The Rescue - For Dan

[Paul]

There is power to be gained from these temples. The point I am trying to make is that it is up to sabby to feel if that is helpful to him. The power being dark side and all.

[dan]

Sabby will stop for a moment at each temple, making a note on his datapad to check out later. He leaves some notes about what his feelings are but doesn't feel a need to go in right now.

[Paul]

You get the feeling that Rorg is stalling. No roll needed as it is obvious.

[dan]

Sabby: "Rorg, why are you stalling? Did Pallaeon drop you off here?"

[Paul]

Rorg :" I just thought you'd want to take a look around."

He shows no emotion in his responses or any drive to find the missing soldiers. He just seems to not really care.

He starts singing again and stroking his beard.

Ktygaavh grins and says nothing. The troops look confused.

[dan]

Sabby: "I don't mind looking around, but now is not the time. Were looking for some lost soliders, and I have a feeling we don't have lots of time to find them safe."

[Paul]

Rorg :" I suppose if I were holding soldiers against their will I'd go to the temple over this ridge. Imps used it often as their base. He goes on about some Imperial general that used to use the base. ((The name is familiar but I don't want to look one up.)) Unless the soldiers are dead."

His last sentence almost sounded like a robot said it, void of any emotion or desire.

When you get to the temple you notice there are a few stormtroopers on guard. Their armor is really beat up and they are in desperate need of relief.

[dan]

Sabby looks over at Rorg, "Thank you for leading us here. I have a feeling that you have been here before and fought some of the soldiers. It must not have been easy if you did fight them. Master, do you have any ideas on how to go into the temple?"

[Paul]

Ktygaavh:”We should do a little more recon to this place. I will take 4 of the soldiers and make my way around the temple to the west. Take Rorg and 2 of the soldier and go around the temple to the east. We will meet up near the back.”


((I’m going to hit the fast forward button a bit here and just do some rolls based on story. Knowledge Sith Lore about this temple: You know nothing; the dark side is strong within its walls.
Stealth checks to move around the temple: Your roll was very low; however no one is looking for you. Stealth VS perception = you are not found.))

Radio communications are out, this does include your communicator thing. All you hear is static and an occasional signal break with people talking. What you can hear of the conversations is that they are just small talk. The one sentence that is very clear is this:

"I'll bet they don't even understand what they've unleashed, and that makes them all the more dangerous."

The voice is almost ghostly and the conversations are repeating and overlapping each other. The conversations seem to be going in a cycle. At first the conversations are hard to hear with a lot of static and interference. The message from above becomes clear, but then overlaps itself to a point that it can’t be understood. The static and overlapping come to a climax then goes silent and the entire process starts over again. The entire loop takes about 6.5 minutes.

[dan]

Sabby listens to the message and lets out a sigh as he hears the full sentence. He looks at Rorg and the 2 soldiers and motions for them to head to the back of the temple. He keeps his eyes open and watch's for Ktygaavh.

He keeps going over what he heard in his mind, about something being unleashed. He has a feeling it is the beast that attacked Rage and the others.

((Assuming Ktygaavh gets there))
Sabby tells him what they saw and tries to come up with ideas on how to get in safely and quickly.

[Paul]

The temple is a dull brown color and is mostly covered in vines. ((Survival check)) On the trip around you don’t see anything in the sand for tracks etc. You do however find a small filthy creek that goes into the side of the temple. There is a metal grate that is at the temple wall where the water goes in. Moss has covered up most of the grate and the water collects in a 10X10 pond just outside the wall. ((Perception)) You found nothing else. When you meet up with Ktygaavh he explains that his group has found a VERY old looking computer terminal in the dense jungle. Looks like a screen in a pedestal or something. It isn’t functioning. The soldiers had to dig it up. There is also a smaller unguarded entrance in the back. The temple is roughly 4 stories high and looks like those Mayan temples from the movies.

[dan]

Sabby nods as he listens to what Ktygaavh and his group found. "I'm thinking we should enter through the back entrance, and then split into two groups. Ktygaavh and four soliders, me, Rorg and the remaining two soliders. That is if you want to go inside with us Rorg. If not we should each take three soliders. This will make it easier to search the temple and hopefully find our lost patrol. Seeing as it appears there is comlink jaming equipment, we will probably have to use telepathy to communicate between the groups until one of us find the jamming equipment. The jamming equipment should be one of our goals here along with hopefully finding the patrol. What do you think Master?"

[Paul]

You enter the temple and it is dark. ((I'm going to assume someone has a glow rod, if not use your saber))

There is only one path. That path leads to a room. That room looks like an exact replica of our council chambers. Even the patched up hole in the ground. The part that is unsetteling is there is dust on everything and the chairs have vines growing around them. No roll is needed to know this has been set like this for a long time.

There are two doors that lead elsewhere. Left and right.

[dan]

Sabby: "I will take 2 soldiers and Rorg and head through the left door, why don't you take the rest and head right? Hopefully we can find out whats going on here."

[Paul]

When you go down the tunnel you see a flash of light and then find yourself in another room. You are alone.

((I have never done anything like this before on a forum. But seeing as we have at least a few weeks before the next star wars game, we should be able to do this. Ok so here we go. Dan you are at #6, where do you want to go next?))
