Dawn of Defiance

[Dalamar]

"My deepest apologies, but that is classified information," Duella answers the storm trooper, though she doesn't actually sound the least bit sorry. She ponders what their chances would be if one of them opened fire on the troopers with the sled's guns.

"So....... May I ask what so many of the Imperial Stormtroopers are here for?" Kered silently counts the number of guards, taking note that there are way too many to fight. Perhaps there was another way, or he could at least stall for time. "I wonder if it would be out of the question for you to turn around and count to 10?" Kered laughs easily, "I fear you have the wrong group of individuals. No doubt you seek the ones from earlier today? Not us I'm afraid. It was some other group with 2 humans, a twi'lek, a trandoshan, and a zabrak." He looks at the others and shrugs. "I couldn't think of anything."




Bluff attempt that I really have no chance of getting (1d20+6=8)

 

[Wintergypsy]

The leading trooper bursts out a short harrid laugh, then orders: "Set blasters for stun! Fire when ready!"










When suddenly...











You see a large Baudo-class style spaceyacht float into the docking bay, opening precise fire at the troopers from twofrontal laser turrets. Within moments the hangar is eerily silent. From some crackling speakers a female voice is heard:
"This is Captain Sirona Okeefe manning the starship Banshee, Maya sent me to pick you up. You can deliver the cargo through the loading hatch and i can take you guys out of here in no time..."

As you all board the ship, the lines of hyperspace fold in before you and you are on the way to Alderaan


[OOC: Congratulations all on making it through the first location! The characters will now go to Alderaan which will eb action-free but you will of course have the opportunity to RP with each other there. Further good news is that some Destiny points will be awarded and all of you will have leveled. I would want to wait a little bit before applying the level however; that will be resolved in-game.

Furthermore, i feel sorry about losing Darwin and Dragoon. Dragoon hasn't mailed me back yet, but i hope everythings allright with him. What concerns Koyi, i will drop that characterfor the remainder of The traitor's Gambit and i'll e-mail Darwin when weget to the next adventure. I'll try to reach Dragoon once more and if that fails i might probably make his character available for another player to play it OR to make up a new one. It would be nice if it were a droid though

And for a last comment, you players rock! You really astonished me with your creativity at certain points! ]

"I told you guys I would handle that!" the Zabrak says as he sits comfortably in the yacht. He stretches out then asks, "Anyone else think we were going to die?"

 

[Dalamar]

"I was more concerned we wouldn't die," Duella answers. "There are some... disturbing rumors running through the ranks about the habits of some imperial interrogators."

She goes to meet their savior.
"I can honestly say that I am glad that you came, captain. Duella Karlice," she introduces herself, extending her hand.

 

[Blackrat]

When they are safely inside the ship Alder slumps to a chair and sighs. He smiles at Duella talking about the imperial interrogators. "You can't imagine the half of it my friend. I would have rather taken my own life than let them catch me alive." Alder is still gripping hard to the lightsaber hilt and when he finally notices this he quickly stashes it to the hidden holster inside his jacket.

 

[Max]

Surussk listens interestedly to what the others are saying about what might have happened had they been captured. "Apparently there is much going on in the Empire that we have not heard of on my planet. I'm just glad Maya had a ship, with guns, to get us out. Nice timing," he says, in a bit of an understatement.

 

[Blackrat]

Alder looks at Surussk. "You weren't in the war, were you? This change in the so-called empire is very recent. A year ago it was still a republic and eventhough there was rumours of corruption things were much better. Now suddenly nonhumans have become lower-class citizens and good people are hunted and tortured for their believes." There is definite bitterness in Alder's voice, so strong that even the 'doshan can't miss it.

 

[Wintergypsy]

Indeed there is much that has changed in the galaxy throughout the last few years. A lot of it, unfortunately, is factual knowledge: planets have been destroyed, whole races have been obliterated and the Jedi are, to the public, almost completely extinct. Each one of you has his or her own questions and misgivings about the current state of the galaxy, and you all hope Senator Organa will be able to provide the answer...

Without any problem whatsoever, the Banshee drops out of hyperspace and you all see a landscape of lush beauty unfold below you...a world that loks as carefree as you can possibly imagine in these troublesome times. Soaring closer towards the surface you can observe the silvery idyllic lakes and lush oak forests showing a most beautyfull colored harmony...

As you get yourselves ready to land you hear the speaker blurting out "Cleared for landing at the Royal Spaceport". Slowly, the hatch unlocks itself and you're all a bit anxious as well as curious about your welcome on Alderaan.

 

[Blackrat]

Less than a month since Alder had run away from Alderaan and now he was here again, with a different name and hopes that those Imperials he had run from, weren't around anymore. "Welcome to my home-world friends. The imperials have much less impact here than most of the galaxy, so we should be safe." After taking the identity of Alder, he has studied great deal of Alderaan's geocraphy, history and society to plausibly pass as an Alderaanian, and the few months he had spent here with his master helped too. But he had not quessed he'd be returning so soon.
