Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order

[Veritas]

"Once the General starts his feint, we can start throwing grenades, but you're right, for now we want this kept quiet. Devlin's next, then me, then you can follow us." he says to Archimedes.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

It is not long until the five minute mark that the General gave had passed. Though nothing is heard below to suggest the feints have begun, there is still no activity that can be seen below.

((Note that Dralon is now about a third of the way down.))

"Archimedes, are you picking up any communication on your helmet comm?"

 

[Lobo Lurker]

"No Major, not yet. All has been silent."

 

[Veritas]

Keeping his voice quiet, he replies "Hmph... It's possible that they're just maintaing radio silence so the rebels don't intercept anything... however, it's also quite possible the General has decided not to risk his troops to protect the man who killed his son." he looks down the shaft.

"Well, distraction or no, we're here to do a job, and we'll get it done."

 

[Lobo Lurker]

OOC: In classic Star Wars Homage...

"I've got a bad feeling about this..."

 

[Veritas]

OOC: heh, you beat me to it.

Dralon stops rapelling and listens to Rannick's words, replying with a typical witty remark, "If that is the case Rannick, we have you to thank for leading us into a deathtrap, Mister No General, we are ALL going down the shaft. It's your brilliant decisionmaking that landed us in this idiotic expedition down the shaft of death."

Tired of the long journey down, Dralon wraps his left leg tight around the rope, holding on with one hand and quickly slides down the rope at an accelerated speed.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

When Dralon reaches the bottom, he is met with a serious surprise. The bottom is not the level below. Instead, when he hits the bottom, he is still surrounded by the walls of the shaft. As his feet, what had originally looked to be a discoloration in the 'floor', was actually a handle on what was probably a hatch that Dralon now stood on.

Quietly, not far below and beyond the hatch, Dralon could hear the sounds of blaster fire.

 

[DralonXitz]

Dralon silently presses himself against the wall and looks upward at Rannick, sending forth the message, "It's on Rannick."
