With a button press from Rokun, the Droideka steps out of its containment chamber and pauses for a moment before balling up and rolling quickly right past Miavenna, aiming to end up behind her. The advantage in battle always lay with the one who manages to strike first and Miavenna hoped to capitalize on that, she charged at the Droideka with her staff aiming a thrust at its mid-section as soon as it stood up, hoping she may get in a lucky strike before its blasters came into play. [Die rolls courtesy of Gisk: Droideka, Speed Roll 6: 21 Mia: Shock Staff 7: 29 Mia strikes for eight damage. Droideka is wounded.] Kilgaris just stared 'judging' her. As the fight ensued, three more joined the Kilgaris to watch. Huleez, Aleko, and Fiona, all having submitted to the security check and been briefed. Huleez watched, as impassive as ever, with Aleko standing hands-on-hips to one side, and Fiona behind her. Inwardly, Huleez felt awkward in the front, but she didn't allow this to show. It wouldn't do when they were this deep in their ruse to suddenly change to a shy girl. As it may seem, the luck was on her side and the shock staff penetrated the shield like a hot knife through butter, effectively striking its spine though the force wasn't as much as Mia would have wanted. She had aimed for a one hit kill and failed, well it was a failure as per her mother's standards. Sensing an opportunity to finish this in another strike she side stepped to his flank and went for a thrust to his maw this time aiming to knock its head off if successful. She felt a bit confident that she may leave a good impression on her brother or she may end up antagonising him further seeing how their relationship was, due to her mother. [Mia, Shock Staff 7: 22 Droideka, Blaster 6: 26 Droideka lands for 4 damage. Mia is wounded.] It won't be wrong to say that she had underestimated the speed at which these droids operated, her sidestepping wasn't enough to get her out of its range as the Droideka swivelled to shock her right in the mid riff. She winced at the jolt of pain and bit her lip to keep of the surge of anger that blasted forth in her mind. Putting even more force in her swing she went for the overhead slice, aiming to smash the droid to pieces. [Mia, Shock staff 7: 4-5-1-5-2-2-6=25 Droideka, shields 5: 1-1-1-6-5=14 11 points damage to droid, It's destroyed] Perhaps advanced AI had made it more foolhardy and human like, for it instead of trying to roll away, the Droideka pumped its shield to try and repel the malevolent strike, failing miserably at it and ending up destroyed. Mia kicked at its metal leg as she turned holding her abdomen, the shock still affecting her, her red eyes glowed momentarily with anger as she walked back to Saidor. "I'll repair that for you later." she said before walking back to Kilgaris. "I think it’s your turn, brother." she said, eyeing the newcomers that had joined them on the test ground, giving them a dismissive glance before looking back to the stage hoping to see the results of Kilgaris's training. Kilgaris nodded and walked into the ring. Holding the blaster ready he waited for another droid to show up. He didn’t know how well using a blaster would work as he’d never used one before in his life. But hey, all you had to do is point it in a direction and pull the trigger. The Droid rolled into the middle of the training area and unfolded itself, deploying its shields to deflect any blaster fire that was directed at it. Kilgaris started flipping using his acrobatic skills to get behind the droideka and dodge blaster fire. He then pushed the gun through the shield and fired. [Kilgaris acrobatics 5 (Minus one for multiple actions): 5-1-5-5 = 16 Droid blaster 6 (Minus one for multiple actions): 1-4-3-2-1 = 11 Droid shields 5 (Minus one for multiple actions): 4-1-6-5 = 16 Kilgaris blaster 2 (No trained skill, and minus one for multiple actions) : 2 = 2 No damage done this round Deftly flipping and flying around the battlefield, Kilgaris manages to stay ahead of the droids tracking sensors, but when he gets closer to try and take a point blank shot the droids shields easily deflect the blaster shot and push his weapon away from the torso. Seeing the various weapons available for him to choose Mia was surprised that Kilgaris picked the blaster. For all she knew, her uncle excelled in the use of the Vibroblade and Kilgaris would surely had received the same training. Plus, there was a hint that he practised with a lightsaber in the shadows, away from the prying eyes of her mother. So, Mia was more confused by his actions. She felt a bit anxious about the way this fight was going. The blaster wasn’t the best weapon to give account of his robust skills. She took a step towards the inventory, ever so slightly so as to avoid notice. If she could get her hands on a Vibroblade, maybe Kilgaris can end this with a single strike. [Mia stealth roll Perception 2 (no trained skill): 4-3 = 7 Rokun spotting roll 4: 4-3-2-2 = 11] Rokun spots Mia edging towards the weapons bay and fires a blaster shot at the ground around her feet, shaking his head sternly, “Don’t…” A shot that nearly blew her big toe, she wasn’t sure if he had aimed it this close or if it was mere luck but that stopped her cold in her tracks. She just hoped Kilgaris had enough juice to get selected. How the fight was panning out, she wasn’t impressed with his presence of mind or maybe he had some trick up his sleeve, since she knew he was strong in the force like her. Kilgaris felt annoyed. His idea had been to push the blaster through the deflector shield and fire but it seemed that he had moved too quickly thus stopping the blaster going through. He then did a flip backwards to get some ground then puts his hand in his cloak and takes it back out, this time holding a lightsaber which ignites (one end) in his hand. The red blade hums as Kilgaris waits for the droideka to make the first move. The droideka pauses to assess this development, but has no data on this new weapon and simply opens fire. [Droideka, blaster and shield, penalty of one to each: Blaster: 19 Shield: 17 Kilgaris, blade skill, rolls twice to beat the blaster, then the shield, penalty of one to each roll: Blade against blaster: 22 Blade against shield: 20 Both success. Total of 6 damage, write your part appropriately] Siador smirked at the use of a lightsaber. Sure, it was probably a family heirloom, but maybe he actually had some training. Maybe even training in the force? Maybe he was strong in the Force, but that was unlikely. Besides, anyone could learn to use a lightsaber with the proper training. He would have to wait and see. A fierce smirk appeared on Mia’s face. Finally the skeleton was out of the closet. So Kilgaris indeed had training in the lightsaber and her uncle was training him in secret away from her mother. She felt sorry for the paranoia that her mother had but wasn’t too happy with the sneaky nature of this development. Here she was hoping to give their relation a chance and on the other hand, Kilgaris maybe be secretly wanting to get rid of herself and her family. She’d just have to wait and see. The lightsaber was a wonderful blood red hue, she had no knowledge of the design or anything, she had only heard stories of the Jedi of the last age and how their own had squared off against them and the Sith from time to time, ultimately betrayed by the sith. She saw the sweet movement and ease with which Kilgaris moved, it was as if he had transformed. She waited for the result with bated breath. Maybe showing a Sith weapon on this planet be a blessing in disguise. [Huleez, Perception, untrained Stealth: 7… Everyone who was free to see spots it] When the Dathomirian ignited his lightsaber, Huleez took a step back, letting her arm nudge Aleko. The droideka now had a damaged blaster which was now unoperational. Kilgaris then lunged aiming his lightsaber at the shield generator hoping to destroy it and maybe even shut down the droid. [Kilgaris, Lightsaber 7: 20 Droideka, shield 5: 14 6 points of damage. 12 damage, droid is incapacitated. Fight is over.] After the lightsaber came out, Rokun stopped the test, looking over at Saidor for his reaction, “Test weapons only, please confer with Saidor for your test results.” Kilgaris grunted kicking the now useless pile of scrap a bit to the side. “Its destroyed isn’t it?” in a deep gruff voice as he walked towards Saidor putting the lightsaber once again back in the hidden pocket in his robes. It was Huleez Dryne’s turn. She had a blaster rifle, a weapon she wasn’t terribly familiar with. But the Force was with her, and she was good with her hands, so she had some confidence as she stepped forward. Another droideka rolled out to meet her. Having watched Kilgaris’ fight, she tried to blast it before its shield deployed. [Huleez, Dexterity untrained 5: 17 Droideka, shield 5: 12 5 points of damage.] The blast struck home, but the shield went up afterwards, blocking her other attempts. She knew even the best shields weren’t perfect, so she tried to hit them repeatedly in a close formation, but the droid was firing now and she was dodging to keep from getting hit. [Huleez, Evade 7 -1 for multiple moves: 18 Droid, blaster 6 -1 for multiple moves: 15 Miss. Huleez, Dex untrained 5 - 1 for multiple moves: 18 Droid, shield 5 - 1 for multiple moves: 19 Reflected. One damage to Huleez.] Her rapid fire may have worked, but one of the blaster bolts reflected and grazed her arm, halting her fire momentarily. But she started again, tirelessly dodging, her barrel’s aim scarcely leaving a spot on the droid’s shield. [Huleez, Evade 7 -1 for multiple moves: 18 Droid, blaster 6 -1 for multiple moves: 19 Hit, 1 damage to Huleez Huleez, Dex untrained 5 - 1 for multiple moves: 14 Droid, shield 5 - 1 for multiple moves: 21 Reflected, 7 damage to Huleez. 9 total, incapacitated.] Her rapid volley bounced back her way, peppering her with blaster fire. It was lucky that it was diffused by its contact with the shield, but she was still burned badly. She sank to her knees with the pain, and put a hand up in a weak warding gesture against the droid. Rokun shut down the droid before the test could go any further, and stepped out onto the field, assessing her wounds clinically while he commed for a med tech, satisfied that there had been no critical damage, he proceeded to wave Saidor over to give his assessment. Saidor looked at the new woman. “It seems you need more practice with you blaster. I’m sure Rokun can teach you to properly use one, as it seems you haven’t yet had any training. It’s ultimately up to him as to whether you passed or not, but I believe you need a bit more training before you are certified to carry a weapon.” Saidor then addressed the horned man. “Interesting, that you would choose to use a lightsaber. I assume it is a family heirloom. May I examine it?” Kilgaris stood silently, he didn’t want to part with it as it had taken decades for his family to acquire it and it would be no good if he gave it away. Plus the fact he felt a powerful connection to it. He finally decided to give it to be examined. If things went the wrong way the man didn’t look that strong (although he does understand that sometimes looks can be deceiving) so he assumed it wouldn’t take much to get it back. He slowly pulled it out and handed the metal stick to the man. Saidor examined the lightsaber. “Interesting, late First Republic, maybe early Imperial age, though I’d go with the first, as there were far more Jedi at that time. A family heirloom?” he paused for a second, looking at Kilgaris, then continued. “Either way, a valuable artifact.” He handed it back to Kilgaris. “I’d make sure I held onto that if I were you. Impressive work, though. I see no problem with you using it.” He moved his robe to the side at his waist, revealing an ancient lightsaber. “As you can see, I also use one to defend myself. If you like, I can train you further in its use.” Kilgaris didn’t answer any of the questions or fill him in with the blades history because he didn’t feel like the man needed to know, when he saw the lightsaber however he nodded saying “Yes that would be… appreciated” as he hid the lightsaber back into his robe. “Very well, then. I’ll give everyone a tour of the facilities now.” He motioned to the group. “If you’ll follow me, I’ll show you the colony.” Kilgaris walked back to Miavenna waiting for her to follow Saidor.
