Jedi - you take them!

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

I glance around the cleared room and see that there are no more attackers. I decide it would be best to move to the doorway to the next room and see what we might have to deal with next. I move up next to the mentat and observe him shining his light into the hallway and making notes in his datapad. I glance down to see what he is making notes about and see a LOT of skulls lining the walls of the hallway. Some are humanoid and some are most certainly not. They are not glowing or having any reactions to the lights being shined on them, but I am not sure what to make of a hallway decorated in that fashion. So'Zen and Reese are both obviously looking for traps of some sort so I have Spook do a sensor scan and she discovers that there are power sources that seem to be tied to some plant like fibers in the wall behind the skulls. I figure it is some sort of sensors using the skulls to see if someone enters the hallway.
 
We know that someone has been here before us and have obviously set traps, but the only way to get to them is to go through the traps. I say as much and that gets the mentat to enter the hallway and he shines his light down the hallway after he enters. We can all see some footprints, but they only go halfway down the hallway and then there are no more. So'Zen has a crazy idea about moving the party down the hallway. He jumps across first and then waits for Vanya and Davish to levitate each of us across. I volunteer to go first since I trust Vanya and not even So'Zen would be stupid enough to drop me - mostly because he is more worried about traps than my safety I am sure. For whatever reason, Reece chooses to not use the Jedi system of moving down the hallway and uses some method to swing from the ceiling. Cute maybe, but half way down force walls slam down on the north and south sides trapped the mentat within the hallway as the sides start to collapse in. To make matters more fun, the skulls start firing blasts. I check with Spook to see if she can find the origin of the power source now that we are closer to the end of the tunnel. She indicates that the power source is behind the wall and that there should be an access panel somewhere on the wall close to the end of the skulls. I shout that information to those on the other side about checking for access ports. I start searching on my side and I find one on the southern wall. I decide that I am NOT interested in crawling inside the narrow passage and reach carefully in to where the panel is and punch buttons. Something I do works because the force wall on the north side drops and Reece is able to dodge his way out. Then the other wall drops and, after a few last blasts, the hallway goes back to looking as it did when we walked in.
 
Everyone finishes getting to the center of the hallways where So'Zen and I are and then we start to investigate the next section of the hallway. So'Zen says he is checking the south hallway. Next thing I know we have two shark-like creatures in the hallway and some more spiderbots drop from the ceiling. I drop prone to the floor and fire my plasma blaster at the spider bot to the north. It dodges. Davish thinks he can top my shot and fires at the same creature. It dodges him too! Finally the shark things - which seem to be on our side - take out the two spiderbots and I move up beside Spook to see what she has discovered. She tells me that she is getting a weird scan from the north side. I do a scan myself and I see what she means. It is intermittent like there is a broken wire or a missing connection. To the south, there is a solid power signature. To the east, it appears that the power is being absorbed. I communicate this with the others.
 
Then more spiderbots drop in!! I see one directly in front of me, but I will have to shoot between Vance and Palatine. She is not phazed, but Vance does seem a bit rattled. I zing into the bot and I score a direct hit, but I do not manage to destroy it. Battered, but not broken seems to be the score. Then it goes flying down the hallway with Davish. Davish returns to the group and the force wall slams up (down?) behind him corralling the spiderbot. Since the situation seems to be in control, I go down to the north corner and get prone to peer around to see what there might be. I don't really see anything that looks dangerous, but I decide to do a sensor sweep first to make sure. I find three spiderbots, two combot droids of some kind, a bio-engineered mynock, and two web creatures. I share my sensor data with the team after getting Spook down the hallway to verify my scans. Reese take the opportunity to send a virus into the spiderbots, so they are taken out of the fight.
 
Everyone else wants to head south first so I am happy to leave this corridor for last. As we go down, there is an alcove which just screams problem to me. I have almost convinced everyone to leave when So'Zen walks in. A force screen drops down and he is tasked with riddles. Riddles?!?!?
