Init: 9

Rynn swam off to the side of Karak, trying to flank him (Swimming north-west). As he came in close enough to be comfortable, he snapped off a quick shot at the creature but it went wild.

Precise shot... not that it mattered.
14:31, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 6 using 1d20+5.  Attack.
14:27, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 16 using 1d20+3.  Initiative.

United the Rebels rushed forward to confront their deadly opponent. Harpoons and blaster bolts shot at the Sedrian but the Bishop of War paid no heed. The coral chamber dimmed further as he thrust a hand onward and upwards in the direction of the approaching enemy. As Karak moved Rynn felt a great and powerful Force push against him and send him uncontrollably toward the cave roof.

At the entrance to dim cave Rekara, Pek and Fala paused. All three of them moan in distress. As Tera entered she felt their discomfort. The pleas of the untainted Golden Sun called out to her, although she could not understand it.

Final Battle

OOC Ranged attacks against Karak are -5 to hit as he is holding Odrion. Characters with Precise Shot can ignore this.

Everyone can act.

Tera make a UtF check.

Rynn make a Strength Check against an opposed roll of 28 to resist Karak's Force Thrust, less than 19 and Rynn is thrown against the ceiling of the cave and takes 1 damage.

'Fan out! Circle around him but stay out of each other's firing line! And keep the exits covered.' Lyla called over comms, leaping off the floor and along the wall of the cave. While she was propelled through the water, she twisted around to face Karak, using momentum and buoyancy to focus on taking aim at the mad bishop. Facing him side on, she got a clear shot, and took it.

Klyn moved to the south, and assessing the situation, decided to make a few adjustements to his harpoon pistol.

move
personalized modification +1 to hit, +2damage

The last thought that went through his head before he slammed into the ceiling was 'maybe I shouldn't have gone first'. He was a little disoriented by the blast but was clear headed enough to still follow the sergeant's orders. He swam forward, trying to get behind the force user and stay out of his sight until he took his shot.

12:11, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 15 using 1d20+5.  Attack.
10:39, Today: Rynn Culmar rolled 10 using 1d20.  Strength.

Tera knew she could never swim close to Karak, her lightsaber was her only weapon, the only good side was that it could be used defensively. Not understanding what the golden Sun was trying to communicate, she sent waves of reassurance towards it, a feeling that the light would prevail.

Chu-Shkar saw red, and swam as fast as he could towards the offending Sedrian.

Their prey ahead Lyla orchestrated the Rebel attack. The crew of the Alabak's Gold both old and new reacted swiftly to her leadership. All of the Rebels hustled to take advantage of their single opponent. They swarmed around Karak and under-fire the mad Force priest was struck by their attacks. The blast wounded the Sedrian but perhaps not as much as it should have done.

Angered the Sedrian forced his attention on the Twi'lek. He raised a coral crystal and as he crushed it in his hand Lyla felt the power of the Dark side as it tightened on her throat. Helplessly she gagged and squirmed in the water as pulses of pain coursed through her body "weak fool, let me show you my power" he gloated.

As Tera opened her mind to the Golden Sun she heard a thousand singing voices call for peace, harmony and a return of joy. She joined in their dream of togetherness for Sedri. They begged her to join them. Rekara, Pek and Fala hearing the same song grasped hands together and touched the coral walls. Glowing shafts of light extended from their communion to reach forward in invitation to Tera.

Final Battle

OOC Ranged attacks against Karak are -5 to hit as he is holding Odrion. Characters with Precise Shot can ignore this.

Lyla is in a Force Grip so can only take a Swift action on her next turn.

Chu-Shkar was only able to move forward this round but is now in range if he wants to Charge now.

Everyone can act.

At the grip of a dark and unseen hand, Lyla choked and struggled franticly, disturbed and frightened by this hideous power. 'Not... into... this!' she gasped, finding a glib remark even under pressure, anything to shake off the dread and pain. With that, she realised: if Karak was busy strangling her, he was distracted. Great plan, Lyla. 'Get Odrion— off of him!' she grunted out.


OOC: Swift: move half a step up on Condition Track (Shake It Off)

Tera looked at the battle and thought the only real way for them to win, would be for the golden sun to reject Karak and leave him without meaningful power. She reached for the golden sun, welcoming it within her, to show it the true nature of the Light Side and how it would overcome the darkside every time.

OOC:I wonder if gain an innate understanding of sedrian culture as a result of this "commune"

Doing his best not to be shaken by the light show and the strange powers of the large Sedrian, Klyn moved again to the south then fired at the big target.
"Let her go!"
att 22 dmg 14

When Tera reached on to the others and joined hands with them her mind reached out to Golden Sun. Together the four supplicants to Golden heard the song become louder and more intense. Tera's vision was filled with bright colours and a warm glow surrounded her. Thousands of voices, sad yet full of purpose, sang to her of a world bound together by peace and energy. The many colours shifted so Tera could see once more. Her sight was now more clear than before, but she was no longer in the dim cave and involved in the battle against the villian Karak. Tera saw the whole of coral reef beneath her, it was full of power and energy. A wave of fear washed into her followed by waves of commitment. Then the coral exploded, releasing its energy in waves of happiness and sharing. Then the vision faded. She came back to her self, still holding hands with Pek and the others in the coral caves. Nearby she could again hear the sound of battle as Karak unleashed his unending attacks at her companions.

Chu-Shkar charges forward attempting to slam his axe into the force using Sedrian. His anger rising he was growing into a rage.

In reply to Chu-Shkar (msg # 282):

Rynn swam closer trying to get off a decent shot but they went wide.

Tera tried to understand the message the Golden sun gave her. Was it an acknowledgement of her presence and a commitment for assistance? Was the Golden Sun trying to send her a message of what it planned to do. She understood the golden Sun, an aware and sentient coral group. Each part so very small, but together bigger than anything. Tera tried to commune with the sun to have it redeem the coral Karak had infected with his darkness back to the light side, in the hopes it would take away his source of power.

Surrounded by the Rebels Karak bellowed in his arrogance. Focused on Lyla his dark power gripped her and sent waves of pain through her body. It was enough of an opportunity for Chu-Shkar to charge in and swinging the alien axe he struck the Sedrian. A harpoon from Klyn was as effective in hitting the target but caused less harm. The Sedrian was wounded but did not waver from his cause "bow to me and I will let you live" he commanded.

At the entrance to the cave Tera stood in a circle with Pek, Rekara and Fala. All has seen the same vision. Rekara looked to Tera "the coral can not be separated from Karak, we must take the power from him. We must scatter the Golden Sun to the ocean" to this Pek was aghast "no we can not do this the power will be lost forever" he complained. What choice did Tera have?

Final Battle

OOC Ranged attacks against Karak are -5 to hit as he is holding Odrion. Characters with Precise Shot can ignore this.

Karak's Force Grip on Lyla has loosen so although she takes another 7 points of damage she may move and act as normal this round.

Everyone can act.

In a rage Chu-Shkar continued to swing at Karak, trying to destroy this troublemaker so they can go home and get out of this water.

Attack 12 probably misses.
damage 23

Tera thought things through "I'm not sure. The Golden sun is unique and wonderful and yet that is what makes it a danger to this planet in its current form. If not Karak...then the Empire, will seek to abuse it and turn it to their need." Tera thought "From my understanding the Golden sun is sad, but sees the need to disperse itself, to remove itself from being used as a threat against Sedrians. I cannot disagree with this. With no unified source, this planet can determine its own fate and not have the golden sun be used against the people that live here. I agree with Rekara. Without its dispersal, it can always be used by the next Karak."

Rynn prepared his blater, but instead tapped the comms to broadcast. "So what does that mean? We need to anything different?" Snapping a shot off at the creature while he was distracted.

21:10, Yesterday: Rynn Culmar rolled 6 using 1d20+5.  Attack.

Suddenly freed of the insidious grip, Lyla gasped for air through her breather, and struggled to avoid drowning instead. 'Thanks!' she rasped, her neck aching.

'It means nothing to us. Keep shooting Karak! Flank him! And rescue Odrion!' she answered Rynn frantically, resuming her swim and shoot routine. She fired, but the pain in her neck, the darkness descending in her eyes, and the dizziness in her head and tails all conspired to throw off her aim,


OOC:
Swift: move half a step up on Condition Track (Shake It Off), no penalties.
Move: move 3 squares toward bottom left and under Klyn
Standard: attack 12, miss.

"I agree!" said Klyn, firing another harpoon.
"We must concentrate on him and then that question won't even be needed"
Once again, he had a feeling his aim had somehow been guided.
A feeling he had sensed quite a few time since their first encounter with the Golden Sun.
attack 21 dmg 21

Both outsiders, Tera and Rekara, agreed that the Golden Sun should be scattered into the ocean. Expectantly they looked to Pek and Fala. Rekara no longer looked crazed and Fala communicated her agreement with a nod. All eyes turned to Pek. The son of the High Priest shook his whiskers "we can not lose the source of our power" he retorted but the young Sedrian did not possess the force of will to stand against the other three in their link "we can not let Karak or the Fish-killers take the Golden Sun either" he resigned himself. The coral heard the decision and suddenly the cave exploded with light. The reef scattered itself to the far seas and the oceans sang with the power of the Golden Sun. The darkness that had permeated the cave fell away and Tera felt her wounds heal.

No longer in a cave but a large dip in the ocean floor Karak was surrounded, attacks came from all sides and he suffered wound after wound. The dark priest turned his attention away from Lyla as the Twi'lek ran into the corner. A thrust of his hands and his dark power struck Chu-Shkar and Rynn as the water rippled and slammed into them. Both were thrown and spun in circles.

All the Rebels heard the coral reach out and touch their minds, then it fades to a constant - but much weaker - presence, at one with the planet.

In the ruins of the reef Karak held Odrion, his manic gleam faded. His power remained in his possession and he was still dangerous.

Final Battle

OOC Ranged attacks against Karak are -5 to hit as he is holding Odrion. Characters with Precise Shot can ignore this.

Karak's Force Grip has been released. Chu-Shkar and Rynn both take 10 damage from Force Slam and have been knocked Prone.

Tera has been healed.

Everyone can act.

'Goddess!' Lyla swore in awe as the roof exploded in light and lifted right off above their heads, and debris rained down on them. She hadn't expected that, or known what was happening, but it was clear Karak had lost an advantage. Not that he wasn't still a major threat with a hostage.

'Keep at him! He's lost his mojo!' she rallied her team, firing another shot but still finding it hard to aim. She knew she wasn't long in this fight, but she knew she wasn't giving it up either.


OOC: Attack 9, big miss.
19:36, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 9 using 1d20+7. attack, PBS+1, Precise Shot.

"What the ..!?" yelped Klyn as the cavern suddenly vanished.

At first he thought about another attack from outside, but it became quickly obvious it wasn't an explosion as there was little to no debris but 'just' all the coral parts that had somehow flew in all direction.

'So all the cave was the Golden Sun?' he pondered, but he quickly went back to reality as their main antagonist was still at the same place.

Questions will have to wait until they were all safe... And thankfully there wasn't any troopers now that they were in the open.

Attack 23 damage 17
