The entire chamber shakes again.
Give me about 5 minutes after a post, I'll probably edit it a bit before it is finalized.

Varc lashes out at the final guard. The guard is able to escape his lightsaber, but Varc continues to use the both his own movements and that of the guard to his advantage.
Spoiler:
Varc ; Lightsaber :
2 Failures, 2 Advantages, 1 Triumph,

ImageImageImageImageImage
I’ll pass the advantages as boosts to the next player. Not sure what the best use of the triumph is though.

The guard trips backward, and as the strange Jedi, Zyla, and Trixie adjust to dodge his sudden movement, the holocron falls from the strange Jedi's pocket.

The guard tries to get a shot off at Varc, managing to direct one at him
Spoiler:
guard; TotOR; attack:
1 Success, 1 Advantage

ImageImageImageImageImage

10 damage coming at Varc.
The strange Jedi darts backward through the open door into the room beyond. As he does so, he shouts to the holocron "Do it again!"
Spoiler:
2 maneuvers, taking strain, 1 to disengage, 1 to move short range from Zyla and Trixie
The holocron yet again shoots a blast of the blue flames at Zyla, this time they force their way through Trixie's protection, and Zyla collapses, apparently writhing in pain. The blasts stops, though, as soon as Zyla hits the ground.
Spoiler:
holocron; TotOR; mysterious blue energy with more Force dice...:
2 Failures, 1 Advantage, 2 Light Side , 3 Dark Side
-2 Success(es) added from talents or equipment
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
The strange Jedi laughs with delight and then pulls at Zyla's form with the Force.
Spoiler:
strange jedi; TotOR; Move Object on Zyla:
1 Failure, 4 Advantages, 4 Light Side , 1 Dark Side
-2 Success(es) added from talents or equipment

fixing some of the strain they've taken with those advantages.

4 strain, 7 wounds taken so far
Even in her weakened state, she is able to anchor herself with the Force.

Waz'aru sprints forward, finally igniting the borrowed lightsaber as he skids to a stop in front of Zyla ready to defend her from another blast of the blue flame. As he straightens up, he once again renews his Misdirect to continue hiding Trixie from the Strange Jedi's sight.

Jarkyc fiddles with the datapad, and the weird glitch effect affecting the holocron ends.

"There wahs an option mahrked off!" Jarkyc shouts, clearly a bit pleased with himself.

The hologram now looks like a normal holocron image. It immediately spins to look at the strange Jedi, malice in its gaze.
Spoiler:
Yes, it should be blue, I couldn't find a blue filter I liked
Lyriss and ST-3R take down the last standing guard.

Arca reaches out through the Force to Zyla and attempts to revive her.
Spoiler:
Arca is nowhere near far enough down the Heal tree to remove status effects, which requires 2 control upgrades (cost 20xp each, which is pricey). Nor can he heal strain (yet), if that's what put her down. He'll try to do whatever he can, but game-mechanically he's limited to wound points (4 of them). In-character he doesn't yet know that she has no wounds, so he has to act on what he knows, not what I as a player know.

Arca Gavalun; Tales of the Old Republic; Force power check:
, 3 Light Side

Trixie takes careful measure for this next strike. Seeing the foe near his end, she is emboldened!

Trixie's blade again carves into the strange Jedi's flesh. The acrid smell and color of the flesh visible thanks to the slices does not appear human, but Trixie cannot tell the species just from the spell of cooked flesh alone.
Spoiler:
-6 Strain, -22 wounds
Spoiler:
Forgot to describe the room, doing so now

the room that Trixie and the strange Jedi are in is a massive cavern.

Near the back to Trixie's left, a large shuttlecraft sits, clearly prepped for take-off. Several droids are loading medical equipment onto it. The craft is marked with Republic Senate markings.

Near the opposite end of the chamber, the back to Trixie's right, a strange round-shaped craft sits. It does not look prepped for takeoff but has several large cables stretching from it into holes in the wall, that Trixie guesses must be the direction of the large chamber with the monster.


The strange Jedi growls, spinning around to look for Trixie but failing to be able to see her. He turns and bolts towards the Republic-marked shuttle.
Spoiler:
strange jedi; TotOR; jump to escape:
, 2 Light Side , 2 Dark Side

ImageImageImage
They move away from Trixie and leap into the air, landing near the shuttle (3 maneuvers away).
Spoiler:
Strain -7, Wounds -22
"Takeoff, now!" they shout at one of the droids, "The supplies we have will have to be enough."

The droids cease what they are doing and begin to work to disconnect a fuel line from the shuttle. It looks to Trixie like she will only have a few seconds (a round or two) before it is ready to takeoff. Everyone else can hear the shout from the strange Jedi, thanks to the excellent acoustics of the room and the speakers built into the helmet project the voice more than would be normal for a shout.

Varc focuses on the force around him in preparation to close the distance with the fleeing foe.
Spoiler:
Though the force is strong here he feels a vileness in the air and thinks better of his actions, choosing not to follow through with his plan.

ST-3R and Lyriss dash forward, closing in on Trixie's position.
Spoiler:
1 maneuver for ST-3R, 2 for Lyriss
ST-3R drops his staff, pulls out his rifle, and fires off a shot at one of the droids working the refueling cable, closer to the Jedi than to the boarding ramp.
Spoiler:
:
1 Success, 1 Threat

ImageImageImageImageImage

7 damage, pierce 4
The droid crumples, leaving the fuel cable still connected.

"I assume the ship will not be able to leave if the refueling cables are not properly removed. It would not be able to make it out of the atmosphere. Or we could try to puncture holes in the ship?

Jarkyc glances over at the holocron, but it's no longer doing anything other than sitting active and glaring menacingly towards the escape shuttle.

he shoves the datapad into his satchel and dashes forwards. He lines up a shot, aiming for the refueling port itself.
Spoiler:
1 maneuver to move closer, refueling place is at long range, but stationary and undefended, so +1 boost, and 1 maneuver to aim +1 boost.

Jarkyc ; TotOR; attack!:
1 Failure, 5 Advantages

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

recovering his 1 strain, and sending 2 boosts to the next active player.
His shot goes a bit wide, not quite hitting its mark. All the droids now look worried about a potential fuel fire and are all moving to shut off the refueling port now.

3 droids are left heading toward the refueling station.

Zyla continues to convulse slightly on the floor.

The holocron guardian turns around and looks at her.


The cavern shakes one more time.

Judging the situation, Trixie is sure that the ship cannot leave the planet's atmosphere as it currently is.

This ship may TRY to take off, anyways, even with the tube attached. This maniac seems determined enough to do it regardless of the consequences. I have to stop him! ...she thinks to herself.

At this point, she will bound forward (2 maneuvers) and engage the weakened Jedi, disarming him of a weapon.
Spoiler:
Two Maneuvers: (+2 Strain)
Opponent takes +1 Strain from Dodge.

Trixie Ulan'jani; TotOR; Lightsaber Strike w/DP:

0 Success, 4 Advantages

ImageImageImageImageImageImage

3 Adv's: Disarm the opponent
1Adv: Pass Boost to the next to act.
Spoiler:
Still on bad Jedi from last attack: Critical (88% "Compromised: +1 Difficulty until end of encounter")

The strange Jedi sends a wave of the Force at Trixie, attempting to hurl her into the wall.

She is able to push back, stabilizing herself and keeping from being moved. Dust and rubble from the assault swirls around the two of them.

Deciding that if the Strange Jedi gets past Trixie and inside the ship, he would most likely head towards the cockpit, Waz'aru sprints toward the front of the vessel. Sliding to a stop Waz'aru reaches up grabbing a protrusion and quicking climbs the nose, placing him almost standing on the cockpit glass, lightsabre , held at ready, pointed downwards

Her convulsions have mostly stopped, but her cheeks have a weird discoloration to them. In addition, she threw up inside the suit.

Varc gets a weird tingling in the back of his neck, as if the Force is trying to tell him something, now that he stops move for a moment.

Jarkyc shoots off another round at the fuel station, and misses yet again.

He curses under his breath.
Spoiler:
Jarkyc; TotOR; shoot:
0 Success, 3 Advantages

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

pass a boost on the next PC
ST-3R takes a shot at the machine and hits home:
Spoiler:
st-3r; TotOR; shoot:
2 Successes, 0 Advantage

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
the machine sparks, and compressed fuel begins spraying out on the floor around the fuel machine. It shouldn't catch fire, but it's going to be corrosive and slippery.

Lyriss sprints towards the boarding ramp to back up Trixie.


The holocron looks at Varc and says, in a very old sounding dialect of common, "She is going to need immediate medical attention."

Arca moves next to Zyla, retrieves a laser scalpel from his medical kit, and proceeds to cut her out of her suit (and helmet) as the most expedient way to render the aid she needs.
