USH'S GAME EPISODE II- 'REVENGE'. Dark Side Area

The Coroa Jungle, Damagran, 50 miles north of K'rra Chi

Damagran is a warm planet, and this fetid jungle is worse. The power of the Dark Side is glorious; all the bantha dung you have to wade through to get to it is not so. It is hard work to be a Dark Jedi, and not always enjoyable. Mind you, there promises to be much death and destruction later, and with a purpose- guaranteeing your own security and survival, the primary task for ANY Dark Sider.

Faylar is your target. He was once your ally but never your friend. You knew he would have to be dealt with one day. But he proved more adept at politics than he seemed. He manipulated the Damagran forces, the pirates, even the Jedi themselves into trying to eliminate you. But he underestimated your power- the little people often do. Your survived his betrayal, and now this debt must be paid in person. Besides, Faylar knows too much about you. He MUST be eliminated, and soon.

Then you can disappear back into the galaxy, and be safe. Then there is the promise, both of the fraction of the Sith archive you plundered from Avalar, and the prospect of other long forgotten Sith sites in the galaxy where perhaps you may find something of interest. But Faylar first, that’s the plan.

Your leader, Kuylen, is not with you. He has gone to investigate some insane rumours of a Sith spotted on the planets Tatooine and Naboo. He has with him the archive and your plans, and if only for that reason you wish his safe return, which he promises soon.

Your first problem is already bypassed. Some of Faylar’s shadier dealings- like with you guys- have been revealed. He now controls the 13-planet strong Damagran Confederacy, newly independent from the Republic, but it seems the Republic will not leave him in peace. An armed blockade of Damagran has been mounted by the Republic while investigations into his dealings continue. The blockade is professional and complete. ANY ship attempting to breech it will be destroyed.

So probably the only thing that got you through was your sheer determination. Kuylen gave you his stolen Hutt corvette to sacrifice to get you guys through. You guys off-loaded- and stored safely- any important equipment you cannot carry, including any ships you own. Then, simply, you set the Corvette on a collision course with the planet and put it on full throttle. The ship was shot down by the blockade, breaking up into flames, but you cared not. The escape pods took you down near your target, and you were not pursued. Getting off the planet again will involve more work but that is almost trivial.

Your target is the city of K’rra Chi. A Civil War is being fought on Damagran, as those who wish to stay in the Republic battle Faylar’s faction. Faylar has taken the loyalist city of K’rra Chi, and there he has set up his HQ.

This will be a hard mission. You must get through the jungle to K’rra Chi. You must breach the considerable security that prevents you entering the city. You must then find some way to penetrate Faylar’s HQ and deal with him. There will be many people trying to stop you. Faylar is a well protected man. And somehow, you get the feeling that those bloody Jedi will be after you again. You must stay focussed.
So, here you are, in this jungle, trying to head to the city. Some of you dislike and distrust each other. As ever, your survival depends on working as a team despite this. Or maybe the Dark Side was never meant to work together. That is certainly what the Sith thought. Kuylen disagrees; question is, what do YOU think?

For now, though, you could use each other’s help.

Of course, the big question right now is- what are you going to do with this captive Jedi, this Knight ‘yerssot’ that Quam is in charge of?

Quam looks around the humid jungle. He left his robes on his shuttle and is now wearing a black tunic without sleeves. His grey skinned arms are lean but very muscular. There's an band on his right arm with some small electronic devices on it. His tommy blaster is on his side, a contraption for long range and heavier fire power is strapped on his back. The rest seems to be normal.

He looks up at the sky. Little of it can be seen through the dense foilage.
"What a crappy place this is. Thank you, Kuylen", Quam murmels. He then turns to the scruffy looking former Jedi.
"You better stay close, young yerssot. Once mistake and you die. Now watch and learn."

He takes out a small detec scanner from his utility belt and begins to move towards K'rra Chi.

"Sure thing"
Yerssot rolls his eyes...
"Why don't you show me the way, ow great leader?"
He is amused by Quam

Quam notices Yerssot's display of scorn and makes a mental note on his apprentice's progress.
"Better watch yourself, these jungles have strange inhabitants."

"Perhaps I can defend me better if I had my lightsabre back ... master"
Yerssot smiles

Gald walks behind Yerssot, aiming his multi-purpose rifle at his back. "Watch it, Jedi, or you'll have a few holes in your back!"

Gald's lightsabers are dangling from his belt, along with a few thermal detonators, a pistol, and his disruptor pistol. He had given an extra pistol to Rura Ta, who is now walking beside him. Gald is wearing a black shirt, a brown leather jacket, a belt with a few holsters, grey pants, and black boots.

Rura Ta walks alongside him. He is holding his pistol lightly. During the few days that they were on the corvet he proved to be more of a Fallen Jedi than a Corsair. He is armed with the extra pistol that Gald gave him, a lightsaber, and a Kyberdart launcher. He wears a dark blue cloak over a black tunic.

Gald then speaks up again. "How long till we reach K'rra Chi, Quam?"

Edna raises an eyebrow at quam as he plays with his jedi. This was no time for fun and games. The jedi looked weak and feeble to her and she had wanted Quam to leave him here in the forest to die. He will only slow us down. What was Quam trying to prove?

Edna eyed the scanner in quams hand and smiled. She started to keep her distance from the others but close enough to still be with the group. She prefered not to be distracted by their clumsey noises. Her acute hearing and Jedi sense were the sensors she prefered to use.

Gald notices her straggling behind. "Why don't you tell me, m'lady?"

"As long as it takes!" Edna retorts and gives him a smile meaning she had no idea. "patience is a virtue in some."

"Yeah, whatever..." he turns his attention back to Yerssot and the jungle. The huge, rubbery-looking trees surround them and snakes, lizards, and other animals slither, crawl, and climb among them. Gald sees a spotlight sloth from Dagobah swing slowly through the trees, but it quickly disappears among the trees.

Strange bluish-red fruits hang from the trees and are divoured by large, gold-colored frogs with yellow stripes and long, bright red, sticky tongues. On the ground, weeds and bushes choke the ground, which is covered in reddish-brown, sloppy mud. Moss covers the rocks along with Rockhopping lizards, which have thorns along their spines and are scaly, muddy, and blue.

"This is sure teeming with life, isn't it Gald?" Rura Ta says when he notices Gald watching the animals and trees. "Yep, it sure is." A rather large lizard called a tiger lizard sneaks up behind the group, but Gald stuns it. It's large, orange and black body drops, but it's not dead unless the stun was too big.

Quam, your scanners pick up something

There are scores of detection devices around over the coming miles to the city. Probably dropped by air over the jungle to try and track incoming loyallist forces who might want to attack K'rra Chi. Picking a way through could be difficult.

Edna, your force sense is picking up some vague danger. Like... someone is searching you out. Difficult to pin down.

Yerssot turns around...
"Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid of this world that you keep watching me?
Or... don't you trust master Quam? Do you fear he is more powerfull then you?"
He laughs...

"Scared of you?" says Gald. He is annoyed by the Jedi's arrogance. "I'm not scared of you! I have more weapons and power than you'll ever have!"

"Considering that I don't have any weapons at the time... you are correct... impressive remark of you"
Yerssot smiles...
A very foolish Dark Jedi, he can't control himself, this will be his undoing

"Please! Would you keep your damn voices down! Unless you want to get all our heads blown off of course!

"Quam there is someone searching for us. They know we are in this area. You getting anything?"

"I know". Quam is focused on his surroundings. "We may have a slight problem approaching the city without being noticed. Sensors... a lot."

Quam turns to yerssot and whispers to him. "Shut your trap and be wary."
After that he looks at Edna. "Looks like you're the only sensible one left.", he says calmly with a low voice. "We must be catious. Now", he points towards the trees in front of them as far as they can see, "K'rra Chi is over there, but it looks like detection all over the place. That way", he explains, "is water. I think we should try that. Going under water from time to time, may get us there unnoticed. Unless you prefer to barge in."

Yerssot looked at Gald...
"If you don't want to loose tubby here, the water would be the best choice"
He whispered

Quam send the former Jedi a vile glance. Yerssot felt that slight squeeze on his throat again.

"Are we done treatning? Perhaps we can start moving then, it MAY come as a shock to some *he glances at Gald* but we have a mission to do"

From what you know, K'rra Chi is a port; it was an amphibious landing that captured it. A nearby river probably runs all the way to the city. Going under water may well be a good way to fool the detectors in the jungle.

However the point where the river joins the city willl be more guarded; if you follow the river you will have to decide when to STOP following it, lest you wander straight into a security zone.
