STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The White Tower of Halloy

It is a big open hallway carved from white stone that leads to the lift.

You certainly can! It will be a Force roll to do so. Denzral gets his Precision bonus with this.

Worth a shot. Denz will roll.

Three successes! I'll call it completed. The fire alarm triggers all by itself (or so it seems) and the klaxon begins blaring its alert. The Knights now begin to move to pre-assigned fire evacuation points, and some of the other personnel in the Tower are making to escape.

If this is enough of a distraction Denzral will make his move to get toa higher level, and to a balcony or window. (Did the tower have a lift shaft) might be easier to climb that.) If that is the case, I will go with the lift idea... Do I have any idea where the king is? And I'll try and keep Soapy in tow.

It certainly is! Denzral can mix in with the fleeing crowd as he makes his way to a balcony or window.

The lift and the shaft it operates in are lined with sensors. You wouldn't get terribly far before coming up against opposition.

The King will in his court at this time.

Soapy is not going to be able to scale the side of the Tower.

Denzral will hand Soapy a comlink. Did he happen to get any holographic or audio evidence of what happened in the caves?

You did not ask him to, so no.

I would assume audio would be temporarily stored in his memory... so I still have no proof... and I probably would have asked him only I wasn't informed he was still with me until we were in the 'throne room' place. Oh well... 🙁 Soapy must have something in his memory banks to help me prove my case, surely he takes a sort of screen capture to help him remember events as he goes along, like still images, or short video snippets?

Whats going on on the comlink?

Nothing new. You will be notified if anything major occurs. Mainly it is someone barking orders for positions and where to search.

It would be Fix-It to access Soapy's memory banks; he does have them normally accessible in a format that he can share. Denzral is not bad off in that department but you need time to do it.

And, again, Soapy cannot come with you by that route.

Denzral will push on to a second storey balcony (how many floors up is the Court), Soapy in tow. I should have handed the 'Distraction' a comlink too... ah well.

The court is at the very top of the Tower.

You pass your Intrusion check and slip up to a small balcony on the second floor. You can begin your ascent! This will be difficult but doable.

If there is enough cover, Denz will duck down and extract the needed information from the droids memory and- actually... "Soapy find somewhere safe." Denz will begin the climb.

Admist the hectic evacuation, Denzral has a spare moment to get what he needs from Soapy, and then he's off! It will be Strength rolls to climb up the Tower.

Okay, not his best attribute, but certainly not his worst....

It is a little easier starting off, as the White Tower gradually slants down towards its base. There are very few handholds, unfortunately, so it will need some grappling chord to get you all the way up. We can smudge things a little and assume that Denzral carries some as part of his typical Jedi gear.

Your roll goes fine for the first segment. You are about a third of the way up and have a decent view over the Tower's gate and into the city. You can see that it is getting chaotic out there; the Knights are mobilizing out in the city as well.

What does it look like the Knights are doing?

Patrolling the streets.

Anything in the air or is it only ground forces at the moment? Denz will press on.

As far as you can tell, air traffic in and out of the city has ceased.

You've made it about halfway up the Tower when you fail your next Strength roll. Rather than slipping and falling to your death, this simply means that you cannot find another way to move on up the Tower. It would take you too much time to find another foot or handhold.

Is their a nearby balcony that Denz can swing to? Also, can Denz use Push/Pull the help guide the grapple chord up?
