Arc IV -Spacecity Madness

#1

While standing over the corpse of the abominable creature, the group struggles to catch their breath.

Their comms crackle to life after a few minutes. "The other two signals look they broke off into the streets around this facility," Waz says. Then he quickly adds, "Sorry, everyone all right?"
Give me about 5 minutes after a post, I'll probably edit it a bit before it is finalized.

"Worse-for-wear, for sure!" replies the Twi'lek. "What next?"

Zyla looks up when she hears the voice over the comm; 'Who is that? And why couldn't they have been here to help us beat this thing?!'

"That's just Waz, and the others. You know, the ones that stayed behind to tend to Lyriss."

"What do we do about these other two that escaped the facility???"

'Two more of these creatures? Running loose in the streets? Are there people in danger?' Zyla ask, still rying to get up to speed on the situation.

Arca ponders silently, I don't recall that being a part of the Jedi Code. Still, she's not wrong about what we should do. Aloud he concurs, "And we should act quickly."

Deciding to act, you all are able to talk with Waz to let you know how to get the ground floor. As the building is still partially locked down, you all have to make your way through the holes in the floor the creatures ripped. After several minutes of dancing around exposed wiring, dodging leaking pipes, and avoiding bits of rubble.

The "ground level" exit is ripped open, and the smell of cooked flesh wafts through the air. It appears to you all that one of the creatures ripped its way through, but impacted with one of the defense shields, injuring itself in the process, while also shorting out the shield.

Outside, you all can hear what sounds like blaster fire, some screams, and loud thuds.

You can see a trail of some blood right at the door, andit leads in the direction of the blaster fire, but any accurate tracking of it would take work.

Zyla closes her eyes, let's the sounds of the city drift away, and ask the force to guide them. . .

Varc tries to follow the blood trail, and Zyla tries to use the Force to find a path forward, but both are unable to come up with a clear direction.

Trixie, however, picks up on the various echoes of the cries in the distance and is able to roughly estimate the direction to go.


The group quickly takes off in the direction Trixie indicated. They maneuver through several twists and turns, before the cries become louder. There's also finally visible evidence of fighting, blaster scoring on the walls and what appear to be the splattered remains of bystanders.

While one of the cries still seems further off, Trixie can tell something is nearby, out of sight just a little distance off.

Spoiler:
You all are at this point in a main street of the city. It's empty, though there are hover vehicles far overhead, and rubbling from within the ground indicates some kind of railed transport system beneath you.

To your left is a row of store fronts, several with their windows smashed and destroyed. To the right, across the street, are other storefronts, these all in fine condition (though many have holograms with "foreclosed" or "out of business" displays)

What appear to be sewer grates line the edges of the streets, though for what reason a climate controlled space station would need sewer grates is beyond you all.

Scorch marks pocket the ground and walls leading into the nearest storefront with broken windows.

"Looks like it is the nearest storefront. Who wants to have a look?" Trixie says sheepishly.

"Well, someone's gotta do it." Zyla says before taking a deep breath, and stepping in.

Varc quickly follows after, clearly lost in his thoughts.

The group carefully steps into the broken down shop. Several tables are overturned, and blaster scorches pockmark the wall and floor. There is a distinctly acrid, bile smell, and there is clearly visible blood on the ground. Further towards the back, past rows of empty shelves, the group can just make out a hand on the ground near the back.

You all hear something on the ceiling, but before you can turn around an injured creature drops to the ground inbetween you all, howling in rage (despair). It's right arm is mangled and burned, and there are large welts from blaster fire across its skin.

It lunges wildly, seeking to knock you all to the ground.
Spoiler:
Initiative time, no time to prepare thanks to those failures and the despair

Trixie is gripped by fear and hatred for this creature. She remembers the suffering it caused her. She desperately taps into the darkside. '...this MUST work now!!!'

Zyla ignites her lightsaber and rushes forward to meet the beast head on. 'We've beat one of your kind at full strength. You won't be a problem' Then with a twirl and a thrust, she attacks. Striking the beast with grace and confidence

Zyla carves a gash across the creature, and it screeches in pain.

It rears up and swings straight at her, but misses in its rage:
Spoiler:
monster; attack:
0 Success, 2 Advantages

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

This one is weaker cause of the damage.
It incoherently howls, in pain both from Zyla's attack and from the missing arm and blaster burns.

Trixie takes a step back to defend herself while maintaining her connection to the Force.

Spoiler:
It must have failed to post, sorry, I know I typed up a response but I don't see it
The blade arcs into the beasts flesh, leaving it tottering and just barely clinging to life. The burning ember of fury in its eyes begins to dim, but it doesn't quite drop to the ground.
Spoiler:
You have the lightsaber that does extra damage to these things, correct? I know I talked about this last time you fought one
