[Mandalorian Soldier (mask of Evermourne)]

Mandalorian Soldier

T'sal removes the comms unit of the soldier she is holding. Fecta Trigiel helps along by striking near the comms unit of his captive. It was hard to estimate the exact location of so he scraped the skin a light bit under the armour and clothing. But nothing serious.

"We... we... we are here to clear the invasion. that is all we know" T'sal captive slowly speaks. Clearly the mind trick is doing its work. "Huh your little mind trick seems to have gotten the best of my partner here" the soldier held by Fecta speaks. "And if you want to know so badly. Yes I personally shot this little maggot over here. Which is the same you can expect for yourself!" the soldier yells out

With a surprise burst of force the soldier pulls himself lose from Fecta Trigiel's grasp en can be seen to reach for a small blaster pistol in a compartment on his leg.

[Fecta Trigiel]

"Then you shot first." Somehow this seems to be important for the cyborg. Before the soldier could reach for his gun, Trigiel gave the soldier a force push, followed by his lightsaber. ((Check: 8 = 4 Force Level + 3 Energy + 1 Telekinesis -- ))
The padawan had no intention anymore to let the soldier live and went in for the kill.

((OOC: Attack: ataru (8/8/7 excluding the -2 penaulty)))

[T'Sal]

T’sal is glad the mindtrick works, the soldiers answer just seems to create more question like are you just hired or does your boss know Malarika. But then the other starts talking and she is surprised. He is clearly provoking them, but now they know what is happening here. They are here to kill and now she has also to.

Reluctant she sights and takes a deep breath. While the other soldier escapes T’sal focuses her mind and controls her emotions. Her eyes become emotionless and her mind is only set to one thing saving the archeologist by killing all those soldiers. She steps backs releasing the soldier she was holding but before he can even start to enjoy it her lightsaber cuts through his throat and the corpse collapses at her feet.

As the other soldier seemed to be mainly focused on Trigiel T’sal makes a high jump towards the ceiling and pushes of the roof. She targets just a little past the soldier, she turns midair making a crew and tries to cut his right arm/shoulder where he had the blaster. T’sal then lands behind him.

[Evermourne]

The two padawans completely overwhelm the two soldiers with their skills. Fecta Trigiel launches the soldier against the nearest wall making him feel completely powerless against the force and dazes his head from the impact. Before the soldier can clear his head and react Fecta Trigiel's lightsaber pierces the soldier in a vital area.

Meanwhile T'sal releases her hold on her captive. The soldier was still dazed from the hold of the mind trick and never knew what hit him when T'sal's lightsaber cut clean through him. Both soldier collapse on the ground.

After a close inspection of the body of the scientist there are some blaster wounds to be found on his chest area. This scientist was already gone and nothing could be done for him. As the padawans stand back up to move on the area around them starts to shake once more from a powerful impact on the planets surface nearby.

It seems these soldiers certainly did not come alone.

[T'Sal]

After they have confirmed that the scientist is dead, they move on. Then the ground starts to shake. This meant that there are probably large things are going on at the surface.

“Let’s hurry, this cannot be good.”

T’sal sprints forwards with her ligthsaber in her hand and S4 follows her up close.

[Fecta Trigiel]

After what happened Trigiel could really use something big to smack down. But he had another effective way of removing the soldiers. While he was running back the surface, he deactivated his lightsaber and showed it back into the arm pocket, then he grabbed his E-11 sniper rifle. He made a quick routine inspection to check if the weapon was undamaged and the battery loaded.

[Evermourne]

As the two padawans run outside standing right out the door of the large building complex they could see over the small village that was located inside the mountain. Immediately troops of soldiers could be seen patrolling the streets looking around for signs of life. Screams could be heard here and there from people who where found by the squads of soldiers and it became immediately clear that nothing could be done anymore for those people. Although Fecta Trigiel and T'sal knew they had the upper hand as users of the force. There was a high number of soldiers scattered around the place which seemed the danger of being overwhelmed by the enemy very likely.

Perhaps taking the stealthy route avoiding combat would be the best for now.

Fecta Trigiel checks his sniper which could be used to take out certain sentries if anything had happend to it. It was dusty from Malarika's fling but nothing to serious seems to be wrong with it. It was powered and ready to go.

[Fecta Trigiel]

"Shit, there are too many, and the archaeologists are too much... archaeologists." As Trigiel hadn't a better term to indicate that they were helpless.

"T'sal, we must move carefully, I am not very stealthy so I will draw attention by killing those mercenaries with my sniper. I think S4 will be too much of a hinder, so it is best to let him inside in my opinion.

You can go and try to save some scientists, if I am correct, you are better in not drawing attention. I want some mercenaries alive for interrogation. Preferable the leader and a minion. Minions are easier to manipulate."

It was up to this point Trigiel realised it would have been wiser to let the previous two soldiers live, as they were separated and easier to capture. Too late for that now, the simplest and most logical way was to kill most of the soldiers, let one or two escape with a tracker device and have some soldiers left to interrogate. He quickly assessed their equipment and realised they didn't brought tracking devices with them. 'Well,' He thought, 'then nobody escapes.'

If T'sal agreed, he went to look for a good place for cover.

[T'Sal]

T’sal takes a good look around the location as to see how the attack is going as to come up with a counter measure. She looks for their centre of operations and what kind of equipment (vehicles)they have.

“Mhh, I do not like to go alone as I do not want to get pushed into a corner. But your stealth is not so good.

So you can snipe, but we should stay within two force jumps of each other. S4 can indeed better say at your side and use his sensor to watch your back while you focus on the shot.

I will play guerrilla warrior to find and save some scientist. I will gather them in one place, which you can protect by snipping all enemies who are approaching.”

Their plan is ready, so now it is time to get into action. T’sal starts her stealthy approach to the camp.
((Check: 9 = 5 Force Level + 3 Fitness + 1 Stealth -- ))
She tries to break the soldiers systematic cleaning of the camp by taking them down one after the other. Trying to lure them in buildings and shadows as to prevent them from releasing what is happening to them. It will take some time to reduce the numbers of the soldier, but she does her utmost. T’sal tries to efficiency and quickly takes out as many as possible within alarming the rest.

[Fecta Trigiel]

Seeing that T'sal agreed and went in, Trigiel fired multiple shots from cover at some soldiers who appeared to enter a new tent. The cyborg automatically started to count his shots: *zapp* '1' *zapp zapp* '2, 3.'

Now that he did get some attention from the soldiers, he picked the ones closing in on him: *zapp* '4' *zapp* '5' *zapp* '6, reload' He took cover, reloaded his gun and started to shoot again.
((OOC: attack: -/-/4 (including the -2 from first round, adding a -/-/+2 direct combat action from surprise attacks)
I started the actual fire fight to speed things up a little bit.

I changed the weapon stats after this thread about weapon fights was started.))

[Evermourne]

The stealthy operation was working its course. T'sal was sneaking around picking off a few soldiers around her to clear a path to the outside of the mountain back to the main camp. When looking around she could sometimes see lonely soldiers falling down from a distance. Knowing quite well this was Fecta Trigiels work she smiled and continued on her way.

If he could Fecta Trigiel might of worked up a sweat from the situation. Taking out multiple soldiers around T'sal or if he happen to find some standing on their own or when there where just two of them. Even when they where getting close to him they where no match for his aim.

As this continued on for a good time suddenly something happened. It seems the soldiers where all retreading away.
T'sal had to quickly duck away under a few stones near a house to avoid getting spotted. Fecta Trigiel was now unable to shoot soldiers unnoticed since they where mostly together.

((OOC: Edited : Well this first post is not really changed. mostly cut the events off to allow more time to react. and will continue on your responses. Hope we can carry it on to everyone's liking.))

[Fecta Trigiel]

"They are retreating, if we want prisoners to interrogate, it is now or never."

As the soldiers are retreating, there was no reason for cover anyway. First he aimed at the legs of the running soldiers. '1,2,3,4,5,6 reload.' His target was to get at least one soldier, but preferable more crippled. Then he jumped out of his position while he was reloading his sniper rifle, and ran forward to close some distance. He sat down again, and shot some more soldiers. If there were any soldiers helping the crippled soldiers, he shot them first in the legs as well. If a soldier didn't go down by shooting in the legs, he shot them in the head. '1,2,' *Zapp Zapp* '3,4.'

"Run you fools, I can do this all day."

((OOC: attack: sniper rifle -/-/6 (+2 DCA from encountering no resistance from running people)

EDIT: added combat stats))

[T'Sal]

As T’sal sees the soldiers retreating she realizes that if they want to question another one she would need to grab one now. Trigiel seems to agree and they have now to come out their stealth mood if they want results. T’sal is a martial artist and she changes style to suus mahna taking a more defending stance and takes her ligthsaber in her right hand to block, parry and counter. Trigiel starts to shoot soldiers in the leg and then T’sal jumps in; she knocks down the wounded soldiers and then looks to what the other soldiers are doing. She protects their prisoners if necessary and will use her telekinesis power to move the body to safety. Any soldier who attacks will be knocked out as well.

((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 4 Energy + 1 Telekinesis -- ))

The two padawans are now fighting in the open. T’sal fights in close-combat with Trigiel supporting for afar. T’sal tries to pick a higher ranking officer as they may know more, so they could get him.

((Check: 8 = 5 Force Level + 3 Vision -- ))

[Evermourne]

The padawans started to fight out in the open without much resistance. The larger part of the running soldiers got shot down by Fecta Trigiel from a distance while T'sal made short work of the soldier in close combat.

"Stop them, take measures that they wont get us alive!" A soldier managed to yell over the running crowed. T'sal heard this as well and wondered what he meant. But it became clear quite fast.
As Fecta Trigiel shot a running soldier in the leg the soldier fell down on the ground while his teammates kept on running. Without as much as a warning the soldier shot himself in the head to end his life.
It seems the mandolorians do not like to leave behind prisoners.
As T'sal saw this happening up close this made it hard for the two padawans to get a prisonot to ask questions later.
The timing needed to be just right for her next move.

Another shot was fired at the legs of a soldier by Fecta Trigiel. While the soldier fell down T'sal jumped in and pulled his weapon out of his hands and threw him towards an alleyway using her telekinesis and strength so the soldier was out of range of his team mates. The solider fell down unconscious from the slam against the ground. So far the padawans had et least one soldier left to interrogate later.

The action of T'sal let Fecta Trigiel see that they et least have one prisoner and he started to shoot at the heads more then legs. Still trying to maybe get a few more could not hurt. But the solider see their intention and are really working against leaving behind any alive team mates.

The soldiers keep on running and left the mountain through the opening they came from. Keeping them mostly out of sight for now.

[Fecta Trigiel]

"T'sal, keep an eye on him, I will try to get another one, hopefully one of little more importance."

Trigiel started to run now really fast, he skipped some boulders on the way by jumping over them, so he could close in on the soldiers. While in the air, he aimed his sniper at the legs of an important looking soldier, and emptied his clip. '5,6, reload.' The battery clip fell out of the sniper, while at the same time the cyborg already had a new one ready for his weapon. Before he was at the ground, he fired at the gun(s) of the soldier, preventing him from killing himself. Trigiel came down in a stable position, immediately aiming at any nearby other soldier who wanted to kill his comrade. Before they could do anything, he shot down their guns as well and then their legs.

With no hesitation he stood up again and ran towards the soldiers. "Wait, don't run, we are just a little lost and wanted to ask for directions. We have no intentions to harm you."

((OOC: attack: E-11 sniper rifle: -/-/6 (-/-/+2 DCA from encountering no resistance from running people)
defence: 4/4/4))

[T'Sal]

T’sal goes to the unconscious soldier and checks him. She wants to tie him up but she has no rope. S4 is finally catching up and stops next to them. T’sal looks to S4 and then starts thinking. Watching this soldier is a good idea, but why were the others such a hurry for? Why all that effort to not get captured? These questions starts to really nag her. She takes another look at the soldier and then BANG! gives him another hit to make sure he would stay unconscious longer.

“S4 guard this soldier and make sure he stays unconscious until we are back.”

With this T’sal left and went after Trigiel. She force jumps full speed ahead. She sees how Trigiel finds some more candidates to interrogate, but he can handle it alone. T’sal is now too curious about why the soldiers are leaving so fast. She goes through the opening and takes a good look around to see what is going.

((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 4 Energy + 1 Force Jump -- Jumping and moving quickly after the soldiers.))
((Check: 8 = 5 Force Level + 3 Vision -- Take a look around outside.))

[Evermourne]

The two padawans made solid progress through the soldiers.

Fecta Trigiel made sure he knocked down a officer like soldier from without the group. Though what we was shouting out did not make a lot of sense to the soldiers.
"Wait, don't run, we are just a little lost and wanted to ask for directions. We have no intentions to harm you." Fecta Trigiel shouts towards them.

Upon hearing the words the soldiers start to shoot back toward Fecta Trigiel since he was now closer to them and more in sight near their comrade. Fecta Trigiel had to dodge out of the way quickly to avoid getting hit.

While a few soldiers kept Fecta Trigiel busy, T'sal has made her way towards the clearing through the opening of the mountain. All the other soldiers are now long gone. As she stood in the entrance way she could see a lot of droppods in the sky rising up to the sky towards some bigger carrier type ships. It made it quite clear what the loud bangs where while they where still deeper in the mountain. She could see most of the soldiers made it back to the main camp of Kura'ran allready as more and more pods started to go towards the sky.

[Fecta Trigiel]

After successfully isolate and disarm an 'officer' looking soldier Trigiel was now faced with a problem he didn't thought of. He wanted to continue forward but he had to protect the soldier against himself. He could use his grappling cable to secure the soldier but he didn't had time to do so. He could of course break the arms and legs of the soldier, it would make it impossible to commit suicide that way, but there had to be better options. Then he had it.

At first he knocked out the soldier. It would give the soldier a concussion but he would survive that. Then he had to jump into shelter as the soldiers were starting to shoot back. 'Well more prisoners for us as it seems' he thought. To prevent the soldiers from killing their fallen comrade, Trigiel jumped back in the field drawing fire to him, away from the officer. At the same time he shot back at the soldiers, first the weapons and arms, then the legs.

When the soldiers shooting at Trigiel were either down or gone, the cyborg looked around for some nice rocks, which there were plenty of them around. With the force he grabbed some small rocks and placed them around the officer soldier, at the same time Trigiel lifted a large rock and carefully placed it on top of the smaller rocks over the soldier. The arms and legs were now secured between rocks and the entire body was protected against blaster fire by the builder.The soldier did not suffer from the weight of the large rock this way, letting Trigiel continue his assault.
((Check: 8 = 4 Force Level + 3 Energy + 1 Telekinesis -- grabbing all the rocks at the same time because Jedi are cool))

When his prisoner was secured Trigiel rushed forward again jumping over any obstacles on his way, as he had no time to loose. The other soldiers probably were not going to wait for their comrades, so Trigiel had to be fast if he wanted to stop more of them. Also he had to see what they had done to the main camp, although he would probably nothing unexpected.

((OOC: Attack: E-11 sniper rifle: -/-/4
defence: 4/4/4))

[T'Sal]

When T’sal sees the soldiers leaving, she does not wait and shouts over the communicator.

“Trigiel, they are leaving with droppods. They are almost gone. We need to hurry to the camp if we want to catch them.”

T’sal jumps full speed ahead, ignoring the other soldiers and taking no cover. It is a risk to go out in the open, but she is willing to take it to hopefully still save someone at the camp. She has her green lightsaber in her hand and deflects any incoming firing and tries to redirect back to them.

((Check: 9 = 5 Force Level + 3 Fitness + 1 Force Jump -- ))

((OOC: Schii-co Attack: 6/9/7 Defence: 8/9/7 if T'sal needs to attack (but not waste any time) mostly it will just be defending and moving full speed))

[T'Sal]

((OOC: Evermourne don't forgot this post, is has been weeks now.
I would love to finish this mission.))

[Evermourne]

T'sal launches herself after the last of the soldiers who failed to get away. She meets resistance from the last of them via blaster fire or melee swings once she gets close. It all proves nothing to hard for T'sal to knock it all down. Meanwhile Fecta Trigiel leave the mountain opening and sees what T'sal had just reported. Pods are present in the sky above him and on the ground there are barely any pods left. Fecta Trigiel makes haste and rushes after T'sal.

T'sal nears the main camp leaving nothing behind her but injured or dead soldiers. Just as she enters the camp she could see Kura'ran being dragged into a pod at about 100 meters distance from where she was. A large air current brings T'sal a bit off balance and the pod is starting to ascend into the air.

Kura'ran locks eyes with T'sal and it was quite clear what he screamed at her
"Master Jedi!! Please help me!".

All soldiers are now clear into the last of their pods. Before the last of the doors close the soldiers use the opportunity to fire their blasters from the pods towards the camp and at T'sal.

[Fecta Trigiel]

((OOC: You forget to note whether Trigiel was succesful or not))

Trigiel saw the pod with Kura'ran but he wouldn't give up, not yet. "Escaping? Not on my watch!" As the pods seems to rise slowly, Trigiel had a little time to catch up. He ran to the nearest pod he could reach, preferably the one with Kura'ran, but if another one if necessary. While on the run, he dropped his sniper and grabbed his grappling hook. "T'sal, give me a push!" He said and jumped high in the sky. With help of T'sal he should be able to reach the pod with his grappling hook. He fired the gun and guided the sucker head with the force to reach its target.

((Check: 10 = 4 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Athletics + 1 Force Jump -- for jumping, bonus from T'sal not included as she might not help.))

If the hook reached the ship, the cyborg clicked the wind in button till he was close to the pad. While doing so, he made a quick assessment of where to strike. 'A ship has repulsorlifts to stay in the sky, thrusters to get up in the sky and shielding for protection. Bringing down the shields won't do good, as the soldiers are suicidal, so disabling the ship would be the wiser plan... a fuck it, why doing so difficult?' He activated his saber and cut a hole in the ship from which he could enter.

[T'Sal]

T'sal is entering the camp and sees that Kura'ran is taken. She is determined to NOT let this happen and his pleades only encourage her. She takes a quicke look around to see how far Trigiel is, as he is quite agile he should be close. She sees that Trigiel has dropped his sniper and is reaching for his grappling hook. You can always count on that he will go head first and that is precisely what T'sal wants. She takes a good look around, with her psysical knowlegde of mechanics she wants to give Trigiel the best help. She starts to make estimations of distances, Trigiels speed and jump trajectory as to find the best push off point. Her mind is racing as she as fast as she can and she then quickly moves to her start position. T’sal does not take much note of the blaster fire from the pods as her thoughts are elsewhere and simply deflects them with her light saber.

((Check: 13 = 5 Force Level + 5 Intuition + 3 SPhysicist -- Using the laws of mechanics (physics) to determine and calculate the trajectories and push off positions.))

"Push? Double jump you mean! Just continue your path and jump high, then make a second jump by pushing of me. I will give you extra momentum."

T'sal gathers the force around her. She waits for Trigiel to jump high and she jumps after him to meet him in the air. As Trigiel starts to reach his dead centre and begins to fall down T'sal comes from below. Her feet are up and when his and her feet meet there is a big clash of force. T'sal has gathered all her jump and telekinetic power to push Trigiel maximally upwards and herself downward. Trigiel could make a second force jump up of her.


((Check: 14 = 5 Force Level + 3 Fitness + 4 Energy + 1 Force Jump + 1 Telekinesis -- I do a combined check as to transfers as much as momentum to Trigiel))

There is a big whirlwind where the two padawans push off as the force is unleashed. T’sal has to quickly turn around and again focus the force as not to crash on the floor. She hopes that Trigiel will reach the pod.

((OOC: I was thinking the exact same thing :P))

[Evermourne]

((OOC: I assume you mean if you where successful in placing the rocks on your captive. but i kinda thought it was a mundane thing to say that it went allright. but yeah in quick ooc that it was successful :)))

Fecta Trigiel jumps as high as he can towards the dropship where Kura'ran was being dragged in. The ship is luckily not so high just. T'sal is quick to catch on to Fecta Trigiels intentions and prepares quickly to aid in reaching the ship. As Fecta Trigiel reaches the best position for a boost T'sal unleaches what she can to aid. Due to distractions that the soldiers do provide from firing at both the padawans the boost was succesfull.

Fecta Trigiel fires his hook towards to pod and guides it in the direction to grab on. Even though the push from T'sal was succesfull it did bring Fecta Trigiel slightly out of his original path. However Fecta is succesfull in guiding his grappling hook to the pod and lashes on the pod. While swinging around and being surrounded by blaster fire Fecta Trigiel manages to wind himself towards the pod.

Coming closer to the pod Fecta Trigiel strikes towards the entrance door which was still open for a large part. A few soldiers where too focused on T'sal on the ground and therefore Fecta Trigiel makes quick work of them. An opening and Fecta Trigiel does not hesitate to climb inside. The sight that awaits him might be something he did not account for. The small archway is about 2 meters wide and only about 4 meters in. a couple of soldiers keep Fecta Trigiel at gun point but are clearly not confortable at the situation. Fecta Trigiel does not care for these small soldiers. What is more interresting is Kura'ran is being held by two soldiers. While a cloaked person with a lightsaber pointed at Kura'ran holds out the disks Kura'ran showed at the beginning and clearly looking them over.

"Such... a mess. Don't you agree" a deep manly voice spoke through the pod.

[Fecta Trigiel]

After seeing the man with the saber, Trigiel took a moment to asses the situation. At the same time he contacted T'sal with his inner comm-link: "This is bad, another saber dude, not Malarika, he sounds to manly."

The cyborg quickly went over his options: he could not attack, as the cloak with the saber would be faster killing Kura'ran, he could not wait to long as the ship was still rising and he could not survive an eternal fall. He could stay on the ship and join them in their school, do they have ships? Of course, but Malarika, no stupid plan, no joining. How strong would he be? Did Trigiel want to find out?

"Dammit, how many of you guys are there? ...Of course, a whole school."

Trigiel looked at Kura'ran, who probably could not read cyborg facial expressions. 'Would he prefer to die or to be captured?' he thought, 'well, they didn't kill him yet, so they probably wouldn't. Do they like torture? Dunno, Kura'ran torturing would be no fun anyway.

"What do you want with him anyway?" Trigiel asked, referring to Kura'ran. The padawan carefully did a step forward, to read the man in the cloak and Kura'ran. Trigiel also tried to keep an eye at the exit, but that proved to be quite difficult as he had no eyes in the back, but at least he had ears and the force to guide him.

((OOC: This is much better then before, now there are some real great roleplay choices, thank you. :)))
