Nightshade: Way of Shadow

[GM Craig]

Nigtshade learned at an early age that patience was the key to stealth. Braced into the upper corner of where the bulkhead meets the door frame, some 10 meters off the ground, he ignores screaming muscles and exercises his patience.

He watches the attempted suicide of Keshani, and the exchange between Collan and the figure in dark armour, and still he was patient. He calculated odds when Collan walked beneath him, and tempting a target as he was, there was more at stake. Finally, all the troopers are gone, and the corridor is silent. He is alone - or is he?

One of his companions had not been paraded past him in binders. Nim Naja was still loose somewhere nearby, along with her droid.

[Nightshade]

Relaxing quietly to the ground, the Shinobi eased out his pent up breath and decided what to do next.  He was, of course, more than used to working on his own, he didn't feel right abandoning Nim to her own devices, and the droid could be useful to help scout.  Moving like a ghost down the corridor he stayed to the shadows and moved slowly and methodically to search for the woman and her pet machine.

Actions: sneak and search

[GM Craig]

As Nightshade skulks down the corridor, he hears Nim's voice in his comlink. A foolish risk - the signals could be traced.

?Kimosabe, if you're still out there. The rest of the group has been hauled off. Nothing changes, I'm continuing the original plan.?

He then hears a soft footstep ahead of him in the darkened control room.

[Nightshade]

Nightshade increased the speed of his steps looking to make contact with Nim before she did anything else foolish that might bring undue attention down on him.  He really cared nothing for her or the rest of the group, other than Niil, who he still needed.  So if stunning her or killing her was necessary to keep himself in the clear to finish his task, he wouldn't hesitate.  He kept his eyes open as he approached the woman, there may still be a trap or other enemies around as yet unseen.

Actions: close the distance with Nim as quickly, but safely as possible.  Silence her by any means necessary...would prefer to keep her upright and working with him, but if he needs to take violent action, then so be it.
