Keenly aware they wouldn't keep the advantage for long, Lyla snuck out as soon as she got the go-ahead from the other team. She couldn't wait for Quantros's distraction, not knowing if he'd even found one, let alone being able to communicate with him. 'Attack on my mark.' she whispered over the comlink, wanting the ambush to have the element of surprise. They needed to take down as many Stormtroopers as possible, as soon as possible.

She swiftly aimed her blaster rifle at the lead Stormtrooper, readying her shot, counting down. 'Three, two, one. Mark.' She fired.


OOC: I'm assuming point-blank range, as I'm only the one effective outside that. :) Plus the corridors and fairly turny close to the crossroads, so we have ambush points.

Chu-Shkar aimed carefully and fired his bowcaster at the nearest storm trooper. The bolt struck true, and inflicted a solid hit, against the trooper.

He sighted again on the next trooper, and fired again.

At the moment Tera saw Lyla and Chu-Shkar level their weapons she realised this wasn't going to be stealthy part of the mission. She charged forward her lightsaber gleaming as she tried to reach one of the troopers.

OOC: Ok, I will go with point blank, if not Klyn will first move forward .
Klyn almost failed to see the others when they began the assault, but he recovered and fired at the imperials.

Rynn bolted forward as the ambush opened up, and tried to snap off a shot at one of the Stormtroopers.

In concert the two groups attacked the stormtroopers. Blasterfire crisscrossed the tunnels, crackling sound of energy bolts mingled with the yells of surprise and thuds of the Imperials bodies. All six stormtroopers were defeated before the realised they had been attacked. The crossroads was theirs.

Tera blinked at the carnage looking around "Uh....is anyone hurt?" she smiled at Lyla "Well....things didn't quite go as planned...but it worked out mostly"

Lowering her smoking blaster rifle, surprised at their own success, Lyla grinned back at Tera. 'Glad you finally got to the party. Now, we gotta take it to the Command Centre. There're twelve Imps stripping the joint we need to stop.'

Briefly, she thought over their plans and the map. 'You pull these bodies out of sight, I'll scout the next intersection. Maybe we can circle around and take them down in cross-fire again.'


OOC: Stealth 27. Lyla will scout the next intersection, between 3, 7, and 8.

Should we expect the enemy to hear the blaster fire and be alerted, or are the tunnels too long?

Well, that was an very well done ambush.

"It is an understatement" he muttered, "but we are kind off getting used to it."

Klyn helped carry the troopers back to the nearest hiding place (going as far as the airlock if needed).

A fast resolution and then Lyla quickly scouted to the next intersection. The winding and twisting Verpine tunnels were a tactical nightmare for the Imperials. With the recent alarm and now with com checks failing the Imperial had to increase security and Lyla stopped before she walked into another six stormtrooper who were guarding the intersection.

OOC So far you have been relatively quick and the Imperials have been investigating the airlock you didn't enter through. Don't worry things won't stay this easy.

Lyla ducked back behind cover and slunk back to her team, quickly reporting 'Six Stormtroopers at the junction. I say we ambush them now while we have the advantage, before they reinforce the technicians.'

Tera took a deep breath before nodding. "No time like the present. I have to wonder how many stormtroopers are stationed on this rock?"

"Too much, in my opinion" said Klyn, checking his weapon.

"Let's see if we can do as well as the last time."

"Can't believe it's gone so well this time." Rynn said, smirking and feeling full of himself.
"Alright lets make this happen."

"You have a very strange definition of 'so well'" commented Klyn.
"We didn't exactly succeed our stealth infiltration, the base is in high alert, a big group of imperials is currently dismantling computers we might need and we still have not clue about the fighters and the Gold."

He stoped and smiled back.
"But we are mostly unhurt and still 'invisible' so we are, indeed, faring better than usual."

In reply to Rynn Culmar (msg # 16):

"SPEAK for yourself."

Looking them over, Lyla thought the team were still in good spirits, despite the dismal assessments of exactly how screwed they were. 'We're balancing on the edge of disaster, but we're good at that now.' she gave her verdict.

Despite that, she was reluctant to assault the next group of Stormtroopers so close to the control rooms; there was too much risk of something going badly wrong and raising an alert, though it seemed inevitable at this point. A distraction would be good, which reminded her: 'Tera, are you still in contact with Quantros? What's his status? What's he doing?'

Tera frowned "He's been kind a quiet, and I get more feelings and sensations rather than out right phrases....but I can try to see how he's getting on, if you'd like."

Tera closed her eyes reaching out to Quantros to see how he was getting on.



OOC:
21:27, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 18 using 1d20+11.  use the force (telepathy).

"We need to keep this place as scattered as possible." Rynn whispered, trying not to distract the jedi from somehow talking to the other force user. "We need to be causing chaos. Should I start a few fires? Give them something other than us to focus on?"

"We already have something other than us" said Klyn as he readied himself for the next fight.
"They are looking at the other side of the base, thanks to your first attempt.
I say we continue forward for now, we can plan for distraction once our first objective is complete as the hangars will most certainly be well protected.

Maybe Chu will be able to create false alarms in the main center?

But now, let's kill those troopers and plant to bombs"

"GET me to a computer and we will have multiple alarms going off all over the base."

'Computers are in the Computer Room. But not for much longer.' Lyla reminded them quickly. 'Okay, let's take out the six Stormies first. We can't flank them, so we have to just rush them. We sneak in, I snipe the first, then the rest of you jump out and start blasting. So we're not in each other's line of fire, the first row should crouch. All good?'

"THEN I should be in back." Said the 88 inch wookie.

"I uh...I think Quantros has problems of his own. Lets get on with this. Anyone got grenades?" Tera asked

'I got three,' Lyla answered, a little surprised to remember she had them. 'I've been trying not to make too much noise. Seems not worth worrying about now.' She offered a frag grenade to Tera.
