Competition: My Team Role

Finished
My Team Role

Specifics

As everyone arrives at the final base, each individual quickly realizes this isn’t a quick rush in alone and set the place ablaze situation. The first few find themselves in quick retreat, and tell the tale to those that arrive after. It’s obvious that each team must work together to tackle the final objective and retrieve the heirloom. Write a short story where the main conflict is the battle itself, and highlight the strengths your character would bring to an assault on a mercenary den, be it slicing, group Force powers or sneaking ahead solo and disarming traps or rushing head on into combat and getting their attention while the rest join you. Highlight that strength and contrast it against what your character doesn’t do well. Dumbfounded by a door control, quickly overwhelmed and ducking for cover when a guy starts shooting, running back if anyone gets close preferring some ranged combat.

Details

In preparation to the assault of the mercenary's den i'm sent in recognition mission. Silent and slowly, I approach from covered area to the outer limits of the base. Dealing with wildlife predators, killing them with stealth from the bushes and hiding from the bigger ones. Using the force i sense the enemies from afar and watch their details. One of them goes out to patrol the forest. I set a trap for him and take his colthes.

Disguised as a member of the band I infiltrate the base to gather intel helped by altering facial features with The Force. I approach to the inside of the base without troubles and try to sabotage the armory and the hangar. I get recognized by a guard, because of my limitation in the use of force powers while trying to slice hangar door, not being able to use a mind trick, I must employ the martial arts learned, swiftly avoiding hits and punching vital areas and joints, and later stabbing them with my vibrodagger. Later while trying to hide the body, a guard from the watch tower sees me. I force cloak in a dark corner to avoid capture from other guards. Awaiting for the right moment to stab and kill. Later escaping quickly before more guard's reinforcements arrive. Safety away I heal my wounds, and try to remember the details observed drawing them in a piece of paper.

Afterwards, the battleteam leaders listen and watch the intel and clues gathered and then we all return to the battle with the rest of the team, trying to avoid being kept on the front lines, attacking and finishing enemies distracted by fellow team members. I also use my knowledge of medicine and healing to support the team in case of need, after removing him from the heat of battle to a safe place.
