Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

  Kalyx hissed and charged just behind his fellow padawans, the thought of combat against the battledroids brought a gleam to his slitted, amber eyes. He moved his large, leathery feet up the stone steps and turned toward the last droid. He didn't see the fluid spilled from the second attack and fell across the stone. His Jedi reflexes kicked in and he thrust his saber out as he passed the last B2 battle droid, slicing cleaning through its ankle joints. The heavy torso fell hard and slammed into the stone floor with a loud crack, sending its own smoldering fluid in a cascade down the stairs.

  With the way clear, the Republic group can see they are at a T-section, and can go left or right. There are some ancient, incadescent lights flickering in the corridors, providing extra, if not spotty, illumination.

  To the right, the passage goes about eight meters and ends in another room. There is a passage leading out of it to the left, though you can't see how big the room extends to the right, the back wall is only about eight meters across.

  To the left, the hall has two passages on the right at about eight meters and  sixteen meters down the corridor. It continues on from there, but is hard to see how far at least twenty meters or more.



OOC: 1 setback due to falling from from Tarrin's threats. But Kalyx finished the last one so the way is clear. END OF COMBAT, resume narrative time.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Jini breaths heavily, and turns off her lightsaber. "We don't have time for this," she mutters. "Those droids will have known which way leads where. K1, can you slice into the processor unit in one of them and try to find out which way to go?" she says.

As the droid responds, she kneels for a moment, opening herself to the Force, trying to get some guidance, but her mind dwells on darkness and despair and she can't get any sense of where to go.

OOC: Jini is clearly feeling lost, her Sense roll was less than optimal:
21:01, Today: Jini Relliri rolled no successes, 2 dark force points using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 2F with rolls of 5(F), 5(F).  Sense to get a feeling for the direction to take.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Den steps away from the fallen droids, calming his breathing as he looks around to get a better sense of his surroundings. He takes a moment to try and find their target, but it's too elusive for the young padawan, finding his fear and the dark side that clouds the area to block that. He decides to try again, but this time, for anything that might be an immediate threat to the team. He is successful with that.

12:42, Today: Den Jaxon rolled no successes, 1 light force point using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 1F with rolls of 8(F).  sense.
12:40, Today: Den Jaxon rolled no successes, 2 dark force points using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 1F with rolls of 7(F).  Seek.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

   The Protocol Droid took a moment to raise a finger as part of it retracted and a small extension emerged. With this, K1 inserted the device into the side of the B2 maintenance port and there was a long pause while she interrogated the Droid's processor for the information that was needed. "I believe I have the coordinates for the path we need to proceed ... One moment, I am accessing the Droid's video memory in order to learn more."

   There was another moment's pause as the red optical scanner came to a stop and stayed in the middle of the scanner. "I am processing a lot of holovid data - there is a video that you all will wish to see." K1's head swivelled to regard one of the Clone Troopers, more specifically the small datapad the Trooper was carrying. "If I might trouble you for your viewer, Sir ..." The Droid extended her hand and took the proffered device and began to connect it to the slicing gear that she carried. "Thank you - a moment, please.  I should be able to show this once I've decrypted the rest of the file."

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

  The video went back to when the droid was activated in a small compartment on the Geonosian ship with a couple dozen other B2 droids. They formed up and marched into the cargo hold nearby. The droid received instructions along with the others and then all moved down the ramp, out into the Bissian badlands. They formed up with a company of thin, B1 battledroids and two Destroyer droids, that came out of their rolling, ball shape configuration and stood at attention.

  The B2 droid watched a three person tech team in grease-stained, blue coveralls descended the ramp with a hovercart with a mini-generator and several tech tools and devices. The techies stood to the side of the platoon of droids, looking somewhat uncomfortable in the military formation. The tech team consisted of a muscular, dark tan Bith female, an old bat faced Chadra-Fan male, with patchy, mangy peru shaded fur, and a short, disheveled, human man, with thin, curly black hair and a full beard. Next, there were two B1 battledroids pushing a hovercart with a person laying on it. It appeared to be a female Togruta dressed in plain, brown robes laying motionless. Her hands were strapped together with glowing blue energy cuffs. The group immediately noticed the robes as Jedi standard garb.

   Following behind that group, a muscular, bald, middle-aged human in a grey and blue Separatist General's uniform stood tall and proud as he made his way to the planet's surface in front of the regiment of droids, et al. Undoubtedly this was Toggus. He sported an ash colored, trimmed mustache and narrow green eyes above a pointy chin. He was followed closely by a large, green skinned Nikto wearing a maroon and orange plastoid type armor and open faced helmet. He had large spikes coming from all around his reptilian face, almost like the outline of goggles. The Nikto had a large rifle strapped to his back, and he looked like he has seen more than a few battles and was on constant alert, checking the surrounding area and ignoring the beings and automatons that were in formation.

    Toggus gave a speech about the importance of this mission and turning the tide in the Clone Wars, etc. Seemed to be a waste of time, given the droids weren't any more motivated by a rousing speech than a terrible speech. Perhaps the tech crew appreciated the rhetoric, but they just seemed to be bored and impatient.

   They finally headed into the large cavern and followed the same path as the group through the tunnels. There was a brief skirmish with a large, agile, reptilian creature that took out several of the B1 droids, with is sharp claws and rows of teeth. Eventually it was mowed down by the battledroids and the two Destroyer droids that pummeled it with overwhelming blaster fire.

  They continued on, and the tech crew moved and seemed to be scanning the large entrance door to the complex with the huge elaborate stone door, though it was closed. They held out an object and placed it in the center of the door and it clicked loudly, then swung partially open. It seemed to be stuck and took a bunch of B2 droids to move it several feet so they could enter. The Separatists went in and up the stairs. There was a discussion about the path. They seemed to be following a map to find this place, but had no information beyond the entrance and were trying to decide which way to go.

   They split up the Destroyer droids and sent them rolling in several directions. The B1's and B2's also split up and headed out searching the area. It took a long time, the droids searched all over and finally they found the correct path to a room. One of the Destroyer droids, flanked by several B1 units, tried to grasp the door handle to another elaborately carved, but much smaller door. It communicated back to Toggus that it found a carved, stone door, different from the others. The doors in the rest of the rooms were probably made of wood and long ago disintegrated into debris, given that all the other doorways had the same soft debris right at the threshold.

   As the destroyer droid grasped the door and pulled it open, a dozen metal spikes shot down from the ceiling impaling all the droids in a wide area. Several B2's in the back including the one recording were just out of range of the trap. The surviving droids immediately alerted the General.

  Toggus summoned the rest of the droids to head to the room with the stone door. The B2 helped the other droids clear the droid debris and spikes and swung the stone door all the way open without further incident. Once the portal was opened, it revealed a large room with steps on all sides leading up to a rectangular, grey stone dais. Behind the dais was a large, bronze-plated statue of a winged reptilian creature. It held a staff in one claw and a cylindrical device in the other. Toggus directed the droids to bring the prisoner to the dais, and they dutifully pushed the hover cart up the steps and then moved the female's body. The Togruta was still not moving and her body hung limp as they moved her onto the stone. Toggus took the cylindrical object from the clawed hand of the winged reptile statue. It was glowing with red runes in some unfamiliar language. The general ordered two dozen B1's to head back and report and two squads to stand guard back at the entrance cave. He ordered the B2 unit squad of three to go back to the top of the stairs and stand guard. The B2 left the scene, heading back to the top of the stairs. It remained there until the arrival of Jini and the rest of the group.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Jini lets out a quiet gasp as the droid's auditory log is played back and shows what is undoubtedly a Jedi being charted into the tunnel. She watches the rest of the log, becoming more agitated as the droids look for the room they seem to know is in there somewhere. She tries to puzzle together the best way to get there from their current location.

"This is more serious than I could have imagined. I don't know what exactly the general is doing here, but the fact that he brought one of our own and has located what appears to be an artifact from the dark side, possibly something from the ancient Sith, makes this a most urgent matter," Jini tells the others as the log ends with a flash of blaster fire and lightabers before Tarrin cuts down the droid.

"The plan remains unchanged. I'll head for the artifact and try to secure the Jedi, if she is still alive. You engage any droids and that Nikto. Anyone who gets a chance to capture the general, do so. We need him alive. Especially now that we know he is dabbling with forces he shouldn't," she says.

As she sets out, she touches K1's shoulder. "Well done, the time you saved us looking through dark tunnels will hopefully be enough to stop the general from doing whatever it is he came here to do."

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Den gasps quietly when noticing the jedi in the playback. He was not sure who it was, but obviously the Separatists aren't going to hold a party for her.

His concern turns to amazement. An ancient temple of some sort. His lips purse as he thinks about all his studies in the library. Does this look familiar? His fascination/almost obsession of ancient jedi and sith tomes might come in handy. However, this is something he doesn't think he's come across in his research.

"In all my time I've spent looking at ancient relics, this is one that I have not seen mentioned in the libraries on Coruscant." Den says, frowning a little. "We need to hurry, though. I do not think the general intends to keep our fellow jedi alive for much longer"

08:01, Today: Den Jaxon rolled no successes, 3 advantages using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 3A with rolls of 8(A), 6(A), 1(A).  Lore.


13:51, Today: Den Jaxon rolled 1 failure, 3 threats using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 4D with rolls of 1(D), 4(D), 4(D), 8(D).  lore difficulty.

Total: 1 Failure.

   K1 turned slightly, the red line of her optical sensor regarding the Jedi. "You are welcome, Commander Rellri." the Droid stated, matter-of-factly as she disassembled the tablet and slicing gear, then offered the device back to the Clone Trooper. "I'm pleased to have been able to assist you in finding your way through here more efficiently. If there is anything else I may do to assist you, you have only but to ask. But we should see to the liberation of the Jedi currently here before the General terminates her life force. "

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

From the Miraluka's body posture, it is obvious his eyes would have widened in horror if he had any.  The last thing he wanted was to see his prediction unfold in front of them on digital record.  So, he had been right.  A Dark Side relic and the General was going after it for some unknown reason.  What were they going to do?  They were already injured and weary from the journey and having performed repeated assaults on droids just to get to this point.  Could they really handle whatever surprises were coming next?

"Surely you are not going after the hostage and artifact on your own?" Tarrin asked, his brow furrowing in concern after hearing Jini's words.  "You were just recently injured.  At least bring some support with you.  The last thing anyone should do is face a potential Dark Side relic alone."

He did not want to be the one to come with the Mon Calamari.  Every fiber of his being screamed out against it--the occupational hazard of being a Miraluka with their extreme Force senses.  But, he was a Jedi and part of that was facing things that were difficult to face.  Gripping the hilt of his ignited lightsaber, he steeled his resolve in case the Jedi Knight picked him as her support.

Jini smiles faintly. "We'll improvise when we see what we're up against. We'll stick to the plan, but react when we need to. And about the dark side artifact, I'm not sure my physical state will be what matters," she says wryly.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

  Boss summarized the order from Jini to confirm for both soldiers and any others. "Roger that Commander, engage the droids and Nikto enforcer with deadly force. General Toggus is to be secured with non-lethal force."

  After Jini affirmed his verification, the clones both checked the gear was stowed properly and ready to access, and made sure their weapons were in working order. As they performed their readiness routine, Boss spoke up again. "Charlie and I noted the way from the video. Charlie will lead us there and I will take up rear guard."

  The Clone trooper nodded, spun ninety degrees and marched down the left corridor. He carried his bulky repeating blaster across his white armored chest and his synthplast boots echoed down the hall as they clacked on the ancient, stone tiles.

  Boss stood out of the way, allowing the others to pass him, his rifle also across his chest in a precise, military guarding stance, then followed the last of the group.

   K1 began to start walking in the direction of the others, passing the Clone troopers before she turned to the Jedi Commander. "Commander Rellri, with regards to this ... artifact you speak of, perhaps it might be best if someone without a connection to the Force - which this unit does not - took possession of it? From my calculations, there should be no difficulty in my acquisition and possession of the object. And you may safely study it at a distance without any repercussions."

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

  The Republic envoys followed the heavily armed clone through the dusky halls of the temple-like underground structure. The Jedi's lightsabers lit up the scene of ancient debris, covered in dust or rust, or simply disintegrated into piles of decomposed detritus along the walls and in side chambers. The  glowing blades did an adequate job of abating the darkness, but dark side tint of the place makes it much more murky for the students of the Force and their other wizard-like senses. It gets stronger as they come to the last turn before they arrive at the large temple room depicted in the video with the dais.

  Charlie approached the intersection and turned and yelled out, "Tinnie patrol!" He began to move across to cover on the opposite side of the room that made up the left side of the corridor.



OOC: Roll for initiative, everyone. Also, the dark side influence is hitting critical mass and the Jedi need to roll Willpower check to handle the effects against 1D 1C difficulty.
  The patrol is on the right of the passage at the door to the temple sanctuary. Basically the patrol is at the 4 in the corridor shown in the map under group 1

Den seems to be ready to fight, his lightsaber up. However, every second that passes, the padawan seems to waver. Then, his blade retracts with a hiss as he starts looking around. "No...no..." He says quietly, shaking his head. He bolts, running to safety. He ducks in an alcove and sits, his arms hugging his curled up legs to his chest.

  The clone trooper moved to the opposite wall so that his left side had some cover from the tinnies, who were turning their blasters toward him. He dropped the barrel of the repeating blaster to his hip, and squeezed the trigger unleashing a deluge of concentrated plasma streaks across the dimly lit corridor. Several of those laser bolts riddled the hapless B1 droids, causing them to jerk in spasms, two of them dropped to the stone floor. The third battledroid was hit a couple times in the torso. Wisps of smoke snaked upward from its damaged areas.


OOC: Charlie's attack roll. 3 successes net. dropped the last 2A (luckily they were blanks anyway!), should have been 1D.. lack of sleep,  I need to double check my math.. :(  one B1 has 1 wound left, the 3 b2 units are undamaged.

  The white armored Sergeant moved around the Jedi and up to the corner, leaning to point his modified DC-15 rifle down the hall at the droids. He spotted the injured droid and fired, blasting the canine-like head from the droid body and flinging it into the face of one of the super battledroids. "Three down, three more B2's remaining.!"

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Jini freezes for a moment as she sees the droids ahead. This is useless, how can she hope to prevail against endless hordes of droids, as well as the organics waiting for them. Hopelessness fills her, she wonders for a moment why the Force has chosen her to lead the Padawans on this day, and how horribly she's going to fail them all. For a moment she considers ordering them all to fall back, there are limits to what she can ask of mere Padawans and two clones. She very well may have done just that if the pair of clones hadn't opened fire on the droids, smartly taking out the three B1 battle droids.

The Mon Calamari Jedi is dimly aware of Den fleeing the scene, but this is not the time to deal with that. Trying her best to put the dark thoughts out of her mind and concentrate on the present, she dashes ahead, keeping low so as not to block the line of fire for the clones. She uses the Force to jump the last meters, severing the weapon arm of one of the droids as she lands. She rolls forward, swinging low and cutting another droid in half with her saber, but pays the price as pain from her wound nearly causes her to drop her weapon. She rolls to her feet and sees that the now disarmed droid has turned towards her dumbly, still holding the stump of his arm up as if trying to shoot. Wasting no time she impales the droid through the head, causing it to fall to the ground.


OOC: Jini uses a maneuver to engage the B2 droids, another to aim (costing her 2 strain) and then swings at the bastards:
21:15, Today: Jini Relliri rolled 1 success, 1 advantage, 1 triumph using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 2P 1B 2D 1S with rolls of 12(P), 11(P), 4(B), 7(D), 2(D), 2(S).  Attacking the B2s, boost for aiming.

Oooo, Jini's done gooood. That's a hit for 8 damage, breach 2, which puts down one droid. She'll use the Triumph to get one more with a critical hit. The advantage will give the next player to roll a boost.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Seeing the tendrils of darkness all around them, the Miraluka shivered unconsciously.  What was this?  The thought echoed in his mind, but he already knew.  This was true Darkness.  The feeling the others felt was something that he was experiencing as if he was reaching out and touching it.  There was a vision of the cylinder, the same one he had seen in his vision, hovering before him.  It spoke to him with honeyed, silent whispers.

It was right.  He was stronger than Jini.  That much was obvious by how much she had struggled against battledroids and leading them toward their objective.  She was injured and should step down from her position as it was.  Hierarchy had its place in the halls of the Jedi Temple, but here people lived and died by it.  If she was not fit to lead, she needed to be replaced in order to prevent others from coming to harm.  He could feel it.  If he just pushed against the chains that were binding him, pressed only a little further, they would snap like twigs.  He could taste the freedom of absolute power.

But, what for?

The thought echoed in his mind, rippling and amplifying as it drowned out the whispered voice.  What was the point of such power?  The only thing he needed to do was to protect others.  Power for power's sake held no meaning to him.  The whispers began to grow, but as they did so Tarrin held his lightsaber upright with both hands.  Reaching deep within himself, he pulled at the fear he felt from the Dark Side and cast it out, replacing it with images of how they had all been helping each other through this.  They were stronger together, and this darkness would not tear them apart.  Not while he was still here.

A surge of the Force welled from within Tarrin as he cried out.  "Enough, Darkness!  I reject you!"  Pressing the Force outward, the tendrils he could see ceased to touch him as he ran forward with his lightsaber, leaving brilliant blue streaks as the remaining droids were slashed into pieces.


16:21, Today: Tarrin Feruwi rolled no successes, 2 advantages using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 1B with rolls of 5(B).
16:21, Today: Tarrin Feruwi rolled 2 successes, 2 advantages using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 3A 1P 2D with rolls of 8(A), 4(A), 5(A), 11(P), 6(D), 7(D).  Lightsaber attack.

At least 8 damage plus a critical hit.  There probably aren't any left.  There are still three advantages left in case anyone needs them for anything.

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

  The reptiloid Jedi crouched and readied himself to follow Jini and Tarrin into the attack, but noticed Den turning away, looking pale and distraught. They needed all of their brood to defeat this enemy, and he needed to help his companion. He scrunched up his leather face as he fought the primal urges that tried to lead them much like the dark side is trying to do. He spun on his clawed foot and followed the studious Jedi to the alcove.

  "Den Jackssssson! Lissssten to me. Those voicezzzz are not your thoughtsss. It is the dark sssside  object that is invading your mind.. Fight it, Den Jacksssson. You are sssstronger than thissss."

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

As they approached the open doors, Tarrin could hear the Trandoshian behind him trying to help his fellow padawan come back to his senses.  Even the Miraluka was having trouble keeping himself in check.  The sooner all of them were away from this dark place, the better off they would all be.  This was not a place for people like them to travel, but they were here nonetheless.  He wanted nothing more than to flee back to the ship and head back to Coruscant, but one thing he knew made a Jedi was standing firm against the darkness even when they would rather withdraw.  And since their Jedi Knight was having trouble herself, it was up to him to cut them a path through their adversaries.

Stepping forward slowly into the room, he brought his brilliant blue blade up into a vertical position as he held the hilt close to his chest, his elbows facing outward.

"I am one with the Force," he intoned, letting his senses extend through the entire room.  He was but an instrument of the Force, so he would let it help him move like an unseen hand that guided him.  With that, he broke out into a run toward the group of B2 Battle Droids.

The droids were wholly unprepared for the young Miraluka as the first one was cleaved directly in two by a vertical slash as Tarrin leapt into the air and brought his lightsaber down.  Landing in a crouch, he spun with his weapon effectively cleaving the legs from a second one right next to it.  From the spin he gathered his legs underneath him and sprang out of the crouch to thrust his blade through the red power sensor close to the third battle droid's arm. It buzzed and clicked as it seemed to be having some severe malfunction, but it had not been effectively destroyed as yet.  However, the blade was withdrawn to be brought down and pierced the second droid that had lost its legs directly in its optical sensor disabling it.

The young padawan's skill with a lightsaber seemed like something that a Jedi Knight would struggle to achieve.  The rumors of the Miraluka race's talent in the Force seemed to be much more than mere rumor when seeing the example before them.


12:11, Today: Tarrin Feruwi rolled 4 successes, 3 advantages using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 3A 1P 2D 2B with rolls of 4(A), 7(A), 7(A), 10(P), 1(D), 7(D), 1(B), 6(B).  Lightsaber attack.

One advantage spent to activate critical hit to instant kill one.  Ten damage should kill another and leave the third severely wounded with only two wounds remaining.  Taking two strain to get there, but using two advantages to remove strain.

Combat Sense is currently active.  Upgrade the first two attacks against Tarrin every round.

The dark voices in his head continue yelling, driving him to cower in the corner. He then hears a distant voice. Is that real? He pulls his hands away from his face to see a familiar sight.  He sees his fellow jedi's mouth move, but the words aren't syncing with what he's hearing. Den focuses hard to finally hear Kalyx. It takes another few moments before he actually understands the words. He pushes that other voice away so it is barely an audible whisper. The padawan can't completely not hear it, but it's not as overpowering. He regains his resolve and stands, although very shaky. "I think...I think I'm all right. Go help them. I need another moment to recover."

Holding action. He may have beaten the voices, but with his insecurities exposed, it's going to take him just a moment longer before battling. At least Kalyx can get back into the fray.
Also, not doing well strain-wise. Is there a way to recover some during combat?

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

Seeing Den hesitate, Jini pauses for a brief moment. "Come on Den, we need you," she shouts at the Padawan. As she looks around, she can see Tarrin already engaged with the droids and puts Den from her mind again. He will either help or not, nothing she can do about that now. She uses the Force to propel herself forward, striking at the droids Tarrin is engaged as she passes them by. Her aim is off but she doesn't let that bother her. She is planning to leave the droids to Tarrin and the other Padawans and try to deal with the other threats if she has to, or get to the dark side artifact if possible.


OOC: Jini will take two maneuvers (burning 2 strain) to engage the droids alongside Tarrin, and then attacks the droids.
12:56, Today: Jini Relliri rolled no successes, 3 advantages using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 2P 1B 2D 1S with rolls of 10(P), 3(P), 6(B), 1(D), 1(D), 4(S).  Attacking droids alongside Tarrin.

Well crap. I'll spend two advantages to give Den a boost to his next action, as Jini spurs him into action. The last boost will be used to give the next PC to act a boost. If Den takes the next action it will be two boosts for him!

Chapter 2 - Descent into Darkness

  Boss rushed to move from cover and followed the two Jedi into the new chamber and into the teeth of their enemy. His legs burned at the effort of moving double-time to get into firing range. 'Finally, they can close out their mission or die trying. It felt right, and it was their sole purpose, so it was gratifying to be able to meet their objective. But first he had to clear the path.' He watched with fascination as the blind Jedi tore down the two Super battledroids with ease, and nearly finished off the last one. Jini made her way toward the dias area and closed in on their target, Toggus. 'Good', he thought as he snapped the rifle up to firing position and lined up his sights instantly. CT-4805 pulled the trigger, releasing a gout of lazer fire at the last clanker. The shot flew true, and hit the undercarriage of the droids torso, fusing a good sized hole in its internal systems. The B2 jerked violently before it crashed to the floor, joining the two other scrap heaps that were once automatons.


OOC: Boss will use the boost from Jini and shoots the last two taking it out.
