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

I'd best give Gallagher a chance to give a strategy right now, Andro.

I'm staying for negocations...

Well, other Jedi can decide what they are doing as we go, but once decided you are committed.

Volun eyes the visitors suspiciously.

"Who the hell are these people?" he asks. Skorzeny replies.

"Ah, Volun, yes... this here is the Jedi Knight Roan Trilanger, who has been kind enough to bend his abilities towards helping our world at this time."

"Sent to force a settlement, you mean?" he says, aiming it as an accusation at you, Roan.

-

If no Gallagher, more hockey tonight.

"Force a settlement? No. Prevent an all out war? Yes."

"Then forcing a settlement would be the quickest way to do that, wouldn't it?"

"Maybe the quickest, but not the most lasting. A forced settlement would leave one party alienated and angry at the other party. And that would cause further violence. I want to create a permanent settlement that would be accepted by all parties."

"Well, unless you are planning to use your mind powers to force one or the other of us into submission, that's not going to happen. Unless the Z'Har have serious intention today of talking about their own dismantlement, which I doubt."

"Now, Volun," says Skorzeny, "you know such a drastic step..."

"You see?" says Volun. "Pointless."

Jelena will stay for the negotiations.

"I must say, Volun, that is indeed a tad drastic," Jelena says. "I am Jelena Bendu, a Jedi Knight of Roan's party."

"It's time for drastic steps," he replies, simply.

(Volun's a Cassilian? He sounds like a Corellian...or a space hippy...)

Jelena smiles with a hint of mocking sarcasm. "Well, speaking of drastic steps, how did a tax dispute become a call for revolution?"

He certainly doesn't sound like a Cassilian.

"Is that so strange?" he says. "A tax dispute at Naboo became a war. But our cause is just. Repression invites revolution."

"You are not repressed!" says Skorzeny, with a hint of fire to him.

"All your brains and you can't see it," says Volun. "It's amazing really. Only people so smart could manage to be so stupid."

Before I continue...

Does the rest of the Galaxy know that the Sith were involved at Naboo?

That's the stuff of mad conspiracy rumour, really.

Deel goes for a shot at goal. The tackling droid he evades easily, only to have Andro slam into him just as he sets the stick to repulse; the shot goes wild and bounces off the wall into the red third.

Andro recovers from the collision, and looks to see what happened to the ball. Twain missed!. And Gallagher only had one opposer in his third to worry about. "Scroop, go for a shot if you can!" Andro moved away from Twain and Varm as best he could, trying to stay open in case Gallagher thought he could only go for a pass.

(I'll probably be out the rest of the day. If the game goes on, Andro will subtly use push/pull on Gallagher's shot if it's going to be a near miss, and if it's a pass and Andro catches it, he'll spin immediately on the spot and fire. This all assumes that Gallagher can get the ball. If the other side gets it, Andro will rush into the Red Third, and throw another block on the offender.)

"Well then, lets start from the beginning shall we? You say you were repressed Volun. How?"

Can I make a SF roll on Voluns speech and mannerisms?

Well, when you heard he was a trader, Roan, you had something quite relaxed in mind. But this person is obviously a trader. In the Han Solo kind of way.

"Who is in charge here?" says Volun. "Am I negotiating with you or them? Whoever I am not negotiating with can clear out."

You are negociating with them, Through me and my companions. We were sent my the Jedi council to make sure this is resolved peacefully. And we will stay here."

"I negotiate directly with those who have the power to do as I ask, and no-one else. That means the ruling council of this world. Not you."

Smuggler, eh?

"We are not going anywhere," Jelena says. "We are to preside over the negotiations to assure there is a peaceful resolve, as Roan has just said."
