As Krantz and his allies picked themselves up, Korg noticed the prisoner he was guarding had disappeared.

"Where is our prisoner?!", Korg hissed in a low tone?

"Found him", Khant said also in a low tone, pointing to the furthest bulkhead.

A large stream of blood was running down the wall, originating from the seam where the wall and celling met.

"At least we don't have to guard a prisoner now", Khaval said, also trying to be quiet. "Look for Slugthowers and melee weapons - carry grenades and disruptors but only as backup weapons - I would like the Bridge intact."

 Krantz holstered his pistol,and searched the armory for a Klingon projectile hand weapons. He settled on a brace of large black pistols of Klingon manufacture. he took six Sonic grenades and attached them to his belt. Krantz considered taking a Bat'leth, but decided for this mission,a dagger was more then enough. He soon stood ready and awaiting orders from his friend and erstwhile Captain.

Once they were properly armed, Khaval led the way to the exit out of the Armory.

He tapped the controls to the door and they opened. He saw the corridor was deserted for the moment and hand signaled for Krantz and Khant to go out first to cover their exit of the armory.

As soon as Khaval and Korg came out, Khaval gave his next orders.

"Ready Disruptors - we head for the bridge. We will meet opposition as we make our way to our objective but once we get there, we switch to slugthrowers and melee weapons and regain control."

 When Khaval gave his orders,Krantz answered in the Battle Language. " Understood Captain."

 He took his Disruptor pistol in hand,then awaited the feeling of being transported.

With Krantz and the larger Khant leading the way, the four loyalists made their way to the bridge.

After a few moments, they ran into their first opposition literally around the corner - 5 crewman, all Imperials.

Both groups are shocked to see each other.

(What do you do? Your choice will determine what I require as far as rolls go ~Almighty GM)

 Krantz was a fellow Imperial,so he took the first action. " We fight for the Emperor and the Empire. For whom do you fight for?"

 Krantz had his disruptor pistol pointed at the floor,but he was ready to aim it at the five Klingons.

Upon hearing Krantz's words, they stopped.

"For duty & Empire!", one said.

"Kai to the Emperor!", said another.

"Death to all traitors!", said a third.

Khaval stepped forward. "We are on our way to the Bridge to retake the ship form the P'tak who have taken over Ripper...Are you with us?"

All nodded or said. "Aye".

(Good move - extra dice for skill improvement when this adventure is over ~Almighty GM)

 Krantz nodded and smiled to the five new members of their merry band. " We follow you to the Black Fleet,Captain?"

Khaval put his hand on Krantz shoulder and gave a firm grip and grim grin.

Turning to the newcomers, he just said, "We move".

All nine Klingon loyalists moved through the corridor on their way to the bridge. Emerging in the top of a T shaped junction, a single door was there which would lead them through the long corridor to the bridge. Tapping the controls, Khaval noted they were locked.

"Krantz and Khant, run a bypass if you can - the rest of you ready weapons...If we cant open this door, we may have to blast it open."

(Computer Ops + LUC, average out and roll please ~Almighty GM)

15:22, Today: Krantz tai Barshtoc rolled 30 using 1d100.  Need a 26 for com ops+ Luc  Averaged.

Missed as usual

The door opened to a foot wide gap - then the disruptor fire hit the door from the other side, causing the others nearby to scatter to the sides as a few bolts came through the gap, missing Khant and Krantz respectively.

"Grenades!", Khaval yelled as Korg and Khant grabbed their explosives and tossed them through the opening, followed by an explosion and several Klingon traitors yelling on the other side and then smoke came through.

"Pry that door open!", Khaval said and several loyalists sprang to the task, grabbing the ends of the door & and widening the gap.

Beyond the smoke, several Klingons lay dead in the corridor.

 When the door was pryed open enough  for Krantz to see, he rolled a sonic grenade through the doors and waited for the flash that would indicate it had destroyed the organic matter within its area of effect. The Weapons Officer would then attempt to move through the doors slug thrower at the ready.

The loyalists walked the long corridor to the Ripper's bridge, stepping over the dead bodies of the traitors.

"We will have one more door to bypass - no doubt they will be ready for us...Ready slugthrowers when we get there - I want no consoles damaged", Khaval said.

  As Krantz stepped over the bodies,he looked to see if any of them where from Security. He hated that branch,but if non where present,it might be Security was not with the mutineers. A potential for added allies in the reclaiming of the ship for the Empire.

 The Weapons Officer moved past Khavel and into the lead. "Captain, I wish to scout ahead to determine the disposition of the traitors."

Khaval looked at Krantz for a moment, weighing the weapons officer's words.

"Ghos", he said, allowing him to proceed.

 Krantz nodded and took off down the corridor remaining close to the left bulkhead,to give himself the best arch of fore for his Slug thrower. He would stop to listen from time to time,investigate any doors,and report via personal communicator to his Captain on his progress.

Krantz goes on ahead. Most doors he find are small armories which are empty, service access panels or unused storage lockers. The corridor ends at the doors leading to the bridge - sealed, no doubt.

 Krantz went into a one knee kneel position,and aimed his slug thrower at the bridge doors. He activated his communicator. " Krantz to Khaval, I am at the doors to the bridge,and have encountered no resistance. Awaiting orders."

"Stand by", came Khaval's reply. The group made it to Krantz's location and Khaval looked at the doors.

"No way to blast through that - it would take hours with either grenades or disruptors...Khant, Krantz - if you would?"

(Same as before with the doors ~Almighty GM)

20:51, Today: Krantz tai Barshtoc rolled 41 using 1d100.

Fail

Khant & Krantz try to bypass the door but fail to do so.

"Try again - we need control of this ship", Khaval said, insistence in his voice.

(Reroll & add +10 to your roll ~Almighty GM)

15:00, Mon 19 Sept: Krantz tai Barshtoc rolled 40 using 1d100.

With Krantz & Khant's collaboration, they manage to open the doors - and are meeted with disruptor fire almost immediately coming from within the bridge. All the loyalists hit the deck or head for the cover of the doorframe.

(DEX+LUC & average please ~Almighty GM)

 When the disruptor beams stabbed outward from the bridge, towards the now open door. Krantz dove into the entrance of the bridge, wildly firing his heavy caliber slug thrower in an attempt to make the traitors take cover.


20:58, Today: Krantz tai Barshtoc rolled 50 using 1d100.  Marksmanship  Archaic.
20:57, Today: Krantz tai Barshtoc rolled 63 using 1d100.


 Fail and Fail.

Krantz boldly enters the bridge, firing his slugthrower to make the traitors go for cover. Some do but a disruptor bolt hits him in the leg, making the weapons officer collapse to the ground.

"COVER FIRE!", Khaval yells from the doorway as slugthrower fire erupts from the doorway behind Krantz. Another disruptor bolt hits nearby Krantz.

(25 damage from Endurance and your left leg is useless - what do you do? ~Almighty GM)
