Tell Me Your Story

The first was a sentient that looked just like a Human, if not for the blindfold she had wrapped over her eyes- or rather where they would be if she had them. She was a Miraluka named Visase Tersik.

In the Twilight district (Lower and darker levels of the city), she earned herself the nickname of "The Grey Witch", and devoted herself to killing off the gangster scum in the lower reaches, while using her Force talents in Force Sight and other combat talents she learned to assist her in getting her quarry.

In one hand, she wielded a Vibrosword, and in the other a Blaster Pistol, and she fought well in melee and at range in this configuration.

She was followed like a massiff pup by a much larger figure...

(Pic related, it was the portrait I commissioned from her from an artist here on Veeky Forums who goes by Nate Pilgrim. He has a facebook if you care to check more of his stuff out)

The larger figure was a Schwere Verteidigung Droid (SVD) named Simon. Simon's model was designed by a bug-like race known as the Verpine who are skilled in making heavily adaptable and easily modifiable ships, vehicles, and droids.

As an SVD, Simon is built in with heavy weaponry like a missile launcher. Simon has four arms; two hands, and two claws for when he needs to defend himself up close.

Simon has a personality quirk though, and believes that every sentient he sees is a "Human". Efforts on correcting him make him upset, to the point of sometimes launching missiles at his target. As of such, nobody corrects him.

Visase found him while she was killing off the gangs of Coruscant while he was helpless. When Simon awoke, Simon swore her a life debt like those "Humans" on Kashyyyk do.

Together, Visase and Simon walked over to Arbet, where Visase nodded in acknowledgement of him without even a greeting.

Visase had been brought to Arbet on the ground of blackmail. Her vigilantism had been recorded by Arbet, who in turn told Visase that she would not be reported to the police, if only she helped his own master in an important task.

Visase had accepted that offer, in hope that this was what the Force wanted to bring her to do.

Then the door opened up again to a slim looking figure...

(Pic related. Same artist made him!)

A Duros man walked through the door with a blaster rifle slung over his back with a cheap implanted eye embedded into his left eye socket walking up to Arbet with a scowl.

He didn't say much, other than introduce himself as Kader Areta, and without saying much to either Visase or Simon, pulled out a Cigarillo, and puffed on it while a different door opened up to reveal a lean and athletic looking figure...

(Pic related, it's Kader.)

Finished my first campaign as a player recent so might as well do that.
>The Tale of Kaiger and Fiendz
Like all tales of adventure it started in a tavern where an unlikely duo decided to work together. Kaiger, a half-orc barbarian, and half-elf bard, who refers to himself simply as 'the Bard'. Where Kaiger, was blunt,honorable and eager to fight.The Bard thinks before he acts,deceptive and pragmatic. Despite their differences they seemed to got along well enough.

Their first task to kill a bunch ogre zombies that had been risen from some arcane mishap in a mine. It took a three day trek to reach. Along their trek they encountered, the Bard notices burning red eyes in the forest. A pack of hellhounds sprung out to attack them. The Bard and barbarian duo manage to make quick work of two of them while one lingered away. The Bard was shaken by the experience as he recalled an old myth that "Thrice I have seen them and Thrice I have come for my soul." Kaiger merely laughed and welcomed the challenge of killing more demonic dogs.

On the second of their journey they found a knight. His flesh charred to the bone and his armor melted beyond use. The two searched the body and discovered he was a distinguished knight of the Bearstein family who were known to serve the Fagrini Dukes of the north. Kaiger took the man's sword and his tabard so he could deliver to the family after they accomplished their task while the Bard failed to see the point in it.

On their third day, they encountered the same hellhound again outside where the Bard used his wit and magic to appear friendly the hellhound so that it would assist them in their effort to kill some Ogre zombies. The battle in the mines was fierce, Kaiger suffered many blows from the fight and nearly perished but survived through sheer anger and will.

When they last ogre fell,the hound had scurried off and left the two to return to town. Now it would hunt for their souls and their journey was just beginning...

The man that walked through the door came in a manner quite opposite to Kader, in that he was flamboyant, and wore a sports Jersey. It was clear that he was a Twi'lek, except that he had six small lekku (head tails) going down from his head unlike the other Twi'lek that had two long Lekku that went a long ways down the back.

He walked up to Arbet and in a loud and proud and difficult to understand manner announced himself as Hartel Stellartrotter, and that he was the star player of the new and happening Ryloth (the home planet of the Twi'lek) sport known as Hoopin' Slam. The sport was now in off season, but was contacted by Arbet to help Arbet's master in that matter...

(Hoopin' Slam is just like basketball, except instead of a basketball, you dribble a specially designed Gungan energy ball that can explode if you're not careful. Additionally, the players are all Force Sensitive, and they shape their likeness into a brittle Force reactive dust made from force crystals that otherwise has all of the same physical and mental traits of the athletes. If a ball explodes, the dust collapses, and the athlete needs to reconstruct himself.)

Hartel kept with him a bundle of Gungan energy balls, and a Vibroknife. Visase felt that he was sensitive to the Force.

Hartel tried to talk to his coworkers, but they weren't much in the mood for conversing with him.

Then came another figure through a different door into the lobby...

(Pic related. It's a Twi'lek Michael Jordan)

Oh Saints and sinners... all right, so this one time I joined up with a new Wayfarer gal... we're like mercenaries, but we do a little bit of everything as long as it's for good, you know? Rescuing people, finding lost things, I got hired to get a druid out of a guy- anyway, not important! So, this gal Carina and me, we're heading from Veist to Tidehollow, working escirt for this shipment of cod oil, and there's this HUGE badger on the road! Thing must have been, like, part bear or something! So Carina's all "Don't worry, I got this." She pulls out her daggers and goes forward. Gets dropped in the first bite, poor thing. So I, being absolutely astounding, draw on my vast wealth if arcane power and put it to sleep! Also turned me into a sheep, so what can you do. Seeing my comrade hurt, why, I scooped her up on my back and ran for the wagon fast as I could! Honestly, if U hadn't enjoyed being a sheep so much at that moment, I'd have finished off the beastie myself so the driver wouldn't have had to waste the bolts!

In through the door walked a young Mon Calamari who looked on at Arbet with disdain. At his side was a Blaster Pistol, and slung over his back was his Blaster Rifle, and he was wearing a flight suit.

Arbet merely acknowledged his presence, sensing that he wasn't willing to talk, but the Mon Calamari did introduce himself as Issilum.

What caught Arbet's attention was the entrance of two figures in a similar manner to Visase's and Simon's entrances...

(Pic related, like usual.)

After a day of rest, Kaiger wanted to set off to the North to deliever the fallen knight's belongings to his family. The Bard begrudgingly agreed since he wished to write his own tale of adventure.

The two needed to journey through the elven woods where they found some new travelling companions. Villagen Taro, a human druid who had a fascination with horses; Clethentit McCheeks, a brash half-orc teenage trapped in a middle aged body, Ulthang,a righteous dragonborn paladin but lastly was a elf warlock simply known as Marijuano Blaze the Dank Elf of Prophecy and the reincarnation of OG Dank Kush the Great.

The group was..chaotic to say the least. Everyother day someone had a beef with another. Whether it was the Bard had insulted Kaiger's mother, Taro had got into a scuffle with Clethentit or MJ wanted to others to try to smoke his foriegn plant.

Though after a few days of travel they came a cross a long forgotten military outpost with a mysterious inhabitant. Being the brave adventurers they were they breached the fortress to explore what was inside where they found it to be empty. The group had broken off into groups where they discovered traces of various dead creatures. MJ and Clethentit searched upstairs where they found mostly rusted armor while the Bard,Kaiger,Taro and Ulthang searched downstairs.

Screeches echoed throughout the abandoned the forgotten fortress. Ulthang and Taro were paired together and down this hallway dried blood began to look fresher and fresher as somehting swooped and clawed at the young druid. The two then turned around and began to shout for assistance. Taro quickly transforming into a panther to run and reqroup while others rushed through the halls to reach them.

The party eventually grouped in a room where entrails acted as chandeliers and skulls were littered about. Taro and the Bard's knowledge realized they were in a Harpy's nest. The harpy swooped down to quickly attack the Dank Elf of Prophecy.

The smaller of the two was a Chiss, who was a human looking man, except with blue skin and red eyes. He kept two heavy blaster pistols hoistered around his legs, and wore a pilot's jacket opened up to a novelty T-Tunic of an atom.

(Pic related.)

Following close behind was a hulking man covered head to toe in crimson armor whose helmet is made in the likeness of a Krayt Dragon's. Additionally, he was carrying an old model blaster rifle known as a Pulse rifle with a vibrobayonet attached.

(His picture will be in the next post)

Arbet looked at the two of them and excitedly spoke that they look like they could help, though he wasn't expecting them...

The Chiss man seemed to be a little awkward when talking to the excited droid who was looking to hire the hulk of a sentient to help.

The hulking man insisted that he would have to hire the both of them if he wants their help. To that, Arbet accepted their offer, and then introduced the two of them to the slowly gathering group.

The Chiss introduced himself as Kale'zen'dreuoll, or just Zendral or Zed would do. The hulk of a man was a Gen'Dai, and introduced himself as Polis. He proudly stated that he was 3000 years old and has been battling foes for all of those years

(Pic related is Polis.)

Mostly, it looked like Zendral was relieved to have work for once, when the back door opened again to a much more serene figure...

It was an interesting sight, but one Arbet was expecting. It was a Jedi Padawan, much to Polis' complaining about having to work with them. But this Padawan was very pecular in that he was clearly a Sith Pureblood (A member of the original Sith species).

(In short, I ruled at character creation that within the 500 years between Darth Krayt's fall and the present that an assault fleet's worth of Sith Purebloods had experienced technical difficulties with the hyperdrive which shot them off course and about 5500 years into the future.)

The Sith Pureblood Jedi stepped towards the gathering group and, after taking a longer look at Visase and Hartel introduced himself as Taral Saarai- a Padawan on the Jedi Order, and ready to heed Arbet's deal.

Arbet mentioned that he was waiting for only one more figure- the semi-notorious space pirate named Tavish Brix.

Upon saying that, the hangar into the bay opened up, and a beaten up shuttle landed in the docking bay where Arbet waited with bated breath.

(Pic related, it's Taral.)

But Clethntit quickly charged to protect Marijuano. Ulthang forcibly dragged the harpy away while Kaiger worked to disable it's wings. Marijuano and Taro made a fantastic display of their abilities of lightning and fire while the Bard played his lute to inspire all. The party for the first time had worked as one as a unit. The Harpy enventually slain, Taro began to scout the area with Marijuano where they found long forgotten magical items. Marijuano dawning a helmet that gave him the will to fight longer and a crossbow that could raise the ground that he named 'Earthraised, Ulthang a ring that enhanced his vision and javelin that gave him flight, Clethentit a sword that could summon a powerful beam of radiant that he dubbed 'El Chakal', Taro a flaming scimitar he dubbed the legendary 'Mixtape' and Kaiger a bastard sword that could cause the ground to quake he named it 'Earthbreaker'.

The party taking a rest in the Harpy's Nest set to travel again and the sense of unity that was in the fortress seemed to fade. Clethentit and Taro continued to bicker which pushed Kaiger to point of beating them into submission from time to time. But they needed rest and the group managed to find shelter in a cave. But as luck would have it, something lurked within a minotaur. Taro summoned the power of the moon to burn the creature and Ulthang cleaved deep into the creature.

As night came they began to talk and bond, the Bard revealed that this isn't his first party of adventurers he was apart of, Marijuano shed some light on his home land of Danktopia and Kaiger revealed that he couldn't read. The Bard offered to teach the half-orc how to read.

The night appeared to be peaceful but the cave wall began to open a deep passageway into the Underdark. Kaiger remembered the tales of the horrible creatures that lurked below and suggested that the party should move their camp or find a way to barricade the entrance to which Marjiuano spoke "Fuck that shit."

Out of the shuttle was something Arbet didn't expect. Two armored guards escorted a Gamorrean with an enormous two handed axe slung over his shoulders was shoved in front of Arbet while holding a Datapad with the message that this Gamorrean, named Orwell was to be sent to the employ of Arbet's master in place of Tavish Brix himself.

Orwell almost attacked the guards back for shoving him, but he refrained from that. Still, Arbet accepted, and then brought the party together and, without anybody understanding Orwell's speech, gave everybody a special license to carry their weapons on the streets of Coruscant, before escorting them outside into the open air of Coruscant where they took a chartered bus to the darkness of the twilight district.

It would be there that the party's purpose will be made more clear.

(Pic related, it's Orwell. There are no more characters to have to introduce. The rest should be faster.)

With that the Dank Elf charged into the darkness with Clethentit and Vilagen Taro following quickly behind.Ulthang and the Bard convinced Kaiger to go down with them while they held the fort.

In the underground chasm, Marijuano met a group of Kuo-Toa which greeted him with open arms. The rest of group stayed back. Marijuano eventually called the group to come out with his telepathic abilities.The Kuo-Toa asked them to present offerings to their god and invited them into their chief's hut. Marijuano offered one of his many joints, Clethentit a deck of cards,Villagen Taro a rock that he picked up earlier, and Kaiger broke off a tooth from his wolf pelt. They entered the small hut where a stone slap covered the entrance and gas began to encompass the room. The party began to drop one by from the gas, Kaiger withstanding the gas the longest took out Earthbreaker and attempted to break the stoneslap. He watched as shattered as darkness came before him.

The party awoke with pincer like spears around their necks by an underground ocean filled with carniverous fish. The Kuo-Toa began to speak in a language the party couldn't comprehend but they could gather it was a chant. The chanting came to a hault as one of the speaker's throats was slit and fell into the pool. The water had become blacker than it was before and then it began to glow a hellsih fiery red. From the water a gargantuan creature, it had two ape like heads that shook violent and it's arms were like tentacles. The creature let out a hellish shriek and gazed upon the crowds of Kuo-Toa as they began to scream,cry and run in fear.It appeared that they had summon Demogorgon the Prince of Demons.

In the state of madness and confusion,Villagen Taro quickly transformed into a rat to scurry off and gather the party's supplies. Kaiger took a spear from his guard and kicked him into the water while Clethentit impaled the guard with it's own spear and Marijuano annihilated his guard with an elderitch bolt

The bus driver who took the 9 party members was a veteran pilot from the Mandalorian War of 630, a Duros, and was a fair bit eccentric. His name was Gunja.

Along the way down into the depths of Coruscant, Gunja tested his old piloting maneuvers to show the party that he still had it while complaining about the political hellscape, and Dalbar's former heroism turning into worse and worse incompetence.

Down in the twilight district, Gunja let the party out where they sought out the address of a run down apartment.

Squeezing through the cramped hallway, they finally made it to room 583, and opened the door to find a well muscled and scarred alien man with his Mandalorian armor hung upon a wall, his numerous melee and ranged weapons laid out around him, and his helmet on his crust covered table.

The man introduced himself as Korot and gruffly stated that he was the body guard of his boss's son named Verin, who had snuck out to take risks despite being ordered not to by his father. In the end, he was captured by a gang calling themselve the Tusken Raiders.

Korot stated that he would kill them all himself, but if he showed his face, his charge would no doubt be killed. Still, if a notorious person like the Grey Witch (Visase) showed up, they would think her arrival was nothing more than vengeance, and would likely not kill Verin after all.

Korot then made clear that he didn't expect the party to have any success, but told them he had no choice but to sit back and wait for the news.

So the party left the apartment to leave Korot be to go to where the Tusken Raiders were hiding out... (Cont.)

Unfortanetely the Prince of Demons took it's gaze upon the party driving them to madness, Kaiger found himself laughing at the hopeless of what had happened,the fearless Clethentit McCheeks couldn't help but run out of fear and terror, and Marijuano experienced the worst of it, he had become sober. The feeling of not being intoxicated with his heavenly kush made him go catatonic. Thankfully Vilagen Taro rushed back to the party and took form of a horse so that they could escape. They rush back to the chasm where a stone wall blocked their path. The druid took Earthbreaker from the barbarian and shattered the wall. He then took earthraiser to seal the entrance. He quickly began to the situation to the Bard and Ulthang as Clethentit continued to run.

A couple hours had passed until the effects of the demon's madness had left the party. Clethentit found himself near a river, while the rest of the party began to discuss how to proceed. One thing was clear that Demogorgon needed to be stopped. Marijuano had suggested that they go to his homeland ask his grandfather,High King Ganja, for assistance while Kaiger suggested they ask the noble families of this land for aid since they were already en route to a human city. After some debate the party decided to continue to the human city.

After a day of rest they regrouped with Clethentit who found himself by a river with a series of islands in the middle of it. The party had no boat. Marijuano without any thought took out Earthraiser and began to make a landbridge between the islands. The party were about to continue their travel but Kaiger decided he was going to practice some of the Bard's lessons. So he took his sword and began to write Kaiger and Friends into the dirt. To his dismay there was no 'z' and friends and he had forgot the r but he thought it was good enough.

The Tusken Raiders likened themselves to the famous Tusken Raiders of Tatooine; wrapping themselves in bandages and wielding low grade weapons. Visase had been killing off that gang as the Grey Witch before taking on this job.

Before the party could plan, Hartel rushed forward, broke down the door, and was immediately peppered in blasterfire- almost dying right there and then.

Slowly, the party trickled in, and started making a mess of the gang. Taral (the Jedi) proved himself to be competent at controlling the battlefield- utilizing force slams, while Orwell (the Gamorrean) seemed to be very good at triage and first aid, using it to bring Hartel back to life.

It wasn't until they found Deesd that they also found the bound up Verin.

Deesd was the second in command of the Tusken Raiders- just below his own boss who was named Ssurg. Deesd battled the party in a large room surrounded by his modified battle droids and gang members while attempting to use Verin as a meat shield. Verin struggled against Deesd, keeping Deesd from being effective in battle.

When Deesd tried to do suicide by Thermal detonator, Visase cut his hand off. When Deesd survived, Hartel dribbled his Gungan energy ball, and then slam dunked it into his head- killing him outright.

Verin exclaimed how awesome the battle was, and that his full name was Verin Taro.

When the party found Deesd's datapad, they discovered that a man named Orm was happy that the Tusken Raiders captured Verin, because with Verin, he would have the means to control Galactic Senator Arken Taro.

Verin was resistant to going back, but seeing as how he was a 14 year old surrounded by battle hardened strangers, he saw his resistance as fruitless.

Verin complied, and was escorted back to Korot's room...

(It's a character heavy/intrigue heavy campaign. Believe me, I am keeping this as short as I can.)

The party finally arrived at the town they made their way to the tavern. Marijuano flirted with the ladies, the Bard played music to his heart's content, Ulthang while Villagen Taro stole a man's drink. Clethentit witnessed this and pulled him outside of the tavern to engage a fight with him. The two had disliked eachother and full confrontation was bound to happen. Clethentit just needed an excuse. He drew his blade, El Chakal, as it's blade began to glow bright white and released it's energy. His arm began quake as the energy pulsed through the weapon and his arm recoiled upwards to the sky. The ray of light was a spectacle to seen as it made it's impact on the moon.

The townsguard arrested the two. Clethentit had an elf roomate and Vlilagen Taro got very acquainted with his half-orc cellmate 'Tybone Hammerfists'.

Kaiger decided to head to the Duke's hall. The guards let him in only to find a throne with a sign reading 'Will be back in ten'. The barbarian waited impaitently for ten minutes and asked one of the guards asked "How long has that sign been up?"

"uh...two months?"

Engulfed in his rage Kaiger began to flip anything that was bound to the ground. The guards terrified as Ulthang began to approach the keep curious to where the half-orc had wandered off to. Ulthang managed to convince the guards not attack or arrest Kaiger. After the half-orc finished his tantrum, the dragonborn informed him of the predicament Clethentit and Villagen Taro was in. He begrdugingly bailed the two out as he clobbered their heads together.

The party regrouped to discuss their next plan, Kaiger was desperate to return the belonging to this family. Marijuano revealed during one of his bed side chats, that there was a rumor that the family moved to the east. So the party decided to travel whether it was out of lack direction or fear that Kaiger would beat them into submission.

Korot scolded Verin in a tone and manner fitting of a Mandalorian warrior for running off like he did.

Verin apologized the whole time, but Korot insisted that he instead apologize to his father who was worried sick.

Korot donned his armor and helmet before returning to Gunja's bus. On the bus, the Tusken Raiders attacked from all sides. The party fought them off from the windows, and by standing atop the bus' roof to do melee with the raiders from there.

After an incident of out-maneuvering the police while changing his bus's number midflight illegally, the bus landed in front of the top of a gorgeous Coruscant skyscraper complete with a garden and swimming pool and were soon introduced to Verin's mother Rea and 4 year old sister Thirra; both of whom were force sensitive, with Thirra asking Taral about why he glowed darkly (Taral had a long backstory involving being a Sith assassin.)

Soon after walking into the beautifully decorated interior of the mansion that they were introduced to their mysterious contact with Arbet standing next to him; Galactic Senator Arken Taro

(pic related)

Verin and Arken had an angry argument before Verin stormed off.

Arken spoke to the party, explaining his reasons for staying hidden from the party initially; and the secrecy was in protecting his son by hiding his own identity in case the mission gets discovered to hopefully not compromise his son's life.

After being presented with the datapad, Arken planned the next step which would be done over dinner...

The group made their trek to the next town. The Bard had told them it was a small trading town that where his original party met. To their dismay, the town burned as men robes cackled. In a fit rage Kaiger, charged one of them and found himself engulfed in flames. The party readied their weapons and engaged in battle. It was all too familiar to the Bard. He frantically sang his enchanted songs to boost the party morale as Clethentit found himself wounded,Marijuano's magic exhausting him while Villagen Taro pressing on with the attack in the form of a bear and Ulthang praying to his god to heal Kaiger's burns.

The cultists slain, the Bard began to shed some light onto their enemy. They are the Cultists of Talona, their goal to spread death and pestilence wherever they go. His original band of adventurers discovered they were looking into rituals into summoning gods. He had split off from them due to differences and he travelled with Kaiger since he seemed almost completely opposite of them. As fate would have it, the party managed to find their chard corpses. Kaiger and Ulthang wanted to find a way to pay their respects to them and the others that had died in this town but the Bard took it as opporutunity to take something that he thought should have been his. Marijuano was fascinated by the human skull took it and blew the smoke of his heavenly kush into the skull with it became animated.

It began to laugh furiously. The dank elf had imbued a part of this OG Dank Kush into skull so it could talk. The party became curious but then the skull just spewed insults to all of them.

Disappoitned with nothing seemed had gotten accomplished they continued to travel from the burning village as the ground began to rumble. Cracks formed in the ground itself as the began to began to break and tear as a chasm formed. Two long tentacles wrapping themselves from the rock.

Demogorgon was rising from the dark below.

The dinner was a formal event that Verin sulked through, and Arken held his composure through as well.

It wasn't until after dessert that Arken announced that he had to break apart the family to keep them all safe- in order to keep the eggs in multiple baskets so to speak.

This went over about as well as it could, especially when he announced that he entrusted the care of his son Verin to the party. His wife and daughter were to be taken into asylum elsewhere, but he would keep in encrypted contact for as long as he can muster.

He figured that someone like Orm, who could pay up a fortune for the retrieval of his son would be too powerful to underestimate, especially when Orm wanted to control him.

With dinner practically ruined by the advent of future events, the party spent the night in the luxury of Arken's house before being taken to another of Arken's friends. In particular, an astromech droid named E5-Z18 who had modified himself many a time over to include a very obvious vocabulator, a tea dispenser, a credit slot, and numerous folding vibrosaws for battle.

E5 managed a foodstuffs warehouse that doubled as a weapons and starship testing lab.

Before going, Zendral negotiated with Arken that he would require a transport ship before he accepted. Issilum on the other hand accepted to keep going on the grounds that Arken quit politics after this was over. Arken agreed to both demands.

Verin himself refused to say goodbye to his father as the party was leaving, even after saying goodbye to his mother and little sister, until the party demanded him into doing so.

E5 helped the party by offering to upgrade weapons and equipment with the right amount of credits and materials.

At the warehouse, the party wasted no time in deciding to get more to the bottom of what the Tusken Raiders know of Verin's kidnapping by paying their leader a visit...

The Prince of Demons was rising and the party began to panic. None of them were skilled or prepared enough to handle the demon. They had only met the creature a week ago and he briefly drove them insane.As it contineud to climb as it's screeches grew louder. A deep roar could be heard as a red dragon with a heavily armored humanoid riding rammed themselves into Demogorgon knocking back down into the the underdark. The dragon released its fiery breath causing some dirt and rock to weakly seal the chasm.

The Bard had recognized the armored dragong rider. It was a Paladin of Talona, without a second thought, Kaiger turned to the druid.

"Turn into a rat then into something big!"

"Okay..."

Villagen Taro warpped himself into a rat and the barbarian snatched the rodent before it could hit the ground. He round up his arm and threw the party's druid at the dragon. Villagen Taro turned into a bear at the moment of pack digging it's claws into the dragon scales. The paladin turned baffled that there was a bear now on his mount. He got up and drew his flaming greastword and batted the bear off the dragon. Taro found himself flying yet again and crashing to the ground. He felt the bones in his bear form crush and twist in a mangle fashion before returning into his human form where the sensation continued.

It was honestly a miracle that he had managed to survive.

Whether it was arrogance or apathy, the Paladin took off without giving the party a second thought.

Ulthang quickly patched up the mangled druid and the party decided the only thing left to do was to move forward.

After fighting to the Tusken Raiders Leader's location, they found that he knew little else other than the money he would get from Orm for kidnapping Verin, he did spill the beans over a strange looking starship engine he had attained.

It had belonged to a crashed ship, and that a company known as Emeriss Arms had been wanting it back.

Zendral was once an employee of Emeriss Arms, before he found out that they had kidnapped his sister, after which he went rogue, broke Polis out of the fighting rings on the Chiss homeworld of Csilla, and then escaped from the base on a stolen Nsiss Clawcraft after being confronted by his former boss who insisted that his sister was safe. In the end, Zendral and Polis crashed the stolen Clawcraft onto Coruscant where they had been trying to find work ever since- until getting tangled in Arken's concerns.

What really piqued Zendral's interest was the money that Emeriss was paying for the return of the clawcraft, telling him there was something more to it that he cared to know.

Over the course of the next couple of days, the party had found the locations of the other Clawcraft parts, which were mostly under the care of several other Coruscant street gangs, with one under Emeriss's control already.

While the party gathered the fragments and made friends and enemies with various other gangs, a primitive world known as Plathuui was decimated in low orbit by Mandalore the Reborn's vessels.

Despite footage of the peaceful goat-men looking sentients getting their medieval looking homes vaporized by blaster cannon fire, Jedi Grandmaster Dalbar announced he could do nothing about this...

After getting the Nsiss Clawcraft part controlled by Emeriss Arms from the planet of Duro (Where more of Kader's backstory was revealed and had earned himself a reputation as a bounty hunter nicknamed as "Rok'Ulor", which was a legendary beast that terrified the pre-spaceflight Duros long ago through the jungle's branches), the party had learned much more about their quarry named Orm.

Orm was a Hutt and was the leader of an galaxy spanning slave trading organization known as the Galactic Axis, and was specifically curious about force sensitive slaves.

Verin also managed to escape from the grasp of the party and tried sneaking out again. When the party returned to E5's warehouse that night, he was standing beside the famous Twi'lek Jedi Master named Keiran and a human girl his age.

Keiran explained that he heard a call for help from the two kids while he was on his way to a meeting to find that they were surrounded by thugs. Keiran then escorted Verin and his girlfriend back to the warehouse, and the rest was history.

Keiran stated that he will keep the location of this place a secret as he understands the need for investigators in times like these. He then left as abruptly as he had shown up. (Keiran was against Taral joining the Jedi Order).

Verin spoke about how he was going to see his girlfriend when Keiran got him out of the mess, but now with his girlfriend named Henea in the know, she can't go back home without endangering the mission.

Verin was about to "retire" with his girlfriend, when Orwell grabbed him and told him that he didn't deserve a woman if he can't protect her.

Then and there did Verin take up the challenge of physical training, led by Orwell, Polis, and Visase.

Henea did later raise a stink about not being able to go back home after all, but in the end stuck with Verin due to lack of any other options...

But the party, wanting to learn more of the Galactic Axis, discovered their outpost on Coruscant, where they hoped to get a glimpse of the kinds of things that they were capable of.

After wrecking the slavers, they found that Orm and Mand'alore the Reborn have been working in tandem. At this time, Orm was going after the primitive world of Feibraxa in hopes to gather their primitive, yet strongly force sensitive population like they had on Plathuu.

The party rescued from the outpost a Wookie named Wooshgruuw who seemed more a victim of circumstance than anything else who swore a life debt to the party. The party also managed to force a chubby, guilt ridden Plathuui named Niuulaj to come with them by knocking him unconscious and then carrying him out.

Niuulaj stayed with the others in the Warehouse while Verin trained and improved himself physically, taking injuries and wounds with renewed vigor that was clearly an effort to impress his girlfriend who was more often than not buried nose deep in an anatomy textbook to learn how to do medicine better.

On the in betweens, Arken Taro had contacted the party about how Emeriss Arms had been assigned to construct a massive space platform over Coruscant's sun, and that he and his fellow senators had to take a tour of the massive structure. To Arken, he found little to indicate it being a platform, as it instead had more the workings of a factory within it. The other senators laughed him off as being paranoid, but Arken held firm. What also worried Arken was how quickly the place had been constructed, like it had been built ahead of time and was just awaiting the "go".

With little else, the party set off to the primitive world of Feibraxa, where they hoped to learn more of the Galactic Axis, and why they are targeting so many Force Sensitives...

Feibraxa was a planet orbiting close to its red dwarf star, and when the party broke atmosphere, they found an enormous stone city where numerous transport ships flew in and out of while the party themselves landed in the mountains.

The party soon met with one of the Serpentine/Insectoid looking Feibrax by the name of Nanshe, who spoke telepathically into the minds of the party, and proving to them her race's natural strength with the Force.

She told the party to help unite the nomadic Feibrax as their arrival was prophesied. Polis almost shot them to prove the prophecy wrong, but eventually restrained himself.

While searching, the party found a force crystal studded cavern where the personalities of the numerous Feibrax are interred after death to resonate forever in the crystals. When the party calmed a Feibrax matriarch studying the dark side within the cave down, the party was beset by the projection of Jedi Grandmaster Dalbar.

Dalbar has about 200 years in the past arrived on the planet while he was chasing down what he sensed was an enemy he faced down before. The enemy was known as the Vanguard of Vision; an offshoot of the Sith Order that had survived even after Darth Krayt's supersoldiers turned on the Sith years ago. The Vanguard was devoted to seeing Krayt's vision of a unified galaxy come true, but Dalbar ensured its demise in glorious combat.

Dalbar told the party of where he was heading to to discover more of the force signature, and in case he had fallen to the dark side, his weaknesses so he could be dealt with...

The rest of the time, the party devoted to uniting the Feibrax tribes, and in the process, the party had blown up the docks and transports that the Galactic Axis had on Feibraxa, but not before extorting more information from a dying Galactic Axis operative who was disgruntled that he wasn't entrusted to be the prophet to the primitive Feibrax. His name was Vyr, and explained that Orm was the name his employer Dijiec took on as part of a business deal.

With the docks destroyed, the party and the reunited Feibrax were to storm the walls of the great city, but not before Nanshe explained how the first world was destroyed, and how it was by a great flood called upon by a dark sorceress Martriarch named Neshugat. Today, Neshugat and her servants' essences survives within an enormous jagged red force crystal found within the royal ziggurat. The matriarch found within the force crystal caves named Nahunexe volunteered to go with the party to try out her new "Spells".

When the party broke through the walls and stormed the ziggurat, they found the other Axis official who served as the Feibrax's prophet named Kosslesh. Kosslesh served to tell the Feibrax that their world was doomed and their only hope for salvation is to go into the stars. Then when all of them have been taken, the destroyer of the world in the form of Mand'alore the Reborn will come and carpet bomb the planet clean.

The party fought a harsh battle, that ended with Kosslesh getting possessed by Neshugat before calling upon the elemental forces via the Dark Side upon the heads of the party. Thanks to Nahunexe's exorcisms, Neshugat was forced out of Kosslesh's body before he was burned in the magma of Neshugat's creation.

Kosslesh dropped his datapad which projected the image of Jedi Grandmaster Dalbar, announcing the arrival of Mand'alore the Reborn, and that it was time to evacuate. When he realized he was talking to the party, he changed his tone to be more threatening before signing off...

The party took the datapad while Nahunexe called upon Neshugat from the crystal to use her immense Force power to destroy the fleet coming down upon their heads. Rushing back to their transport ship, the party left the planet by weaving past the Force Lightning storms which the Mandalorian ships seem to be resisting like a Jedi would...

When the Party arrived at the place Grandmaster Dalbar went to, they found a research station where they found texts studying Darth Krayt's loyal and powerful Super Soldiers, as well as synthesizing and making loyal the Midichlorians (Midichlorians exists as microscopic sentient creatures that, when found in large enough concentrations in one, can grant the creature power over the force, and sensitivity to it.)

Along the way, Taral announced to his own master named Jedi Master Dreskel about the corruption of Grandmaster Dalbar. Dreskel took the news as well as he could, and did what he had to do.

Taking some time to read from Kosslesh's datapad, they learned of other names. This Orm/Dijiec also has to deal with a creepy man named "Maccus", and the name "Unus" showed up as well. Also, that Plathuu was treated in much the same manner Feibraxa was- their force sensitive peoples taken away, and those who resisted be left behind or worse.

Returning back to Coruscant, the party found another lead back down in Coruscant's depths, involving the scientist named "Bik Nasod" who had worked immensely with the Kaminoans during the Clone Wars making breakthroughs with cloning.

The party decided to get to that the next morning when they've all rested up.

The next morning, the streets were in chaos due to the revelations of Grandmaster Dalbar's treacheries. With Dalbar getting locked up with neural dampeners, Jedi Master Keiran was put on the job to be promoted to Grandmaster, while Emperor Sarvak Fel and Arken Taro both worked to calm the populace down.

Keiran announced his desire to see the party and discuss the matter of Visase joining the Jedi order (On both Dreskel's and Taral's recommendations), but first he would have to clean up the mess Dalbar left behind.

While Keiran did that, the party set out to investigate Bik Nasod's lab. In the end, Polis found many of the cloning instruments familiar, since he was more or less raised by the Kaminoans for much of his childhood as a biological curiosity.

Things got too familiar for Polis who had found his own mentor's clone stand before him in a dirty lab room surrounded in tanks of clones of him. Polis' mentor Zon Fus spoke of how excited he was that he finally got to perfect his clones after 3000 years of constant research, and constant cloning of himself and his memories within each one. Each Polis clone was absolutely loyal to him, and to his master that helped him make this possible. During the discussion, he mentioned Palpatine and Krayt as previous masters, which got the party on edge.

This was especially so when they defeated the clones and the Zon Fus clone, only for Zon Fus to demand that Polis kill him in the most horrifying way so as to show his master the kind of power you hold. Then after Polis broke all of Zon Fus' limbs, he tore Zon Fus asunder.

The party soon left the abandoned cloning facility, only to hear the sound of screaming from down the darkened street which soon sounded familiar- like the scream of Arken's wife Rea, and their daughter Thirra...

The party arrived just in time to see a bounty point his blaster pistol at Thirra Taro only for Rea Taro to use her force sensitivity to unwittingly invoke a Dark Side power that involves death in grueling agony.

With the party soon rescuing their dying bodyguard, the party reasoned to bring the rest of the family with them to see what Arken thinks up next in terms of their safety.

Answering the summons of the Jedi Order, the party arrived at the Jedi Council's hall where the newly ordained Jedi Grandmaster Keiran presided over the council. At his sides was Jedi Master Evarr Dreskel- Taral's master. Jedi Master Rooth Ank- who deemed Visase back in her childhood as being too risky to train, due to her tendency towards the dark side, Master Yana Lish who herself was quiet but spoke when necessary, and Jedi Master Camth Drucas who had arrived from the Jedi Temple built on Hoth after much of the order had suddenly disappeared.

(Neglected to mention that Dalbar ordered for the Jedi to evaculate back when the party was looking to put together the Clawcraft. The masters obeyed the council, but since then, the force grew dark, and the Jedi can no longer be sensed. The motives were still unclear.)

Camth Drucas kept a very laid back approach and said many things that were off color, but otherwise presided because Keiran let him.

Keiran then went over the agenda...

Keiran's first point was how Taral was only accepted in because Dalbar broke the tie in the vote. Keiran questioned, now that Dalbar has been ousted, if the Order should still respect that vote. In the end, the vote was to keep Taral in.

The second was whether or not to accept Visase into the order. In the end, Visase was still struggling with changes, but she was no longer "The Grey Witch" since these events unfurled. With reluctance, Visase was accepted in.

From there Keiran explained his own plan for how he will see to cleaning up this mess that is Mand'alore the Reborn and the Galactic Axis. Keiran would send Jedi Master Camth Drucas to lead the charge against Mand'alore the Reborn, and that Supreme Commander Thaz Welk had been perfecting a battle plan over the last 20 years to take back Thorov.

In the meanwhile he is entrusting the party with ending the Galactic Axis and end their threat of kidnapping Force Sensitives once and for all.

Zendral left that discussion due to Keiran insisting on keeping Emeriss on the payroll in order to keep a tab of them.

At that, Arken led the party out of the room to reconvene with his wife who has since been healed by the Jedi Healers to discuss the next course of action...

Arken explained to the gathered party that the best bet towards finding Dijiec- leader of the Galactic Axis was to discuss with his brother in law, the pirate Tavish Brix.

Rea Taro angrily lashed out at her husband for keeping in contact with her excommunicated brother, and despite Arken's comforting, Rea wasn't having it. Orwell's face contorted with the thought of having to deal with his former owner again, but with little other choice, the party prepared to return to E5's warehouse with the rest of Arken's family in tow.

When the party returned, they admired the reconstructed Nsiss Clawcraft that Zendral and Polis had stolen from Csilla only weeks ago. This time, Visase, Hartel, and Tarel sensed a void in the ship's engine area that hurts immensely when focused on. Nonetheless, the clawcraft was brought into their transport ship's hangar, and was then launched up to where Tavish Brix was to meet them.

Appearing in an empty patch of space, Tavish Brix tried to intimidate the party only for him to see his sister Rea, and then his former bodyguard Orwell. Orwell swung his axe at Tavish's image to watch him duck away as the transport neared Tavish's Corellian Corvette.

On board, Tavish kept trying to charade himself out to be a tough pirate despite everyone seeing through it, before Tavish went down to business, explaining three possible places to find leads on where Dijiec would be found.

One of those leads was the Pleasure Palace of the notorious Azed Ther; Co-Founder of the Galactic Axis which would be found on the planet of Naboo. The next lead was to the wormy governor of the now rundown Cloud City on the gas giant of Bespin named Hasel Pilen. The last lead was to Ryloth where one of Dijiec's agents named Brulu Aloc has taken control of a sports team in the nation known as Onek'weg.

Hartel was distrought to hear the last part, but despite his desire to set things right, he acknowledged that Azed Ther would be the better lead...

The party had to sneak through Naboo's pleasure palace, even though Azed Ther wasn't home. The party managed to freeze an amorous couple in carbonite, and release the entire zoo full of scary animals out and rampaging throughout the place.

Only having to rewire security and destroy the guard droid guarding Azed Ther's room did the party find the juicy bits on his computer.

According to the files, Dijiec was paid by Orm to call himself Orm, and to cooperate with him to deliver force sensitives for a lucrative price. This soon devolved into Dijiec becoming more and more concerned in the messages about other implications, especially after talking to Emeriss Arms CEO Valen'resh'inrokini about what he does with the Force Sensitives once he gets them. He only responded that he kept them in a large platform within Chiss space for use in building a factory, and then regretted to say that he knows little else, other than the fact that the plans to build it were given to him by Orm as a gift from the one known as Unus.

It also spoke in length of Maccus, who showed the Galactic Axis how to subdue primitive civilizations, while personally showing how to do so with the planet of Plathuu. It also spoke in length of the cruelty Maccus showed to one Plathuui named Niuulaj who had used the force to murder his wife like it was nothing while cowing him into revealing the townsfolk he hid in his manor house.

In the end, Dijiec ended up on the run with an encrypted message to keep from being found.l.

With all that they need, the party left from Naboo that night and then returned to Tavish Brix's ship.

Having returned, Tavish announced having rescued a transport ship from a derelict dwarf planet that contained a Jedi Master and several youngbloods and caretakers...

The Jedi Master explained how he had received Dalbar's order to evacuate, but he and the other Jedi Masters were secretly given data chips that should only be read once loaded onto the transport ship. The chips read out the orders- the Pilots of the transports cannot be trusted. Subdue the pilot, and take the transport somewhere safe and isolated, and then continue the youngblood's education there.

On the way to Bespin, the party found Tavish Brix on a hospital bed with heavy bandages over his chest. After the party asked him several snarky questions about his wound, Tavish insisted that his crew was rowdy and stabbed him in the chest. Orwell didn't buy it at all, but in due time, they made it to Bespin, where Dijiec's plant Hasel Pilen reigns as Cloud City's mayor.

The city is a battlefield, where much of the city are criminals, and ever since the destruction of Plathuu, the city became a refuge center for Plathuui refugees. Amongst their number was combatants who called themselves the G'Nathir who emphasize strength and endurance where the Jedi emphasize wisdom and grace.

The G'Nathir serve to protect their own, as well as Hasel Pilen, which could serve as a problem.

Fortunately for the party, it wasn't; except for them having to face off against two who controlled Bespin's cloudy weather into fierce storms and intense calm.

Capturing Hasel Pilen after that was a piece of cake, after his escape pod hatch got blocked by debris.

This left only Ryloth to remain...

When the party returned to Tavish Brix's ship, an alert went out to an X-Wing that turned up on the radar. The bandaged Tavish announced that it was probably a deserter, and then used the ship's tractor beam to bring the ship inside the hangar. Once inside, the party was able to convince Tavish to stand down and let them do the talking.

The cadet flying the X-Wing spoke of how he was part of the first wave against the planet of Thorov. They were doing great against Mand'alore, in fact, they weren't sure they were even using the advanced ships of the past when they started taking them down.

Then the 2nd wave of Federation ships arrived, and immediately began to fire at his wave in a barrage of intentional friendly fire. The pilot, who introduced himself hasily as Yun Brodal stated that his astromech calculated an error in the ship's blockade formation in order to jump to hyperspace through that corridor.

When Arken returned, he listened to Yun's story, and immediately decided to investigate that attack further.

Then as Tavish's ship entered into hyperspace towards Ryloth, the party watched a news report of Camth Drucas and a reporter speaking at length about how Mand'alore the Reborn has challenged Camth to personal combat after his victory over Thorov.

During the report, the fat Plathuui entered into the room to see the report, only to drop what food he had in his hands before he angrily broke down. The party quickly extrapolated from that that Camth Drucas was Maccus.

Quickly letting Jedi Master Dreskel know, Dreskel recommended not trusting the Jedi Order as a whole anymore. At this time, he and another Jedi Knight had been doing their own research on the disappearances of the Jedi, and to let him know of any updates...

Ryloth proved to be messy. Hartel was sure he would have inherited the royalties to the Hoopin' Slam game as his father Clars would have written in his will before getting shot dead by the Twi'lek Serial Killer nicknamed as "The Reborn Elder".

While the battle to fight to prove that Hartel would be in his father's will was there, the connections Hartel's father Clars had was staggeringly concerning.

Clars had known Keiran since he was a little kid, but Keiran had been taken away to join the Jedi. During that time, the "Reborn Elder" had killed Keiran's family, but when Keiran returned to Ryloth to visit Clars, he was amazingly peaceful about it. Still, Keiran helped Clars make money to help his failing farm. Keiran and his friends have invented a force reactive dust that can be altered and shaped by the user. Of course, the more durable dust is in the hands of Keiran's friends, Keiran was willing to offer Clars the more fragile stuff- the stuff that would break on an explosion. That sport was developed into "Hoopin' Slam", the sport Hartel was promoting throughout the galaxy.

The diary did get dark towards the end, when Clars changed the heir from "Eridanos" to "Unus", and when another Jedi visited his farm named Lire Nok who knew that there was no Eridanos or Unus in the Jedi order. Lire stated to Clars that she would investigate Keiran. She was never seen again.

Keiran then threatened Clars to stop digging dirt on him, but Clars clearly didn't stop- because The Reborn Elder was the one who shot him. But still, he was caught that day.

When the party confronted the Reborn Elder in prison, the Reborn Elder spoke in riddles, but when the party asked about if the Sith were behind all of this, he could only nod his head.

Once the will was squared away to read Hartel's name and not Unus', and after Brulu Aloc was jailed, the party returned to Tavish Brix...

Back with Tavish Brix, Tavish extolled the good news that his code breaker managed to decrypt the encryption on Dijiec's location from Azed Ther's E-mail. He found that he has established himself on a hidden asteroid base.

At Tavish's mark, and making sure that his family was inside of the party's transport ship and, after Orwell made a deal with Tavish and Arken; Tavish's other two gamorrean bodyguards named Korech and Voroth as well.

With everyone on board, the transport shot down towards the asteroid, and after shooting through the flimsy hangar door, entered inside of the hastily constructed fortress.

Once inside, the shields around the fortress erected as Tavish claimed that he had no other choice.

As Orwell shouted threats at Tavish, a figure he knows all too well entered into his sights- an Aqualish Bounty Hunter named Toba Gra.

(Toba Gra was a big figure in Orwell's backstory who worked for Orwell's first owner as a bounty hunter before betraying him, and killing him off. Orwell knew that since he was the sole survivor that he would be the target one day.)

Toba Gra gloated as he looked inside the transport. But when Toba spotted Rea, Thirra, and Verin inside, Toba socked Tavish in the face for making him lose out on a hefty bonus.

Then Toba pulled out a detonator, but when he pushed the button, it was Tavish's corellian corvette that exploded- and not the fortress.

At that, Toba immediately shot Tavish and rushed to the hangar.

Immediately after, the party got a message from Tavish Brix from the killswitch he stuck into his chest that detailed where Dijiec was actually hiding (On Corellia), as well as a long emotional remainder that was addressed to his family that detailed his last thoughts and how much he regret the path of piracy he chose, along with a thanks to Orwell for making him stand up for his family in the end.

(Neglected to describe that part. Forgive me, it's very late.)

With haste, the party set a course for Corellia.

lrn 2 prose faggot

After passing through security at Corellia, the Party soon caught up to Toba Gra who had taken the liberty of finding and attempting to kill Dijiec. Dijiec however managed to escape on a hutt sized car complete with an energy shield and laser turrets.

With Dijiec rushing away on the Corellian highways, a passenger train shot by underneath where Toba was standing, such that Toba could land on the roof of the train where he could target his custom rifle to take Dijiec the Hutt out.

Right behind Toba was the party who all leaped down on the same train to meet him in battle.

Toba called the police to assist him as Dijiec's allys were trying to obstruct justice.

The whole battle from there was jumping between cars and trains, and dealing with the flying police cars when they come- that and trying to outmaneuver Toba Gra.

During the battle, Dijiec announced to the party that if he survives, he'll provide the coordinates to where he had been sending the Force Sensitives. The party begrudgingly accepted the Hutt's offer.

Ultimately, the battle ended when Orwell picked up the wounded Toba Gra, and then let the car behind him smash hard into his head. The shock of the attack caused Orwell to drop Toba into the depths of Corellia below.

After getting the coordinates from Dijiec, Dijiec escaped from the planet, and soon so did the party.

Before the party went to where the force sensitives were delivered, the party went back to Coruscant where they delivered the family into E5's new hideout that he had secured.

(Secured because the party told Arken Taro that they were certain that Keiran was infact Orm)

While there, Arken delivered the party camera droids that were microscopic that were to be used to gather footage for his broadcast that he wants to show to everyone in the Federation all of the wrongs they had ever committed. Arken has the proof, but now all he needs is the shock. The party will need to provide that shock.

The coordinates brought the party to a region of Unknown Space where a lone space station looms. Along the way, a black robed tattooed man by the name of Darth Temnoz greeted them, and warned them to watch for debris along the way.

That debris wound up being more Plathuui and Feibrax bodies that were jettisoned from the space station, floating helplessly into the void.

The party followed Temnoz a little deeper into the empty facility to find themselves staring through the glass to see a room the size of the space station packed with more Plathuui, Feibrax, and Jedi both young and old. In the very center of the room was a large complex metallic core that flashed and pulsed sporadically.

Temnoz explained how the space station over Coruscant's star only needs its power source. The power source being one that hungers continuously for the force. To provide that hunger, it needs a civilization's worth of force sensitive people.

During that time, the holoprojector on the control panel opened up to show the holo-projection of Camth Drucas (Darth Maccus), now holding the mask of Mand'alore and eating dinner, all the while complaining about Mandalorian cooking.

Just as soon as that happened, Orwell tried to strike at Temnoz in anger, only for Temnoz to teleport to the farther side of the room. Maccus sat back and watched the fight while providing the party with advice in how to get the upper hand over Temnoz, while also turning on the gravity machine.

In the end, Temnoz was chopped up and shot through. Maccus then told the party that Darth Orm knew of E5's other hidden hideout, as E5 failed to protect himself from Force Sight, but that can't be helped.

In short, the hideout was attacked, and some of Arken's family was taken away while others died. Maccus then recommended against going after himself just yet since he does have an army, and will take him some time to mobilize.

With that, the party returned to Coruscant where they see to making their stand.

Returning to E5's hideout, they found several deaths have occured, but Arken's wife and daughter have been kidnapped while the party was away. Verin was determined to help get them back, and thanks to the party's training, he can use a blaster pistol now. His bodyguard Korot was very insistent on him not fighting, but after some arguing, compromises are made, in that Verin cannot stray too far away from Korot.

Arken immediately put the footage to use while the party made plans on how to break through the Galactic Senate building and the Jedi Temple- where Darth Orm was no doubt hiding.

Despite having many allies, they won't be enough in the long haul. The plan was to go the prisons beneath the Law Enforcement level and release the prisoners they find. Then from there progress upwards to the Jedi Temple.

Even with a plan, this was going to be an expensive endeavor.

When the party attacked, things went down:

>Taral convinced the police wall in front of the Law Enforcement story to stand down and fight the Sith instead (Done with a Destiny Point)
>The Jedi Masters and Jedi Grandmaster Dalbar rescued.
>Taking on all of the Imperial Knights alongside Sarvak Fel's personal body guards at once (With help from the Jedi)
>Playing Bumper Cars with the Galactic Senate in another battle.
>Rescuing Thirra Taro from the Anzati Sith Lord Darth Băutor who disables usage of the Force and restores himself. Rea did not survive.
>Arken Taro got to see his children one last time before getting shot in the head by a Cyborg Toba Gra.

After sustaining heavy casualties all around, they realized that the Dark Lord of the Sith named Darth Unus was closing in based on reports from the outside. They realized that Darth Orm was likely waiting for them in the Triumvirate Tower...

When the party made their way inside of the tower, they found Keiran (Darth Orm) looking out over Coruscant as it riots and raves. Whatever words the party spoke, Orm spat them back at them. When it soon became clear that words were getting nowhere, the first shots were fired from Zendral's blaster pistols.

That battle saw Orm make many illusionary copies of himself that could inflict very real damage. As the copies burned away, Orm's force signatures became visible to the force sensitives, to which they had to strike at the correct one.

After three such direct hits, Orm crumpled away, turning into dust; dust that Hartel recognizes as force reactive dust from his game- only a lot more sturdy.

Just then, the door to the lookout opened up, where a dark cloaked Darth Unus is standing on the other end. At his side was a long handled lightsaber. All Unus demanded from the party and from the Jedi was to leave and allow him to take over.

He insisted their deaths would be wasteful if done right now, and that the resistance they pulled off against him warmed his heart. But now that they had their resistance, he wanted to have his seat as head of the Galactic Federation.

Without much other choice, the party stepped down, and called for the transport to pick them up. The other Jedi soon followed suit, getting ready for their own exile.

(Pic related, it's Darth Unus)

As the party left, Unus sat down upon the Jedi Grandmaster's chair in the Triumvirate.

(End of Episode I. The actual game isn't as cut down as the above story, and I'm not too happy with this summary of it. Still, it's a free story. Take it or leave it.)

Here's a writeup I did for my "World of Xoth" campaign for Pathfinder. It was for an NPC by the name of Sigvald.
pastebin.com/FHr6FVcm

It was the year something-something in the elven kingdom of whatever-it's-called.
My party and I were on a mission to convince the king to send military aid to the neighbooring dwarven kingdom that had been overrun by orcs.
We were level 3 characters, a dick-ass charletan rogue (halfelf), an impulsive dragonborn fighter from a minor noble family, a human ranger, a halfling monk, a fire genasi druid that had just joined and me, a human wizard, the only lawful character in the bunch.
I had joined the party to settle a debt, one that now had been repaid, so I was running out of reasons for why I was tagging along with a bunch of murderhobos. The reason I still had left was that I considered myself to be the moral compass of the group, their conscious. They did not see it that way.
To the rest of the group the wizard was a nag. The annoying kid in class that would tattle to the teacher about stuff nobody cared about. We had arrived in the elven kingdom via cart, stolen by the rogue from now homeless refugees. (He had written his name on it to try and convince us it was his property.) When the wizard complained about stealing from the poor and downtrodden the fighter beat him to an inch of his life and he woke up with his wounds stabalized lying in the cart, well underway to their next destination. (Although, to be fair, he may have used some racial slurs against all sorts of non-humans to provoke such an attack.)
Our ranger had led us through the woods, were we had encountered an owlbear, caring for its young, that, after incapacitating by chopping off one of its claws, the party took pity on and tried to heal it by clumsily sewing the claw back on and stealing the cub to be their pet. The wizard nagged about the insanity of it all but was quickly shut up by the fighter. This time only by the threat of violence.

Anyway, I digress, the ranger had let us through the woods and over a frozen river, for which, as we later learned, it was illegal for humans to cross because of an ancient treaty.
To make amends with the elves we had to help them save some prisoners from an orc camp before they would bring us to their leader.
So we did that. My wizard character was specialized in enchantment and the rogue was proficient with a disguise kit so we managed to infiltratie the camp disguised as orc grunts. There we sneakily undid the shackles of the elven prisoners and told them to wait for the rest of the party to start a diversion before escaping.
The rest of the party was outside with a cadre of elven warriors, starting trouble, their idea of a diversion was just attacking the camp. Eventually it led to an all-out battle. A lot of elven soldiers died, more than the amount of prisoners we were saving I think, but even more orcs and eventually we had managed a minor genocide. We had wiped out the entire camp.
The wizard wanted to go to the elven capitol as fast as possible, war was waging, every day people were dying. But the rest of the party wanted to chase a hill giant the orcs had been poking with sticks. So they actually split up, with the human wizard going on ahead and the others trying to run after the druid, who had changed into an eagle, flying after the giant and never catching up to them.

Anyway, that's the prologue, now comes the story I wanted to tell. It's a story of betrayal, scheming and rather large-scale arsony.

My character, the wizard, had arrived at the capitol first. Thankful for the temporary respite and enjoying the peace and quiet. The elven capitol, not an urban place but a forest grown in the shape of a city, was quite a peaceful place. That would soon change.
When the rest of the party arrived, about a day later, he had already managed to arrange an audience with the monarch and they could all attend together. The elf king was pretty condescending, his attitude was that non-elves get fucked over by orcs all the time and this really wasn't such a large scale incident as we thought it was. It would pass like all problems that didn't affect them did. His grandson, sitting next to him, was the real D-bag though. I don't think he used the phrase "filthy non-elves, stinking up the place." But he was clearly thinking it. He thought we were being disrespectful and fell out against us multiple times, needing to be hushed by his grandfather.
We left the palace defeated. We would never convince the elven kingdom to unite with the rest of the continent against this world-ending threat like this.

Luckily opportunity presented itself, opportunity in the shape of a green dragon. We were approached by an elf, he told his that his master would reward us dearly if we killed the king. It was clearly a shady deal. But sometimes you need to make a deal with the devil for the greater good, so we took the opportunity to get someone in power that was more favorable to us and might be willing to grant us a request or two.
So we sat down and planned this thing out. Or rather, I planned this thing out, which would explain why the others decided to do what they did later on.
The plan was that while the rogue and wizard would sneak into the palace (the wizard would prepare an invisibility spell) the others would create a diversion to get the guards to leave their positions and come maintain the order. This 'diversion' soon turned into a case of homocidal terrorism but I'll get back on that.
In order not to incriminate our employer that was supposed to swoop in and take over for political assisination we decided to frame the prince for the murder of his grandfather. What I would do is go to the prince's quarters, tie him down (shoddily), demonstrably turn into the king, using disguise self and announce my evil plan to pretend to be the king that day to grant our parties request. The prince would then later kill his own grandfather, thinking it was me, and be killed by us before he could explain. Making us heroes and him the villain.
We even prepared by spreading rumors that the prince was trying to take over the throne.
When we were in the castle we realized that we didn't know the layout, however. So we wandered aimlessly until we came to a royal bedroom.

Meanwhile the diversion had gotten a bit out of hand. What had started as a barfight was turning into a mass murder. The dragonborn used his breath weapon on the bar with alcoholic drinks with the express purpose of making a fiery explosion. It worked, the building was now on fire, along with the bodies of the dead and near-dead taverngoers.
They jumped out of the windows (the ones opposite of where they had thrown the guards out of of course), realized they had left their pet owlbear inside, jumped back in to retrieve it and jumped back out. Then killed the guards that were there. They were having so much fun they decided to go on a pubcrawl and do this at more places.
The royal bedroom turned out to belong to the king himself, we realized it would be easier to kill him while disguised as his grandson. So we did that. We walked by the guards and when we arrived the wizard, in elf prince form, loudly ordered the rogue to kill his grandfather, the king. Then he fleed, turning invisible at the end of the hallway.
The rogue, who had gotten lucky when rolling his stats had no trouble killing the king and defeating the guards, one of which ran after the 'prince' to try and apprehend him.
That's about when the stolen cart, filled with barrels of alcohol from taverns all over town rolled up to the palace and was ignited by one of the druid's fire spells.
There was a a sea of flame, the entire front of the palace, which was made of woof need I remind you, was obliterated by the explosion. Along with the corpse of the king, the rogue and the witness we had purposefully let escape.

The wizard wasn't unharmed either but despite his wounds he managed to stabalize the rogue and drag him out of the burning building, feinting from the accumulated fire damage himself after jumping out of the window.when he came by he started shouting to his party members about the everything. The fighter punched him out again.
Enfin, the elves were a bit pissed off and the entire military had been mobilized by now but luckily the dragon quickly swooped in and used his poison breath to kill the whole regiment in two turns. It seemed wise to just make him king after that.
The dragon, I think his name was Severus, told us he would grant us all a favor.
Naturally we asked him to aid the dwarven nation in their fight against the orcs. He agreed with a dismissive hand gesture.
The rogue asked for gold.
So did the ranger, druid and monk.
The fighter wisely asked for a magic weapon.
The wizard, he asked for a new cart... for the poor refugees from the orc overrun city who were missing one.
I eventually ended up replacing that character with a new one that fit in the group better. We ruled that the wizard had been killed by his party members.
