Yup, it IS their escape route. It's also yours!
Actually, Fire, sabre throwing is in but it has its risks.
Marcus, a blistering wave of fire is trying to stop you reaching Xeth. The four with the astrolabe are heading to the lift. You cannot see Gundy from your position inside reception.
Sorry, Xeth, but without a plan or help you are still unable to do much more thsan defend yourself.
This could get me killed but I am 100 % sure it is the will of the Force so it shall be done
I take an enormous leap upwards, the highest I have ever jumped before, when I am at the the highest point, I cast out a force push and pull thingy to one of my attackers to get him in the way of the others, when I land, I crouch all the way down taking my sabre again and I start rolling towards the men with the astroblade
The ancient sabre hummed steadily in Kellan's hand. It didn't feel like her own of course, which had molded to the shape of her hand over the years, but it was the weapon of a Jedi nontheless and she moved slowly forward, slashing at her opponents with its blade, trying to cut her way toward the disappearing Astrolabe.
(Actually... Ancient doesn't seem to be the right word... something is troubling you but there is no time for that now!)
Well, the Astrolabe is disappearing through the door to reception, Gundy, on the top right wall whilst you are at the bottom right... there are a fair few people in the way!
There is a ping! and the lift doors open.
When I am about 7 feet away of the ppl who are with the astrolabe I get up, keep the sabre ready to block and myself ready to dodge and I say:"that thing is going to stay right here"
once I have said this I make a diagonal step forward right towards the closest bad guy(keeping my sabre in my right hand and holding my right arm about 10 cm above y head sabre going down) when I have placed my first foot down, I make a spin to the left (my arm comes down diagonal till it about 1m50 from the ground) when I make the spin I keep my sabre horizontal if the spin ends I make a very fast X with my sabre
With stuff flying around back and forth and one of the hover cars downed, this has now gone from being a well-planned ambush to an insanely dangerous melee. Victory is not an option here but in this chaos you may just be able to get what you want...
You are at the reception door, Gundy. Marcus is guarding the lift; some men are just moving to deal with him.
Shouts of surprise and falling people clash through reception. The Astrolabe clashes to the ground with a nasty clang, but it seems intact.
The first two up are you, Gundy, and the leader you spoke to earlier. As he scrambles to his feet, you see him looking with a somewhat perplexed expression at the writing at the base of the Artifact.
