Zerras managed to tumble past securing the door momentarily for the others.

"We're running out of time!"

"I'm not a Jedi! I'm a Nightbrother!" He shouted, trying to repeat Verse's manouvre with finding the killswitch near the ceiling. Alas, the dark in the corridor made it impossible this time.

Verse probably heard Daunt, but the intensity of the moment negated any thought of a response. Besides, she didn't even *know* what a nightbrother was! Rather than dwell on her ignorance, she ran forward towards the door. This time it was her turn to utilize raw strength to try and get the door to open. The shielding prevented lightsabers from passing, but her hands would still do the trick!

The door started to inch open...

Qareme is a lot less showy than Verse, but right now that didn't matter. With a hard bang she charged into the door, pushing on it as Verse pushed on the other, the team trying to pry it open.

"Amost....got...it..."

The Sith Lord was getting closer. Zerras tried to quietly slipped over to an override switch, but it wouldn't be soon enough.

Qareme brought her saber up and struck at Vader. He deflected the attack with ease, but it allowed Qareme to take the mans eyes away from the others so they could push on.

The attack is easily parried as they clash with a solid backhand then a vicious strike with his weapon to teach her there is no escape.

OOC: Improved Parry used for 10 wounds, breach 1. Suffer 1 strain for the Threat as well.

Qareme did her best to deflect as much of the hit as possible, determined to give the team as much time as they needed

Daunt was about to face Vader himself but seeing Qareme advancing, he tried to use the distraction to get some killswitch for the hydraulics of it. But it was too close to the fight and he couldn't reach it without marching in the midst of the uneven duel.

Verse had very much the same idea that Daunt did, and just like the Zabrak simply couldn't find an opening to take advantage of.

Desperation crept into Zerras' mind. They just needed to delay the Sith Lord a little more. There had to be a way. She looked for anything, and found an opening.

Lord Vader was growing annoyed at these vermin. It was time to end this.

OOC: After Objective 3 In addition to prior difficulties each roll adds 2 Threat and an additional setback.

If they complete this they escape the wrath of Lord Vader.

Daunt looked forth, trying to see any way to pass the last bulkhead. He noticed a cable that once disconnected might do it, but it was way beyond their reach...

Next, Verse tried to leverage her vast knowledge of engineering systems. But it wasn't actually vast at all.

Mechanics, Destiny, All the setbacks and stuff, FLOW: 2eP+2eF+2eC+1eD+4eS 1 failure, 5 threat, 3 Light Side
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

so 7 threat total, equaling +3 setback to the next roller, +1 strain for me; and 1 LS to heal 1 strain (still at 11)

Qareme pushed past the pain to try and find something to help get them through the next challenge. Through the alarms, and the darkness, and the pain, and the evil personification of far too much leather behind them, she spotted something.

Zerras tried to use a nearby console to unlock the last bulkhead. She wasn't good with computers, and she thought she might have made it worse. Either way, they weren"t going anywhere.

Daunt remembered the fear, the savagery of his first encounter with Darth Vader, his lizard brain making him lunge on the Sith Lord like a cornered beast that was meeting an apex predator. He remembered being lost on so many things. Now he wasn't too much 'found' but at least he could look at the mask without his hands trembling. They had been eluding him for a good moment. He was powerful, but not omnipotent. In this universe there existed a very minuscule composition of circumstances in which he could be stopped, killed.

Daunt believed he was born with the gift for something, for some purpose. Maybe all the strange circumstances that he had encountered were to prepare him to this moment, when this non-zero chance would be seized. His orphanhood. Viscus' rearing. Maul's brutal schooling that got erased from his conscious mind. Juri's nurturing. Valus' teachings. Meeting and training with Lyla. And most of all, facing Vader before.

He was now facing him again, Defiance drawn and lit. He was very tired, but he wouldn't come down without a fight, even with death looking into his uranium eyes from the reflexive black of Vader's helmet.

"I remember you. I'm Daunt, and this time I'm not afraid."

MN9. Daunt Fights Darth Vader! Flip. 2 Threat.: 3eP+2eA+4eC+4eS 1 failure, 4 threat

Alas, this non-zero chance didn't materialise.
