Sand Crawlin' (D4, Mid-Morning)

[Claymore Frost]

Clay drops down. He listens to the chatter

[Tranq Sayzin]

Fingers tightened on the spear blaster. His mind raced, replaying the moment of betrayal beneath the waves. The sudden fire that surrounded them. The SCUBA troopers forcing him and Master Scylla apart.

"Stealing from a research station? I thought the Empire rewarded loyal soldiers." His voice was ice, an edge of hatred there.

[Honor]

"The Empire!?" the one who brought Raven down said incredulously. "The Empire turned our Brothers against us, they-"

"Quiet trooper," the one at the lead said, "all this noise is going to-"

Just then the beast came bursting out of the sands, it appeared like a crab, covering itself with stone-like forms and snapping claws.

Please roll initiative, Vigilance.

[Tranq Sayzin]

Tranq brought the rifle level, breathing in deeply as he steadied himself, grateful for the thermal cloak to push away the effects of the heat. The Adversary was truly vicious, but he let loose with the blaster bolt. It lanced... between the two eyestalks of the great beast, forcing it to the ground as if to duck out of the way. "Raven, Solork, I see an opening, get it!" He yelled out after the shot, feeling the eyes of Destiny on him.

As the beast lets out it's legs to try and evade the blaster bolt, Tranq finds that his weapon, attuned to be able to be used in aquatic environments, was prone to some defects from the sand. Making it so that the weapon's energy pack was disrupted to the point of failing after the first blast!

[Despair: Ranged Weapon "runs out of ammunition."]

[Raven Cadera]

"On it!" Holding her blade steady, Raven charged in and skidded along the sand to face the threat head on.

Even as it had been forced low by Tranq's shot, her blade was unable to pierce its defenses, and she glanced around for a tactical clue...

[Honor]

Raven notices an in/downward slant to the pit they're currently fighting in that leads in toward the Crab-creature itself.

[Edit: Ghosting will likely take place on this after I get home tomorrow to get us through it!]

[Solork Tan]

"It's just like pack hunting." Sure, the crab was a target, and it was big and nasty, but at the end of the day it was prey. Tranq's blasts flush it from the sands and Raven's positioning gives Solork a way in. He comes in, sword ready for a thrust, but something tells him there was a better way. He drops his shield and comes in with a haymaker, the repulsor fist giving a satisfying "WHOMP" as hit hits home, stunning the creature.

[Honor]

Feeling the crunch of the onslaught rippling through it's body the creature shifted, stirred, and buried it's legs deep into the sand. Curling in it's eye-stalks all the way back behind the carapace. With it's big rocky claws up in front of itself for good measure.

"Troopers!" the leader ordered, "Get shooting on that.. crab.. thing!"

Both the clone, dressed as a storm trooper, and the leader stepped up. Pulled up old-model blaster pistols and started blasting at the crabs hard shell. From around, on different rocky plateau and other outcroppings the other clones in the area, in their old gear, brought up their rifles and started blasting away at the things shell as well.

[Top of the Round]

(I don't believe this combat will result in any permanent injuries, as a result feel free to begin your Day 5 without worry.)

[Raven Cadera]

Raven went for another attack but the creature's defenses were too solid for her to penetrate.

"Careful of the sand, I think it's making a trap!"

[Tranq Sayzin]

Any other person would be irritated that they hadn't brought any spare ammo. Instead the Karkarodon grinned like a madman, and the spear-blasted was whipped around as he charged in. He raced across the sands, thermal cloak billowing behind him as he jumped up from the sand, lunging at the crab.

"That only matters if it stays alive long enough to be a problem."

Sol rolls and picks up his shield, placing it out in front to brace himself for the next impact. He practices his meditation breathing, letting it bolster him.

"Rain hell Frost!"

[Honor]

Tranq, uncertain about his footing in the sand found little purchase and went slipping down into the sand when he stepped forward.

3 threat for Tranq to fall prone.

[No further destiny spends here, for now]
