Kala continued covering the rear, though her hand was on her hidden lightsaber, in case the inquisitor showed up from the complex. Things would go from bad to worse at that point.

You rolled 10 using 1d20+4 ((6)).(Init)

The overheard comlink communication meant the cat was out of the bag. Speed was primary over subtly. As Narik’s foot touched back on the ground he swung his shoulder and lowered the blaster rifle, letting off a shot a point blank range.

Keeping quiet about the fact that he could hear the Imperial comlink chatter would soon cease to hold any advantage so Narik chose to let it slip. Better that everyone was prepared for what was coming “Inquisitor and apprentice en route” he called out to Xander.

23:31, Today: Narik rolled 11 using 3d8+2 with rolls of 1,2,6. Blaster damage.
23:30, Today: Narik rolled 16 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 8. Rifle vs stormtrooper.

Narik downs his stormtrooper with the rifle blast. The trooper falls to the ground.

OOC: Kala and then the remaining stormtrooper.

The remaining stormtrooper defends himself.

In the distance, Kala sees a pair of figures running into sight in the corridor. They're moving impossibly fast... for mere mortals. Both are human, one a rather plain male in his mid-thirties, trim and fit, with a sleeveless jerkin. The other, an attractive blonde woman, in what might be Jedi garb, except for the unrelieved black of it.

"We've got incoming..." Kala said, as she watched down the hall. She knew that taking on both of them would be suicide, but if she could limit their approach, that would help the others, so she stepped in front of the stairs upward and drew her lightsaber, igniting the blade, and preparing herself.

In two swift motions, Xander slashes with his lightsabers trying to finally take down the stormtrooper. If the enemy falls he turns to head back to where Kala was with the remaining freed prisoners."I'm on it! Hold tight!"

OOC +2 for flanking if applicable (22/25 to hit or 20/23).

22:32, Today: Xander Flynn rolled 20 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 15. Lightsaber Attack 1

Xander drops the second stormtrooper and turns to face Kala's direction.

The stormtroopers both down Narik knew they needed urgent and decisive action. Narik assumed the position of military command, hoping that Xander and the other freed prisoners would respond with compliance.

Narik pulled off his stormtrooper helmet and called over to the driver of the landspeeder “over here. We’re taking a full load and once there aboard get ready for a quick getaway” he then turned to Xander “delay the Inquisitor and send the prisoners out then get out of there” he commanded as he pushed his helmet back on.

Xander nods to Narik but doesn't seem very thrilled with being order but does as he is told. Depending on what occurs, he will bolt to where Kala is, lightsabers drawn and ready for combat and will strike if he is able to.

OOC: Kala's order in initiative is up. Waiting on her action.

Kala stood in the stairway, lightsaber out, in a defensive posture, ready to meet the attacks that were coming.

Using total Defense.

The two figures, the Inquisitor and his apprentice quickly close with Kala. "Put down your weapon, Jedi, and I promise we'll make things quick," the man tells her when they are a few meters away.

"You'll not impede us for long."

A moment later, Xander runs to join her. The two Imperials merely sneer at the Jedi.

"I cannot let you put innocent people in danger." Kala replied, as she tightened her grip on her lightsaber. She was ready to fight until she couldn't fight anymore, so the others had a chance to escape.

The jedi glances at Kala."Run. Get everyone out of here. Go!" Xander yells at her and then, he bolts forwards at the two darksiders. He slashes with one of his sabers at the inquisitor but misses.

OOC Got a 9 to hit. Doh.

"No, We all make it out of here." Kala replied, as she headed foward into combat, intent on supporting the other jedi.

She gripped her lightsaber and strode foward, hoping that the force would be with the two of them. When she got close enough, she swung with her blade, hoping to hit her target.

Xander's lightsaber attack misses the Inquisitor, but Kala's strike does hit.

Through gritted teeth, the Inquisitor says, "At least you're true to form. More guts than brains. It's my pleasure to educate you."

With that, he attacks Kala, who injured him. He has no weapons, but does not act as though he needs them.

When his fist connects with her gut, it feels impossibly hot and flames spread from the impact, igniting her clothing. She falls to the ground.

The apprentice draws a lightsaber and attacks Xander, hitting him solidly.

Gritting his teeth in pain as the apprentices lightsaber slips through his guard, Xander unleashes on the enemy. He swings his sabers fluidly as if they were extensions of his arms. The jedi seems focused on taking down the enemy quickly.

OOC
19:58, Today: Xander Flynn rolled 14 using 2d8+5 with rolls of 7,2. Lightsaber Damage 2-Apprentice

19:56, Today: Xander Flynn rolled 22 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 17. Lightsaber Attack 1-Apprentice.

The force of the blow stunned her, and she could feel the heat from the fire that was now spreading over her outfit. The lightsaber fell out of her hands, clattering to the ground, followed by it's user. The last thing she did before unconsiousness took her was to turn to Xander and weakly said "Run..."

Both of Xander's lightsaber strikes hit the apprentice, leaving her obviously wounded, but she doesn't appear to be any the worse for wear. It doesn't stop her from counterattacking Xander, although she misses.

Meanwhile, with Kala down, the Inquisitor leaves Xander to face his apprentice and moves down the hallway, leaping and twisting in the air to avoid being attacked.

Outside, the former prisoners are trying to crowd into the speeder. Narik sees the Inquisitor come through the loading dock door.


Combat

Inquisitor - Move past Xander, Acrobatics

Apprentice - attack Xander - miss.

Unfortunatly, Xander's luck runs out. He swings twice at the apprentice hoping to hit and take him out but misses as quickly as he strikes."I'm not leaving you behind!" He yells out to Kala, despite her being unconscious.

OOC That sucks.
20:27, Today: Xander Flynn rolled 8 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 3. Lightsaber Attack 2-Apprentice.

Narik oversaw the loading of the landspeeder. His blaster rifle in hand he reacted to the emergence of the Inquisitor from the office building the only way he knew how. However futile it might be Narik shot at the Inquisitor.

For now he was to ensure all the prisoners managed to get aboard the landspeeder. If by then Xander and Kala had not made it out Narik didn’t fancy facing the Inquisitor alone. Would be stand his ground or run?

OOC Covering fire +1 Reflex defence for any of the prisoners that the Inquisitor may try to attack

09:27, Today: Narik rolled 17 using 3d8+2 with rolls of 5,2,8. Opps Blaster damage again.
09:26, Today: Narik rolled 24,2 using d20+8,d6 with rolls of 16,2. Shoot + Force point vs Inquisitor.

Narik's rifle shot hits the Inquisitor, but rather than dealing damage, to his dismay, the Inquisitor seems to have been rejuvenated by the blaster energy.

Part of Narik's goal has been accomplished, though, because all of the Inquisitor's attention is now on him.

A portion of Narik's mind counts that four of the prisoners are loaded. Another few seconds and he can jump in the speeder and escape.

The Inquisitor leaps and rolls to stand in front of Narik and roars in his face, a strange and almost frightening sound, coming from a human throat.

Inside, the apprentice sweeps her blade from low to high in attack which takes Xander off guard, injuring him further.


Combat

Inquisitor - Move to Narik, Swift - ? Standard - ?

Apprentice - Attack Xander - 11 points of damage

Once more, Xander's lightsabers miss the apprentice both times. He grits his teeth, awaiting the unevitable strike upon him and hoping that if it comes-he can block it. The jedi glances towards the direction of where the inquisitor went hoping Narik is having some far better luck then his own.

OOC Roller really really hates me....
11:26, Today: Xander Flynn rolled 7 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 2. Lightsaber Attack 2-Apprentice.
11:26, Today: Xander Flynn rolled 8 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 3. Lightsaber Attack 1-Apprentice.

The reaction of the Inquisitor to the blaster bolt was shocking but not as terrifying as the animalistic scream that the man confronted Narik with. The solider has fought along side Jedi in during the Clone Wars but never faced a Sith as an adversary. Narik guessed his odds of escaping were slim but maybe the prisoners would escape if he tried his hardest.

As the Inquisitor landed in front of him Narik kicked out with his foot attempting to knock down the unarmed but obviously dangerous man.

OOC If Narik gets the chance once the landspeeder is full he'll jump aboard and try to escape the Inquisitor.

The Inquisitor punches Narik, hard, and while Narik feels the incredible heat, his armor protects him.

The Apprentice attacks Xander again, swiping at him with her saber.

The last of the prisoners crowd into the speeder.


Combat
Inquisitor - Hits Narik for 15 dmg

Apprentice - Hits Xander for 11 dmg
