Opening and Setting the Stage
00:00:00
Speaker
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. In the months following the end of the Clone Wars and the destruction of the Jedi and Separatist forces, former Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine has declared that the Republic will be no more and that a new Empire would rise, with himself as Emperor.
00:00:27
Speaker
Imperial forces are sent out throughout the galaxy bringing rules and regulations under the guise of protection, oppressing and taking advantage of those less fortunate, and taking violent actions against any resistance.
00:00:45
Speaker
But as the galactic forces spread, a small rebel cell led by Senator Bail Organa begins to emerge. This is where we find our adventurers in this dawn of defiance.
Introduction to the Campaign
00:01:00
Speaker
Welcome to Rolling Across the Pond.
00:01:05
Speaker
Hello, welcome to Rolling Across the Pond. My name is Davida and I will be the GM. We are playing Star Wars 5th Edition, the Dawn of Defiance campaign.
00:01:17
Speaker
And we are starting on our ah next section of this. The... Part two.
00:01:29
Speaker
And let's say go ahead and introduce ourselves. Go ahead, Jesse. Hi, I am Jesse, and I don't know why I was so peppy at that moment, but I'm excited to play tonight, I guess.
00:01:43
Speaker
Anyways, I play Genu, the Jedi Guardian. All right, Luke. Oh, hi I'm Luke, and I'm going to be playing Newt, the chess engineer.
00:01:57
Speaker
He's trying to rival Jesse's peppiness. Yay. ah Okay. Bex. That's fine. I'm Bex. I'll be playing Senreal, the half-human, half-fiché-ni Mandalorian.
00:02:12
Speaker
Great. All
Mission Recap and Escape
00:02:13
Speaker
right. So last time we found our players in the midst of a retrieval mission in order to acquire a precious cargo that was in an Imperial docking bay on the The...
00:02:31
Speaker
station the They were on the blue deck of the station. What's it called? The Selzon station. And they successfully acquired their their mission, which was Alderaanian security agent that was frozen in carbonite to be smuggled.
00:02:55
Speaker
off world in order to get to safety back to Alderaan. They worked with Maya, another security agent from Alderaan, and they escaped on the Banshee, which was piloted by Srona O'Keefe, but they haven't met her yet because they're just chilling out and recovering on the ship.
00:03:16
Speaker
And yeah, so let's go ahead and get started. Real quick. ah Yes, go ahead. It's level two, level three. Level two. Two. Wait. Cool. Yeah, you guys are on level two.
00:03:29
Speaker
Just wanted to up check. Okay. Sorry, I realize this is not just an audio medium. This is also a video medium. So me doing this does not help with being subtle.
00:03:42
Speaker
I know, it's hard it's hard to adjust to the fact that we're actually, you know, including video now as well. Yes, I'm trying not to touch my face, but I i just keep doing it now that I think about it.
00:03:56
Speaker
You know, yep, Call me out, why don't you? well me to No, no, no. It's because I like they think like this. I don't know, I have a beard.
00:04:07
Speaker
It's hard to to not. Right, no. Yeah, and pardon me. I'm looking down all the time because I have to look at my notes. but Anyway, and i and also pardon my voice. I do have a little bit of a cold right now, so I may sound a little bruff at the moment.
00:04:22
Speaker
Maybe a little sniffly, but anyway, and still I still wanted to play. So we got our players are all on the Banshee, which is a Baudo class yeah star yacht.
00:04:34
Speaker
don't know how say that. Baudo? Baudo. Class star yacht. And it has multiple...
00:04:43
Speaker
Barracks
Journey to Alderaan
00:04:44
Speaker
or, you know, lodgings, rooms, they've all been claimed. And I should have written down who was staying where and all that, but you guys hopefully remember that. Newt and G are sharing a room.
00:04:59
Speaker
Right. I think that we're the only ones that are sharing a room. Yes. Which room did you guys have? The yellow bed. I think so.
00:05:11
Speaker
yeah yeah And like, I had the blue by myself, was it? I think so. Isaac and Maya had two of the single ones? think?
00:05:23
Speaker
Yes, I think so. And then the captain had the captain. Yeah. oop
00:05:30
Speaker
Right. i don I can't remember if Maya was... don't know if Maya did room with you, I don't know. She must take the other large room or or something. Or the other small room?
00:05:42
Speaker
I can't remember. Oh, no, she was in a small room because...
00:05:47
Speaker
Yeah. new yeah ah Isaac's character got the other small one. Small room. oh Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, you guys are on the ship and in hyperspace about to come out of hyperspace into the Alderaanian system.
00:06:10
Speaker
Anything guys want to do before we... How rude of us not having said hi to the captain this whole time.
00:06:19
Speaker
Yeah. So you you do hear an announcement over the speaker and and saying... were are now arriving at Alderaan if you'd like to come and see the view.
00:06:32
Speaker
So you guys are welcome to go to the cockpit if you'd like. i think at that moment during that announcement, I think I am meditating. And recovering and whatnot. So hopefully i got we've gotten a long rest.
00:06:47
Speaker
Yeah. Did you want to do your thing before we come out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I just, I want to meditate. And I want I don't know, can I roll religion to see if I can catch any Force-sensitive? Especially Newt, if he's Force-sensitive, because I kind of we're we we're bonding we're bonding. And I want to see if that can grow into something As a mentor mentee or something of that sort.
00:07:16
Speaker
Yeah, so go ahead and roll for religion to see if you sense any poor sensitives. It's not that much, actually.
00:07:27
Speaker
Oh, is religion not in here? Oh, it's lore. I assume it's lore. Is that not right? You know what? I'm not familiar with these. Yeah. Is there like an arcana? Because you could do that too.
00:07:41
Speaker
Maybe. I think and i stephen it's technology. I don't think it's. Oh, right. ah um
Meeting with Senator Bail Organa
00:07:51
Speaker
Could I use like the lore?
00:07:53
Speaker
Or meditate? Could I meditate and roll and see? In a general sense? Yeah, i guess. I got plus zero to most of it anyways. Right. Yeah, if you want to do that it's only It's only a 10.
00:08:11
Speaker
Okay. You maybe ah started to sense something and you don't know where it was coming from. And then the announcement kind of ah took you out of your meditation. I would have distracted you.
00:08:22
Speaker
I am going to take that as new to something. So I'm just goingnna i'm going to open my eyes. like Do you want me to roll like luck just to how much I have, Davina?
00:08:34
Speaker
I don't know. Oh. Because you can decide it for yourself. But if you want right it if you want it to just be chance. I want to say you're not.
00:08:45
Speaker
Okay. ah Just because that would, I mean. Mandalorians are an endangered species in my body. Right.
00:08:58
Speaker
just Not Mandalorians, I'm sorry. Metachlorians. Those are two very different days. I was like, wow, what did Mandalorian do to They're two similar. and How are you related to them?
00:09:16
Speaker
I would say you're not. I would say that there's no force. sense I mean, like, yeah. all All creatures have, like, the force or whatever, but there's some that are more sensitive to it. And I would say that you don't you're not sensitive to the force.
00:09:31
Speaker
Okay, that's fine. I will still take it as possibly him, so I will open my eyes and I will say, Newt, of course.
00:09:44
Speaker
ah Well, he just pulled out a one that he rolled, so that just completely um satisfies my decision. It exactly hurts me to try to use the four. yeah just say, Newt, uh,
Preparing for the Felucia Mission
00:09:59
Speaker
At some point, I'd like to have a conversation with you, that's all right. Oh. I'm sorry. No, a good one. ah good one. I'd like to explain a few things of what's happened during our journey so far.
00:10:13
Speaker
And how I can do better. Okay. No, no, no. You are doing fan- I can't do better? You can always do better. We always can better. So I am doing bad. I'm sorry. You're doing average. You are doing average.
00:10:28
Speaker
um I've disappointed God.
00:10:32
Speaker
i just, well, live by the code and I walk out the door towards the ah ah viewing area.
00:10:45
Speaker
Okay. All right. So you guys are headed to the cockpit, I'm assuming. Yes. Yep. I double check all the new locations where I put my new weapons at because I have to have them on hand and head down.
00:11:00
Speaker
Very satisfied with my new look. Great. So you come into the... cockpit and you see Maya and Douglas are already in the cockpit and Douglas looks like he's fiddling with something trying to be suspicious or like sneaky about it or whatever but he's small so he's like underneath something just like looking at wires or I don't know fiddling with something and then Maya introduces you to Serona. She is the pilot.
00:11:30
Speaker
Serona O'Keefe. And she says, well, hi, I'm Serona. I'm seroa i glad you guys made it out safe. And this is my droid.
00:11:42
Speaker
RX-13, or you can call him Crash. He's ah my navigator pilot. RX series. If you guys are familiar outside of character with the Star Tours pilot, that is the...
00:11:57
Speaker
type of pilot that is that's the type of droid this this this droid is he's like uh he kind of looks like he has a visor that comes down anyway it's it's the uh he's the he's the type
Arrival and Challenges on Felucia
00:12:11
Speaker
of droid I like Star Wars Star Tours if you guys are interested I see him and And this one actually doesn't... This one starts beeping at you in binary. He doesn't speak basic, so... What does he say?
00:12:26
Speaker
i chose binary as one of the ones I understand. ah Oh, very good. Ooh. Throwing down the gauntlet. I'm curious. Yeah, he says, welcome, I guess. I don't really want more people on the ship, but whatever.
00:12:43
Speaker
I'm just, fair enough, fair enough.
00:12:47
Speaker
I look at Cinderella and I'm like, do you understand him? You could actually... not Since you're in the car cockpit, if you did a perception, you could possibly see the readout display because he is hooked up to the... Oh, okay. i so But before I look, I'm i'm just like, you understand him. And then I look around, natural twenty yeah he his his You would see the display ah of his like the translation. of i say
00:13:18
Speaker
Did you really understand him?
00:13:22
Speaker
Did you not look at this display? And Serona will just say, I'm sorry about him. He he doesn't really get along with new people. He's just a little bit grumpy.
00:13:35
Speaker
um He's useful, but he's just, know, yeah He's seen the darker times and they've kind of influenced his way of thinking, I guess.
00:13:48
Speaker
I like him. He's got character. Yeah. Can i just for, I guess for flavor, just walk up and be like, but I want move.
00:14:00
Speaker
Can you move a little left? It's bugging me because you're going to hit that asteroid in a few seconds.
00:14:08
Speaker
got 22. For piloting. so For piloting? yeah okay Okay. You're your back to piloting. Yeah, i so so I try to be his friend, but then I was like, oh. And then a little bit and he'll just beep back at you. i know I saw it. I'm already... I don't... Sorry.
00:14:28
Speaker
i new. is What's your name? Is reading the screen or understanding binary? i Can you just stop? so I should see if i even... Do you know binary?
00:14:40
Speaker
I know, but seeing if I no if i saw this other the display. Yeah, you would you would notice the display, I think. Because you're you're you're familiar with piloting, so you would know that there would be a display for droids.
00:14:56
Speaker
Like binary translation or whatever. yeah I would say, yeah, you notice.
00:15:03
Speaker
ah but Sorry, yeah, you you knew that. i I'm Newt, by the way. What's your name?
00:15:09
Speaker
Rx13 or you can call me Crash. Well, nice to meet you. What that? 1-1-2-1-1-1-0-1-1-1-0-1-1-1-0. Rx13. Rx13. Just call me Crash, please.
00:15:22
Speaker
Can I speak in binary? He's still saying this in binary, correct? Yes. um I don't think you... Does it does't say you can speak in binary or does it say understand? Ah,
00:15:35
Speaker
don't know it was just so you could pick another language and i picked binary but let me let's i i don't have that so i just no i don't even if it was if it was something you could understand it would say in your character sheet only and would in parentheses afterwards it would say understand that's typically for like people who don't have vocal cords so like ah A dog could understand multiple languages, but it can't speak multiple languages.
00:16:04
Speaker
just up here. While she's looking this up, I look at, or I walk up to the pilots, say, Sirona, excuse me, but why is RX-13's nickname Kraff?
00:16:19
Speaker
So why is his name Kraff? Oh, that's ah just so an inside joke between me and him. Yeah. Okay. ah I, I, it's just curiosity. There is no, there was no intent of discomfort or anything. I just was curious.
00:16:38
Speaker
Well, I just, I just believe that, you know, if you name something after your worst idea or feelings, then you're more avoiding it, you know? ah Oh, that's very wise of you.
00:16:50
Speaker
Then I turn back to the pilot and sorry. Nice to meet My name is Loneliness. um,
00:16:58
Speaker
oh um Do you want me to call you that too? Sure. sir
00:17:07
Speaker
Okay, loneliness. Hi, nice to meet you. Okay. On the language thing, it just it's under ah her being half-he-shany. Okay. And it says you could speak, read, and write galactic basic in one extra language of your choice.
00:17:23
Speaker
Okay, so you can speak in binary. Okay. And then I tell the droid, you know, throwing him out the airlock is still an option. As a joke, of course. Right. It's all crap.
00:17:36
Speaker
I do look at Newt in sincerity and say, i am so sorry, loneliness. I did not mean to not call you that from the start. What?
00:17:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah, you can call me whatever. and like you're You named everything, so you decide what you want to call me. And you flash, and so now you guys are approaching the planet, and you see the beautiful landscape of ah mountains, water, greenery, and you guys see the big palace, and over the intercom, you hear the landing platform clearing you guys for landing on the palace's landing pad at the Aldera spaceport.

00:21:07
Speaker
Would the Rebel Alliance be willing to, like, purchase it for medical purposes to get off, yeah and you any kind of black market and stuff? Well, I can definitely talk to Senator Bail Organa about that. And yeah, we could could see about purchasing that.
00:21:26
Speaker
or i mean Or you could donate it to the Rebel Resistance if you... about discount? ah Perhaps. well i i' I'll talk to the senator about it.
00:21:38
Speaker
i don't don't have much money. but um exactly do you Are you pushing it in the tray right now As you guys are walking? Are you pushing it in that grab lift?
00:21:50
Speaker
You're like, can I sell this? yeah So you guys go down to the yeah the cargo bay. And yeah she's getting the this carbonite frozen security agent.
00:22:05
Speaker
And I guess, yeah, you can grab your spice if you want to do that. up I want to get rid of it because I just want money, I don't want it to go on the black market because I i have standards.
00:22:16
Speaker
Right. No, of course. and so I appreciate that. And so shea she she has you guys exit the banshee and you are greeted by several Alderaanian honor guards and one of Bailargana's servants who escorts you into the palace.
00:22:36
Speaker
Where the Alderini... Servant, what is your name? um And they put their heads down. I'm sorry. What did you say? Your name.
00:22:49

00:23:04
Speaker
So if you follow me. So then, yeah, you go into the Grand Hall. It's ornately decorated. And this is where Alderaanian royalty holds court.
00:23:20
Speaker
ah You are given refreshments. And yeah, the the doors of the Grand Hall open. Oh, yeah. So you guys are given refreshments and asked to wait while they're unloading the cargo.
00:23:35
Speaker
A little box of spice next me. I feel like want to carry this around. Serial. Serial. I'd love to know more about you because I feel like we got off the wrong foot.
00:23:49
Speaker
ah can Can we start over? What do you want to
00:23:58
Speaker
What would you like to share? I'm Senreal Vistla. I'm a Mandalorian. I'm human anti-Shaney. but I mean i'd like ah vibro daggers.
00:24:13
Speaker
And you learned your fighting styles and techniques from your Mandalorian parents? Yeah. ah My dad's Mandalorian. My mom's Eshany.
00:24:24
Speaker
And so my dad prefers all the blasters, heavy armor. My mom prefers the knives and, you know light armor, more ah agility. So kind of a mix of both.
00:24:37
Speaker
But at least you don't run out of bullets with a knife. That is a way to look at yes.
00:24:46
Speaker
Yeah. Wow. Well, it is very nice to have... gone on this journey with you and I pleased to continue it if you wish to. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask.
00:25:01
Speaker
I do not plan on that to happen again. Because that was a pretty low move, knocking out your teammates and letting get shot. I agree.
00:25:13
Speaker
It was unintentionally getting you. And I shall be more careful next time. As long as you fight on the other side of the room.
00:25:25
Speaker
Oh, yes, of course. i will I will aim away from you. And and loneliness, ah afraid of God, or fear of disappointing God.
00:25:39
Speaker
ah i'm going to call you Newt again. that yeah I also apologize to you for that. And, yeah. I was in the way. you are my you You have a right to be mad at me.
00:25:53
Speaker
I was in the way. I'm sorry. No. No. No. no No excuses for knocking this out. Come on, Mutes. Grow a backbone. Well, I fell asleep during a fight.
00:26:07
Speaker
Of course you could be mad at But that wasn't your fault. It wasn't my fault. It was mine. You could have died. But we were asleep. There's probably more of a chance of dying while fighting.
00:26:23
Speaker
oh You say to the person who got shot while laying down asleep. Well, it was your fault. I thought you were a Mandalorian. That is the god of this world's fault to wake you up. She had to shoot you.
00:26:38
Speaker
ah
00:26:40
Speaker
i believe that was a conscious decision by the G.O.
00:26:46
Speaker
but
00:26:49
Speaker
me
00:26:52
Speaker
Godmaster. The Godmaster. So, Newt, what brings you here? Why why have you come? Do you not want me to see?
00:27:03
Speaker
ah I am so glad you are with us. I just would like to get us to know each other. We are a crew. We must work together.
00:27:14
Speaker
Meanwhile, Douglas is just stuffing his face with snacks and like drinking a bunch of stuff.
00:27:21
Speaker
And Douglas, I see you are enjoying this time, so I will leave you to it.
00:27:28
Speaker
Anything, Newt? Would you like to share anything? Would you like to tell us what you're doing here? Why, you know, you decided to join this journey? Any guidance of any kind?
00:27:41
Speaker
Just you.
00:27:44
Speaker
Why were you on that other planet anyway? Whatever its name was. Where the space guard It's Brent Hall. Brent Hall, yeah.
00:27:56
Speaker
Yeah, sounds pretty in character for you, honestly. not surprised. And the doors of the Great Hall are opened. And in strides, a middle-aged man who has a well-capped goatee and is wearing senatorial robes.
00:28:12
Speaker
Easily recognizable as the as the Senator Bail Organa. He smiles and nods to the servants before turning to you. Welcome to Alderaan, he says.
00:28:25
Speaker
i had hoped we might meet under more pleasant circumstances, but unfortunately, the Empire makes almost everything unpleasant. Still, I am glad to see that the difficulties at the spaceport above Brent Hall didn't impede you much.
00:28:39
Speaker
Maya told me of your brave heroics in rescuing my security agent from who was who was in the Carbonite block. it was your Your deeds did not go unnoticed, and I appreciate your efforts.
00:28:59
Speaker
And as a reward... for assisting me and the Rebel Alliance. i will give you each 500 credits as a reward.
00:29:13
Speaker
and And during this time, as soon as he entered, ah g is standing. He is already standing at attention. like out of effect And Newt is like behind him, but trying to do everything like him just to be like, he knows what he's doing.
00:29:29
Speaker
So I'm going to do everything that he does. And Douglas runs up to the senator and grabs the the credits and goes back to eating snacks.
00:29:41
Speaker
I, too, walk up and I, yeah, I walk up and I, thank you very much, senator. Yeah, I'll accept the credits, too. Can I ah roll a sleight of hand?
00:29:54
Speaker
What? Why? So I put it in G's pocket as, like, an apology. bit of annoying.
00:30:02
Speaker
ah Sure. have to roll perception? Perception. Roll perception. Did you say it was 500? 500 credits, yes.
00:30:16
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, you you probably succeeded. i mean, we'll see what Jesse rolls. He rolled a natural 20? Yeah. Oh, I only got a 23. twenty 21. I rolled an 18.
00:30:31
Speaker
Okay, so Jesse put 1,000 credits into your thing and Luke put nothing in there. Are you putting all of it in just some of it?
00:30:41
Speaker
I'll put all of it. that Yeah. Okay. i don't I don't want him to know. I just like... He doesn't know. He doesn't realize it. He might realize it later.
00:30:52
Speaker
Where did all these credits come from? Sure.
00:31:00
Speaker
So then the senator says, I've asked to join me today because the agents of Vine that you've rescued seem to think you could be trusted. And since you worked hard to help them, I believe I can put my faith in you as well.
00:31:15
Speaker
I have a task that needs to be completed. But unfortunately, my status as ah senator prevents me from taking care of it myself or even sending someone directly associated with the royal family.
00:31:31
Speaker
The planet Felucia, familiar with it and it, was ravaged during the Clone Wars. and ah But once the fighting was over, the Empire set up a permanent facility on the world.
00:31:43
Speaker
Nothing large, just a small garrison where they could keep prisoners out of the way. ah Some months ago, I was contacted by an Imperial Admiral who was disillusioned with the way the Empire had twisted the once great Republic.
00:31:58
Speaker
and he began feeding me some sensitive information. A little over a week ago, that communication stopped. My agents tell me that the the Admiral has been taken Felucia, where he's being held against his will.
00:32:12
Speaker
I'd like you to learn what has become of him and rescue him. of Of course, Douglas asks what's in it for us. I don't want to roleplay too much for him but because Isaac isn't able to make it, but I do think that he might be in it for the money. so and And so the senator says, each of you will receive 2,000 credits, and if things go well, I will guarantee more work when you return. Additionally, if the admiral has much information, as I believe he does, this could be an excellent chance to strike a blow against the Galactic Empire.
00:32:47
Speaker
I, ah G kind of looks looks away for a moment and then he looks towards the senator and he says, I'm sorry, Senator.
00:33:01
Speaker
ah Just, I was, I am I guess I like, take i like show my lightsaber. oh you. And ah just a subtle, just a quick like.
00:33:15
Speaker
Right. And I do not wish to put risks to these, my fellow crewmen. is Is it appropriate for me to go?
00:33:32
Speaker
Indeed. it safe? Your experience will greatly help this mission, I'm sure. and as you may have known, am I free to as well be that here?
00:33:52
Speaker
before we were Of course, ah there there is no opposition to any Jedi. I thought they had not survived. You are the first Jedi I've seen since the end of the Republic. And yes, he is lying.
00:34:10
Speaker
ohlao i ah Can I roll insight on that? See if he is lying. If you'd like to, you can. Okay, I'm going to do.
00:34:22
Speaker
It's going to be only a 12. He got a 13, so you can't tell. I look down and I say, yes, we... How did how did you survive?
00:34:39
Speaker
ah i stuck by the code, but I understood where sacrifices needed to be made. Well, I'm glad you made it out safe.
00:34:52
Speaker
and Yeah. I'm sorry for your loss because I'm sure there were many. and so With all the Jedi wiped out, it's many. yeah too many They were the protectors of peace in the galaxy. And i ah believe that they were seeking good for the people of the Republic.
00:35:13
Speaker
And so I believe that you also desire that unless... Yes, of course. course Good peace, harmony.
00:35:25
Speaker
It's all for the Force. Yes. Yes, thank you. and Well, do you have any questions about the mission? are you guys oh Do you want to do this mission? or i mean, it is it is up to you. You don't have to.
00:35:43
Speaker
you know I can give you more information if you'd like. or ah Will we have a pilot with us? Or will... Oh, yes, yes. You will be traveling with Serona. I've already spoken to her, Serona O'Keefe of the Banshee. She has agreed to be your pilot on this mission and any future...
00:36:11
Speaker
possible missions that that I may have for you. She is... ah she will work She works for me on missions that I request, and and if you guys are okay with that, I could send you on the Banshee with her.
00:36:29
Speaker
Yes. That's a good fit. I think, if I'm not mistaken, Newt, if I'm not overstepping my bounds, you were... Backseat piloting, so maybe you can assist Sirona occasionally. yeah Oh, are you a pilot too?
00:36:50
Speaker
Newt, was it, your name? Mm-hmm. Well, always good to have another pilot on hand, if need be. Yeah. Yeah. yeah I think throughout the entire time that, like, G is talking, he's...
00:37:04
Speaker
he doesn't remember anything. So he doesn't know what a Jedi is. So whenever shee sounds like it's happy, he's like, yeah. And then whenever he sounds like, would it be safe? And he's like, oh, yeah, no, like nodding head.
00:37:16
Speaker
Yeah. And he kind of is taken they're like surprised when, when his name is says like, I, yeah, I'm paying attention to what? And so, yeah, yes.
00:37:29
Speaker
Right. ge Yes. Yeah. I can help. I can assist. awkward smile. is is there Is this a espionage mission or is this a diplomatic mission?
00:37:45
Speaker
the Well, the Imperial presence on Felucia is light. ah It is a secret facility. So they don't have a large they don't have a large number of troops. Our knowledge of the facility's existence is of great advantage.
00:38:02
Speaker
But you shouldn't there is There's more presence a more imperial presence in the large cities, but you shouldn't need to go there. So, I mean, it's up to you how you handle it. But if you can do it stealthily, that could be an option or whatever. I'm not sure if he's still in the prison. That's why you know the last my informants told me about was that he was in that prison facility. Yeah.
00:38:31
Speaker
Hopefully there's nothing worse that has befallen him, but I guess that is why I need your help and your assistance. If you're able to rescue him, then I would greatly appreciate it, but whatever you can do.
00:38:44
Speaker
I think I only have two more questions. is Do we have a floor plan of this prison? I believe that Serona, sent her a general map of the area.
00:39:01
Speaker
Not sure if she has the layout the prison. That was something you would I'd have to check with her. And my last request or question is, if you've heard from... If you hear any news of Killarin Beck or Kit Fisto, my... Killarin was my Jedi Master.
00:39:25
Speaker
yeah And Kit Fisto was a mentor of mine. So... I'll let you know if I hear any word of them. Any word. I'm so and not sure they were were able to survive the Jedi Purge, but any information I can get, I will definitely.
00:39:48
Speaker
So, yeah, i think I think that's I don't have any other questions. I don't know any anything else. Do we know when we're leaving? I kind of stopped paying attention for a brief bit. so Well, you could leave immediately. And um if if you don't, I mean, the sooner we can hear about him, the better. But yeah, if you if you don't mind leaving.
00:40:13
Speaker
Is there any equipment we can take for healing?
00:40:19
Speaker
Yes, I could equip you with med packs if you guys need those. Speaking of healing... Speaking of healing, I've been sharing around this thing.
00:40:35
Speaker
Acquired in our last battle. Yes. It is common spice. From what I've heard, it's usable in healing stuff and other stuff beyond the street stuff. ah huh Would you guys be willing to buy it at, say, ah half off?
00:40:57
Speaker
Oh, wow. This is a... Yeah, I think we might be able to do that. Let me look into it and I'll i'll talk to my supply agent and they'll get you compensated for that. Thank you very much. I think we could use this.
00:41:19
Speaker
Sweet. Better than it being on the streets and it helps out the rebels. of course. It can be used for... and less savory uses. isn But definitely could be used in medicine, which is highly appreciated.
00:41:36
Speaker
So thank you. Okay, so they will get you set up before you leave. Yeah, I think we're i think i think we we look we head out pretty soon. think after we get the med kits.
00:41:52
Speaker
Yes. As the um player and not the character, is what do I do about... Do I get rid of the plane of spice and add credits?
00:42:06
Speaker
ah One of the servants will come and take it from you and i give you the credits in ah and like before you guys leave, basically. Yeah. Okay.
00:42:17
Speaker
Yeah. So that would be... Sorry. So yes so that half price is 1,000. Okay. okay pound And it's 50 pounds. So 50,000. That's the reason why I was like, it's a lot of awesome.
00:42:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I mean.
00:42:39
Speaker
If you're selling it at half price, and they could definitely use it. So you can add 50,000 your thing.
00:42:51
Speaker
thing to your pouch or whatever. There's a lesson for you guys. Just steal it. I think the tide's changing. I, as as Jesse, I looked at my credits and I was like, I'm loaded.
00:43:05
Speaker
i have no worries. like I am fine. Now you have 50,000. fifty thousand I'm like, you know what? I'm no longer the richest person in this room.
00:43:18
Speaker
very I may have started out as the poorest of us. ah Yeah. Is there anything else you need? ah Equipment before you set off on your quest?
00:43:32
Speaker
Yeah. Might need some better equipment. Sure, sure. If you you you want, I could have Lily escort you to the the armory. if um ah Yeah. And then better equip you for the mission.
00:43:49
Speaker
ah would be great. Thank you. All right. Perfect. Well, I hope ah your mission is successful and um thank you so much for serving um and and helping out. Hopefully we'll see you next time.
00:44:06
Speaker
I also hope your mission is successful. but my I
00:44:13
Speaker
they yeah apologize for my Truman. my <unk>man ah Thank you very much. And we will leave you with Nothing to apologize for. i i greatly appreciate your service.
00:44:25
Speaker
Well, there's plenty you to apologize for. Just ask him. He's so he's been disappointed in me all day. No, I'm sure that's not true. But thank you either way.
00:44:38
Speaker
And he departs. And you guys go to the armory.
00:44:45
Speaker
Okay, so ah what would you guys like to purchase? It's the Vibro Shields for me. How much is it? Because I don't see it on here. $325. Okay. I'm
00:45:00
Speaker
not saying it should be, but is he just giving it to us? and No, he's selling it to you. Okay. Yeah, so I'll buy it. $325. Okay. yeah okay
00:45:14
Speaker
Yeah, they would have that.
00:45:22
Speaker
right, Bex, Luke, guys want do anything? Get anything extra? I don't know if you guys have the weapons thing in front of you, and or or just wants me to list some things and I can tell you different types of things they have.
00:45:41
Speaker
I was just thinking, because I couldn't see very many interesting like oh light weapons. Yeah. And I'll double check here. so I was thinking maybe I should get an upgraded blaster.
00:45:56
Speaker
But most of the ones I'm seeing are two-handed, which is not my style. Right. Which one do you have? but For blaster pistol? Yeah.
00:46:06
Speaker
blaster pistol Blaster pistol and a holdout.
00:46:15
Speaker
Oh, I also have the stun baton from earlier. There's for 750 credits, kinetic. That's one-handed.
00:46:25
Speaker
that's ah one-handed
00:46:31
Speaker
There's a heavy pistol. Same, but energy damage. And that one is also one Oh, no, it does require strength.
00:46:44
Speaker
Oh, actually, same. Oh, and then there's a revolver, but that also says strength 11. I'm not sure what that means. Oh, or maybe. While. Iron pistol.
00:46:56
Speaker
And rails looking and you're and you're talking. I do you say, hey. That's an extra 500 credits in my pocket.
00:47:09
Speaker
Anybody lose this?
00:47:12
Speaker
In your pocket? Yeah.
00:47:17
Speaker
That's that's silly. i yes, I agree.
00:47:23
Speaker
Maybe you're just bad with money.
00:47:27
Speaker
i quite possibly could be.
00:47:30
Speaker
Well, then if anybody needs anything, it's on me.
00:47:38
Speaker
Then can I also have a shield like you? Yes, of course.
00:47:48
Speaker
I will pay for newest shield. Okay. What weapon would you suggest?
00:48:01
Speaker
I know of two weapons, my staff and my lightsaber. It's all I need. And there if you knew more, which one would you say?
00:48:18
Speaker
Jesse and both agree. The staff and the lightsaber, all he needs.
00:48:27
Speaker
I'm all set. Thank you, Lily, for taking us here. And thank you, kind merchant, for having us. Of course. And then, Bex, did you want to get a different blaster then that you saw that you liked? her did Do they possibly have a chained light dagger?
00:48:46
Speaker
Chained light dagger? Is that in the light weapon section? I assume so. Let me look that up. It just popped up. It's... really not like any more helpful than the other s stuff I've got.
00:48:59
Speaker
Right. Sounds cooler. It's a flame. Cause then it's a light weapon, but I could like flick it around. Right.
00:49:11
Speaker
Either that or maybe, uh, uh, what is it? Could go for something that have proficiency in.
00:49:20
Speaker
Though technically have proficiency in all weapons. Oh yeah, sure. I don't think they have any light weapons. Sorry. Okay. um Do they have a, what it, vibroflare?
00:49:34
Speaker
You mean flail? Flail, yes. Flare. like Flail, flail. I was like, there's no flare. Flail. I wasn't reading it. I was like recalling in my memory. Right.
00:49:50
Speaker
And my memory may be at least slightly dyslexic. Probably. yeah I would say they had that. How much does that cost? 500. That one 500 credits.
00:50:04
Speaker
Huh. Okay. Then I'll get one of those. Okay, and that's 2d4 of kinetic damage. Nice.
00:50:18
Speaker
Kill, kill. Actually, put the shield back. Oh, wait, do you have dexterity of 11, though?
00:50:26
Speaker
Yeah, I have dexterity of 17. Okay, good. Yeah. It looks like you just have to... required aid You just require dexterity of at least 11 for that weapon.
00:50:42
Speaker
What did you say, Luke? You can put the shield back. We 300 before, right? 500. Oh. Oh, 300? don't know. the five hundred um oh ah three do you have i don't know i I didn't take any of that money.
00:50:59
Speaker
i think only Douglas took that money.
00:51:04
Speaker
oh yeah. I'm trying to think how much I have.
00:51:09
Speaker
it is There's a better weapon that seems to be suited to me. Yeah, I'll pay for that if you don't want the shield. Yeah.
00:51:22
Speaker
What weapon is it? The revolver. Okay.
00:51:34
Speaker
Okay. Do you have a strength of 11 at least?
00:51:39
Speaker
think I believe so.
00:51:43
Speaker
We'll check that. That one does require... i have a strength of 11.
00:51:49
Speaker
I have a strength of 13. 16, sorry. Nice. ah
00:51:58
Speaker
And yet I have the most, probably the lightest weapon is the staff. I guess the lightsaber is also light weapon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just kind of.
00:52:11
Speaker
That's funny. The price is different on the weapons section, the 5e, on the website than it is in the handbook. Oh, interesting. It's actually cheaper, I think.
00:52:23
Speaker
No, I mean, that the the flail was 500 on the website. Well, yeah, but that one wasn't in the list. um on yeah The revolver is in both. The revolver says $625 on the website, whereas in the handbook it says $750.
00:52:39
Speaker
But I'll do it for $625. No, it's okay. You can put it back. I'm too weak. No. Oh, you're too weak. You're not strong enough. Oh, you can't wield it. Yeah. yeah So I'm like, can you buy this? What? What?
00:52:55
Speaker
I will buy it. I will buy it. And I will keep it on me for future if you gain your strength. No, no, no. It's it's super expensive, so don't.
00:53:05
Speaker
No, I did i bought it. It's fine. It already happened. All right. Thank you so much for your purchase. and ah Are you guys ready to get going now? There yeah are. um Yes.
00:53:16
Speaker
Oh, and you guys each add a med pack to your equipment, even if you already have one. Okay. Because ah they said that they would supply you with medical supplies.
00:53:29
Speaker
All right.
00:53:33
Speaker
Just a regular med pack? Yes, a regular med pack. Did Maya give me one? Sorry keep asking questions from my previous game. She bought extra ones.
00:53:45
Speaker
Yes, she did. You have You have one. Now you have two. Which is perfect because you're kind of like the doctor-y kind of guy usually. Are you in this too? Is your character medically inclined? I imagine in your head, i was the buff dumb guy.
00:54:03
Speaker
but I don't know what in my head you are. It's changing as you roleplay as him. But oh i bear out know is all I know really is you're you're a pilot and you know you you have amnesia.
00:54:19
Speaker
i Do you continue to forget stuff or is it just a specific date that you've forgotten stuff from? ah That's ever-changing as well.
00:54:33
Speaker
but no i think I think it is. ah Like from a specific time. I probably say like periodically. Like I'll remember from the train onwards, but at some point there will be a new start. What train?
00:54:52
Speaker
From the, sorry. think he means the convoy. Yeah. that's the The start of the campaign. The start of the campaign. Yeah. Yeah. But at some point, I'll reset to a new starting point.
00:55:06
Speaker
Okay, sounds good. Yes, Vex? I know we just finished purchases and stuff, but could I possibly buy some thermal detonators? Thermal detonators. That sounds amazing. Yes, you can do that.
00:55:21
Speaker
Yes.
00:55:26
Speaker
ah They cost $2,000 each. How many would you like to buy?
00:55:31
Speaker
Uh, let's go. Let's see. 2000 each. So five. All right.
00:55:42
Speaker
Not a bad idea. There are other types of explosives. If you guys want to buy those. Yeah. Cheaper ones. Yeah. There's cheaper ones. ah Fragmentation grenade, a gas grenade, ion grenade, plasma grenade, fragmentation mine, gas mine. I'm assuming those are, well,
00:56:01
Speaker
They're little bigger. And incendiary of mine.
00:56:05
Speaker
I am heading to the ship now. Okay. Yeah. yeah You guys are headed to the ship then. I don't know about everybody else, but I'm heading to the ship. Yeah. I'll be like, oh, and this looks, oh, he's gone.
00:56:16
Speaker
I have enough weapons, honestly, but, you know, how I'd be.
00:56:24
Speaker
All right. it Sounds good. All right. So you guys are headed back to the ship where Serona is there to meet you and says, well, I'm glad that you guys are able to travel with me again. Are you guys ready to get going?
00:56:39
Speaker
Yes. All right. We're ready and gluing. mean Alright, you guys board and head off for Felucia. And she tells you, well have you guys been to Felucia before?
00:56:54
Speaker
Just chatting with you. I don't know. Don't believe so. Yeah, my parents didn't have any jobs that took them out that way. If there were any Keldorian delegates there, I had visited for a short time.
00:57:12
Speaker
If there wasn't, then you haven't visited? Yes, that is that is my understanding because ah I visited a lot of places. Oh, yes, yes. Well, you might have recognized it as a very overgrown sort of climate with lots of fungi, huge fungi, massive creatures, lots of overgrowth.
00:57:32
Speaker
It's a wild sort of untamed planet. Just when you are there, be careful to avoid too much of the wildlife. it It can be dangerous. remember hearing stories of people going there.
00:57:44
Speaker
think most of them died. Well, yeah. That's probably true. So you guys are going to but rescue the the atom Admiral? ah Nathan Gilders is his name, I think.
00:57:56
Speaker
That is correct. Yes. Well, I'll definitely be your ride. I'm not sure I'll join you for the actual recovery, but yeah. And then you guys jump to hyperspace. Do you have anything you guys want to do in hyperspace before we arrive?
00:58:12
Speaker
I think I, and his G, would just go up to Newt and be like, Newt, can we have a conversation? Yeah, I guess we should. Okay.
00:58:24
Speaker
Then shall we go to our quarters and have a conversation? Yeah, it's better that just you and I know my mistakes.
00:58:32
Speaker
I follow. Fear those. And you hear a beeping from the the um crash. What's he saying?
00:58:44
Speaker
Oh, this ought to be good. I wish I could hear what's up. This conversation. Drew, do you have any, like, mics around, maybe? No, we we don't surveil.
00:58:54
Speaker
We don't have surveillance in the rooms. I know. but That's boring. Yeah. What else do you
00:59:01
Speaker
Lyle thing? and As we get to the room, I just say, Newt, I noticed to have you you and I are are bonding and getting become more friends. and you seem that you seem to think I'm some sort of god.
00:59:23
Speaker
And...
00:59:27
Speaker
i I'm not a god. I am only... Wielding what we all know as the Force.
00:59:41
Speaker
And...
00:59:44
Speaker
I would love to... Seek that with you for a moment. To see if you can channel it in certain ways.
00:59:56
Speaker
Like a cleric. If you're up for that. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. yeah And I think he just takes them through meditation.
01:00:08
Speaker
But i
01:00:11
Speaker
just to see ah if he can, if we can like channel the force together and like, I don't know, get him to. Do you want to roll again, Jesse, for that? Yeah, yeah, sure.
01:00:26
Speaker
Oh, that's that's definitely not going to be anything. Only 16.
01:00:31
Speaker
Well, it's much better than last time, though. yeah It is, but I hope for a nat 20. Yeah. You're still not sensing anything from him, but you do sense something.
01:00:43
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. okay I would say if you're focusing on him, you're not you're not getting anything from him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. mid anyway But there does seem to be something. Okay. Okay.
01:00:55
Speaker
and I kind of open one eye and and I just... ah and Newt, are you awake? Yeah, I'm here.
01:01:08
Speaker
you You seem to be trying very hard. and I doing it wrong? No, no, no, never. You cannot channel the Force wrong.
01:01:19
Speaker
It is... We all... have our place in the force and we all should strive to do and and and to wield it correctly
01:01:33
Speaker
some of us have a greater connection to it and i thought what i felt earlier was you But as as as we're meditating, I'm not sensing that there's anything coming from you as a right now. as As I can see in your your your head is throbbing. I can see the veins in your neck just shaking so hard. You shouldn't be going this hard trying to get the force.
01:02:02
Speaker
Okay, I'll try to better. You can breathe as well. No, you don't. you You need to breathe. yeah but But don't worry. I'd love to do this more more with you. Meditate.
01:02:12
Speaker
Kind of talk about this. But please do not think of me as a god. Think of me as a friend, please. A friend who's putting me in pain. Okay.
01:02:23
Speaker
No, no way. You can stop any minute. You can stop right now. We're done. i just wanted to to check on something. Thank you for that. But we are friends.
01:02:34
Speaker
Back somewhere else on the ship over, you know, like with the pilots still. Yeah. I continue my conversation with um Crash. It's like, are you sure there's no like surveillance stuff? Because sometimes you just really feel like you're being watched.
01:02:51
Speaker
ah I only have surveillance of the yeah e like rec room, the med bay, and not in the private quarters. Okay.
01:03:02
Speaker
That's so weird. Ugh, makes your skin crawl.
01:03:08
Speaker
Well, I mean, I can turn them off if you want. Oh, no, no, you're good. I trust you. The others are a bit weird, but you're chill.
01:03:19
Speaker
Well. Breathe, dude! Breathe! Just because guys have to do this. Yeah, do you and do want to know what's happening between us, Bex? Your character?
01:03:30
Speaker
i I don't care that much. It's more so that there's nothing to really do here. Right. So you guys are the nearest source of entertainment. and You could hear you could hear g going, and me going,
01:03:50
Speaker
head towards the back which is where the like wreckroom or whatever it is is And if you walked past while they were saying that, you might overhear that if he's being loud.
01:04:03
Speaker
Sure. Yeah. I'll go to the rec room. Or the lounge, I guess, is what it is. Yeah. And you just hear, breathe, Luke, breathe. Or breathe, Luke, breathe.
01:04:17
Speaker
Or maybe there's like a training facility here. can practice my new weapons. There's no training facility on this ship. Is there a big open space in the rec room?
01:04:30
Speaker
Or lounge? The lounge, um it's sort of big. It's probably like, imagine like on the Full Millennium Falcon when Luke is training with his thing that hovers around.
01:04:43
Speaker
Training thingy. So yeah. Okay. So I'll go there and be like, eh, close enough. And actually, you know let's say that there is one of those little training bots. Yeah, you could see this little training bot you can practice with. Okay.
01:04:59
Speaker
Yeah, so I think that's it. that's yeah um You guys arrive at ah Felicia. And as you um come out of hyperspace, are you guys join her joining ah Sharona in the ah cockpit?
01:05:13
Speaker
i think I think I was already there after our meditation. I'm just yeah correcting him. But I always so often be like, why does my blood feel spiky? Yeah, yeah. This so weird.
01:05:25
Speaker
Okay, so you guys come out of hyperspace, and but as a blue as the blue tunnel of hyperspace fades away and pinpoints of stars fill the windows of the cockpit, and you get a brief glimpse of the planet Felucia hanging just below your ship.
01:05:40
Speaker
Almost instantly, your eyes are drawn toward... the dagger-shaped starship looming ahead of you, an Imperial Star Destroyer. You think they saw us?
01:05:53
Speaker
Bum, bum, bum, bum, ba-dum, bum, ba-dum. Hold on, Tucker the Keep says we're in for a bumpy ride. strap so'd strap in drag Drag race, drag race, drag race. I did not expect this at all. I thought it was going to be like, oh, he like that's... like Yes.
01:06:15
Speaker
G, obviously. Yep, straps in. Yeah. And then Ash says, of course there would be a Star Destroyer here. When do we ever have things easy? Tell me that.
01:06:30
Speaker
ah With that, the captain slams the control stick forward, sending the ship tumbling rapidly into the atmosphere of the planet. As the Banshee passes through the thin cloud layer, you get a good look at the fungal swamps and jungles of Felucia, where the towering mushrooms reach up into the air like skyscrapers.
01:06:51
Speaker
It would be beautiful if it weren't rushing up at you so quickly.
01:06:57
Speaker
Eventually, Captain O'Keefe pulled the ship out of a dive, a move accompanied by the sounds of metal shearing from somewhere in the rear of the ship. The transport lurches, nearly throwing each of you to the ground, but you strapped in, so you didn't.
01:07:16
Speaker
And dips sickeningly down... I can can't say I'm sick, so I can't say sickeningly down. sickeningly down toward the fungal canopy.
01:07:28
Speaker
Another massive bump jostles the ship before the captain brings the vessel to a screeching halt resting deep within the mushroom jungles. Guess that's why they call you Crash.
01:07:42
Speaker
So... it yes You try doing better. I do. yeah I haven't seen it. Neither have I, but I know. Uh-oh.
01:07:54
Speaker
I'll talk. So she says, oh, sorry about that. i I better take a look and see what's happened. We should be safe here in the jungle.
01:08:06
Speaker
Enough cover here. Hopefully the ship is hidden well enough in the jungle's canopy. And so she gets up and begins to check of the back of the ship and and comes back to you says that she's not sure if she can Get it fixed. She can fix it, but she's not sure how long it's going to take. Maybe a day or so.
01:08:27
Speaker
gives you ah Who has a data pad? Who's the one who's... I believe that's me. You stole one from somebody? Did I have like a wrist pad? Wrist pad? We don't have one. And I'm pretty sure Douglas has one.
01:08:39
Speaker
think he stole one from... He raided it off of somebody's body. Douglas decides to stay behind to help with repairs, but gives you the data pad so you guys can use it for navigational purposes.
01:08:51
Speaker
ah She provides you directions to the prison facility and uploaded... it onto the data pad. data to pad So if you want to upload it to your wrist data pad, new you can as well.
01:09:03
Speaker
And who would like to take Douglas' data pad for directions?
01:09:12
Speaker
Give it to Senreal. senator ah I do have proficiency with mechanics stuff, so if you need more help when we're done. Okay, so... i don't know ah You grow up on Corellia. You pick up a thing or two about spaceships.
01:09:29
Speaker
Or starships. I do have a technical aptitude, too. you want us to stay.
01:09:37
Speaker
No smarts. ah actually So she provides you guys with water and rations for a couple of days because she's not sure how long the trek will be. She wasn't able to land super close to the prison's facility, but within walking distance.
01:09:53
Speaker
She thinks it'll take a day or so to walk through the jungle. And I have the data pad now. Yeah, the data pad now with the direction or just like a general like direction to the prison facility.
01:10:07
Speaker
And you guys step off the ship and your first steps onto the soil of Felucia. Make it clear that this planet is truly alive. And the force sensitives, both Senrael and G the sense the the the bugs, the plants, like it it you feel it in the force. And even though Senrael doesn't understand it, she feels like it's alive. She feels like there's lots of, movement and and creatures yeah just alive with creatures and things.
01:10:39
Speaker
The massive mushrooms tower overhead. They're overhanging edges, creating a canopy that blocks out much of the planet's sunlight. For every step on pollution, soil turns up Insects and other fungi just beneath the surface. The noise of the jungle is loud and alien, full of sounds of a hundred insects and animals moving through the mushroom swamps, all part of the living and vibrant ecosystem.
01:11:03
Speaker
Okay, so as you travel through the jungle, I need you guys to do survival checks to stay on course. The journey journey requires at least 12 hours worth of successful progress ah from the Banshee to the facility.
01:11:16
Speaker
So why don't you guys go ahead and make a survival check for your first hour of travel? By the way, does my... Natural 20. Nice.
01:11:29
Speaker
I have the ideal of the agile. Does that help me, Al? Or, like, I'm not... So I was wondering if that would help my survival. I think that this is only ah specific when you encounter things. Like if you had to swim, climb, or jump, it sounds like it. Okay.
01:11:48
Speaker
Yeah, it sounds like it. It's just for those those specific things. So my survival check is 13. And Luke?
01:12:00
Speaker
ah twenty one take that jesse
01:12:06
Speaker
Is survival survival?
01:12:10
Speaker
Didn't even check because I got a natural 20. oh I also got a 21 with my natural 20. Wow. Okay, but Senrael and didn't roll high enough.
01:12:28
Speaker
Just like overwhelmed with everything going on. like yeah This is nothing like Corellia. So many colors. Yeah, there's lots of like interesting looking plants and things. And as you're walking, Sandram bumps into a fungus bloom that is highly explosive.
01:12:49
Speaker
ah no.
01:12:52
Speaker
What? is when she bumps into it, the chemicals are combined with the... eight with the And they explode.
01:13:06
Speaker
No wonder it's survival. Yeah, this is going to be a ranged attack on you. oh
01:13:15
Speaker
can i Can I give her the help action? if it If it's about rolling a dex save or something? I don't think she has dex save. It just says that it's like an attack. It's just an attack. okay And it's be...
01:13:33
Speaker
going to be A six to hit. Oh yeah, that's not even close. Yeah. Okay, you bump into it, but immediately sense that that was probably a bad thing, and so you are able to dive out of the way and avoid its blast range.
01:13:52
Speaker
Dang, I see what you meant about this place.
01:13:58
Speaker
but Everything's trying to kill you. yeah Yeah. I think it's best for us to... Not touching. Even Serona sees that happen and Douglas peeks around and like, what's happening? Are you?
01:14:13
Speaker
Watch out. Like, be careful of the surroundings. I didn't expect it to explode. expects explosions. there's going to be worse out there probably. So you better be careful.
01:14:31
Speaker
Okay. and So you guys will travel together now. We'll just say you guys were kind of split up or whatever. And I'll let you guys roll together for the, um, first hour. So that was an unsuccessful thing you didn didn't get anywhere in that first hour or whatever. so It's not like a full hour was wasted. It's just you didn't get it successful. Are you sure you don't want me to stay and work on the ship?
01:14:58
Speaker
Didn't get any successful progress there. So go ahead and roll again for survival. only got an 11 that time. 16! Are all rolling? i'm sixteen are we are we all rolling Yes.
01:15:10
Speaker
Yeah, if we roll all together and add it up. to two you know perhaps to Luke, you don't have to roll because Bex and Jesse rolled high enough to and succeed. How'd he roll high enough?
01:15:25
Speaker
He didn't, but you guys combined with high enough to complete the, or successfully travel the first hour. Transparency, I got a 10. Okay, so that's your first hour. ah go ahead and make a roll for the second hour. 16.
01:15:39
Speaker
sixteen 10. Only a 10. Yep, you guys made it. and
01:15:50
Speaker
all right, roll again for your third hour of travel. 19.
01:16:02
Speaker
Yeah, you guys got it. All right. Fourth hour of travel. That one. 18. ah line One. got 18. And that helps. 17.
01:16:15
Speaker
that all yeah seventeen Yeah, you guys are okay. well like We're picking up loot. Yeah, he almost like goes into a whole batch of explosive fungi, which is like each one hand one arm under his arms.
01:16:32
Speaker
I'm pushing them away. I'm just pushing them. I'm the non-Force user, so I have no clue about this. Yeah. I'm just pushing all the mushrooms I remember the feeling of that one that exploded. Those feel similar. Like like he almost stepped into a pool of acid, but you guys caught him before.
01:16:51
Speaker
Yeah.
01:16:54
Speaker
All right. And then our five. Five. Only a 13. All right. all right You guys are good.
01:17:05
Speaker
Come on, guys. Yeah. Sixth hour. ahead and roll again. 15. Five.
01:17:18
Speaker
Also five. yeahs true Oh, no. Oh, really? Yeah, you're fine. got 15. She got a 15. That's fine. Okay. Well, there you go. All right. So you guys are kind of at the halfway point.
01:17:32
Speaker
And as you come into a you you're walk into a clearing that is like a swampy area with small,
01:17:48
Speaker
at the yeah, little small islands. the The cacophony of noise created by the insects and other animals makes it nearly impossible to hear the splash of your footsteps through this pollution swamp.
01:18:01
Speaker
The open area you walk into resembles a large shallow pool of water with narrow islands rising out of the water, looking like stepping stones that are all that are slightly too far apart to jump across.
01:18:14
Speaker
A faint mist hangs over the swampy ground, drifting over the still pool of water. Now that looks suspicious. I've learned from the mushroom.
01:18:28
Speaker
it very and So do you guys proceed or do you want to do perception? Yeah. yeah Can I do perception? Yes, you can.
01:18:39
Speaker
Go ahead. and Not natural 20. Okay. I think that's pretty good. So you sense some creatures in this clearing.
01:18:53
Speaker
Sentient creatures in this clearing. You cannot see them. How far away is like, how far apart is the thing? How big is this?
01:19:07
Speaker
Probably like 50 feet in circle form. ah fifty but or far How far away do I sense them?
01:19:18
Speaker
They're in different spots. Like one's 10 feet away, one's 20, one's 30, one's around that as well, another 30 feet. With the 10 foot, do I know like the general area? It's coming from one of the little islands that are popping up out of the water. Actually, I should probably a roll perception too, right?
01:19:42
Speaker
I'm going to use my telepathy. If they speak Comet or like the galactic language or Keldorian or Shiree Shirely Wook.
01:20:01
Speaker
If they speak any of those. and That doesn't have an L in it. It's Shrewook. It's okay. Oh, I thought that there's two I's. There's two I's. That's an L in there. Yeah, Shrewook.
01:20:15
Speaker
That's the language of the Wookies, yes. Oh, okay. like yeah If they speak any of those, I say, ah if you are friend or foe, speak.
01:20:28
Speaker
and um you don't heat they don't they't respond. Okay. Because even that would freak them out, probably, and I would have heard something if they spoke my language.
01:20:40
Speaker
I hope. i don't know. I'm assuming things now. i I just relay to the group there are sentient beings nearby on these islands.
01:20:54
Speaker
Are they friend or foe? or They did not
01:20:59
Speaker
Probably foe, yes. What is the plan of action? Are you guys still standing there or walking forward? Oh, no. I have not moved.
01:21:11
Speaker
Yeah, I'm probably witchy. Okay, you're fine. Yeah, I'm standing. Is this a case where I could use my ideal of the agile to basically...
01:21:23
Speaker
lawn jump it as far as I can go and then swim like crazy to make it. Well, it's shallow. You can walk through this is swampy, swampy thing. You wouldn't swim this swamp.
01:21:35
Speaker
It's, it's just kind of marshy. If you wanted to try and jump, you could. It's, yeah it's probably too far to jump for a regular person, but with your ideal of the agile,
01:21:48
Speaker
you can make a long jump and cover the number of feet up to twice your um wisdom or charisma score. Yeah. So... and that's Can I assist you?
01:22:04
Speaker
If you are explaining this, can I assist you with giving you an extra push? Ooh. Into the wall. Yeah.
01:22:16
Speaker
I don't know where you want to go. where are Are you jumping to the island, so first the closest island, like the one that Jesse was pointing to? ah just... ah So with my wisdom score doubling it, I think that means I could go 30 feet.
01:22:35
Speaker
So I could go like halfway across a bit over that. I can push you an extra five feet if you allow me. If you're a medium care creature, are you?
01:22:47
Speaker
Uh, yeah. Yeah. So is there an island near that location that's not suspicious? Uh, the one that Jesse was pointing to? or There's like one that's 10 feet in front, and then there's 30 and 30.
01:23:04
Speaker
Yeah. 10 feet in front and 30, okay. And further. Yeah. And there's probably another one at 40 feet. and there's the so the one one at 30 feet, I guess.
01:23:18
Speaker
ah huh Is that suspicious? you I can ask Jesse's character. Yeah, you can ask Jesse or you can do a perception. You're like, I think I can reach that one pointing the one that's 30 feet. What do you think?
01:23:33
Speaker
I know there a sentient being in the 10 foot and there's one in the 30.
01:23:42
Speaker
Just leap into something's mouth? thats an album one from that he senses someone in that section that you're pointing to. Do you have another idea? so they're foes? We sneak?
01:23:55
Speaker
Oh, what? What, Newt? and mind Am I? No, no, please. Please expand. They are foes?
01:24:06
Speaker
I don't know for sure, but if they shoot at us, then they might be. I think we need to carry on because we don't know how the prisoner is doing that we are trying to rescue. So I think the best course of action is to probably stealth this, but... Yeah, I'm good with stealth.
01:24:29
Speaker
Okay. Okay, roll for stealth. And the competition of that is... I rolled a natural 20, and then I have plus 5 for stealth.
01:24:42
Speaker
Yeah, you're headed. i how Somehow figure out how to blend into the surroundings.
01:24:48
Speaker
Is there... um Jesse, what's the competition for stealth? I think it's perception. Perception, which is intelligence or wisdom.
01:25:01
Speaker
Are they specifically looking for people? Like their guardian?
01:25:07
Speaker
Or they're looking for food. ah You'd have to roll to figure that out. Insight? Sorry, that was was mostly just to say if that was passive perception or if it's... You roll for us Oh, sure.
01:25:20
Speaker
But... Okay, fine. You knew Okay. Okay.
01:25:30
Speaker
What did you roll, Jesse? Stealth? I rolled. On stealth, I rolled very badly. rolled a six. Okay, Luke.
01:25:42
Speaker
A 15. Okay. All right, you guys proceed?
Encounter with Jungle Felutions
01:25:48
Speaker
I'm proceeding. Yeah, yeah. I'm a ninja. think I'm doing a great job. Yeah, if G is still with us, then yes, Okay, you guys get to about the halfway point, and then the um ah hidden, camouflaged sentients come out of hiding and point their... Well, come kind of surround you, actually.
01:26:08
Speaker
And they are jungle solutions. If you have... If you're familiar with or played the game, Force Unleashed, Force Unleashed, It's fungus-like creatures that kind of look like something that might be on Davy Jones' locker, you know, tentacle face, but like fungus-y, I don't know, something from the Last of Us.
01:26:31
Speaker
No, not that weird, creepy, but kind like that. They're like really fungus-y looking creatures, humanoids, webbed to hands and feet, wearing loincloths and very colorfully, well, they're blended in with the mud that they were kind of in because they were blending into the thing. Actually, I'm going to read the description they gave me here.
01:26:56
Speaker
ah Tall and muscular, this bipedal being. ah seems to be a member of the native jungle pollution species, the long, slender form of a rancored jawbone juts down from the pollution's hand and the scout's body is barely covered with a leafy loincloth.
01:27:14
Speaker
A tangle of tendrils around his face makes it impossible to see his eyes, and the mud and other foliage plastered to his body camouflages him against the backdrop of the swamp.
01:27:29
Speaker
Just as a disclaimer for anyone who is thinking of the Clone Wars TV show series, where Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Anakin meet solutions. They look like small tortoise-like creatures. They don't have a shell, but they're farmers, peaceful folk.
01:27:50
Speaker
That's what Kanan has made of it, but these ones are going to be so more similar to the ones in the Force and Leash. The explanation is behind it is that those are solutions, and these are jungle solutions.
01:28:05
Speaker
So that they're both native to the planet, but these ones are called jungle solutions. um Just as a disclaimer for anyone who's like, no, but the solutions look like turtles, not like fungus-y whatever.
01:28:19
Speaker
Fungus faces. Anyway, just figured I'd clarify that for uber Star Wars nerds. There we go. All right. They surround you and start going,
01:28:35
Speaker
Do they surround all of us? It sounds like a guttural voice and they do not speak common. they surround all of us or just the ones who got caught? They don't speak common. They are speaking to you in guttural sounds. like er I mean, yeah.
01:28:51
Speaker
And i like kind of waving at you like in a certain direction like kind of like trying trying to like make sure you guys are peaceful.
01:29:02
Speaker
And I hold my hands up And I... We mean no harm. We... Our ship has crashed...
01:29:18
Speaker
About five hours that... Six hours that way. No harm. They look at each other and talk to each other and and then they look back at you guys and... And and they like...
01:29:32
Speaker
kind of wave you over gesturing for you to follow them or like some of them are staying behind you like they kind of keep you surrounded but they don't know what you're saying they kind of look I follow yeah I follow them I don't know I I keep the peace so they do see all three of us yes oh actually not like one of them sees you technically Yeah, rolled.
01:30:03
Speaker
but You said you had a 21, natural 20 plus 1? ah Plus a 5. Plus a 5. Actually, you are still hidden. Yeah, that's still higher than I roll.
01:30:14
Speaker
They did roll a natural 20, one of them. But it was ah with their with their bonus, it was still less than yours.
01:30:27
Speaker
Okay, so yeah. yeah i just You are hidden still. So if you want to follow stealthily behind, you can. Or come out into the open, you can.
01:30:37
Speaker
to you I'll follow stealthily behind. Gives me more of an advantage. Okay. and Just in case, you know. 15 wasn't enough.
01:30:49
Speaker
No. Okay. Well, someone rolled a natural 20. One of them didn't see you the others The other three did. So there's four of them. And three of them rolled fairly high.
01:30:59
Speaker
And there's four in total? And there were four of them, yes. So I'll be following behind and they They lead you into a hidden village in the Folution jungle. The village appears to have been carved almost completely out of the massive mushrooms that dominate the Folution landscape. Each one looks old and petrified, making the mushroom huts appear far more solid than their still living counterparts elsewhere in the jungle. In the center of the village, a number of native jungle Folution's gather in a half circle, squatting by a cooking fire.
01:31:38
Speaker
and turning to look at you as you enter. Though the village has a village area has been cleared, small mushrooms and other plants still rise up from the ground, as though the jungle itself resisted any attempts at civilization.
01:31:54
Speaker
Alright, do you guys want to do um any checks as you enter the village? Are you just following them? Just following, just following, waiting for another direction to be told what to do. i want to check if they're like, oh, what is it?
01:32:15
Speaker
Like, if they seem aggressive or wary of my companions, don't know exactly how that would be rolled.
01:32:25
Speaker
Like, do they seem friendly or do they seem like they may try to eat them or fight them? or I feel like that's an insight, right? An insight roll? I got four.
01:32:37
Speaker
you yeah you You wouldn't know whether or not they're... What the heck is going on? Okay, so as you guys are led in, they lead you to a up to a human man who is living amongst the native Felutions because...
01:32:57
Speaker
They don't understand you and need a translator. He comes up to you and says,
01:33:06
Speaker
Hello? who Who are you? Why have you come? are are you what are What are your motives in coming here? Hi, yes. ah My name is Jinu.
01:33:19
Speaker
i am Keldorian ambassador. And I have, uh, our ship has crashed. I want to say about six and a half hours out that way.
01:33:34
Speaker
And we're looking two
01:33:40
Speaker
well, our, our pilot is fixing that. And,
Alliance with Vasus Mandrake
01:33:43
Speaker
and we were, we're looking around for survival stuff and to see if there's civilization.
01:33:52
Speaker
What is your intent in coming to this planet? Well... That's a hard question to answer. We are ah group... I mean...
01:34:05
Speaker
do I look, ah do we look like a pair that would walk around together all the time. And so it depends on how you're asking this. Are you asking this with, are you trying to gain information from us about something?
01:34:22
Speaker
Or are you asking this because you genuinely are curious about our intentions? I'm just, we're I'm trying to figure out what your intentions are. We do not want a any spies or any we We do not, you know, any imperial Imperial spies or... Oh, we are not Imperial at all.
01:34:46
Speaker
No, no, no. We're... we yeah In a way, we are the opposite. And we have to... We're having to make this decision now, but I just didn't want you to jump to conclusions before we could explain, that makes sense.
01:35:08
Speaker
Okay, yes, that that makes sense. My name is Vasus Mandrake. ah i i um crash ah I was um part of the Separatist Alliance during the Clone Wars, and my squad all got wiped out, and I decided to stay behind on the planet and live amongst the Felutions.
01:35:28
Speaker
Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your crew there. we we don't have any we don't have any love for the Empire who... guess it was the Republic, now they're the Empire. and Yes, yeah. Yes, i I have no love for the Empire. I cannot speak for my ah fellow crewmate, but I believe that we are on the same page, yes.
01:35:58
Speaker
We are actually here to... Oh, i don't i I don't know how freely I can speak, I'm sorry. Would you like to speak to the chief?
01:36:09
Speaker
He can give you some more information and might be able to help or assist you. Does he speak our language? No, I would have to be a translator for you. Unless one of you speaks Felushanese.
01:36:24
Speaker
a No, that's fair. Okay, well, I mean, we Is this... Are you sure this is a safe camp?
01:36:35
Speaker
Are you the only... I'm the only human here. Non-polution? Yes. Yes.
01:36:43
Speaker
Yes, am. And... Can I... So, this is out of character. I have a trait called Charmer. Okay. And it increases my charisma, whatever... ah If I spend one minute talking to someone who can understand what I'm saying, I can make a charisma persuasion check kind contested by...
01:37:08
Speaker
Creature's wisdom. Insight. Natural 20. He is charmed. um Whatever I can do to help, I really i want to assist you. If if you're trying to foil any of the Empire's schemes or whatever, or to um take them out.
01:37:27
Speaker
I want to help and assist you as much as possible. All the Flutions here are are avidly opposed to the Empire and the all their ways. where We're staying in this hidden camp. How can I help you?
01:37:41
Speaker
Well, firstly, we're missing one ah one of our crewmates, and we were stealthing because we were afraid of you guys, and we didn't want to create more problems in general.
01:37:57
Speaker
So I believe she's still stealthing, I don't know where she is, so please do not have your people shoot her.
01:38:08
Speaker
That's the first thing we can do. if you can get talking to the guards and he He talks to the guards in Felicinae's and tells them that ah not to attack um a hidden... um ah when she's ah She's a Mandalorian chain.
01:38:25
Speaker
Oh, okay. He tells them that. Don't don't shoot at a Mandalorian... They have armor, right? Is that correct? Yes, yes. She does have her yes your helmet.
01:38:38
Speaker
He tells them And ah second thing, yeah, if we could speak to your chief, we are trying to rescue ah a ah rebel commander?
01:38:52
Speaker
Is that right? Oh, no. It's an imperial. he yeah He was ah defect is a imperial admiral. We are trying to rescue an informant.
01:39:07
Speaker
We are trying to rescue an informant. that is imprisoned in the Imperial camp. And in reality, if we could just have transport that would make this quicker, that would be amazing.
01:39:22
Speaker
Otherwise, if we could figure out a safe passage where we don't have to risk our necks, if at least to the minimum, to get to there.
01:39:37
Speaker
Okay, yeah. About... Another five, six hours out, I believe. I'm familiar with the the the camp that you're referring to.
01:39:47
Speaker
If I could have you talk to this the chief, that I'm sure he is able to give you some more information as well as assist you in any way that you may need.
01:40:00
Speaker
It sounds wonderful. Do we have to where cheov do we Are we prisoners as of now? No, you're you are guests of this village.
01:40:13
Speaker
And then he tells the others that too. In pollution. Knees. I do like ah like a little like head nod. like A little bow like to them. Yeah. they They understand and they realize that you guys are not a threat, basically.
01:40:31
Speaker
Should reveal myself or just like stay here? Yeah, it's up to you. Are you going to stay here? They they know that you're there. like, what's up guys? you Walking out the bushes. Oh, this must be the Mandalorian you spoke of.
01:40:45
Speaker
Yes, that is that is her. Yes, thank you. Yes, let me escort you to the chief. And so he takes you. to a hut as you're walking there he says that he does have some imp is some knowledge of the imperial prison facility and he wants to destroy it he tells you I've been wanting to destroy the prison for some time now.
01:41:10
Speaker
Living amongst the Folutions, they have a more peaceful life, and i had the the aspiration to do it by myself. and ah the the scouts have been just There have been scouts that have been disappearing on as they've been inspecting the area surrounding the prison.
01:41:30
Speaker
and I believe that they are taking some of them into captivity there. if If you are going to the facility, if you wouldn't mind ah while you're there, just um maybe setting some explosives there, and he hands you some explosive charges and shows you how to set the timer.
01:41:55
Speaker
If you don't mind blowing up the whole facility, that would do us all a lot of good. And it also overloads the Imperial communications while you are if you do that as well.
01:42:07
Speaker
i I look at ah so at the explosives and I'm like, um I reach my arms over to Newt or Sanriel and I'm like, ah yes, I like drop it.
01:42:24
Speaker
and Well, we are happy to do this if it is... Clear. i do not wish to harm anyone because we don't know if they must be with the Empire or if if they are doing this with ill intent. I don't know and I do not want to risk that and every life is valuable.
01:42:54
Speaker
So if we can clear the building...
01:43:00
Speaker
I am willing to do that. Otherwise, i leave these explosives here for people to pick up. I'll pick them up. Like, I'll blow it up.
01:43:11
Speaker
Don't you worry. ah just don't even address what you just said. Like, I'll blow it up. I will have as many people leave the building as possible.
01:43:26
Speaker
Thank you. Do I need to add the charges to my equipment? Yes. um they're Sorry, it's one, technically. It's kind of a large explosive charge. And I don't know what' what type it is because I don't have that in here. But just add explosive charge to your thing.
01:43:43
Speaker
And he as he's walking, he's he's telling you about his kaibux that he has. yeah He points them out as you're walking past his herd of kaibux. They look like, I think they look like kangaroos with antlers. Like a...
01:43:55
Speaker
like an antelope. Oh, cool. They were in that one episode of ah Tales of the Jedi where Ahsoka was a little baby. um I think she, like, ah you know... If you saw it, then you'll know what a Kai book looks like, but...
01:44:08
Speaker
Anyway, he he says that he got them imported and and he's very proud of his herd. you have communication with the outside. ah Well, this was a long time ago. course.
01:44:20
Speaker
ah And so he he tells them all there he tells you all their names. And he's like, these were the names of my comrades who who died beside me.
01:44:33
Speaker
He's just like being super open and just telling you everything, basically just being like. Whoa. Don't worry. this is This is beautiful.
01:44:45
Speaker
Thank you for sharing that with us. Yeah.
01:44:50
Speaker
Do you have to do animal handling with the Kaibux?
01:44:55
Speaker
I'm not sure. But you don't have time to see them right now because you're going to see this the chief. So...
01:45:03
Speaker
He brings you into the hut and the and explains to the chief in Plushanese who you are, what your intentions are, and then he begins to translate for you. ah He says that the the chief says that ah you are welcome if you are fighting against the um empire and asks what your plan is.
01:45:30
Speaker
what What is your plan? ah Our one and only plan is to release our informant and take him home, but we are happy to rescue your people if we see them.
01:45:52
Speaker
Hopefully do this with the least amount of harm, and yeah, get in and get out. and low yeah That is my cause. If we can get this situation where the building is clear, I'm more than happy for that happen.
01:46:14
Speaker
Otherwise, i will stick to the original plan and keep it as safe as possible. My comrades, my companions may do whatever they want.
01:46:26
Speaker
But that is our our goal and we are we're we're going with it. um I as you I forgot to say this, but as you when you am when you guys entered the hut, the hut, sorry, Senreal and G did hear.
01:46:43
Speaker
Very faint, guttural whispers. Oh, no. When you were close to the chief, basically. And he seems to be paying more attention to you guys than to Newt.
01:46:55
Speaker
a more tent that He's just giving you a little bit more attention. By the way, Jesse, does your is your lightsaber hidden currently? It is under my cloak.
01:47:07
Speaker
It is not fully hidden, but it is under my cloak. Okay, I'm going actually roll perception for him. Because he does seem to sense something from you.
01:47:18
Speaker
Perception is wisdom? Yes, can I roll insight to see if he... And what he's doing, what what those whispers were about? If you... Yeah, you can roll insight.
01:47:33
Speaker
Do you have to roll... If he's doing perception, do you have to roll something as well, Jesse? ah No, it's, I mean, yes and no, like, it depends.
01:47:46
Speaker
If I know what he's doing, then i can hide it. just looking, he's just kind of looking over you, like, up and down, like, interested. If it is something to be hidden, it could be a deception.
01:47:59
Speaker
Right. Well, I only rolled a 11. eleven Yeah, so you you you think that he is has good intentions, but you're not sure.
01:48:13
Speaker
And i I think he does notice. He rolled a 16 for a perception. yeah yeah. Which is more than a 15, which I think is like the threshold of kind of pretty much succeeding. So I think he
Learning and Preparing for the Imperial Prison Mission
01:48:25
Speaker
is going to be like, what is is that weapon? And translated by. Oh, this.
01:48:33
Speaker
ah i i I don't turn it on. ah have it out. Okay. And I say, this is this is a a weapon true to my heart.
01:48:48
Speaker
but That's a Jedi weapon, isn't Yes, it is a Jedi weapon. Yes, you are correct. are Are you a Jedi? Did you take it off of one?
01:48:59
Speaker
Yes, I am a Jedi knight. He says that, so he says to you, you have Jedi powers, then you must, you must ah know how to to use the force.
01:49:15
Speaker
I have been trained in utilizing the force, yes. And he says that that he has... they The Volutions have a bit of force sensitivity and are able to do a couple of... like or They know how to use the force a little bit and is very interested if you have more knowledge about that, basically. I am more than happy to trade techniques.
01:49:44
Speaker
At some point. But. I believe we have a mission. That we need to accomplish. With the utmost haste. Yes of course of course. Would like some assistance. I have a Felucian scout. Who understands basic. But cannot speak.
01:50:04
Speaker
it And he would be willing to. Assist you and go with you on. This mission. Personally. i would find that more of a risk because I do not wish to harm your people unless it is a great disrespect for me not to accept this.
01:50:24
Speaker
I'm talking to the guy. Yeah. And he says like, you probably should accept it. Um, this is ah That is okay. I just did do not want to harm more people if they have to come. and he he says you The chief says he's also willing to train teach you one of his force abilities. he He's willing to share with force power.
01:50:50
Speaker
I would happily trade force power techniques, yes. if you If you'd like to learn something new. Yes, I'd love to learn it. Okay, great. And then, um so you have, ah he has appointed a scout for you guys. He's got a train in a new force power, so you can add that to your thing. It's called Burst, and I will send you the thing. I'll send you the action.
01:51:18
Speaker
Sad life of not knowing that you have the force.
01:51:23
Speaker
Yeah. no Yeah, I got it right here. I can just add it. you Oh, you see it? Burst? Okay. Yeah. So there you go. Amazing. That's what you get for being genial and... Yeah. i i I teach him how to do my sound trick.
01:51:45
Speaker
Okay, cool.
01:51:48
Speaker
I forgot. Yeah. Okay. So, and then I did forget to mention that he is obviously very old. Just, just if you wanted to see what he looks like, ah tendrils appear to be shrunken and damaged. His arm is covered in scars and one of his, his body is covered in scars and one arm looks blackened as though infected with some kind of shriveling disease.
01:52:09
Speaker
But yeah, so he is helpful and what was else? What else was I going to do? is You now have the explosive charge. Yeah. and And then he'll share more about the Imperial prison facility.
01:52:22
Speaker
not using he says it's called the Vanishing Place. They call it the Vanishing Place. And he explains the Flutions have disappeared in the area.
01:52:35
Speaker
and that's why they call it the Vanishing Place. they They ah sent a couple of shamans over there to investigate. And they had to leave quickly before they were overwhelmed with pain.
01:52:48
Speaker
The chief believes that many of the missing solutions are being held in the prison facility and that the empire is causing them great pain. So he tells you that the that the source of the pain seems most to be concentrated on the west side of the facility.
01:53:07
Speaker
Yes, so you guys know that it's on the... oh Also, let's see. He shares that there is going to be many more
01:53:20
Speaker
hazards on your... voyage there and tells you about the exploding fungus bloom, which you did encounter. tells you about a razor mushroom, which is got very spark.
01:53:36
Speaker
If you get too close to it, has it bursts outward with spines and razor sharp tendrils. He tells you about the acid pools and to avoid those, they resemble pools of standing water, but are pools of acid.
01:53:51
Speaker
And sinkholes pulls that when some of the fungus under the surface rots away, it can leave a ah sinkhole in the ground.
01:54:02
Speaker
So he tells you about those as well as trying to avoid massive predators such as the Folution Rancor. Hmm.
01:54:15
Speaker
Okay. Yes. Thank you very much. Yes, thank for may you. And he asks you before you guys leave if there's any other things he can help you with. Any food, rush like rations, lodging, you guys need anything before you continue?
01:54:34
Speaker
is i don't have any exhaustion or anything, so I don't need to rest. right I don't know about the rest of you. Maybe I can send a message back to the ship. And it might also be an opportunity to bring um Isaac back if right So Mandrake actually says that because of the large mushrooms that long-range communications are blocked and have difficulty getting through.
01:55:03
Speaker
So that that might not be an option. Well, then I think with your protege, your the scout that is coming with us, just an introduction would be nice, and then we can head out.
