'Lil was about to speak up, but then stopped, allowing Panther a moment with her ploy.  They certainly had nothing to lose.

While she waited for the droids to respond, she prepared an Area of Effect attack she had gained... Shadow Star Storm... she was eager to try it out and almost hoped that the droids would just attack.

The droids paused as they processed the request and then they said in chorus, Our processing matrix computes that this is a ploy. Access to this area is forbidden. And then a barrage of fire ensues.

As the Droids open up, 'Lil jumps backwards, twisting midair.  At the apex of her jump, she is perpendicular to the ground, toes pointed down, arms across her chest.  She activates the maneuver.

The Avatar freezes in place and shadows swirl around her.  Then, she splits into three, two shadow forms pulling away from her at 45 degrees to her right and left, closer to the ground.  The trio then bring up their right arms in unison across their chests, shuriken materializing.  They hurl the shuriken and in the same movement bring their left arms over, revealing more shuriken.

The trio alternate between arms, throwing a hail of metal slivers.  The attack last for three full seconds, shredding into the Droids

At the conclusion of the maneuver, the shadow forms lose their cohesion and become smoke, drifting away and 'Lil drops to the ground into a crouch.

Dodge Barrage! 4 hits.

Shadow Star Storm (Edged) 11 hits!

The shuriken shred into the droids and the air is filled with the sounds and smells of electrical sparking and the smell of ozone. The device the droids had been aiming disappears as the droid that had been holding it 'dies'. A small pile of energy credits and a power gem drop as the droids disappear and only one is left standing, but it is unscathed. Access to this area is forbidden. You are to be sanctioned. it intones, oblivious to the fate of it's mates.

'Lil gathers the drops with a chuckle.

<<@Panther: Panther, you better do something about that.  I don't think being sanctioned would be pleasant.>>

She moves away and back to the door, looking it over and seeing how best to open it.  She is absolutely certain Panther can handle the remaining Droid.

Panther had dodged the attack, but not fully.  She really hoped that they would stop sending more of those droids, or at least drop a medpack somewhere.  While 'Lil was attacking and drawing their attention, she tried to sneak around and when there was only one drone left, she jumped onto it, starting to dig with her claws in the hope to get it down as quickly as possible.

Once again 'Lil pulled out the multi-tool and studied the lock. In a flash she'd reconfigured the tool to resonate for the old style harmonic lock. She'd almost started to begin running through combo's when she had a flash of inspiration and played the opening music from the game's trailer. Viola! The door popped open.

The droid was facedown as Panther attacked it and it's voice was muffled by the floor as it continued it's familiar litany. Access to this area is forbidden
