Though she revels in the pain, her concentration is broken and the cart falls to the deck with a crash.
Snarling a curse at her momentary failure, with a flick of her lightsaber and a billowing of her cloak and robes, she hurls herself at the female Jedi...
Sensing that Koro lost her connection to the Force for a bit, the miraluka will smile inwardfly All of these brawny and melee types do not understand the intracacies of the Dark Side or the Force. A conductor tells the concert how to behave, so it is with we who delve into the mystery that is the Force.

With the human Jedi's attack disrupting her concentration, and the target of her wrath now focused on the Twi'lek, Koro lashes out at her, enraged, forcing the Twi'lek on the defensive as she desperately defends herself. Venaris fires a blast at Zilas who yells as it strikes his arm. Trevan continues his vicious assault on the Twi'lek, taunting her by saying, "Should you wish, you could even turn from the light path to the dark. You cannot have traveled far down it's fruitless roads." The Twi'lek is clearly hurting, and looks to be struggling under the onslaught. Kordin strikes down one of the Republic troopers, then launches himself towards Zilas to cut off his escape.
Tired and hurting, the Twi'lek continues to try and defeat her first opponent, Trevan, who contemptuously bats her attack aside. She calls out, "Troopers, aid me!"
Hurling himself at her, the Human yells, "Die, Sith traitor!" Caught off-guard by his attack, she is too slow to defend herself, and he cuts her down. Seeing her body lying before him, he looks at Koro and Trevan and says, "You will face justice for this crime, Sith!"
Zilas glares as Kordin intercepts him, and pops off a shot that just catches Kordin, shortly before Iliquoi lashes out with a blast of Force Lightning, charring the foolish bounty hunter to a crisp.
The Imperial Troopers acquit themselves well. Though one falls, the are able to cut down 4 of the Republic dogs in exchange. The battle is clearly swinging the Sith's way, as the three troopers aiding the Jedi all miss their targets.
Koro shrugs at the Jedi's toothless threat, "Search your feelings" she taunts, "Who struck the fatal blow to your friend? " she asks, almost conversationally as her lightsaber cuts the air...
Taking one last look at Zilas, or rather what remains of him, Venaris is awed by the lightning that had come forth from the Sith's hands. He had heard of it before, but hearing about it and actually seeing it are not the same. Still, he is a professional, and, chasing away the feelings of awe, he points his pistol at one of the enemy troopers and shoots.
Laughing at his handiwork, both with the mind trick and the force lightening the miraluka will reach out again with the Force attempting to control the jedi..
Since we are such good friends, why don't you come and guard me from any who might attack me? he suggests UTF
Hold Koro Tass. I have claimed the jedi for my own purposes.
Not with my talent. :)
I did in the post where I either fried the captain or had him kill himself.
"Why the heck would you fry the guy with tech? You probably scrambled all of his gear, any holos of who hired him, but hopefully not the keys to his ship. Was the lightning really necessary?"
Seeing force lightning was impressive, but Kordin had more practical thoughts than her companion. Kordin moves towards the jedi to flank with one of her sith companions before bringing her vibroblade down on him.
What Force powers I chose to use are used when I feel that they are necessary, Soldier. He dared to strike me. My revenge was quick and swift.
Enraged at having his kill taken from him Trevan swings wildly at the Human Jedi seeking to cut him down.

Koro taunts the Jedi over his slaying of his friend while striking at him, and Venaris takes aim and shoots at a trooper. Unfortunately, his blaster clicks, and the power pack depletion alarm sounds. Ejecting the dead one, he slaps another one in to get back to the fight. Trevan erupts into a Dark Side-fueled rage and cuts down the human where he stands. Kordin moves and slays one of the Republic troopers, as Iliquoi ensnares the mind of another, who moves to protect the Sith. The Sith troopers take out the remaining few Republic forces, losing one more of their own in the process.
[ooc] What about for using a force point on the lightening? [ooc]
Looking at one of the troopers he will order him to knock the trooper unconscious and take him to the brig after stripping him of armor and other things
Koro nods to the other Sith as hostilities cease, keying her lightsaber off and returning it to her belt.
She kneels by the Jedi and searches them, seeking any information they might have had.
Looking up, she speaks to Kordin, "Check Zilas, see if any information survived my brother's ill-advised attack."
She then looks to the surviving troopers, "Check their ship, extract any codes or relevant information. Lord Kyrak will be interested in anything you might find."
Once all checks of gear, etc has been made , she tosses the credit chip to Venaris, "For your continued service.."
Then she leads the group to the waiting shuttle, turning her gaze on the bounty hunters, "I take it one of you can pilot a craft such as this?"
Ok
Kordin had moved her way over to the jedi and had swiped the lightsabers from both of them. You never know when somebody will want to buy one. Hearing the words from Koro, the Mandalorian looks up.
"In a bit, the jedi seem to be a bit more important. I'm rolling them first. My priority is the people that dick was working for."
After going through the jedi's things, Kordin goes through Zilas' corpse for keys to his ship and anything that might have survived. Finding the keys, she reveals them to the others.
"I may have had a few drinks, but I should be okay to fly us out of here."
Trevan shakes his head at the Bounty Hunter as he deactivates his own lightsaber, "You value objects more than your own life? Come it is time to go, drunk or not you will pilot us and pilot us well or we will all perish in the void of space. Your former friend has revealed to the enemy our position and they are on the attack".
"Load the prize on the ship", he directs the Sith Troopers and boards as well.
Once the trooper has been knocked out and secured and gagged the miraluka will board the ship, looking at the ashes on the ground that were the former captain and grin a half-grin.
As you search the human Jedi, you notice that, in spite of his wounds, he's still breathing.
Kordin strips the Jedi of their weapons, comlinks and utility belts, and grabs a blaster rifle from one of the dead Republic troopers. Most of Zilas's equipment is fried, but miraculously his blaster pistol is still intact. You were also fortunate enough to find the code to access his ship.
The sergeant looks from Koro to Trevan to Iliquoi, then asks, "Um, my lords, which ship?" as Koro has moved towards an Imperial shuttle and Trevan has gestured to Zilas's.
Picking up the jedi by the collar with one hand she looks over to Trevan before carrying him over to Trevan and shoving him into the sith. While speaking she crushes the commlinks she finds.
"Fine, you carry the prisoner if you think all I was doing was looking for stuff."
Staring at the two ships, Kordin knows her decision.
"Umm, I don't have the code for an Imperial shuttle, I have the code for the bounty hunter ship, one I've flown before. And which ship do you think the Republic is going to shoot down... faster, the one for the guy that was getting paid for a high profile target, or an Imperial shuttle?"
Trevan looks at the Jedi, "Prisoner? Unless you can raise the dead I don't believe him to be a prisoner. I do not even believe that my Master has hear of such a power..."
Turning to the Trooper Trevan snaps, "Of course the Bounty Hunter ship fools, that is the one they will recognize and allow to escape. Do you think a drunken Bounty Hunter can fly us out of this mess alive?"
Kordin sighs.
Have they lost track of rational thought?
"He's alive idiot. Sheesh! It's like you didn't even check his pulse. Guy was still breathing when I snagged his weapon, crushed his commlink, and grabbed his utility belt. With your head up in the clouds with your high and mighty attitude you almost let someone escape. Ground yourself a little, it might open up a world of thinking your master never taught you."
Trevan activates his lightsaber and lops off the head of the Jedi that Kordin just shoved over to him, "It appears you are mistaken Bounty Hunter..."
He then drops the body and looks expectantly at Kordin, "Well? Are you going to open this ship or not?"
Koro watches as Trevan decapitates the still-living Jedi, then step up closes, catching his eye...ignoring the still lit lightsaber in his hand.
In a cold, calm voice she asks, "Have you forgotten our Master's words so quickly? We are to take one of the imperial shuttle's here in this hangar. Not this decrepit garbage scow. With a 'cargo' of such importance, our Master has probably alerted the fighters outside to keep watch for us , and guard us until we've jumped to hyperspace. To fly out in this...." she leaves the obvious unsaid.
Turning her back on Trevan, she orders the troopers, "Take the cargo to that shuttle, we will be along shortly."
Over her shoulder she comments to Trevan, "Our Master might have been interested in questioning that Jedi..." then she shrugs and leads the way to the shuttle, the code cylinder held up in one hand.
"I do not forget the words of our Master but he did not know this ship would be here. Improvisation is equally as important as following Orders Koro Tass..."
"This filth?" he asks kicking the head of the Jedi away. "The Jedi to be questioned is our quarry, this one was not worth speaking to".
Trevan does not countermand the words of Koro Tass to the Troopers instead he turns back to the Bounty Hunter, "What shall it be, shall we follow Koro Tass or shall we take the ship of your deceased comrade?"
The miraluka thinks to himself as his potential prey has his head cut off What a waste of talent, someone I could have experimented on. Still, a jedi might be beyond my power right now to control and corrupt. Perhaps this trooper will prove more easily maleable.
Koro stands by the shuttle's entry plank, arms crossed, waiting for the others , watching as the troopers load the 'carbonite' slab on to the ship.
As she does so, she taps the code cylinder agains her arm, as if reminding that no one will get to Drommund Kaas if they aren't with her.
"Well," Venaris quips as he pockets the credit chip and moves along, "thank you for that. Always good to know that we will not be getting swindled and all."
Looking back at Kordin after Trevan has made more than sure that the Jedi is really dead, the Echani shrugs. He is fairly certain that his friend finds such an act of execution dishonorable, or at the very least distasteful. Still, neither she nor himself have any delusions of who it is that they are working for and what they are capable of.
"You certainly have a flair for the dramatic," he adds as he passes by Koro, indicating Trevan with his silver eyes.
Koro's lip curls a bit at the Echani's joke, "I only seek to see that my Master's wishes are met." she says plainly, then meets Venaris' gaze, "There are some of my brethren that would 'swindle' you at a moment's notice. However, I represent Lord Kyrak. " she states, again leaving the obvious unsaid, then turns to look out at the hangar, waiting for the others to join them.
You remember Zilas bragging about his ship's quad-laser cannons, ability to evade capital ships, and faster-than-normal hyperdrive. Trevan would likely know about smuggling compartments, since he explored the ship.
The sergeant orders two of his troopers to load the carbonate slab onto the ship, then turns to Koro and asks, "Sir, would you like us to accompany you, or shall we remain with the Inexorable?"
She gives Trevan a dirty look as he decapitates the helpless jedi. No warrior should fall like that. A noble death in battle would have been better.
Kordin walks over to the bounty hunter's ship and crosses her arms.
"Miss Koro, while I appreciate the willingness to stick to your master's orders, this ship might be a bit better suited for our needs. Zilas updated this baby with a couple extra quad laser cannons, some combat thrusters in case we get tied up with some of those larger ships, a faster hyperdrive, and as Trevan should have found earlier some smuggling compartments. Plus a wicked paint job but it could use some updating if we take it. We could also take the troopers with us in case you don't trust us too much."
There is no reason why we cannot take both ships is there? states the miraluka.
"Not unless any of you know how to astrogate, see I can only pilot the ship, dogfight, avoid collisions that sort of thing. I'm decent at it and I've done my fair share of flying. My partner here can get us to and from different planets without hitting anything in the way, he's a bit more tech savvy than I am. The key factor I'm seeing here is the hyperdrive. I know that the bounty hunter's ship has a faster than stock one, and I'd be banking on that to get us out of here. What do you say navigator Ven?"
Trevan smiles at Koro Tass, "Come dear Koro Tass, the Bounty Hunter makes excellent points. With the signature of our transponder the Republic ships will not attack us and with a simple comlink call to our Lord, we can alert him to the change in plans to ensure that our allies do not blast us either. Let us bring the Troopers, they will be helpful, besides, they will now need to load the slab on this ship instead, let us not dally, we have little time to waste".
Koro listens to Kordin, her arms crossed, a terrible scowl marring her features.
She returns Trevan's smile with one of her own, a smile viscious in its promise of violence, "Dear Trevan, I have been convinced. Come let us make use of the smuggler's ship."
She turns to the troopers, "Move the carbonite slab to the smuggler ship."
She stalks away towards the other ship...
Trevan nods to her lithe form and remarks to the Bounty Hunter, "Were love not a false emotion I would say that perhaps that is what is within my heart whenever she speaks and looks that way". He laughs coldly.
Gesturing to the unconcious trooper the miraluka orders the Sith trooper to take him, secure him and gag him.
What interesting toys does the trooper have?
