As Arsinoë grasped a triangular block in time before a sealing hatch could sever her wrist, she felt it twist counterclockwise as Garrett instructed. Suddenly, the dais, some 12-feet in diameter, dropped and inch with a resounding groan that echoed throughout the complex. However, it stopped as if jammed or lacking a power source."Over there!" called out one of the stormtroopers upon hearing the sound, and the trio on foot hustled to take cover and aim their blaster rifles.More pictograms began to whirl within the coral control module, intermittent dimly glowing symbols visible through the holes in the coral. What was she to do? Wildly guessing, Arsinoë punched the triangular button down. The sphere of symbols within the coral module seemed to begin rolling in a different direction within the module. Rex seemed to be puzzling over the module, unable to find a dataport. Power? Where would something like this get power from? Her innocence paid off in spades when Arsinoë instinctively punched a pictogram looking like a solar panel shielding the exterior of the temple. Then toppling rock sounded from the southern arm of the temple, and large solar arrays could be seen rising from the walls. The dais groaned beneath the feet of Arsinoë, Rico, and Kospirian – the solars must have been charging after a long time inert, the power not yet running to the control module controlling the dais.[GM]Threat from Arsinoë's check was the noise, but the 4 successes I interpreted her as getting lucky and accidentally activating a power source.[/GM]Red shapes moved across Garrett's closed eyes, the sense of being in the calm before a fight subsiding into just calm. He needed a way out, a way out of immediate danger, a way out of the jungle swarming with the First Order, a way off Kabal and out into the stars... Like the many times his inner senses guided him to the best scrap heaps, Garrett finds his gaze drawn toward the center of the complex. In his mind's eye, he could see everything laid out clearly – the narrow gap at the base of the central ziggurat which he could roll inside of, the distraction the dais and solar panels could provide to the stormtroopers as he circle around them, and the pillars which would provide better cover from the walker's powerful guns.[GM]I interpreted success on Garrett's Vigilance roll to see through cloaking fields, holograms, Force illusions, and other sensory misdirection.I interpreted the 2 (light side) Force Points to gain insight into the general location/direction of a way out of Garrett's predicament. "Predicament" is super vague & escaping isn't the same as going after a person/object, so I interpreted "predicament" in a broad sense, which seems in keeping with how the Force works.I interpreted the 2 advantages as giving information about how to reach that escape route, as in possible steps necessary.[/GM]</blockquote>
