USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (DARK SIDE)- The Way Back

Galder glares after them.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Galder says. "Wait here..."

Upon getting disturbing glares from his cohorts, he promises that he is not going to kill anyone.

He moves over and isle and tries to get closer to S'Nar and Rogan, trying to hear what they're saying.

"You have your teams ready?" asks S'Nar.

"Of course."

"Good. They're targets. Follow them. See who they are with. Kill them all."

"What makes you think they are targets?"

There is a long pause before a reply.

"Instinct..."

Rogan emits another snorting laugh.

"You should watch that. Maybe you will become a target one day."

"Oh, you have no idea how protected I am. You have your orders, Guildmaster."

Hmmm...

Hang on.

Uh-oh.

Guildmaster.

Guildmaster ROGAN.

Guildmaster Rogan... lead member of the Osokan Hunting Lodges.

Commander of all Osokans, chief of all the Osokan gatherings.

That Osokan is the Head of State of the planet Lanzar! There IS no higher position than Guildmaster! He is President, General, Chief Minister all in one. He RULES that planet!

When he was speaking of 'my' people, he wasn't being poetic! They ARE his people.

The Hunting teams are HIS teams. He's organised the whole damn thing. What, in the name of SANITY, is he doing HERE!?

A cold feeling spreads through your body as an answer starts to form in the back of your head.

He's here for you.

Someone, somewhere, someHOW... has set this up.

Oh yeah. And S'Nar can identify force users just by looking at them. That's a neat trick. That's not instincts, that's... more like... Intuition...

Uh oh.

(giggles...)

Awwwww shit.......

Well, two things explained....why Rianna was scared of Rogan in her visions, and how they got on to us....S'Nar must be a Force user.

Yep, we're screwed, I think.

You're joking. You have to be joking.

Galder goes completely numb, glaring at the two bitterly.

Is it possible for us to suss if S'Nar can use the Force?

You can't be serious!

Could I not sense S'Nar's power?! Is he Light Side or Dark Side?! Ahh.

We'll lose everything because of this man.

Shit. Ush, I hate you.

Okay, the very obvious thing to do here is to lose our new shadows. And lose them away from our ships. While killing Rogan is very tempting indeed, from what I read of the last episode, we have every reason to do anything other than engage the Okosans in battle. Especially since we're in the company of the damned Guildmaster now.

Would we be able to lose the Osokans at some point with good enough intrusion rolls, or whatever would matter for that?

You must have lost your Good/Bad-o-meter at some point, Rand.

Well, he sussed when you were using them (if you care to check his reaction when you used Empathy, Rand...), so maybe if you guys are smart enough you can suss out him.

Indeedy so, it will be Intrusion to try and lose any tails. Of course, I suppose that plan involves losing anyone without Intrusion, because don't thnk you get group rolls on that one! Osokans get very fixated on their targets. And Lordy, Rogan got a good sniff on all of you in that convo!

The safer people right now are Tanic, Gallador and Xavier. As of yet the Osokans are not trailing them.

Forget about the parts grabs- at some point between now and tonight you'll get what you need. All that is left now is your 'pre-plan plan', and the big plan itself. Both factors, of course, now somewhat complicated.

Takuan, ready to use Illusion? A lot? 😖

Tanic and Gallador could try a quick grab now...

No you can't. You don't even remotely have the means to get those generators out of there- that prep would toake ages. You are already committed on that part of the plan.

Galder, Rand and others can kill Rogan and S`Nar now! They aren`t surrounded by bodyguards, right?

This is going to be fun.....

Hehe, Gallador, much as I'm sure we'd like to....I don't think that'll help matters much at the moment. More like completely broadcast who we are.

I get the feeling that losing any Osokans following us is going to be tricky because of the scent thing...though Rogan's the only one that was there, right? So he'd be the only one able to identify us through that.....

I'm guessing the others wouldn't be too happy with us if we met up with them and led a bunch of Osokans to them....dunno how safe it'd be for us to use our comms right now, as they've tracked them before....

Well, this is going to be tricky. One thing I do think is that we should stick together because should it come to a fight, we're better against them together as opposed to split up, as we've found out.

I think we should just push through on how we were intending to make the grab, but work in something about ditching Osokans. Those with Intrusion or Illusion can find ways to avoid our Osokan pursuers.

Oh, and we could try and pull a trick with the comlinks. For example, we could somehow tell the others that whatever we say on the comlink is false, and then say 'Hey, meet us here so we can blah blah blah' and then go somewhere completely different.

I have a question about trying to lose pursuers that I thought of, actually....could those of us with Distract use it to help those without an actual Intrusion score?

They might lose sight of us that way, but not the scent, I don't think. 😖

Well, using Intrusion to lose them would do the same thing, pretty much, I'd think....😖

Could Distract possibly cause distracting smells, instead of just sights? Fresh meat, our own trails, a mate in season... something like that?

Distract is more sound than sights, Dak. Illusion is for every sense.
