Log:JEDI ORDER: For Chewbacca (For Peter Mayhew)
For Chewbacca (For Peter Mayhew)
OOC Date: November 6, 2015 (Optional)
Location: Hoth System
Participants: Rey, Zandra naMuriel, Yuun, Aryn Cole
19:36:23 Rey
The Millennium Falcon propelled through the Hoth System's outer edges, to where the massive stream of asteroids fly wildly about an old broken planet and beyond. Whilst inside the cockpit, Rey's eyes sweep over to Chewbacca beside her on her right. "You and... Han, flew into that thing?" She asked the Wookiee who huffed out a response, filled with confidence at her, then he glanced over to her a second later to say a little more.
Rey's eyes looked forward again as they grow ever closer to the dense rocky field. "Your brazen disregard for the quite clear and present dangers of this... provide comfort, and chills." She says in response to her Wookiee copilot who just there-after laughs just a little to the young woman, a series of little huffing sounds.
As they draw closer to the asteroids, Rey looks back to the others with her. "Do either of you have any turret experience? Incase we need to blast some of them spiraling our way?"
19:48:31 Aryn Cole
"I've never even looked at a turret, Rey." Replies the young Doctor looking over the computer and navigational controls. The constant beeping noise she hears in proximity alerts, and they make the young woman anxious. Aryn's bright blonde hair is tied back, but strands are beginning to come loose accentuating the slightly stressful look on her face. "I can try to run a proximity tracking program to map out ideal trajectories, but.. with everything changing so rapidly.. it works better if the pilot just feels where they need to go. It's more.. proactive instead of reactive.." There's a hint of nervousness in her voice, and no hiding the fact her nerves were on end.
19:53:35 Rey
Rey is once more looking forward as they draw closer to the edge of the asteroids. Chewbacca had spoken again, but this time Rey was the one who released a light hearted chuckle at her co-pilot's words. "This is the easy route?" She questions. "Splendid." She says further as she reaches out to deactivate that hazard alarm that is making her nervous as well! A flip of a switch and its shut off.
"If you're up for it Zandra." Rey says. "This would be a nice, as they say... live fire exercise?" She glances back with a grin before she nods toward Aryn. "The navi-coputer is behind me, if you can get it started on a course that it could potentially find amongst all of this... it'd be wonderful." She flashes a grin to both of her fellow Jedi Order members and then looks forward once more as the first massive spinning rock flies past the Falcon.
"Here we go then." Rey says. "Make sure the deflectors are full forward." She tells Chewbacca who'd already done that a few seconds prior to her saying it.
20:04:20 Aryn Cole
"On it." Aryn could be useful at times. From the nav-comp, Aryn began to tap away at the screen until a holo-image was projected in front of them. Adjusting it by spinning and flipping it, Aryn quickly began to map out possible routes, honing in on one specific point indicated by their smuggler Wookie. "You have your map, Rey.. and I've compensated for asteroid shifting patterns. It isn't my best work, but it gives you a route to fly.." Aryn sounds somewhat confident, but her eyes do not veer away from the holo images.
20:05:41 Zandra naMuriel
Zan moves to the controls for the turret, just about as nervous as the other two women. However, she pauses to center herself, reaching for the force automatically by now, and concentrating on that bubble that hopefully will help her to be fast enough and precise enough to manage to shoot something. There's at least a calm about her once she centers, the nerves sliding off. As the Falcon moves in, under Rey's piloting and Aryn's guidance, Zan concentrates on the incoming asteroids. The first shot hits - nothing but vacuum, which gets a muttered curse from Zan. But hey, she can fire them - now about that aim! The small bit of humour helps her to relax enough that her next shot blasts a small asteroid into dust. "Yippee," she calls out. "I can - Wait, I can do this!" And then she zaps another, and another. Alert, attentive, and playing space invaders now. She might raise this skill up because it's fun. sort of.
20:16:50 Rey
When the holographic display comes up, Chewie confirms the destination is on-point with a huff and a grumble, then Rey's eyes flicker over to it as she sees the route to take. "Looks superlative." She notes as the Falcon then nose-adjusts and rockets into the asteroid field on this course. "Thank you, Aryn." She adds as more rocks start to swirl past the ship!
Its a few seconds later that Rey can hear Zandra get onto the comms in the gunwell and she has a slight distracted grin appear on her lips. "Make them remember your name." She says to their newest gunner.
Flashes from the turret's fire light the interior of the Falcon's cockpit up every time that Zandra unleashes another volley of laser fire. Rey can see the hits she scores and the remnants of some of the asteroids she nearly completely vaporizes clatter off of the ship's shields as the YT-freighter zooms down the corridor that Aryn selected!
"Nice shooting up there!" Rey says to their gunner... and together, they navigate through the rocky madness and toward the Planetoid at its core. As they draw closer to it, the asteroids grow less dense as the planetoid's gravity seems to keep them further out in orbit around it, rather than constantly crashing down upon it. The wonders of space!
The Millennium Falcon twirls end over end as it descends to their destination. "There." Rey says as she spots the cavern mouth along the surface of the scarred and barren remains of a world. "Thats it, yeah?" She regards Chewie for a second who huffs a response.
"Splendid." The falcon descends then, it whips around once more to come at the cave on a more direct approach and then slowly sinks into it, with the forward flood lights both snapping on on the front of the freighter's hull.
A few moments later and they're landed, and Rey is standing up to follow Chewbacca who's already on his way out. She stops out in the corridor before the hatch, and starts to tug a rebreather mask on over her face. "We'll need these." She says to Aryn and Zandra, offering them both one, held in either of her hands.
20:23:59 Aryn Cole
There's no sign of pride on Aryn's face, just inherent worry as they dive right into danger. Bravery was a concept she understood in books, but seeing an uncommon virture displayed commonly here made her uneasy and unsure. She trusted the pilots in the cockpit, so maybe it was just doubt in her work.
When they arrived, Aryn could've passed out then and the credits rolled. That was the end of the adventure, right? Wrong. Her hands cradle the rebreather and she looks up slightly confused. "We're going.. out there?" Not staying in place for an answer, Aryn peers out the view port and swallows, then slowly follows Rey out to see what awaits them in the cavern. Force above, don't let this rock collide with another asteroid..
20:26:40 Zandra naMuriel
Zan grins at the praise, pleased to hear it. "Thanks," she says, the pleased note obvious in her voice. "I take it we're exiting now?" She comes down to meet up, and take the rebreather. "Should have brought my old space suit," she comments. "I should start bringing that, just in case. it's ugly as anything, makes me look like a bug, but it is good for space work." She takes the rebreather though, and puts it on.
20:34:57 Yuun Taking one of the offered air breathers, Yuun is already clothed for the weather, though he doesn't know if this will be enough but hey, "Can we get a Tauntaun?" he asks with a goofy grin on his lips. Still he moves to the landing bay doors waiting on the others.
20:40:17 Rey
Once the masks are handed out and Rey has her own firmly in place on and over her nose and mouth she steps over to the controls of the boarding ramp. She looks back to the others and speaks out from behind her mask with a slight grin visible behind the clear plastmold that creates the mask itself.
""We're going out there indeed." She says to Aryn first before she glances to Zandra and Yuun. "On Chewbacca's lead though." She looks to Yuun first. "Tauntaun?" She asks. "Oh, no, no, I don't think the Rebellion was ever at this location, was it?" She asks Chewie as he reappears with a jacket that he forcefully shoves at Rey. She reluctantly takes it and starts to put it on, it may not actually be Hoth... but he still expects it to be cold out there.
A gruff breath and Chewie confirms that the Rebellion was never on this asteroid planetoid...
"Right. Okay." The jacket on over her tan colored robes, the boarding ramp is opened and in rushes the misty moist and noticeably chiller air!
Chewbacca starts down the ramp and disappears out into the darkness, as a strange fog starts to roll up into the Falcon like its alive. "Thats not unsettling at all." The young Rey says while she descends out into the foggy cavern and activates a light to shine about into the darkness.
Once outside, the adventurers will find themselves in a creepy cavern, it is filled with enough living elements that it has a thin atmosphere and there are the sounds of strange creatures in the dark all around them!
20:48:33 Aryn Cole
The sound of life around them is enough to make Aryn's skin crawl. Sure, she shares a healthy fear of most things, but she hasn't run away from anything yet. Her first instinct leads her to switch on her light, a bright high beam of blue light that she hones into a narrow cone shape to provide context and texture to the surroundings they cannot readily see. Her second instinct is to look for plant life. Having a family whose main money making scheme was based around farming and horticulture, made her curious to look. If there was an atmosphere here, then they needed some sort of ecosystem to produce the air they breathed. She ventured slightly from the group, shining her light along the walls and ground.
20:54:04 Zandra naMuriel
Zan shivers briefly, and then she sighs. "I definitely am bringing my space suit next time," she says. She shakes her head, having left it on the Fate. And with the others, she steps off the ramp, eyes widening as she sees where they are. "Stars above," she mumbles, searching for what exactly to say. Her own skin crawling at the sounds, she really wants that sealed in armour suit the ebon guard gave her. She looks around too, little light shining, but she's not really looking for plants, but more for motion. Worried that something might bite, sting, or - otherwise attack.
20:58:45 Yuun
He hopes to find Tauntauns. Still he follows the others off the ship as Chewie heads off. He shivers a little bit as he follows off the ship last, he blinks a few times as he adjust his coat and makes sure that no skin is showing. His gloves are on and his lightsaber is clipped securely to his belt.
21:03:49 Rey
Once outside of the Falcon, its foreward lights still on which helps add some additional light to the interior of the cave along with the personal light beams from those who are now stepping outside of the ship. Chewbacca starts tu unwrap the bundle of belongings he was carrying and reveals them to be metal rods with stands at their base. He huffs out a soft growl and starts to set one down, then another... then another, going around the Falcon.
Meanwhile, Rey is scanning the cavern as well. "Chewie says that there are things in here, things that like to chew on power cables of starships." She explains to those who don't know Shyriiwook. She shiens her light down to the ground then which is covered over in a misty fog. "He says that the beacons he's setting down will make them stay away from the ship, but that we better get beneath it for a moment or two after he activates them."
Rey glances toward the ship as she steps beneath it.
SOMETHING over head can be seen moving in the darkness, wings that flap and a hooting hollar that echoes off of the caves walls. This place is certainly alive, to some numerous degrees.
"What was that?" She asks, first searching for 'it' then for Chewie who's on the opposite side of the Falcon on his path around it, setting the beacons down.
21:07:02 Zandra naMuriel
Zan does not need to be asked twice, she moves beneath the ship alongside Rey. She does speak Shyriiwook - or well, she understands it at least. She looks to Chewie and back to Rey, and then she just takes a breath, trying to decide if maybe she should get back on the ship and go hide with the porgs.
21:15:50 Aryn Cole
Hearing Rey convey what Chewie said, Aryn lingers only for a second longer before instinctively ducking down and making an EEEK noise that resulted in her tip-toed escape pattern back to the others. If Chewie had been right there, she'd have clung to him. "I don't know, but someone start shooting something. Ugh, I can't stand creepy creatures I can't see.." She's shaking her arms out like crazy, brushing them off.
21:19:22 Yuun
Hearing that there is something creepy coming, he quirks a brow and moves towards the front. He doesn't have his lightsaber out, "Are we able to skirt around the danger coming or do we have to go full frontal?" he asks as he looks to Rey, he doesn't speak Shiirwook, "I need to learn from Chewie how to speak Shirrwook." he says.
21:32:29 Rey
Rey watches Aryn's complete and utter distaste for this location and she can't quite blame her, but after crawling around inside the rotting bones of Imperial and Rebellion starships, this... feels similar, if a bit more overgrown with natural wonders that she has no concept or clue as to the true nature or threat of--she's not exactly that experienced with nature of this variety after all.
"Zandra, there's more jackets onboard if you need one." She tells the other who seems to be a little chilled by the cold air of this deep cavern inside the asteroid planet. She looks to Yuun then and she shakes her head. "I hope no--"
A split second later and the danger present in the cave tickles the backs of all the Jedi trainee's necks. They can each feel that forboding sense of something coming and where its coming from!
Suddenly from above the Falcon, two winged Mynocks leap out, their brown and black wings fluttering through the air, their strange and alien faces spreading far apart as they lunge toward Zandra and Yuun!
21:45:27 Yuun Yuun spins around as the Mynocks leap from above the Falcon, at the same time the snap hiss of his lightsaber is heard and the brilliant blue light springs from the hilt. Yuun moves in fluidly and swings cutting the Mynock in two. He quickly looks for others.
21:47:12 Zandra naMuriel
Zan ducks as that sense of impending doom raises her hackles. She pulls the stunsaber she has out. At the least she doesn't stun herself, but she surely does not hit the mynock that is attacking her. Somehow in her swing, she manages to get out of the way of its attack, turning to try again. "Oh, not again! I just got better from getting shot," she grouches.
21:49:44 Aryn Cole
Aryn has her knife out, trying everything she can to swing at the shadows above. They fly out of reach though, leaving Aryn separated from the others briefly. She slides her knife back and runs to hide, getting caught up with one mynock briefly before shoving it away. Just as she reached the ramp, the brilliant blue of a lightsaber came to life and literally lopped one of the shadowed figures in half! The bright light mesmerized Aryn, and she stared from her hiding place.
21:55:00 Rey
The sizzle of the Mynock that Yuun slices into two halves drops to the foggy cavern floor and sputters its last breath moments before the other Mynock is grabbed out of the air after Aryn and Zandra duck from cover, Zandra narrowly avoids damage from the creature's attack... and then its seized up, scrunched up and its internal skeletal system is crushed.
Rey stands near to the landing ramp and she holds her hand out, a look of concern for her friends on her face. She breathes out, and the creature drops out of the sky as her hand falls to her side. "Those... are not nice things." She eloquently says.
"Raaaaawwrrlrawlrawlrawl!" Chewbacca appears, with all of his beacons set he unslungs his bowcaster and walks to the one beside Rey. He reaches down to activate it and suddenly they all glow brightly blue, surrounding the Falcon!
This has a reaction, the cave comes to life, creatures start crawling up the cavern walls in all directions! The walls become alive with movement, Mynocks and other 'things' that are all fleeing for the cavern's main mouth that the Falcon flew in from, as well mas many other holes and vrevices along the walls.
Rey, looks up at this display, her fleshlight shooting around. All she can say to it is simply. "Goodness..."
21:59:15 Zandra naMuriel
Zan keeps her stunsaber out now, just on principle. She gives Chewbacca a frown, and then she says, "Hey, at least we distracted them from the big guy while he was setting up the repellers?" Brightly. With a sweet smile. She shivers though as she spies the critters going everywhere but near the Falcon. "Good grief, how is there enough environment here for all that?"
22:08:20 Yuun
With the Mynocks down, he smiles a little bit and turns to look at Aren and Zan, "You two did great." he says and he smiles to Rey. He than feels a disturbance and looks up, "I have a bad feeling about this." he says as he doesn't step backwards but more in front of the others.
22:12:50 Rey
Chewbacca steps away from the young Jedi, his bowcaster is in his hands now as he starts away from the Falcon, he goes on a tirade of hoots, growls, hollars and other noises. Rey turns to look at him, then to her companions. "He says 'this way'." She summs up in way less words than the Wookiee likely used, Zandra would know that Rey was saving them from Chewie explaining how there'd be more creatures ahead though...
Chewie heads on toward a dark cavern mouth that looks like a creepy tree trunk's base with a split down its middle, just large enough for the Wookiee to bow his head and step inside of.
Rey moves after him next, but she doesn't have to duck. Her light is still on, but her lightsaber has yet to make an appearance, though anyone who knows where she keeps it would know its likely behind the satchel on her hip, beneath that jacket that Chewie made her wear like a protectice parent.
--
Once into the cavern tunnel, the group will find themselves surrounded by moss-like growth on all the walls, its slippery under foot too, and more fog is rolling across the ground. There's the echos of more creatures fleeing from the beacons around the Falcon, but things are getting quieter.
Rey reaches up to adjust her mask on her face as she continues to walk behind the Wookiee. "There's a junction up ahead." She announces to everyone as they grow closer to it.
22:16:47 Zandra naMuriel
Oh, this is downright icky already. Poor shipborn girl. Zan is busy fighting to stay on her feet with the slippery ground and really not aware of which way is up even. "We should tie a rope or something, so we can get back out," she observes with a slight frown. "I am going to need a list of things to bring, I think, if we try anything like this again."
22:20:56 Aryn Cole
Getting Aryn to follow was one thing, but keeping her rooted was the other. She didn't care for the mynocks, this creepy fog, the icky humid feeling, or how all the walls seemed to move at once when the beacons came on. Now they were navigating the cavern and going /deeper/ into this place. Aryn does the only thing she knows to do when her senses are overloaded and she feels her calm slipping away. She finds her center and touches the force. The moment she does, her perception of their surroundings begin to meld with her own senses, attuning her to the life around them. An expression that once held fear has mellowed to a neutral look and she steps up beside Rey and Chewie. "If we move down the left path, it is longer but not nearly as many creatures or obstacles. Her gaze is distant for a moment, but when she blinks, she's looking up at everyone else.
22:21:59 Yuun
Focusing at this time, allowing a calming breath blow from him. Using the force to help him find the best path, "We go down the left cavern." he calls and points for the others to go. "Yeah, I was about to say that, thanks Aryn." he smiles to the new Initate. "We need to move quickly or else be overrun." he says as he begins moving back towards that left cavern.
22:29:36 Rey
"I didn't bring a rope." Rey says with disappointment in her voice. She knows that Zandra is right though. "I think we'll be fine, but if you can count the turns we take and which direction each one is, we should be able to reverse that on our way out..." Its a shaky solution, but its a sound option for an otherwise stranded situation possibility. Or so she hoped.
"Chewie." Rey says up to her friend. He questions back at her. "What precisely are we here for anyway?" The Wookiee continues to walk ahead of them, his bowcaster pointed ahead of him. He responds with more Shyriiwook singing and Rey draws in a heavy breath through her mask and glances back at the others. "He says its 'very important stuff'." She says, not sounding satisfied entirely with that answer herself!
"Left tunnel." She says to Chewie as he makes for the right one, not having heard the other two Jedi? He stops then and motions for them to take the left, he'll go right. He growls a bit more out and then turns and starts down the right tunnel. Rey looks back to them. "He says he wants to make sure we don't leave anything unchecked... says the tunnels meet back up eventually anyway..." She turns to watch the big Wookiee venture further into that darker and 'scarier' tunnel. "I guess he... lives for this sort've thing."
With that said, Rey motions them to keep going and to take the Left tunnel...
Its here that the Jedi start to travel for several minutes, they walk through a tunnel that is still covered in filth and disgusting 'left overs' from creatures that seem as though they may not be that far away, everything feels grossly 'fresh'.
After about ten minutes of walking and trudging along, the Jedi emerge on a massive cavern filled with stalagmites on the floor and stalactites hanging from the ceciling of the cavern, over a hundred feet up... and even more curiously, in the center of the cavern is a river of black water... flowing from left to right, its about least 30 feet wide.
"We'll... have to cross that." Rey says. "Hopefully its not deep..." She starts to walk to the water's edge.
22:37:22 Aryn Cole
"Ugh.. lovely." Mystery water.. and they have to wade across. Aryn follows after Rey, doing her best to keep her grumbles to herself while she tries to imagine that there's nothing alive beneath the dark surface of this stream. Nope. Nothing. At. All.
22:39:22 Zandra naMuriel
Zan walks along, slipping here and there, but at least managing to not fall. Thankfully. She glances around the cavern, and her gaze centers on that river of black water, as Rey says... "Can't we just stay here and let Chewbacca join us?" she asks hopefully. Okay, Rey said they have to cross it, but isn't that an option? "Because we're going to have to cross it twice." Ick. She takes a breath, and tries to touch the force, worried that there might be something dangerous hiding here. Of course there is, there's all kinds of dangerous things, and it really doesn't help much. "I don't know how to swim," she puts in, as a thought occurs to her. Useless, definitely.
22:49:35 Yuun
Stopping as they lose track of Chewie. He looks to the other for a moment, "We should go after him, I think this path will lead us to where he's going, we may have to just move a bit quicker." eh says as eh looks to everyone. "Unless we want to wait here."
22:50:24 Rey
Rey doesn't hesitate, she can't, she could try to jump over it with the assistance of the Force at her command... but... the others might not have that option-she might not even herself. Its best to test and see.
Her leather boots go up to her knees, so there's that much protection at least. She starts to step off of the damp ground beside the flowing black river and she strides out into it, a little deeper each step. It goes up to the middle of her leather boots now as she speaks up from behind her mask.
"Its not that deep, I think." She says as she glances back to them. She shines her light down into the water but all she sees is her own reflection...
Now, Rey is about halfway out into the river and the water is teetering on going up over her boots to dampen the legs of her pants. "We should be fine, it seems." She tells those others with her. She turns to start to walk the rest of the way across...
22:56:19 Aryn Cole
Aryn has made it half way across the water way when she has an innate sense of being watched. Cautious eyes are directed up, where she shines her light, then to her sides, before a sudden rush of fear makes her want to cross much more quickly.This feeling passes however, and Aryn keeps her same pace just incase it gets deeper and more dangerous.
22:59:19 Zandra naMuriel
Zan heads to the water as the others go. "We stick together," she says. And since Rey and Aryn go into the water, Zan also heads in. Though as she does, she sort of pauses, one foot in the air. Now she's looking around, her stun saber up in a defensive position. "Something's coming," she says, softly, urgently, trying to be heard by just her group.
23:04:57 Yuun
Sensing something coming up quickly, "Rey move!' he calls as he quickly lunges towards the area he feels where the creature is. His lightsaber spins about him as he drives the blade tip down towards where the creature is, but he grimaces before he strikes as he sees the creature move away. "Sithspit!" he says.
23:08:37 Zandra naMuriel
Tentacles! Zan ducks and swings her stunsaber missing entirely badly. She actually ends up drenched, as she does a roll and comes up. Probably that stun saber won't work for a bit. Sizzlepop. Zan's eyes widen, but at least she doesn't get electrocuted. "This does not look good."
23:08:37 Aryn Cole Chock it up to fear, but that was typically when Aryn did her best.. or worst .. work. When there was movement, and Yuun called for Rey to move, Aryn reached out with her mind, influenced by the power of the force, and used her hand to gesture the unseen motions that plucked the tentacle straight out of the water. Words began to emerge from Aryn as she smashed the limb against the nearby wall, demanding that it leave them alone!
23:10:00 Rey
There is seemingly no creatures in the water, none at all, the young Jedi start to look as though it'll be an easy trek across the black river...
But then their unified senses of dangers trigger, and thankfully it gives them an edge that other creatures who come to this water source may not get...
Its not from the water that the tentacles come, no its from above it, from the shadowy crevice above their heads! Many arms reaching down from the darkness, silently slithering their way, uncoiling their way to the river crossers!
Rey senses it just before it happens, just before Yuun's attack and she ducks beneath the tentacle and the lightsaber both! Aryn's blast of telekinetic power helps to send the reaching arm away from the Jedi girl at the front of the party!
But soon... more join in and swipe at all of them! Rey sees them as she turns toward their destination. "Run!" She shouts to her fellows!
23:22:39 Aryn Cole
Trudge, trudge, trudge goes the noble as she fights to get to the otherside. Tentacle arms /somehow/ miss her on two separate occasions, and the latter was rewarded with another display of power that planted it firmly against the wall nearby, crushing it into the stone by some unseen kinetic force. At long last, Aryn has made it to the other side and she falls to a knee, out of breath. "Next... time.. I make.. a suggestion. Let's do.. the opposite.. of that.."
23:24:19 Zandra naMuriel
If Rey says to run, Zan does her best to follow. At least this time she's not injured. She runs, getting across to the other side and turning back to try to help whoever is left. Panting, she tries to get one of those tentacles slammed back, but although she can feel it, taste it (ICK!) she just can't quite make it work. Probably too distracted by that whole taste it concept.
23:28:30 Yuun Yuun begins running, though checking back he sees Aryn not moving fast enough. "Krif, move it Aryn!" he calls out towards her and he slows down enough right now so that she is able to keep up. He sees everyone doing what they can to get out of reach from the creature, he begins backing away quickly now as the others seem to be clear from the monster.
23:33:50 Rey Rey stands at the shore's edge now, the edge they need to be on. She watches the other's rush to her sides, but Aryn is a bit behind and under siege from the monster above them. She quickly unholsters her pistol from her hip and raises it up into the air to fire it off into the darkness! It doesn't seem to cause any effect other than making the cavern glow in red for a brief moment as the blaster bolt zipped up into the air and collides with the cavern ceiling... it did momentarily illuminate the beast up above though and if one was sharp enough to witness it, they would see just a giant mouth of teeth and multiple tongues!
As Aryn make sit to shore, Rey reaches out with one hand to help her. "Come on." She tells the others. "I'd rather go the other way back once we meet up with Chewbacca!" She turns then and starts toward the other side of the cavern, her light comes up again and there's a rocky slope that leads up the cavern's wall toward another corridor entrance.
The tentacle monster, meanwhile continues to flail its limbs around, angered by the lack of snatching up one of the travelers!
--
Now, several more minutes go by for the adventurers, the chill in the air persists, the fog returns in this winding corridor but eventually they come to a room where Chewbacca is, its a room filled with five large crates. The Wookiee has his back to them as he sits on one of them in the dim light of his own flashlight.
23:39:36 Zandra naMuriel
Zan catches her breath, and they keep moving. She is just going through the motions, still jittering over the tentacles. "This place is nasty," she comments, with an obvious shudder. "Going to have to burn this and - wash my hair for a year." And then they're at crates and "Chewbacca! You're okay, right? There's a tentacled thing back there."
23:41:24 Aryn Cole
Aryn takes Rey's offered hand and moves after Yuun tells her to. There is a sense of urgency to get away, and it fills Aryn to the core. She runs ahead a bit then leans up against the cavern wall breathing heavily. "No more tentacles.. "
23:44:10 Rey
As everyone moves to gather inside of the cavern that the cargo containers are located in, they move around Chewbacca. Rey sighs with relief at the sight of him. "You wouldn't believe what just happened to us..."
The Wookiee's bowcaster is sitting beside him resting up against the crate as he's holding a holographic projector in front of him. Rey firstly looked at the containers. "This is it? What is it all?" She glances inside one of them and spies, clothing? Looks like Han's... and there's a yellow jacket with Luke's name on a badge upon the left breast pocket.
The wookiee makes a quiet noise as he stares down at the holoprojector in his lap. Its a projection of him in the middle, with Luke and Han leaning him with their arms/elbows up on his shoulders. Both of them are all smiles and Chewie is growling something.
Beside him in a container are more pictures, similar to what he has, its a collection of them, rare moments from his past. Pictures with Leia, and the others as well. Thats why he had them come out here, the important cargo were memories of his friends, so it would seem.
