STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Rescue

Dak will stay hidden while Rianna kills this single person.

Just one? Well, with any luck, Rianna can kill off that one before anyone else appears...

Having to have come close for Rianna to be spotted, she only needs to step forward and run the native through to kill him. Which she does, his cry of alarm turning to a cry of pain. He plops into the mud.

That is when a smoothed rock zips out of the darkness and strikes Rianna in the side for 6 damage, leaving a solidly bruised rib. Two more fly past you, vanishing into the fog as quickly as they pop out of it.

...a rock. You've got to be kidding...

Rianna will shut off her lightsaber, which will hopefully make her a bit less visible, and use a Combat Push in the direction of where the rocks are coming from.

Switching off your lightsaber is all you need. The rocks stop coming immediately, and with the Combat Push you hear a frightened yelp and a thud.

More coming your way...

Hiding for the sake of opportunity!

Rianna will attempt to quickly and quietly move away and find somewhere to hide until they pass by.

The dice are more favorable to Rianna this time. As she slinks away from the dead bodies of sentries, she rolls a 20 on her Intrusion check and hides in the reeds. Dak rolls a 16 and remains hidden.

Dak quietly and carefully sneaks in the direction the rocks came from.

Rianna shall do the same, hopefully better than before.

The two of you converge on the direction from which the stones came, keeping low in the reeds to stay hidden. Dak rolls a comfortable 15, but Rianna rolls a 5... which Distract can fix! Rianna can perform a brief distraction of her choosing before Dak and Rianna spring up and drag the sentries- who are armed with primitive slings- into the reeds. Once they are dead, you sense that the sentries are not close enough to find you.

Well...continue on, shall we?

You reach the edge of the village, then, with no problem. Primitive dwellings, like igloos made of dried swamp mud and reeds. The bonfires have gone out, leaving the village in foggy darkness even as the sun starts to rise.

You are here, now what?

Is burning the place to the ground an option? innocent

Well, is there anyone there, for starters, and about how many do we sense?

You sense many, many people in the village, but few are stirring. The village will be quiet until daybreak, you would imagine. Or until the sentries give up searching for the killers and head back to the village to warn everyone...

Wholesale stealthy slaughter in the night yay!

Also look for weapon stashes and steal them.

And do it quickly. I want to intercept and kill the sentries before they make it back.

Is Dak going to hunt down weapons while Rianna hunts down sentries?

Sure, I suppose.

Rianna ventures back out into the fog. Observation for finding the sentries is useless here, and so we make a roll based on her Force rating. 8... not terribly difficult to sense their fear, and so you head in their direction. She makes an Intrusion check to creep up on them through the fog and mud... 6 is a pass. You come upon a group of them heading back towards the village, passing them quietly on their right and distracting them with a strange noise to the left...

Dak moves into the village, trying to find something that resembles a primitive armory. Intrusion is passed just fine... but what will you be looking for to find their weapons stash?
