As his comrades fell around him the last trooper standing made a last desperate shot at Klyn, but panicked the blaster bolt flew wide to hit the wall above the engineers head.

OOC Only one trooper left so haven't updated map as should be over now.

Suddenly, pew pew pew, three of the Stormtroopers were downed and the Rebels were on the verge of victory. Yet for Lyla it wasn't over yet; she had one more enemy in mind, overlooked and forgotten. The one who had hurt her the most. She raised her blaster high and fired at the hovering interrogation droid, to avenge herself and stop everyone else from being tormented by it.

'Some of them want to use you.
Some of them want to get used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you.
Some of them want to be abused.'

poor little thing...

He also took notice of Lyla revenge move. Although he understood her feelings, it only did what he was programmed for. Too bad the real culprit got away.

"Tera, check on Rynn!   T3, see if you can find any info about the reinforcements and the best route to a safe ship.  I'm afraid we have to abandon the supply... Too bad we don't have time to bypass the securities on it and make it explode once we are away."

He then checked the troopers weapon to see if they had something better than his current weapon... or anything useful.

He really missed his own weapon...

Getting the hang of things despite the stormtrooper armour the rebels finished off the last trooper and Lyla got her revenge on the interrogation droid. Around the room the fallen Imperials provided them with plenty of blaster pistols and power packs. They also now had more stormtrooper armour. The Imperial troopers worn blast helms and vest along with their uniform and carried separate comlinks. It would be unlikely that any but Tera or Klyn could get away with passing for an Imperial trooper if any wanted to try. Among the many torture devices are plenty of other items which Tera can use to scavenge a couple of medpacs.

OOC If the party decide to try chasing Admiral Grendreef I will consider the encounter ongoing and Lyla can retain her last temporary Force Point for the chase.

Tera rushed to Ryn side to render aid to him, and help him to his feet.

OOC:Bolster Ally on Ryn.

Climbing to her feet, Lyla rushed over to the fallen interrogation droid and gave it an emphatic kick, an explosive, cathartic release of tension and terror. She put a dent in its shell. It made her feel better, a little. But then she reeled, had to lean against the wall, her head spinning, her brain-tails waving from the drugs still in her system. She was resisting their effects, whatever they were, but what would they do later on? She had no time to worry now. She continued humming that damn song, anything to focus her mind.

'Sweet dreams are made of this.
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the worlds,
And the galaxy.
Everybody's looking for something.'

Recovering, she snatched up a spare power pack for her blaster pistol. It was no good her wearing Stormtrooper armour and helmets, not being bright orange and long, thick lekku dangling from her head.

Then she ran to the door Grendreef had disappeared through, bloody fingers working desperately to get it open. 'We gotta get after Grendreef. He wants to destroy the base himself. If we can stop him, get T3 to the Desolator's navigation system and delete the coordinates, we've still got a chance to save it.'

Rynn dazedly sat up from where he lay on the ground. "At least I shot em down... didn't mean to make the whole tunnel collapsed." He said, as he went to rub his head where it was aching, but his hand was blocked by the helmet his was wearing. He fumbled with it for a few minutes before knocking it to the ground. "What the hell's going on?"

He said rolling over to his hands and knees. "Wait... nope, it's coming back to me." He said looking around at the dead bodies on the ground. "I guess we got em.... everyone ok?"

An adequate use of force and anger gets the door Grendreef escaped through torn open. Lyla looked down some steps that lead into a rough tunnel. T3-M8 beeps that the tunnel must lead through the old mines. The droid did not find any other information as the official records have it as disused and off limits. The map of the base has a closed entrance to the mines at the hangar if they could find their way to it. Unfortunately it appears that comlinks are useless in the tunnels due to magnetic interference.

After applying a medpac to the heavily injured Rynn, Tera decided it was time for action. "Let's go....he knows where the rebel base is located and he has our medical supplies!!!" We need to blow up that ship."

While they are working on the door Klyn and the others discuss the next course of action

"He will certainly go to the hangar... should some of us go the other way to try to secure the ship and make an ambush there?  With some luck we might even be able to hold the ship and use its weapon when they arrive..."

"This way might be the only one clear of troopers." Tera suggested.

"I don't suppose someone could take a look at me first? I'm not feeling up to running through the halls just yet." Rynn asked the others.

"Yes... but as a trooper and his droid, we might get past the others... Especially someone skilled with words... or other things..."

Klyn looked worried.

"We don't know if the trooper we killed were able to raise the alarm. And the mine area should prevent our target to send a warning..."

Lyla stared in surprise down the tunnel. 'Who the hell puts a secret passage in a jail cell?' she wondered. It seemed like something of a glaring security flaw... Well, she wasn't about to look a gift bantha in the mouth.

Hearing the talk behind her, Lyla looked back, jaw set with determination. 'Well, I ain't passing as a Stormtrooper. I'm taking the tunnel. And getting that bastard.' she vowed, checked her pistol, then disappeared down the old mine tunnel with a flick of her tails.

She easily spotted Grendreef's footprints in the soft asteroid dirt, and followed them like a lylek on a blood-hunt. When it got dark, her keen Twi'lek eyes pierced the gloom. The hunter would have her prey.


OOC: If I need to track Grendreef's footprints, then Perception 14, rerolled to 29.
08:10, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 14 using 1d20+9. perception.
08:12, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 29 using 1d20+9. reroll.
And I gain another temporary Force Point!

I have Low-Light Vision if it gets dark.

The Admiral must have kept an secret entrance in the Interrogation Chamber for his own amusement. The entrance had now given him a chance to escape. Lyla wasn't going to let the Imperial get away easy though. She raced into the darkness and began to hunt him down.

T3-M8 assisted Tera in healing Rynn who was stable and with a bit of courage would be able to resume his battle against the Empire. Klyn had a chance to grab a couple of glow rods.

In the tunnels as Lyla left the Interrogation Chamber behind it soon became dark. Her eyes were able to see well in the dark but in total darkness she would be as blind as the others. As the tunnel became a crossroads Lyla saw that Grendreef had taken the right turn. She began to follow it but as the light behind began to fade she would be unable to follow the trail further without a light source.

OOC Rolled on behalf of T3-M8 and Tera for healing on Rynn, he's now on 10 hit points. If Rynn uses his Second Wind he'll be back on full health.

I'm assuming Klyn, Tera and Rynn remain in their stormtrooper disguises until I'm told otherwise.

Tera tended to Rynn as best as she could while she quickly removed the stormtrooper armour, replacing it with the imperial trooper uniform. The stormtrooper armour was so bulky as to be unusable. Tera felt much better after changing and from the looks of things Ryn was doing much better too. "Welcome back, Ryn. We need to be moving quickly."

WIth Rynn's wound taken care of, Klyn rushed to follow Lyla, carrying one of the glow rod.

Hopefully the others would either follow shortly or try the other path.  Or maybe both.

"Lyla! Wait for me!" he said catching up with her as she reduced her speed because of the lack of light.  Apparently the general had some light on him or maybe he knew the path by heart.

With the light from glow rods Lyla and Klyn were able to move much faster. As the mine tunnel bent and turned Lyla keenly following the tracks left by the big man that was Admiral Grendreef as he rushed to escaped. They navigated two crossroads before a little confused Lyla pulled them to a halt. Tracks led both left and right? There had to be a reason but the scout would have to puzzle it out or trust to luck and follow one.

Beginning to grope her way down the tunnels as the light gave out, Lyla was debating whether to go back and hope the others could come up with a light source, or to just press on into the dark and trust to her ears and instincts. After all, she did some of her best work in the dark. She was on the verge of going on when Klyn came hurrying and hollering down the tunnel behind her. She slowed so he could catch up, bringing a glow rod with him. 'Glad you came. Good idea.' she said of the glow rod, then resumed her hunt.

She stopped at the next crossroads and, crouching, examined the prints in the soft, dark-grey asteroid dirt. Left? Right? Well, Grendreef might have secrets squirreled away all through this asteroid, and used this place before, or he'd gone one way then doubled back in an effort to ditch pursuers. She tried to determine which set of prints went over the other set, but in this case the dirt was too soft to show the necessary detail.

'Klyn, you must've got a better look at this place. Which way do you think?'


OOC: Argh. Perception 12, rerolled to 10. Boosted back to 12 with a temporary AP.
13:49, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 12 using 1d20+8. perception.
13:49, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 10 using 1d20+8. reroll.
13:53, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 2 using 1d6. action point.

As Lyla stopped, Klyn spotted the two sets of tracks and understood why she seemed perplexed.
"Maybe an older set of tracks?" he said as he moved closer.

Kneeling to get a better look at each set, he hoped to discover the 'trick' or they would be forced to split...

08:45, Today: Klyn Cors rolled 6 using 1d6. force point to increase perception.

08:44, Today: Klyn Cors rolled 18 using 1d20+8. perception.

Once she'd changed Tera helped Ryn to his feet. "Come on T3, lets go hunt ourselves an Imperial sadist." and headed down the tunnel.
This message was lightly edited by the GM at 20:58, Fri 10 Apr 2015.

"Thanks." Rynn said, standing up and stretching a little. "Let's catch up to them before they get too far." He followed Tera down the hallway.

As Klyn and Lyla puzzled out where the Admiral had gone and what he had been doing Tera, Rynn and T3-M8 had a chance to catch up. The rebels paused. Lyla and Klyn couldn't find any indication to what Grendreef might have been up to but they were able to discern that the freshest tracks where he had walked over the older ones went down the leftward tunnel. They could investigate where he'd gone or keep up the chase and follow the fresh trail.

'He went right, then came back, and went left. Maybe he did something or grabbed something down there, or he was trying to throw us off.' Lyla reported, standing and observing her friends had followed, that they had her back. 'I'm going to catch up with that bastard. You can follow or check out the other passage.' With that, blaster in hand and glowrod in the other, the twi'lek ranger took the left passage, resuming her hunt for her prey.

"He's the key. With him we can get on the Imperial ship and destroy it." Tera followed Lyla down the left pasage.
