[SWSE] Strike hard for the Adamant!

[fireinthedust]

The direction is clear: you need to head through whatever brush-for-cover you can until you reach a sewage treatment plant outside of the Ray Shield dome. Your communicator has a line-map on it showing the way, and you have a fairly god idea of how to head there.

Everyone should roll Stealth, or some relevant other roll, to get themselves to the site undetected. Feel free to aide another, if you can. Strategies to make this happen are welcome (ie: you have an idea of how to go about it you want to explain to me, that would make it a simple matter for the group to do all of this stuff).

The droids are generic battle droids on sky speeder vehicles. Really just lookout droids, and fairly high up. If they see you, they'll call for help.

Chase lowers his blaster rifle slightly as he sees only patrol droids far away. He finishes consulting the map and points to a location on the horizon. "Right around there," he says. "I'll get more specific as we get closer."

The ARC begins to head towards the city, but is absolutely horrible at sneaking.

Stealth check (1d20+5=6)

 

[Rainmar]

Khor nods and turns to face the dome. Again, takes a quick glance, he moves few steps into the bush...and he's not there.

1d20+15=25

OOC: Because Khor can move with normal speed without hurting his stealth check, he scouts are before the party. Does Camo net give any bonuses? Khor looks for signs of ambush/droids/whatever might be dangerous. 1d20+8=18

Gareth tries to move towards their target as silently as possible.

 

[grufflehead]

OOC: Don't have a book at work - what does the skill for 'communications' come under? By that I mean, how to intercept comms, encrypt/decrypt etc

While the others begin to move off stealthily, Z3R0 momentarily steps behind the wreckage of the escape pod and fiddles with 'something' at the side of his head. Apparently satisfied, he begins to try and move forward - his poorly articulating hip joints mean he moves in a curious shambling sort of motion.

 

[fireinthedust]

z3r0: Communications... I think it's under Computer Use. If that's what you're doing: scanning with a tech doohickey.

IC:

The group moves forward, through the brush and towards the sewage factory. As you get closer, while there are droids overhead, they don't manage to spot you; chalk it up to bulk manufacture over quality craftsmanship!

As you get to the final blip on your map, you hear a shrill whisper off to one side: it's your contact!

She is a gorgeous Urmian human female. Athletic, fit, with short black hair and wearing one of those black stealth suits to make the body seem like merely a silhouette when in shadows. She's got a belt around her hips with a blaster and some other utilities, and a computer communicator strapped to her forearm.

I am Venture Captain Adara, your contact. I'd ask for a code, but you're the only breathers around with a blaster, and one of you is a clone trooper! If you're half as good as I was led to believe... it's about time you showed up!

She motions for you to follow her, and she seems very much to be in a hurry.

We need to hurry if we're going to get that shield down, before the battle is lost completely. Is your droid going to be able to swim?

 

[grufflehead]

OOC: Z3R0 will try to use his own commlink to pick up any signals being broadcast by the enemy droids. If he can pinpoint any frequencies, codewords etc they are using it might come in handy later - useful information if he tries to use Deception... First roll was rubbish so used Knack to re-roll. And second roll was even worse. I'm going back to Invisible Castle at this rate - 4 rolls and nothing in double figures!

 

[grufflehead]

'Swim?!' said Z3R0 letting out what might have been a metalic chuckle. His head rotated to take in the woman. Seeing her stony faced look he said 'you're...serious, aren't you?'.

For the second time in the space of a few minutes, a short burst of most undroid-like words crackled from his vocabulator.

'I'm afraid, multi-talented as I am, my creator stupidly forgot to program me with underwater capabilities. I'm going to have to rely on one of you'. His LED eyes dimmed slightly as he said it.

Holding up his right hand, the end of another of his fingers popped open and a thin line of synth-rope started to spool out.

'Who wants to do the honours?' he asked.

 

[Padreigh]

"Swimming? Not really my strong side as well, Captain", Gareth admits.
"Are we talking proper swimming here or wading?"

Despite his concerns, Gareth prepares to follow the captain, ignoring the droid and its rope.

 

[fireinthedust]

You can't swim?! What kind of crack black ops troops are you? Terrible... my people are doomed.... Well, it's more that you'll have to swim a short distance, not overly long. Do you all have re-breathers? Some of the way will be under water. There's a ladder at the end, so your clanker should be fine.
