Getting Out of Tight Situations- Period 5- Class #9

Today class was going to look a little different. Blame the teacher's brain having very good reason to think back to stories she'd heard growing up. There weren't any big scary monsters around at the moment, as that gate was safely closed, but that would change.

"Welcome to a rancor pit," Jaina greeted them. "For those of you who don't know what a rancor is, you're going to find out in a minute. I'll also add the disclaimer that despite what you're going to see in here, I have a friend who insists they're just fine, and people ride them on one of her homeplanets. You tend not to find those particular rancors in places like this, though. You're going to face off against it one at a time, and you're able to use whatever you can find, whatever you have on you, or any powers you think you can use safely here. You have to either defeat it or get away, and if the rancor's going to win, the simulation will end and that'll be the end of your turn. Good luck."

Ben had heard about this scenario a lot as a kid--it had been one of his favorite bedtime stories (yes, he was odd)--but he felt like it would be cheating to do exactly what his father had done.

Besides, he had no interest at all in getting lifted up by the thing to shove a bone in its mouth and get a big ol' dose of nasty rancor breath.

Sorry, Tenel Ka, they weren't that appealing.

Ben ended up leading the creature on a little chase (a very cramped little chase) before triggering the gate closed with the Force to crunch the rancor's head.

It was weird to think that that hadn't been his father's first instinct. Imagining his father so young that he didn't immediately reach for a solution with the Force was not something Ben was accustomed to doing.
