GONK (D4LA)

[Nara Phln]

Nara presses various buttons until she finds the one for her rifle's ascension gun and then quickly fires it to follow Manny into the air.
"Best gun eveeeeeeeeeeeeeer"
While she does her best to stay quiet the Chiss does take a quick selfie mid ascent

Day 4 LA Gonk, Ascension Gun attachment, easy ranged light,: 1eP+3eA+1eD 2 successes, 1 threat

[Flession]

You all happily make your way up the building in style, bypassing a lot of the labor needed to make the ascension. Working smart over working hard is the way to go. At that, you have arrived at the vantage point. It's a bit unstable, but it will get the job done. Of course, it is hard to tell if the Chiss is here, even with scopes and visual tools you have on you. It's not like those holovids you watch where they conveniently keep the victim in a cage in the middle of the camp ready and easy for him to rescue because the script wants it to happen. Not to mention there are several buildings inside of those walls. The only way to 100% confirm it would be to get in there. That, in and of itself, comes with its own risks. Probably not the wisest of moves while they're all back at their base, but then again, you're all big damn heroes, so it may work out.

Until then, just got to figure out what it is you're looking for up here.
~~

Meanwhile, back with the others...

The Gonks are starting to intensify their search for whomever shot that blaster. They're not with you yet, but from where you are currently, you'll easily be exposed. You should probably find a better location soon, unless you get caught.

[Manny Donos]

Manny pulled out his commlink (with a flourish), sending a message to Jyr.

Hey, do you think you could do something big? Draw out some of the guys inside?

[Jyrvess Ertil]

Jyrvess observed the tightening security, then she got the page. With a sigh she took a quick look around for something that could help provide a distraction. Preferably something loud and obnoxious and able to be timed....

[Flession]

((Go ahead and roll me a perception check, then. Hard difficulty, but you and Shoula can do a assisted check, if you wish.))

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"We need some noise...see anything?" Jyrvess asked her compatriot. Between the two of them they saw at least one promising source of mayhem.

Perception in the GONK Thread, Looking to for something to cause a ruckus. Boost from my the Dancer extraordinary!: 1eP+2eA+1eB+3eD 1 success, 2 advantage

[Flession]

With both of you on point, you search around and can confirm that there...really isn't all that much around you to distract them with. They picked this whole area practically clean. No red barrels to shoot, no machines to remote hack to distract someone. Not even a cardboard box to make a move in closer. All you have are a bunch of structurally unsound buildings. That could work, but there are obvious risks to messing with said structure, not to mention you probably not having the gear to effect said structure, not the physical prowess to do anything to it.

You're both just a 'dancer' and a 'librarian, not military specialists. The only thing you really have on them right now is you're much smarter than them. Maybe not that shirtless guy (why is he shirtless in a potential warzone, anyways?)

You two could be the distraction, of course, and the buildings are ruined enough to send them on a wild goose chase for quite a while after you. It's not the best plan, and if you get caught, it would be very bad for both of you, but it would give the other two the distraction they need. You could buy them time with some misdirection and deception with what's around you.

Or maybe something else comes to mind?

((You can use that 2 advantage for a boost for deception roll at average, or whatever else you choose, as well as do a assisted roll again.))

[Jyrvess Ertil]

Jyrvess rubs her head, "Alright we are bout to do something stupid. Keep your blaster out and stay back here. I might need a few...let's call it punctuations to what I am about to do." She smiles nervously, "Oh and be ready to run. Wish me luck. Oh and hold these." She hands over her datapad and backpack.

She straightened and pulled down on her tunic to clear out the wrinkles, a change came over her posture and expression. Jyrvess practically dripped arrogance. She moved around, staying in sight of the other woman.

Then she yelled out, "This is the ISB! Lower your weapons or you will be fired upon! We have a squad in position to fire down on you and another on stand by. We have some questions! Answer them to our satisfaction and we may forgot about your little cesspit!"

Deception to GONK the GONK. Boost from Advantages on previous roll and Assist: 2eP+1eA+2eB+2eD 2 successes, 1 Triumph

[Flession]

The Gonks immediately scramble around after hearing your voice echo thru the abandoned city streets. They Gonk don't seem to understand much, but they recognize the words "ISB." They all begin to scramble while the shirtless looks around, trying to get them to call down. It's not long before he gets frustrated and angry with everyone and starts to beat the crap out of all the Gonks who won't listen to him. It's...actually fairly brutal. His movements are rather strong, his actions are swift and the flow of his body around the horde is rather beautiful. Though, the absolute brutality of his actions would snap anyone out of it; there's quite a lot of blood on him now.

The man looks much stronger than he appears. And he looked pretty strong already. Someone to try to avoid direct confrontation with, if possible.

In the meantime, the camp itself seems to be scattering, heading in and out, scrambling about in a absolute panic. You don't know what those two did, Manny, but you have a clear view of of everything. You can see where they would come from in a emergency and a few locations that don't look all that fortified. In fact, there are even some places you could climb up or sneak in thru the gaps into the gate.

It's your choice how you'll plan your way thru to get to the main building, but barring you actually choosing to go in thru the front door, you should be okay.

[Manny Donos]

Well, that was some good stuff to know! But they'd probably overstayed their welcome.

"We should go." Manny said.

[Sholua Tempes]

Sholua shook her head at the antics of all. Jyr proved to be able to think quickly, Nara showed some decent combat skills, and Manny . . . was Manny.

Hopefully they'd learnt enough to avoid the shirtless Mirialan maniac next time around.

[Nara Phln]

"Damn though"
Nara was peering down through her scope
"Nice bod, guess being a barbarian warlord means you work out."
With a resigned sigh she agrees though, it was time to retreat and prepare for day 2....the Gonkening.

[Manny Donos]

Manny frowned, crossing his arms. "I guess, if you're into that. But I think he skips leg day, and doesn't core enough."

[Nara Phln]

Manny frowned, crossing his arms. "I guess, if you're into that. But I think he skips leg day, and doesn't core enough."

"Maybe that's why he turned to evil? Unbalanced musculature, unbalanced mind."

[Sholua Tempes]

"If I could read his tattoos I could probably find out why . . . "

She left it at that for now, as they retreated away from the place.

[Jyrvess Ertil]

Hopefully the chaos continues, Jyrvess would need save any real analysis of what happened for a quieter moment...away from the potentially murderous Gonks.

[Flession]

The chaos does, indeed, continue to your benefit as you all take full advantage of it to make your exit as quickly and quietly as possible. It isn't much you got, but it's a start to getting in there and figuring everything out.
