Skill Challenge: Get past the sentries!
Wes has spotted the first Imperial Stormtrooper standing point. It's likely there are others. You can probably defeat one without much trouble, but if he or she (the official sexism of Palpatine's Empire was tossed aside by reform-minded Emperors long ago, much like the official anti-nonhuman prejudice, though unofficially both linger) manages to call for backup, it could become a much more serious problem.
As has been the case for most of your walk out here, there are occasional large boulders and clumps of scrub that can provide cover for sneaking around, but you'll have to be very careful. Presumably there's some sort of building or cave structure further in, but you can't make anything out just yet.
Primary skills: Stealth, Perception, Deception. Beyond that, be creative.

Wes manages to creep unseen to a better observation point. Anticipating the sentry's paterns, he's able to wave you to a spot behind another boulder farther along, and scout ahead himself.
(19 on the die + 11 stealth = 30; 1 Success, and because that was an insanely good roll, a +2 to the next Stealth check someone else makes)
From the improved vantage point, Rosa observes the Imperial.
(9 on the die + 9 = 18; another success, just barely)
It looks like he is following standard Imperial Stormtrooper sentry paterns... which are quite thorough, but a bit predictable. With a little work, you manage to time your movements to get past him.
You can now see what looks like a structure of some sort off in the distance, and another Imperial somewhat closer.
