Returns PBF - In Character
Gargulec:
Thankfully, the rain ceased soon after you left your glade. It was, however, intense enough to change all pathways through the jungle into small rivers of mud which, along with Vince being barely able to walk, made you travel at much slower pace.
Somewhere in the middle of the way, you were contacted by Skye via commlink. Judging by her voice, she was rather tired.
'In case you're still alive, I have some news for you' she said. 'I opened up the engine, and started the repairs. Not an easy task, but I will be able to finish it in a few days, with the little help of this droid. That's one. And second thing is that the long range scanners of this shuttle has picked up something big, size of a frigate at least, entering the atmosphere seven hundred clicks north from my position. I don't know if it is imperial, and I'm not particularly keen on contacting it. Also, sergeant, there is something I think you should see. Check your datapad. Skye out.'
Xander Morhaime:
CX took out his commlink when he heard the signal of an incoming transmission. He listened to it patiently, not stopping, just forging on ahead and clearing the path as necessary with the help of his vibroblade.
"I wouldn't expect pursuit just yet - we've only been here a short time and with our drive failing, I doubt anyone expected us to come here," he replied after Skye had finished. "Still, monitor their transmissions if you can, and maintain radio silence while possible. Whoever they are, I doubt they'll take kindly to us. Keep up the good work," he said, then ended the transmission, stowing his commlink away and instead taking out the datapad to see just what it was that Skye had meant.
Gargulec:
Before you could start your march again, a faint sound was heard, some kind of rustle. CX turned around to see what caused it...
Then it started. Before anyone could react, a large, greyish creature leaped from the mushrooms, overwhelming Fathima. Blood sprayed everywhere as it tore the woman's jugular. Worse still, you could clearly hear howls and growls from behind your back. Closing in very fast...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Fathima is dead, Vince unarmed.
There are two creatures behind you, approximately 10 meters from you, and one on Fathima's corpse.
Initiative:
Creature one: 17
Creature two: 11
Vince and CX both: 10
Fahima's killer: 7
Creature one and two spent their turns running towards you.
Xander Morhaime:
"Sithspit... AMBUSH!" CX shouted, though rather than open fire on the creature that had killed Fathima, he whirled and sprayed a burst of automatic fire from the repeater at the charging beasts instead, reasoning that maybe, just maybe, the other one would be happy with its catch long enough for him to dispatch its mates before joining in the fray properly.
Silhar:
"Damn !", drawled Vince. "Fathima !"
Seeing no chances of saving his fellow, he quickly glanced around, seeking a safe path to escape the field.
"Oh. This is not exactly what I was looking for..."
Seeing the blaster lying few steps away, dropped by the woman when a beast had killed her, the rebel dashed towards the weapon and grabbed it, holding tightly.
"Dance for me, bitch !", he taunted and pulled the trigger, aiming at the nearest creature - the one finishing its meal.
