[QUOTE="Beretta, post: 5040530, member: 12260"] [B]Forest Chase[/B] The dull blue landspeeder has been redesigned for planetary patrol. It is well-armoured, and three repulsorlift engines are tucked within the protective chassis. A heavy repeating blaster rests upon a mount on the forward hood, and there are rudimentary targeting controls in the front passenger seat. The entire vehicle is in good condition, including the prominent Imperial insignia on both sides of the vehicle. Fenri grabs a few of the grenades and moves purposefully around the camp. “There’ll be a few more surprises in store for that speederbike patrol when they get back…” With the booby traps in place, the group climbs aboard the landspeeder and head off east into the forest. Khail has jumped behind the piloting controls of the vehicle, while Fenri is in the passenger seat with the targeting controls for the heavy repeating blaster. L7 is squeezed in between the two Jedi in the back seat. The lush Canfreyan trees blur past the landspeeder at a comfortable pace. Thalo happens to glance behind them as Khail also flicks a glance at the side-view mirror, and both are surprised to see two white dots following them through the forest. Looking closer, they realise that they are being pursued by Imperial scout troopers riding speeder bikes, and they are closing in fast! “We’ve got company!” Thalo yells, moments before red laser cannon blasts started flying around them. Khail desperately swerves the landspeeder in an attempt to evade the incoming fire, but to no avail. It shudders from the impact of several hits, the damage causing smoke and sparks to trail from the rear of the repulsorcraft. “We can’t outrun them in this thing!” Khail shouts as he wrenches the vehicle around 180 degrees. Fenri drops the targeting reticule onto one of the speederbikes and squeezes the trigger. A stream of blaster bolts erupts from the heavy repeater’s muzzle, but the scout trooper rider jinks his bike sideways and out of their deadly path. Cyan allows her consciousness to briefly merge with the Force, focusing its energy on the other scout trooper rider. A wave of concussive power hammers into his mind, and the now-unconscious trooper slumps forward onto the speederbike’s controls. The vehicle spears into the ground and explodes in a blaze of fire and metal, sending the rider’s limp body flying through the air to disappear in the undergrowth. Thalo reaches out with the power of the Force and wrenches a fallen tree trunk free from the forest floor, and with a gesture sends it hurtling toward the remaining speederbike. The log glanced off the vehicle, knocking it sideways and leaving a large dent in its hull. Righting the vehicle, the trooper fires the laser cannons again but this time Khail anticipates correctly and the shots go wide. Fenri returns fire but again the scout trooper uses the speederbike’s excellent maneuverability to evade the lethal salvo. Blaster fire continues to flash harmlessly passed the trooper as the soldier doggedly attempts to track his swiftly-moving target. Again Cyan concentrates the Force on the remaining scout trooper’s mind, but slightly drained by the prior attack this one lacks the same punch. Nonetheless the trooper reels, his vision blurring and his reflexes dulled by the mental assault. The landspeeder’s repulsorlift engines whine as Khail jams the throttle forward and swings it into line with the speederbike. Both Jedi ignite their lightsabers as the two vehicles race towards each other, blaster and laser cannon fire hissing through the air between them. At the last moment the scout trooper jerks the handlebars of his speederbike, and there is a screech of durasteel on durasteel as the vehicles scrape past each other. As they pass, there is a flash of emerald light and the upper body of the scout trooper falls to the ground below. His lower body and the bike continue directly into the trunk of a tree and explode in a brilliant fireball. Khail brings the landspeeder to a halt as the battle adrenalin fades away. “I think we should call it a day and try to get everything and everyone patched up,” he advises. Everyone agrees and in short order they locate a suitable campsite. Thalo uses the Force to treat several injuries, while Fenri patches up the remainder with medpacs. L7 twitters to itself as it sets about repairing the damage to the landspeeder (in addition to scorching the Imperial insignias off the hull). By morning, the landspeeder is repaired sufficiently and the group is feeling well rested after their recent exertions. Once again they hop aboard the landspeeder and continue their journey east.
