Edna slashes at her climbing assailants, attempting to decapitate them in their unarmed state (usuing both hands to climb). very quickly she rolls to the back of the control station and slides down, relived at the portection it now gives her. Enough to start cutting her way through the thin metal walls with her lightsabre.
Just so you know, grav shafts aren't ladders; they slowly lift you up or down. The guards fire upwards at you as you pop oyur head over and you use your sabre to block.
The walls melt quickly as you start to cut your way through. More guards are arriving in the area. And the proton torpedo launcher fires in your general direction...
Several blocks down where Quam disappeared, he emergs from the shadows when carefully looking out a window on the top story. It was quiet here, yet he did sense danger. Not close, but near....
"Asharan likes to die, I think", Quam thought, "I'll be willing to oblige, but not necessarily now."
Force senses at full alert, Quam climbs out of the window and then spiderlike up the wall. At the top he peeks over the edge... nothing to see... at least his ship is near.
"This is where the fun begins", Quam thought. Slowly he swing his right leg onto the roof as he takes out his tommy blaster. The dreaded blaster begins to make a soft humming sound as it charges it's destructive fire power.
Sudden;y very aware of the danger she is in, Edna realises that her attempts to cut through the wall are futile. Quickly she slashes away at the unstable floor by her feet. She feels the supports as they strain and break beneath her and suddenly she is plummeting down. Using the force she braces herslef for the impact as she hits the ground of the level below. Her reflexes are quick and before the dust has even begun to settle, she rolls away from the hole above her and darts behind a nearby weapons storage container and quickly opens it looking for any kind of blaster.
It's quiet queeq... very quiet., All you can sense right now is the Jedi fighting somewhere near you...
-
Edna, you are now in the 'basement' of the upper level; there is nowhere lower to go unless you are planning to cut your way into the volcano itself (not sensible).
Hmm... there seem to be SOME old weapons in here... though to be honest, you'd be luck if you can shoot straight with one of these things.
More clattering above; you are being hunted again and it is difficult to see a way out of here...
Fear was beginning to set in. Edna was stuck in a hle with nowhere to go and about 20 armed guards about to descend on her. She stations herself behind what appears to be some sort of control panel to get a better view of her hole but still have a small amount of cover. Any moment they would be jumping down. She could feel the presence of several guards gathered around the hole. This was her chance. If she could take them off guard. Before they areready! She takes her Sabre in her right hand, switching it on and as she does so she reaches out to the force, feeling the full extent of her own fear and hatred for Hale. She had to makeit through this if only to watch him die for his trechery! With all the strength of heart she has, she lets her emotions go and basks in the force as the floor around the whole she made begins to destablise under the feet of the guards. She poises herself ready with herlightsabre for their fall!
You start to concentrate. Nothing happens for what seems a long, long time... and then the metal floor starts to buckle... and break... and collapse...
A huge chunk of metal falls down, and a pirate starts to fall though. He grabs desperately onto the sides and tries to pull himself up, his feet dangling.
Edna volleys the shots effortlessly with her lightsabre. The sudden appearance of the proton torpedo launcher sends her heart racing. Without even thinking about what she is doing, she focuses on the weapon and lets all her rage and strength loose in the force with an almighty scream, not really knowing what she was intending to happen.
All you can see is a mass of twisted metal. The ceiling above you- the floor to them- has warped and malformed, drawn itself into a huge metal mass around the hole, blocking it entirely and probably weakening the entire floor of the concourse.
Out of the metal sticks a few limbs, occasionally twitchinh., including one holding a bent, twisted, useless proton torpedo launcher.
You can still hear movement upstairs, and feel fear...
Quam has crossed many rooftops. He had used the shadows caused by clouds blocking the moon to his advantage.
EDITED- Small problem queeq. Your ship is on top of the volcano, on the smaller landing pad on top of the base. Before you can get to that you will have to deal with the problem of climbing the volcano or using the cable car.
As he slipped down a tall building with many windows, Quam landed on the floor near a workshop. As he peeked inside, there were a couple of speeders. Only two ready to go though. Quam quickly checked the control and picked the fastest one.
A loud noise broke the silence of the empty streets as Quam blasted out with his speeder. When he rose above the buildings into the night's skies he headed towards the volcano where his ship was parked. It would only take a few minutes to get there.
Indeed, at speed you will be up top in a matter of minutes.
As you pass up the gap between the lower and upper sections, you spy something. At the concourse where the cable car reaches the top, there is a battle taking place. You see laser shots, and a LOT of dead bodies...
A purple sabre, as well. Kuylen!
And the cable car is descending, with one occupant inside. And the cable car is under attack by two pirate fighters!
No, more than two. Another four are baking around the side of the volcano now. Wait... they are heading for you!
"I'm getting tired of this", Quam sighed as he drew his tommy blaster. The fighters were still out of range. Quam inserted a contraption to his tommy blaster which was humming almost inaudibly.
Then, Quam aims his blaster at the first fighter. A small light on the blaster suddenly begins blinking like crazy. Quam pulls the trigger and a Azeem dart projectile blasts towards the fighter. The speeder shocks vehemently under the pressure of the tommy blaster. But Quam had calculated the impact, he made the speeder swirl down as if in trouble. Close to the surface of the volcano slope Quam pulls up and flies his speeder into a dark crevice like canyon near the cables of the cable car, out of sight of any scanners.
Your aim is good and it hits the ship full on; you are diving for cover before you can see the results but in time to see one of the fighters attacking the cable car wobble erratically.
The fighters bank around trying to see what to do next. At SOME point, you will need to break across clear ground... and it;s not an easy ride even at the best of times.
