USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (DARK SIDE)- The Prisoner of Datura

"I wouldn't doubt it," Galder says. "We need to patch up and get some rest. That was quite a doozy."

Well, there is a lot to do. You will rest, and we shall handle that shortly. At least a week goes by in the meanwhile, though- so it is time for a plan.

Well, perhaps after our prove of might, maybe we can attract some followers to help us get to the Red? Another thing would be to try to contact the Red gang that previouly consisted of followers of Kuylen. Gallador could actually use Subterfuge to spread lies that we alredy have allies on the Red, it could help with attacting followers.

By the way, would Xavier let Gallador have a look at that stone that Lady's aide gave to us?

THat does sound like a good idea, a bit of mook fodder to take with us when we storm the Red level might be good to keep the heat of us a bit

... are there going to be any other ideas?

I think we should get a better feeling for our surroundings, so that we know how to navigate the prison and know which tunnel leads where and where we can go from level to level.

Getting followers would be good if we can convince anyone to work with us.

And getting in touch with those who followed Kuylen before... I have a feeling they actually won't like us.

Rah thinks for a moment "Given we nearly got our asses handed to us just then I think we're gonna need to do some recon work." He pauses for breath then continues "That way we can see exactly what we're up against then we plan how we make our offensive!"
He shrugs "Has anyone got any food I'm kinda hungry...?"

"We're going to need supplies," Galder says. "Food being one of them."

Rah looks at the bodies and licks his lips "Plenty of kebab meat here, just need a barbecue to cook it on!"

Well, as for resting...

Everyone can heal 20 damage as time goes by, and whilst you have no decent medical access you can do a x1 strength heal, but twice (meaning that you can do the process of applying your healing, using your pool twice, twice over for four times in total, and also meaning that the same person can be healed twice in total).

As for gathering followers- who is doing it and how?

Kayda's gang is on red and utterly out of contact.

Alright, just to get damage figured out.

Here's where everyone sits after taking off 20 damage from resting. Numbers are Medicine/Damage.

Dak: 5/31
Relle: 0/11
Galder: 5/21
Rianna: 5/29
Con: 5/35
Rand: 6/0
Azarl: 7/16
Rah: 48
Gallador: 0/3
Xavier: 4/44

Our fighters should be getting the better points of medical treatment, since we're the ones doing the fighting.

Rand will be healing Dak and Rianna both times, feeling excellent himself after having avoided much of the fighting.

Rand will ask Almir how Kuylen rallied supporters last time, and if the geologist can help them determine which people will shun us immediately and which will be willing to join us.

In any case, Rand is going to be one of the people gathering supporters.

Gallador will also help. He will use his force senses who look for people who are most brave/desperate around and persuade them that their best chance to get to Red is by joining with such powerful "wizards" as we are. He can also use Subterfuge to convnce people that they have secret allies on the red helping them.

Almir is not very good at socialising, unfortunately, so he cannot help you choose targets. As for Kuylen- Almir understands he was a very inspiring man, who promised much and got people to believe him. Which, ultimately, seems to have been justified.

Might be a difficult tactic for us since the Red Level gangs do not want anything to do with more Force-users. Kayda might not want to be replaced, and the others will not want to be cowed or killed.

Perhaps we can offer safety in numbers? We have proven to be the superior fighters after that last battle with only the numbers we have. Surely there would be those willing to work with us so ensure their own protection. That way we could collect those with certain civilian skills that might come in handy (like Almir) and also fighters to boost our combat numbers.

We could also recruit from any new members that get put in the prison, if any new prisoners are sent to Datura.

Remember, it will be green people you would be recruiting, as Kuylen did. Everyone on green wants to get up to red.

No new prisoner shipments for a few weeks I am afraid.

Well, what this will ultimately come down to is a person and a skill. Different skills here will work in different ways. Successful rolls will add to a 'recruiting pool' from which you can gather your own army. Bad rolls, however, will lower the pool- as will conflicting approaches.

Relle is going to use Persuade to convince people to join us. She will steal Rand's pitch by saying to possible recruits that joining us will keep them from being bullied.

EDIT- I mean the skill not the power.

Rah is going to do some recon to see what defenses the Red border has. He'll use his persuade skill to try to get as much intel as he can from the people closest to getting up to red

The people in that regard won't be much good; you aren't close to it by proximity or the like. Observation will do you well in a recon, though.
