing strike from the turbolaser, You dash off into the dense forest, worried that the fighter might have seen you or another bombardment. peering up into the sky you see the white silver of a Star Destroyer in orbit. Several points on it flash green, Turbolaser bolts which rain down on the base, basting the ruins with every hit.

"Halt Right There!"Off to one side is two squads of 4 white-armored Imperial scout Troopers. they're picking their way through the dense forest undergrowth, trying to catch up to you. "Stop those Rebels!" their Commander Shouts. The trooper open fire.

Following the others as in a stupor, Damian didn't react at all to them introduceing themselves. He stared at the star destroyer, his mind trying to find some kind of stability in all this chaos.

As the other survivors began the walk towards the forest, Damian follow without a word. Not really looking where he was going, he almost bumped into severel trees.

"Halt Right There!"
[roll0]
The words were like a catalyst, triggering something in him that he felt he had forgotten.
He quickly whirled behind a tree, taking cover as a refleks. His rifle was in his hands almost as soon as he heard the faint, but distinctive sound of a grenade being primed.

[Tichrondrius]

With a sigh, or squeek, of resolve, Chadin hides and only sometimes shoots at them from the safety of his hiding place with his normal blaster.

Attack - [roll0]
Damage - [roll1]

[Venom]

Karloth

Peeking out from behind his cover, Karloth squeezes off a shot at one of the stormtroopers in the first squad. BLAST! How did they find us so fast unless they knew where to look? He doesn't even pay any attention to his own internal voice due to the sudden appearance of the empires elite troopers bearing down on their position.

(([roll0], [roll1]))

[eex]

Lyn Meii

"I don't think they knew were to look. They probably just sent out scouting teams to search the woods in case someone managed to flee the scene, at least thats what I'd do and probably what any commander would. " She speaks calmly without looking at Karloth. Her eyes closed it looks like she is trying to concentrate on her breathing and listen for footsteps closing in.

(([roll0]))

[Graybacca]

All thou the imperials got the drop on the Rebel and managed to fire first but missed, the rebel were quick to retaliate, Cheelo his aim true puts a blaster bolt right though the head of the lead trooper in group 1 killing him, Dra Ven aim is also true and put a blaster bolt though a trooper chest in group 1, killing him, Jesara tosses her frag grenade at the second group of trooper they see it coming and attempt to leap to safety but the frag grenade goes off all the troopers in group 2 are caught in the edge of the blast (7 dmg), Karloth looking out from behind his cover he shots and kills one trooper from group 2, Lyn gets luck and one of the troopers from Group 2 moves near to her cover she come out swinging and separates the troopers head from the rest of his body, Selia fire her aim is true and strikes a trooper from Group 1 in the chest killing him, The last trooper from group 1 returns fire hitting Selia hard (13 Dmg), Joorn fire at the last trooper from group 1 and hits him hard but the trooper still stands (8 dmg), the two remaining trooper from group 2 return fire and hit Damian (15 Dmg) and Karloth (15 Dmg), Chadin fires hitting one the remanding troopers from group 2 killing him.

[pinkbunny]

Sel catches the blaster bolt in the thigh, letting out a half-gast, half-squeak and diving to the ground, trying to make herself as small a target as possible in the undergrowth.

(OOC: move to the closest place I can get full cover by diving prone, then dive down.)

[Derwood]

Seeing that Sel is in hurt pretty badly, Dra Ven pushes her behind him "Stay behind me!" and opens fire again on the Troopers.

Harms Way: Swfit action, I'll be taking any attacks aimed at Sel for this round.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Damian had tried to take cover behind one of the trees, but he was just a bit too large. One of the troopers hit him in his exposed shoulder, and Damian stumbled a few steps forward as the unexpected pain tore at his shoulder.
Seeing an opportunity to 'pacify' one of the rebels, another trooper shot at Damian. The blaster bolt hit Damian just beneath the other shot, and Damian tumbled to the ground.

Trying to at least do some damage before he was to be killed by these damn troopers, Damian took a few shots at them as he rose and tool cover again.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[eex]

Lyn Meii

Lyn quickly looks out from behind her cover and notices the two remaining 'Troopers. She quickly charges one of them (G2) and attempts to cut him down before he can squeeze of another shot. All the while keeping her blade between herself and any blaster shots aimed towards her.

((If the forest is not obstructed terrain she will charge, otherwise just normal attack.
[roll0] <= If charge she gains +2
[roll1]

In case she gets shot she will use Deflect
[roll2]

[Sayn]

Joorn

Annoyed at the stormtrooper he hit because he survived, he fires yet another round at him. Just die already!


Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara, not entirely happy with the results of that grenade blast, decides not to press her luck. She remain concealed behind a tree, hopefully. She pulls out her stun baton and readies herself to attack any troopers which approach this close.

Rolls :

[roll0] To detect the trooper(if needed)
[roll1] Smack him with a stun baton
[roll2]
[roll3]

[Venom]

Karloth

Somewhere between a scream and a whimper, Karloth takes the troopers blaster shot to the side of his ribcage. Both his momentum from trying to duck the shot and the actual shot itself spin him around and down to the ground. Never had he felt such searing pain before in all his life. He lays on the ground in the fetal position trying to make the pain go away.

((Taking one swift action the next 3 rounds to improve his condition. Since he was almost mortally wounded I'll say it would take someone at least that long to snap out of the pain.))

[Quixotico]

Cheelo hoots as the first trooper goes limp, then falls to a knee to take his next shot.

(( [roll0] ))

Cheelo spots Sel hurt and opens fire on her attacker, hollering a curse in Rodese. Golo nochta mootoe, ne linga sochack!

(( [roll1] , [roll2] ))

[Tichrondrius]

Chadin

"Oh force help me.." Chadin mumbled to himself hiding behind his tree, rubbing his hands together around his gun. He had never actually killed someone before! Sure, he carried a gun.. but..

Glancing over, he noticed one of his allies mortally wounded and, swallowing his reservations, peaked out and fired wildly into the crowd of stormtroopers again.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Graybacca]

Again with great skill Cheelo kills another trooper, moments later between the efforts of Jesara & Lyn Meii the last trooper falls, you know that with the speed this fight happened the troopers never had a chance to call for reinforcements but you also realize that there are bound to be other patrols in the area, so there is not much time to stand about.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Once the troopers are all down Jesara quickly moves to the nearest couple and recovers some essential supplies(3 frag grenades, 2 rifles, and 2 utility belts(with medpac))

Once she has the gear, she slings the utility belts over her shoulder like a bandoleer, slings one of the rifles, clips the grenades onto her belt, readies the other rifle and continues to flee with the rest of the rebels.

Why does that woman have a lightsaber? Is she a Jedi? Am I not the last? Perhaps she simply killed a Jedi and took it from them.

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Running up to one of the troopers as soon as the last of the group hits the ground, Dra Ven starts ripping equipment from the corpse. Working with practiced efficiency of one that is used to donning armour himself, he removes the troopers armour, blaster and utility belt.

Tossing the gear into his pack, he moves back to Sel and hands her the Med kit from the utility belt, "I was never great with first aid kid, and you're looking a little on the rough side. We're going to need to take a run for it, and who knows how many other troopers there are out there, so stay close by me and I'll try to make sure you don't take any more shots.

Putting the Stormtroopers helmet on, he listens to the Comm chatter for any signs that the firefight was caught by any of the other patrols.

OOC: Dra Ven will stay by Sel and keep the Harm's Way going on her, even if she objects. He will keep the comm. active on the Stormtrooper's helmet to listen in on their chatter.

[Venom]

Karloth

Laying in the fetal position for what seemed like hours, Karloth finally manages the strength to lift his head to look around. Seeing the others move about as if the immediate danger had passed. Gingerly picking himself off the forest floor he peeks from behind the tree he had fallen behind to see all the troopers laying dead and at weird angles. Moving slowly over to one of the troopers he takes their E-11 blaster, belt with their supplies, and removes the helmet to retrieve the integrated comm unit.

((Since combat is over I assume I don't need to worry about rounds. If that's not the case then I'll spend 2 swift actions recovering to my normal condition, and the last swift action as using "second wind", thus bringing my HP up to 13 out of 18. Then I'll move over to the dead trooper to remove his belongings.))

[pinkbunny]

"I'm useless with these things. I fix machines, not people." She pulls herself up, leaning on Dra-Ven's arm, "And who are you calling kid?"

[Sayn]

Alright then... Time to get moving. If we're lucky, no one heard anything from our fighting, but I'd rather not take that risk.

Following his own advise, he quickly continues in the direction they were running before. Though, not before he grabs another spare power pack from the troopers.

[pinkbunny]

"Any of you good with a medpack?"

[Quixotico]

Ah ja! You see? One way or another, the Hunt comes. Cheelo finds the trooper he shot in the head and takes a couple spare power packs, the rifle, and a frag grenade. Yes, Let's go!

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Seeing Sel limping, Jesara nods and says, "I have received training on the use of a medpac." Jesara motions to Dra Ven to set Sel down so that Jesara can have better access. Jesara does her best, given the unfamiliar alien physiology.


[roll0]

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Panting from the excitement of the battle, and from the pain of his wounds, Damian slowly walks towards the injured girl.

"I'm a professional physician" he says as he sits besides the two women. "If you want me to take a look at it I will, but it seems like this young lady knowes what she is doing".

[eex]

Lyn Meii

Lyn retracts the blade of her lightsaber and puts it back in her secret pocket. She then goes over to the headless trooper and takes the utility belt and rifle, Still having the stern face she had during the battle. She silently starts walking of following Joorn.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara smiles and sighs in relief when the doctor shows up. "Thank you doctor. I'm not sure I've got this right." Jesara backs away and allows the doctor to do his work. Jesara goes back to watching for more approaching stormtroopers.

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

As soon as the flurry of activity subsides, Dra Ven puts his fist in the air and looks around, Alright- we need to keep moving. There's a lot of chatter right now, and I honestly can't tell who's comin or goin right now. Lets get into the deep woods and figure out where we're going to go from there."

[pinkbunny]

Sel sighs as the anestetic numbs the pain in her leg, the bacta patches speed the healing, and she can walk decently again. "Thanks" she smiles at the Mon Calamari, then limps off, holding onto Dra Ven's shoulder.

She whispers into his ear, "And just cause I'm short doesn't mean I'm a kid."

OOC: now at 13 HP

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Grinning, Dra Ven helps support Sel and chuckles a bit, "Sure thing... kid."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The Mon Calamari nods at Dra Ven, readies her new found rifle and moves out in the direction indicated. She keeps an eye out for approaching troops.


[roll0]

[Graybacca]

As you all make your way deeper into the dense forest, night begins to fall with in the hour the night is lite only by pale moon light.


......Fade Out.... End Part 1: Assault on Edan II
......Fade In.... Begin Part 2: Defeated!


You gaze thought the fading mist of your own breath in to the Edan night. It's cold: cold and eerily silent on the edge of the deep forest. The pristine atmosphere of Edan II -unmolested by industrial pollution- let the star shine in perfect clarity. As you look up to the myriad of distant suns, and the war which you know is occurring between them, you wonder if you'll ever be among the stars again.

It has been four days since the Imperials siege of Edan Base. The Sky slowly changes hues, lighting from a midnight black to a deep blue. The dawn is coming - and with it another day of survival on a lonely world. You've heard of a major settlement on this continent and one that lies to the south. With any luck you'll find fuel and weapon, spare equipment and Rebel sympathizers there.

You Remember hering Commander Drayson mentioning five rendezvous points scattered around the planet. Perhaps your fellow rebels are waiting for you at one of them.

But there will be no escape as long as that Star Destroyer is in orbit. In the deepest part of your minds, you know that you'll have to deal with the Imperial Star Destroyer Havoc before you can leave this world.

The faintest crest of the sun rises over the Eastern mountain range, and the chirping of a hundred Edan birds begins to fill the silence...


((OK so for all intents and purpose your all healed up, also go ahead and add a level every one.))

[pinkbunny]

Selia sleeps curled up beside Dra-Ven, snoring softly. Her head rests on her folded flight suit, and she doesn't seem bothered by the lack of bedding, perhaps comforted by the soft, constant hum of the Kel-Dor's breath mask. As the first rays of sun peek through the leaves, she turns, averting her eyes and trying to catch a few more minutes of sleep. She gives up after a few seconds, rising and shaking the dew off of her clothes with a sigh.

HP: [roll0]

[Venom]

Karloth

Up before the morning sun still feeling weak as a baby bantha in a krayt dragons maw, Karloth is sweeping through the data disks he loaded with information during the attack on their old station. Finally taking a break to rest his eyes he looks up at the pre-dawn sky and still sees the gray wedge shaped Imp star in orbit. Wish I had a real computer terminal with me, I'd find all sorts of things about you, he says more to himself than the stiring group.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo

During these past days, Cheelo has been keeping an eye out for chances at fresh food, to supplement the meager rations brought with during the evacuation of the base. No reason to starve when we've got an entire Star Destroyer anxious to kill us first. Sometimes walking to the side of the group to gain some distance from the sound of their trek, he looks at the various flora and hopes for the occasional fauna.

If you want a check per day, here they are. If not, just take the first one. I guess today would be day five?
Day One Survival d20+12
Day Two Survival d20+12
Day Three Survival d20+12
Day Four Survival d20+12
Day Five Survival d20+12

As dawn breaks, Cheelo sits up with a grown and brushes the dew from his flight suit. So... any suggestions of where we should go? We've got options. I say we make our way to the closest settlement. They'll have transport there.

[Sayn]

Joorn

Not unfamiliar with surviving in the wilderness by himself, this was a small ordeal. Joorn's still as calm as anyone could possibly be under the circumstances.

He looks at Cheelo when he speaks, and answers.
The closest settlement would indeed be the best option right now. Although, we cannot forget that there's almost certainly Imperials there as well.

[Quixotico]

As they say, "with newoongall (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Newoongall) above and ghest (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ghest) behind, I'll take my chances with the Hutt," eh? We'll be seeing Imperials no matter where we go.

[pinkbunny]

"Imperials come from the Impstar-Deuce, in shuttles. Most standard shuttles have hyperspace capability and ample feul. All we'd have to do would be to wait until the big triangle in the sky orbits to the other side, then run. Unless they're in geosychronous, but we should still be able to get around the planet if we disable the transponder and fly low." She shrugs, offering her ideas to the group before gravitating to the furriest member and his datapad. "What do you want to know? I know a little about them."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara, unhappy with the dryness of the air and its affect on her skin, has been irritable. Her only solace is her meditation and the calming effect of standing guard.

When the subject of a destination comes up, Jesara says, "A possibility it remains, that an imperial shuttle is present at the remains of our old base. It is also possible, however unlikely, that a functional ship remains buried in the facility." Her thoughts drift off for the moment and then she finally adds, just before walking off on guard duty, "I have little knowledge of this planet. Unless we meet up with a local, I think returning to our former base may be our only option."


[roll0]

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Damian has been very quiet the last couple of days, not speaking with anybody unless they started a conversation with him. He helps finding sustenance in the wilderness and treating injuries, but right now he acts more like a droid then a human.

As the conversation turns to their destination, Damian approches the others and listens.

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Dra Ven spends the next few days in deep contemplation of their options. Weiging each one against his rather stern logic, he spends more time musing with himself than actually communicating with the rest of his new found companions.

However, the little human female by the name of Sel has taken a shine to him. Beyond that, for some reason unknowable even to himself, he somehow feels obligated to her. As if that moment he jumped in front of her and made the realization that he would take a blaster bolt to the chest for someone he barely knew might have awakened something he has yet to understand.

As the conversation turns towards ideas and hopes of escape or revenge on the imperials, he can't help but identify with Joorn. "We need to head towards the nearest settlement and see if we can find a sympathizer or other way off planet. The handful of us alone can't take this on. We need cover or escape, and a city can do one, the other, or both."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara nods and says, "Indeed that is more desirable than what would seem to be an inevitable battle, but the question remains.. do you have knowledge of the planet or of the location of the nearest settlement? Without such, we might wander through the wilderness for weeks."

[Graybacca]

((you know if any of you want to do a knowledge check to see what know about the planet and if venom gives me a use computer check on is datapad he might have something, and also i need a perception check.))

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara tries to recall what she knows about the planet while looking around on guard duty.

Rolls :

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Venom]

Karloth

Hmm, oh so do I miss ,Selia is it. Turning his attention away from his datapad for a few brief seconds. I know it's an Imperial Star Destoyer, and the compliment they usually carry, save for special missions. I was just wondering which ship it actually is, and possibly the captain. If I knew that I could give everyone here a better idea of what to expect from the man. Is he a base coward when faced with the slightest bit of opposition, or is he a blood thirsty killer that would sacrifice his ship to get us rebels? Sliding the disks in and out of his datapad he searches deeper for answers. I just hope what little data I was able to recover can help.

Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4033904&postcount=109) are my rolls. I'll edit this post with a bit of roleplay later when I'm not rushed for time.

[roll0]

[Quixotico]

Let's head toward the nearest settlement, but we'd best have a good story when a handful of armed strangers emerge from nowhere.

[Venom]

Karloth

Hmmm, I don't know about that my green friend. If I were trying to capture any survivors I'd have have the nearest settlement swarming with troopers. He pauses briefly, But that's just me.

[Graybacca]

Feeling empowered by the previous attack, Jesara continues to fire the rifle at the leaping snow tigers.



Shoot the same tiger. Not sure which one it is. It should have 7 hp left..

[roll0]

[pinkbunny]

Selia winces as the impeccably dressed man catches the brunt of the tiger's pounce. She fires at the tiger looming over him, hoping to kill it before it can make sure he's dead.

Attack: [roll0]

Lyn charges up her blade and charges the uninjured tiger.

[roll0]+2 if I can charge

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

As Dra Ven watches a the tigers attack around him, he makes a split second decision. Moving in closer to the tiger that hasa ravaged the dapper lad. Getting as close as needed, he aims down the length of his barrel. Taking a deep breath, Dra Ven lets it out slowly and as his lungs empty, he squeezes the trigger with purpose. "Beast- your hide will make a GREAT blanket!"

Attacking the Tiger that attacked Chadin
Attack: [roll0] (+6 base attack, +1 Point Blank Shot, Precise shot = no firing into melee)
Damage: [roll1] (+1 damage for Point Blank Shot)

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Cursing their luck, or lack there of, Damian seeks to finish one of the tigers that seems to be the most wounded.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Venom]

Karloth

Wielding his pistol wildly at any of the remaining beasts he squeezes off a shot.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Graybacca]

Although you are all some what frazzled by the swiftness of the Tigers attack, though shear luck or the force, you manage to finish off the tigers before there able to regroup and renew there attack.


(( OK you guys have a chose to make, A temp to save Chadin or let him die since we have not heard a word from Tichrondrius, or he could spend a force point to save himself))

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

With the tigers gones, Jesara relaxes and slings he new rifle. Looking around she realizes how much of the battle she missed when she was focused on the tiger. She makes her way around the group tending to the wounded, including Chadin.


[roll0] - Joorn
[roll1] - Chadin
[roll2] - Anyone else?

[Quixotico]

Cheelo

Cheelo scans the forest, watching for any sign of danger while Jesara looks over Chadin and Joorn, watching for any nasty surprises that may come. "These predators, are they the most challenging hunt this planet has, or are there things more dangerous?" he asks with the slightest hint of hesitation in his voice.

(( [roll0]
If the result is less than 18, I'll reroll using Heightened Awareness.
[roll1] ))

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Damian looked around and asked "is anyone hurt?".
He quickly spots Chadin, lying seriously wounded on the ground , and runs over to him.
He quickly unpacks his med-pac and tries to save the man's life.

[roll0]

[pinkbunny]

Sel whispers "Ow" and slips foreward availing herself to those treating Chadin to hold any tools or apparatus needed.

[Sayn]

Joorn

Joorn keeps still while letting one of the others treat him, while keeping an eye out for tigers. Or worse.

Perception: [roll0]

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

As she works on the injured, her sideways looking eyes focus on Cheelo and she says calmly, "I've heard there are several dangerous predators native to the planet. Those tigers are just one of them."

As she wraps up her bandaging, she adds, "A show of force should frighten away most beasts, but it is apt to attract the imperial troops."

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Pulling out his vibroblade, Dra Ven starts carving at one of the tigers. Working quickly, he makes several jagged cuts and removes all four paws and several large patches of fur. "I told you you'd make a nice blanket- but adornments for my new armour will be suitable."

OOC: if there is enough time, and you'd deem that he had enough skill, he'd attempt to skin a second tiger as a whole blanket length of fur.

[Graybacca]

Cheelo and Joorn scans the area but don't see any future danger to the group at this time


Jesara is able to quickly treat Joorn and heal all his woulds. (Joorn is now back at full HP)


Damian and Jesara then set to work on Chadin with help form Sel, it take over an hour and half to repair the damage done to him, from the bite at the base of his neck, and the deep laceration from the tigers claw, and the four to six broken ribs. after hes been stabilized Chadin remains unconscious for at least the next the four hours.


In the mean time Dra Ven Skins the two Tigers. (he also probably has time to skin a third and a fourth or just the the third one and cook one for a hot meal)

[pinkbunny]

Sel whipes her bloody hands off on the foliage, then notices Dra Ven's grisly work and wrinkles her nose. "Is that completely necessary?" she says, eyeing the paws.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo

Without taking his eyes from watching the surrounding forests, Cheelo half-mutters, "He prevailed in the Hunt. It's his right."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The Mon Calamari looks at Dra Ven and Cheelo and says, "It may be his right, but if he intents to take those bloody hides with him, he will be giving away our position. Soon enough the scent of death will emanate from the hides. That will attract more animals. Animals which we may not prevail over." She pauses and then adds, "Perhaps worse than that, if the Empire suspects we are out here, they may attempt to utilize animals to track us down."

She looks at the corpses, and adds, "I would have thought that the rest of you would like to recover a day or two food supply from these fallen beasts. Such things do not sit well in my stomach."

[pinkbunny]

"That, and it's gross." She uses a little water from her canteen to get the last of the blood off her hands. The time in the wilds has actually made her cleaner, and she now only smells mildly of sweat instead of the stronger industrial odor she had at first. Her hair is still hopelessly tangled, looking as if it would take shaving to get all the oil and grime out of it.

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Piling the hides, Dra Ven starts dismembering one of the tigers and slicing it into steaks."There is a method ot my madness, I assure you. These furs can very well be useful in the long run. If someone would like to start a fire, we can get a decent meal out of this, as well as a few days rations."

"Also- if the Empire decides to track us at all, it woul be through the small army of probe droids waiting in orbit. I am much less worried about them coming down with a pack of hounds."

[pinkbunny]

Sel seems fascinated by the macabre display of slicing the tiger, "People eat that?" she expresses incredulously.

[Sayn]

Joorn

Joorn grins a little at Sel.
People will eat almost anything to stay alive.

[pinkbunny]

"But food comes in bars! I've never seen anything like that."

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

"Before food came in bars and people lived in glass towers that reached to the sky, we lived and died by what we could fend off of the land,

"Sadly the Empire looks down on that kind of living, and those species that still find it to be a preferable way of life."

Laying out the carved meat on a piece of fur, he leaves it to be cooked and takes a look around for the nearest body of water while staying within shouting distance.

- if there is a body of water within a short distance (no more than a 5-10 minute walk) he will take the skins to the water, scrape off whatever is left on them in terms of meat, and wash them clean.

- if there is no water nearby, he will return to the camp and do the same work sans water, tossing the detrius of his skinning into the fire.

- he never holsters his weapon, keeping a good look out for anything.
If needed: Perception: [roll0]

[pinkbunny]

"I haven't lived in any glass towers, but everything I've eaten has come from a factory somewhere. I never really thought about where it came from before that." The gears turning in her mind are almost visible behind her eyes as this new information clicks into place. "I'd guessed it was mined or something, like glitterstim." she pauses, pondering, "Does that mean you eat plants too? Some parts of some rations look kinda like bits of plants." Her curiosity immediately overcomes disgust and she follows closely behind Dra Ven, examining the meat and his work closely.

[Graybacca]

There's a stream about 8 meters away.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The Mon Calamari snorts in disgust at the sights. Not one to lead, she allows the other to do as they wish. Tiger doesn't seem much like fish food, so she avoids consuming too much for fear of what it might do to her digestive system. The force is powerful, but still, one must eat.

[Sayn]

Joorn

Having no problem with eating meat, or plants for that matter, Joorn helps cook the tiger-beefs.

We need to keep up our strength, should we encounter imperials in the settlement, and why waste food when it literally jumped into our arms?

[Quixotico]

"Technically, I think it jumped at our throats. But food is food." Cheelo shrugs and helps as he can with the cooking. "I assume we are making camp while we recover and prepare?"

[Venom]

Karloth

Watching the spectacle of the scouts skinning the tigers and slicing them into manageable sized bits to cook later he almost starts to feel queasy. I think I have to second Sels sentiments earlier. I've never thought of where my foodbars came from, but I guess since we're fresh out of those I'll eat my fair share of this bounty, he says while trying not to look at the tiger carcases. When we're ready to find a settlement I came across a map of Edan in my datapad. I think that should help us find our way a little easier.

[pinkbunny]

"Do you eat it like that? It's a bit... bloody..."

[Quixotico]

"Well, you can... But it's common to cook it, first."

[pinkbunny]

"Oh, that explains it. This actually explains a lot."

[Quixotico]

Cheelo's ears shift to the sides slightly and he moves his head slowly forward and down, as if examining Sel closer; a common rodian expression of puzzlement. "You've honestly never explored the wilds? Hunted and known what it is to be victorious? Have you never experienced the Hunt?" Cheelo's expression brightens. "Well, aren't you in luck! It's a whole new experience, no, a whole new life! You'll never know another thrill like the Hunt, and you'll wonder what your life was before it. And you've got me to show you how it's done! Karloth, you too! You'll be warriors in no time!"

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara listens in to Cheelo's conversation, but keeps her thoughts to herself. Pah. Exploration. Hunting. Thrills. A jedi craves not these things. Warriors? Why would they want to be warriors? Wars do not make one great.

Jesara tries not to impose her will upon others and simply sits and mediates, listening to the forest and its sounds.

[roll0]

[pinkbunny]

"The wilds on Kessel don't have trees, or much oxygen. And the few hunts I've been in have been on the- uh, recieving end." She muses, "And my goal isn't to become a warrior anyway. I want a ship, though, at this rate, I'll prolly have to steal one." she shrugs, "Unless one of you knows where I could find a freighter for a couple hundred credits? Help fulfill a sweet little girl's dream?" She laughs, though it's easy to detect a twinge of bitterness in her voice.

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Even though they had allready done everything they could for Joorn, Damian kept his place by his side. Damian is clearly concerned, but doesn't remark on it.

When Cheelo begins to descripe how the hunt feels like, Damian looks up slightly smiling.
"Yeah, I remember what it was like to hunt. It gave you quite a thrill.
But I never liked the part where you killed your game" he says with a shrug.
"And as you can see, I'm better at saving lives then I am at wielding a blaster".

[Quixotico]

"Ah, but the Hunt can extend into space! That's what I'm trying to do. I'm going to prove that dogfighting in starfighters is as true to the Hunt as any ghest-slay. If we can get us a ship, I'll show you what I can really do!" Cheelo grins. (for a Rodian) "Last I heard there were some Imperials taking over this planet. I'm sure one of them has a shiny starship we could borrow." He turns to Damian. "Ah, yes. It is quite sad when the Hunt has to end, isn't it? But, such are things. You did well, friend. You did very well."

[Sayn]

Joorn

Joorn smiles at Cheelo's passion for hunting.

Hunting is indeed thrilling. Though, I prefer it when I'm hundreds of yards away, looking at an imperial through my scope, before shooting him in the head. Now that's hunting.

His hand unconsciously reach out and touches his rifle.

[Venom]

Karloth

Warriors? Not for me thanks. But don't mistake my lack of proficiency with weapons as a lack of knowledge of hunting. It's just that my prey is all trapped inside computers, and my weapons are my brains, slicers kit, datapad, and computers. He says still looking away from the bloody meat, and down towards his datapad again.

[roll0] Trying to discern our exact location on the map

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

As the talk of hunting continues to flood her senses, Jesara becomes more and more nervous. Mon Calamari are obviously prey, not predators, as evidenced from the position of their eyes. Not only was hunting not in her instinct, it was against her teachings.

With a sigh, she tries to resume her focus on meditation.

[Graybacca]

It is almost noon by the time you finish cooking all the stake you estimate you have at least three to four days of food be for it starts to spoil. Chadin is up and about, there is still plenty of light left to move on and with the new information that Karloth has found you just have to pick a direction to go in. Jesara while meditating hears for just a moment far off in the distance the unmistakable sound of a speeder bike engine.

[pinkbunny]

"Am I the only one of us who'll have something productive to do after the war?" she smiles, "I don't think they're overly fond of shooting people in the head when it's peaceful."

She tries the steaks, delighted by the new flavors and textures, though she voices the opinion that "It's a little hard to chew."

[Quixotico]

Cheelo laughs. "When has the galaxy ever been at peace?"

[pinkbunny]

"I prefer not to shoot people. I shoot when I have to, but it's not what I love. I love my machines and my ships and my hyperdrives. I tinker, I may mess with a blaster, but it's really for the love of the blaster, not what it does. I'm with the rebellion out of loyalty, and because when this is over, I can make the galaxy a better place, not by removing bad people from it, but by adding good things to it.
"The ship's just what I want for myself. A ship is freedom. A ship is the ability to travel where you will, to make your own way. Something of my own, that I can play with the bits of however I want, not to someone's specifications. I've never been able to do that, I've never had much of any of those things." She smiles and sighs a little as she pours heart out. She reaches out to warm her hands at the fire, instinctively comforted by the crackling warmth projecting it's glow through her fingers onto her cheeks. "I guess we all need a dream."

[Sayn]

Joorn

I have something of a grudge against the Empire, but that's about the only reason that I'm with this rebellion. After the war, if I'm still alive, I'll probably turn to bounty hunting or something like that.

After staring into the fire for a few moments, he also adds:

It's about time to leave, don't you think? Let's just go with the closest settlement from here. We don't have the time to be picky.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

When as there been peace? Someone needs more schooling. The Jedi have been the guardians of peace in the galaxy for thousands of years.

Jesara stands up smoothly and approaches the war party and holds up a hand, which hopefully silences the discussion long enough for Jesara to say, "I hear a speeder bike nearby. We should take cover." Jesara glances at the cooking fire and then up in the air at the smoke trail and adds, "Your roast tiger meal may have given away our position to the Imperials."

Jesara moves over and grabs her rifle, then takes cover behind a large tree, listening for further speeder bike sounds.

[roll0]

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Rolling the skins away, Dra Ven comes back from the stream. "We should eat and get a move on," turning to Karloth, "do we have any idea how close it is to the nearest settlement? If at all possible, we need to get a move on as soon as Joorn feels he's ready to move."

[Graybacca]

As Jesara listens for the speeder bike sounds, she hears that it is very far in the distance the engine sounds fade in and out as it move in most likely a grid pattern.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo strains to listen.

(( [roll0] if result is less than 20, then reroll.
[roll1] ))

"Hey, you think we could, you know, borrow some speeders?" Cheelo waggles his blaster carbine skyward, as if his meaning wasn't clear enough.

[pinkbunny]

"If there aren't enough for all of us, they'll probably know exactly where we are."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara twists head big head around listening to the surrounding and says, "It sounds like the speeders are going back and forth along predictable routes. Probably a search grid. I doubt they are searching with a large enough force that we will all be able to ride."

We should move away from this area before they find us.

[Venom]

Karloth

Well looking at the map it seems the only viable option is a settlement to the west and just a bit north of our position. However it's an imperial stronghold, those of us that aren't human are going to be too easy to spot. Perhaps if we make it there in the darkest part of the night we might have a chance to all sneak in, but that's a long shot. Every other city is over one thousand kilometers away, we wouldn't be able to make that with Chadin in his current condition and those blasted tigers, or worse, out there. He says with a sigh. Looks like we're going to have to walk into their trap to get some speeders or possibly a shuttle.

[Sayn]

Joorn

We might be able to set up an ambush. If we're lucky, there's enough speeders to go around. Might be that we'll have to sit two and two on em, but at least the travelling will be quicker. At least we can't run from them, since they're much quicker than we could ever hope to be.

He swings his rifle into his hands.

So, how about it? His smile almost looks cruel.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo turns to Joorn. "You had me at 'ambush'."

[Graybacca]

((Guys you DO NOT know where any of the Imperial base are at ALL you Know is where the larger cities are the closes one is about 14 days walk (Fortuna City) and in that last post i said Chadin was up and about and moving good to walk with some help))

[pinkbunny]

(OOC: I think he meant that it's likely to be an imperial stronghold at the time.)

"If we chose to ambush the searchers, we're gambling on there being enough to carry us. If we choose that route, we have to take them down quick, hopefully while they're stopped and not going headlong through the trees. We take them out before they can call for help, then we need to get the bike comms disabled too, so they can't track us."

[Quixotico]

"Well that's easy! We just have to give them a reason to stop. We'd just have to hide and wait." Cheelo looks around, his gaze stopping on the tigers. "You think some skinned tigers hung up to dry is enough reason to stop?"

[Sayn]

Joorn

Sounds like reason enough to stop to me, if only to check it out. We could hide in the trees or in the undergrowth. And then, catch them completely of guard. We should be able to take em down without a single shot fired from their side.

He says this while tinkering with his rifle, checking ammo and the scope and so on.

[pinkbunny]

"It has to be something intresting enough to get them to stop, but routine enough they won't call it in. If we know where they're going based on the grid, they'd probably slow down enough that we don't damage the speeders for some fallen logs."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The Mon Calamari stands stunned for a while as everyone discusses going out of their way to attack the Imperials. Finally she can't take it any more and marches over and says, "I fail to see how attacking this patrol leads to our escape from the planet. It just serves to inform the Imperials of our exact location. It feels as if your anger and desires for revenge is clouding your judgement."

[Quixotico]

"What?" Cheelo looks dumbfounded.

"The longer we're exposed, the more likely it is we'll be set upon by the Empire. Walking will take us almost three weeks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dates_in_Star_Wars#Time_measurement_in_the_Star_Wa rs_galaxy) to get to a city. With some speeder bikes, the same trip will take less than a day. Gfersh! Even if there's less than enough speeder bikes to carry us all at once, we'd still be faster to travel back and forth by speeder bike, ferrying ourselves with a few pilots. I'm not excited to be dying anytime soon but, as I see it, us setting upon a scouting team on our terms is a lot safer than strolling through the forest with an army hovering over our heads, potentially striking at any time during our several week trip. That's fighting on their terms."

Cheelo throws his arms up. "The less time we spend out here, in the open, the safer we are. The more time we spend on this planet, the greater the chances we'll be caught or killed. This isn't about killing some Imperials, though I shouldn't have to remind you they're here to kill us. It's about staying safe. A quick target is harder to hit, harder to track, harder to hunt. We're being hunted right now! Don't forget that."

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Sitting quietly while the group discusses their options, Dra Ven's typical dark logic sits and starts to grind away. Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, which is cued by a loud hissing and spray of vapor from his breath mask, Dra Ven stands up. "Logically, we need a vehical. There's no other way about it. The closest settlement is over two weeks away, which in that time the Imperials will find us. There is no doubt. There are 10,000 soldiers- just soldiers- waiting to come down here and take care of what they started with that bombardment. So without getting some way to get to some kind of urban cover quickly, we're dead. Period.

"So it leaves us two options. We return to the base, ready to have a firefight with whatever forces the imperials have left behind- an option that would no doubt be fun, but dangerous. Second is we ambush the speeders and get someplace quick.

"Either way, there is a decision to be made, and made quickly."

[Sayn]

Joorn

Perhaps it would be quicker if we just held a quick vote. Either you're for the ambush or you're not. Since it was my idea to begin with, I think you already know my vote.

He looks briefly at all of his companions.

After this is done, we might want to choose a leader as well. Quick decisions might be the difference between life or death.

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Without hesitation, Dra Ven nods to Joorn,"I agree. The ambush is the right choice as far as my eyes can see. We have opportunity and suprise on our side."

[Quixotico]

"I believe it's obvious I'm in favor of an ambush. Also, yes, if we're going to work together, we should elect a leader, but after we deal with this."

[Venom]

((OOC: Ok, my fault for the imperial stronghold bit.:smallredface: I'd like to thank everyone for ignoring that part :smallsmile:))

Karloth

Speaking to the group, I too wish for the non violent path, he says looking to the Mon Calamari, But unfortunately I must agree with the hunters here. Speed is of the essence. We can't let the imperials set up an ambush in the cities, and the shorter amount of time we give them, the less time they'll have of doing so. Walking isn't an option here. I wouldn't walk the thousand kilometers on Coruscant, let alone a wild planet such as this. We need speeders.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara's fish like eye narrows it's focus and he says, "Patience. What does it matter if it takes 2 or 3 weeks? Any large settlement is likely to have already attracted the attention of the imperials and thus be fortified. Moving to such a place would not seem to be safer than wandering the wilds."

The Mon Calamari adjusts her stance and steps back, not used to such attention, and says, "I do not doubt that we could easily kill the Imperial patrol. What I doubt is whether such an action would further our long term goals. As soon as the patrol failed to check in, the commanders would know exactly where we are and would send reinforcements. We might as well just send up flares and wait for them."

The Mon Calamari twists her head around as she listens to the speeder search and she adds, "Even if we managed to all escape the area on the speeders, their power signature would act like a homing beacon." She looks to Dra Ven and says, "Only extremists think there are two choices. Infinite choices exist. One must just quiet their mind to begin to see them. Attack should always be the last option considered, not the first and definately not the only option."

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Arching his eyebrow at Jesara, Dra Ven shakes his head, "Unfortunately Jesara, we lack the luxuries of time and consideration of infinate options," pointing in the direction of the patrol, "There is an Imperial ARMY coming after us! As far as I could tell as we left the station, we were it. There were no other survivors, and we took out their first on the scene. They are coming after us. It may only be a matter of time before they send down more than just speeders and Stormtrooper patrols- before we see Walkers, Imperial installations, and TIE runs looking for us. We need to get off planet as quickly as possible, and sadly- that does leave us with few options."

Edging closer to Sel as he can hear the speeders getting closer, he cradles his weapon in his arms, "So unless you have something more useful than more questions- we need to decide on a plan of action NOW. We don't have to kill the speeder crews, all of us have weapons capable of stun. But we need to do something soon."

[Sayn]

Joorn

Turning to look at Jesara, he calmly says Looks like we're setting up an ambush. You're free to run, hide or help us. I care little what happends to you should you choose to leave our company.

He looks at the ones who already agreed with him on the ambush.

Time to get this done. Let's hang up those skins, and maybe scatter some gear that might indicate that there's rebels in the area.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo

"Dra Ven brings up an excellent point; what if we are the only survivors? The issue of time becomes important well beyond our own lives. We owe it to the Alliance to report what happened here. Information is your first and foremost tool in any struggle."

Scratching his head, Cheelo turns to Joorn. "Now, enough with that. We're on the same side here! We might have different views, but we are allies. We look out for each other, even in disagreement."

Stopping, he turns his free hand palm up and calms his voice. "We have little time. Let's deal with the problem at hand, and it is a problem one way or another. Joorn, are you sure we should put out gear? We don't want them reporting in, just stopping for a bit."

[Sayn]

Joorn

They might not stop at all, if it only looks like a regular hunting party's camp. But sure, them reporting would be bad.

If he's sorry for his earlier behaviour, it doesn't show on his face at all.

[pinkbunny]

"They're likely to report a camp, but if we can get them before they do, we're ok..." she shugs "they'd need very good sensors down here to spot us with all their patrols around, they'd need to fly things over us to do that, giving us time to power down the bikes and hide."

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Shooting a look at Joorn for his statements, Dra Ven returns to silence and gets to work. Putting some grunt into it, he pulls all of the corpses one next to the other next to the fire pit and sticks his virbroblade into the chest of one of them.

"The only obvious equipment that I have that I am not wearing is the pieces of stormtrooper armour in my pack. Sadly- I doubt that laying that about the site would be the best idea."

[eex]

Lyn Meii

Lyn finally speaks after having stayed quiet, and clearly deep in thought, for hours.
"Dra Ven, you think to highly of us. What reason does the Imperials have looking for us?" She throws her head back to get the tentacles away from her face. "The fact that this place isn't crawling with Imps is enough to prove that we do not in fact have an army after us, I'd bet all my credits that they don't even know we exist."

[Quixotico]

Cheelo begins helping Dra Ven. "Yes, but the Imperials think very little of us. Tell me, does a exterminator on Coruscant know the name of each duracrete worm he kills? No, he doesn't even think of them having names or identities. They are pests and are to be eradicated. To the Empire, we are worms."

[eex]

Lyn Meii

Lyn Sighs.
"Does an exterminator on Corusant try to kill worms he does not know exist?"
She mimics Cheelos voice "To the empire we do not exist."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

The Mon Calamari gurgles a bit in disagreement and says, "The local commander will probably wonder who killed that first group of troops and made off with their gear. I agree that we are likely, not their top priority, but I'm feel confident that they know some rebels remain alive." After a pause, she says, "Speaking of their gear, their utility belts have cable dispensers."

Jesara pauses again and addss, "As a compromise to the stay and hide versus ambush discussion, we could stay here and tie lengths of cable between all these trees. If the speeders come nearby, the cable will knock them off their speeders, relatively unharmed, but certainly in no condition to resist us."

Jesara then motions to the ample undergrowth and says, "We would simply need to wait in the bushes. If they try to enter the camp, we have them. If they pass us by, well, then it is the will of the force."

[Sayn]

Joorn

The cable idea isn't bad, but there is a problem with it. The speeders will most likely crash after their pilots are knocked off of them. Thus, it would actually be better to simply hide rather than to go with that plan.

[pinkbunny]

"We need the speeders undamaged. I can fix one if it's just a little bumped, but going at speed through the trees is likely to leave one useless after a crash."

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

"I don't think too highly of us- I've simply seen how the Imperials operate in my own experiance. Once they know of the most meager threat or nusance, they go after it. The more elusive the target, the more passionate the hunt. We might not have the whole army after us right now, but sooner or later- especially with there being a lightsaber wielding companion among us- they will be."

"As far as incapacitating the speeder crews, I do believe all of us have weapons capable of Stun- we won't kill anyone, and it'll be safer than allowing the speeders to run off on their own without drivers."

[Quixotico]

"Fine, excellent! It's a plan." Cheelo says, obviously getting anxious about the dwindling time. "The cable is a good idea, but we're after those speeders intact. Nevertheless, let's set some up in the direction away from which they'll be coming, in case they run. Otherwise, everyone set your blasters to stun," he pauses to click his carbine over to stun, "and we'll knock them out. Unless anyone has any major objections or ideas, we'd best get ready." He continues making the tigers interesting.

[Sayn]

Joorn

After switching his rifle to stun, he looks around.

Best find a place to hide then... Luckily, forests provide a lot of cover.



((I'll just use Perception to find a good hiding spot, where I can safely aim at the troopers when they arrive.

[roll0]))

[pinkbunny]

Sel nods and goes to ground in the forest.

Take 20 on hide, for 29.

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Jesara sighs. Some life forms must obviously learn from failure. Let us just hope they live to learn.

As she ponders the plan she fumbles with her new blaster to see if she can figure out how to make it go on stun. As she deals with it, she accidentally fires her blaster. Fortunately it was pointed skyward. Ah, but it was a stun shot, so all is well.

If we stun these speeder pilots, aren't the speeders then without a pilot? How is that different from just using the rope? I guess, the difference is... boys with toys. These guys just want to be able to use their guns.

Jesara sighs again, oblivious to any stares she is getting about the random shot she just fired, and listens to try and figure out which direction the speeders will finally approach from.

[roll0]

[Quixotico]

Hearing the stun shot, Cheelo cringes for a second, but doesn't bother looking back to see who fired. Nobody's yelling and it was a stun shot. Everything's fine. After he's adequately satisfied with the display, Cheelo finds suitable cover with a view of the "camp." Double checking the stun setting, he makes certain he's well hidden.

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Not willing to participate in the argument, Damian stands and thinks about the last couple of days of his life. Sure, he didn't like to kill people, not even animals, but these were imperials. They had taken his family.
They took my family from me, it's only fair if I get revenge...

Looking up as they speak about stun setting, he mumbles something about imperials not deserving stun. He takes his rifle and stares at it for a long moment, then he flips the setting to stun.

I won't kill. Not for revenge, and certainly not for a couple of bikes...

((Take 20 on stealth for a total of 28))

Sliding his weapon to stun, Dra Ven moves into the bushes and settles in to wait.

Lyn still has her blaster strapped on her back as she hides herself. She grabs the lightsaber and stays ready.
"I am far from proficient with rifles, I'll just keep out of the way and help with lethal force if that would be required."

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Fully cognizant that she stands no chance of hiding, she at least stands aside in the bushes with her rifle. If I don't even try, I'll never hear the end of it. I wonder how far the stun bolt goes? It didn't seem to powerful.

Karloth

Turning off his datapad for the moment as he doesn't wanting it to make any noise when the imperials hopefully show, he slides it into his pocket. Looking at his blaster he finally finds the switch turning it to the stun setting. Gathering some local flora he plucks them from the ground and proceeds to lay behind a fallen log using the plants as camouflage. I'll just pop out when the shooting starts, he thinks to himself.

For the most part you all find suitable cover, for your ambush but you wind up waiting for nearly and two hours before you see your first Imperial Scout he come in on the right side of the camp and he seem to miss the camp totally. Its another fifteen minutes before the next scout comes though this one come straight though the middle of the camp, he in and out of the camp with in moments but you hear him throttle down the engine and he again approaches the camp at a slower speed.


((OK post your action.

OK just to let you know I'll be away this weekend and will be without a computer, i'll post when i get back.))

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

'Hiding' in the bushes and unfamiliar with such tactics, Jesara waits until she feels the time is right(she holds her action till someone else shoots first). Once the moment is upon her she fires at the trooper. I'd feel much better about this if I was shooting at the speeder instead.

Waiting for the scout to return, Cheelo takes a deep breath. Once the scout is in sight again, he takes careful aim and waits. If the scout dismounts, he'll wait until he's a few steps from the bike. If the scout doesn't dismount within a few seconds or reaches for his comm, Cheelo fires then. I sure hope this works.

The Scout trooper cruise into the center of the camp and comes to a stop, with out getting off the bike he swings his body around this way and that looking around the area, then you hear him say, TK-228 to base, he must of used the tongue switch to activate his helmet comm, Sir i have what seems to be a hunters camp in grid 221-Alpha requesting assistance to search the area. Roger that.Once he off the comm Cheelo fire and Mir seconds later so dose Jesara both shot hit him square in the upper body knocking him senseless he falls to the ground.

Jesara

Jesara stands up in the bushes and says, mostly to herself, and with a fair amount of sarcasm, "Okay, lets all pile onto the speeder and get out of here."

She then moves over and takes the rifle, grenades, and utility belt from the trooper and then heads back to the bushes.

[Quixotico]

Cheelo makes a raspberry sound with his snout, clearly something of irritation. "Watch yourself. He called for reinforcements; more bikes are on the way." Peeking his head up and putting a hand to his ear stalk, he listens intently for the sound of anything approaching.

(( [roll0] and if the result is less than 18, reroll:
[roll1] ))

"More of them, but they don't know there's hostiles... someone get in some of our salvaged armor, quick! I'm too short, but, if we're lucky, we can get all the bikes we need."

[Graybacca]

Cheelo hears the sound of several engines approaching and one of them sounds bigger then a speeder bike.

[Quixotico]

"Aww poodoo... Jesara, don't worry about seating. We've got company inbound, and it ain't just speeders!" Cheelo clicks his blaster carbine over to the lethal setting. "I think we're past the stun setting!" Cheelo ducks down again, hoping for any element of surprise he can get.

(( ooc: I doubt there's time to take 20 on hide again. I didn't move from my spot, but I'll roll again incase. [roll0]
And I know it's coming. [roll1] ))

[Sayn]

Joorn

Quietly, Joorn flips his rifle back to the lethal setting. This'll be interesting... he mumbles to himself.

Might as well: Initiative [roll0]

[pinkbunny]

Sel sighs as noone even considers her, then moves the speeder and scout out of the action, going over to Jesara and asking, "Any decent explosives in the stuff you've been grabbing?"

[lawful_evil]

Jesara

Dagnabit, how did she see me? Jesara tries to stay hidden in the bush and whispers, "Nothing special, just their standard issue grenade. If you are a better throw than me you are welcome to it." She rolls the grenade from the trooper(assuming he had his standard issue one), out of the bush to the feet of Sel.

Hearing the direction to go lethal, Jesara fumbles with the blaster settings and hopes it is set to the correct setting.

Karloth

Laying there behind the log Karloth was sound asleep as laying in one spot for more than two hours had gotten past the point of boredom, but perks up once he hears the sound of speeders pass through the camp. Crawling to the end of the fallen log he peeks his head around to try and get a better look at what's happening in the camp.

[Derwood]

Dra Ven

Dra Ven sits in wait while the others go about the initial business. Hearing the noise of multiple speeders inbound, he shakes his head, I knew this was the way it would go... Switching his blaster from stun to the standard settings, he lets out a long hissing breath. "If you have a moral disagreement with the use of leathal means- you are more than welcome to keep it to stun."

Init: [roll0]

[Cazziuz]

Damian

Keeping his position, and not flipping the setting to lethal, Damian waits for the speeders to get into line of sight.

[Graybacca]

With in five minutes the imperial backup arrive it 0ne four passenger land speeder, with 3 scout trooper and an imperial officer, a long with five scout troopers on bikes. Upon getting out of the speeder the imperial officer sees the downed trooper, he point to two biker scout and say, You two get back to base camp and see if they've gotten that comm array repaired yet and report to Havoc that we may have found some of the escaped rebels, those two trooper get on there bike and head of toward the northeast. to the other trooper the officer says, the rest of you spreed out.

Jesara

Seeing the enemy start to disperse, Jesara acts before they spread out too much, tossing a grenade, hopeful she can disable the officer and confuse the unit. For the tadpoles!

Cheelo

Taking aim at the two scouts sent to report, Cheelo hesitates a split second, worried about priorities. We can't be found, but there's a lot... Before much of a thought on the matter can get through his head, Selia's shot at the one of them prompts him to action. He fires at the other scout.

[roll1], aiming ignores cover.
