Topic: A Local Legend - An Audalis Short Adventure
Subject: Here's hoping...


“I have told you before, and I will tell you again: if the sea hasn’t interfered with the problems of the village yet, than why should you? Sometimes staying in between sides is best for everyone. And you HAVE chosen a side, haven’t you?”

“Eh! Blbaobabl!” began Cole, eying the strange syl while saying a silent prayer to Shinara. Glancing at his companions, he continued, “We were just sayin’ it b’ nice t’ run int’ you again. And, lo, and behold, look what Cardista rolls in, eh, lasses.”

Turning his attention back to the druid, the swashbuckler continued, “I’m thinkin’ we’ve chosen a side alright. Though, I’m not so sure it b’ so much against th’ sea. And, if I might b’ addin’, I think if th’ truth were t’ b’ told, you’ve chosen a side too, eh?”

Not giving the sea-syl a moment to answer his question, Driscoll pushed on, “Right. See, this isn’t really ‘bout th’ Sea versus the village, is it? Right. This b’ more ‘bout a jilted lover still mad about love lost, isn’t it?”

Pausing for only a second, Driscoll decided to test his theory and put it all on the line, “Tell us again why she left you, Gubulondil?”

[OOC: Sorry, DM & Brianna, if I'm about to cause a TPK...]

Subject: Moving on up...


The swashbuckler gave Iyaldar a simple nod, knowing the man-who-was had risked much in revealing his true self. Turning to his companions, he spoke in hushed tones, "I think it b' time t' leave, lasses. I could use th' fresh air an' open skies."

As they left the worship chamber, Cole took one more look at the drawings scrolled across the walls.

[OOC: Driscoll is looking for depictions of Gubulondil on the walls]

When they were back in the tunnel again, out of ear shot of the man-lizards, Cole turned to his companions, “Looks like we got some thinkin’ to do, lasses. Why not go back t’ th’ inn an’ check ‘em ‘lil trinkets we found earlier? Then, I say we make a search for that shifty syl of sea-druid.”

[OOC x2: Driscoll’s plan is for the party to move back to the inn, examine the items we found earlier… and, perhaps, look for the sea-syl. Think it’s time to pay that shifty syl another visit.]

Subject: Hey, hey!


Loki, pulling back your post was okay. But it was good "as is"

My warning regarding Switch and not abusing his sudden disability was only to say "don't be too disappointed if you don't get a whole lot from the computer that will be of use to you."

Sorry, I may have miscommunicated what I meant. Anyway, I'm just trying to say that while this room may seem to be a treasure house, you probably won't need anymore than the info I originally gave you off the computer.

However, I am still planning on running the computer use/ gather information check for Hako'ib, yes? (you still want him to do this, Loki?) I will say that whatever I post as a result of that will be all the information you will get from this room.

**As a note to all, (not you Loki, all) please do not post major edits to your posts unless you ask me first as I have found that that just leads to confusion.

LOVE the new energy!! Yay!

Subject: LOOT LIST


LOOT LIST

Astromech droid --- destroyed and nothing really salvageable here

Thugs – 6 vibroaxes, 3 vibrodaggers, 2 heavy blaster pistols, 6 blaster pistols, 1 blaster rifle (non-functioning), 10 power packs, 10 energy cells, 240 credits ( on 3 credsticks of 60 each, 2 credsticks of 20 each, 2 credsticks of 10 each)

Ganga’Lor – 1 heavy blaster pistol, 1 vibro-dagger, 2 power packs, 2 energy cells, 80 credits on 2 credsticks of 40 each

Switch – I wouldn’t touch him if I were you.

Switch’s Desk – 5 empty credsticks, 6 blank/ empty datadisks

Mars – leave the dead comrade alone please.


And now, in the durasteel containers around the room:

1) 6 blaster carbines
2) 20 blaster pistols
3) A lot of energy cells
4) A lot of power packs
5) 3 vibro-axes
6) 10 vibro-blades

10) 10 blast vests and helmets
11) 2 surgical kits, 2 medkits, 10 medpacks

Hako’ib will remember that these are for a buyer who is suppose to stop by the following day to pick up these items.

Let me remind you that, outside of pistols and vibro-daggers, ranged weapons and vibro-weapons are illegal on the station as are explosives.

Subject: Hahaha...


Ya... about R5-B8... that was a little special sumthin-sumthin just fer you!

Anyway, let me point out to you all, that I fudged some of this just to bring you together and move the story along. In particular, Switch's ending is there only to allow Hako'ib the freedom to leave. Please don't abuse this... because it will be to no avail.

Loki: Switch's computer is probably double the size of what a 486 desktop CPU used to be. You can take it if you like, though it will require two hands to carry out.

I'm still working on your computer use/ gather info check.

Ginafae: feel free to pillage any of the bodies lying on the ground. Beyond their blasters and vibro-weapons, I'll post up a possible loot list in a bit.

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: Reply


Q. What other knowledge would I have of Switchs assets?

A. Hako’ib would not know much. Switch kept most of his information locked in his own tin head (too advanced for Ara’ala), in R5-B8’s can (now destroyed), and on his computer. While Switch had Hako’ib run and pay the local Planetary Defense Force their weekly bribe to keep the Imperials away from his operation, the droid did not divulge his business with the Twi’lek.


Q. Would I know of anything useful that he owns (like encrypted comlinks, deck plans of the station or information on patrols)?

A. This is about all Switch owns. His collection of wines and liquors is pretty extensive and valuable. The desk is priceless. The computer system is a pretty sleak model. R5-B8 was a nice unit with some decent upgrades. The five thugs and Hako’ik… all on his tab.

As far as physical stuff, what you see in the room is what you get. Not sure you want to be hauling any of it out, however.

As far as information goes… well, that’s Switch’s specialty. Does he have deck plans? Yep! But I’m going to assume that Hako’ib is pretty familiar with the station too and knows his way around. [There’s no “back door” onto Blue Deck, b-t-w… but Hako’ib knows which elevator will take them closest to the docking bay.]

Other information, i.e. Patrol schedules, are likely known by Switch but were not shared with Hako’ib. Switch probably kept that information in his tin-head, though maybe you could scan through the computer for the information.



Q. Also, how does Switch normally collect things from the docking bay? Hako'ibs been working for Switch for 4 years so I'd think he'd know.

A. Switch rarely collects things from the docking bay, preferring the regular docking bays to Blue Deck’s. Beyond that, Switch rarely collects stuff… he’s more of a fence or a middle-man, connecting people who are looking to get rid of certain things with people who are looking for just those things. So, the items actually rarely leave the docking bays, and merely transfer from on ship to the next. It’s rare that Switch would have an item in his possession for more than a week or two at most.



I'll post up some results for your search check on the computer later tonight as well as answer other questions, should they arise.

Topic: A Local Legend - Q/A
Subject: What's next?


To be completely honest, I'm not really sure what to do next. Some thoughts:

1) If we could restore the the woman back to this god, maybe that would appease him. Except I'm not sure where she is. If we did, maybe the potions of life would work? Not sure.

2) The elder lizard/ wizard keeps say "He is listening" like the god is near by and listening in. Where is he? Part of me thinks its the sea-druid we met earlier, but I'm not sure. I feel like the sea-druid has a greater part in this story still, but again, not sure. Maybe we need to talk with him some more... or kick the crap out of him.

3) Moving the villagers away also does not seem to be an option. The elder lizard/ wizard said that would destroy them all. Interesting... this symbiotic relationship between the villagers and man-lizards.

4) This feud in the village between the two families, is this tied to the blacksmith and father who were killed in the fire? I suspect that the other man-lizards are the offspring of the two feuding families. Perhaps if we could get them to make peace?!? Really not sure about this?

5) So... how do we appease the eternal wrath of a sea god? Argh! Brain cramp!

Well... those are my thoughts. Help!

Anyway, I'm away until Sept 3, maybe Sept 8 before I can post. Please feel free to move Driscoll along with you. I don't think we're going to get anymore in the man-lizards habitat.

Here's to hoping you two solve this riddle before I return!

Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: Railroading is a hobby of mine


IN THE STORAGE BAY

Switch surveyed the devastation and death that surrounded it, the vibroblade still humming in his hands. “All.. all.. all lost,” he stammered in his mechanical voice. “Mus.. Mus.. t re.. re.. start ag..gain.”

Ithiria had helped Ara’ala up gently and they both went to look for Mars. The still form of the Mandalorian shook the Arkanian a bit, already shell-shocked numb by the death around her, some of which were by her hand.

“Do not worry for Mars,” comforted Ithiria as she placed a hand on the Ara’s shoulder. “He was Mandalorian, and died as a true Mandalorian should… in battle.”

They regarded the Mars a moment longer, their thoughts silent, before the Jedi moved off to check on the Twi’lek bodyguard. Ithiria found him unconscious, but stable. His chest, though scorched from the blaster fire, moved up and down rhythmically. Ithiria did not move the Twi’lek, however, concerned that it might jeopardize his health.

While the Jedi looked to the other Twi’lek, Ara’ala lit a smoke-stick and glanced over at R5-B8. “I might be able to fix your friend,” she said to Switch as she exhaled, trying to keep her hands from trembling. While the cigarra took some of the edge off the pain her breathing was still ragged from the wound she sustained.

The protocol droid was sitting at its desk again, however, its focus on the screen. “N.. not much t.. time. M.. must com…plete tr.. tr… tr.. trans… action,” it stuttered. Its hands whirled unsteadily over the keyboard. “Y.. yes! Help, if.. if.. y.. you can.”

Ara’ala eyed Switch suspiciously, as she moved towards R5-B8. Just as she was about to check the astromech out in more detail, however, Switch’s head spun towards her. “W.. Wait!” it cried.

But it was too late.

R5-B8 was apparently fitted with an anti-tamper/ auto-destruct feature – very uncommon for its type, though not too surprising considering who it worked for. The explosion sent Ara’ala fly back into the durasteel containers, knocking her unconscious.

Ithiria, hearing the explosion, raced to find her companion. “Ara!”

[OOC: Zoom to black…]


MOISE’S CANTINA, THE PROMENADE

Karra Liadon had been stuck on this station for over six weeks now. ‘Travel Restrictions’ had been the excuse given to her, but she knew better. Prejudice! she thought. Imperial propaganda! She had come to know it well, having tasted it in medical school. The thought burned her, gnawed at her.

What had supposed to have been a way-stop on route to her next contract had turned into a lengthy lay-over as no one was will to take her on board. Well… not for a reasonable price, at least. Even Delgas’ Medical Supplies on the Promenade wouldn’t hire her on… said she wasn’t the help they were looking for.

It had been then that she had met Hako’ib. The Twi’lek was a majordomo for a local information broker on the station, a guy by the name of Switch. Hako’ib said that maybe Switch could be in need of the Cather’s services. Karra had told the Twi’lek that unless his boss was offering a ticket of this station, she wasn’t really interested in some shady deal. Hako’ib said he’d pass on the information, but that she may want to reconsider in light of her current circumstances.

That had been five weeks ago. Sitting in Moise’s, that’s what Karra was doing right now – reconsidering.

And it was at that moment fate seemed to move in her favor. Her datapad beeped, indicating that she had received an incoming message. Tapping the screen, the pad came to life and she quickly opened the message – it was from Switch himself… with an offer of work:

..........Mis Liadun, got wrk you may b intrestd in.

..........Servces requird: Surgery
..........Compnsatn: Trp to Alderan

..........Meet me inn N14 Storge Bay now!

Closing the pad, Karra didn’t waste a moment. Paying her tab, she quickly gathered her gear and made for the meeting spot.

[OOC: Fade to black…]


BACK IN THE STORAGE BAY, SOME TIME LATER…

Karra was putting her surgical equipment back, while Ithiria sat beside the now sleeping Ara’ala. Nearby, the Twi’lek bodyguard also lay, resting peacefully.

The Cathar medic had arrived just in time, and while the Jedi had first not known what to make of Karra, Ithiria quickly entrusted Ara and Hako’ib into her care. And while the Jedi had not promised Karra a ride off the station, she did say that it was a distinct possibility. The hope was enough to move the medic into action.

“Two minutes, I’d guess,” said Karra to Ithiria. “They should be waking up soon.”

Almost to the second both the Arkanian and the Twi’lek began to stir. Questions of “what happened?” and “who are you?” and others like them were answered gently by both the Jedi and the medic. Brief introductions all-around were made, and Ithiria explained to Ara the “deal” made with Karra – a ride to Alderaan when they got picked up with the package.

Talk of the package reminded Ara of something else, “Where’s Switch?”

Ithiria merely nodded over behind her. There, slumped with its head against the desk, was the protocol droid. “Not sure, but I think the thug must have really messed up its internal systems with that dagger.”

Concern and frustration was expressed about how they were going to proceed from here, seeing as Switch had never gotten around to sharing the location of the package they were looking for.

It was here that Hako’ib offered his services… for a price. “Get me off this station,” he stated, “and I’m pretty sure I can find the information you need.”

Ara’ala and Ithiria considered and discussed their options in private before responding to the Twi’lek. Seeing no other way, they accepted the bodyguard’s help with the condition that they received the information upfront.

Moving the now disabled droid aside, Hako’ib sat down at Switch’s computer and punched at the keys. Twenty minutes later he had all the information he needed, which he shared with his new companions:

• The cargo is in the main docking bay on Blue Deck, a section of the station heavily traveled by Imperial loyalists and one of the few places where Imperial ships dock.

• The cargo is in fact an Alderaanian Security Agent, frozen in carbonite for transport from the Deep Core world of Empress Teta.

• Switch apparently also has a crate of Corellian rum that is supposed to be shipped to Alderaan. Hako’ib knows the contact on Alderaan and believes that the crate could fetch up to five hundred credits. The crate is on the same deck as their cargo, and can be carried by a single person.


[OOC: Alright… it’s a little railroaded… and rough… but it gets you altogether. Here’s some additional thoughts and information for you.

1) Switch is disabled right now. Should Ara attempt to fix it, she’ll find that he’s beyond her experience at the moment.

2) You are all at full health again. I will update the sheets later.

3) I’ve left the last section here rough because I didn’t want to put words in your characters’ mouths. You should feel free to add some conversation to the above.

4) Beyond that, you all need to work out a plan on how you’re going to get your hands on the cargo on Blue Deck.

5) I’m on vacation starting now, until Sept 3. I may be able to answer questions prior Monday and Tuesday, but after that I will be without internet access (camping and all). I hope to sometime between Thursday, Sept 3 and Friday, Sept 4, and then again on Wednesday, Sept 9, and then we should be back on track as my work schedule kinda slides back into a routine. Please have a plan in place and posts up before Sept 3.

Thanks! And may the Force be with you! … you’ll need it…

Subject: What did we do??


What happened to those "potions of life" we found in the Wizard's Tower? We maybe should have drank those things... or at least examined them some more.

Here's what I think... this old guy is the wizard from long ago. He somehow managed to turn himself into a man-lizard through magic/experimentation (i.e. jelly fish back at the wizard tower, Almerin saying something about these jelly fish... forget exactly what, wizard's note about "the ritual"), not exactly sure why he did this yet, though. Maybe to protect the villagers? Also, not sure if the rest of the man-lizards are natural or also created by the wizard's magic.

The elder man-lizard seems to want to tell us more, but like the innkeeper seems afraid of the others around him.... interesting...

Anyway, some thoughts... I'm working on a post...

Subject: Alright! Whooo!


Feels like a whole new world in front of us with fresh blood and all.

Anyway, here's the 411 for new and old a like:

1) Reralae and Loki are our two new additions. Yay!

Reralae is playing a Cathar Medic trying to get to Alderaan, but being laid-up at Sel Zonn Station due to travel restrictions and prejudices. Switch will be requesting her services shortly to help heal Ara'ala and the Twi'lek bodyguard up. Her character sheet is up on page 1.

Loki will be playing Switch's Twi'lek bodyguard, Hako'ib, who is currently stable but unconscious on the bay floor. Hako'ib, like most Twi'leks, is a product of the prominent slave trade of Ryloth. He's been working for Switch for a number of years. He also suffers from a bit of memory loss due to some previous trauma. His character sheet should be up by this evening.

2) I've updated Geraint's sheet already. Look it over, buddy. I think I got it right.

3) Ginafae, I'm looking for a feat and talent selection from you. Otherwise, I think I've updated your sheet as well.

4) Like I said, Ginafae and Geraint, you are welcome to interact with the combat post if you like. I will be somewhat "railroading" the story by Sunday to bring our two new players onboard. Reralae and Loki, if you could wait until after I post before you start posting, that would be awesome.

Thanks all!

Subject: Finishing up combat



ROUND #3

Ara’ala and Thugs #1 & #2

With the sudden realization that they had been betrayed, Ara’ala spun around, spewing forth a mouthful of curses as she squeezed her trigger. The laser bolt slammed into the thug nearest her and sent him spinning to the floor.

This is where the pale blue-skinned woman’s luck ran out, however. The thug still standing had gotten a lock on Ara’ala, and fired off his pistol. The blasterfire caught the Arkanian in the shoulder, burning through her maintenance uniform. The pain was a terrible, hot burning.


Ithiria, Switch, and Thug #3

The third thug, with his rifle clearly jammed, tossed it aside and drew his vibro-dagger. Rushing towards his unsuspecting “boss”, the thug jammed his dagger into the Switch’s back. Sparks flew as the blade sawed through the droid’s circuitry.

Ithiria, seeing her own foes down and her informant being attacked, rushed to aid the droid. Running passed Mars, she leapt onto Switch’s desk and, as though almost bouncing, she leapt over the droid and thug, landing dramatically behind them both.

Switch, seizing the opportunity, grabbed the stunned thug by the wrist and drew the dagger out before it could damage anymore of its wiring. Before the thug could react to the crushing sensation in his wrist, the Jedi had stabbed her lightsaber into the his back and drawn it up and out, slicing through all the man’s vitals. The thug fell to his knees, gagging on his own blood, before finally succumbing to his injuries.


Mars, Ganga’Lor, and Thug #6

Mars was hurting. Pain wracked his entire torso, and he found it very difficult to move, much less aim. Through his hazy vision, he noticed the Jedi Twi’lek move past him, and saw the thug in front of him make a move to protect Ganga’Lor. Trying his best, he raised his rifle and fired off a round at the thug. It went wide of the target, ricocheting off the wall and skimming over Ganga’Lor’s head. This infuriated the Chevian, and the crime lord got the mercenary dead in his sights, his shot sure to take out the sluggish Mars.

Just not my day, Mars thought.

However, fate had other plans for the moment, and Ganga’Lor’s bodyguard’s timing couldn’t have been any worse. Just as the thug moved into a kneeling position in front of the Chevian, Gang’Lor squeezed the trigger. The blast burned a clean hole straight through the thug’s head. Muscles which held the thug in the kneeling position gave way as his synapses were melted, and the man crashed face first into the ground.


ROUND #4

Ara’ala, Thug #2, and Ithiria

The Arkanian mechanic continued her shoot-out with the thug, the pain in her arm only increasing the venom of her curses. Taking solid aim of the thug, she squeezed her trigger, looking for the pig to go down.

Nothing happened. Her pistol merely made a high pitched whine and then powered down.

The thug, seeing his opportunity, stepped away from the crate to get a clear shot at the woman. The blaster shot caught her square in the chest, slamming her into the barrel behind her, causing her to catch her breath as the pain threatened to overload her mind. Her head lolled around for a moment as she sought to breathe through the pain that continued to wash over her.

Ithiria, seeing her companion in serious trouble, leapt forward towards the now exposed thug. The pig didn’t even see the Jedi coming, so busy it was with gloating over the injured Arkanian. Giving a half spin, her head tails wrapping around her, Ithiria brought her light saber to bear on the thug’s neck, severing its spine. With a raspy squeal that seemed to fill the room, the last of the thugs fell dead to the ground.


Mars, Switch, and Ganga’Lor

Ganga’Lor hadn’t quite noticed yet that all his men were dead, so focused was he on ending Mars’ life and destroying Switch. While the crime lord watched his bodyguard fall to the floor, Mars lined up his shot and breathed through the pain.

CRACK! The round left the barrel and, before one could blink, punctured through the Chevian’s thigh.

Ganga’Lor, howling in pain and anger, leveled his pistol at Mars one last time. PZZZZOW! PZZZOW!

And that was the end… two shots fired: one from Ganga’Lor, one from Switch.

Ganga’Lor’s shot left first, hitting Mars once again. This time the pain and injury was too much for even his mind and body to take. The hazy vision went black for the mercenary, and he went to join his father in the place of the dead.

Switch’s shot hit a moment later, slamming into its rival. The blaster bolt punched through Ganga’Lor’s major artery, causing blood to pump out in great spurts as he grasped at his chest.

===========================================================

[OOC: Alright, rounds 3 and 4… and the combat scene is finished…

Some notes:

1) Mars is dead…. so are all the baddies.

2) Ara’ala took 27 points of damage and slid down one step on the Conditions Track. [meaning that without 8 hrs of complete rest, Ara has a -1 penalty on pretty much all her rolls] Her blaster is busted as well. (You had critical fail, thug had critical hit) You can use “Second Wind” to gain back 8 hp immediately if you like.

3) Ithiria took no damage

4) Switch took some damage but seems to be okay… from a quick glance.

5) R5-B8 is heavily damaged and likely destroyed. The Twi’lek bodyguard is unconscious.

I was concerned about the link too, but after your assurances, fearless Webmaster, I pushed past my timidness and clicked forward and was also pleased with the links content.

It's all true! You're AWESOME, Drizzts!
