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

Thinking back to the depths of RP lore...

On the hellish swamp world of Dordellus, Kuylen used some sort of sonic device to keep the flesh-eating bugs at bay. Maybe something like that is being used by Lennah to keep animals away?

Ah balls. I remember that. That was terrible. (Perhaps Lennah actually devised that system?)

Wouldn't that be something. Maybe we should have gone through his patents and matched things up that Kuylen made use of.

Might be able to still do that when we get back.

Xeth had a suggestion earlier of looking for more stable ground.

I'm kinda thinking that he'd need to grow his own food here, to avoid having more people find his hiding place. So maybe keep an eye out for foreign looking plant life, or even just food baring trees and the like.

That, and the sonic animal repelling system needed a large building to house it, and it went out spherically from its point of origin, so we should be able to find the border of the repelling system and walk towards the center.

Maybe we can get some kind of sonic detector going from our ships and see if we can pin point the point of origin.

I feel like we would have picked that up from orbit but there might be something in place.

Also I posted my vision... I don't think it applies to Ayad though.

Gallagher is going to test his feelings and ask D'an to do the same. He reaches out into the swamps around him, feeling the life that slithers and flies and crawls through the muck and grime. He wants to see if he can detect any fear or aversion to something from them. A direction that they stay away from.

The various tactics are fine, but you'll need to cover more than the immediate area. What's your searching strategy?

Roan's idea of finding the outer edge of the lack of wildlife area and heading to the center sounds like a good idea.

Maybe we should split into four groups and hit it from each quadrant.

That works for me.

To Wentar's earlier response-

"Not QUITE that specific," Xeth says. "You're doing a damn good job of it, though. I'll keep you around."

-

I'm game if everyone else is. There are fourteen of us (including Padawans). That splits four ways easy enough.

"Alright, form up into groups," Xeth says. "Wentar, Vera, with me."

Group 1
Vera
Xeth (G)
Wentar (BG)

Group 2
Rast (G)
Jelena + Padawan (BG)
Ti

Group 3
Denzral (G)
Roan + Padawan (BG)

Group 4
Andro + Padawan
Jovan
Gallagher + Padawan

I tried to place a Knight with Bodyguard in each group, as well as a gunner.

I didn't include Iffa, he hasn't posted in awhile.

(Sounds good!)

Andro immediately nods in agreement to Xeth's directions. No politics to play here with the whole 'Renegade Jedi giving orders to a Temple Knight'. They had all already been through too much, and Roan and Xeth at least, seemed to go way back.

"Gallagher, looks like you're stuck with me again; Jovan if it's alright I'll lead the way and you can cover our rear?"

Andro picks a direction no one else seems to be taking and sets off, unlit lightsaber in hand.

Ok, fan out!

I want one predominant tactic from each group, please.

I think I tried to make Rast into a really good tracker. Like a wilderness man, a ranger with a gun. Would that be Observation or Survival?

Survival! Very handy skill here.

Gallagher wants to use the tactic I mentioned just now. He wants to sense if the animals are afraid and moving away from a specific area, or if he can sense a disturbance that is keeping them away.

A little more of a Living Force tactic for the Cosmic-minded Gallagher. He is thinking of Sienar telling him to open his senses to the crowd outside the Synod's complex, as much as it shames him to take advice from a Dark Jedi.

Minding the Living Force is actually what Wentar's inspiration came down to- remembering the little things like wildlife as well as the big picture.

If Rast is confident in his Survival skills, then Jelena will follow him. If she can supplement with her senses and power in the Force in any way, she will.

"Hello,"Jelena says to Rast, not having talked with him much prior to their landing on Ayad. "You are one of Xeth's associates?"

(no offence to Andro & Gallagher of course, just consider myself as another padawon)
