Star Wars: Reconstruction

[ChronicLunacy]

((And Tien's light?))

[ybn1197]

Kadlo will follow Bendak's advice and quickly make his way down the stairs.

[Cyrus112]

The glow rod helps slightly, but the figures that mirror Bendak still don't take any definite characteristics. As Kadlo begins down the stairs, a second set of figures appear, mirroring whatever moves Kadlo might make.

[ybn1197]

Is Kadlo the second one down the steps behind Bendak or is there someone between the two of us?

[Cyrus112]

It is just Kadlo and Bendak on the steps right now.

[Felistor]

Really? Where are Garik and Tien then?

[Cyrus112]

((I was under the impression that they were still on the platform on their way down. If they also made their way down the steps, then the same thing happens for each of them.))

[Felistor]

((well we both said we were following Bendak after he said he was moving to the bottom, so I guess that is what is happening))

[Cyrus112]

((Hehe, very well))

All four people are now on the stairwell, shadowy figures mirroring each persons moves on the descent down.

((I imagine you stop at one point as Bendak stopped to sort of test out what the shadowy figures could do))

[ChronicLunacy]

Tien

The sullustan pilot begins to dance, much to the embarassment and annoyance of his fellows. He seems to be testing just how good these things can mirror him as he spins and shimmies about on the small landing, grinning all the while.

[ybn1197]

Kadlo

Kadlo will look around on the ground for a loose rock or something similiar. He will then throw it at one of his shadows, both to see if it mimics the motions, and to see the results of being hit by a solid object.

[Cyrus112]

The shadow mirrors you in every way, Tien. You find a loose piece of stone, Kadlo, and it mirrors your movements as you bend down to pick it up. Strangely, it doesn't mirror the throwing of it, though.

((Incidentally, I'll need your AC as well as an attack roll. Also, Tien, as the stairway/landing is a bit small for this many people, balance check ))

[ybn1197]

Kadlo

Defense: 17
Attack:1d20+6=18

[ChronicLunacy]

Tien

Balance (1d20+8=27)

[Cyrus112]

Tien manages to shake and shimmy very successfully, even given the tight area in which you are all occupying. The rock hits where the figure is, in the hip region. You feel a slight twinge in your hip (1 point of subdual damage) and then the rock seemingly bounces off of some sort of solid barrier and begins to plummet down to the unseen depths below.

[ybn1197]

Kadlo

"Well, I don't suggest the direct attack method."

[Cyrus112]

((Just for clairification, by you I meant Kadlo, and only Kadlo. Not the royal you, as in the entire group, hehe. So, onward?))

[Felistor]

Garik Hannser
"They don't appear to be hostile -- let's keep moving."

[Graybacca]

Nodding in agreement Bendak Continues on forward.

[Cyrus112]

After the second platform, there is another stairwell that only is wide enough to walk single file. This leads to a path of the same width. The shadowy figures do nothing but mimic movement as you make your way along. As you walk, another shadowy figure appears that the person in the front of the line can see. It appears to be moving towards you.

((If you keep walking, you come face to face with the shadowy figure, but aside from vague outline, there are no similar characteristics. If you attempt to interact in any way with the figure (touching, things like that), your hand comes up against a smooth surface, and there is a bit of a tingling sensation. There is also a wall to your right, but not to your left.))

[ybn1197]

As we have all picked up shadows now, are the shadows on the same side (i.e. all to the leftor right) or are the around us, such as in a way to surround us when we approach the shadow in front of us?

[Cyrus112]

((Whenever there is an opening or open path, there won't be a shadow figure))


((Also, I'm in Wisconsin, but I should be able to update regularly. In two weeks, however, I'll be heading to Italy. I'll be there for six days and I won't be able to update at all. Just giving you all a heads up. I'll be fully able to return to the game once I get back from Italy. Just give me a day or so to get over the jet lag, hehe))

[Graybacca]

((Merry Christmas All. And Happy Holidays.))

[ybn1197]

Kadlo will start to walk to the left, more to see the reactions of the shadows then to make forward movement.

[Graybacca]

Bendak follows Kadlo Left

[Cyrus112]

The path continues on for a ways, and you see another shadowy form seemingly walking toward you. You realize that there is a wall right there, and once again the shadowy figures seem nothing but a reflection of yourselves. The path continues on to your right.

[Graybacca]

Bendak heads right.

[Felistor]

Garik follows

[Cyrus112]

You reach the end of this passageway, and at this point, the corridor splits off in both directions. This seems to be turning into some sort of maze.

[ChronicLunacy]

((I'll be posting tomorrow sometime. Holiday stuff should be done with after the new year.))
