Looking for Some Suggestions

By GM Hooly, in Game Masters

Hey Guys,

Well the adventure I have planned for this Saturday coming is the second part of the current adventure the players are on, and the conclusion to the "Season". Here's the crawl:

VEIL OF DARKNESS
EPISODE XII
Heart of the Matter


Trouble has befallen the crew of the Star Wanderer. With their companion KYN -11TE still malfunctioning, the remaining crew travel to the hidden Shadowport of Zad’zer. There they soon learn of the sale of a rare artifact known as the SAILORS LIGHT .

Whilst masquerading as nobles from the D’Bro Shipping Corporation to gain entry to the auction, Padawan El’Sara Vesri learns that the artifact being sold is similar to the GOLDEN ARCADIAN , an object imbued with the Dark Side of the Force.

Hoping to learn more about the artifact, the young Jedi travels with Zax Wattega to the caverns where the artifact was recovered, only to be captured by bounty hunters. Meanwhile, concerned with the disappearance of their companions, Arcz and L’zadarma begin a search of the station....

Just looking for some suggestions. Ask questions if you'd like some clarification of the current situation.

I am not sure what suggestion are you looking for...

Encounters in the shdowport? General story arc in the shadowport? The concept of the MacGuffin?

Hmmm. Season conclusion means can't introduce anything new unless it's supposed to be a cliffhanger plot point. So...

Is the station being searched you mentioned on-planet? If so, the search should lead into a chase (speeder, swoop) which eventually leads to the captured members which the bounty hunters are transporting (unconscious, but easily wake able with a stimpak.) If the station is in orbit, then the bounty hunters transport their prisoners to the station where they've parked their ship (presumably they took some kind of small craft or public shuttle down for a variety of reasons). The chase would then be on foot amongst the various under-levels of the station.

Is Zax Wattega in with the bounty hunters or also a prisoner? If a prisoner, then most definitely a team from D'bro is also looking for him and will end up appearing at the final confrontation. With the artifact being part of an auction, it's unlikely that the team would use it while tracking Zax, but if there is some reasonable purpose for them to do so, that would be nifty, with El'Sara gaining access to it, and some boost/ability/effect when it reaches the confrontation that lets her escape and/or tip the battle over to the player's side. The artifact could disappear when used, either vanishing or merely transporting itself somewhere. Or perhaps it bonds itself to the Padawan, frustrating the D'bro company who obviously can't sell it if it doesn't work for anyone else.
