STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Bannermen

Denzral will cautiously press on, into the Kelp fields, towards the dark crevaces ahead.

You continue treading water above the kelp fields, watching the kelp sway with currents that whip about you. The murkiness of the water adds to the darkness of the crevasse.

Nothing appears to be happening, but you do see something unnerving.

On a ledge, down in the crevasse, you eye the skeletal remains of some massive fish. It would have been the size of the submarine you took to get here.

Denzral will move to inspect the carcasses to see if he can ascertain more information on the creature he would soon be dealing with, keeping his eyes peeled on the murky water around him. For instance teeth marks, scrapes that might indicate size, and anything else that might be there, remaining cautious, and possibly even stealthy but not necessarily.

Getting a closer look means moving down into the crevasse to that ledge. Do you want to swim in?

Yes but cautiously.

You float down into the crevasse and to the ledge. The dense bones of the giant fish is flecked with rotting flesh that sways like the kelp in ocean currents.

What skill do you want to use to examine the carcass?

Medicine or Observation, both are 2.

And as your Intelligence and Perception are equal also, we can just give it a roll of six dice either way.

You can tell right away that the skeletal structure features many fractures, major bones cracked and shattered or missing. Additionally, some of the remaining flesh and bones appear... lightly scorched.

The light scorching is a little alarming, Denzral will inspect this flesh to detirmine what might have caused the scorching. There goes my plan of letting it eat Denz and then cutting his way out.

Three successes on a Medicine roll. Scorching could not possibly have been from fire underwater. Electricity, on the other hand, carries quite well underwater.

A giant electric eel, great! Denz will move a little further into the crevass.

Sight will be limited the deeper you go into the crevasse as the water gets darker and murkier. How far do you want to go?

Did I find out how the creature normally attacks?

The Electric ball-thing has a glow to it right? Think I could float it out and use it to lure out the fish?

You have to draw your own deductions on that one.

Might work! Want to try it?

Does Denz have any explosives? Or explosives he can fashion and detonate remotely?

It's hard to do something like that underwater, especially without the Sabotage skill. You do have grenades.

Right, lets try and get a look at this thing, Denz will float the orb-thingy out and see if he can lure out the fish-predator.

Dropping one of those glowing sparkling ball down into the black depths has the desired effect... you sense stirring in the deep once it reaches a certain point. And then you sense massive danger and something coming for you.

Oops did I need to roll stealth?

You can try to hide if you like! You did descend a bit into the crevasse and there are some rocky ledges around you.
