[SWSE] Strike hard for the Adamant!

[Padreigh]

ooc: [sblock]Rebreathers! Now I remember what I have forgotten! Blast, that's gonna be fun. Unless the utility belts have rebreathers? Haven't got my books at hand ...
And it is a shame that I can't tell the captain: "Hey, swim is not a class skil for Jedi!" [/sblock]

Chase gives a slight chuckle as he checks the seal on his helmet. "Don't worry, everyone," he says as he looks the group over. "You'll all make it. If not," he says with a slight chuckle, "I'm sure I'll be able to handle it all myself, and then get all the glory."

Adara shakes her head, then motions for everyone to follow her. The Sewer entrance is fast, and son the party is wading through chest-high green sludge in a low tunnel deep under ground. Eventually Adara motions for you to use whatever re-breathers came with your utility belts (ooc: if you have a utility belt, see if you got one with a re-breather), to hold your breath and follow her. She takes out a flare, one that works under water, and dives in.

Everyone who breathes: roll three endurance/constitution checks to hold your breath, and three to swim. Z3R0 doesn't need to, as he can walk along the bottom for as long as he wants. If you have a rebreather, take your time as well. Either way, I want everyone to check in with me please.

Gareth plunges into the (for lack of better words) "water" and tries to dog-paddle his way along. But it is obvious that he really is no swimmer and without his rebreather he would have propably drowned.

[sblock=ooc] I checked my original notes and found that a rebreather was part of my belt (about the only thing I added. If I survive this mission, I am takin a backpack next time...
Things would be much easier though, if that neat "use the force" ability to hold one's breath longer was in the Core rule book.
I rolled twice for swimming nevertheless just to see how much I embarass myself. The answer: a lot.
By the way, I also found out that almost no Jedi in any of the books has the Swim skill. Probably no swimming lessons on the curriculum in the temple. [/sblock]

 

[grufflehead]

Giving a shudder of distaste, Z3R0 wades into the foul water until it rises above his head. He plods along the bottom of the sewer channel, trying his best to keep the flare in sight. At least the others are moving slowly enough that he isn't left behind, so he retracts his tow line and flips open another finger end - this one reveals a flashlight, which he plays across the bottom of the channel in an attempt to make picking a path through any debris that has sunk to the bottom easier.

Chase makes his way through the water, the seal in his helmet eliminating any need to hold his breath. The clone attempts to follow the contact.

 

[Rainmar]

OOC: I have bought a regular utility belt, sadly they dont come with rebreathers Insurance roll, haha

Khor walks into the murky water and dissapears.

The party eventually makes it through. The Venture Captain is an adept swimmer, and with her re-breather goes and helps those caught up in tough currents. The passage twists and turns, but finally an air pocket opens up. There is a ladder leading up it, which everyone climbs to get out.

This building is inside the dome, which you can see through a great crack in the roof. The building was a water filtration plant, one shaped like an L around the equipment; the machines in the crook of the L sit lifeless, a result of the city being overrun by droids who care nothing for the living inhabitants still living there.

Going to peek around the L, you see that the front of the building is likewise broken open, and a quartet of battle droids is marching by on patrol out front.

Adara motions you to hold back a moment, and prepare yourselves.

Here we are. Now, we need to get ready to move from location to location. One foul up and all the droids in the city will know we're here: remember, they're all connected by a central control computer, a hive mind that organizes them and transmits orders for where they should go. If one of them spots us, we have less than a minute to destroy it before it tells the computer what it's seen.

I can take you to the Shield Generator, the Ion Canon, and the Prison where your clone troops are being held. Which one do you want to go to first?

 

[Rainmar]

Water exploded and Khor loudly breathed in. Damn, he thought, if I live thru this mission the first thing I'm gonna do is to get a re-breatcher. Following others, he climbed up to upper level. When he made it to the top with others, he quickly checked his equipment and camo-net. He re-checked the sniping scope and clip in his rifle. After he was done, he started to survey the area looking for more droids and good spots for hiding/sniping.

Hearing Capn' words, he said: "I believe we should free others. Whatever we do first, droids will be alarmed if we succeed and if we were not to free prisioners first, droids might execute them all on the spot. We need them to make a diversion, so we can sneak to another target".

 

[possum]

"Agreed," Chase says as he checks his equipment as well. "We free my brothers and our job will be a lot easier, even if we just let them out and point them at the nearest droid platoon."
