USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE II (DARK SIDE)- In the Coils of the Serpent

"Well yes it is actually," he says. "No-one gets up there without the say so of a Lantarnas, and for genuine research reasons only.

"What did you find incredulous about Siva?"

(Damn, am I really stuck down here?)

(Any chance that Takuan could smuggle me up?)

yes well..we all have to die sometime. but i'm not planning on it for the time being

"Okay, lets cut to the chase here!" Rah says in a hushed tone moving in close to the librarians "We dont the Lantarnen Tablet, we're not stupid and we know it would be death for us to try." He looks around suspiciously "However whilst working as a smuggler out of Lok several years ago I came across an interesting article that led me to believe that there is a Sith Tablet located somewhere in the outer rim, but I'm not sure where exactly. From what little information I have gleaned in my travels I'm sure there maybe a reference to it in the Lantarnen library here." He looks around again "Who do I need to see to get me access, if I find this missing Tablet I'm sure we could come to a mutually beneficial arrangement..."

Tanic sits back inhis seat, waiting for the librarians' reactions.

(Risky - I hope it pulls off!)

Always a chance, Galder, but you'll have to work it out.

-

Wrong on two counts, Orphan. Not everything need die. And even if it must, there is no sense in accelerating it. Your death is imminent, and you have planned it well

-

The librarians look kind of non-plussed.

"That sort of thing has been tired before," one of them says. "No-one really has access to that kind of thing any more..."

One of the bolder ones speaks.

"It has better be a HIGHLY beneficial arrangement, What did you have in mind?"

That's a serious question, folks- if you can think of anything these guys might want.

(Maybe we'd let them study it...? It's Baylin's call)

Study what?

Rah beckons the bolder one closer to him and says in hushed tones "Power my friend!" He looks around again and then using the force to emphasise his words continues "The Sith Tablet that your boss' have is the key to their empire, with a Tablet of our own we could easily match them and possibly even exceed them! It's all down to you the chance is there if you're bold enough to take on the challenge. Think about it..." Rah goes back to his drink.

"Meh," one of them says. "The tablet is a symbol. It doesn't mean a damn if you don't have anything to back it up with, which I neither have or care to do so."

"So you're saying you wouldn't like to look at the tablet? Find out what it says?" Tanic asks, "It would have to be something interesting, maybe a pass to something."

"Tis your loss my friend!" Rah says in laid back manner "We will find the other Tablet one way or another and this is your opportunity to get a share in the spoils" Rah finishes his drink "Come on Tanic lets go and find someone whose not afraid of becoming a worthy contender" Rah makes ready to leave.

"If you HAD it," they say, "then sure. But you don't, and we have no guarantee that you will."

i have done no such thing. the force tells me so

On the contrary. I represent the Force. You have ignored it.

what do you know of the force?

More than you can possibly imagine, little Orphan.

His hand snakes out of his dark cloak, a hand of pure white, and grabs your wrist with an icy touch.

You see yourself atop the Galaxy yet you cannot even outwit one local idiot. Little wonder you are to die

-

"Yeah," agrees one of the other librarians. "If we're going to do a deal, we need something up front."

this idiot is unimportant! how do you know i am to die?

That's for you to find out... if you are worthy.

The idiot knows about your target. A child could coax that information from him.

takuan concedes the point 🙂
