'Axo am going to deploy a turret' as Marinez deploy turret up

turret heals Marinez

Marinez +10hp
Turn 3/4 (Turret's Turn)
Axo -10hp (Downed)
Marinez -10hp

Laigrek General (37.5hp) > Marinez (10hp) + Turret (10hp)

Summoning the turret extend cycle long enough to take Axo down, preventing him to use turn for healing, if only Turret had its turn skipped Axo would be able to heal everyone.

Laigrek General - G Knife - Marinez

DOT 10 dps physical bleeding (1 target 4 turns)
Counter: Force Barrier, Ray Shield, Saber Defense, Evasion

The member 'StoryGuide' has done the following action : Dices roll

'Strength' : 16

15+16=31DC

Marinez try to evade his attack even though he already wounded and trying his best to stay alive 'Damn you'

Axo groans and slowly collapses before Marinez's feet, unable to stand up the heat from the burning. His light on his helmet shuts down, and he no longer shows any sign of movement.

Marinez was already too weak to fight after his recovery and falls to the ground beside Axo

Automatic Faliure: Survival is not a possible counter
Marinez downed by Laigrek General
Turret explodes without its owner

Laigrek General defeated republic soldier and the medic. It called for the rest of the insects, and now the Vigilance Beacon is taken by the insects. Fyria's team will have nowhere to return. Ceviran will soon re-group with Fyria, hopefully this team can defeat Tari, because she is on the visual, running away from Fyria, Barracudas and Blood'Gunner.

Tari runs forward, she activates her two short lightsabers and jumps towards a door. Her lightsabers tear the door to that point that Tari herself could break it in air with her knee. She lands inside a new hall and looks back over her shoulder at her pursuits, then she kneels up and continues running. As soon she lifts her foot from the floor, dust and small rocks rise in air, floating slowly. There is the Force here, and this was not done by her. If crew would follow her, they would slowly realse that these are no longer chambers and walls of the jedi academy ... it was something else, some deeper place, where communication with world outside is blocked or has very weak signal.

Seeing their target a bit farher away. Barracudas starts focusing on the force to boost her speed ever more (force speed). Sprinting ahead of her 2 crew members she just sees Tari kicking in the door and disappearing in the new opening. Not hesitating she immediatly follows her, using her momentum to dive into the hole and upon entering the chamber revovers from it in a blink. However instead of continuing the persuit she gets caught off guard because of the inerior of the new room. Feeling the presence of the force so strongly makes her more suspicious. "What is this place?" Looking around to inspect the new chamber (archeology). "Was I wrong earlier? Was this what the force wanted us to find?" She ponders.

Archeology Success

These ruins, they are too old to be recognized, unless you were a jedi nerd and paid attention on classes. The design of ceiling and walls now, visible here and there through the earth, are obviously remains of the Rakatan Infinite Empire.

Environmental Hazard: Dark Side
All light side creatures suffer penalty to DC and Effects reduced by 25%

As soon the young twi'lek padawan makes another step into the ruins, the concentration of the force activates another vision.

"These ruins, they appear to be... Rakatan! But even after all these years I can still feel the nexus of energy flowing arround." She says to no-one. Reaching out with her own powers she immediatly pulls them back. She sighs. "Dark energy. Why is it always dark. Why do we always discover dark nexus points? Can't we for once find a..." She suddenly interrupts herself. The force stopping her by sending her and only her another vision. Witnessing the event she tries to make sense out of it. "That was Revan! Did they find something here that led them to the Star Forge?!" She thinks to herself while gasping. But seeing her fellow crew members emerging out of the door she starts the persuit again. "This can wait, we have to stop this first." She concludes.

Tari arrives before the door from Barracuda's vision, and then she stops. Now she turns and faces Barracudas, holding two short lightsabers, red in one hand and blue in other hand. "You felt it too, didn't you? Darkness must be stopped, why did you follow me here, why did your team killed my people? We turned against sith empire, and this is how we are rewarded? Do you even know who are you after ... padawan?"

Stopping a few meters away, she activates her own lightsabers but doesn't make any further move. "While it is impressive of you to know that I am a Padawan, I know that you are a Revanite. You may have turned from the empire, but you are not Jedi either. Yes I feel the dark side and I'm pretty sure what the object in that chamber is. But we closed off this chamber for a reason. You must realise that." She responds.

Tari chuckles: "Not that impressive, you still have padawan braid hanging. I wonder why, the Force within you bypasses such rank, I suppose that jedi council is making mistakes, even today they do not appriciate the work and talent of their students, don't you agree?" Tari motions towards the sealed door: "Chamber may be closed but the object inside ... it activated, if not me, someone else will come for it, for it sends strong signal and the call into galaxy network, it ... must be destroyed."

Barracudas doesn't know how to respond to the first part, knowing that her own passing rites have had difficulties in the past. But she gets confused about the second apart. "Wait, you want to destroy the artifact? You caused all this trouble for an useless cause? The artifacts are indestructable. They repair themselves. I don't know what activated this one, but if you destroy it now, you will only delay what will eventually happen again. And you won't be there then to stop it."

"And you caused all this trouble to stop me? I wonder what would happen if you jedi start using conversation instead to kill my people on sight in a cold blood. I felt their lives fade away, and I know they did not attack first, because that is not our way, because that would case conflict in the balance and lean towards the dark side. If you know that I am Revanite, then you know that we follow his ways, he was Jedi and Sith, he knows the both sides, and to know them both, you must find the center of the Force." Tari sounds peacefully even if her words are obviously hostile, she clearly did not forgive actions of the Vigilance Beacon Crew. "Why would I revive my plans to you now, you are obviously an enemy, and you struck down first, without even trying to find a peaceful way, your people are no better than sith. Revan realized the mistakes of Jedi Council before everyone else, no wonder he turned against them. And your silence to the comment about your council reveals more truth than you wish to accept."

Barracudas' Options:
1. [Attack]
2. [Diplomacy 18DC (1/3)] You make a good point, maybe I should join you.
3. [Bluff (1/3) 18DC (1/3)] You make a good point, maybe I should join you.
4. Free RP

3. [Bluff 18DC (1/3)] You make a good point, maybe I should join you.

Barracudas looks away hearing the comment of the council again. "Neither side is perfect." She admits. "But I didn't make the call to attack first and ask questions later. My captain and superior decided and I had to follow. I tried it earlier and I try it even now with you. I spared one of your members. The leader, the one without a lightsaber. It is not honorable to kill an opponent that has no chance to defend himself. We have him secured. I tried to negotiate his surrender but he refused so I had to knock him out. But they attacked the local wildlife without provocation, even boasted about it. But say that I agree with what you say? So what? It won't end our current situation."

Fyria rushes in the area and regroups with Barracudas finally, she does not have force speed to catch up. She and her beast are not affected by the taint of the dark side of the Force, because they are neutral. Fyria activates her lightsaber and prepares to attack Tari, and her beast roars, ready to tear the Revanite apart.
Fyria: "You have nowherrre to rrrun anymorrre, surrrenderrr or perrrish like the rrrest of yourrr scum!"
