2.0 - Lure of the Lost

The villagers continue to fire into the melee -- hoping to help out the strangers from the Dawn Temple in the defense of their home. Somewhat surprisingly, given the way things have been going, they land a hit! The man before Urik winces as a slug from their slugthrowers slams into him. That said, his flinch moves him behind Urik somewhat so they will suffer a setback on their next attack.

Facing Urik, his opponent swings. Urik manages to fend off the blows without damage, but at the last minute, his opponent moves his assault down and swipes Urik's legs out from underneath him and he falls to the ground.Heyop and Csillag pull into sight and see Mal and Urik fending off a couple remaining crazies. One of them goes down and they're down to a single opponent who manages to trip Urik.

Posting for Urik.

"Urik levitates back to his feet and swaggers (staggers?) towards the last opponent" Kneel dog! Kneel before my awesome, incredible, and amazing luck, er, might! I may not have great feats of strength, but I DO have great strength of feet! (Reference 1) How dare you strike at me? I am a half dragon, half elf, half giant, half dwarf, half angel, half demon! (Reference 2) I am the Chosen Two! I'm twice as powerful as The Chosen One! (Reference 3)

Heyop's shots go wide -- whilst Mal moves out of the way of the oncoming speeders and blaster-fire as Csillag dismounts nearby, ready to assist. Urik, for his part, stands and readies his lightsaber, adopting a defensive stance. The villagers, heartened by the reinforcements from the Temple take another shot... but like so many of the other shots, this one fails to land.

The crazy attacks Urik once more -- but suffers significant challenges to landing a hit, given Heyop's blaster... and yet... he hits Urik with his club. It's a glancing blow that inflicts minor damage -- but Urik definitely looks weary and a little worse for the wear.Meanwhile, over at the cave. Marc has arrived -- and where the cave once was, a mere crack remains -- hinting at an entrance that is no longer there. As Marc waits -- the silence of the woods is interrupted by the pounding of feet. A small group of escapees
bursts out of the tree cover with scavenged weaponry and gleams of purpose in their eyes. As they approach, Marc notices that the cave mouth stands wide open to receive them, as if it had never closed.

Marc's quick to count that he's outnumbered 4:1 in this particular encounter and given the cover -- the escapees are at medium range.

Csillag's practice with the blaster rifle pays off -- and she takes out the remaining crazy at the village. The three that had been intimidated by Urik are sheepishly gathered up by him and he says, "I'll make sure these get back to the Dawn Temple..." and upon seeing a representative from the village head out to meet you he adds, "After I ease concerns here at the village. Where's the new kid?"

Marc's shots eventually slam into one of the attackers and bring him down. Hollering and wielding their clubs the three remaining beings close to engage with Marc. Although Marc's stakes are spotted -- one of them mis-judges his step and impales himself with a cry of pain -- stopping him short of Marc, leaving him with just to opponents for now.

Random roll for Urik standing around, being awesome at being awesome.

Heyop hops on his original speeder and waits for Csillag to get on the back of either before taking off.
