Ophelia nodded to her master, she had her blaster in one hand and smiled. The light sparkling from her, within the dark. She didn't seem to be under the pressure of the darkness around her. She felt it, but it didn't get her. "I will master, shall we use the force and push them away over the cliff?" She had asked her master taking a step back as she was focusing the small portion of the light side of the force within her hand to utilize a Push. [member="Vulpesen"]

Vulpesen shok his head and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Big problem with that. We're at the bottom of a cliff. No where to push them. [member="Ophelia"], I want you to focus all your power of the force into your legs. And when I say jump, I want you to leap and let that energy carry you until it runs out. When it does, find a place to land and stay there until I join you." Vulpesen had always believed in practical training and now, this was as good a time as any to teach Ophelia the common skill of force leap.

Task: Moving along the north wall - Going for another Holocron
The cave grew thinner for each step but light in the distance had me getting my hopes up.
I hated the dark, little known fact but at least when it comes to those things I could hide it pretty well should I have to and considering who my boss was I very definitely needed to. Still, the fear wasn’t as much about actual darkness as what men and women can do in it. Stab you, maim you, assault you, plot against you, that kind of thing.
No, to be in the light was always preferable. Even if said light would reveal a pit full of technobeasts.
“I’ll take whatever path as long as I see where I set down foot.” It would seem danger had a way of bringing out what I had as a joker inside of me.
“Just, you know, don’t fall down and we should be fine.”
Snark was fine. I had already lost my shot at a raise anyway.

Lucien shrugged "I'll be fine even if I fall , the force is the path to a great many abilities... One of wich is the ability not to have your legs shatter like match sticks after a long fall ... And I'm sure you'll be fine too the techno beasts will break your fall. " Snark was indeed fine but only when lucien was being snarky too.
A few swallows and lucien was able to shuffle onto the path , he pressed himself right against the wall, he might survive the fall but the events that would immediately follow the fall would not be nice. A rock fell from the ledge that was masquerading as a path and lucien almost dedicated himself. He was seriously regretting coming along for this journey . Lucien stopped and slowly turned to @Elias Trunden "I bet Andra never brought you on adventures like this one did she"
Andra was smart not to have done this conquest had swiftly turned into a form of voluntary torture. None the less all they could do was continue to shuffle on down the wall toward the pit of hell.

Reaching into his deepest pits of energy, Zander cast about himself yet another Force Cloak - this wavering and hardly even consistent - before he took a leap to his feet. Racing around the boulder he had slid to the ground against, Zander moved as swiftly as his wounded body would allow. Charging through the closest two, Zander did not even touch them. Diving into a roll, he then slid underneath the largest who stumbled along mid-group.
Rising to his feet, Zander felt his energy falter, dropped the Cloak, continued running, and did his best to vacuum energies from the Force to replenish his reserves. Then, just as he neared the entrance to the path, Zander ducked swiftly, hardly believing the Force had warned him of the incoming swipe of a bladed arm. It had been aimed at his neck...
He could live without an arm, but he needed a head...
Charging through the entrance, while sounds warned that the beasts were again following him, Zander reached to grip the pin of a grenade as he charged by. Yanking it clean free, Zander dove once again, summersaulting against the ground as an explosion ripped parts of the walls free and barred his return in that direction. He hoped that while the other enemies climbed the dead, and rocks, that it would slow them a lot.

Damien heard the words that came through his comlink, shuddered at the idea of killing someone he had saved as a child, but resigned himself to obeying - if the chance presented itself of course, "Mr. Cordel, I am currently engaged in grabbing one of the Holocrons. I will attempt to take the man out when the chances arrive." Clashing blades with a large brute, Damien deactivated his saber, while sidestepping, only to reactivate it an instant later. The result was a sizzling slice that went clean through the Technobeast from shoulder to mid torso.
Spinning the blade in a quick backwards 8, Damien caught it with his left hand and brought the blade around the front to by pass another beasts defenses - a right handed guard, thus it sailed clean past. Hurtling a powerful Force Push, Damien watched as multiple bodies were lifted from their feet, and hurled down wind.

Each subsequent grenade as he charged, had a pulled pin, a detonation, and left another large pile of rubble for the Technobeasts to scale as they chased him down. Luckily for him, each of them was far enough apart that it didn't hinder his own movement. The lack of a second arm? Yeah that definitely hindered the elder mind.
Reaching the last of the grenades, Zander slid to a pause, deciding to change the idea wholly. Gripping the blade that held the grenade, he stood there attempting to catch his struggling breath. He found his muscles ached, his head still swam quite a bit, yet he was not wavering all that bad...suddenly a head could be seen climbing the rocks roughly a dozen feet back.
Launching the blade, he watch it sail like an arrow head until it struck with a solid assured thump. The beast reared back, tripped, and fell into the others that were climbing near behind it. Zander smiled and turned to continue his run.
He dropped the pin of the grenade at the same time it went off, likely killing several of his enemies.

Tackled to the ground by two synchronized bodies, Damien swept his saber into deactivation, enhanced his muscle strength and then brought the metal of the hilt into the neck of the one left-most. While this motion carried, Damien swept his leg upward into a knee kick that lifted the body by its torso. He also allowed this, and a curling of his abdomen, to flip them in the air until he landed in a mid crouch with his knee crushing the beings chest plate. Igniting his saber once more, as now he was far enough that the blade would not instantly kill him, Damien severed the first's head. Then he ended the second with a similar swipe.
Rising back to his feet, with a telekinetic pull at his own shoulders, it was as if he had received a helping hand in doing so. He did so with just enough time to slide to the side, spinning three sixty until he stood facing the back shoulder of one beast that had lunged in a stabbing motion. Now he did his own stab, placing his plasma blade through the skull of the beast that had made a small mistake: never attack someone when they are down, karma always allowed them to recover.

Sliding to a halt, Zander paused long enough to peek his head from the path, glancing East then West. With relief he noticed that though there were a few Technobeast nearby, none were close enough to require a Force Cloak - which he would likely not be able to hold up long enough to be of use. Creeping from his hiding point, low to the ground in a deep crouch, Zander neared the Altar he had reached before. There still in the center was a Cube that emanated glowing energy...
But then a sound echoed nearby...
Two Techno's were heading his way; though it would seem they had not seen him just yet.
Scratching at his stump, Zander slunk lower to the ground, using the Altar now to stay hidden, sending into the Force a plea to [member="Vulpesen"], "Sir, if you are finished I could really use some aid!!" Though the words would travel to the man, he had said them barely more then a whisper, in the hopes that the beasts nearing would not hear him.

Leaping into the air, Damien stepped off a shoulder that neared, pushing himself higher into the air until he soared at least 20 feet. Scanning the surrounding area, the Ancient Sith stared around for a long moment, calculating what his options were. There were quite a lot of enemies in his immediate vicinity, while also, more neared, driven by the sounds of battle. He came to a quick conclusion...
Putting away his saber, Damien used a Force Push to send himself higher into the air with a spiral moving his body swiftly. Getting slightly dizzy from the spin, Damien finally flipped his body until he was upside down, spun his legs out then brought them together, heightening the speed at which he began to plummet. Then he closed his eyes, braced his head, and held both arms above him as he neared the ground...
Next came a powerful cry, one that shook the tunnels,
"AAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
He roared as he neared the ground, exploding the rock as he unleashed a torrent of energy in the form of an Explosion and a Scream at the same moment, blasting the nearest enemies away with a devastating flurry.

Waiting for at least 3 breaths, each held until the limit before exhaling; Zander heard the thuds and puffs as the bodies neared then passed, none actually coming to the side he currently hid against. Releasing the final breath he had been holding, Zander reached a hand over the lip of the Altar, grabbed the Holocron and brought it down to his side...
It was not until that moment that Zander realized how truly frakked he was; if he had to carry the Holo, how could he battle? His body was spent, he had lost an arm and weakened his reserves. Yes he was attempting to vacuum at the Force, until he had enough energy to do something useful, but that wouldnt be for a time still...
Calling out once more, he muttered, "[member="Vulpesen"], I really will need help. I have a package, but cant do anything to protect myself. I am going to attempt to find another escape route, but am wounded and likely wont make it. Please help..." He could not believe how he had lowered himself, but still it was necessary and something he found easier to do in this life than the last.

With all this talk of death looming around the corner for either of us I could almost mistake the two of us as friends. Though strictly speaking we were very much on a professional level which was good.
“Andra never really took me on adventures like this, no. A few odds and ends with the military and errands for her and that maniac she’s in love with. You know, the usual assistant stuff.”
The rock underneath my feet loosened up and I nearly fell as the rubble wanted to bring me with it as it fell towards the ground. I let out a panicked grunt as I clinged to the rock wall trying not to fall over.
I recovered my balance and took a few deep breaths to refocus.
“Alright, we’re all good.” I took a final deep breath and followed [member="Lucien Cordel"] once again. “No, we mostly dealt with official business. Which in a sense felt odd considering she used to have her robot for that. A pity-hire, perhaps? I don’t know.”

Lucien nodded "yes mikhail can be ... Intense " he said in reply ending the conversation there , mikhail was much like the devil in that he always appeared at the worst time and subtly was the name of the game here.
Lucien turned in shock as he heard the rock tumble down the wall. He thought he had lost another assistant ... He hadn't this time, which was good. Lucien didn't know how he would survive without an assistant, who would handle his apointments or organise his dry cleaning. The moment of panic over the potential losses almost gave him a heart attack.
"Don't scare me like that again" he said annoyance more than concern present in his voice. Major panic over lucien indicated for them to press on , thoughts of the tea and biscuits he knew would be awaiting him . The path widened somewhat allowing him to stop standing side on. They were a few feet from the pit floor he would survive the jump unscathed. Ellias Prehaps less so.
"Cover me and continue down, I suppose I aught to get stuck in" then he stepped from the path to plummet to the pit floor saber in hand

Aw, he did care after all. Hopefully that is. A grin grew on me as [member="Lucien Cordel"] turned away to continue on ahead. My heart still racing from the near-death encounter I could feel the palms of my hands watering up. Oh yeah things were looking great and the adrenaline was still pumping wild.
At least until…
“Oh great.”
The path had widened and in it’s place a drop came our way. A few feet but clearly enough to cause potential harm to myself should I mess something up. My lord jumped down into the pit and much like instructed I stayed up top for a bit to make sure the coast was clear.
It was, if you didn’t mind the few technobeasts down in the pit itself but they wouldn’t be getting in our way as long as we exercised caution. A moments hesitation passed me by before I too decided to drop down. I sat on the ledge and counted my blessings. A deep breath and pushed off.
‘Believe in the landing. Roll Elias, roll!’
Much like I had expected I botched the landing somewhat. At least I managed to roll around in a smoother recovery than expected but. Still, I don’t think my kneecaps were any happier that we had just dropped down a few good feet only for them to receive the brunt of the force.
A grunt of pain later and I could pretend I was good to go. “I’m fine, forget it. Let’s just find that damn holocron.”

Lucien landed with the appearance of elegance he insisted on. The force was a big help in this endeavour , allowing him to land softly and intact . The beasts had yet to see them , they were much to focused on the battle above or inside. That said appearances can be deceiving so the beasts appearance of distraction didn't fill him with confidence.
He turned after landing to watch @Elias Trunden. The moments passed and all seemed well then Eli whent to jump down his face the picture of concentration. It seemed Elias was no acrobat and lucien couldn't help but chuckle as he came down like a Stone. Elias seemed to be in pain and Lucien felt a little cruel ,so covering his laugh with a cough he went to help Elias up.
"Let's get that holocron indeed then we can return you to your desk before the outside world kills you eh"
A sickening grinding pervaded the air. They had been detected. Lucien adopted a ready stance , "I trust your still fit enough to fight, if not stay behind me" lucien trusted Eli would not inconvenience him by chickening out.

Ophelia listened to her master, she was trying to find an option, but the options were narrowing. Her eyes looked forward, sensing the dark creatures. The echo going into her mind, "Stop.." She looked at her master as she had to do as he said, which was focusing the force to a specific point of her body. She closed her eyes and focused the force. She imagined it as a river flowing throughout her entire being, going from her soul towards the outer parts of her own being. A river colored with beautiful colors and channeling it through the soles of her. Her knees slowly bent down as she yelled, "Aaah!!" And jumped up.
The sound of the force was being felt and she jumped up against a wall, when she came against the wall. She used force push to increase the distance following her master somewhat.

"A bit busy, but we'll be on our way momentarily." His body started to swirl around the beasts, clearing him some breathing room. Just before he took the first leap to [member="Ophelia"]'s position. "Jump again." Just before she leaped, he pulled his pistol from her hand and pointed down, shooting one of the creature's in the head. "And we should hurry. Someone needs our help." He turned back to the wall, shooting several more as they climbed up the wall with their bladed limbs.

TASK: Escape with Scream Holocron
Zander slowly rose to a crouch once more, the large Holocron held tightly in one hand. Glancing around the edge of the altar, the Elder Mind watched the recently passed Technobeast, turn and begin heading his way, meanwhile a few beasts that seemed to have survived the run after him, came from behind...
To find nothing.
Moving with what he had left, his physical strength, Zander bounced onto the heels of his feet, and flipped onto the altar before leaping upward. Hurtling the Holo up onto the lip of the rockface with what little energy he had gathered, the man then had a bare minute to grip the Amphistaff that was at his waist; the pole went rigid until it sunk deep into the rock.
From there he began to slowly climb, moving his feet to grab foot holds, while lifting with the strength that shone through of a healthy physique. In an agonizing slow pace, Zander climbed.

Reaching out with the Force, Damien sensed a moment of pain nearby, and then noticed that many of the Technobeasts around him seemed to pause, as if being told something all at once - instantly he recognized a hive mind mentality, as well that there were some now moving towards that group. Calling into the Force, Damien warned them, "[member="Lucien Cordel"], watch out, you have quite a few coming your way. But if you are heading for the shrine at the center, we will end up intercepting and be able to engage together."
But then he was jerked back into his own reality, raising his saber in a defensive block, Damien spun a three sixty maneuver until he was again facing the back of an opponent. A quick circular slash hacked the beasts arms and legs from the body, before a Push launched it into the air. Reaching out telekinetically, Damien grabbed the arm that held the largest blade, gripped it like a vice, and whirled it around the immediate area - the result being several behedded bodies and others with lost limbs.
Imbedding the blade into the torso of one final, he released his hold. Then he began his slow march once more.

Task: Making way for the Holocron’s shrine.
“Ready and able.” I walked the remaining pain off in a determined stride towards the shrine. Technobeasts be damned I just wanted to get out of there and leave. It was an act of anger and hate. This place was horrible, I wanted nothing more to do with it.
My trusty blaster took aim at the beasts. Lucien had said hold your breath and the rest had been figured out quite nicely by myself. Loosen your arms, don’t tense up and remain calm. Shot for shot I wanted to clear a damn path to the moronic shrine to get out of this godsforsaken hellhole. The gas canister ran out and I withdrew the small dagger once again.
It was like jamming a pen down a man’s arm. Just make sure you hit it right and the blade should come out quite nicely again. I didn’t really pay much attention to what [member="Lucien Cordel"] was doing. Without doubt he was doing well.
The shrine was approached and yet there was no holocron to be seen. A small square plate could be seen. No doubt a container for the holocron itself. Next to it was a hole. A quick peek inside would reveal a lever but for a moment I hesitated to do anything.
“What do we do? Pull the lever?” The question shot out at my lord.

It was like jamming a pen down a man’s arm. Just make sure you hit it right and the blade should come out quite nicely again. I didn’t really pay much attention to what [member="Lucien Cordel"] was doing. Without doubt he was doing well.
The shrine was approached and yet there was no holocron to be seen. A small square plate could be seen. No doubt a container for the holocron itself. Next to it was a hole. A quick peek inside would reveal a lever but for a moment I hesitated to do anything.
“What do we do? Pull the lever?” The question shot out at my lord.
