Star Wars: Republic and Empire (IC)

[Shayuri]

Zenith pauses as they round the corner, and she looks over to meet Storm's eyes with an uneasy expression.

"I feel the Dark Side here," she says quietly. "In the very walls. Not from a person, but in the place itself. Guard yourself."

She then continues on forward until reaching the dead end, where she stops and looks between the doors quizzically...finally glancing back at Rosa as if to ask 'which way?'

 

[Blackrat]

In response to Zenith's feelings Storm nods and concurs. There is uneasyness in this place. I feel it's best to continue with one of us Jedi staying with the commander and one leading. You still want the point?

 

[Songdragon]

Xiralaz comes to a halt with the others and listens carefully to the Jedi in lead as she followed by the Cathar, explain their perception into the Force. At the mention of the Dark Side tries not to worry too much. She than catches the sounds of something to her left. She whispers, "A noise." and she points in the direction of it to her left. The Verpine's grip on her blaster tightens.

Jace whispers into his comlink, "Ens Xiralaz is correct, I heard something from behind this door as well." He lines up ready if the Jedi on point is going to open the door.

 

[Shayuri]

Zenith nods at Storm, and creeps over to the door that others had heard noises from. She looks over everyone to make sure they're ready...then unhooks her lightsaber from her belt and nudges the door's opening controls.

"The left," Rosa concurs. "I heard something, too. Stay on guard."

 

[drothgery]

The door proves somewhat resistant to attempts at opening it, until Xira puts her skills to work. It's a good thing she was able to override the locking mechanism as physically forcing the thick, stone-like door open would have been difficult.

As the door opened, it became clear that its thickness muffled sounds considerably. A large console dominated the far wall, but half a dozen Stormtroopers -- in their distinctive white uniforms, almost unchanged from Palpatine's time save for the clear faceplates and that some of the troopers in front of you were clearly female, and others clearly nonhuman -- were exchanging fire with as many bipedal war droids that looked ancient but deadly.

What looked like a tech in an Imperial Navy uniform seemed to be hiding behind a workstation.

[sblock=Zenith, Storm]
The war droids seem to have something of a dark side aura.

Jace says, "Whoa, who's fighting who here?" while he stands ready to react.

Initiative (1d20+11=17)

 

[Songdragon]

Xira spots the combat from behind the others. She eyes the ancient war droids with some wonder but clutches at her weapon and readies for some sort of combat to break out. The Verpine attempts to make herself unseen as she spots the workstation and the cowardly Imperial behind it. Wondering what information it may hold or what it may control here.

[sblock=ooc] Knowledge (Technology) +11 to glean any info about the droids?
Readying for combat. Initiative +11
Staying out of sight, for now. Stealth +11

Rosa spies the hiding Imperial as well as the battle going on. She removes her pistol from its holster and prepares for the battle ahead.

1d20+10=21
