USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE VI (LIGHT SIDE)- Missing Links

Famous last words.

Gallagher in general just feels uncomfortable with everything right now.

Isn't he always uncomfortable?

Ok, time to get flying thn- and because we've been at a lax pace of late, let's summarise what we've learned so far.

Or rather, one of you guys, or as a group, summarise, and I'll correct any mis-understandings.

If my memory serves correctly we are on the trail of the lady Adelmo, following her path to discover the Syphar N Kalar an ancient Sith... thing, whose nature we don't quite understand.

We met with Alik Saar, who revealed that Kuylen from years past worked with Adelmo at some point, along with a wealthy investor Gene Lennah, in search of Sith artifacts (Can't recall if it was specifically the Sphar N Kalar or something else.) After some kind of falling out Kuylen left to pursue Avalar. Adelmo and Lennah then attempted to locate the Scrolls of Bandimo, a record of Sith victories that may have information on the Syphar N Kalar.

Through some more talking with Saar we discovered that Darth Kazan, an agent of Darth Malphas, likely possessed it during the Malphan wars. The planet we're leaving now was once in control of the Sith and besieged by the Republic. Not wanting the scrolls to fall into the Republic's hands Kazan had them split in two and smuggled off world. We infiltrated his old base and extracted the base logs to hopefully locate where the scrolls were sent.

Now we believe we've narrowed down where this half of the scroll could be to a hand full of, we're going to see Saar to see if he can narrow it down further for us.

I think that sums it all up, though I've lost/forgotten where the other half of the scroll is. In possession of Adelmo I think?

Very nice Craft! Better that I could have done.

We also established that Kara Katai has already been one step ahead and in pursuit of this half of the Scrolls that we're after, so it's possible she already has them.

But according to our knowledge, she has been captured and being held by the Bureau. (She's actually out fighting Darkies, but, ya know...)

Kuylen/Adelmo/Lennah worked together on the trail of Sith stuff in general- but despite the work he did looking for Avalar and the Mausoleum of Demnos, Kuylen drew the line at the SnK which he did not believe had any functional existence. Adelmo and Lennah kept working on it together, Kuylen and Saar went on to form the eventual Dark Side group that this game has portrayed.

Your understanding is indeed that Adelmo has half of the scrolls, though like most things in this story you are wary of being certain.

Even with the split between Adelmo and Kuylen, the latter kept tabs on the Lady.

And at some point Adelmo felt that Lennah had outlived his usefulness or knew too much about her operations, and so used her powers to frighten him into a catatonic state. And we found him as such.

It's more Saar who kept tabs, really.

Lennah's zombification is the end of the story, as Saar put it- you are now tracing how things reached that point.

[Maybe Lady Adelmo can zombify you Jedi as well if you annoy her enough?]

We also came to the conclusion that Adelmo must be very close to achieving her goals, comparing how she killed Lennah and kept it silent for many years to brazen destruction of historical sites. She's less worried about being caught because she is so close to succeeding in whatever plan she has.

Yes, but there's something missing there. If Adelmo has the scrolls, then what's all this about? It doesn't matter where they were, if Adelmo has had them for ages.

Because if we follow Adelmo's path, we can learn just how close she feels she is to achieving her goals and what she learned on that journey to obtain the Scrolls.

They got the half of the Scrolls in the Antigone system, and we're tracking where they may have found the other half currently. Saar claims to not have known where the other half would be and sent Lennah and Adelmo to Alambritis in pursuit of it.

Doesn't following a years-old path to see how Adelmo feels right now feel a tad suspect? Surely anything she got then she would have achieved back then. It's academically interesting but you have a practical task here; how does it help you now?

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but we talked to Saar in the first place because we want to figure out what Adelmo's next step is so we can confront her and stop her. So maybe by learning what she knows we can know what that next step is and put an end to this.

I think what Ush is asking is how following her old trail will help us jump to that next step and catch up or get ahead of her.

Indeed. Saar indicated that this information would be directly useful, but it's not easy to see how.

I'm wondering if maybe this is the path they took but they hit some sort of road block that would've kept them from progressing. Maybe they know where the second half of the Scrolls is but they don't have it. That would give us a boost ahead of them.
