Then so it is done, and you survive the barrage of fire as the fifth prisoner is released!
Guards all over the darn place now...

Swap DW for Charge.
Expecting no help from Thea as she gets her affairs in order, Xeth draws his lightsaber and moves after the yeomen in control area west. He jumps into the air and comes down on one, kicking him down and destroying his blaster.
Tap Perfect Strike for added Defense, and tap Charge to attack first if I lose initiative.
Well, the charge is needed!
I have to rule that Andro goes down at this point; Sunda D-Leaps out of there, flipping backwards into the room.

Behind you stands Thea. By her side are her six Ladies-in-waiting, each hand in hand, the last one still half-lying on the floor having only just emerged from the carbonite; she is holding Kerim who is in turn holding one of the chain that Thea is in the midst of. The first one who was released- not very slong ago- is still blind, but is standing tall and seems reasonably together.
"Now we are ready," they all say at the same time.
Thea extends a casual hand, and the yeomen to the north by Argo are flung back with some force into a wall/
Ever the proactive fighter, Xeth does not simply stop the fight expecting Thea to handle it. He brings down the remaining yeomen by him, taking advantage of what is hopefully their surprise.
"That's more like it, Lady Thea," Xeth says, glad to have some support from her at last. "We need to get out of here."
Xeth keeps everyone covered with his sonic blaster, casting warning shots if trouble seems imminent. He is immensely relieved to be out of the prison, having been worried the entire time that they would be gunned down and encased in carbonite themselves.
Xeth wants to make the acquaintance of Thea's Ladies-in-Waiting, so they can meet their rescuers and so he can thank them for helping in the escape.
