Mos Espa, Tatooine. Torm and Terri walk down the narrow steps into the dimly lit cantina. A few locals sit on scattered tables, a dug sits on a stool at the bar, the barkeep is human. But Torm can smell the familiar smoke of Callahan's cigars. The Dressellian smuggler is sat on his own at the back.

Torm "This had better be good, and not a setup, like last time."
Terri "Now, now, let him set us up again. I'm already holding myself back from battering this worm."
Callahan "Beauty, charming as always. But this one is someone I owe a favour to, and you were asked for by name."

Callahan leads Torm and Terri though a back door into a dark chamber. Callahan does not enter. Terri readies her blaster. Inside is the scent of spices, and a not so large as normal, Hutt sits smoking a pipe attended by a couple of non-human girls. Torm recognises the Hutt as Xxandoola the Hutt, a merchant in rare antiquities.

Torm "I don't believe we've had the pleasure."
Xxandoola "Jan Vincent Torm and Terri Lexgar, of the Warriors of Gar. I am Xxandoola the Hutt. And I need your help."

Torm "We're not in the business of running errands."
Xxandoola "I know you are members of the Rebel Alliance, and that you travel with the NorthStar."
Torm "No idea what you mean."
Xxandoola "Yes you do, for I am a Guardian of the Whills. Which is why I need help. A girl who worked for me has stolen something."
Torm "Why is this our business?"
Xxandoola "She was young and naïve. I have no ill will to her, but I need back what she stole. It was a Sith Holocron. We could not destroy it, so I was hiding it, for fear some greater evil would use it. We know she has travelled to Ord Mantell and has been apprehended by local Imperial. They do not know yet what they have. I contacted you as only one pure of heart has the strength to resist the lure of the Holocron. It led Delaana theft."
Terri "Are we really doing this?"
Torm "I don't think we have a choice. Pure of heart."
Terri "Blue tits."

Torm and Terri head back into the cantina where Callahan is waiting.

Callahan "Okay, I've seen the wanted notices for you two, for Ugavine's kid and your Wookiee pal, but nothing on that twi'lek girl you always travel with. Information is my game. Who is she?"
Torm "Just a kid. Leave her alone."
Callahan "Are you trying to say she's not important?"
Torm "You've convinced the Empire you're just a petty smuggler, if you want to keep it that way, please, forget her."

Out on the streets of Mso Espa Torm and Terri head back to their ship stopping to grab a snack from a street vendor, when they are confronted by a Bounty hunter, a human cyborg.

Bounty Hunter "Drop your weapons! I am quicker than you both, so don't try anything."
Torm "Friend of yours?"
Terri "Acts like he knows who we are. But if he did he'd know not to pull a blaster on us. Unless he's got the brains of a dewback."
Bounty Hunter "Drop your weapons!!"
Torm "Wait a minute, we're discussing it."

Junior approaches, glancing at then ignoring the Bounty Hunter.

Junior "You've been gone a while so came to see what was happening."
Terri "Bounty Hunter."
Bounty Hunter "Yes, I have the bounty for you too..."
Junior "If you mistake me for my father I will really lose it. And are thick or something? That's Terri Lexgar, I've seen her wrestle a Targ naked. And you're going to risk the wrath of her husband, Lexon Lexgar? He'll come down on you like a supa nova!"
Bounty Hunter "I..."
Junior "Oh I'm bored of this.." and Junior shoots the hunter with a Charon Web spinner, entangling him.

Torm and Terri walk past.

Torm "You couldn't even take the Ugnaught."

Terri just kicks sand in his face as she walks off.

Episode Two - Encounter at Ord Mantell

The Warriors of Gar arrive at Ord Mantell. This old colony is as mush a cesspit of scum and villainy as Tatooine.

Torm, Terri and junior done breathe masks and enter the Imperial Security office. Four Stormtroopers are on guard and a single officer.

Torm [putting on an exaggerated whiney voice] "Okay guys this looks like the place, gonna have to do a full sweep of the building."
Imperial Officer "Who are you?"
Torm "Spaceport viral control. A Genosian freighter brought an infection Xenti microbes, we're tracking their path and disinfecting all linked buildings. [Junior waves a computer at the air conditioning units] Yes you are definitely infected."
Imperial Officer "I will need it clear it with your supervisor."
Torm "Sure, sure. But he's in Med bay, he did the initial sweep, got infected, eyes bulging, skin peeling, not nice. That Stormtrooper armour won't help you either. Now you can let me though to disinfect the building or I can move on and you can all the medic."

[Torm rolls 26 for Con.]

Imperial Officer "Okay, but make it quick." Two of the Stormtroopers escort Torm and Junior, Terri remains in reception sitting on the desk counter smiling at the officer.

Inside Torm convinces the Stormtroopers he needs to seep the cell block. Reluctantly the Stormtroopers open the door.

Torm "Thanks." Torm draws and blasts both Stormtroopers on Stun, but one is unaffected and shoots back, Wounding Torm. The two return fire, Torm managing to outshoot an Stun the remaining Stormtrooper.
Junior "They'll have heard that blaster fire."
Torm "Then hurry, I'll get the girl, you check inventory for that Holocron."

In reception the Officer does hear the blaster fire!
The two Stormtrooeprs raise their blasters are Terri as she hops of the counter...

- The Stormtroopers shoot... rolls of 14 & 24
- Terri tries to roundhouse kick both Stormtroopers... Rolls 20 & 20!
- The first Stormtrooper hits, damage 13! Terri rolls 20 to resist! Stunned but okay.
- Terri just tries punching the Stormtroopers.
- Stormtrooper Blaster rolls 15 & 14
- Terri Brawling, -1D for Stun, 21 & 13!

- The combat continues... Terri rolls 19, the Stormtrooper 19! PC wins.

 -Amazingly the wounded Stormtrooper manages to blast an Incapacitate Terri!

In the cell bay Torm finds the girl, Delaana .

Torm "Hi, my name is Torm, I will be your rescuer today."
Delaana "What?"
Torm "Trust me, Xxandoola the Hutt sent me." Delaana looks scared.
Torm "He's not mad, actually he's concerned, that thing you stole is dangerous, and the Empire will kill you to keep it a secret. Come on!"

Reluctantly she goes with Torm who is joined by Junior who has the Sith Holocron.

Torm exits back into the reception and sees Terri unconscious and encages fire with the Stormtrooper.

- Torm rolls 16 verse the Stormtroopers 10, with Torms blaster still set to Stun the Stormtrooper in rendered unconscious. Junior revives Terri with a Medpac.

Terri "Don't say a damn thing!"
Torm "Stormtroopers???"
Terri "Just shut up and get us out of here."

Into the street an Imperial Troop Transporter is approaching!

Torm sees an open topped speeder. Torm pretends to flash a ID "Imperial business, we are requisitioning this vehicle."

Before to owner realises he has been conned The Warriors along with the girl are speeding away. In the distance above Ord Mantells skyline a blank Imperial Shuttle can be seen coming in to land.

Junior "That can not be good."
Torm [comms the ship] "Wookoid, get out of here, we're taking the East Road out the city, y'know." With that Torm heads down the West highway out of the city.
Delaana "You said East..."
Torm "Yeah. And the Imps were no doubt listening."
 

Episode Three - Web of the Sith

The Warriors of Gar drive west into the wilderness of Ord Mantell for over an hour.  Eventually they encounter a small rest stop cantina so pull in.  Getting out of the speeder Delaana looks about cautiously.

Torm  "Listen, if you want to run off, we won't stop you."
Terri  "But you'll be a lot safer with us."
Junior  "Safer with us?  Do you even know us?  Since when have we ever been safe?!"

Inside the cantina is a gruff looking Skrilling barkeep who introduced himself as Pot Skrix

Pot Skrix "What will it be?"
Torm  "Whatever's hot and ready."
Terri  "Right here."
Torm  "Cute.  I guess we just wait up here.  This coffee is really good."
Pot Skrix  "Many thanks.  But I could not possibly let you leave."
Torm  "Really, and why is that?"
Pot Skrix  "You have something I need.  The Holocron...  oh don't look so shocked, it was foreseen you would come here."
Terri  "Listen pal, we didn't know we were coming here."
Pot Skrix  "The true Lords of the Sith did."
Torm  "Sith Lords... yeah, I think we'll be going..."

But as the Warriors' moved towards the door four combat droids activated, two assassin droids with twin laser, and two with energy pikes.

Pot Skirx  "Please let's not get unpleasant.  Enjoy your drinks until my master arrives.  Would you like to give me the Holocron?"
Torm  "Not really."
Pot Skrix  "Oh well.  I won't force you to give me.  but you will."

The minutes pass slowly and tensions start to flair.

Terri  "You always get us caught Torm.  I don't know why you're the leader."
Torm  "Yeah, better than a Garbarian who is bettered by Stormtroopers!"

Junior  "STOP!  It's the Holocron.  It's very presence feeds our negative emotions.  I feel myself getting angry for no reason.  I think we really do need Jo'din."

Torm  "Dark side mojo.  I get it.  So, Pot, what is all this true Sith nonesense?"
Pot Skirx  "It is far from nonesense.  A thousand years ago a Sith Lord named Bane tricked and murdered the Lords of the Sith.  He brought about the Sith Rule of Two, a Master and Apprentice.  But the teachings of the Lords of the Sith survived, and have grown, existing in secret waiting for the false Sith to reveal themselves, which they now have.  We plan to eliminate Banes teachings and establish a New Sith Empire."

Moments later a roar can be heard overhead.

Pot Skrix  "It is too soon."
Torm  "Sorry pal, but that will be our ride."
Pot Skrix  "Comms are blocked here... how...?"
Terri  "Yeah, well you're no the only one with magic mojo."
Pot Skrix  "Could it be... the Northstar!"

The barkeep looks out the window where the starship Sixty-Nine has landed.  Another four combat droids approach as Jo'din and Wookoid exit...

Episode Four - Return of the Northstar

Wookoid lunges at the two assassin droids, smashing them to pieces; Jo'din rolls towards the two combat droids and easily slices them apart with her lightsaber.

In the cantina Pot Skrix shakes his head.

Pot Skrix  "Sorry, but I have no choice, I must kill your friend.  When I return you will give me the Holocron."

Terri and Torm just glance at each other.

Torm  "Can I have another coffee?"
Pot Skrix  "Please, help yourself."

Pot Skrix exits the cantina and confronts Jo'din and Wookoid.  Pot gestures to the cantina.  "You friends are inside.  But I cannot let you, Northstar, go any further."  With that Pot Skrix ignites a red bladed lightsaber.

Jo'din  "I don't even know who you are.  I don't want to fight you."
Pot Skrix  "I am Pot Skrix, a servant of the true Sith.  Once you are dead and I have the holocron I will serve my master in eliminating the false Emperor and his pawn, Vader."
Jo'din [grinning] "Why don't you just go do that?"

Jo'din and Pot Strix move with precision as their lightsabers clash!

Lightsaber Duelling rules

- Jo'din wins - Advantage
- Pot Skrix wins - No Advantage
- Pot Skrix wins - Advantage
- Jo'din wins - No Advantage
- Jo'din wins - Advantage
- Jo'din wins - Victory

Blue and red lightsabers clash as Jo'din and Pot both push for advantage, but the opening is with the young twi'lek as she cuts down the servant of the Sith.  As Jo'din stands over the body of Pot Skirx the other Warriors exit the canitina, the droids disabled after Torm found the droid remote behind the counter.

Junior hands Jo'din the Sith Holocron.

Jo'din "I can feel it, it's trying to make me do bad things.  Silly thing isn't it."

The Warriors of Gar board the sixty-Nine and take off, setting course back to Tatooine and Xxandoola the Hutt.
