OOC No, I made Swim check on Chu-Shkar's behalf and he failed.

Still cursing about all that water and wishing to be back in space, Klyn did his best to get closer and fired another harpoon

Teras arms burned as she kept trying to swim closer to deal with the renegades, not for the first time she wished she had a blaster pistol that could work underwater, but the only ones they'd found so far were rifles.

07:36, Yesterday: Tera Inkari rolled 16 using 1d20+3.  Swim

As Chu-Shkar closed the gap and had almost reached the Great Shell Dome he saw a harpoon released by Klyn strike down one of the last renegades than held the opening. The other two renegades continued battling the warrior monks, three of the warrior monks still stood.

OOC Next round

Chu-Shakr 12
Tera 21
Klyn 22.5

Tera continued swimming.

OOC
12:38, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 4 using 1d20+3.  Swim.

Klyn struggled to move correctly in the water which was really annoying him: one time he moved in the right direction then suddenly went the wrong way...

He tried another shoot, needing it to hit as a way to vent his frustration.

As Klyn fired another harpoon another of the Sedrian renegades was taken out of the harpoon pierced their skin as the warrior monks desperately battled them. Finally as Chu-Shkar edged ever closer the renegades that had invaded the Great Shell Dome came pouring out. The last the warrior monks fell to the onslaught. The renegades now at close distance with the Rebels stared at them dumbstruck, the renegades had clearly never seen a Wookiee or a human before.

The six renegades were variously armed. Two carried simple spears, two had the crystal powered sun guns of the warrior monks, another had a spear gun and the final renegade held only a lump of coral looking material.

OOC Next actions. The renegades will not act this round as they are confused by the appearance of the Rebels.

Distance to Great Shell Dome (in squares)

Chu-Shkar 9
Tera 21
Klyn 21

Tera swam as best as she could towards the rebels, almost hoping one would try to shoot her and that her lightsaber might defend against it.

12:49, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 5 using 1d20+3.  Swim.

Klyn had a feeling he was starting to get a grip on how to swim.
It did not, of course, mean that he wanted to do it any longer than necessary.

Taking advantage of the surprised look on the attackers, he launched another harpoon but he had presumed too much about his mastery of underwater fighting.

After the Sedrian had recovered from the surprise of being confronted by the Rebels they spread out as they swam away from the Great Shell Dome. The harpoon from Klyn flew harmlessly by to strike the nearby shell and gently fall to the bottom of the ocean. Ready to defend themselves the Sedrians retaliated. One fired an energy beam at Chu-Shkar, the crystal powered blast skimmed so close that Chu-Shkar had to dive out of the way. The other Sedrian with a sun gun felt the mystical power too precious to waste and held their gun ready but did not fire it. Returning like for like a Sedrian fired a harpoon at Klyn but it didn't come close to hitting the Alabak's Gold pilot and engineer.

Tera swam closer to the great dome.

11:02, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 20 using 1d20+3.  Swim.

Klyn tried to move to the right but his useless attempt at dodging the harpoon had him in a bit of trouble so he just fired at the one who just fired at Chu-Shkar.
His first instinct told him to target the one holding the strange crystal but he had witnessed the power of those strange guns and they really needed to get rid of those.

Putting on his final burst of speed, Chu-Shkar charged at the nearest Sedrian renegade. The Wookiee reached for the Sedrian. The renegade thrust out his spear as the Wookiee attacked. The head of the spear jabbed Chu-Shkar but it did not prevent the Rebel getting a strong grip on the Sedrian. The Sedrian struggled to fight, awkwardly he jabbed Chu-Shkar with his spear again. The other Sedrian with a spear swam forward to aid his companion and joined battle with Chu-Shkar. The Sedrian's were primitive but their spears should not be underestimated as not dangerous.

As the two spears fought Chu-Shkar the other renegades attempted to flee. The Sedrian with a spear gun covering their escape, shooting a spear to graze against Klyn's chest and draw blood.

Battle of the Great Shell Dome

OOC Renegade 2 scored an AoO vs Chu-Shkar then Chu-Shkar successfully grabbed him, so he now suffers -2 to attacks. Both spears then hit Chu-Shkar so in total he takes 22 damage. The spear gun hits Klyn for 1 damage.

Everyone is up.

Tera swam closer

12:47, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 5 using 1d20+3.  Swim.

Still unable to push himself in the correct direction, Klyn was stuck between two choices. Chu-Shkar looked in a dire situation, judging by the reddish taint of the water around him. But the strange crystal was certainly a vital element of whatever the Golden Sun was.

And if he didn't take down the one holding it, they might lose a vital battle...
On the other hand, they were focused on running, so if Chu-Shkar got ko, they probably would leave him.

He finally decided on firing on the crystal holder, but his indecision apparently had some effect on his aim... that and his poor attempt at swimming...

Chu-Shkar roars in defiance sending a surge of adrenaline through his body, and wrenches the Sedrian's neck.

The Wookiee's wrath was ferocious. Brutally the Wookiee with his bare hands tore at the Sedrian. The Sedrian were powerfully built and the renegades had been taught by the war-bishop Karak. They stabbed at the enraged Wookiee but could not stop Chu-Shkar. Blood filled the sea. Wounded the Sedrian limped away, following slowly behind their companions which were kicking their powerful tails to escape any confrontation with the Rebels.

Klyn did his best to move toward the fleeing sedrians.

He also fired at the one holding the strange crystal.

Tera swam some more.

11:09, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 11 using 1d20+3.  Swim.
If I'm allowed to take 10, then I will.

Chu-Shkar continues to damage the Sedrian in his grasp, as he strove to snap the creatures neck.


13:56, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 6 using 1d4+4.  damage from grapple.
13:55, Today: Chu-Shkar rolled 19 using 1d20+5.  grapple.

The last renegade thrust his spear again at Chu-Shkar. Chu-Shkar struck the Sedrian renegade a heavy blow with his hairy fist. The other renegades continued to flee. Klyn shot the lead renegade, the one holding the stolen coral. The harpoon struck but did not incapacitate the Sedrian.

Great Shell Dome Battle

OOC Chu-Shkar is hit for another 4 damage.

Edited map, removed Shell Dome was no longer relevant to battle and gives the characters a bit longer to chase the renegades.

Everyone is up.

Tera continued swimming towards those who had stolen the coral. She had no hope of catching them, but she could put pressure on them to make quick and hopefully wrong decisions.

OOC:
Take 10 on swim check

Seeing the sedrian flee, Klyn tried to chase them. But they were much more efficient in their element. He fired another shot at the one holding the crystal, but without much success this time.

Unless something happened, they would escape...

take 10 on swimming

Chu-Shkar was feeling the lifeblood flow out of him, he might never see his family again. This enraged him! As the adrenaline from the rage flowed into his blood he savagely roared. His eyes and face going feral, he began beating on the Sedrian.

Intimidate: 20
Attack: 17 (forgot the +2 from rage when I rolled.)
Damage: 10

A roar from a Wookiee at close range was terrifying even for the most stout hearted Sedrian. The seal-like creature threw down his spear "I surrender" he barked.

The other Sedrians renegades continued to swim away at full fluke. The distance between them and the Rebels increasing until they were out of sight. At that moment Jason returned to Fitsay in the speeder-raft.

OOC Intimidate is a Full Round Action, so I haven't included Chu's attack. If you wish to continue with the attack after the Sedrian has surrendered I will allow it as next round's action although it would a rather nasty thing to do!

Continued in 'The Sun Caves'
