2.0 - Lure of the Lost

Joka appears sufficiently threatening to the lunatic headed his way that the man stops in his tracks, confused. Joka's stern countenance is sufficient to cause cognitive dissonance and strain in his opponent.Heyop managed to whack his luckless target upside the head with the truncheon with a loud crunch. However, despite the blow, his opponent remains standing. Alas, Heyop's hit is not sufficient to disorient his target, Hotel.Csillag readies her lightsaber and gets into a defensive stance.Marc opts to smack the crazy before him, Mike, but in a flurry of blows, Mike manages to fend off the assault with his makeshift weapon. Marc over-exerts himself slight gently nudging a muscle in his hip for 1 Strain.Mal readies his lightsaber and gets into a defensive stance.

While many of their brethren stream out of the temple and head to the side corridors you hear Kaveri exclaim loudly from a hallway and the distant voice of Dagger saying, "Hey!" above the din. Urik is downstairs meditating in his quarters, so he may be well unaware of what's afoot. Luckily, Hethan Romund is off to the village and thus not likely to be beaned by one of these escaped....whatevers.

Joker, opposite Joka, stands in a stupor, considering his next move carefully.

Hotel offers to return the favor to Heyop, swinging with his makeshift club. He connects with Heyop with a couple of lucky jabs, knocking the wind out of him a little. However, he finds himself out of position a bit as a result of his eager and suffers some strain getting back into position.Charlie and Cisco each lay into Csillag with their cobbled-together weapons. Charlie lands a particularly incisive blow on Csillag's temple, causing her to see stars. While Cisco fails to connect, Charlie's blows help him get the drop on Csillag for his next attack!Mike, fresh from fending off Marc's blows lays into him and manages to connect there, as well, but the Prince manages to shrug off the assault without taking anything other than a minor bruise.Delta (from Mal's last name) also attempts to beat down the former Imperial pilot. Despite several intent swings, Mal's able to dodge each and everyone one. However Delta gains superior positioning from which his next attack will benefit.

Mal slashes at the attacker with his lightsaber

Csillag swings at one of her two opponens, but he manages to dance out of the way of her lightsaber, his eyes wide. Despite missing the nimble opponent, she's able to get herself into a defensive posture with superior positioning -- enhancing her next attack.Heyop manages to catch Hotel's swing on his truncheon, deflecting it with a grunt. Swapping his truncheon to his off-hand, he brings out his pistol and fires a quick shot into Hotel. It's enough to drop Hotel to the ground, unconcious.Urik looks confusedly at the array before him, but sees Csillag beset by two enemies so he seeks to assist her with the pistol in his hand. However, despite some careful planning -- he's not able to land a shot on one of the enemies. Still his target is moved significantly out of position by the incoming fire and he will have difficulty landing a hit on Csillag.Mal is the first to land a hit with his lightsaber and Delta, while not undone, looks much the worse for wear from the onslaught of the blade.Joka reads the situation and presses the attack to help his new-found friends. As with Mal, his lightsaber scores a couple glancing blows on Joker, but while enough to give Joker second thoughts, they're not enough to bring him down.Marc's able to land some blows with his armored fists, but Mike remains intent on bashing him on the head with his makeshift club.
