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

"The Force has told me that this is so," Rand says. "That is all I have been shown."

"Rianna is right. You are obviously not telling us everything you know."

The Syphar N Kalar mention changes things a little for Galder. It is what Kuylen is after and it is what we are after.

"I've no doubt that this only benefits YOU," Galder says. "But if it brings ME closer to the Syphar N Kalar... sure, let's bring him along. See how long he lasts."

"I want to hear your entire vision first, Rand," Rianna says. "I won't agree to bring him along until you share that."

Rand will close his eyes for dramatic effect and regal his vision.

You hear the harsh voice of the four-armed alien. Syphar n Kalar!

It must be yours!

But for now... you see a prisoner you must rescue from Datura, though you do not know why.

You will recognise the prisoner when you see him or her.

"It was Ranto," Rand says. "I recognized him immediately."

"And how do you know you didn't get it wrong?"

Oh, now Rand has revealed his vision...

I'd hate for you guys to think that Ranto is ANY good for the SNK. That would have been Foresight, not Manifest Destiny.

If you are looking for the super secret way in which Ranto is going to magically transform your fortunes... there isn't one.

But there is a very simple way in which he's not entirely useless as far as going to Black is concerned- though as before, forget about any stealth whilst he is there.

Could we 'kiss the frog' for oxygen?

I had a feeling Rand was playing us on that anyway. Ranto is no use to anyone but him. And he doesn't even know!

Bait for the trogs so we can get through Blue quickly? 😄

Anyone could do THAT.

Hell, Rand just being himself is bait.

As long as we don't have to use oxygen on him, Galder is fine with taking the frog. Especially if Rand is going to put up a stupid pointless fight if we try to NOT take him (which probably involves murdering Ranto and THEN Rand).

I'd rather be mostly intact when we go down there.

So, time to be practical. You are very soon to leave Red and head down. Please now describe to me any final preparations and some idea of group structure...

... and what you are taking with you.

Long story short for the rest- Almir will come; Rah is right. He has no future here. Orikan will stay; he thinks he can do well.

Chunn will come because he;s bored.

Yay bored Chunn smash!

We are taking our weapons, of course, and the air canisters, and the rope. Probably the charts through Blue so that we can plot a course to stick to. Does Almir need the survey map for Black?

Ok!

That's a lot of stuff. Who has it?

Better to bring the map than not have it, get there, and need it.

Since Rianna found it, she'll fold it up and keep it with her.

The map doesn't weigh; not an issue.

That depends, how much is the penalty for carrying stuff? I feel like Galder's girder is going to weigh him down a bunch...

We should distribute the canisters amongst ourselves.

They weight quite a lot- especially in bulk. Especially when making physical effort in a low oxygen environment.

More stuff increases the difficulty of the roll, I assume.
