She looks at Niil. "Of course he said not to find him. He is a knight, and a troubled man who expects to die today. He may die even with your help. But without it, his death is certain. Nevertheless, he is being led into an ambush. I want you to even the odds. Quickly, to the central gallery." From within Trax's arms, she points down a corridor. "That way."

The spec rolled his eyes at Niil's mention of being senior rank.  Like that mattered.

"I don't like this." Trax grumbled.  He wasn't even sure his blasters would still work, or for how long.

"But who am to argue, I'm just the shuttle service."

Collan drew the heavy blaster he'd borrowed.

"Let's do this." But being a good medic he waited for everyone to get going as a group.

Niil cracked a wry grin.  "I sure as hell don't like this either, but seeing as there doesn't seem to be any other prisoners around . . ."  As they headed towards the central gallery, Niil unconsciously swapped the power pack on his heavy blaster pistol for a fresh charge.  "Collan, snap a fresh pack in that blaster.  Just in case."


OOC:  Sorry, I was trying to suggest that although I do technically have rank, I wasn't trying to use it as a hammer here.  That's why I gave Trax and Collan the choice.

Collan popped the current pack and quick snapped a new one in.

"Loaded and locked."

She leads you down a series of corridors, through now open blast doors, through to a central gallery. Eventually she taps Trax on the shoulder. "You may set me down here, my strong young man."

Trax sets her down gently. She folds her legs beneath her and places her hands on her knees. "You must leave me now. Through the next door is where the ambush is going to happen. The knight is facing a Hand of the Emperor, a man with Jedi training skilled in the dark arts of the Force. This man has brought along a personal guard. The guard are waiting, hidden, to ambush the knight when the two of them enter the next chamber. There will be five of them. Ensure they do not interfere.

"This is important - if you decide to engage the Emperor's Hand, only do so once you have taken care of the personal guard. And be cautious - the Hand will try to use you against the knight if he can. I will do what I can to aid you from here. Go now, they will be here in seconds."

Trax couldn't understand why he was here.  His survival instincts were screaming at him that this was a very bad idea, but yet something wouldn't let him walk away.  With a sigh of resignation he spoke.

"Can you see where they're hiding?" he asked the old woman.

"There are supports in the chamber that hold a suspended floor. They are hiding behind the supports."

[ooc: so are we coming in at the guards' level?]

Collan nodded and checked the setting and power levels on his blaster. And put a powerpack at the ready in case he had to hotswap.

"Are they below us then or are we on level with the guards?"

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. A few seconds later, she answers. "They are above you."

"Trax...Niil...ready then?" Collan was a little eager to get to the fight and hopefully save the Knight.

Trax gave a nod.  He had more questions but did they have time.  How spread out where they, where could they climb up, was it dark enough to sneak up on them, were they anything like the imperial they'd faced earlier...he was about to find out.  Deep down, the hunter had a really bad feeling about this.

"More Dark Jedi . . ."  Niil couldn't check a shudder of fear and revulsion this time.  He and Master Dhoresh had been relentlessly hounded by them, and Niil could still see them coming, lightsabers glowing a lurid red.

Letting out his breath slowly, he gave a reluctant nod and muttered, "Ready as I'll ever be.  Don't let that Dark Jedi get into your heads.  Swinging a lightsaber isn't the only thing they can do."  Niil raised his blaster, and was somewhat surprised to see his hand steady.

The old woman closes her eyes, and you get the feeling she is not with you anymore. But at the same time, you feel somehow renewed and energized, as if your recent exertions had not taken place.

[OOC: Everyone gets a temporary Force point (it expires at the end of the battle, whether you use it or not). You also all get 10 interim CP's, though you cannot spend them on skill at this time.]

You move forward, and Trax activates the door panel. The door slides down, revealing a cylindrical room several decks high. As various levels, there are steel-mesh floors suspended by large metal pillars. You can see down a dizzying height. The floors do not cover the entire area of the open space, and there is about a 5m perimeter that opens up into a fall of at least five decks. It also appears the mesh floors open like drawbridges, though all are closed at the moment.

Looking up, you can see a shadowy figure dressed in black above you hiding in the shadow of one of the pillars. A force lance can be seen glinting in the dim light.

There are two stairways that lead up and down from this point.

Off in the distance somewhere, you hear the whirr, thrum and clash of lightsabres. Flashes draw your eye two levels above you, where two figures are fighting.

[Actions?]

The room is dark, but echoey. The stairs are about 30m from your current position. There is a perimeter of about 10m outside the pillars that still has mesh floor.

Niil caught Trax's attention, pointed at the bounty hunter's vibroblade, then pointed at the lone figure they could see.  The finger Niil drew across his throat was succinct enough a message.


OOC:  I wanna have us sneak up and try to take this dude by surprise.  Trax will probably have better luck damaging this guy with a vibroblade that we will with our blasters.  Watching for the other bad guys too.
