Emilia caught the stone as in that moment the camp went on about its business with the select few whom she glanced over the crest of the rock she was laying on at. [member="Ryan Korr"] was who she saw run off and her brow raised as she reached out again and touched a very clear signature before laughing and going back to tossing the stone up and done. She knew what that signature felt like well enough from her years with the Sith so she wasn't too worried about it considering that the Jedi Master whom she knew could handle himself ran off. Her eyes did linger for a moment not on Ryan but on [member="Travot Ravenna"]. He was different, atleast for a second. She didn't think he quite sensed the signature yet as someone went to speak to him.

For the time that was until he too vanished from her sight and her hand paused in its game of catch with gravity. "I wonder..." She reached out again as her mind separated itself from her body and let her eyes act in their own right. Maybe there was something worth actual worry maybe... she wasn't quite sure though and it caused her to doubt how controlled the situation was as her body found itself sitting up and a silent thought was transferred to Daeda to wake him up. This was the feeling she had earlier but she still could not pinpoint what it was she was sensing. It was familiar, fuzzy but not gone. Something she had sense before and something she knew she had experienced. Who was it that was out there that gave her that moment of pause and thought she wondered. Her tail curled behind her as she waited to see what it was, curious who was coming from her perch on the rocks.

 

[Muad Dib]

Location: near the mining site
Allies: Mandalorians
Enemies: Jedi, republics
Equipment:
Beskar'gam, dinu'ul, force imbued straight sword, two lightsabers, light foil, bandolier of explosives, skinning knife

Tree to tree he leaped until landing near the rear of the mine. It was easy to see the sentry, the jedi master, standing in the clearing. Laughing he flipped forward from the branch and landed in a crouch on the ground. Slowly the Sith rose, his right gauntleted hand pulling free the sword from it's scabbard upon his back. He twirled his hand as he backed toward where the entrance was. He felt his vode nearing, including the bear like one, and chuckled.

"My wee little jedi, let's talk this out. You're outnumbered. You're outmatched. You're outclassed. Collect your people and fall back and let us take the prize and there doesn't have to be any battles today. In fact we can even allow your people to purchase back the gem, at a hefty inflated price. Now f you choose to fight, which personally I'm hoping for, know that people will die, the gem might be taken anyway, and we will fight worrying not about collateral damage. This will be on you and your conscience if you choose to fight. My conscience is clear ... cause I don't have one."

Muad Db grinned as he rotated his wrist twirling the sword while rolling shoulders and bouncing on the balls of his feet. As soon as his vode appeared the master jedi would be too busy and Muad would enter the mine with plans to find that talking crystal.

[Tydeus of Tion]

Many thoughts flashed through the Jedi Master's mind at the sight of a mandalorian dark sider, but he remained silent; his face a mask of stony regard. As the mandalorian talked, Ryan put away his saber and shoto, electing to withdraw the long-hilted weapon from his back.

His reply came swiftly, taking the form of a sudden and startling snap-hiss from the activating blade as its frigid blue length grew into existence. The long hilt gave it the appearance of a short-spear more than a blade. [member="Muad Dib"]'s words had barely finished leaving his lips before Ryan was upon him, saber simmering through the air with an athleticism born of ataru.

The saber came for the dark sider's throat, as if to sever any further utterance from the man. The blow broke off at the last moment with a dexterous twitch and Ryan flowed smoothly from the feint into a thrust. The blade fell woefully short, no doubt eliciting confusion from Ryan's adversary. Any such befuddlement was soon clarified by the force pull that ripped at the man, in an attempt to impale him through the gut upon the saber's glowing tip.

 

[Muad Dib]

Location: at the mouth of the mining site
Allies: Mandalorians
Enemies: Jedi, republics
Equipment:
Beskar'gam, dinu'ul, force imbued straight sword, two lightsabers, light foil, bandolier of explosives, skinning knife

An amused grin crossed his face as the jedi attacked. Bringing his lightsaber up in a defensive block he didn't fall for the feint, but as the thrust came in Muad brought his sword up to deflect it only to find his opponent's blade had come up short. A laugh exploded from him as he shifted his feet a bit and again mocked the master jedi.

"When you attack you need to know your weapon's rang--arg!"

To say that the force pull had caught him off guard was an understatement. It stumbled forward toward the glowing blade, his sword out of alignment. Twisting his torso and rolling his right shoulder back and raising his arm he felt the energy blade skim along just under his armpit where the armor was not. But thankfully the bodysuit had beskar strands weaved into it.

But despite the beskar in the body glove he felt the searing heat and a flash of pain as the lightsaber bit into his flesh scoring a painful and irritating wound that would cause pain any time Muad would move his right arm. As he torqued his torso he brought his left arm up in an uppercut aimed at the jedi's jaw intending to knock the man out, off balance, or just push him back a few steps so the Mad Knight could continue his spin and bring the sword around for a horizontal slash at the master jedi's chest.

Betna cleared the treeline finally with the rest of the Mandalorians. He quickly spotted Muad, crossing blades with a Jedi. He knew Muad was a skilled warrior and a brutal combatant, but he also knew that the man took the occasionally suicidal risk. The fact that the Force user was still alive spoke volumes, but Betna figured he liked his friend alive rather than the alternative.

Blade in hand, Betna stepped more fully into the open. His armor was matte black and worn, pitted and scarred in places from a lifetime of war. Beneath the plating an armorweave flightsuit could be seen, the dark red it was dyed showing the color of drying blood.

"Jettii," he called to the battling 'saber jockey, his tone amused. "You are outnumbered, outgunned, and yet you chose to fight. I am both intrigued and encouraged by such behavior. We had thought the Republic's Guardians to be weak; brought to their knees by the Sith onslaught. Yet here you stand and fight."

He triggered the dinu'ul in his hand, the energy shield flashing to life in a glowing disc. Muad would spot the cue to disengage, he hoped. The crystal was valuable, but it wasn't worth the lives of his friends, ultimately.

"I've never fought a Jedi before," he continued, his helmet's external comms rendering his voice harsh and metallic. Beneath the faceplate, his lips curled into a feral smile. "Let's change that. I challenge you, Jettii. Come fight me like a warrior... Unless you think you'd be better off running away to fight another day."

 

[Hal'kanor]

Allies: Mandos
Enemies: Republic, [member="Travot Ravenna"], [member="Emilia Marean"]
Gear: Durasteel Bearskar'gam, Arkudan Maulers (x2), B.E.A.R.S. Blaster Cannon.

Hal'kanor burst out if the trees, skidding to a stop upon seeing [member="Ryan Korr"]. A Jedi, and it seemed a strong one at that. He consittered moving to help [member="Muad Dib"] out, but as he moved to do so, the Rally Master stepped out, challenging him. The Arkudan would have risked hitting Muad at this range anyways. Turning back to the mine, he looked over the entrance. No one coming out yet, and the tunnels would make it hard, if not impossible for him to fight in. Not the ideal scenario. The bear prepped the cannon on his back, planning to fire on anyone who came out of the door. As he did, he turned to [member="Cynthia Garon"]. "Time to go, kid. Stay safe."

Alexandra looked down from where she was laying on her back over the mine and saw as the bear approached the mine but seemed to completely miss her. Her body rolled and she looked at him as the tail curled up behind her that was afforded to her by her new body. She stared at the creature for a small time and waited for it to train its cannon on the door below her still seemingly missing her as she sat up and crossed her legs. Her body hunched over a little as her elbows found their place in her lap while her head rested on her curled hands, the chin placing itself on her knuckles.

She watched for a few moments as he talked to the one that he called a kid. Her smiled showed a bit as she spoke to him with a almost carefree tone. As if they were not enemies and she waited with her sabers and other weapons out of view minus one of her two sabers. The other instead of on her belt being in her sleeve with the telescopic vibrostaff still sitting in the small of her back. "Hey there, hello. You know, the weapon you have really takes away from how cute you are." She gave a wave with her left hand while her chin remained in the right one, waiting for the response from the bear.

A smile flashed up on Adenn's face when [member="Arrbi Betna"] mentioned that both Kezeroth and the bounty hunter, -Adenn-, would probably not need help when it came to fighting opposition. Still spinning his pistol, the Rally Master let his helmet lower into his hand before placing it on his head again. Finding that it was actually lagging slightly less than a few moments ago, but the bounty hunter would probably have to fix something with the cameras providing the 360 degree vision, as the amount on information going into just one part of the helmet was probably bugging it out.

Deciding to work on the HUD situation on the go, Adenn started in a jog away from the shuttle, finally holstering his pistol before calling back to [member="Kezeroth the Beholder"], waving his own hand in the direction they would be headed. "C'mon, we might as well get a slight head start on the rest of 'em." While jogging at a reasonable pace, Adenn quickly started going through his HUD's menus, attempting to find the source of the lag before he would -inevitably- engage an opponent in battle.

It did not take long for the Rally Master to clear the tree-line, but when he did, he was partially out of breath, and @Maud Dib was fighting [member="Ryan Korr"] near the entrance to the mine. And just as Adenn was removing one of his sniper drones from his back, preparing to activate it, he spotted Field Marshal Betna standing near the battle calmly, as if he was holding a conversation with the two as they fought. When in actuality he was challenging the Jedi Master to a duel.

​"Shab… I wanted to use this thing too…" A small frown appeared on the man's face as he tried to figure out exactly what Betna was doing, which when he would find out soon, it would probably both annoy and intrigue the bounty hunter, as taking on a Master one-on-one had to be extremely difficult.

 

[Tydeus of Tion]

Korr felt his blade bite into the beskar'gam, searing through fragile weave at the armpit. He grit his teeth and moved to advance, only to reel back as a sudden uppercut whipped toward him. The blow cracked against the side of his jaw and he grunted, taking a step backward and bringing up his long-hilt blade in a double-handed grip that stymied the opponent's spinning slash aimed for his chest. Their blades locked for a moment, spitting up sparks of blue.

The Jedi Master's face contorted, all hard lines sapped of youthful flesh. The appearance of other armored figures emerging from the treeline drew his attention and with a swift rotation of the wrists he stepped back and disengaged.

His chin throbbed where the punch had landed, but he would soon receive much worse if he fought in the open, surrounded on all sides.

Korr eyed the black-armored mando with the taunting, helmet-muffled words. A fight? So be it. But it would be on ground and terms of his own choosing.

The Force blossomed in Ryan, flowing through his body and empowering his legs as he leaped backward in a somersault that carried him to the edge of the mine. Another jump took him over a bear-like creature and a fellow Jedi to the mine's entrance.

The Jedi planted his feet and turned to greet the assembled mandalorians. The black mouth of the mine yawned behind him.

"Padawan Marean," he called, voice clear and crisp, "Go. Warn the others. I will hold them."

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

The Darkside giant was caught in thought still stuck over the fact that another fellow Vod attempted to command him into direction. No one commanded Kezeroth except the Darkside and when it came to the Darkness Kezeroth was almost one being. As [member="Adenn Gra'tua"] continued without him the Gen'dai could only chuckle some, For an odd reason the vod's pace was funny to him. Minutes past.... Kezeroths perception of time was vastly different than any other beings. Living for so long had that effect on you.

In the distance combat echoed and beacon-ed his name in a whisper. Now was the time for pain and destruction, no more delay! In a inhale like motion Kezeroth imbuned his body with the force augmenting it as a start, He doubted he needed much more against mere jedi. Sprinting into battle the Gen'dai tabbed his bracers controls and read rather quickly that [member="Arrbi Betna"] & [member="Adenn Gra'tua"] had made contact. Kezeroths comm blinked as he spoke to his Vod. " Out of the way! Hes mine!!" He shouted as he Charged into the area.

With a mighty leap the Darkside giant smashed into the ground several feet away from the mine entrance. " Hah! Jedi Scum!" Summoning his Lightclub his armored right hand Kezeroth chuckled and ignited the lava colored blade. The blade of the weapon seemed to stop at about three meters in length. Rushing toward [member="Ryan Korr"] like a bull Kezeroth aimed for a wide sweep with the intention to test the Jedis mettle
