Star Wars: We Joined the Rebellion for This?!

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Karr:[sblock] Through the rocks and the slightly jagged path leading down the canyon, you can see the movement coming in. At first, you can only make out a series of white figures, about eight or so, maybe more, but another moment later and you can see an AT-ST moving, albiet slowly, with them.

They're probably a few minutes out with the rocks and the speeders in the way.[/sblock]

"If there's someone coming its not our people," the woman said as she looked over the group, then added, "I knew this was too small to be an actual attack. Guess they're other force was held up and they got impatient."

"What about the archives?" Akan asked with a slight glance to Karr, a look on his face showing he didn't really want to know what the electrobinoculars were showing.

"The back door is still clear. Should be downloading the information off of the main computers to load into a speeder and get out of here safely. Either way, we're going to have to find us a knew home. Charges are set already and we'll blow it once we've got everything out that we can carry," the woman, who, after close inspection, wore the rank badge of a Commander, paused and then shrugged her shoulders, "If there's anything you're particularly attached to I'd suggest getting it now, Akan. We're not leaving anything behind for the Imperials to grab."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Issachar steps forward, "How many injured do you have? I'll see what I can do for them."

 

[Elephant]

Peering at the walker through his electrobinoculars, Karr cursed softly. "An AT-ST and at least eight stormtroopers. Let's hurry, people!" Karr looks at the woman who came out from the entrance. "Commander? We're at your disposal."

 

[Rhun]

Cydarius continues to hold his weapon at the ready. "I can take out the stormies, but I don't like the thought of firing on that scout walker." He turns his head slightly to look at the commander. "How much time do you to finish your evacuation?"

 

[Brother Allard]

Jate sidles past the others without so much as a word - which is odd for the generally chatty Anomid. Must be the stress of battle. He moves swiftly to examine the stormies' speeder.

OOC: Any chance he might hotwire this thing? disable device +11, repair +11, craft (electronic devices) +11. If not, he'll quickly ransack it.

"I really hate those things..." Varren mumbles as his compatriot mentions the AT-ST headed towards the rebel base. Moving quickly, he volunteers to help evacuate the base and move any essential equipment out of it.

"If you guys need information I'd suggest getting what you need and getting out of...here..." by the time Akan had finished speaking, many of the group had moved to different places to inspect other things, leaving the human to stand there and slump his shoulders with a sigh.

The Commander didn't seem as bothered as Akan, taking Karr's information with only a frown on her face that lasted for a few seconds before she wiped it away, "We can hold them here. That walker's going to have trouble down here. Amazes me the bucket heads would try to drag it all the way down here. Best to get out of here as quickly as you can and we'll set up a bit of a distraction to help give the evacuation more time. The back door is about forty meters down that way, shielded by a few rocks. But there should be a pair of speeders being loaded as we speak."

At the mention of wounded, the previously silent man that had exited the entrance with the Commander looked to Issachar and finally spoke up in a surprisingly quiet voice, "A group of TIEs hit us from above first...a few cave ins. No one killed, but some broken bones and other injuries. Beyond that, we've been lucky. There were two others with us holding this position but they were hit. I doubt there's anything you can do for them."

Jate:[sblock]The speeder is large enough inside to hold far more troops than were actually present. You can see the viewport has a hole in it, and the pilot has a blaster scar on his face...in addition to the fact that he doesn't look to be breathing.

Beyond that, though, the thing seems to be perfectly operational. None of the other systems look to have been damaged beyond the pilot and a few hits to the hull that didn't seem to do any major damage.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

How far our are the storm troopers? Are they near enough for Rath to start sniping them?

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

OOC: The Stormtroopers are out of visual range without the aid of a scope or binoculars for the moment.

 

[Rhun]

"Well, we've got a few minutes. Let's get these speeders moving, and get everyone out of here. I believe it is time to initiate a strategic withdrawl." Cydarius moves into a good position to keep an eye on the coming reinforcements with the scope of his rifle, while staying hidden behind one of the boulders. "I've got rear guard."
