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."

Bobby was... trying to convince himself it wouldn't be that bad. He'd fought worse, after all, and this was just a simulation.

. . . yes. Yes, Stephanie did in fact have a very bad feeling about this, because when it came down to her versus a giant monster thing there were identity-compromising issues lurking riiiiiiiiiight around the corner, weren't there?

Maybe she could pass it off as dumb luck and resourcefulness? She wasn't exactly going to be flinging around Batarangs in there or anything.

Ender blinked, and wondered if 'Ben nearly got me eaten by one on Dathomir' wasn't technically a good excuse to skip this exercise. (He'd mind the 'killing the rancor' more than 'getting killed by a rancor' in this scenario, he suspected.)

"Well, this is familiar," Ender said, shooting her a wry look.

He was clearly spending way too much of his time around Skywalkers and Skywalker-derivatives.

Ender had practically all of his instincts screaming at him to use his environment to put an end to the rancor threat once and for all. He ignored them. One, this was a simulation, so even if he did get eaten he'd come out alive; two, if nothing else, this was a good opportunity for creatively thinking around his instincts.

He had no special powers to avoid the creature, but he remembered the one from Dathomir. He managed to distract it for long enough to find a way out, but it got him in the end.

He'd probably spend the rest of the day flashing back to the Giant. Simulations. Most of his nightmares came from simulations.

Cara looked far, far too cheerful at the idea of fighting something big, ugly and dangerous.

It took time, several makeshift weapons, and Cara ended up covered in a disturbing amount of holographic gore, but in the end it was Cara-one, rancor-nil.

Bruce hadn't. But he was thinking that maybe he should start bringing his utility belt to class. It would probably be bad TA form to get expelled for carrying that many weapons into a classroom, though. Oh well.

"I saw one of them up close myself, on Dathomir," Ender said, conversationally. "It doesn't get any less imposing."
