Escape from the Mines (Shunna Maza , Ubi Sunt & Callie)

[Shunna Maza]

OoC - Uh-oh I hope I'm not becoming predictable!

OoC2 - Not sure what action Shunna is trying to get a feel for? Is it following the Captain out of the slave pen?  If so, because it only takes a moment, she feels both good and bad things may result.

Shunna does not sense the presence of other beings hiding in the immediate area of the guard room nor Force users nearby or within 100km.

The Captain wastes no time here insisting that they keep moving.  Exiting the guard chamber, you follow the main corridor to an opening which reveals a large crack in The Rock.  There is nothing but darkness beyond what light sources can penetrate looking up down or left or right.  A retractable platform bridges the gap to another long corridor which you all take with a slight jog, sensing a need for haste to leave.  The further along she goes, Shunna begins to feel relieved to be away from the underground slave pen operating here.  The others fill her in on the details of The Rock, the Wildcard, Holon  Veil, etc.  The party stops for a moment when they reach a closed door.  It is here that Shunna begins to feel worried, but not through the Force, just an innate sense of something gone wrong.  The Captain approaches the door while laying curses at some droid named Fog, or Fogger, or Fogging piece of junk, when the door opens for them...

They rush into a dark open chamber, lit only by the light of the corridor they just exited.  Shunna stops to sense her surroundings.... and feels the presence of... Spot lights turn on one by one revealing white helmets and white armor.  At least a dozen Storm troopers stand ready, spread out among the stone seats surrounding a sand floor arena.  A lone figure stands in the middle of the arena, he is human, balding with thin strands of grey hair, black battle armor, and a grey cloak.  

A light shines down on an almost comical droid with whirring sensors and antennae protruding from it's head.  "And now, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the main event of the evening.  Who will emerge victorious in a battle of life and death?  Will it be a motley band of vagabonds or the hardened fist of the Empire?"

"Shut up Fog, you talk too much."  The lone figure says venomously.  "Did you think you could escape the Empire that easily Captain Sunt?  Don't you know we have spies everywhere?  No matter where you run to, we will find you, and destroy your petty Rebellion!"  The hiss of a red lightsaber echoes through the chamber.

Roll Initiative!

OoC - The Sense Force skill is a bit ambiguous to me.  It says it's only a DC 15 to notice another Force user but also says there are opposed rolls.  I rolled for you both, Shunna got a 27 and Kratos got a 30.  I want to look into the skill more in-depth to understand how it's supposed to work.  Here we are now.

[OoC: From my understanding, you only need a DC15 to sense another force user.  If you're successful and there is another force user that person can try to make a roll with a DC equal to whatever the first person rolled.  So if when sensing the force my DC15 result was a 27, the Force user I'm sensing can try to block me by rolling at least a 27.  If he does then I don't sense anything.  But that's for sensing another force wielder, not sensing danger.

As for what danger Shunna was trying to sense for, it was mainly things like, "We are following this passage, will going in this direction be favorable or unfavorable."  Or, "If we open this door will it be favorable or unfavorable."  She was just trying not to get ambushed, like I think she just was.   ]

Shunna abruptly stops and takes in what's going on...  [Perception +10 =14  ] but she was still preoccupied with why the Force lead her to this place.  

[Initiative +9 = 19]

"I don't know the history you two have but we are just simple slaves," Shunna says pleadingly.  "Please let us go!"

[Persuasion +5 = 22]  [Holy shit!  She even nearly convinced herself!    ]
