"Indeed we have Mr. Cinderbeard, it's good to be here. We would like to inform the headsman at his convinience." Leo answers the greetings
"Certainly Lieutenant. Right this way." He repeats your first arrival on planet, leading you through the luscious tower to the door of the Headman's office. He pushes the buzzer to be let in. There is no response. After a few seconds he pushes the buzzer again. There is still no response. He turns to the group, a worried look on his face. "I don't understand. He was expecting our arrival. Something must be wrong."
Mordanna draws her pistol and quickly scans the immediate area for any suspicious looking characters.
There are just some servants on lower levels of the promenade. It's like a series of rings going up the inside of the spire, but the headman's is at the top and there's no one really allowed up here.
"Perhaps we should go in."
Swinging her railgun off of her shoulder, Kimefe tries the door.
General Perception:
"Let's do this."
Horus pulls out his pistol and prepares to follow Kimefe's lead.
"With your permission we'll take it from here Mr. Cinderbeard." Leo says, not waiting for the response.
"Hightower, Kimefe take a look at the locking mechanism and see if you can't get us inside. Na'Tal, Starforge cover them." he orders.
"Mr. Cinderbeard any idea what has happened?" He inquires.
Smiling as he has giving his orders. No we're back feets on the ground, grunts in the mutt, well no exactly, but closer than trapped in the tin can.
Grimwold takes out his pistol and keeps an eye on the surrounding area. " Y'Sir. "
Kimefe find the door unlocked. It slides open to reveal the Headman's office which at first glance appears to be unoccupied. As the group files in Botarr shrugs at Leo. They gets into the room before they notice that the large high-backed swivel chair behind the Headman's desk has it's back turned towards the entrance.
The group takes the lift up to the Headman's office at the top of the spire, and steps into the room to find no one there and the swivel chair behind the large desk with its back turned towards them.
Botarr remains in the elevator, and as soon as the party has entered the office, he slaps the button to close the doors. "Fools!" he says, laughing evilly as the doors close on the lift.

Grimwold moves into the room a little way looking all about, pointing his pistol this way and that as he looks for danger. Fools? What have you done Botarr? A bomb, an ambush?
" Bless our trigger fingers, let our aim be true! "
"Sow's infected tusk" Leo curses as he moves into cover behind the left table.
Kimefe mirrors Leo's movement, ducking towards the right and raising her gun.
Horus checks the door and tries to open it:

His left eye is covered in a patch, and his left arm ends in a power claw with a sawblade spinning in between the claws. He says, "I heard you pricks are the ones been messing up our plans. The fact that you're here means you did something bad to my ship. Well, now you're gonna PAY!!" He moves quickly towards the group, stopping just short of Grimwold.

A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.

With the Grunkbot down Grimwold takes a second to look about as his companions. Seeing the gash on Horus he reaches out placing his hand on the wound. " You'll be right lad? Got a spell that'd clear this up? " He asks casting a healing spell while waving his pistol at the fog.

Mordanna will take another shot at Grunkbot.
