USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (JEDI)- Purity

Started by Alkaselzer121 pages

Gallagher is uncomfortable as Korth comes closer and closer to the truth, but does not doubt his mentor's instincts. What can Gallagher sense about it?

In any case, Gallagher grabs his lightsaber off the table and attaches it to his belt. He follows Master Korth as they leave to find his sister.

"And so instead I willh haunt your failed life forever," says Sienar. "Hence I win. Your loss, Jedi."

He heads out towards the hatrchway.

"You'll remember this moment. This last chance that you threw away."

And so you are returning to Thespia again, Gallagher, to launch a quick strike on the suspected hideout. Zaland, still searching for the assassins, is not present.

Andro glares at Seiner as he departs. After a moment, stoll glaring at the empty entrance, he says to the others, "He's right, you know. I wish I could just strike him down, even though I know why it's wrong. I swore to myself that I would defeat him after he buried me in that pile of rubble and took Gallagher away. You should have seen how he played us all for fools, how he laughed at my inability to do anything about it! How he mocked me, and how he still mocks me. It's my arrogance... And my obsession with combat. He must have seen it in me.
He turns to the others. "I don't know what you know about me, and I'm sure none of this will surprise you. I have dedicated my entire life as a Jedi to my lightsaber skills. I only studied other aspects of the Force well enough to pass the trials; I put extra effort only into the skills I thought could help me in a fight. I probably should not have been made a knight. I am not a subtle person, I have no gift for strategy. I am no good with puzzles; they only make sense to me once I see the answer. I don't understand politics. Even after all people have said to me, I can't understand why, after all I've seen him do, that I cannot take him into customdy. That's why Seinar is right. I can't stop him. I can't out-think him. I can only kill him, and it seems that will only come after his plot succeeds, when it is too late. I am sorry you were burdened with my presence on this mission."

Jelena shakes her head.

"No, Andro. You are no burden to us. This may not be the sort of mission you are accustomed to, and it may not be a playing field that you are comfortable in, but you have shown us that you have the dedication and drive to see to it that we will triumph. You have the willpower to resist Sienar's temptations and the lure of the Dark Side. You even have the introspection to realize these things about yourself rather than go with whims. And we may need your skill with a blade yet."

Jelena looks to the empty hatch, where Sienar just exited.

"We may have just lost our final chance to kill him before it is too late... but I refuse to believe that there is no victory to be had for us. We will unravel his plot, I promise."

The day is coming to an end. Anything to do before we begin the next one?

Would it be possible for Gallagher to try sending a message to Zaland without Master Korth noticing?

You don't even know which planet hs is on!

Damn. Gallagher knows that Zaland would have liked to have been there to do his duty to the Klinge-Faust family, and knows that they may have needed his help. He will remain confident in Master Korth's abilities to protect him, and in his own.

How long has it been since my sister was kidnapped?

I didn't precisely define the time, but roughly a few days. It was a short investigation relatively speaking.

Gallagher will join Korth in the cockpit of their ship as he shuttles them back to Thespia.

"I hope you're right, Jelena. And I hope we aren't already too late."
(Any chance Andro can sneak around to get to speak with Kathya? Or is that still ruled out as illegal? It's the last stone I can think to look under.)

During the night is not a good time to go barging into the Basilica. She has no reason to see you anyway. But you do need to egt onto the investigative side of things ASAP or you'll be clueless forever.

You need to work with what you have already. Start constructing bits.

Korth gives no time for you to check on family or anything like that. He's heading straight to the compound where he thinks she is being held. He hires a private speeder, trying to keep a low profile.

Gallagher understands the necessity of the haste that Korth has set.

"What do you think will happen when we get there?" Gallagher asks. "Do you think Kellan is alright?"

"I see no sense in harming her now," says Korth. "But our strike must be quick lest we panic her captors."

Gallagher nods in understanding. He takes his lightsaber from his belt and examines it, the spherical upper grip, the slanted emitter, the simplistic hilt of a Padawan's lightsaber.

"Master Korth..." Gallagher says. "Are we to... take lives, if it goes wrong?"

"Defend yourself as a Jedi should. They shall receive their chance to stand down. If they resist you must do what is right."

Gallagher looks down at his lightsaber again, troubled by the prospect of taking a life. He thinks to himself that he will try to simply disarm or disable if it were to come to a fight, slashing at their weapons or their hands rather than stabbing straight through them.

"Yes, Master Korth," Gallagher says, looking out the window of the speeder as Thespia passes by outside.

As it is, Gallagher, there is no killing to be done there. The sudden arrival of two Jedi out of nowhere, combined with Korth's display of intimidation ans he force-pulls the ctach on the giantr armoured gates iof the compound apart, convinces those inside to give up rather quickly.

One problem- your sister and her abductor fled just before you arrived- apparently tipped off! This rather demoralised those holding her also.

Gallagher is severely disappointed when they reveal that the abductor had fled.

"Who are all of you?" Gallagher demands to know. "And where did they flee to? How did they know we were coming?!"

They have no idea how he knew.

As for who they are... you aren't sure all of them are Thespians, for a start...

But Korth gives you little time to wotk things out.

"We need to get after him. Immediately! We'll leave the locals to get answers here."
