[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7050750, member: 20323"] [GM]So [MENTION=6814006]Thateous[/MENTION] you can climb the rock spire with a Difficulty 2 Athletics (Brawn) check, and that will give you a better view above the canopy.[/GM] Between the arboray tree overhangs and tangles of vine spanning the temple's perimeter, there were ample hiding places. As you leaned against the trees, ears perked for any signs that the stormtroopers were moving in your direction, you could hear faint sounds of an angry man's voice followed by a woman's indignant reply, but you're still too far to make sense of the exchange. Then a loud mechanical whine of speeder engines starting up echo through the rainforest. A quick glance exchanged between you confirms your fears. The ground trembled ever so slightly, then bolder still, something large moving through the rainforest with a whirring echoing step that quaked the rainforest floor. Rex rapidly decoded more of the encoded comms, not from the ground to ship, but between the stormtroopers themselves: [SECTION][b][i]<<"Alright boys, we've got company 2 clicks south.
