"Open it just long enough for them to get sucked out then closed it, and us to get in." He tapped Tera and made sure she was ready to move.

From the outside control panel Chu-Shkar accessed the safety protocols and entered an override. The locks on both doors were released and the atmosphere inside was blown outside in a forceful burst. Caught unready the stormtrooper guards were thrown off their feet and left grabbing for anything to stop their swift exit of the base. One stormtrooper was left flailing and flew passed the Rebels and into the lethal asteroid field.

When the pressure dropped sirens blasted as a base-wide alert was sounded. The life support computer automatically sealed the blast doors nearest to the airlock. When the pressure had equalised the remaining stormtroopers fell to the ground.

OOC Roll Initiative, 20 and higher beat the stormtroopers and can act, the remaining 2 stormtroopers are prone.

12:52, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 16 using 1d20+5.  Initiative .

Rolled a 14.

Tera reacted more quickly than anyone had seen her move in the past, storming past the others to strike at a stormtrooper with her lightsaber.

OOC:
08:51, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 30 using 1d20+10.  initiative.
08:53, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 26 using 1d20+8.  attack.
08:54, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 10 using 2d8+4.  damage.

The two stormtroopers were on the ground as Tera leapt forward and cut one of them down. The other struggled to stand and staggered as they lifted their blaster to defend themselves. The lack of atmosphere was debilitating and the blaster shot went wild.

OOC Everyone can act. The last stormtrooper is -2 on the condition track.

"Can you toss them Chu?" Rynn asked, paying the struggling stormtrooper no mind. He instead moved to the airlock controls and prepared to close them once the other stormtroopers had left the building. Hopefully that would quiet the alarms, though they'd still have to move quickly.

Chu-Shkar stepped in and grabbed the back of one of the still alive Troopers, and pulled him back towards the door in an attempt to throw him out.

15:56, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 26 using 1d20+8.  grapple.

The last stormtrooper was grabbed by Chu-Shkar and hauled towards the airlock. Struggling and gasping for air the stormtrooper managed to push away from the Wookiee but stumbled as he tried to step away from Chu-Shkar.

The alarm continued to screech and lights flashed in the hallway.

OOC Stormtrooper breaks the Grap and is now 4 steps down the condition track, -10 on all actions.

Frustrated that this trooper won't just die easily, Chu-Shkar roars in frustration and tries again.

00:52, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 24 using 1d20+8.  grapple.

Tera sighed, with an expression of sadness on her face as she stuck her lightsaber on the stormtrooper. "Shu-Shkar...well...it's unfortunate, but they know we're here. Is there anything you can do to divert them from here?"

21:09, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 22 using 1d20+8.  attack.
21:09, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 16 using 2d8+4.  damage.

"ACTUALLY, they only know there was a breach in the environmentals. THE airlocks didn't register as open."

Still waiting to find out if I chucked that stormtrooper out the airlock.

Helpless the dying stormtrooper was grabbed by Chu-Shkar and finished off by Tera, the lightsaber piercing the white plastoid armour and extinguishing the life within.

It had been mere seconds since their invasion and the guards were defeated. The alarm siren continued unabated and the airlock doors remained open.

As soon as the trooper was tossed outside, Rynn hit the controls to close the airlock.

The airlock door immediately slammed shut as Rynn hit the controls. The alarm continued and the blast door remained sealed.

Chu-Shkar moved to the control panel and began the sequence to repressurize the area. This would hopefully lift the security door, and end the lockdown. He also said, "GET that last trooper over here, make it look like he died pushing the button to repressurize. HOPEfully it will look like a door malfunction. I'M making a set of maintenance logs showing this airlock was having issues."

Chu-Shkar rolled 12 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 2.  know technology.
rolled 18 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 8.  mechanics.
rolled 18,19 using 1d20+15,1d20+15.  use computer.
I'm throwing together a series of maintenance logs, these should help hide the fact we entered.

Tera helped Rynn move the trooper over to where Chu-shkar suggested, moving his position so it would appear as though he died trying to repressurise the room. She grimaced as she looked at her work "It might buy us a few minutes..."


22:08, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 17 using 1d20+11.  deception.

The last stormtrooper was laid by the airlock by Tera. In the meantime Chu-Shkar accessed the base's computer system but with the alarm raised the Wookiee's attempt was blocked and he was booted from the system.

Tera looked at the others "Let's get moving....quickly. There has to be someone on the way to investigate....and I'd really rather we were not the diversion."

The Rebels were inside the base. The airlock door was in working order, it would open if the Rebels needed to flee. The base was dug out of an asteroid. A rough hewn tunnel led into the base. Halfway along the tunnel to one side was a blast door and another blast door was at the end of the tunnel. The Imperials would be checking the Life Support system and the integrity of the tunnel before they released the blast door controls. Chu-Shkar would have been easily been able to do this himself but he had by some misfortune upset the base computer. The Rebels would need to retreat, hide or get ready to face the Imperials when they came to investigate the tunnel.

WE need to hide. Chu-Shkar said as he searched for a possible hiding place.

Rolled a 27 on perception.

"We should bolt. If we get caught in this airlock, there's no escape but out, and that doesn't get us any closer to our goal. We need get going." Rynn said, looking around at the three of them. He was quite unsure of the delineation of rank now that their squad leader was not with them.

Tera nodded in agreement with Rynn "This avenue of approach seems wasted. We should try another. While we might be able to take on a trooper or two if we start facing squads, we'd be in trouble. Let's try another entrance."

Cutting their losses Rynn and Tera exited the Shantipole base. Through the airlock and onto the surface of the asteroid. There was two other airlocks. One which Lyla and Klyn had gained entry through and another yet explored. There was also two hangar bays.

Message bleeped on the comlink from Klyn "Whatever you did, you attracted some attention: they are sending people toward your position." he warned.

Chu-Shkar looked around found a rough hole in the passage wall or a walk in storage cupboard large enough for the Wookiee to conceal themselves in.

OOC Without a unanimous answer I've gone with the majority as both Rynn and Tera are fleeing. If Chu-Shkar wants to stay roll a Stealth check.

Frustrated at the retreat Chu-Shkar reluctantly fell back with the rest. This is a mistake. He thought.
