STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

Oh? What about it sounds familiar to Rianna?

No time! Tradd is getting his men into position and telling you that if you're going to intercept the Sith army, you're going to have to go now!

"May the Force be with you," he sends you off with.

Hmph!

Rianna will make her way to the edge of the jungle and nimbly lead Team Ambush up into the trees, after instructing Brath to obey any orders Xavier gives. If Nuvar has an insight as to which plants to avoid, this would be a great time to know.

Dak follows Rianna, helping Nuvar where needed.

Oh, and Rianna will look after Tilith, if Xavier wishes.

Then you're off! Nuvar can tell you immediately that the plants you want to avoid are... all of them. Closer to the Temple the plantlife is less hostile. Further in, it starts getting unfriendly.

In fact, Nuvar has trouble identifying what kind of tree won't try to eat you if you hide in it. He manages to find one that is incredibly thorny and unpleasant.

-

Xavier- Tradd is barking orders to his men to set up the defenses. Short-range artillery pieces and repeating blaster cannons are being set up across the front.

Commander Forb drifts in your direction. He says nothing, just watching the set-up.

Xavier will have let Tilith go with the Ambush team.

Perhaps having more time he tries to see why this seems familiar to him.

"Commander Forb, what are you thinking?"

Xavier reaches out and tries to get a feeling for the men's moral.

The feeling is gone, Master Kolarn.

"That this is going to be very messy," Forb says. "If the Sith are sending in a ground troops only assault, they won't be sending just goons armed with blasters."

Xavier would like to use Jedi Lore to try and think about what could of caused the disturbance.

"I feel you maybe right Commander. Right now though we have a chance, there is hope." The Master places a kind hand on Forb's shoulder before heading towards Tradd.

"How are preparations looking?"

Rianna will carefully make her way up into the trees that Nuvar indicates won't eat them, gesturing for the others to do so as well.

"Carefully," she says. "We can't afford any casualties, especially not before we actually start to fight."

Can she sense about how far off the incoming attackers are?

Dak will climb up the indicated trees, his scales offering him more protection.

Also try to sense the Sith forces.

It is hard to sense specific lifeforms here. The jungles of Vorkuta are teeming with life. You do sense them coming though, in sensing how god-awfully furious they are. You hear blasterfire nearby.

-

Tradd is getting his men into position. He can't be sure how they will fair today. He does not know the exact count for the Sith soldiers being sent against the Temple. But with the collection of Jedi in attendance, he is at least hopeful that things will go your way.

If there are no protests, I will begin the fight tonight or tomorrow!

Fine by me!

Yaaay fight.

Let's do it

Master Kolarn, of course, is still at the Temple. He can hear the blasterfire in the distance.

-

In a moment, the Sith soldiers are among you! You are hidden up in the trees and they are distracted with their task of shooting everything around them. They are unloading into trees, plants, the ground, anything that looks like it might be alive. There are soldiers moving ahead of them with flamethrower packs, scorching their way through the jungle.

You are greatly outnumbered in this area, and more are sweeping through in the area around.

If I can get your opening actions, please- I don't have the sheets with me at this time, so I can plug those in when I return home.

Tilith has drawn a pistol, while the other two Padawans have their lightsabers at the ready.

Updated! Have at it.

Do we keep our allies in this Rexxx or are they not here?

Considering you are fighting the Sith, Trax won't be born for a few thousand years!
