USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE VI (DARK SIDE)- Enemy

Started as a gambler, ended up running his own gambling empire. Phenomenally rich and not afraid to engage in the 'sharp end' of the gambling trade when it comes to catching cheats, pursuing debts and muscling out rivals.

And what could we have possibly done to get him mad at us?

You have absolutely no idea. None of you has even met him.

Where does he primarily operate? Because we're certainly paying him a visit to discuss this... issue.

Yeah...discuss...sure...

He operates out of his showpiece- a giant casino on the planet Robine.

"Why do I feel like Robine is in the Republic?" asks Galder, when Rand informs him of Merik and his gambling career being the source of recent troubles on Epireus.

"Because that's how things work out for us," Rianna replies.

Oh, er, yeah. It's well into the Republic.

"That certainly complicates us getting there and killing Merik out of revenge. The Bureau would be on us like that."

Galder snaps the fingers on his left hand as he says 'that,' making more of a metal tap than a snapping noise.

"And yet we cannot let this stand," Rand insists.

Is this Merik known for his interest about archeology, Jedi Lore, Sith artifacts, anything like this?

Also, it was mentioned that these bounty hunters had some resemblance to Jovano warriors, is there anything more to it considering Gallador's Jedi Lore score?

And may we ask Ascar about Merik?

Nope, he's known for making lots of money.

You weren't able to tell anything more about the mercenaries, I am afraid.

For security reasons, your transmissions wi Ascar are time-limited, so if you want to communicate with him you get one shot to ask things. Make sure you cover all you want to.

Hmm, possible questions:

- Does he know anything of interest about Merik;

- How could the information about us leak?;

- Does he know about any other significant people/factions that would hunt Syphar N Kalar, this being one of reasons someone could send assasins after us;

- Does the Jovano connection mean anything to him?

- Any advice he could have on getting to Merik?

Rand wishes he could have gotten more information about the Jovano from the one we spared before he died. It may be something he can look up on his own.

Does Merik have any connections to Adelmo...she wasn't exactly pleased with us when she left.

Well, you can't know that for sure, but you can't think of why he would.

Gallador's questions sound good, but also we should ask if he has any interest in Dark Side stuff. Sith artifacts and the like.

"Great in the Republic of course." Xavier mentions.

Other than that bunch of questions for Ascar, what other plans have we?

We'd best get some nominations for Medicine rolls, for a start. You can get some automatic care as well, but you'll want to push it for more. You count as having medical facilities available (which doubles your effectiveness) but there is no dedicated medical unit at your base (which would triple it). Remember, each character can only use their Medicine skill once and each character can only be targeted by it once.

Characters who were taken out of the fight recover but count now as being at maximum damage before any automatic or Medicine healing comes in. Characters who were not taken out during the fight will have more damage removed automatically.
