USH'S GAME EPISODE V- 'MAUSOLEUM'- DARK SIDE AREA

Wraith ignites his green and blue lightsabers and deflects as many bolts as he can back at Galder, letting others hit the ground next to him. He jumps up, twirling his blades in defense.

Galder deflects the bolts away, in no where in particular.

"Ready to take a few pointers in the ways of the lightsaber, Wraith?" Galder asks with another devilish grin.

"Pointers? I need no pointers, Galder. Just because you have been with Kuylen longer than I have has no effect on how good with a blade you are..."

"Are you sure about that? I am certain my men would care to attest to that..." Galder says, twirling his red lightsaber idly.

"You know, Galder, I have never seen you fight with just one blade..."

"That is because I fight easier with two. I am more likely to win..." Galder smirks. He keeps Wraith on edge by firing the stun pistol at Wraith's feet.

"Then I challenge you to a fight with one blade only," Wraith says firmly. "I may have only been on Nar Shaddaa with Kuylen and now here, but I may be better than you can possibly imagine."

Galder bursts out laughing. Through chuckles, he blurts out his words. "You? You are...*chuckle*...challenging me? To a fight!?" His laughter increases. "I accept your challenge, but it is a foolish idea."

Wraith, goaded on by Galder's laughing, lashes at him with his green lightsaber, turning off his blue one, aiming for the throat.

Galder swings upwards and knocks Wraith's blade up as well. He then kicks Wraith in the stomach. "Challenged accepted, Wraith," Galder says, cutting the laughter and becoming suddenly stern.

Rah turns to his troops "Learn the lesson from Captains Galder and Wraith! See how they appear to so easily lose control when they are supposed to be just demonstrating to their troops" He indicates the duel taking place "I tell you now, each is a highly skilled warrior and to fight with such earnest will strike fear into your enemy. If you can fight like this without losing control then your enemies will fall! You must learn to be like them" Turning back to his troops "Now go and practise against one another, goad each other and really mean it, give in to the hate from the curses you hear. Fight but dont kill! That pleasure will come later..." Rah turns away to watch the duel with amusment.

Takuan gathers his zeitonians to him, wathing the conflict between his fellows.
"this is ridiculous" mutters Takuan to them
"you can learn a lot from this, my minions. Don't be fouled and distracted by anything that comes in your way. You wil wear out too quickly if you agitate and stray outside your goal. The dark side is much more than mere challenges and insults. The ones that plan their actions carefully, and act cautiously have a greater shot of achieving what they want. By THAT you reach true power."
(is it me or am i the only one sharing saar's opinions? 🙂 )

(You are the only one. 😛 )

Heh... I always suspected Takuan would like Saar...

Keep it up, gyus, this is all important stuff for me. Your training regimen will have GREAT influences on gameplay to come. For maybe the first time you are engaged in the exercise of responsbility rather than just personal gain- in a sense, you are graduating to Big School. If you want to achieve, you have to be more than just bullys with lightsabres.

(The Lieutenants have returned, btw)

"I understand..." says your Lieutenant, Takuan. "You certainly sound more like the Sith Lord of Legend than these people do."

And talking of Saar, Takuan- he is in the shadows, beckoning for you to go speak to him.

Ter'Minaw is offering rewards to those of your men that correctly guess the outcome of the dcontest of wills between Wraith and Galder. And the Lieutenants of Wraith and Galder are simply looking on- hopefully.

Galder shouts to his Leiutenant before commencing his attack on Wraith. "Gar'Veran! Spar with Leiutenant Zahn'Tin! Do not kill or maim him, but force him to the ground!"

Galder then charges at Wraith.

(Dueling thread?)

I'll do that if you want- is that what you want?

Yes! 😄

I'll probably lose, but sure! 🙂

Seeing saar, Takuan heads to him to see what he has to say

Whilst meditating Rah comes up with another training plan and a way to test the loyalty of his troops.
"TerMinaw!" Rah calls "So far you have been an exemplery student and lieutenant." Looking Ter in the eyes Rah continues "To show my appreciation I wish to give you my mark, not only will it prove to me your loyalty but will also test your ability endure pain and will allow you to come through the other side much stronger!" Rah draws his sabre "Now focus on the pain, feel the power you can draw from it and hold perfectly still, if you move or cry out, you die!" He then carefully etches an intricate mark on Ter'Minaw's left upper arm. "Now go and bring me the finest most worthy of my troops..."
