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

Well Dak, as it happens, you do. Most of you do, actually, once you are finally at an angle to see him properly, but particularly you because he is staring at you. As he walks down to the front of the spectators, the wound in his side is already healing.

He may not be that big, but he is extremely muscular under his leather armour, and he is as tall as any of you. By his side, a whip handle- with no whip attached- hands off his belt... and atop the armour is a sash; the sash of the Guildmaster of all the Lanzar Hunting Guilds.

Oh, ****.

...you magnificent bastard.

Dak's eyes narrow as he recognizes the Guildmaster.

Revenge...

"Rogan," Galder says, acknowledging the Guildmaster.

"You are to be congratulated, mighty Emperor," comes a voice from higher up. Descending the wide stairs- through the path that Rogan just cleared- is an altogether less impressive looking specimen; thin, pale and dressed in some sort of grey uniform with an insignia, of rank, made up of coloured squares, on his left side. "Few could manage such a feat."

Rand goes cold as S'nar and Rogan make their presence known.

"Representatives of the Republic in your court, Emperor?" Rand asks.

Dak swears profusely in his native tongue.

"We're outside of the Republic, you have no authority here..." Rianna hisses at S'nar and Rogan. "Somehow I doubt any meddling would be appreciated."

Upon seeing the man that can only be S'nar, Galder tries to break away from his captors with an overwhelming desire to beat the man completely senseless.

If the captors don't stop Galder, Dak trips him with his tail, so that the idiot doesn't do something stupid.

Having come from outside the Republic and never gone into it but for their brief foray to Gonderkorro, Azarl does not understand.

"Stop it, you idiot!" Rianna shouts at Galder as he attempts to break away to attack.

Hard to break away much with your hands shackled- but one of the electrostaff men will beat you down, for drama.

One of Rivas' attendants speaks into his ear.

"Ah! The man who came to see if it was true about Kuylen. Well, as you know, it very much was."

He turns to you guys.

"Do not think I do not know your connection with that man as well. His own pupil, come with his pathetic band! Well... look upon my prize!"

He points at one of his display cabinets- and amongst the many personal things Rivas has picked up over time... there lies Kuylen's lightsabre.

Galder does not even acknowledge the electro-staff thumping into him and illuminating his bones. Upon seeing Kuylen's lightsaber, he becomes hysterical.

"But HOW?!" Galder wails. "How did you capture him? What was he doing?"

Dak stares wide-eyed at the lightsaber. "He's really here..." he says softly, still almost unbelieving.

Someone may wish to explain things to Azarl?

-

"Hah! The arrogance of such lesser beings is what destroys them! None of you have the mental superiority of a TRUE leader of men! I defeated your fabled Kuylen in single combat!"

"Impossible!" Galder snarls. "That cannot be! You lie! YOU LIE!!"

Galder continues to struggle against his bonds, reaching out with the Force for Kuylen's lightsaber...

Best explanation ever. Rogan is an Osokan, S'Nar is a Bureau agent who is able to use the Force/sense use of it/something like that, and they've been hunting down and trying to kill us for some time now. Well, the Bureau in general has. Rianna murdered the first agent they sent after us. They're a Republic agency set up by Palpatine to supposedly track criminals as they travel from world to world but is secretly to get rid of any Darkies. That's why we stay out of the Republic as much as possible.

(Osokans are kinda like...giant evil pig-like aliens, and they use neurowhips as weapons. Which suck. They can parry lightsabers and paralyze you. Ech.)

--

Rianna just glances at the lightsaber, mildly surprised. For once the rumors apparently were true.

"Single combat? Oh, really."

"Galder, you're going to get us killed!" Dak yells at the struggling man. "Control yourself!"

"He thought- in his feeble, pathetic way- that he could rule my empire as his own. As if a man such as he could run an Empire of Men! He used his silly parlour tricks to gather some weak-willed taxpayers and try to rise against me. Well, there is only one way to act against such an action- to cut off the head! I fought Larios Kuylen, the one who no man has ever beaten. And I won!"
