Stranger in the Woods [Day 2, EA]

[Meiyokashi]

Ilena's lightsaber falls to the ground as the blaster bolt scorches her back. Screaming in pain, wounded and tired she simply starts sobbing in Mayrelli's arms. Barely able to speak from under the sobs the strong but tired woman holds tight to Mayrelli, begging although her voice chokes up often enough- "Plea-" she chokes on her tears "-lease don't kill me.." sniffling hard she tries to stand but finds herself without the oomph, "I'm scared.. Master I'm so scared.." she says, off into the distance.

------------------------ OOC

Ilena is wounded, stunned to an extent, and no longer has control over her lightsaber. Effectively, she doesn't have enough threat to pose the players to continue the combat and thus this can be resolved narratively without turn order from this point forward.

No on the using quickdraw to grab her lightsaber, but now back in narrative time that shouldn't matter- Forte has Ilena's lightsaber.

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

Mayrelli makes comforting sounds while shooting Forte a thumbs up behind the jedi's back, nice shooting.

"Hey, hey nobody is going to kill you. We're the good guys." She ponders for a moment. "Yup, mostly the good guys. We're just a bit on edge because folks have been poking around and looking to cause trouble, so we thought you might be involved. But I think it might just been wrong place wrong time."

She otherwise does her best to stand and hug/be hugged.
"I'm Mayrelli, that's Forte, he's nice, and that's Cha, they just wanted to goo everyone so we could all have a few moments to calm down."
Cocking her head.
"Hey, umm. Don't take this the wrong way, but you look a little, uh, non-showered. You've been living rough for a wild?"

[Meiyokashi]

Ilena struggles to breathe, sucking in gasps between sobs and cries of pain from her wound. Shaking a little in Mayrelli's arms from the adrenaline in her system wreaking it's havoc. Without any actions to perform her body simply vibrated with the intensity of everything pumping through her veins, the need to run and fight but having nowhere to go and no way to go.

"I- I- I can't let them find me- you find me, hunters.. they always talk about the hunters," she says, her speech broken by her condition.

[Cha Vizsla]

"Well, to be fair, we know a little something about the hunter vs hunted category." Cha chimes in, slowly stepping out with hands open and raised. "And unless you are talking about some unruly townsfolk, I have the feeling that we are being chased by the same people"

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"Yeah, because you're a...well, you know."
Mayrelli does her best to pat the other woman on the back as she fishes around in her pockets for a handkerchief, eventually handing over a white one with red polka dots to hand over.
"So, uh..."
She glances at Cha and Forte with a 'Should we take her back to base?' look.

[Forte Kryze]

At the prompt, he make a hand signal for 'need more info, keep talking'. "These hunters wouldn't happen to have one of these (motions to the lightsaber) in red would they?"

[Meiyokashi]

Ilena grabs the handkerchief like a lifeline which seems to be a insistence that she wasn't even prepared for. Looking a little shocked at it Ilena doesn't quite seem to notice the world around her outside of those little hearts over the material, just a little soft as it was. Holding it tightly in her hand with a vice-like grip she settles a little. Settling, however, brings it's own challenges as a slight shiver works into her bones- coming down from the adrenaline.

Fear, strong an emotion as it can be, dominates her still as she simply repeats variations of "hunters, hunters are going to find me. If you found me, they'll find me. Can't.. can't let them find me," to herself muttered under her breath.

By all means, she didn't seem to recognize anyone else was present anymore. However, any shifting by Mayrelli would find that she was at least pliable to a degree and would follow simple instruction. Though, she would be impossible to convince to go into any closed off spaces where she didn't have the ability to try and run if the worst came of it.

[Cha Vizsla]

Cha looks over at the other two. "Look, I don't think it's a great idea for us to take her back to the others right now. She's shaken up, and if we spooked her, can you imagine all of the others. I know the terrain and survival skills enough that I can set her up in a place in the wilderness that's a bit more isolated, but still comfortable. Then, maybe we can talk about getting some of the head honchos in."

[Forte Kryze]

Cha looks over at the other two. "Look, I don't think it's a great idea for us to take her back to the others right now. She's shaken up, and if we spooked her, can you imagine all of the others.

"I'll trust your lead on this one, just let me know how I can help." He then hands the lightsaber to May, doing his best not to spook either of them as he hands it over pommel facing her.

[Cha Vizsla]

Cha looks back over the May, and then squats down to get lower, less intimidating as he looks to chat with the woman who had a laser sword.

"Look lady, I am not much of a people person. But what I am is good at keeping out of sight, and living on the fat of the land. If you want a spot to hide out that's a bit safer, I can set something up for you, and then we'll go from here. Does that sound alright?"

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"Woah hey, she's suffering. Poor woman has been through a lot, I ain't just gonna leave her in the woods when there's other folk prowling around. Sure we might not be able to take her back to base, but some food, water, a checkup from the doc, maybe even some clothes if we have some spare. That ain't much to ask."

Mayrelli looks at the Jedi with concern.
"We can check with Mandalore what he wants done, but until he makes a decision someone has to have her back. What if those hu-, those people catchup with her?"
She pauses.
"Uhh, if that's okay with you M'am."

[Meiyokashi]

Ilena keeps repeating, muttering, but she doesn't seem to shy away from Mayrelli's closeness.

[Cha Vizsla]

She pauses.
"Uhh, if that's okay with you M'am."

It's impossible to see Cha's face behind his mask, but his head tilts to the side.

"That was my plan. I set her up a camp: a small fire, rations, camouflaged shelter. Does this sound agreeable?"

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"Hmmm, well let's get moving anyway. It's a good start at least. Been a while since I did some camping anyway."
She does her best to sound upbeat.
"It'll be fun, I know all sorts of campfire stories. And I even like beans out of a can."

[Meiyokashi]

[OOC]

Note, I'll leave Ilena mostly in your guys' hands for this scene. As previously noted, she follows most suggestions but is so overcome by fear she just mostly keeps repeating and muttering to herself.
