It happened between heartbeats. In an explosion of sand and silt, a molted gray pillar of flesh erupted nine feet into the air! A wickedly hooked barb nine inches long coiled down from the tail of the creature beneath the sand. With the speed of a cobra, it struck, driving a bloody puncture into Terimak's Shoulder.

The wound flashed hot with pain, then went quickly cold...

At the Camp

Nesa looked up curiously at the young noble as he started away from the camp sight, towards Myth Mordered. “Where are you going, Kesker?” She inquired. “No one should go anywhere alone.”

Watching the “shooting star” it quickly became evident to Kesjer that it was landing many, many miles distant. Indeed, as it disappeared over the horizon, Kesjer felt the 4 presences vanish into the Darkness that clung to Myth Mordred.

Oh, and there were two pony-sized, rat like creatures with patchy fur and bony ridges about 6 meters to his left, making ready to pounce.

A sudden gasp from Nala indicated that the crimson girl had seen them as well. (Truth be told, she'd only seen one of them.) Tagn's senses proved similarly acute, catching sight of the less well hidden beast but missing the better hidden one.

Initiative
29 Nala
26 Tagn
16 Womp Rat 1
5 Kesjer
4 Womp Rat 2

Nala's little red hands snapped out to snag her blaster rifle. The togrtua girl smoothly shouldered the weapon. Coming to her feet, she spun to get a bead on the nearest creature and squeeze off a burning bolt of sapphire plasma.

The creature gave a pained shriek as she shot it in the flank. It's right fore-paw convulsed and cramped as it's muscled cooked.

Womp Rat 2 takes 15 damage and 1 condition.
Tag Tagn!
 
21 Womp Rat 1
20 Womp Rat 2
10 Tiffany
6 Takani

The two rodent's—each clearly massing at least as much as Takani, maybe more—surged towards the two young girls sholder to shoulder.

The first leaped at Takani. It's fangs bloodied her shoulder before closing in her robe and ripping back and down as it dropped to all fours.

The second went for Tiffany, but—even half-paralyzed by the sudden fury of the womp rat onslaught—the twi'lek girl managed to dart clear of the snapping fangs.

Takani suffers 6 damage and a badly torn top!
 
It all happened so quick, fortunately they were not cught by surprise still the rats were quicker and took a bite on Takani. Still freaked out but taking her heavy blaster out of her holster Tiffany simply shot in front of her hoping the creature would either die or retreat injured.

Attack: 19; Damage: 17
 
Rushing forward a short distance he shoots the previously injured rat and placing himself between Nala and further attack from the ambush. Cursing himself for not being able to see more of them he knows womp rats attack at least in pairs.

"Nala stay between and behind me and Kesjer!"

1D20+4 => 19
3D6 => 13
 
At Camp

Unable to dodge with it's shoulder fried, the obvious creature took a blaster bolt straight to the head. It collapsed to the ground with a sizzling sound and flames in it's eye sockets.

Tagn correctly guessed that the predator had not been alone, but didn't quite manage to anticipate where the other would strike from. Before he could fully react, the hidden womp rat exploded out of the brush and sank it's fangs hard into his hip—even managing to pierce his combat jumpsuit a little to draw blood as well as bruise.

Critical hit—and a good damage roll. Tagn takes 14 damage.
Tag Kesjer
 
Takani's oponent dropped into a croch as the zabrak girl fired, but she still drew a scorched line all along the top of it's back. Four ear's flattered and the womp rat hissed in agony.

Womp rat 2 takes 17 damage and moves one step down the condition track.
 
Seeing that one teammate had already been injured, Kesjer opted for a tactical gamble. Raising his blaster pistol, he focused intently as he fired off a shot.

OOC: Attack roll of 17, 13 damage. Rat moves 1 step down the condition track.
 
Eli staggered back and covered her face when the gigantic worm erupted from the dust. Once she saw it attack another Padawan though, she lit up one golden blade and rushed in to slash the creature's body.
(Lightsaber attack, rolled 12)
 
Takani wince painfully as the womb rat tear through her top and as she felt it's sharp teeth sink into her virgin flesh. It wasn't the first time Takani felt pain as she fight other creature before but that was a nasty critter they were facing and they are not was she looking for so the only thing to do with those vermin is to kill them.

Takani took out her blaster pistol as the rat was to close for her rifles and she shoot it down.

Attack : 1D20+4 => 20 Damage : 3D4 => 10 + stun
 
Ralra stood back and protected the girls in case the first attack went for them, Noticing the worm had gone straight for Termark made thing a little easier since they could take a little more damage., before Ralra ignited his lightsaber and charged at the work jumping up and aim for the creatures head.
(OCC: Rolled a 18, How much damage is that?)
 
Padawans at Myth Mordred

The powerful wookie burned a deep gash into the mosnter's side and it quivered in pain.

Ralra deals 16 damage.

NPCing Terimak 'til he can get back online or we get to where he doesn't have to reference his sheet, and Asuarah, too.

A blade of emerald light pulsed to life in Terimak's hands. The blind padawan held it in a defensive position and reached out towards the monster's mind with the Froce, trying to crush it's will directly into unconsciousness—or at least daze it enough to give his friends an edge.

At first, at least, it was difficult to get a grip on the creature's alien mind.

Use the Force Check 9 to activate Force Stun

Kree swung around too witness the great creature lifting into the air. Her light blue light saber ignited as well. The human girl had nowhere near Ralra's psychical might to back up her skill with the light saber, but she had other gifts.

Focusing on the space the creature occupied, Kree coaxed the air around it too speed, molecules vibrating faster and faster...

Wisps of red hot flame began to funnel out of the air and around the silt worm, scorching at it's skin.

Kree deals 7 damage wtih Combustion...
Well, we're young still!
 
Padawans

The badly injured silt worm writhed for a moment, then wriggled back into the ground, letting the loose, dry earth swallow it up.

Their problems weren't over, though. Terimak could feel the wound still burning and pulsing. Was that stinger envenomed?
 
At the river.

Womp Rat 1 17/-1
Womp Rat 2 10/-2

Both of the Womp Rats gave pained hisses. TAkani's target seemed particularly weakend, but they were too hungry and too vicious to concede the meal.

They circled the girls in oposite directions. Takani's foe abruptly snapped at her ankle, but the little zabrak managed to jerk her ankle clear of the unsteady snap.

The other monster leaped up, going for Tiffany's throat. The twilek managed to toss it past her.
 
At Camp

Nala winced in sympathy as she spun to see the doctor's bloody hip.

"Hold still!" she gasped, getting a bead on the Womp Rat and burning a hole in the allready injured thing's side with cool blue plasma.

For a moment, she made herself listen quietly, then nodded, "I don't think there's any more. The night-fiddlers are chirping again." Indeed, the bugs around them had relaxed and resumed their nightly calls.

"Do you need any help, Tagn?" she inquired, then, "Kesjer, can you get on your com and check on the other girls?"
 
Tiffany scream at the attack of the rat but fortunately managed to dodge it bite. The burned skin smell was awful but its wound didn't stop her or made it retreat, not just yet. Hoping it just would die on this next shot she pulled the trigger once again.

Attack: 15 (hope that's enough)
Damage: 17

"Diiiiieeeee!!! filthy rat"
 
Eli waited for Ralra to attack and was rearing up for another strike before the sand worm retreated into the dry earth. Once it did and the Human girl asked about injuries, the Zeltron shut off her weapon and ran over to the Miralukan boy.
"I saw that thing tag your arm, how does it feel?" She reached her hand out to touch the rip in his clothes to see how bad it was.
 
Terimak was mentally cursing himself. First he allowed that worm to get the jump on him, and then he failed to grip the creature's mind. He was a miralukan for crying out loud! If anyone was skilled in the force, it should be him. His shoulder throbbed painfully, possibly due to some sort of venom. The Zeltron girl approached him, wanting to help him. Terimak resisted the urge to scowl. Ever since he came to the temple, people had been 'helping' him and taking pity on him. It only motivated him to work harder, which made failures like this worse. "I'm alright," he said, though not resisting her probing, "Go help the others."
 
Takani was a little upset that this damn rat hurt her and mostly that he scrap her clothes. Out here in the field it will be hard to replace it. She took her blaster pistol and shoot that damn rat.

Attack : 1D20+4 => (14 + 4) = 18
Damage : 3D4 => (4 +2 +4) = 10
 
"Don't be silly, nobody else was hit," She brushed away his protests as she pressed lightly down on the top of his shoulder. "Here, sit down and take off your shirt so we can make sure that you're really okay."

Eli had always thought that boys tried too hard to be tough, especially around females, even among the Jedi. Ego was not important to her, however, and she would not let her new friend fall to hubris. Or anything else if she could help it. She had seen too many friends die already.

"Wait a second, i just realized i didn't catch your name. I know Ralra and I think you're Kree, right?" She pointed to the others before turning bashfully to the blind boy again. She proffered her hand, then went ahead and grasped his forearm in a freindly way since she didn't know how much he could see through the Force. My name's Eli, Eli Finch. I've been training to be a Shadow under Master Roran Seth." She felt a pang of sorrow at hearing her master's name from her own lips but tried not to let too much of it out to the others. She didn't want to focus on the negative just now.
 
Ralra was silent as he watched the creature flee before he sighed and then used the force to build a few things before he said <Well that was quite an eventful start to our journey, but I think we did good for our first battle>. He then handed Eli some of the healing sap from the trees of his home plant as he said to her <Don't waste your healing power on something that can be fixed, use this to heal his wound>
 
As Eli introduced herself, offering her hand before gripping his forearm, Terimak resisted the urge to scowl again. He recognised that gesture, someone believing him to be some poor blind kid and thinking they were being insensative. Had noone seen a Miralukan before? He could see just fine. "Terimak," he replied, his voice flat, a trace of bitterness slipping in. At her instructions, he slipped off his coat, exposing the wounded shoulder. At least the wookie didn't seem to be coddling him.
 
"Terimak, nice to meet you. Well, except for the circumstances of course, er, you know what i mean..."
She took the little vial of some viscous liquid that the wookee offered and sniffed it a bit. "This certainly smells like a healing salve," she said with her nose crinckled up from the potent natural aroma. She then leaned her face close to Terimak's shoulder as she examined the sting. She used a finger and thumb to feel around the wound and squeeze a little to force any vile foreign fluids out before dripping some of the wierd sap onto a finger which she dabbed all over the wound. As she did all this she asked, "So, Terimak, what exactly is it that you do, what's your path? Why were you at the temple that day?" She hoped that talking would distract his mind from any pain he was in.
