Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

  K1 hurried as she tried to keep up with the Jedi Knight, her Padawans and the Clone troopers - all the while keeping in communications with the 'Reliance' and receiving updates from them along the way. It wasn't easy as the organics were faster in comparison, but the Protocol Droid kept moving nonetheless.

   The comlink chirped and she listened to another message, remarking with the word 'Understood' before she switched to the frequency that the Knight and the others used.

   "Commander Rellri, the 'Reliance' has finished their engagement with the Droid fighters. They report some damage, but the Separatist fighters are destroyed and will be able to assist you in a moment's time."

OOC: Using 1 manoeuvre to keep up with the group, attempting to avoid fire, should any Separatist fire in her direction.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

Jini is thrown back when the droids manage to singe her with several blasts. She is just too slow to get out of the way and there are too many blasts. She manages to deflect most of them, prioritising the most dangerous, like Master Benial had instructed her, but she can't get them all.

Almost out of breath, wounded and feeling like things are falling apart, Jini reaches out with the Force, hoping to pull the two droids close enough to hit with her weapon. But she can't find the inner calm to perform the maneuver, and instead manages to push the droids away, out of reach. As the two droids recover, she takes a moment to try to center herself and manages to calm down a little.


OOC: Well that was a bad one. http://orokos.com/roll/545283

Even with a free boost for attacking troops using ranged weapons in melee, a free maneuver to aim from the droid's threat, a maneuver of her own to aim again, she still managed 0 hits and 3 advantages. Amazing. She will use all three advantages to recover some strain.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

"Knight Relliri!" the Miraluka called out as he felt the fluctuations in the Force that told him of the injuries the Mon Calamari had been dealt.  His bright blue blade of light had only scored some minor injuries against the droids he was currently embattled with, and he managed to bring up his lightsaber behind his back just in time to deflect a stray blaster bolt from another droid that had gotten too close.  The bolt ricocheted off his lightsaber to cause a harmless burn mark against the ground.  While Miraluka could not see like humans could, they were also not restricted by the same forward cone of view as humans were.  It was like having eyes in the back of one's head as Miraluka could see the Force--a maneuver that was partially replicated by Force users of other races by feeling the flow of the Force around them.

Lashing forward suddenly with a kick to one of the droids to give himself a bit of breathing room, Tarrin tripped another one to provide an opening for the others behind him.  It felt like they were getting in over their heads now with no backup in sight. 

21:49, Wed 30 Aug: Tarrin Feruwi rolled no successes, 3 advantages using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 3A 1P 1B 2D with rolls of 8(A), 5(A), 7(A), 7(P), 1(B), 8(D), 8(D).  Lightsaber attack.

First two Advantages going to healing strain and the last one giving a Boost to the next attacker on our side.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

  The droid that was pushed away from Jini kept firing relentlessly at the Mon Calamari as she centered herself. But there was just too many to block and a few sizzling plasma darts got through her defense. The droid fired too many shots which caused his gun to temporarily overheat.

  The damaged battledroid engaged with Tarrin brought his rifle up, but his internal systems were shorting out and his hands twitched causing erratic shots that missed their mark. The automaton's fluids were leaking making the cave floor slippery.

OOC: The attack on Jini hit, so 11 damage. I believe that amounts to 6 after a soak of 5? The 3 threat causes the gun to overheat and the effect is next turn he is moved to the end of the initiative order.

 For Tarrin, the attack missed, but 1 advantage gives a boost to the next enemy to take action.

 Now everyone else can go.. I believe Den and Kalyx. The clones are holding their fire so they don't hit the combatants.

After all the success Den was having, it quickly disappeared as Jini is hit. He becomes erratic in his swings and finds himself causing more harm than good.

These dice are against us.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

  The clone troopers watched the battle unfolding at the cave entrance, they kept their weapons trained in the area, looking for a way to help the Jedi. Unfortunately that opportunity came in a bad way. The Mon Calamari shifted and ducked, blocked bolts and disabled a couple of the droids, but the last one hit her, and then again the droid kept firing, not giving her a chance to retaliate from the barrage. She managed to get in a quick jab, that did little more the score its durasteel frame.

  The B1 unit kept firing, Jini's lightsaber was out of position to block and a bolt struck across her temple, sending her backwards where she crumpled to the hard, rocky surface of the cave.

  Boss responded to the clear target of the B1 and kept his optical scope on it. After adjusting for drift, he opened fire again this time striking the droid center mass and sending it backward into a heap of smoldering metal.

  As soon as the Jedi Knight commander went down, Charlie's programmed medical training kicked in and he jumped to his feet and out of cover, going full speed toward the injured team leader. "Cover me Boss, the commander is down."

  Kalyx was running full tilt as his Jedi leader went down, spurring him to push himself harder. He charged into the melee growling loudly to get his fellow padawans to clear a path and he launched himself at the last automaton landing and spinning himself around with the momentum. His bright green blade effortlessly removed the canine-like robotic head from the B1 unit. The battledroid's body just went down to its knee joints and then fell forward onto it torso. The cavern noise was reduced to the light hum of the three sabers still ignited.

  Just as the last one fell, multiple explosions caused the cavern to shake and drop bits of loose rocks from the ceiling. Outside of the cave the group could see black smoke billowing from two spots on the Geonosian transport.   


  [Private to K1T1: Captain Batch called and said they've disabled engines and communications on the Geonosian vessel.]


OOC: end of structure time, no more enemies remain. Kalyx hit with one success and finished off the droid.

  The clone trooper covered the distance swiftly, despite his bulky white armor and heavy weapon in his gloved hands. He nodded to Den as he stopped beside both of them. "I'm on it."  He dropped down to his knee joints and held up the red auto-injector at the side of the Mon Calamari's neck. The soldier pressed the button to inject the light blue liquid through her scaly skin. The cool bacta capsule spread quickly through her system. He quickly assessed the injuries, especially the nasty burn on her head that took her down.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

   The Droid slowed as she watched several of the Separatist machines fire at the Jedi Knight and bolts struck the Mon Calamari's form and she was forced back by the impetus of the blaster's fire. A couple of the Padawans moved and attacked the Separatist droids, buoyed by the fire of the Republic soldiers. K1 opened the comm link to the Reliance and was about to call the ship in when the last of the enemy fell and explosions could be heard.

   "Situation is under control, Reliance, but if you possess a medical droid, please have it on standby. One member is down and will require medical attention."

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

Jini groans as the stims Charlie has injected her with start working. She lifts her head a little, the fish-like eyes swiveling to take in the situation. It is hard to decide which is worse, the pain from the blaster hit or the embarrassment from allowing herself to be taken down by a B1 battledroid while the padawans seemed mostly unhurt. The Jedi Knight decides to focus on the positive, that the padawans were all inn one piece.

She gingerly reaches out her hand and accepts Charlie's hand pulling her to her feet. "Thanks for that," she says, trying to act nonchalant about the whole thing. "I don't think there is any time to tend the wound now, so if you have another dose of whatever you gave me I would appreciate it," she says to Charlie.

She then looks at the others, trying to take in the situation. "What's our situation? Where is our ship? Tarrin, have you contacted the Genosian ship? We could just try to start by ordering them to surrender or be destroyed from the air."


OOC: Sorry for the delay. Jini is still badly wounded, but conscious.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

Den watches the jedi knight carefully, still concerned for Jini's well being. She might be up and moving, but it was obvious she was in bad shape. She probably would not survive another all out attack. "We've obviously lost the element of surprise. I don't think we have the manpower to request a surrender. We'll have to move quickly now before they find another way out of here."

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

"That's not necessarily the case, Den," the Miraluka responded.  When Jini had fallen, he had taken up a position to guard her and the others who had been seeing to her injury with his lightsaber still ignited and at the ready.  It appeared as if they were relatively safe from ambush for now.  Taking his left hand from his lightsaber hilt to hold it with just one hand, he gestured with his now free hand to the billowing smoke they could see coming from the Genosian ship.

"It seems like the Reliance has inflicted some damage.  I doubt they were expecting this kind of a response.  Perhaps it would be a good time to talk to them."

Setting his com frequency to an open channel, he began to speak into it with authority in his voice.

"This is Jedi Commander Tarrin Feruwi of the Republic.  You are surrounded and your escape routes have been cut off.  However, we are not here for you and have no wish to inflict further damage to you or your assets.  We are willing to negotiate for your surrender.  We only want General Daas Boggus, and we know he is there with you.  We await your response, but we are prepared to use force if necessary."

The padawan's aim was to use the fact that the ones guarding General Boggus had already lost a great deal of monetary value in losing the B1, B2, and Vulture Droids already sent against the Jedi and would be willing to surrender General Boggus simply by virtue of the fact that it was no longer profitable to keep him.  Especially when faced with the fact that they were in a losing situation.  And the amount of Jedi they had here seemed to imply the fact that they had more forces in wait than they actually had.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

  The Reliance set up a secure communication through the jamming to allow Tarrin's comlink access to the Geonosian ship with audio only.
 
Tarrin:
"This is Jedi Commander Tarrin Feruwi of the Republic.  You are surrounded and your escape routes have been cut off.  However, we are not here for you and have no wish to inflict further damage to you or your assets.  We are willing to negotiate for your surrender.  We only want General Daas Boggus, and we know he is there with you.  We await your response, but we are prepared to use force if necessary."


  The Separatist ship responded to the hail. ||"This is Captain Soney of the CIS Zergo. This unprovoked attack on a transport ship on a legitimate research mission to a CIS planet is an affront. This is why we have gone to war in the first place. You come in and attack us, provoke without warning and then ask to negotiate. This is highly illegal, even for the corrupt Republic. Stand down yourself and leave this system. We have monitored traffic in this system and there are no other Republic ships in the area. Your shipped appears to be a civilian ship and has somehow snuck through the cracks, but there is no such large force. We are far from helpless, and soon enough the planet's defense force will catch wind of this treacherous act!"||

"So, the hard way it is, then," Tarrin replied over the comm somewhat cavalierly.  "Well, I hope you don't regret the loss of more droids.  I won't be listening to your regrets later!"

With that, he switched off his comm before glancing over his shoulder at the others.  "Well then, it seems we will have to get the General on our own then," he stated evenly.  "So, we should prepare ourselves for the assault.  Knight Relliri, are you alright to lead?  Or would you prefer that I take point on this?"

What idiots.  He had given them a chance to surrender, but they would not take it.  No matter how reasonable he was.  Gripping his ignited lightsaber's hilt tightly with both hands before him, he prepared himself mentally for a more aggressive assault than he had anticipated having to perform.

They had brought this on themselves.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

"Too bad, they are making the wrong choice. Let's leave the ship for our vessel, for now. They have a huge advantage since they are airborne already. We need to head into the tunnels and find the general, quickly," Jini says, igniting her lightsaber again, as much for light as for being ready, just as Charlie injects her with a second stimpack. This one stings a little, but she feels the pain diminishing. She is still badly hurt, but as she flexes her arms she knows she'll have to stay strong. Letting the padawans lead the way into danger is out of the question.

"Let's go," Jini says, leading the way into the tunnel. As she moves, she turns to K1. "Can you tell Captain Batch to fire on the enemy ship only if they attempt to take off, and make it clear to them that this is how it will be? And tell him to get the hell out of there if they get reinforcements."

I repeat, the enemy ship is only to be fired upon if they attempt to retreat."

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

  The clone captain acknowledged the directions given as ordered by Relliri via her droid proxy. His tone was respectful, but contained a tone of frustration. Whether is was for not destroying the CIS ship or ordering them to possibly abandon the ground force is uncertain to the slicer droid's sentient behavioral recognition programming.

  Batch added hearing reports in the background from the bridge crew, "The CIS ship has managed to re-route power and get it shields up. We are still jamming their comms, but they aren't as vulnerable anymore. If they power weapons up, we will attempt to disable them."

Jini steels herself, and focuses her thoughts on the general. She closes her eyes for a moment, which might make it seem like she's about to feint, but when the bulbous eyes of the Mon Calamari Jedi Knight open again, they are filled with determination.

"He's close. Half a mile or so, underground. We need to move through the lava tunnel. Stay true, the Force is with us and we will not fail. Follow me, leave the ship to our ship for now."

Jini brandishes her lightsaber, both for light and protection, and heads into the tunnel, without looking to see if the others follow.

Den raises his eyebrows, impressed how much Jini has bounced back from the trauma she took from the droids. He is glad to see it, but wonders if there could be consequences if she pushes too much. They do have a mission to accomplish, however. He hopes he has the will to push through and follow his mentor's example.

He sets aside those thoughts and follows behind quickly, lightsaber in hand, but not ignited.

Re: Chapter 1 -  Mission Diverted

After what had happened to Jini, there was no way that Tarrin was going to go into the tunnel without his lightsaber in hand and ignited.  The brilliant blue blade of light caused the dirt and rock of the tunnel to take on a slightly sapphire tint as he followed afterward.  One he caught up to the Mon Calamari, he would make sure that he walked beside her out of concern that she may not be able to defend herself appropriately considering the nasty blaster fire she had taken.  Jedi or not, they were only so durable.  She was likely injured but still trying to push herself forward in order to keep their morale from crashing on their first mission.

After all, that was what Tarrin himself would have done.

Still, injuries had a tendency to impair a person's ability to react quickly, and the Miraluka wanted to make sure he could help her if they ran into any trouble underground.  It would only take one misstep in order for her injuries to become permanent, and he wanted to make sure that did not happen.

   K1 followed in behind the others, content to bring up the rear of the group. She watched while the others walked into the tunnel, lit by the Padawan Feruwi's lightsabre. Occasionally while they walked, the Droid would point her sensors behind them, just to make sure that they were not being followed.
