By April, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Worra can use knowledge lore on 4 purples as its very obscure.

No

OOC: I might post tonight after work but I also just learned that I am GMing my Friday night game group.

The last 2 questions are:

How are Rakghouls created?

Why are you here ?

They bite and a paradoxical virus rewrites the victims DNA.

To Observe.

Questions done, and done. No more. Go now... Go, go, GO!

Let's stun him and take him back...

Shard whispers into Yorrik's ear.

That went shockingly well. The dots apparently fall into a recognizable pattern...

Yup he can't hear, if you intend to jump him you get bonus round before he reacts.

Your aware that they were once part of Worlds held by the self Proclaimed Sith Autocracy during the year 2801BBY .... the Sith Lords Name has been lost..(or at least in the books you read claimed so ). but they say he was able to influence people from great distances.

Worra I want you to read him his rights, I think we need to take him with us... You agree? Shard whispers to him...

He cautiously moves around to the back if the figure waiting to get a signal the others are "a go".

(OOC i want to warn you hes quite a changing boss, he wont go easy )

"Two citizens arrests in one day?" Worra whispers back. "I had not come here expecting to play the role of Sector Ranger. But I suppose adaptability is a virtue."

Worra steps forward toward the robed man. The Kel Dor's hand rested on his blaster, hoping he would not have to draw it. "Imo Kul, for crimes against New Taris and the Republic including sedition, murder, illegal transport of corpses, and intent to commit similar crimes on Felucia, you are under arrest. We will deliver you in good health to the New Taris Order Sector Rangers, who will formally take you into custody. I strongly recommend you turn over your energy sword and come with us peacefully. It will be much better for the both of us if you comply."

Can I make a coercion check to get him to comply? Or more likely just to inflict strain on him or give us the jump in case he decides to fight for it.

Youll need to roll against 3 purples and one black, Also you only will get one bonus dice.

This needs to be rolled before Combat.

Ok, negating the black due to Worra's Plausible Deniability talent.

Coerce Imo Kul into giving in or making a mistake : 2eA+3eP+1eB+3eD 5 successes, 1 Triumph

That went particularly well. Can I say something particularly scathing that makes him reconsider momentarily, meaning that we all get the jump on him? For my triumph, can I have his hand tremble as he draws his lightsaber, dropping in on the ground? If that makes sense, then I'll edit to add narration.

The Human spasms as if some plug has been yanked away. Whatever happened it seems that he was nearly a Conduit for another beings Willpower... The Creature tries to mouth something but ultimately... no sounds emerge ... a great haze has been lifted and you appear to be in some kind of Supply room for the Colony's Sewer system... The creature does seem to have a kind Of lightsaber ( you'll need Knowledge Exotic Weaponry or Force to identify what kind )

The human looks far older and dressed like a Colonist... Maybe if you take the Body back somebody can understand what has been going on.

Thanks to Shards Tinkering... There is a message held in the buffer of the Towns P.A. system, But it has not been broadcast.

( well there was 2 bosses you have managed to defeat without actually fighting them. Well done 20 bonus XP Each) As stated I'm rather busy today. Id like to wrap up E1 next week so I can start on E2 fresh.

.

Durrak was impressed by his team mates. He thought this was going to be a difficult fight.

Did Sar say something about a talk?

As the words escape Worra's antitox mask, Imo Kul's face contorts as if refusing to believe what he is hearing. The human spins to see himself surrounded. Realizing there is no hope of victory, and no chance of escape, he begins to scream. A moment later, the master's hold on the apprentice relinquishes. The human drops to the ground. Worra had expected a fight, but instead found himself catching the miscreant as he collapsed on the floor.

He doubted Kul could hear him anymore, but he spoke to the unconscious prisoner anyways. "Don't worry. We will bring your master to justice. This will not need to happen to you or to anyone else again. Rest easy. Sleep." It was clear that Kul's vile ways were at an end, though Worra was unsure whether the former villain would ever awaken.

"Let's get out of this wretched place. There may be marauding rakghouls above ground that the villagers will need help dealing with. They will be pleased to learn that no more of the wretches will be created, though I doubt that will comfort them for their losses."

Recovering strain post encounter:

Discipline to recover strain : 5eA 3 successes, 4 advantage

Shard whips out his blaster as Worra cuts into him. Just as his finger begins to pull the trigger he sees the figure twitch the expression changes and something in it causes Zyi to pause.

What in the world...

I got you...

Sympathy creeps into his voice as he recognizes a fellow slave. Just as the man crumples up and faints falling towards the ground, Zyi catches him. Falling to his knees Zyi catches his eyes as the flutter. He sees a momentary bit of clarity and relief before they close.

This is more than it seems...

We have a problem... This isn't a villain... This is only a pawn, who pulled his strings? How'd this happen. How'd his strings get pulled? We have stumbled upon something... Very....

This is big!

He stumbles and pauses trying to grasp the gravity of the situation's implications. He looks again at the man's face.

Who are you... How'd you get caught up in this...

...dangerous...

Yorik made sure to smash the brazier of the heroes' blood while Shard and Worra secured Imo Kul, or whatever hollow shell remained of the man, after his faculties seemed to have been burned out. Yorik remained quiet and pensive all the way back to the Golden Hind as he considered the possibilities of some kind of shadowy puppet master who could seemingly control another human being across an entire galaxy. From Korruban to New Taris was... the distance was vast and inconceivable to Yorik and the ability to be able to do that was... Disturbing.

He'd have to speak more with the others to learn more about the Force and what they might be able to do to protect themselves against it if this was how it could be used. It wasn't until they were above ground that his Danger Sense finally began to subside and it wasn't until they were off planet that Yorik allowed himself to relax. The crew had survived their intense run in with the Rakghouls, their intense firefight at the palace, and even returned with two prisoners for the authorities to question. They'd all live to receive a payout and then receive additional profit after selling those artifacts that they found. All in all, this had turned out to be a decent first mission for the new crew and he looked forward to a bright future working for the Banking Guild...

In morning, after taking Cletus to the doctor and surveying what remained of the town, Worra put in a call to a few friends.

"Besa, buddy, how are you doing?" Worra said through his long range communicator. "Listen, I'm out by Gonothar's Palace. The vile Hutt is dead. He was using some kind of disease to control his slaves and turn them into ferocious gladiators. But things got out of hand and, well, the gladiators got out. They ate the Hutt. Well, most of him at least. Mess with the forces of nature and I suppose things can backfire. I'm uploading some visuals for you. They are pretty rough, but I think the galaxy deserves to know what happened here."

Worra was confident that the holojournalist would disseminate the video. Besa was always after a good scoop, and this was the motherlode.

The Kel Dor tracked down the emergency and disaster relief hotline and the sector rangers as well. He would be pleased to turn over Zenith, though he was less sure of what to do with Imo Kul. This town had taken it pretty hard, but there were probably enough credits in some Hutt bank vault that would no longer be needed. Either way, the New Taris system was in a lot better shape than it had been for a long time.

(Check out new occ thread and we're doing a roll call!)

There is Still a block, it will be held in the buffer, Or you can wait Until you are in orbit.

The guys basically brain-dead.

The doctor comes and collects Cletus, and the other Injured, But after talking to the townsfolk, the spider people return later with Several prefabricated buildings including a hospital. The queen appears but seems to look humanoid, its clearly a multi Species alliance. The townsfolk learn that On the slab is a Flying Garden where nobody wants for anything. The spiders offer a routine shuttle service, and start Help to recover the Town.

The ship settles.
