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

I can settle that by saying that Relle refuses to be bound and paraded like a slave. It will bring everyone's attention to us and they'll be expecting trouble.

Relle is a trained assassin and sneaking is her way. She favors the sewers.

I think the sewers are going to be our best bet. We can sneak our way up from there.

There might be merit in detonating some explosives in the lower levels of the Palace, away from where we are, as a distraction.

Like, set up a timed explosive to cause some havoc while we're making our way through the palace? Do we have anyone with Sabotage? Cos I'm sure that'll be needed for that sort of thing.

Rianna also says "oh **** no" to that idea. Hellllll no is that happening.

Also, sneaking = yay.

Perhaps one of our Allies/Ties is sufficient in Sabotage. I'm glad someone agrees that might be a great idea.

Okay, so our plan:

Everyone is going to go to Selene. We can take the New Beginning (flown by Trax) into the starport. If anyone else wants to take their ships (Black Dawn or Paladin) they can.

We will make our way through the starport with as little contact with officials as possible. None is preferable. Anyone that gives us trouble can be Mind Tricked into leaving us alone or letting us into the city (Edana, Gallador, and Rand can do this).

Then, we get into the sewers as soon as possible. We move as one unit through the sewers in the direction of the Palace. Those strong in the Force (particularly Rand and Edana) should be able to guide us easily.

Once under the Palace, we will install explosives (if possible). Preferably on the foundations so that, when they are detonated, they will cause massive damage and create chaos. We will only detonate them if we are going to be discovered.

When the explosives are ready, we will move into the Palace and get as close to the throne room, taking side corridors and other means of avoiding guards.

Once in the throne room, we will make a bid for our lightsabers. Rand should have no problem breaking open the case with our lightsabers. Then we are armed and then we will kill everyone in the throne room, especially Rivas and his prized private guard.

Then we will flee through the streets. If we can secure transports on our way out, we will. Kill anyone that gets in our way and get back to the starport.

Once in the starport, we depart! If we have any opposition, we'll fly our way out. The New Beginning probably has turrets (being the largest ship in our 'fleet'😉 that can be manned while Trax flies us clear and into hyperspace. 😈

Seems decent; pretty straightforward and simple, and we can easily change things on the fly if needed.

Rianna likes Rand's plan? Shocking...

I also feel it will be the best way to move our group in. We are going to be bigger than the usual bunch with all our Allies/Ties.

It's better than anything else presented so far 😛

The biggest issue will likely be the fact that we will be such a large group. That won't be unnoticed, even if we go out of our way to avoid as many people as possible; there's also the fact that only a few of us have Intrusion which may be problematic.

The distraction of the explosives might help in that area.

But we have to get through the starport and into the sewers first; doing so without anyone noticing is going to be difficult.

Yeah, that'll be weird. Though are we really going to have everyone meet on Epireus before we go for Rivas? I feel like everyone else will meet us there.

And I don't think there was much in the way of starport security when we first got there.

Meeting on Epireus isn't such a great idea. Meeting on Datura would be better; that way our allies can scatter their own ways when we leave.

And I'm worried less about security and more about some random person going "Oh, look, a small army" and thinking they might be able to get something for that bit of info.

Of course, if we arrange for everyone to meet us there, we can start getting people into position (like, a rendezvous point in the sewers) with staggered arrivals so that there isn't an obvious huge group moving around...but that might be getting too complicated. Especially as we don't know our way around down there.

Meeting on Selene, you mean? 😛 We're not going back to Datura. At least, not without lightsabers. Might be a good source of minions...

Rendezvous point in the sewers would be good unless we're only navigating by Force powers. Unless we split our own group up to get in too, so that each guide leads a small bunch to one spot.

The throne room is at the very top.

Sewers are normally a bit distant from foundations for basic stability reasons. A large enough explosion might 'connect' the two but you are getting into serious sabotage rolls here, and I also need to know where the giant bombs are coming from.

Yeah, Selene, shush 😛

It will be tricky to get to our lightsabres without brining attention. Are we all going to sneak towards them?

Can we not get some kind of catering wagon, hide inside it while the good liars use their skills to get it in, once in the palace we can emerge and start killing guards as we work our way to the throne room. This way we wont be getting separated.

If you go on mid-broadcast it is indeed going to be an issue involved in getting your sabres during the fight. That will make things much harder.

You don't actually have to do things mid-broadcast to count as doing it in public- the alternative is that you activate the broadcast equipment yourself.

Time is running out!

I like the idea of breaking in and activating the equipment ourselves. I bet things would be less guarded if we went that way, too.

Likely their security would be less if it was not mid-broadcast. I like that plan as well.

Do we know where the equipment is?
