Liberation of Jyrova pt1

[Mike]

After a moment of surprise and a quick move towards his blaster, Kheldim relaxes noting the casual response of Rory.

"Another friend of yours?"

[Paul]

((Just as an FYI, this guy is a sith spirit. Like OB1 after episode IV but instead of a blue glow, he has a red one. I can't remember what his name was, so we just call him Sith Spirit))

Rory: "I guess you can say that. What can we help you with [insert Sith Spirit's Name]

((too much typing. Lets just call him Arus))

Arus: "I can't continue to run forever. I must tell you this before he takes me away to a place I cannot return. YOU (His voice booms as he points to Kheldim) will be the one. The temple I've been at is called Doouxu I've been trying to enter it for days to avoid Ecic (the other sith spirit we've been seeing fighting him). But I've come to understand that I cannot enter, nor will any of you but him. (Once again points to Kheldim). You must destroy the alter. It is one of his many sources of power."

Ecic appears from the forest, his saber is drawn and he runs toward Arus. Arus doesn't move but continues to look at Kheldim. Arus telepathically sends a message to Kheldim, "I trust you." In one swift motion Ecic beheads Arus. The glowing red form of Arus fades into nothingness.

Ecic looks to and says: "You fools, you were able to capture my student, but you will never capture me or my master."

He laughs maniacally then walks off into the forest and fades away.

((FYI you couldn't save Arus. You can't affect spirits.))

Rory drops his saber - it hangs from his fiber cord until he picks it up.

[Mike]

"Well that was..memorable. What kind of Bantha crap he was spouting about no one being able to enter though? Or an altar?"

Kheldim waits to see if more insanity will come from the jungle. "Stealing was simplier.", he mutters.

Looking at the two Jedi, "Either of you know what that is all about?"

[Paul]

Rory: "We meet Arus a while back in a cave. He was in that cave for a very long time. He shows up once in a while with some advice. There was a time when Sabby was being possessed by a sith spirit. We were able to separate the spirit and trap it in another temple. I guess Ecic was the teacher to that spirit. We thought we destroyed a very powerful sith spirit, but it turns out we only destroyed the student."

[Mike]

"Why wouldn't you two be able to enter? If they could not and you can't then is it warded somehow against sith and jedi?"

[Paul]

Rory: "I dunno, I guess we will have to wait until morning"

((wonder where everyone else is?))

[dan]

When Ecic beheads Arus, Sabby collapses to his knees and he starts to shake. He stands up and looks like he is going to run off after the spirit but stops

He looks up to Rory, "He knew so much that we could have learned....So much that I only brushed the surface in the book we found of his. If one so knowledgeable, and with power he had could be vanquished...."

His voice trails off some as he just looks where Arus was.

[Paul]

Rory: "If I gather what he was saying, it seems that our new friend here is the only one that can get in to this temple."

Rory looks to Kheldim and says: "Looks like you just gained a few body guards. Don't make us regret this."

There is a few hours until sunrise. Rory looks at Kheldim and ignites his saber.

Rory: "I think we all need to keep on our toes, shoot me!"

((He is essentially asking you to be his training remote. He doesn't ask you to put in on stun either.))

Rory: "Sabby you want in on this?"

[Mike]

"Make you regret it? I was along to point the way, not explore the depths of some temple where even the Sith cannot go."

With one fluid motion Kheldim removes a blaster (Quick Draw) and fires a shot intended to miss Rory narrowly. "Are you sure that's what you want?"

[Paul]

Rory Nods and deflects the shot away.

((He is blowing off some steam - the character has had anger issues in the past and the best way for him to calm down is to train, meditate or fix something. Changed all your dialog to blue? heehee))

After about an hour of getting shot at Rory calls for a halt. Chances are you'd have needed to change clips a few times. Rory takes out a recharger from the speeder. ((Yes we had one, Kahn found one in that base when we rescued the priest - it isn't fast but it sure beats buying new clips)) Then hands it to Kheldim and bows.

Rory: " Thank you" ((LOL))


((Fast forward button))

We get into the speeder and head off for the temple. Once we get close we see six speeder bikes parked on the path and two normal looking civilian speeders. I'm not going to ask for actions here, we are smart enough to realize that we are not alone. Once we approach the temple ((Stealth checks were made)) we see four stormtroopers and two dark troopers escorting a few traders out of the temple. Kheldim you do recognize the traders, you've done honest business with them in the past. The traders are forced down to their knees and one of the dark troopers says "Any last words scum?" and raises his rifle to the back of the traders head.

[Mike]

(But did I like them or owe them money? Oh well, I am sure I don't like the troopers)
"Still up for more practice?"

[Paul]

((Battles are so boring on the forums, so here are our options.
#1 I could just roll everything on my own.
#2 We could try and use a chat room that uses dice, AIM or PnPaper games both do.
#3 I could just say we win and go on with it.))

[Mike]

(True. Have you ever tried ignoring the rolls and just describing fights like the rest of forum RP? People just have to be reasonable with their actions and the DM reasonable with bending the rules. Otherwise I vote we just win.)

[Paul]

We will win vs 4 stormies and two darkies....wow that sounded bad....For some reason I find it just as fun rolling for you guys. I will roll up the battle later and just post the results. It should be a very simple battle plan, Sabby and Rory take out the dark troopers Khel would prolly take some shots at the normal stormies.

I'll roll up the results when I can. Should be later tonight.

[Paul]

((this was fun - lol))
