USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME EPISODE I 'LANZAR'- Rebel Alliance Thread

All over the place.

Alright, Galahad will be watching outside. Could Drakkon join him or is he busy?

Most certainly busy.

The surrendering troopers are being retrained... and carried through the city.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Rhys says, looking at what is going on below.

I'm guessing the Osokans are heading for where we first met the raptors?

To the Justice Pit? Oh yes...

(Ha! I knew it wasn't a good thing. Atrocities will only dig our pit deeper. Defending these people will make the Rebellion look very bad.)

"Wow, I almost feel bad for the Stormtroopers."

Sasha will have accompanied the others.

"We have to stop them from executing the stormtroopers!" the Duchess says. "Get to the Justice Pit, we need to reason with them."

"Yeah, they can't do this. Imprisoned, fine, but not killing!"

To the skiffs!

I suggest Galahad reason with Drakkon...

Indeed, Galahad will not let the stormtroopers be pushed into the Justice Pit, and moves inside to speak with Drakkon.

"Drakkon, they mean to take the stormtroopers to the Justice Pit," Galahad alerts him. "You cannot allow this to happen, or you will be no better than the Emperor that means to take your world from you."

(The imprisoned troops might also be good bargaining chips... ermm)

It's almost impossible to deal with a rioting mob.

It is literally impossible when you don't speak the language.

"This is the justice of our world," says Drakkon. "And one cannot stand in the way of ths stampede. But I understand what you say. Will you chose to fight us as well?"

"Drakkon, be reasonable," Galahad says. "The stormtroopers are prisoners of war, not criminals. They've given up their fight and are begging for mercy, not the jaws of a raptor. Besides, they may know the plans of the Imperial Army, how they intend to invade. Do you know how useful that information would be to us?"

"So we extract that information and then kill them? I doubt you will find that preferable?

"Listen. If I order this to stop, I'll lose control of half my people."

"Is there no way you can reason with them?" Galahad asks, knowing the answer before he gets it.

He stares at you.

He then says something in Osokan to one of his aides, who strides off, returning a few minutes latter with Lode Master Vasilik.

"Why are you inside the Guild hall, Vasilik?" asks Drakkon.

"You ordered me to, Guildmaster!

"Where would you be had I not done so?"

"Why, out there! Slaying my foes! Bringing justice!"

Drakkon points at you, Galahad.

"Explain," he says, moving his finger towards Vasilik, "to him."

"Explain to me what?" says Vasilik. "Ohhh, I see... he wants a go too!"

Translation: We can't do shit to stop the Osokans...
They are nutso.

The thing is, that's the attitude we've been working with, and we failed everything.

Indeed! That's why the political game has been failed; the Osokans are difficult with something, we gave up. As Ush said, 'Oh no, we found out the Osokans are grumpy people!'

"Vasilik," Galahad says slowly. "I must insist that the stormtroopers that have surrendered should be held captive as prisoners of war, not slain in the Justice Pit."

(Can Galahad speak Osokan? He has a Languages of 15...and actually, what does Osokan sound like?)

Probably a lot like constant grunting...

Indeed so. Half Klingon, half pig-eating-a-truffle.

With a score that high you can have picked up some of the basics, Galahad.

"But why?" cries Vasilik. "That is no justice!"
