Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi part 2

Anariel nods at Lorem's suggestion. "Excellent idea, Lorem. First, though, I think we need to make our way to the fire fight that seemed to be happening a short way from here, and see if we can offer the resistance some support. Perhaps we can fall on the raiders from behind while they are focused on their targets, and take them by surprise."

Kestrel listens to her companions, then regards their guide.

"Is there a leadership of the fighters that we could speak to?" she asks. "We'd like to coordinate our efforts with your soldiers if we can."
 

Sorry for the delay everyone, I had to buy a new computer after my old one crashed. At least there's a bright side to this all: I can finally play the Knights of the Old Republic series as well as Empire at War. :)

"There is," the leader of the small band replies. "We don't have his com code, however. We don't even know if he's still alive. At least it appears that some of his troops are, though, from the sounds of some of that fighting out there."
 


Anariel nods. "And the sooner, the better. I don't like the militia's chances against these raiders. They are extremely resilient, adeptly trained, and well armed. We stand a much better chance against them then this city's defenders."
 

"Well then, if that is the consensus let us not waste time. You people should keep hidden for now. And be quieter. We heard you speaking about us before you even came out."
 

"Yes, Master Jedi," one of the insurgents says as the group begins to leave. "Good luck. If you're headed out there you're gonna need it."

Walking outside, you can feel the autumn wind begin to blow in softly from the central downtown area, carrying with it the odor of smoke. The sound of blaster fire wafts in as well, the same with the concussive blasts of some type of explosive. Overhead, a lone rider guides the same type of droid/starfighter that you had encountered earlier. The insectile monstrosity dips low several blocks away from you, and begins to strafe a street without mercy.
 

"May the Force be with you." says Yeshua to the armed civilians in parting. "... No one should have to suffer this..." He mutters once they have left. "It's... absurd." Watching the aircraft with a pained expression, he indicates to the others that they should avoid it. "We have nothing that could take it down. It'll shred us as easily as the militia. At least with the warriors we can fight back. Maybe even find a big enough weapon."
 


"Indeed," agrees Anariel. "Let's move toward the firefight, but keep to cover." With that, she runs out into the street, ducking and dodging between items of cover as she makes her way down the block.
