STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- City in the Clouds

Ahh. Well okay. Go for it! Rianna's desperate to get out of there.

My apologies. There was an edit.

Damn you 😛

Seeing Myraline suddenly in front of her, Rianna stops dead for a moment, before starting to push her way back the way she came and away from her former Master, looking for a side corridor to duck down and gain some distance.

That would be all fine and dandy if you had passed the Intrusion check to not be seen... as it is, you did not. Myraline gestures toward you and begins to influence the crowd to move out of her way, and with the Wing Guard flanking her there is not a whole lot of opposition to her will. She will be upon you in moments if you keep trying to push your way out.

As she's already been spotted, Rianna sees no point in remaining cautious right now, and ignites her lightsaber.

"Out of my way!" she shouts, hoping to Intimidate people to move enough to let her through.

Scary Jedi laser sword is certainly enough to get people out of your way.

Where is Rianna going?

Away from Myraline!

She still wants to try and get out of there, but at the moment the primary concern is escaping Myraline. She's going to get away from this crowd and try and find side corridors to lose Myraline and the Guard, and then she'll go back to the maintenance shafts. If she can go lower, then she wants to do that, if not she's going to make an entrance to the hangars and either sneak aboard a ship or intimidate someone into letting her on.

The maintenance shafts are going to be your best bet for losing Myraline. She has a high Force rating which you can counter by having that Iron Will of yours, but there is still that pesky Master-Padawan connection...

Heh...yeah, Rianna's well aware that losing Myraline is going to be very difficult to do...

Rianna will dash back to the nearest entrance to the maintenance shaft, shutting down her lightsaber as she ducks inside. From there she wants to make her way lower into Cloud City, hoping that she can get enough of a lead to get away more easily.

You duck back into the maintenance shafts, then, with Myraline in pursuit at a distance. Myraline is not as agile as you, and you are hoping that she will get tripped up among the extensive piping and mess of wires that network the maintenance shafts.

And yet, you sense her rapidly closing behind you, and surge of power in the Force...

Yeah, Rianna's definitely hoping for that indeed.

If Rianna can make it harder for Myraline to catch up by creating more obstacles doing things like slicing down pipes to block the path, she's going to do that as well, unless it would slow her down as well, as Rianna knows she can't stand up to Myraline with the Force, and does not like that she can sense her closing in on her so quickly...

She is in the near distance, now, and closing quickly. She has used Dash and improved her roll with Guidance to make sure that she doesn't lose you, and now she has activated a lightsaber! It is Ciira's.

Rianna is taking the first exit out of the shafts that she can find, helping the hatch open with her lightsaber if she needs to.

Before you can do that, you hear a distinct whirling of a lightsaber rapidly approaching you...

Rianna will quickly spin around, then, pushing with the Force to knock the flying lightsaber away from her and ducking below it's trajectory.

"Myraline! Stop!" Rianna says as she tries to avoid being hit.

(assuming she used saber throw there 😛)

It would be Lifting to defend against something like this.

As it is, the lightsaber is not aimed at you (as yes, you assumed correctly). Instead, the blue-bladed weapon whirls past you and skims across a pipe, cutting it open and pouring boiling hot steam into the maintenance shaft, and directly onto Rianna! She certainly gets burned by it, and trips over some wiring as she attempts to get away from the venting pipe.

The shaft fills up with steam quickly, making it much hotter in here and also preventing you from seeing much of anything in the already dim shaft.

Rianna quickly scrambles back to her feet and tries to push on, using her senses to orient herself as best as she can and trying to find a way out of here.

It is hard to regain your sense of direction now that everything is steamed up to the point of obscuring your vision. Additionally, you suddenly feel very dizzy and nausea sweeps over you. Rianna has just been Bewildered.

"I should never have trained you," Myraline says from somewhere in the steam.

"But you did..." Rianna replies, leaning heavily against a wall to try and keep her balance. "Perhaps you weren't ready for a Padawan when you took me as one..."

"And what do you base that off of?" Myraline asks. Bewildered as you are, she sounds as if she is coming from all directions.
