In the Dark -- Episode I -- REX's Game

"Die? I shall not!" Tyr says, and sends you flying backwards with a hard Force push. You crash onto a table.

Reeth, the head lands at Terran's feet. She screams and kicks it away. You are distracted by this, and do not notice that a Zabrak with shockboxing gloves is approaching you. He lands a solid blow on the side of your face, and you stumble.

With a reptilian hiss, I get up slowly. "You will pay for that, you wretched weakling..."

Reeth swings to rip off the hands of the Zabrak.

(Where am I? 🙁)

You've been standing your ground and deflecting bolts for most of the battle. You are in a cafe surrounded by bounty hunters. A Trandoshan runs towards you, armed with two vibro-hatchets.

"I am no weakling," Tyr says. "It is you." He charges towards you, his lightsaber off and his arms extended, hands outstretched. What is that going to do? you ask yourself. Your answer comes when a blue flash flies from his hands and tears through the air towards you. Bolts of lightning!

Reeth, you take off his right hand, and he backs down a bit. Just enough time for his pal to attack you from behind with an EMP gun. Seems they know about your mechanical parts...

KArto quickly tries to stabilise himself well on his feet and tries throwing one of his blades at the man, slightly guiding it with the force if necessary.

*I sheathe one saber and flick out my blaster, I aim at his chest and fire a few rounds*

You get him with a flick of your blade, and he's down. Nobody is coming towards you, at this point, and you can go help Master Hessel if you want...though he's holding up pretty well. He's got a ton of guys surrounding him.

He goes down, but you have to back up as his dropped hatchets nearly slice through your feet. You spin on the spot and lock blades with Terran, thinking she was an hunter.

"Hey mister," she says seductively. "I'm on your side..."

Yerssot joins the game!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It is just another day in the life of Xzex G'mal (Yerssot). Constantly hampered by bounty hunters that you easily cut down with your lightsaber, pursued by assassin droids, you have already had your fair share of action today. And you've only been awake for a few hours! Sometimes you wonder if it will ever end without you dying, and, of course, it does not. All who have come against you have failed to bring in your bounty.

Currently, you are being followed by a fellow with lots of weaponry. He's pretty good, as you've failed to lose him by now. He's a fast runner, even with that light body armor and a jet pack on. He hasn't even used the jet pack yet, except for that building to building jumping you've been doing. He's firing at you with twin blaster pistols, and chasing you towards a plaza where there seems to be a cafe...it consists of five buildings and has pillars all around with blue flames dancing on top of each.

He fires at your legs...

as soon as he fires at my legs, I jump up and land on the street, hoping to get people around me, so that he can't shoot that easily at me again

You land in the crowd gathering around the cafe. They are watching something inside, you can't tell what...

I take I have to enter the cafe rex?

(You are so smart, Yerss... 😉 )

well.. guess I run into the bar, oh mighty subtle rex

Funny...

You run into the bar, hoping to find more cover. Biggest mistake ever, you think to yourself, as you are now faced with a ton of bounty hunters. The one chasing you gives up. The men in front of you are hacked up by a strong man with a scar over one eye.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm just a simple man trying to make my way into the universe"

I pay no attention to them and walk to the bar for a Correlian Ale

I flick out two 'sabres to intercept the lightning as I get up.

A lot of people to ignore...though your calmness brings confidence to the others. Blaster bolts zip by your head as you walk up to the bar. Seeing as Reeth Qoth (genral zink) used the Force to persuade the bartender to blow his own brains out, you simply grab a cup and pour yourself a glass. An explosion occurs near you on the bar as a fireball hits it, coming from a man with a flamethrower. A Dark Jedi seems to be struggling to fight this man, since lightsabers can do little to fight flames.

The lightning crackles against your blades. Then Tyr charges you down, igniting his lightsaber again. He slashes at your legs.

I intercept his 'sabre with ope of my own, and swipe at his artificial arm with the other.

He positions himself sideways, so that he is facing to the area to your right rather than you. Your blade burns into the ground, and he ignites his second lightsaber and keeps your blade there. You are locked with him.

"You seek to kill me, do you not?" Tyr says. "You aren't doing a very good job of it."
