Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

((Wryy'ethh's attack against S1 is a 15. A hit, and S1 takes another 17 damage. He's down.))

The wookie's lightsaber strikes easily, finishing off the already exhausted Sith in a single sweep. As usual, there is no blood from the long gash the lightsaber left across his chest, but the burn mark creates the same uneasy smell in the air.

Behind you, though, a new sound breaks through the hum of lightsabers and heavy breathing. The sound of heavy, fast moving footsteps. Glancing back to see the source of the sounds, you see a new figure. He is a tall man, even taller than Aerek, with sharp features and long brown hair. Two deep set, piercing eyes watch all of you, but that isn't what really catches your eyes.

What catches your eye is the very large, blood red colour heavy armor adorning his body. It doesn't shine as much as suck in the small amount of light in the area. And in his hand, held to the side, is a metal blade with a gold hilt. He holds it up slightly and smiles, speaking in very clean and perfected Basic, "You will leave the child be."

Cai steps to Skyka's side, turning away from the last of the young men and looking to the armored Sith. She doesn't say anything, but turns an easy expression on Skyka, obviously showing she is unsure of what to do.

((New map is up...S7 is the new guy. Aerek is up. Note that S7's initiative drops him in between Wryy'ethh and Cai, so he's already done his action for this round.))

Aerek took advantage of the respite to heal himself, and to reply to the man. Something wasn't right. Why would a Sith do anything to save a student who was losing a fight? That was completely against their doctrine, as he understood it.

"Isn't the Sith way that the strong survive, and the weak die? It's not the Jedi way, but I'm guessing you know that quite well." Aerek said.

(heal self +11; take 10 if possible); he can't fail the check, so I'm hoping it's okay to do this even though I've got no VP left.

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 5)

Skyka remains silent as her ice blue eyes keeps both the student and the newest arrival in sight, as her eyes travel from one to the other she catches Cai’s eyes and tries to reassure her with her own before they, finely, end up steering at the new arrival, “That’s fine, I think we’re about to leave anyhow…”

The red armoured man smiled dangerously at Aerek's words, "Come now, Jedi, look around you. Have not the weak been culled?" he then turned to face the still slightly panicked looking young Sith and spoke in language that none of you had ever heard before, "Kestha itok cro."

The young Sith looked past Wryy'ethh and the other Jedi, nodding quickly before retreating off down the left hallway. With only the newly arrived Sith left, you all notice something else behind him. Down that corridor from which the ceiling had collapsed in, you see nothing. It looks as crisp and cleanly carved off at the end of the corridor as it had before the first of the Sith had escaped.

Skyka:[sblock]He seems to be real enough.[/sblock]

((Roughly sticking to Initiative order here...Bud'd's just holding her ground for the moment, so that puts us back to the top of the order with Wryy'ethh.))

*Wryy'ethh simply glares at the man, and activates Heal Self, using a roll.*

((Aerek: I wll allow you to take 10 on the check...so its a 21, costing you no VP and restoring 10VP. Up to 10VP now.

Wryy'ehh: Heal Self check is a 15. So you heal yourself 4 more VP, bringing you up to 16.

And while we're getting the rule stuff out of the way. Skyka, Bud'd, Wryy'ethh, and Cai have to make Ref saves for half damage...Skyka gets a 27. Bud'd a 20. Wryy a 15. Cai a 14. The Wookie and Cai fail, taking 9 damage each. That brings Wryy'ethh down to 7VP. Bud'd and Skyka only take 4 damage. Bud'd is down to 1WP, and fails her save to stay conscious. Skyka's down to 11VP.

Skyka also has to make a Will save. She gets a 12. Fails.))

With that same smile still etched on the armored man's face, he reaches out with his free hand idly. Suddenly, a heavy, invisible wall slams into the four of you closest to him. Though Bud'd is able to resist the heavy strength of the blow, she collapses to the stone floor unconscious, lightsaber rolling out of her hand and deactivating.

"An interesting one, you are..." he says quietly as the hand forms a tight fist. Skyka sees the two empty eyes lock onto her, and a second later her entire body is lifted up off of the ground and pulled closer to the red armored man. She is stopped just out of reach of him, held in the air as he gives her a long look over, "A Jedi from Rollan...yes?"

((Action for Aerek...?))

"Skyka!" Aerek shouts, and closes to attack the newcomer.

I think Aerek can reach him without charging...

((Aerek can just get to E13. His attack is a 22. That's a hit, and S7 takes 18 damage.))

Moving past the held Skyka, Aerek's quick lightsaber strike nearly caught the armored man across the chest. Just before the blade reached him, however, his right arm flashed up and the metal sword he held collided with Aerek's blade. But the lightsaber didn't go through it, instead, the metal sword held Aerek's blade, with the man grinning and even pushing Aerek back with only one hand, "You are weak, Jedi...I expected a challenge."

((Skyka's up(but she can't actually move) and then Wryy'ethh.))

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 5)

Unable to move Skyka concentrates upon the force, calling upon it to relax and relieve her tired muscles of pain.

*Perhaps a rational action is more appropriate here, but Wryy'ethh is still in the grip of his Wookiee Rage, the anger of his species coursing through his veins. As this newcomer threatens his new companions, he growls, raises his saber high, and charges to D13, slashing at the man with all his might, but still keeping a wary eye on him.*

OOC: Charge, attack, declare dodge.
