Independent Droids IC

[Burden King]

Miss S joined in with everyone, taking note her suspicions were on point when it came to thinking there were more droids where that came up. She took aim, and fired at the small Buzz droid, recognizing it from Galactic history. With her Sporting pistol, the sound sof blaster fire launching out and burning the atmosphere between her and the droid was heard, and she took a feeling of disgust at the weapon and buried it under logic.

ML-624 rushes over to the speeder, to both investigate and put something between himself and the grey cloaked creature's. "Isn't this exciting. "

Run with his speed of 4 to make the 20 m, or double move and fall prone if he doesnt get cover. Going for the whole unassuming target at this point.

As Rex fires his scattergun, the spidery droid leaps into the air and avoids the blast. However, this leaves it open to a shot from Ellie. It strikes the droid's power cell, causing the droid to erupt in flames and crash to the ground. It struggles to stand up.

"DIS-AH-SEM-BLE." the droid chants, it's voice now distorted, "DIS-AH-SEM--"

That's when Miss S shoots it once more. The droid's chanting is cut short as it collapses, slowly burning on the ground.

On top of the wall, none of the cloaked creatures seem to notice ML-624 as he scurries behind the landspeeder. The landspeeder itself seems to have nobody inside of it. It looks like it's been here longer than you have. Meanwhile, Detsevin will find that the cloaked creature fell off the wall before he climbed up. However, this angle allows him a decent look at the creature's bullet-ridden corpse.

Detsevin, make a Knowledge (galactic lore) check to identify the corpse.

"Oh dear. That was a non-ideal resolution. I estimated only a 5% chance of striking its power cell but that is what seems to have occurred nonetheless. Now it is probably useless to us. Perhaps one of you mechanically-minded droids could have a look anyhow?"

In response to Detsevin's warning from above, she adds, "Wait, there are more? Where should we go? What should we do? Run?"

[Ganis]

ML-624 starts to look over the speeder, as a new ride seems like a good idea I need these parts. "psst, Dev, keep it down, the others might see you."

"Hmm? Oh!" The combat droid modifies his vocabulator to a whispered volume, "My apologies. Now, how are we going to take those scoundrels?" He trots over to the Pit droid's hiding place and ducks down with him.

Double move to get to the speeder in one turn.

ML-624 runs a diagnostic on the landspeeder. Surprisingly enough, the speeder is in decent condition; not ideal, but certainly able to function. The only problem is that there is no fuel in the tank, which means a new power source will be required to power the speeder.

Unable to identify the cloaked creature, Detsevin runs behind the landspeeder. The sheer distance prevents the cloaked creatures in the distance from noticing him as he moves.

[Burden King]

After dealing with the buzz droid, though in a manner she had not expected and felt some regret for, Miss S drove herself over to the obviously unscalable garbage wall. Yes, it was clearly unscalable to any droid, and the other two only got up there with some obviously illegal droid mods. Obviously....

"'Miss S' slight annoyance: What is going on up there?"

She asked, raising her voice so they could hear her from below.

[Ganis]

ML-624 trots over to the edge, trying to keep the speeder between him and the pack of robed creatures. "There is a group of those creaturea off a bit, some large pack beast as well. We also found a speeder, looks serviceable, but needs fuel. Check the bodies for anything useful, we might be able to jump start the ride up here."

[Archemist]

Ellie does not seem like the most knowledgeable of droids, but she gamely heeds ML-624's suggestion. She gets up and goes over to the droid they'd incapacitated and examines it. She hefts it with her arm, trying to determine if it is small enough to carry up the hill, or which of the other droids would be better suited to that task.

Regardless, she then goes over to the robed figure and pokes at it gingerly. She searches it for any comlink, and takes its weapon and stows it in her compartment.

She calls up softly in Binary, "Shall we come up there, then? Or should we look for some fuel down here... or over by the landslide, perhaps?"

[Dudeons]

Inspecting the burnt chassis, Ellie finds that much of the droid's circuitry and wiring has been burnt out by the fire. The droid seems relatively lightweight, feeling like only a few kilograms. Even a one-armed nanny-bot could manage to carry it if necessary. The robed figure does not react to Ellie's poking. Searching it's robes, she finds the gun and a commlink.

Up top, Detsevin notices that the cloaked figures are talking among themselves in their own language. A few times they motion towards the canyon where the other droids are located, and their tone seems to express concern.

[MintyNinja]

Detsevin watches the cloaked figures and soon the whole situation seems to fit in his processor. The one they wiped out was a scout, or was looking to modify this speeder when it happened upon a group of droids walking alone. Thinking himself smart, the hooded creature set up the ambush but was summarily cut down. Now his fellows are likely wondering why there's been no change as of yet in the state of the speeder or a response from their scout. With all this sorted out, Detsevin realizes that it's only a few moments more before they're likely to investigate for themselves and so he hurries back to the cliff side. "Greetings again, we seem to be in a situation. This scout is expected to report back or rig up this speeder and return to his fellows likely soon. We should either get going down the chasm, or stage our own counter ambush. They may have supplies enough to get us to civilization," he says.
