STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The White Tower of Halloy

Started by REXXXX59 pages

Lothar is trying to reach forward and pry your lightsaber from your hands when you suddenly exert yourself and throw him off! He stumbles back and leans against the cave wall to maintain balance. This gives you only a moment in which to act... but pursuing Lothar with the intent to kill him now would just resume the duel. Instead, you throw both hands forward in a powerful gesture.

Lothar only has a moment to raise his brow in surprise when you hurl him backward through the cave, letting him land heavily back in the altar room.

Denzral is clear to escape! Soapy has already entered the lift and has it ready, but there is a turn of movement between Denzral and safety.

Numerous Knights have entered the area to apprehend you.

Denzral will tap reflection, and run for the lift.

(You should just tap everything! Reflection doesn't really raise your defense, just lets you kill more things)

Tap everything then. But I was saving it, because Denz may need it if there are Knights at the top of the lift. 🙁

The lift is a long way down. You will have a moment of rest.

As it stands, that advice is sound and Denzral manages to break through the Knights! His lightsaber is a blur as he reflects numerous blasts back at the soldiers and drives his saber into a few who stand too close. The last Knight between him and freedom makes the mistake of standing his ground, and Denzral rolls successes with all of his dice in a fluid decapitation that ends with the Jedi sliding in the lift.

Soapy hits the switch and the lift begins to ascend.

Can Denzral pick up a blaster carbine?

Denzral actually has had his pistol on his person this whole time.

You mean I could have shot him? Guess they don't normally expect Jedi to carry blasters. Do I have any Bacta packs handy?

Shooting Lothar would not have been terribly effective.

You don't have enough time to treat yourself, but I can allow you to heal 5 damage by resting. The lift is ascending slowly, and a long way.

Soapy has hotwired the lift so that nobody can stop it.

Can I rest more if he stops the lift?

You sense you do not have much time to waste.

"Soapy speed the lift up!" I say urgently.

The lift trundles upward as fast as it can.

Eventually, it comes to a halt at the top of the shaft. The grating slides open into a stone hallway. Soapy bip-boops and rolls out quickly.

Denzral moves just ahead of the droid's top speed, not quite willing to leave his friend behind. "Thanks my friend, you saved my butt back there! Keep rolling!"

He regretted having to leave the fight, but the odds were against him. He'd only been lucky. He looks to whats ahead. "Nice move on the extinguisher, by the way Soapy!"

His thoughts then turned to Enah, He wished he could have gotten to her.

The stone corridor ends at another lift. It does not appear to go anywhere but up, but there is only a stone ceiling above the lift.

"Could be anything up there... I wonder if it's the white tower's dungeon?" He asked absent mindedly as he entered the lift. Can he sense anything above?

You think so... somewhere familiar.

"Crank it up, Soapy." Denzral says.

Soapy boodles that he can't find the access panel for the lift.

Are there any electrical panels? Denzral gives a good look at the lift.
