If we truly wish to end this, we should try to orchestrate the final confrontation to occur near the portal to the Deathland. Closing access to the dark pathways is key, I should think. Astrid yet again feels a tugging, drawing her.. somewhere.. but the sensation is lost almost as quickly as it had emerged. She shrugs it off, but is increasingly disturbed by the idea that there is something.. from within.. trying to guide her.

Durrak looks forward in to the cave and readies his weapon. "Oh I will use the Force alright."

Sounds good to me. I love a good dungeon crawl. Anyone need any last minute patch-up before we get in the thick of things? Man, things just can't be like they used to be. I miss the good old days of shoot the baddie, take over or destroy the base, repeat until the war is over. Ah well, it seems like a dungeon crawl might be the most normal base-taking part of this whole crazy operation. Bennar also readies his weapon following Durrak's lead. He racks his head to think of something witty to say, but the situation is too serious and his focus is split between the mission and his brother. How did my brother get involved in this whole situation? When this is all over I'm going to find that kid and give him a good old fashioned whooping. Eh, he's not a kid anymore...we'll have a lot of catching up to do. The others can tell that something other than the mission is bothering him.

"Alright, everyone... Remember your Flame throwers. Never point them in each other's direction as we may get accidental misfire. Durrak, I expect to see your diskblade flying around like that glowing holovid hero. Yeah, Dr. B, I could use the Boost to Brawn please and do me a favor and partner up to watch Durrak's back while this Doc" Yorik nodded to Astrid" watches mine.

"Also, Dr. B, are you ok? You look distracted. Everything G2G? Good to Go?"

(Do you want me to do a hard check, which means you take 1 strain on success, or an average check, which means you take 4 strain on success? I roll 3 yellow)

Yeah there has been something on my mind. You know that officer we met when we first came here? I didn't recognize him at first since I haven't seen him in years, but that was my brother! Never tell me the odds, but something other than chance or fate has intertwined our lives to come to this point. Just how powerful is the Force? Sorry if I seemed distracted, I'll be 100% focused on the mission once we get moving again. There'll be time to reminisce after this is over.

Yorick considered the Casual manner in which the leper King caused plants and Life to grow almost instantly upon his return. He also thought about the terrible powers of Insanir to control people's minds and all the transformations of people into monsters that they'd seen along their Journey.

"Yeah, the force can be extremely powerful for better or for worse. For good or for evil. Depending on who uses it. Hopefully we can make it more powerful for the good side because that's what we really need right now..."

"Y... your brother?Well, first Astrid now you and your family. I can't wait for us all to meet Durrak's folks!"

as the party walks towards a very odd structure, the closer you get.. a strange sound can be heard ( test on medical 2 purples, on awareness 2 with one setback dice (red) ..)

so as you approach you notice strange things, eyes, hands, ears, melded with the floor, you start to feel if this is an illusion its a very good one... kull seems quiet, too quiet, and why aren't there any creatures.... but that sound......every step it gets louder and louder

then the ground rumbles, Yorik, and Bennar probably get first shots...

out of the overgrowth rushes a shape, it seems to be all teeth and claws...

Medicine roll : 5eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 advantage

Yeah, at this rate we'll all have a big family reunion once this is all over!

As the group walks towards the odd structure, Bennar notices a sound. Raising his rifle, he shouts, Contact at 2 O'clock! Ready yourselves!

( @April , what's the range he is at? My rifle is technically short range only, but if he is close enough I'll take a shot unless Yorik or someone else recognizes it and yells that it's a friendly. Also, what was the awareness 2 with a red thing we need to roll? Or was it just if we successfully notice him the difficulty to shoot at him is 2 purple and 1 red?)

Medical check : 3eP+2eD 1 success

Aye shoots skyward to see what's going on.

basically, you'd really have to be blind to hit it. 1 purple

Then the noise registers. The Warren of the Screaming. This place is h e l l.

When the horrific creature bursts through the overgrowth, Astrid feels sufficiently incentivized to put on a burst of speed of her own, hoping to reach the structure.

(Hopefully Bennar isn't blind right now. XD)

Taking a moment to aim and steady himself over the sound of that screaming, Bennar fires the first volley into the beast. Anyone who's not shooting make a break for that structure! Sound off! At the last moment the Beast changes direction and his shots miss, but this should give whoever fires next a split second to fire at a mostly stationary target. Man for a creature that size it sure is fast...where is that screaming coming from.

(Well Bennar even remembered to Aim this time and still no luck! THREE BLANK DICE! lol. I'll use the advantage to give whoever goes next a boost die.)

Shoot her!!!! Shooooot her! : 1eA+2eP+1eD+1eB 2 failures, 2 advantage

Shard deeks to the side with the goo gun out spraying at the creature. (What does it look like?)

Goo gun : 3eA+1eD 0 successes, 3 advantage

(Forgot that boost)

Goo gun : 1eB 0 successes, 2 advantage

(Will spend adv on ensnare 4, and disorient 1 and pass a boost die. I'll take a manuever to move to medium range)

He misses the creature but sprays ahead instead, catching the creature as it tries to avoid Benner's shots.

(For being big and close he sure is hard to hit! lol.)

Edit: (Also, remind me how ensnare works mechanically?)

(You can say that again! GEEZ....)

Yorik laid down a Covering Fire that didn't hit the monster for any damage but stopped it in its tracks and made it drop down prone into the foliage. While the monster was pinned down, Yorik gestured for everyone to quickly move ahead and into a more defensive and advantageous position...

Astrid continues to make haste, but her companions seem intent on harassing the monster... And I have just the thing!

Pausing just long enough to aim, she activates the launcher in her left knee-cop, sending a saberdart full of Griff's RancorTranq directly at the nightmarish creature.

Description	Saberdart w/ Griff's RancorTranq
Results	3eA+1eD : 3 successes [3eA=S/S, S, S/A] [1eD=F/Th]

Without waiting to see what effect it might have, Astrid again breaks into a run.

Durrak throws his discblade (using saber throw)

Failure with one advantage and a dark side.

Durrak attacks the monster and it is a complete miss. Frustrated by his failure he uses the force to retrieve the disc blade (i will use the dark side point and suffer the strain and conflict).

He feels his anger as the weapon returns to his hand.

Of all the soldiers here it was ASTRID who hit the beast! Nice shot Astrid! Everyone fall back to the structure. We'll set up a more defensible position there! Take shots as you can, but don't fall behind the group!

( oh my gosh guys.... )

without the ensnare and @Edgehawk oh you guys.....

well first time ive laughed in a while cheers

so now you look at the creature, you suspect it was once a dewback... but with a rancor mouth.....

also

ill give you 1 of two options here, Check that noise thats coming from the undergrowth or....... Go towards the " screaming "
