Cordal Mhoy was never much of a Jedi. He felt alive only when in the cockpit and now is no different. But he gives into the Force, spinning, weightless and alive, and allows the Force to guide his hand. Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Clearly the Force does not wish him to damage the Clone Troopers. Cordal grits his teeth as he sees the troopers take their positions. This is so not what he was remembering from his short time as a padawan. "Let's take the ones on the right! Less to take out. Ready? Go!" Cordal charges out, slashing at the trooper on his side. Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Cordal's still here, but everyone else seems to have disappeared in the confusion, and I have no idea how our entrance and Aran and Zee's deal intersect. I guess option B.1 could involve having everything go pear-shaped and only Aran and Zee make it to the shuttle where Cordal is holding the entrance, waiting for the exit. They board as explosions go off, we fly off and have to figure out our next move having bungled the first mission. Sorry, Rennik, but this just pops in my head whenever I hear the phrase "girlfriend who lives in Canada..." Cordal shrugs, a little unaccustomed to being asked his opinion by anyone, let alone a captain. "I can donate one slightly used fighter. She flies good, when you don't jump out of her and land on shuttles." Cordal smiles at Jace. "I'm in. Anything that I can do to help, I will. I lost my life to the Empire; I'm just now finding a new one. I want it to mean something. I'm in." Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Pilot Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 REROLL!
Attack on the Shuttle! 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 using a concussion missile
Cordal leans into the controls, feeling the ship through his conenction with the Force. He spins and rolls as he flies, targeting the shuttle he's been sent to disable and firing his missiles as he goes. Cordal slides into the cockpit of the starfighter like a hand in a glove. He runs his fingers lightly over the controls, feeling them with the Force. He allows his breathing to show and his awareness to flow outward into the ship. He is the ship. The ship is his body. His body wants to fly. He eases the starfighter outward, brings up targeting information and prepares to attack. Tonight he will fly, he will fight and they will fail. DM Rennick wrote:
"No, but they live on in the Force and through us, the Force is not lost. We can rebuild the Jedi order. We can once again create a force for peace in the galaxy." Cordal clings to this hope, almost desperately now that he's found other survivors. Cordal nods at Jace's description as he puts on the flight suit and gear. "The last few years, they were hard for all of us, I know. But at least now we have a chance to make them worth something. If we can correct the damage done, we can set to right some of the wrongs done to us. I'm just overjoyed that you lived, my friend." "Running. Running and hiding and lying and never speaking of it. When my Master was cut down by the clones, I was in an observation post about 500 meters away. I saw it happen and I ran. The clones launched a missile at the observation post and destroyed it. They must have thought they got me, too. But I never stopped running and never stopped looking over my shoulder, waiting for the day when they finally caught up to me. The only time I could ever sleep was in space. There, at least, I was safe." Cordal lets out a long breath, somewhat shocked at the extent of his fear and paranoia. "How about you? How'd you make it?" Cordal freezes for a moment as Jace pulls him into the embrace, then realizes the gig is up. He relaxes and smiles. At least here were old friends who would accept him if his new ones failed to... "Jace! I didn't think anyone else survived the end... I was with Master Shurgas, when the clones attacked. I ran, and they thought the missile they fired at my position killed me. I've been running ever since... How'd you get away?!?" Turning to Aran, Zee and the Captain, "I'm sorry for the deception. Jace and I were younglings together at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Master K'kruh here was our lightsaber master. He taught us to fight. I'm sorry I did not tell you, Captain. I know there is a bounty on the heads of former Jedi and there are those who hunt us. I've heard rumors of a black clad assassin who kills Jedi. I couldn't be sure..." When Master K'kruh appeared in front of them, Cordal just about jumped out of his skin. Years on the run believing that the Jedi had all been hunted down by the black clad assassins he'd heard tales of had taught him to lay low and keep quiet about his past. Now, here was not only a Jedi, but a Master who had taught him. It was simultaneously the best and worst moment of his life; what is Master K'kruh gave him away? What if the others realized there was probably a bounty on his head as well? What if.... The questions swirled as Cordal did his best to shrink and appear unworthy of notice. Cordal nods at Aran and the droid. He keeps his eyes down as they walk, but his body is tense and ready to spring. Years of looking out for the inevitable attack taught him to be ready whenever he's not onboard ship. You could never tell when the attack would it come, but Cordal has seen enough to know that it would always come. Use the Force: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 to sense any other Force Users, just to ensure they're not heading in his direction "No problem, Cap. She looks like a turtle, but she flies like a dream. We'll have you docked and happy before you even know it. And if I don't, you can fire the girl here." Cordal leans back in the pilot's seat, doing his best to convey competence and charm. Internally he's a bit worried. Every time he docks at a station he's secretly wondering if this is the time the dark armored figures he's heard are hunting Jedi are waiting for him...

Depending on the course load and how much work I have to do for those courses I may have to dump my pbps. I will not know what my schedule will look like until I get enrolled and start taking classes. However, I want you guys to have plenty of warning if it does happen. Dude, you will need to drop all PbPs. I don't know law school specifically, but the first semester of grad school is known as the weed out period, where they give you the hardest classes, heavy course load and far too much work to see who'll drop out. I wish you the best of luck, but we are a distraction you can ill afford! DM Dave wrote:
I'll have the YT-2400 prepped for launch. Does it have a name?
