USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (JEDI)- Revelations

Gallagher jaw is dropped and his tears have stopped. He knows now what he must do.

"Ambushing a Jedi is most unwise, Sienar," Gallagher says, calling his lightsaber to him and igniting it. "I was almost considering releasing you to prevent the famine, but now you have sealed your fate. I repeat what Andro has just said; you are under arrest!"

Gallagher adopts a defensive stance with his lightsaber.

"Fight me on equal grounds, you old fool!" Gallagher shouts. "You know we cannot contest you with your control of the Force, but if you are going to defeat me, I would rather be defeated in an honorable contest."

However, seeing Andro's distress, he uses the Force to clear off the crate that buried him and then focuses on trying to keep the roof up long enough for Andro to escape, straining his powers.

Jelena watches as her opponent moves off.

"Roan, here's our chance!" she shouts to him. "We must get to the lift, now!"

Jelena tries to discern where the lift is through the smoke and dust of the Great Vault.

"Gallagher," says Sienar, dismissively, almost reprovingly.

He extends a hand and targets a Fling on you. He rolls a +3. You are too distracted for a dodge, and rather importantly, have no counter-force powers.

Sienar's Force attack rating is 16.

He has the top level in Power of the Force, making it 17.

He has Assail, making it 18.

He burns Emotions into it, to make it a 20.

This makes the final Force Attack roll a 23.

Final Outcome is ten.

Outcome is maxed in Fling by the Force points he put into it. As he put 15 points in, that's not an issue.

Final damage is 32 minus your Strength, for 25.

Gallagher, you are propelled through the air as if a starship just hit you, and at high velocity slam into the collapsing ruins behind you. You collapse to the ground, broken.

Your Lightsabre falls from your grasp and clatters to one side, and a moment later flies through the air to Sienar's skeletal hand.

"That's for being a fool," he says. With another wave of his hand, you are yanked up, gripped for a moment, and then thrown pyhsically upwards into the air, to come crashing back down again in the middle of the area.

"But I admit that that one was just for my own amusement."

You stare up at him, Gallagheer, as another truth hits you. Weak in body,, but strong in spirit... his bodily damage, that you pitied him for before, is so horrendously extensive... anyone should have died years ago from that...

And he called you Gallagher.

-----

Ok, well, I am afraid you Jedi guys forgot about your target's superior mobility; letting her roam freely won't help.

As soon as she geta atop the expanding sphere she has a clear run, of a sense, back towards the lift. The first you notice of this is when she starts 'falling' towards the lift way above you...

... and the darts whirl around and make another dive at Roan.

Andro shoves his lightsaber into the pile to try to clear it out. He heaves with all his might against the weight bearing down on him, trying to free himself so he can help Gallagher.

"You..." Gallagher says, trying to rise to his feet, but struggling. "I know you...your disease...made you...unrecognizable...you murdered my sister!"

Gallagher struggles to stand.

"Brith Sienar."

"No, Gallagher," says Sienar. "Like Sienar, and Kalik, Brith is just a name I have held; one of so many that they have all become meaningless."

Behind the crippling deformities, you didn't recongise him, Gallagher- even in close conversation.

Brith was a fit, strong man, after all.

"Master Korth managed to kill Vale and arrest Fenring, but he never did tell me what happened to you," Gallagher gasps. "I assumed you escaped, but we never heard from you again."

Gallagher wipes some blood from his nose onto his pale robes, staining them.

"Your power is great, but your wits were obviously dulled at some point, Brith. Hence your illness."

Kalik? Gallagher thinks to himself.

"I had business on Floria. Everyone who must go there takes that risk. But you should know full well to never judge by appearances, Gallagher. Your progress disappoints me. Korth was a fool- he never made the link with his compatriots who knew who I was. Nor did your father; and your sister paid the price."

"My sister was an innocent little girl, you bastard!" Gallagher shouts, falling to his knees as he tries to take a step forwards. "You are truely an evil being."

Gallagher tries to pull his lightsaber back from Brith.

"Thankyou," says Sienar. He looks at your tugging. "Oh, you want this?"

He throws it to you.

"You'll need it."

Gallagher takes his lightsaber and ignites it.

"Let us see if I have not at least improved my skills with a lightsaber," Gallagher says. "You'll find that I am no longer a Padawan."

"You misunderstand me, Gallagher.

You'll need it, if you are to come with me."

Gallagher keeps his lightsaber up.

"What do you mean?"

"You are coming with me, Gallagher. Back to Mandragos."

"Why would I want to go with you?!" Gallagher shouts.

"I will give you five reasons.

First, because you have no choice. I have the power to kill your violent companion over there and will do so if you do not.

Secondly, because you know it will happen. You have foreseen the two of us together on the streets around the Basilica on Mandragos.

Thirdly, because you want to save all those people, and as your visions must have made clear, you never will without my help.

Fourthly, you want to understand- all that happened before... and why I had your sister killed.

And lastly... because it is your destiny, Gallagher. As soon as you took a life, which must have been recently, you felt it. Your future does not lie with the Jedi, Gallagher. You know what is coming People will try and kill me. Surely you now know who- your friends. The other Jedi. But I have no fear."

He turns around, beckoning you.

"Because you will protect me. Come."

-Alkaselzer was here

Gallagher sighs, his will broken, his body broken, and places his lightsaber at his belt.

"It is not my destiny," Gallagher says. "But I do not wish you to harm Andro; you have already taken Zaland from me. And...no, I will remain silent."

Gallagher slowly and grudgingly steps towards Brith, limping.

I'm sure I'll find a chance to put an end to him, Gallagher thinks. I'm sure the Jedi, my friends, will rescue me. They would not leave me.

He turns. "I'm sorry, Andro. Perhaps we shall meet again, in a better time."

We are, of course, nearly done.

But I want to finish both plotlines at the same time, so let's see how things go on Cassilis!

Jelena would like to follow the Disturbance by her own means of jumping from bookshelf to bookshelf, hoping against hope that she and Roan will make it to the lift safely and manage to maintain passage up and out.
