"Fifty meters, give or take," Fennec corrects Bane scornfully as she pushes him aside to line up a shot. She curses a moment later as her blast strikes the radar dish with a loud clang.

Bane fires a blast of his own regardless, which still fails to strike the Duros though it does make the sniper flinch as it strikes the balcony wall centimeters above his head.

OOC: Bane Malar dealt 17 points of vitality damage to Kurdaan Klesst.

The Duros has no trouble locating the source of the blasts, signalling at the pile of crates the party are crouched behind as a moment later five more assassins charge out of the docking bay and across the street towards them.

OOC: Xizran rolled 25 using 1d20+6. Initiative.
Fennec Kang rolled 16 using 1d20+7. Initiative.
Bane Malar rolled 16 using 1d20+2. Initiative.
Vek Stro'to rolled 12 using 1d20+6. Initiative.
Layla Secura rolled 8 using 1d20+6. Initiative.
GenoHaradan Agents rolled 6 using 1d20+2. Initiatives.

Xizran stays firmly where he is.

"Deal with them, Fennec. And Bane, this time, try not to miss," he orders.

OOC: Xizran is aiding another for Fennec.

Crouched behind their crates, Fennec and Bane open fire on the foremost of the charging attackers. The unfortunate Trandoshan is forced to drop to the ground and dart backwards to avoid being struck by the well aimed shots. He and his companions seem to think better of their reckless assault and hastily fall back to duck behind crates and cannisters on the opposite side of the street.

OOC: Fennec Kang dealt 28 points of vitality damage to GenoHaradan Agent.
Bane Malar dealt 19 points of vitality damage to GenoHaradan Agent.

"We need to retreat," Layla calls to Xizran over the blaster fire, remaining hidden behind the pile of crates, "We're outgunned and that gunship is likely to show up any minute. We should make for my contact."

As she speaks Fennec is struck by a blast in the shoulder, gasping as she collapses behind her crate. Beside her Bane narrowly ducks as a series of blasts whizz over his head and strike the crate above him.

OOC: GenoHaradan Agent dealt 18 points of vitality damage to Fennec Kang.
GenoHaradan Agent dealt 6 points of wound damage to Fennec Kang.
GenoHaradan Agent dealt 32 points of vitality damage to Bane Malar.

"I hate to say it but I think the Twi'lek lady is right on this one," Bane agrees as blaster bolts continue to pepper the crates about them.

Xizran curses as Fennec is hit, looking like he'd have much preferred it if Bane had been their target (which he ought to have been, as the one ordered to fire first.)

"Fine," he says curtly. "But your contact had better not turn out to be a traitor as well."

"We can still make it to the ship," Fennec groans, panting heavily as she manages to prop herself up against the side of the crate, fumbling for another medpac.

"So where exactly is the contact?" Bane asks Layla quickly, ignoring Fennec in favor of non-suicidal options.

"He is no traitor," Layla says reprovingly to Xizran, "He is located in the Saaral District."

Xizran's isn't the only blank face in the party.

"Saaral District?" Bane repeats, appearing to know the city better than any of the conscious party members do, "By speeder that isn't far, but that's a two hour hike on foot, not counting the fact that most of us are at death's door. Perhaps I can suggest an alternative?" he pauses to stick his blaster rifle over the crate and fire a couple of random shots before continuing, "A friend of a friend owns a cantina not far from here and he owes me a favor from a while back. He's got some apartments upstairs we could crash at for the night while we rest up and make a plan to reach this contact of yours?"

Layla considers this for a moment, before nodding.

"We don't have much of a choice it seems."

"And just how," Xizran hisses, "are you planning on dodging our friends over there on foot? Counting on them being nice and leaving us alone because they think we're just the local street gang, mm?"

"That I can take care of," Layla replies with a weak smile as she ignites her lightsaber and proceeds to cut through the rough stone wall of the building beside them, "If you have any grenades it might be a good idea to throw them as we leave to buy us as much time as possible."

"I don't. Believe it or not, I don't walk around with military grade explosives on me. I leave that to my minions. Bane, you throw one."

"Upgraded to minion, eh? I'll take it," Bane replies, sounding pleased with himself as he withdraws a frag grenade from his pack, "Just say when."

"She literally just said 'when', Bane. If you wish to be a minion, learn to read the room."

"Uh, right," Bane mutters, hurling the grenade into the air.

"Let's go!" Layla says, leading the way through the opening in the wall into what appears to be storage facility filled with rows of stacked crates and cannisters.

Xizran hurries in after her.

"Fennec. Shoot the CCTV terminals. Let's at least make anyone watching us guess which way we went."

Fennec sighs resignedly as she pulls herself up, scoops up her blaster rifle and follows Xizran through the opening. She glances about, swiftly locating and blasting the pair of old holocams in the top corner of the warehouse which may or may not actually have still been functioning.

"All right big guy, here we go," Bane says to Stro'to's limp form as he hoists the Twi'lek up into a now all-to-familiar position on his shoulders, seemingly unperturbed as he clunks the crime lord's head on the narrow opening and sets off after the others.

OOC: Bane Malar rolled 20 using 1d20. Strength.
