A Force roll then... which as ever, you find Easy (only 4s needed).
A success! An exposed cable part from one of the power relays snakes over to the Guildmaster and makes contact with his foot, sending a surge of power though him
(These things are not built with good safety in mind)
Roaring with anger, he grabs the cable with a hand and, through being electrocuted, is making to tear the whole thing loose.
This gives you time to get further away!
You hear a whining sound overhead. Someone has tried to escape the chaos in an aircar... and someone has shot out its engine. Trailing smoke, it is out of control and coming into crash very near you!
And indeed you make it!
The car crashes away behind you, and slides into one of the shattered buildings.
This destroys the last remaining foundation of that building, and it topples over to one side. This creates a collapsing cascade which, some fifteen seconds later, takes out a major support on one of the great power nodes nearby. Slowly, with a great metallic renting noise, that node tower topples own towards the street you were just on.
The tower's fall is broken by the row of shattered buildings, but when it lands the end of the node shatters open, releasing an enormous cascade of power. The node, somehow, has remained live, and power is continuing to flow into it. Combined with all the exposed power discharges around, the main node discharge creates a giant purple wall of energy, crackling loudly, that neatly separates the street in two- between you and the guildmaster.
That was handy.
Hmmm ok well I doubt anyone orchestrated that to help Edana out as no-one really knows she is there and she certainly has no allies around. Clearly some bigger reason for someone to want to block that path or keep the guildmaster out of things. Edana will take one last look around the site where the aircar came down for anything notably unusual before continuing to head on to the Spaceport.
Okidokey!

A short distance away, Edna, you are making your way through a narrow set of streets- slums of some sorts, you think, all twisty alleyways- as you try to cut through towards the starport. Dead bodies are all around- the security foces have been through here.
Your attention is caught by a quiet clattering noise nearby- like small objects falling.
