OOC: I heard from Grufflehead that Z3r0 can't be with us anymore. That brings the group count down again.
I can re-recruit, but do you have any friends who'd like to join? It's slow now, but it'll pick up soon. We're setting the pace and the stage for suture awesomeness.
IC:
Outside the droids hear a sudden scuffle from the inside of the warehouse. Before they can transmit an alert, however, two blasts ring out and destroy their frames.
Z3r0 shuffled to the main door and started picking the lock. A moment later Chase and Adara sprinted inside, before the droid followed and closed the door after them.
The Clone troopers in the cage let out a sigh of relief as the wall on their cage went down. Good work, sirs! Wow, an ARC trooper! Good to be back in the fight with some Jedi is a sample of the bustle of talk once they're released.
[sblock=Clone Rules] In short: the clones are part of your reward. Your group is now in charge of a group of troops who will follow your orders. Individually weak, they are more powerful as a solid group (ie: with ten of them you get a +10 bonus to clone-related actions). They can give cover fire, distractions, and help with labour. Simple NPC stuff to back up you heroes.
You'll need them in later encounters, if we continue.[/sblock]
As they are let go, a figure lying on the floor is revealed: an alien! The species is something like a Duros, and wearing practical clothes like smugglers tend to. This one is heavily wounded, barely breathing, and the two force-users can tell he's close to death.
The alien tries to speak to you in a raspy whisper.
Who leans close to listen to his words?
