Episode IV - 26 Aug 2015

Start Date

Sent to Almas in the Cularian by Nadia in the hopes of retrieving a holocron she believes still lays hidden there. The team finds the planet nearly deserted and being taken over by the phosphorous flora native to the world. Having made their way cautiously through the abandoned city of Forard which surrounds the ruins of the Jedi Academy they overhear an argument at the edge of the city center.

Getting closer, you spot three rotund beings in space suits towering over five aliens that look like rabid canines with blue fur. A member of each group is engaged in a tug of war over what looks like the upper half of a tarnished silver protocol droid.

Alicia G (GM): “Ged your unholy pseudopoda off dis Holy Artifact, Zquib-thing,” the big Ugor says

The little Squib retorts, “From our dead, cold paws, ugly Ugor fiend-being! We did the location finding of this silver-ish, prettisome treasure pre-secondary!”

“It is unfortunate,” the half-droid says, “that Jedi Master Lanius never programmed me for a denouement of this particular design.”

“Hey, byu!” One of larger ones yells, popping off its helmet and turning part of its flabby amoebic body into an arm to wave you over having spotted Bill as he approached “Hey byu, tell Zquib zinners we find dis Holy Artifact infinitely dimes infinitely before dem. Blease!”

Shi Krem raises her hand up in some faint gesture of dismissal. "I propose a third solution. Release the droid, all of you."

Shi Krem still has her other hand over the saber in its holster, preparing a defend action.

JT: I thought you were being sneaky

H3-4L B07: they was sqauwkin

Sunny: shit

H3-4L B07: 'at me

Sunny: i totally forgot about that. yeah im in the shadows then

H3-4L B07: "Well 'ello their boys. What seems ta be da trouble 'ere?!"

Shi Krem looks on from her perch up above in some shadowy ruins.

JT: I don't know why but H3 now has an accent

Shi Krem whispers into her comm. "Try to secure that droid. It looks to be an old Jedi model. Could have valuable intel."

H3-4L B07 responds through his internal comms so he doesn't have to speak. "I know that."

Shi Krem responds. "Yeah I know you know, but I feel better saying it anyway."

BWS2K: ((lol))

Ugor: "Dis Zquib zinners won't let go!"

Squib: "Wezz found dis first, Ugor scum!" the squib retorts!

Story Teller: They go back and forth each claiming to have found the droid first to each other

H3-4L B07: "Do any of you have any idea where your standin'?"

Story Teller: All the while pulling on the arm each of them seems to have claimed

H3-4L B07: "You do know it's illegal for you to be scavenging here by imperial law don't you?"

7-A39 "SevenAy": "Ow! Please do be careful! I'm not designed for this!"

Ugor: "Dis zity abandoned. Imperialz don't care."

H3-4L B07 pulls out his shotgun. "The officer that ordered me and my partner here would beg to differ laddie."

Story Teller: roll deception

Shi Krem withdraws her saber hilt.

Story Teller: or persuasion if you're really intimidating

:

Hello Anthony B.

Joined 8/26/2015 @ 19:37:4

Sunny: hooray

H3-4L B07:

Deception 9

Sunny: holy shit yes please start lying for him

Story Teller: The two groups look between the shotgun and Bill, they don't really seem to take his threat as it's intended and go back to their squabbling

Anthony B.: I literally just walked in the door and my talents are already needed.

OOC- quick overview please?

Alicia G (GM): character please

Shi Krem starts looking around through the shadows, looking for something that could be used to distract them from the droid, something shinier perhaps?

H3-4L B07: "This is bill to agent Mikaal. We may have a valuable droid. Local scavengers are fighting over it I need backup."

Mikal Rahl: Suddenly drop pod.

Story Teller: Do you say that in such a way that they hear you?

H3-4L B07: "Yes

Anthony B.: no sorry. ill switch back. can i just have been in the background?

i just have no idea which one we should favor, or why. or where.

JT: favor neither we need the droid for us

Anthony B.: gotcha

Mikal Rahl: I observe the two parties, gauging their overall strength.

Ugor: "Valuable, youz hear that Squib thingz!"

7-A39 "SevenAy": "Oh my!" shouts the droid, clearly in distress, "No, please don't- no, please, that's attached!"

Squib: "Yes, it's ourz by High Squibbian law!"

Mikal Rahl: Are the two groups armed?

Story Teller: Blaster pistols, they have satchels which re filled with at first glance seems to be junk

H3-4L B07 raises his shotgun "Drop the droid both of you before this gets bad!"

Mikal Rahl: Got it.

Mikal Rahl runs up from behind. "Whoa, whoa whoa!" He shouts, hand raised in a 'calm down' manner.

H3-4L B07 lowers his shotgun. "Glad your here boss."

Mikal Rahl: "Easy, Bill. Let's try NOT blasting the locals, mm?" He gently nudges the gun.

H3-4L B07: "Right boss."

Mikal Rahl: "Alright." He clears his throat and speaks up over the squabbling. "Um, excuse me?"

Mikal Rahl walks forward slowly. "Is there a problem here?"

Story Teller: The pair holding the droid desist long enough to look over at Mikal. They're hold on their respective arm still tight. AS Mikal asks what the problem is they both start talking over each other

Mikal Rahl pinches the bridge of his nose. "Alright, alright, okay, hold on now, one at a time." He points at the largest individual in front of him. "You. Tiny. Speak."

Ugor seems eager to regail his story: "Weez found dis droid thing from the ruinz, dragging it out from dar. Dis Squib thing dinks to claim it when it had been det down for dust a zecond."

Mikal Rahl: I would like to Use the Force to telepathically send an image to Shi while this guy speaks.

Shi Krem whispers once more into her comm. "If your plan doesn't work tell them you're calling in your even higher superior."

Mikal Rahl nods. "Mmhmm. I see. Scavenging rights, hmm?"

Shi Krem: "I'll come in then."

Mikal Rahl:

Use the Force 19

Squib speaks up pulling on the droid in his death grip. "NO Ugors where der! We found droid . Pozession is nine hundred-and-ninety-nine one-thousandths of High Squibbian Law after all!

Mikal Rahl: "Seems to me that we have a clash of laws, my fine gents!" He thrusts his hand in to the air. "And I shall help you discover what is right today!"

"Over there."

Mikal Rahl points to a nearby (insert object).

Mikal Rahl:

Persuasion 20

H3-4L B07: I put my shotgun away

Mikal Rahl: "My trigger happy friend here shall watch your claim, and make sure that neither party interferes in this judgment!" He motions the shotgun back out.

H3-4L B07: "Yes boss."

Mikal Rahl: "And I-" he says with a small flourish. "A fine representative and learned individual of all things law shall pass judgment!"

Anthony B.: PLEASE let these guys be that dumb lol

Story Teller: Neither of the two holding the droid seem about ready to relinquish their grip on the droid. That would after in there minds. Invalidate their claim entirely

H3-4L B07 whispers over comms. I claimed we was here on imperial authority. Try to use that

Shi Krem has still been looking through rubbish in the shadows for anything that looks like it could pass as more interesting than a droid, or even something she could mind trick into being more interesting than a droid. Bill can probably patch in their conversation to her earpiece anyway.

JT: do you think they'd trust me more to watch it if they knew I was a droid

I find that offensive

Mikal Rahl: "I see you have doubts. Tell me, do either of you doubt the might of the Empire or our love for our people? Your rights are your own. And this-" he points to Bill. "Is a droid. Droids follow orders, yes?"

Deception 30

Sunny: careful they may want a piece of bills ass next

JT: they couldn't afford it

BWS2K: ((Word. There's more of them on the planet than you! lol))

Mikal Rahl turns to Bill. "Droid, you shall guard these people's claim. They outnumber us significantly so nothing tricky."

H3-4L B07 salutes. "Yes sir."

Mikal Rahl turns back to the two opposed parties. "Now, since your two groups obviously need help deciding, how about you tell me more about this situation over there so I may sit and think? Thinking and sitting go hand in hand, yes?"

Story Teller: The pair still don't seem to be willing to let go of their claim. or at least to be the first one to do so.

Mikal Rahl: I'm literally trying to overwhelm their little brains with authority.

7-A39 "SevenAy" , the half-droid currently locked in the tug-of-war between the Squib and Ugor, follows the exchange intently, glad for at least a moment's rest from the violence...

Sunny: theres a small possibility my internet will go out

H3-4L B07 walks forwards and takes his own grip on the droid

Sunny: apparently im going through a hurricane?

Alicia G (GM): huh.. I lost connection to the shard...

Sunny: ok so its not just me

Anthony B.: yeah me too. im back

H3-4L B07: also here

Anthony B.: anyway, can i send that mental image to Shi?

Sunny: ive still been trying to find anything that looks more enticing than a droid among the garbage

Alicia G (GM): missed what image you wanted to send

BWS2K: It was just one of my rockets mis-firing. Sorry, won't happen again.

Alicia G (GM): There isn't really anything. Anything of the surface of value has already been scavenged

JT: weren't you sneaking inside the academy to find the holocron?

Sunny: i could do that, yeah. but i figured me going in alone without backup to find the thing shrouded in a dark side aura was a bad idea

JT: yeah probably

Story Teller: The pair seem to get rather upset when Bill tries to take hold of the droid. It's tantemount to him putting in his own claim on the half-droid.

Mikal Rahl: Good idea.

Sunny: i wish mind trick could be applied... i guess kinda in reverse?

Squib: "Dis droid valuable yes?"

Sunny: in a way that anyone who looks at some designated... thing.... believes its whatever im making it out to be

Mikal Rahl: "Hold, Bill." I look around. "A third, and temporary, claim could be laid on the droid. We could droidsit him for you while you fight it out. No one wants the droid to get hurt, right?"

"I know this wonderful game of paper rock blaster..."

7-A39 "SevenAy": "A very wise suggestion, sir!"

Mikal Rahl motions at the droid.

Mikal Rahl: "Ah, see! He's no good to any of you broken. Let us settle this, take the prize, and I will keep all of you honest by Squibbian AND scavengin' law!"

Ugor: "What da zugessting?" he seems confused.

Mikal Rahl: "Simple. Each side will pick one challenge, and myself of course, will pick a challenge. It can be anything OTHER than death. Win 2 of the 3 challenges LEGALLY and Imperial support will be yours, for better or worse."

"For example, the Squibs seem to be masters of law (akin to a Knowledge check) and the Ugor seem to be best at spotting things (akin to Perception check)."

"I shall suggest a third challenge if it's needed at the end."

Shi Krem whispers into her comm. "I've got an idea. Play along."

JT: and the plot thickens

Mikal Rahl: I am laying on the flattery and doing everything I can to get these guys turned on to the idea of a competition solving their problems.

Alicia G (GM): waiting to see what Sunny comes up with

Shi Krem comes running out from around some rubble, faking looking winded and exasperated, she pulls a shaky salute and her voice comes out shaky. "S-sir! There have been reports of a surviving starship! A uh... a rare one! Intel says they haven't seen anything like it! It's over on the East side of the Academy, buried in there deep! They don't have any forces in the area and they're worried that uh... scavengers will get to it! They said you two are the only ones close, but you have to work quick because intel spotted a third faction of scavengers planetside!" She catches her breath after the long winded explanation, making sure to lay it on thick around the part about the rare. incredibly valuable starship.

Shi Krem:

Deception 35

Sunny: SHAZAM

Mikal Rahl glances at the Squibs and Ugor.

Mikal Rahl:

Deception 32

Mikal Rahl eyes widen.

Sunny: holy shit

Mikal Rahl: "Is it.... no... could it be?" He puts on his best "shocked face".

BWS2K: (( El to the Oh to the capital El, ya'll))

Mikal Rahl: I look at the two groups. "FIRST ONE TO THE SITE KEEPS THE STARSHIP!!! SQUIBBIAN LAW L053R!"

Story Teller: The pair look between their respective groups and with the word of the ship being too much temptation. Drop the droid and start trying to race each other towards the East quadrant leaving behind the droid and a couple of their satchels in their haste.

H3-4L B07: "Yoink"

Mikal Rahl watches them bolt away.

Shi Krem drops her mock salute, dusting off her cloak as she turns to the droid, walking over to help stand it up.

Shi Krem: "And that's how it's done."

Your only warning is the gurgling exclamation, “Holy irrebducible garbágina!” from one of the Ugors, followed by a loud, inhuman growl. As you turn around, there, in broad daylight, appear horrors wrenched from the realm of darkness. Giant reptilian, slavering monsters, black as the void and just as soulless, burst from the concealment of the academy ruins, galloping toward you!

Mikal Rahl: "You know they should learn to spell," he says when they are out of earshot. "L053R. What a bunch of LOSERS."

7-A39 "SevenAy" watches his captors scurry away, muttering "I do hope there are no droids at the site..."

Shi Krem: "...Oh."

Mikal Rahl: "Nope."

The Dark Lizards’ hungry, inky tongues unfurl from gullets that seem bottomless, thanks to the 10-centimeter ebon teeth lining their mouths, which dribble tar like drool. These beasts resemble living shadows, and only their ivory claws indicate that their origin is not supernatural. Their obsidian hides radiate incalculably vile energy. There is no sign of intelligence in their primeval gazes, only the brand of distilled evil—their eyes smolder with the orange-red glow of the dark side.

Sunny

Sunny: what exactly are the flanking rules? do i need to be exactly opposite them, or just able to draw a line between me and allies that intersects the enemy?

Story Teller: I believe you can't be diagonal

Sunny: and the rules for AoOs are moving out of a threatened square, even if you move into another threatened square?

Story Teller: when you move out of without withdrawing, yes

Sunny: so if i move into threatened space of A, i cant reposition within that threatened space without provoking, even if i never leave it?

Story Teller: correct

the counter would be if you had acrobatics trained

and unless the target has combat reflexes they can only make 1 AoO

Sunny: if i delay to after mikal he could give me a free move to here and i would get a full attack

Story Teller: the Ugors are allies though so you can actually move through their spaces no problem

Sunny: yeah but i wanna be able to double whammy the alpha when i DO draw its attention

Mikal Rahl: also, i can only use each of those commands once per encounter so im almost spent

Sunny: ah, ok i thought they were at wills

Mikal Rahl: some of them.

7-A39 "SevenAy" reacts to the sounds of the beast's defeat with another audible cheer, though this time managing to stay focused on his grip: "Good show! Very well done!"

Mikal Rahl: Knowledge Tactics to recognize that the wild beast just made a tactical decision.

Knowledge (Tactics) 21

Story Teller: It's left... anyone following it?

Shi Krem figures putting the fear of god in it is enough.

Shi Krem twirls her lightsaber as she shuts it off, sliding it quickly into its concealed holster.

Story Teller: The squib and ugors are goiong to go about their own business taking care of their dead

Mikal Rahl: "Remind me to snag some tracking beacons sometime..."

Alicia G (GM): I'm going to take a little break feel free to RP

Shi Krem is going to give the last surviving squib time to carry out proceedings with his fallen comrade before she approaches him with her job offer.

Shi Krem claps her hands together, brushing off accumulated dirt. "Well, any guesses as to what /those/ were?"

Squib looks up as he collects the belongings of his comrades eying the Ugors to make sure they're not trying to salvage anything from them. "Petzzz.. Velievers' petzz."

BWS2K: (( Mrs. BW just got home from work - I'm taking a breather too, be back in a few, and well done! 7A would clap if he wasn't so precariously perched! ))

Ugor take their comrades body and head away.

Shi Krem turns her gaze to the Squib, striding up to him in one long step.

Squib gathers what he can carry and he too starts to move away

Shi Krem: "Whose pets?" She towers over him, perhaps a bit unintentionally menacingly.

Squib pauses. "Velievers"

Sunny: http://tinyurl.com/ndlcnd8 is how she steps

Shi Krem: "Who is that? What do you know about them? Anything you know could assist us."

Squib puts his hands up defensively. "Know nothing." He points to one of the bits of the graffiti that's around that says: "Death to the UNFAITHFUL."

Squib: "Velievers do that.. Lizard things der petz.."

Mikal Rahl: Believers.

He's saying believers.

Shi Krem nods. "Alright. Thank you for the assistance. I am sorry I could not protect your comrades." She kneels down to his level. "I wish you the best in your journeys."

Squib nods emphathetically towards Mikal. "Velievers.. yes!"

Shi Krem holds her eye level stare with the squib for a few seconds, before standing back to her full height to begin climbing up to the droid.

Squib takes off, though he ends up leaving more of the satchels then he likely intended to

H3-4L B07: or i can just come down

Shi Krem also wouldn't mind a height advantage in case anything else comes charging out of the rubble.

Mikal Rahl glances at the satchels. He inspects all of them.

Mikal Rahl:

Perception 13

Story Teller: so... Bill coming down with the droid or is Shi going up?

Shi Krem shrugs.

H3-4L B07: coming down

Story Teller: ok

too bad BW decided to go afk now :)

Good time to call it anyways

Sunny: aww

Mikal Rahl: cool

I also keep one of the empty bags.

Shi Krem rubs a finger over her freshly bleeding wounds, wincing a bit as she goes over some of the deeper ones. "Medic?"

H3-4L B07: "I'm coming I'm coming."

As Bill brings the half droid down from the wall he had hauled him up on for safety.The droid gives them his profuse thanks. Now the teams attention can return their attention to the ruins of the Academy which lies just a short distance from where they stand on the other side of the dilapidated buildings.What will they find in the academy ruins? Find out next time!
