Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi part 2

As you approach the front, the desolation of the landscape gets worse. Some buildings, that once stood several stories tall, exist now only as chunks of rubble littering the streets. The sound of blaster fire gets louder, as well as the occasional sound of slugthrowers being fired.

Minutes later, you arrive at the main cause of all the noise. Warriors, all wearing the same matching armor with personalized touches race through the rubble, firing across the rubble at the planet's militia. It's a stalemate at the moment, the kind that is frequent with trench-like warfare.

Anariel takes cover, and looks out to survey the scene. She looks for any weaknesses in the enemy's lines, and for any way to approach them unsee from their position.

Knowledge: Tactics +4
 

Anariel can try to sneak through the makeshift trenches of rubble to reach either the Mando or militia side. It's slightly risky, however. Inside, though, with all likelyhood it'll be close-quarters combat. You'd probably hold the advantage in that case.
 

Kestrel crouches down just beside and slightly behind Anariel, squinting slightly as she takes in the situation. In the end she trusts Anariel's age and experience a bit more than her own though, and she asks softly, "What should we do? Go engage the enemy, or meet up with the defenses?"
 

Hunched over the two like a tree that he sort of is, Lorem gives his opinion. "Letting the populace know they have back up is more important than taking out few attackers. It will help reassure their spirits and morale is important factor in these kind of times."
 



Anariel nods to herself, as if coming to a decision. "We join up with the militia so we can get a situation report. Plus, we have an advantage over the enemy in close quarters, where we'd likely have to fight in hand to hand combat. Out there in the trenches...even a Jedi can be overwhelmed by combined blaster fire." With a shrug, the brave young jedi knight begins to lead the way toward the militia's defensive position.
 

You race across the brief amount of open space between yourselves and the trenches, Mandalorian blaster fire quickly headed your way. It impacts safely in front of you, and everyone is able to reach safety with ease.

The makeshift trenches maze around the area and, for a moment, you may slightly wonder if you've accidentally taken a path that would lead you to the front of the armored warriors.

"Grenade!" you hear yelled in Basic from meters away, letting you know that you have chosen the right path. You can soon see a group of two humans firing towards the enemy side. One sees you and raises his rifle in your general direction in safety. "Identify yourselve!"
 

Anariel stops, and raises her hands to show that she means the guards no harm. "I am Anariel Tyri. We have been sent on behalf of the Jedi Order to provide aid. We must speak with your commander."
