Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi part 2

[Shayuri]

Kestrel shakes her head at Yeshua.

"Would you find some inner calm? We have no idea what's going on here yet. Before we start calling for help and assuming we can't get any information, lets go down to the planet and ask some people what's happening."

 

[possum]

Lorem shuts his saber and hangs it back to his belt. "Kestrel is right. It was necessary." He kneels down to pick up the helmet and remove it from the head. At least with the head they can find out the enemy's species.

[sblock=OOC]Want to roll knowledge checks if Lorem recognices the species?[/sblock]

Go ahead and roll, but I doubt you'd get anything unless you roll pretty high.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Yeshua stands and puts one hand on the shoulder of his young peer. "Kestel. We know there are more of them here. If just one of them was so dangerous that you felt we could not risk taking him alive, we surely can't defeat a group."

 

[Shayuri]

Kestrel's flinty blue eyes lock on Yeshua's.

"We don't -know- anything yet," she points out. "The raiders on the planet may be more like this, they may not be. Even if they are, we still have no idea what sort of help to ask for, because we don't know their numbers or tactics. You're being premature."

 

[Blackrat]

[sblock=OOC]

Go ahead and roll, but I doubt you'd get anything unless you roll pretty high.

Knowledge Species & Knowledge History (1d20+8=23, 1d20+14=20)

I rolled history too since it might be relevant, but neither was very good roll so that's propably no use anyways.[/sblock]

Anariel nods in conjunction with Kestrel's words. "I am forced to agree with Kestrel. If the entire raiding party is such as this armored foe, and pilot fighters such as that one," she waves her hand toward the metal montrosity, "Then we may well be forced to call in help. If he was a leader, and the rest of his band are common mercenaries, then I think five Jedi Knights are more than sufficient to handle the threat."

The consular stands, and gives Yeshua a hard stare. "As far as what I was thinking in performing Sai-Cha, I was thinking that this foe posed a considerable threat to us all, and to our mission. His armor was resistant to our blades, and should he have decided to activate the weapon systems of his craft, we would all have been killed by the blast. We can seek our answers elsewhere..."

 

[Dire Lemming]

"We know from the briefing that there are at least twenty of them and that blasters did not effect them. This thing..." He gestures to the warrior's craft. "Or one like it, was flying overhead in our vision, and then those farmers were slaughtered by blaster fire and a large armored warrior wielding a vibro-axe in a matter of seconds. A warrior who was clearly not this one. We can't afford to wait until we are in another fight to call for backup. This one will have warned them of us. It's only a matter of time before more come."

 

[Rhun]

"We are Jedi Knights, Yeshua," says Anariel. "We were tasked with this mission, and it is our duty to restore order and deal with this threat. The Jedi Council would not have sent us if they did not believe we were capable of resolving this ourselves. And how long would it take for help to arrive? How many more innocents might be slaughtered while we wait for reinforcements? I for one intend to see that there are no further deaths, save those of the raiders."

With those words Anariel spins and moves to leave the bay. "Voda is landing the ship right now. Call for aid if you like, but I am going to investigate the site of the latest raid." The young woman turns and strides out of the bay, heading toward the nearest docking ramp.



- Not trying to be antagonistic; I'm just playing up Anariel's impulsiveness and tendency to be headstrong.

- Also, Anariel will use Heal Self +10 to recover her vitality damage...I don't have my RCR handy, so I'll make the rolls either tonight or tomorrow when I am home.

- As an aside, I noticed that Voda's PC hasn't been posted to the Rogue's Gallery yet.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Yeshua hurries after his friend. The insinuation of cowardice stings, but he is more concerned about her. "Anariel wait! Listen to me, please! Taking reckless action will only lead to more deaths. Ours. We know that we are outnumbered, and this raider suggests that we are also significantly outmatched one for one. If they have any more of those craft, what makes you think they won't use them on us en masse? Their armor can withstand our lightsabers! Do you understand that? We need assistance, and the longer we wait to call the longer they'll take to get here. We must call now!" While for most of this, his voice has remained at a normal volume, though with a desperate tone, it suddenly becomes louder as if to emphasize what he says next. "This is not a matter of courage or cowardice! Do not allow your pride to cloud your judgment."

 

[Rhun]

"Yeshua," says Anariel calmly. "I assure you, I am capable of taking care of myself, for the Force is my ally, and a powerful ally it is. I realize that you are new to knighthood, as are we all. But we are no longer Padawan learners. As Jedi Knights, we will often be expected to operate alone, and may find ourselves facing grave threats. It is our duty to find a way to defeat such threats. Make your call to the Jedi Council. However, we don't even know if the resources are available to aid us with this mission. In the meantime, I will investigate the latest raid. The rest of you are welcome to come with me, or you can remain on the ship. Either way, I am going."
