Mission One: The Facility

[Dennurek]

Glad to help, sorta. Dennurek nodded at Ku's handy-work and replied, "Well done Ku. Let's continue shall we? I'll search the droids before I follow to see if they had any important information."

Dennurek walked cautiously up to the now dead and somewhat sizzling droids from Ku's light saber and began to search.

Map 1-11

Dennurek: You sift through the wreckage quickly, attempting not to singe your clothes or hands on the broken, sparking parts. Much of what you find is useless, but you manage to uncover an intact grappling spike launcher. Unfortunately, it has been used and would need to be reloaded before you could actually utilize it.

Ku moves quickly and easily past the door, Alyaza following quickly behind. The door itself is missing. A ragged edge is all that's left. Ku and Alyaza stop short of the end of the hallway which ends in an elevator. The elevator itself is intact, but the control panel has been ripped from the wall and several wires jut out at awkward angles.

Dax following in suit, edges her way to the door and peers inside. The room has minimal lighting. Shafts of light come in through holes in the exterior and some of the installed lights are actually working at reduced power. The room was once probably a show room of sorts. Rows and rows of droids are lined up neatly in varying sizes and models. In the far right corner (BB 24) stands a large mech. Dax is unable to ascertain if it would need to be piloted or if it would operate on its own, but the large missile banks on its shoulder sure appears intimidating. Many of the droids appear to be in decent condition, but others have fallen over, or have pieces missing. In some cases they even appear to have decayed. Many of the droids which no longer stand upright have a variety of small ragged holes in their metal exteriors.

[Ku Tan]

"Oh, it's an elevator... probably our passage farther into the facility. I don't have much experience with actually fixing things...perhaps Dennurek can be of help here." Ku said, hoping that the party wouldn't upset more problems.

Ku walked back to the room that Dax was looking into, noting the droids. Huh, that large droid looks like it could be trouble to deal with. Perhaps we can find out more about it.

Ku attempted to walk into the room and make his way over to the large droid, stepping around anything that had fallen. When he reached the droid, he tried to see if he could figure anything out about it.


Intelligence roll for knowledge: 10 + 2 = 12

Loc: AA-24

[Dennurek]

Sifting through the wreckage of the droids, Dennurek finds a used grappling spike launcher. It looks like it needs to be reloaded before use, but I'll hold onto it for now. Grabbing the spike launcher, Dennurek moves towards Ku and Alyaza, silently approaching their spot next to the elevator.

Move silently = 16 + 6 = 22

Dennurek being silent in the shadows arrives next to Alyaza and Ku. "How about I take a look at that control panel?" He takes the control panel and starts to see how to connect the panel to the wires from the wall.

Repair = 6 + 4 = 10

Loc: U-29

[Dax]

Dax followed Ku into the room, and stopped to examine the area. She carefully looked about, keeping a suspicious eye on the droids. 

Spot Check:  3 + 2 = 5

Listen Check: 18 + 0 = 18 

Location: W-26

[Alyaza]

There was an ominous feeling about the room full of droids. As Ku walked by them Alyaza saw the light from his lightsaber reflect off their metal bodies. They looked like they had been standing silent guard for a long time now. How long has this place been abandoned? Guessing it must be a long time seeing as some of these are basically scrap metal now. What caused the holes in these ones on the ground though? A blaster pistol? If so we weren't the first ones to have come through here... I guess I will just have to check them out. 

Move silently: 17+2= 19

You can discern that it is remotely controlled and does not need to be piloted. Some missiles are loaded into the launcher but its unclear if they're usable.

You see the parasites only moments before they drop the ground and surround you. Distracted by them, you see nothing more.

Dennurek quickly and expertly creates a mock control panel for the elevator. Rubbing a few of the wires together, he is able to get the thick solid doors to open with a groan. Inside is a simple elevator with another panel indicating that they can go down one level further into the facility.

Dax hears skittering coming from all around her. The noises seem to stop as she stops and resumes when she moved as if something was following her. As Dax moves further into the room, she finally notices many creatures( Balmorran metal parasites) with elongated mouths and claws scampering around on the ceiling. A high pitched screech echoes through the room and many of the parasites drop from the ceiling and crawl up from the floor to surround you.

OOC: The parasites have surprised you, so we'll enter a surprise round. This means they get to act first regardless of your initiative, and then the rest of you will act as before in the last combat sequence.


Parasite 5 hits Ku for 3 damage
Parasite 3 misses
Parasite 4 Hits Dax for 1 damage

Turn order is: Ku, Dennurek, Dax, Parasites, then Alyaza

[Ku Tan]

Ku jumped in surprise when he was bitten in the leg when he was confused from all the screeching, gasping in pain. He whirled around to see a strange parasite next to him. He attempted to slash at it with his lightsaber.

Movement: N/a
Attack action: 13 + 3 = 16 > 6 (hit).
Damage: 2d8 : 4 + 1 = 5. Parasite 5 loses 1 vitality, 3 wound.

Ku managed to slice off one of the legs of the parasite, but it was still able to fight.

[Dennurek]

"And voila! One elevator ready." Dennurek stood back at his handiwork and turned around to begin to follow the rest of the party back to the room they had past when he saw the parasites skittering towards him. "God dammit what did they do now? Here we go again."

Movement: None
Free Action: Draw Blaster Pistol
Standard Action: Attack Parasite 2 at U-26

Attack Roll: 7 + 1 = 8 > 6 (hits)
Damage Roll: 5 + 6 + 4 = 15 (dies)

Drawing his blaster pistol out, Dennurek shot straight and true at the first parasite coming towards him, blowing it apart with it's guts exploding.

[Dax]

Dax removed her quarterstaff from its sleeve on her back, and moved to attack. 

Movement: N/A

To Hit: 19 + 3 - 4 = 18 > 6 (hit)
          18 + 3 -4 = 17 > 6 (hit)

Damage: 2 - 1 (DR) = 1 damage to vitality 
            4 - 1 (DR) = 3 damage to wounds 

All aimed at parasite4. 

[Alyaza]

"Augh!! I guess this explains the damage to these droids. Metal parasites!" Alyaza aimed her still drawn pistol at the parasite nearest to her and fired...

Movement: none
Attack action aimed at parasite 3: 9+3= 12>6 (hits) 
Damage: lgheo2hmp_1-6 +p_1-6 +p_1-6 -2=9 >5 (kill)

The round went straight in between the parasite's two beady little eyes and it feel with a thud. The adrenaline from the kill made her feel alive and she watched as Ku sliced the leg off the one in front of him and as Dax smashed another. A small part of her lived in the chaos of battle. 1-6�1-6�1-6

The parasite in front of Ku wheels away, hissing in pain. It eyes him warily before turning quickly and lashing out at Alyaza. It manages to get a quick scratch in. 

The two parasites cornering Dennurek rush toward him. One falls almost instantly due to his quick reactions and accuracy. The other rushes forward after screeching in response to the death of its mate and manages to take a bite out of his arm before backing away slightly, trying to figure out the next best move.

The two parasites surrounding Dax edge around her slowly, and then both rush in trying to get the advantage. Both manage to get in a few good slashes. One however, stops during its assault, a smoking hole in its head. Its lifeless body moves no more. 


OOC: 

Parasite 5 does 2 damage to Alyaza before it dies
Parasite 1 Does 2 damage to Dennurek.
Parasite 3 does 3 damage to Dax
Parasite 4 does 1 damage to Dax

[Ku Tan]

"Such nasty little buggers!" Ku exclaimed while he readied himself up for another attack at the parasite that had scratched at Alyaza.


Movement: N/a

Attack action: Parasite 5,  10 + 3 = 13 > 6.

TewRJyo3p_2d8  - 1(DR) = 2 damage to parasite 5.


Ku advances and stabs the lightsaber down into the head of the parasite before it can move again. "Got this one finally!" Ku said, then scanned the room to see if there were anymore.2d8

[Dennurek]

The second parasite screeched and then latched onto Dennurek's arm, taking a bite. He thrashes his arm until the parasite backs away. "Time to join your friend you biter."

Movement: None
Standard Action: Attack Parasite 1 at U-28

Attack Roll: 14 + 1 = 15 > 6 (hit)
Damage Roll: 1 + 6 + 6 = 13 (dies)

With a shot from his pistol, the last parasite in Dennurek's part of the hallway was dead. "Parasites," he said with disgust. "I'm hoping these are the last ones to deal with."

Dennurek strode down the hallway and readied his pistol again in case there were others escaping through the doorway the rest of his party had gone through.

Loc: U-25

The parasite closest to Dax takes her moments of indecision and lunges again, but misses due to some fancy footwork. The creature almost seems to glower as it primes itself to jump again.

OOC: Dax's Turn is skipped. Monster Turn is done. Alyaza's turn currently.

[Alyaza]

The parasite closest to Ku lashed out and scratched her leg. Son of a Bith... That hurt. She pointed her pistol at it in anger, but Ku took it down before she could get a shot of. Taking her anger elsewhere, Alyaza spots the last living parasite and notices Dax hesitating. I guess I will just have to take care of this last one then. She thought with a small smile on her face. 

Movement: Run to Y-27
Attack: parasite 4 

Blaster pistol: L1ZBGq1op_1d20+3=14 >6 (hits) 

Damage: p_1-6+p_1-6+p_1-6-1= 9 

She aimed her pistol at the parasite and pulled the trigger. The creature crumpled to the ground and the silence that followed the echo of the blast was profound. So quiet after a battle. 

"Well I think that takes care of all of them. Everyone alright?" 1d20�1-6�1-6�1-6

[Ku Tan]

Ah, finally they're all dead, I wonder how everyone else is holding up. Ku thought wearily.

"Well, that was interesting, such parasites. This droid isn't doing much, but it looks like it can be commanded remotely, let's hope that there aren't more of them."

Ku walked to the door, hoping to see the state of the elevator and if Dennurek had been assaulted like them and noticed Dennurek by the door. "How goes repair of the door?" he asked.

Loc: V-25

[Dennurek]

Dennurek raised his blaster pistol close to his lips, blew across it in a mocking fashion (as if gun smoke was still trailing from it), and smiled at Ku. "Parasites eliminated and the elevator is open. Not sure for how long since it's just a slight mock-up panel, but it'll do for now."

He looked at the carnage of the parasites splattered throughout the room, satisfied that everyone seemed to be upright after the attack. "May I ask what in this world you disturbed to summon those parasites?"

[Alyaza]

"Well it looks like the only direction we can go is down from here. We should wait for Dax before we get in this elevator though. I do not want to leave a comrade behind."

As the last attacking parasite falls, the others retreat back into the shadows, or climb into the ceiling. Many more remain there on the various durasteel crossways, peering down at you. While silent, their beady eyes never leave you as they continue to harvest small pieces of their metal home. The silent guardians on the floor remain motionless in the gloom, waiting to be eaten.

OOC: As you guys already have, combat is over and you may resume the semi-formal posting format . Also note that the elevator area is open despite the fact that there is a black line blocking your path. I'm keeping the line there to define the area of the elevator.

[Ku Tan]

"Well, we should leave the rest of them alone, let us meet in the elevator without making the rest of them angry." Ku said and headed to wait for the others in the elevator.

Loc: T - 30

[Dennurek]

And there Ku goes again, ready for the next thing around the corner. Perhaps we should heal first so we aren't surprised with what appears from the elevator...

Dennurek sighed, and followed quietly to the elevator.
