STARLIGHT Low Blow (Episode 1)

Barracudas: 11+5=16vs10 success
Axo 18+0+sneak attack 17.5=35.5vs10 success

Barracudas uses the Force to push the flames away and throws the heavy trooper in the wall, where he hits with gas cylinder on his back into the metal wall and under high pressure explodes, killing one of the four members of the imperial squad. Second trooper did not see Axo coming. Before he knew, Axo took him down with surprise, breaking his neck instantly. Two more troopers remains and they open fire at Barracudas and Axo.

Turns: Barracudas > Axo > Imperial Special Force 3/4

Deflecting the incoming blaster fire. Barracudas starts rushing to the 2 remaining soldiers to end the fight and start defusing the bomb.

Barracudas: All StrenghtDCvs10 success

Barracudas killed the remaining troopers before they could hit him and Axo. Now what remains is to disable the big bomb before everything explodes. The bomb is set on timer, and as jedi padawan outranks medic, it is his call what to do with bomb now.

[Bomb requirement 3x10 demolition]

Axo looks nervously at the big bomb and when the padawan tells him to defuse the bomb, he did not take the pressure well. The jedi placed all the lives now in his hands, and Axo did not see any republic trooper nearby to call for help, so he better does something or the bomb will explode anyway. When the  padawan, years younger than Axo started to flirt in this situation with him, Axo blushed and at the same time was concerned for her maturity to make those decisions in moments like this. But she looked more than good enough for him and her positive stance even now in this moment inspired him. "Um ... I ... need to defuse the bomb then. I am medic I don't have big experience with bombs, not the big ones anyway. But it should not be difficult." As Axo shyly replies back to beautiful twi'lek, he kneels down before the bomb and attempts to turn it off.

6+5+5=16vs10 success
19+5+5=24vs10 success
10+5+5=20vs10 success
final = success

Axo defuses the big bomb despite of lot of pressure. Hospital Station and the Evacuating Ship are safe from the explosion. As Wiy's fleet covers the protection in space, and Barracudas together with Axo took care of the problem inside the station, they saved many lives. Barracudas may now send the reports to Wiy.

"Master Wiy this is Padawan Barracudas, the bomb is defused! I repeat the bomb is defused!  The station is safe, the evacution can continue without risk to approching Republic Forces" Barracudas transmits over the radio. "I don't know the status of Master Lin'Drala what are my orders?" 

"But first Axo's reward" She thinks. She turns to him, comes very close and says: "Our hero deserves a reward." and gives Axo a passionate kiss on the lips for a whole 10 seconds before being interrupted by Master Wiy.

Cough of guard with the kiss, Axo did not know what to do and did not want to be rude. Why should he? Pink twi'lek is kissing him. He did not know what to do with his hands, where to put them, because she has the tentacles coming out of her head, not hair, so his hands just hang out in the air as he is being stunned with the passionate kiss. He thought that defusing the bomb was the best thing that happened him today, but not anymore, not after this. But that general Wiy, he had to interrupt it ...

Barracudas and Axo secured the last Evacuation Ship. By defusing the bomb, they bought enough time to people of republic to get on board of the evacuation ship, which jumps into light speed. Now with innocent lives, wounded soldiers and doctors out of the battle field, Wiy approaches the space battle more aggressively. But everyone forgot about one thing - The Bridge. Sith Lord destroyed all the computers for controlling the Space Hospital Station. Fire and electricity are covering the bridge now, and the main system is damaged. Two big engines on the side of hospital station shut themselves down, and now the gravity of Azure planet overpowers the other six remaining engines that are still working. Hospital Station in space leans towards the planet, and everyone inside it would feel that they don't have much time left to stay on the station. Wiy notices the position of the station and quickly sends the message about it for those who are inside, to get the hell out of there ...

Final Phase
Step 0/5

Lin'drala looks to the Jedi padawan Barracudas and to Axo as well. "We must defeat this foe on every turn or it will have all been for naught. Young padawan you have fought bravely against this Sith but now we must walk a separate path, you and Axo will go and stop the imperial special forces and the explosives. I must face the Sith Lord again... Go now my friends and may the force be with us all." Upon finishing her words the Jedi master ran and leaped after the Sith Lord in hopes of stopping the Sith from killing his target. The Sith Lord is cutting through the ceiling of elevator, making a hole in it while Marinez and Welaho are down on the floor to keep distance from the red lightsaber that is inside the elevator. Elevator finally reaches the destination and its door open on the secret level deep inside the Hospital Station. Welaho runs out from the elevator into the room full of research projects, calling for Marinez to follow. Monitors on the computers and holographic images show dig sites of many planets, but the planet that appears the most is Ilum. Welaho sits on the chair for the main computer and plugs in datapad to download all the research for Marinez. Sith Lord follows them, he exits the elevator, and the Lin'drala lands on her feet through the hole that Sith Lord created on the elevator, she lands inaudibly on her feet behind the Sith Lord, but he senses her presence because she is strong in the force and only smiles, while still having his back turned at her, and facing Marinez and Welaho. "You could not stop me before, what makes you think you can stop me now, when you are divided?" The Sith Lord spoke to Lin'drala, even if he was still facing Marinez, his eyes locked at Marinez's assault cannon.

Turns: Lin'drala > Sith Lord > Marinez > Sith Lord

Lin'drala brought her lightsaber into hand and activated it, the magenta blade ignited, "Because this time there will be no interruptions, Sith... you are blind, lost in hate and the illusion of power, I have sensed the darkness in you, I have felt it but it is not too late for you to turn away from this path. One can always find redemption. Surely if you seek a true test of your powers than face me or perhaps inside you are afraid of the truth." Lin'drala speaks her words with the hope that if the Sith lord will not surrender then perhaps at least his attention will fall back to her.

17+17=34vs10 success
Step 1/5

Sith Lord relaxes the grip of his lightsaber, but that does not mean he is not aware of his enemies. "There is the truth in your words. But it cannot be simple as that. I've been at your place once ... long time ago. With everything you are forbidden, there is simply no freedom." The sith looks over his shoulder at Lin'drala. "I have seen both paths, but have you? Or you words just come from one point of view?" Lin'drala has his attention now. But will Marinez be able to continue this battle of words now, or he has other plans for the sith.

Turns: Lin'drala > Sith Lord > Marinez > Sith Lord

While Lin'drala Kept the Sith Lord attention away for a moment he reached behind his back and pulls out a flash grenade, activated it then throw it at the Sith Lord shouting at the Jedi 'COVER YOUR EYES!' Marinez quickly hides to the nearest thing he can see, his helmet protects him from flash bang so he can see clearly then he prepare his assault cannon in case.

10+22=32vs10 success
Step 2/5
Marinez 10+22+10=42 vs Lin'drala (needs to make DC vs Marinez's flash grenade)

Sith Lord quickly looks at Marinez as he shouts but it was too late. Flash grenade explodes in bright light, blinding the Sith Lord and anyone looking at it. Welaho covered his eyes on time as he was with Marinez and saw him on time what he was going to do. He continued downloading data research about gree artifact. Sith Lord growls in rage as he turns towards Lin'drala, he is maybe blind but he can still sense her. Lin'drala had good start with conversation to convert the Sith Lord to light side, but now she will never have that chance again, the Sith Lord Tazor enrages, and now no words can reach his heart. "I did not expect that jedi will play unfair like this, and use tricks of conversation to deceive me so that their pets can back stab me. It is time for you to feel the full power of the dark side!" Sith Lord's body covers in dark red mist, and he charges at Lin'drala, because he senses her better than others, for she is stronger in the force than non force users.

OOC: 3 steps remain but Sith Lord is enraged. He deals 2.5 life damage every time you fail DC. He is also immune to social skills and mind affecting attacks. If Lin'drala fails DC against flash grenade, her all DC will be halved as result of being blind until effect ends in 3 turns, if she successes, she will be able to fight like she isn't blind.

Turns: Lin'drala > Sith Lord > Marinez > Sith Lord

Lin'drala attempts to cover her eyes from the flash of the grenade.

Lin'drala was completely caught of guard by the flash grenade as well and was hit by its full effects. She had no choice but to rely on her force powers same as the Sith Lord. As she felt the Sith charge Lin'drala tried to force push the Sith away.

Marinez 10+22+10=42 vs Lin'drala 1 (Lin'drala is Blinded for 3 turns)
Lin'drala (5+7)/2=6vs10 faliure (Life 8-2.5=5.5)

The Force was with the Sith Lord this time. He shoots red lighting through Lin'drala's force push, shocks the Jedi Master and brings her down on the floor. He grows again with satisfaction as his rage grows and then attacks Lin'drala with heavy swing of his lightsaber, that is now in red lighting itself. "Now you fall, as all Jedi must! Aarrrgghh!"

Turns: Lin'drala > Sith Lord > Marinez > Sith Lord

"This battle is not over yet!" Lin'drala meets the lightning infused lightsaber of the Siths with here own and attempts to over power him with her own Lightsaber. She senses the situation appear dire but her resolve remains strong.
