In the end, the rock gave. The top section shook, dislodging from the base and sliding mercilessly down. The three Imperials busying themselves below never had a chance. The huge mound of stone fell before they even noticed, crushing them beneath its weight.
The collapse attracted the attention of the other troopers, all five rushing to help. It gave them the perfect opening.
"You head for the children" Dash said to Vand, motioning to their makeshift prison. Set them free and send them back in the direction of the village". He gritted his teeth. "I'll go for the weapons, deprive them of what I can, then we can take on what's left".
It sounded like a good plan, but that did not make it so. Nonetheless, he clapped Vand on the shoulder and said a silent prayer to the Force before sliding down the ridge. Reaching the base, Dash grabbed the spare weapons and ammunition and hastily began throwing them into the trees all around. With any luck he could rob the Imperials of most of what they needed before they even noticed he was there.
