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

"Your little army won't be around forever, Rand. Another thing that you seem to forget," Rianna responds. "Nor do any of them frighten me..."

"And it seems to me that if you were to have the stone, it would have been given to you in the first place, instead of to Xavier."

"It would benefit us all if we knew what it was or why it was handed to us at all," Rand says. "I will guarantee its return. And I do not NEED an army to outdo you, Rianna. Remember Ord Coridari..."

"Oh, you would bring that up, wouldn't you..." Rianna hisses with fury. "But things are a bit different now. I have the advantage unarmed, while you are hopeless without a lightsaber. And my abilities have only gotten stronger, while you have only fallen, Rand. You are a cripple, weakened by your own poor decisions."

To punctuate her point, Rianna lashes out at Rand with the Force, using Combat Push to try and shove him back.

I will wait to see if Ush actually processes that attack... or if the others try to stop you first.

Have to wait and see if yours even goes through as well, too 😛

I can right now say that Con is not going to try to stop Rianna.

In other news though he has found a really shiny piece of metal for the attack.

Dak will attempt to stop Rianna, because he's simply that kind of lizard.

Probably by grabbing her shoulder. "Rianna!"

"What?" she snaps at him before making her attack, moving to shove him away from her instead.

"This is not the best time or place to kill the squid," Dak hisses back, standing his ground before the smaller human.

"Ask if I care anymore..." she says. In the mood to try and hit something, she aims a punch at Dak, since he happens to be right there, he interrupted her fighting with Rand, and they had been fighting earlier anyway.

Dak takes the punch without counter, if it means living long enough to get off Datura.

"Stop or I'm clocking you with the girder," Galder says. He does not like how things are going, or that Rand is asserting control with an actual means of backing himself up.

"Fine," Rianna snaps, still seething over everything, but realizing that it's definitely not helping matters at all.

The situation is: Rand et al are pulling the "Do as I say or you aren't coming up with us" contingency.

You therefore do as they say or lose your character. If you kill the likes of Rand and Azarl, you're equally stuck so any threats from you are meaningless also.

If you think it is a bad move long term, then that will have to be played out in that long term.

"You just need to make the threat," Kai says to you quietly, Rand. "No need for the flashy display. Rubbing it in doesn't help. You only need to make an example if you've been failed or betrayed."

Rand decides to put Xavier down to ease tensions, knowing that everyone will see reason and do as Rand says.

"There is no need for anyone to die or be cast out," Rand says as he drops Xavier a short distance onto the tunnel floor. "All I ask is that I be allowed to examine the stone and that my orders be followed."

Rand is enjoying watching the Psycho Brigade squirm and argue with themselves for once, rather than opposing him.

Such POWER, Rand thinks to himself.

"I really must thank you, Kai," Rand says in return. "It had not occured to me the advantageous position I am in. Now, perhaps, we can actually proceed in cracking open the way on to Red and be done with this aimless show."

"You're welcome," he says. "You guys have all been asking the wrong question, you know," says Kai. "I keep hearing- how can we get through the door? What fantastic ideas have I got for getting through the door? I don't have any. If I did, I'd have been through already. The door is a brute force job; that's why I need to be with you guys. But that's really not the problem."

Oh believe me, it will be played out long-term.

(though really, how can they really stop us?)

Anyway, Rianna's going to go look for the stuff they need before her desire to kill Rand gets any stronger again.

How can they stop you? They control if the door is open or not. That gives them all the power they need.

Could I alone open the door with super lift or would we need multiple people for that? I mean I understand Rand has the power, but could he really leave us here, couldn't we take advantage of the attack he'd inevitably do and proceed to red as well?

Well, then you'd have to get through the door without the army backing you.

It'd be so darn easy for them to block your access, assuming they even let you come.
