Star Wars: A Veiled Threat

Gloopra picked up the blaster again as he got to his feet and felt the engines kick into life. He listened to the announcement. At first, he assumed the man was an amateur, getting in way over his head by trying to capture Jedi without really appreciating what that meant. Then he heard that the man was sending droids. If it was more of the ones from outside, then this would be quick. He then finished the communications "Alright, you can try to kill us, but I can't promise you'll survive either." He said, before pulling out his comm-link "Ricky, we've been trapped, lock onto my location and begin pursuit." He ordered. "If you don't hear from us in a few minutes, shoot this craft down." Of course, R7 didn't have access to the Silencer's weapons systems to fire, but this blaze or flames or whatever the hell his name was didn't know that. He readied the blaster, before hearing an all-too-familiar sound and having a minor flashback to his pirating days fighting against the Zann Consortium.

"Droideka's, and just when I don't have any grenades on me" he grunted, before throwing down the blaster and following Fufuro. "Fufuro, do you have any grenades? their weakness is that they only reflect energy, not physical matter. If you can roll a grenade into it's shields to where it explodes inside, it'll wreck it." He quickly panted. He then looked at the others. "What, the Zann Consortium used to use them all the time." He didn't bother to wait for a response as he walked over to one of the walls and felt along it. Nothing behind the wall, he took out his lightsaber. "In any case, we'll have a better time if we go around them." He then stuck the green blade into the wall, before beginning to cut a hole for them to move through.

It was a quiet trip aboard the transport, Gloopra sat next to Fufuro as they trundled along. He got out his comm-link. "R7, prepare for sortie. Get the ship into a stable orbit above my position. I may need you at a moments notice." He said into it. R7 could easily pilot the ship, but he wasn't able to work the weapons. It wasn't long before they arrived. He got out and saw the children scatter as Fufuro called attention to them.

"Now they know we are coming and know that we know." He sighed. He then saw that the an old Merr-Sonn Munitions MkII Heavy Repeater in the APC's weapons loadout arsenal. With 3 Jedi and 1 man with a Blaster among them, he decided to flex one of his disused skills. Picking it up, he checked the weapons charge, good for 10,000 bolts. He might chew through that quickly, but wasn't going to anchor himself down with the backpack power cell that would give him over a million before needing a reload. He saw the funny looks from master and his padawan "A blaster might prove useful." held it underslung as they walked into the Junkyard. They entered in the standard 2x2 cover formation with Kale and Lahana taking up the front whilst Gloopra and Fufuro covered them. He heard the blaster bolt and saw the direction that the shot came from, pulling the immense blaster around, he fired a number of shots into the junkpile it had come from. "Get to cover!" he yelled as more shots came in, he had found an old speeder to hunker down in. He then saw them running for the old freighter's hangar. "Dammit." He grunted, jumping out of cover, he fell-back, firing covering shots at the droids as they came out of the junk. As more and more came out, he grunted loudly, throwing the blaster into the hangar, before spinning around and drawing his blades to deflect more bolts coming at himself and Fufuro as they fell-back, finally, making it into the hangar, he jumped into cover and used the Force to pull the hangar shutters down once they were all inside. "Alright, new plan, survive..." He grunted. "Anyone want to add to said plan? Because it definitely needs a finisher."

Gloopra had made his way outside of the complex and saw the large transport again. His face dropped a little as he saw Lahana was to accompany them. He made his way over to the transport and looked at Kale "With all due respect, Master..." he began, then sighed "Never mind..." He didn't want Lahana on this mission, she had disobeyed almost every order he had given her in the last 3 hours. That being said, maybe Kale's authority would keep her under control. "I assume you are aware of the events that allowed the escape of our quarry last time? I mean no disrespect on either of your parts, if you trust your apprentice to perform in a more... Proper manner here, then I will trust your judgement. Would you like me to scout the area with my fighter? I do realize that this could be a trap, but at the same time, I do not want to give them the chance to escape by air."

@Piercing Light
As Gloopra walked along a corridor, he was stopped by the comm-link beeping and relaying the message:

The ship that aided in the escape of the individual known as Blank was seen landing in a scrap junkyard. Those that are able are to investigate, though you may do so at your own discretion. The location of the junkyard has been pinpointed on your maps.

Comm-Link

"Roger, I'll take it." He then saw Vrerr walking the other way. "Vrerr, I am finished with your room, your Juma should be nicely chilled." He said with a smile. Vrerr smiled back and looked him up and down.

"You're looking chipper, get some good news?"

"You could say that. Look, I'm looking for Shadow Anari, we may have a lead on Blank." he said.

"Sorry, she's already got another mission, I was just talking about it with the general."

"Dammit... I could really use some backup for this. I'll ask Master Kale. If we can bring him in for questioning, i'll sleep a whole lot better." He sighed. "Go enjoy your drink and get some rest. We've been here barely 3 hours and it already feels like the end of a long day..."

"Amen to that." She shrugged. Gloopra began to walk away, but Vrerr caught his arm. "Gloopra, may the force be with you."

"When is it not?" he asked. Striding through the corridors, he retuned his comm-link. "Master Kale, I was wondering if you might accompany me on this mission? I don't want to sound paranoid, but we didn't get a good look at Blank's abilities, if he is as powerful as I fear, then a Master by my side would be MOST appreciated."

@Lucian Any idea when you will be finishing your character sheet?

Apart from that, been super busy today, taking relative to hospital, cat gave birth to kittens, taking little sister to see Fallen Kingdom, it's been hectic. But, I will try to get a start up tonight, what plane y'all want to start on? Maybe meeting in Ravnica from a message sent from a mysterious source? Maybe everyone hunting for a lost treasure on Innistrad when chance brings them together? I'm happy to make the story you guys want to be a part of.

Uh Oh, Trandoshans and Jedi don't mix well... Is she more focussed on killing the Dark Jedi rather than her own buddies?

"Until then, all Anari could offer him is the curtest of nods, and decline to return the bow."

@soren That's actually good to go.

@chocomog333 Can you please just give a brief description of your Brambles? Are we talking stuff like little Saprolings or ruddy great Behemoths?

Also, can everyone that has been accepted, please post your Character Sheets in the "Characters" section?

Star Wars: A Veiled Threat

So... any ETA on those Collab's?

Magic The Gathering: Planeswalker Adventure.

@soren Sorry about not posting a response earlier. Anyway, this is nothing personal about you or your character, I appreciate that posting from a phone can be harder than on a computer, but please can you put limits on your characters abilities? Because "Energy & Water Manipulation" Can be abused quite hard.

@chocomog333 Seems good so far, a few questions:

1) As a fire elemental, how can she move the tides?
2) What can her "Animate Brambles" do?

@Lucian A Faerie Planeswalker was one of the idea's that I had, now i'm glad I didn't settle on that. Orin seems fun, I look forward to him being finished.

I am going to be very busy this weekend, filling in for 2 of my co-workers by myself, so my next free day will be Thursday. I do hope to get the IC up by Monday, however.
