MAUSOLEUM END OF CAMPAIGN SABRE DUEL- Chion vs. Marcus and Takuan
THE SET-UP: The final confrontation of the plotline is now upon the players. On the remote, dying forgotten planet of Zeiton- battleground of the Sith Wars, and quarantined in secret milennia ago by the Jedi, lest the remarkably force sensitive Zeitonians tear themselves apart with knowledge of the Force that is so lethal to them- Kuylen has found his target, the Mausoleum of Demnos, where Darth Demnos once led his cult and, so the legend goes, sacrificed himself to become one with his tomb and teach future generations of the Sith. The truth of the legend, no-one yet knows.
Down in the bowels of the Mausoleum, Gundark and Kuylen face off, with their allies, as the Jedi make a last ditch attempt to stop Kuylen reaching Demnos. But up at the top of the Mausoleum, an equally grave crisis has developed in the narrow stone corridor of the upper control room. Here, the Dark Siders were conducting an interrogation of the captured Jedi Marcus, near the controls of the Venegance Device that the Dark Siders were trying to de-activate- the Vengeance Device being a Sith weapon designed to devastate the planet in event of attack, in order to ward off other Sith from attacking this planet, a common tactic millenia ago. It if explodes, the resulting blast will be enough to destroy the planet's biosphere, ending all life there.
Kuylen's seemingly steadfast lieutenant, the brutish Chion, has finally lost it and, wanting the devastation, has overpowered fellow Dark Sider Saar and activated the Venegance Device, which is now powering up for annihilation. Takuan, utterly outmatched by Chion's bulk, has had no choice but to free Marcus and stand with him in order to defeat Chion and make an attempt to de-activate the device. If Chion is not defeated... everybody dies.
HOW THIS WORKS: Everyone knows the basics. Marcus and Takuan take it in turn to attack Chion, and he to attack them, and temember the non-attacking/defending player can attempt to aid his comrade- but this can do more harm than good if done badly.
Chion has sealed the area. There is no escape from this fight. Also, if Chion wins, everyone dies anyway!
ANALYSIS: Chion's brute force has been previously seen to be highly effective against the conservative styles of Marcus and, in the past, Gundark. Takuan, of course, would never chose to be in any duel at all, let alone one against a killer like Chion. But together, the two of them have a good chance... if they can work well enough together!
Chion is the aggressive one here, oddly enough, so he goes first.
Score: Chion- 0, Marcus/Takuan- 0
Chion to attack
The attack you have learned to dread, Marcus... Chion powers up his claymore sabre, and starts to whirl it around his head in continuous momentum, as he advances slowly towards you and suddenly changes direction of the blade for a strong hack at your left shoulder.
