NB. some details of the adventure have been
changed to apply more towards the group.
Episode One - Welcome to Questal
Terri, her severed cybernetic right arm in a
sling, slumps into the co-pilots seat where Torm normally sits.
Torm "Really? You're
going to sit there?"
Terri "It's my ship."
Torm goes to sit in the pilot seat...
Terri "Wookoid sits there,
he's piloting."
Torm looks back at Terri "Why
are you being like this?"
Terri "Like what?"
Torm "I'll need to contact
the spaceport control when we arrive at Questal."
Terri "I can do that."
Torm "Look... Jo'din..."
(referring to the fact it was Jo'din who cut off Terri's arm to
save her from the exploding Black Ice)
Terri "Jo'din saved my life."
Torm "We were all wounded in that
last fight."
Terri "Sure. How's your
arm?"
Torm leaves the cockpit. He stops by
Jo'din who is leaning against her bunk.
Torm "I can't talk to her while
she's like this. Can you..."
Jo'din "Not me. I'm the one
that cut her arm off."
The SixtyNine arrives at Questal and is given
permission to land.
The planet Questal is under Imperial control
with it's capitol city Gralleenya having many great spires
echoing the beauty of Imperial City on Coruscant. And this
week is a celebration for Moff Bandor's birthday.
Passing through customs;
Customer Official "There is a
permit required for all personal weapons. What is your
purpose on Questal?"
Terri "Medical. I injured my
arm. I have no weapons. Frisk me... please?"
A customs guard happily checks Terrri for
weapons, getting very intimate with his search, which Terri
cheekily encourages, until the officer says that is enough.
Torm pays for his, Jo'din's and Juniors
blaster, while Jo'din sneaks through her lightsaber with a wave
of her hand (Force Power: Dim others senses).
Exiting onto the busy streets of Gralleenya
the streets are full of merry makers, singing and dancing.
Terri joins in a sexy dance with one of the merry makers.
Torm sees someone defacing a poster of Moff Bandor with "Die
soon Bandor!" before being taken away by Police. Torm
tries to ask someone about it but gets jostled (Fumble) and no
one seems to want to acknowledge what happened. People are
dancing and drinking, but don't seem happy.
Wookoid "Roaoaggh [standard
Imperial city])"
Torm "With you there."
Jo'din goes Terri to the hospital. Torm
then confides with Wookoid and Junior "We have a missing
agent, Tiree. We need to head to Shilley's Cantina to grab
some info."
The problem is the Warriors find the street
blocked with the Gala Parade and are forced to watch the
jugglers and acrobats go past. Amongst the entertainers is
a Troma, a distant relation to the Hoth Wompa. Torm
notices the Troma does not seem calm, and it's handler looks
nervous. As the creature goes past the crowd a kid pushes
past a woman with dark hair with a toy sparkle-gun and shreaks
with joy, but the kid disturbs the creature which roars and
breaks it's chains! Wookoid jumps into the parade and
tackles the Trompa, but is unable to grapple it so is forced to
brawl the creature.
The Troma to too strong for the Wookiee who
after a couple of rounds is Incapacitated!
Torm fies a couple of Stun shots at the
creature, the blasts are ineffective but enough to take the
creatures attention off the crowd. Torm then grabs the
control prod and is able to keep the creature occupied when...
JUNIOR shoots the creature with his Charon WebSpinner,
entangling it. With the creature restrained several
helpers are able to move it into a Force Cage. The
handler, is very grateful and calls for medics to helps Wookoid.
Terri & Jo'din's hospital visit, by all
comparisons is uneventful.
Episode Two - Tiree's Trail
Torm comms Jo'din to let her know where he
is, Shilley's Cantina. Yet another seedy hive of scum and
villainy. A four armed barman servers patrons, a Wookiee
bouncer, snoring twi'lek, a game of sabacc between a drunk
Quarren and an Ugnaught and a group of Swoopers make up the
clientele. The Wookiee, Snuffalon, signals Torm to the
room at the back of the bar.
Torm and Shilley discuss the situation.
Moff Bandor has some unknown power, and is in high standing in
The Empire. There are dissidents, an influential farmer
recently came to town but disappeared.
Suddenly there is a disturbance in the
bar. The Warriors head back to find a group of five drunk
Swoopers standing up to Snuffalon. But when a second
Wookiee appears, Wookoid, the fight starts! A flurry of
blows from the Wookiees and Torm blasting the Swoopers on Stun
and the fight ends quickly, with the boss who was at the back
running out the door. Torms comm bleeps, that was Tiree's
homing signal, that Swooper must have it. Torm gives chase
but the boss is already on his Swoop. Torm jumps on another
Swoop and gives chase!
At first Maldeen, the swooper, starts to get
away. But the chase soon leads into the carnival streets.
Maldeen loses his advantage evading a holographic Rancor, and
Torm who is not unfamiliar with Swoops starts to gain ground.
Maldeen heads through a busy traffic intersection, but he and
Torm avoid any collisions. Maldeen then makes a mistake
and turns a corner where there is a huge Sail Barge, he fails to
evade and tears though it's sail, the fabric wrapping around him
causing him to crash. Torm picks up the thug and questions
him about the pendant. Maldeen reveals he found in an
abandoned X-Wing, but there was a droid stopping them from
activating the X-Wing, so they took it to a local junk dealer
call Ellam.
Torm meets up with Warriors, Terri now with a
new Cybernetic arm.
Honest Ellam is a short four-armed blue alien
who sits in a hover chair, your typical second-hand speeder
dealer. Torm get a good rapport going with Ellam, who then
shows Torm the X-Wing. Ellam makes sure to show he has security,
Gammorean Guards and several canine-like Caniphants in cages.
Ellam explains they had to remove the R2 Unit and fit a new
computer, and all he wants is 150,000 credits.
Torm "Sorry Ellam, too hot
for me. But I like you, tell you what, I'll give 1000 for
the R2. My guy here is a tech and loves playing with those
things?"
Ellam tries to haggle, but let's Torm have
the Droid.
The Warriors head back to Shilley's where
Junior can work on the droid.
Episode Three - Tiree's Tale
Warriors manage to find a recording or Tiree
meeting with a group of people, and a dark haired woman Torm
remembers seeing in the crowd earlier. Shilley recognises
Tiree's droid, D-E0. She says Tiree was meeting with Mosh
Pelkan, one of the district bosses. Pelkan is havina party
this evening, Shilley should be able to get the Warriors in...
Torm gives Wookoid some instructions and some
credits, Wookoid will stay behind as backup, as usual.
That evening...
Mosh Pelkan's mansion is
beautiful. Transparent walls allow for a view of the city,
the spires of Moff Bandor's Palace can be seen in the distance.
Torm easily manages to bluff past the security checking passes,
and as it is a costume party the Warriors have come
appropriately dressed. Though Terri is still acting
uncharacteristically happy, dancing and mingling with the crowd
and drinking wine.
The party is attended by many underworld
elements Torm easily recognises.
Torm makes conversation with Ref Mawber, a
businessman so he claims. Ref fails his Con (Fumble)
against Torm, Torm recognising Ref as ISB. Torm warns
Junior and Jo'din to stay clear of him, but doesn't tell Terri
for fear she'll cause trouble. As the evening moves on
Mosh Pelkan introduces the entertainment, a gladiator duel
between his champion, Cromag, and a Wookiee and Gammorean.
The crowd loves the spectacle, Cromag is huge and would not
doubt give even Wookoid trouble. Cromag is easily
victorious.
Torm manages to speak with Pelkan. Torm
tries making small talk, and tries to slip Tiree's name into the
conversation. Torm slips up (Fumble) and Pelkan realises
he has Torm at his advantage.
Pelkan
"I knew some of his friends
would come looking for him, as does the gentleman you were
talking to earlier."
Torm "We both know who he is."
Pelkan "Yes, so it would not be good
for you if I let him know you were looking for a known Rebel.
But I can give you the information you want for a price."
Torm "I'm not going to like this,
what?"
Pelkan "Oh, a simple task... defeat Cromag!"
Torm "There is no..."
Terri "Sure. I'm fight him."
Torm "No."
Terri "Oh this will be fun."
Terri then heads directly to the arena entrance. Torm
winces.
Torm "Get your man out of there.
She'll kill him."
Pelkan "What? You are warning me?
Dear me, I hardly think..."
Like many aliens, Cromag is unclothed but for
a loincloth. In the arena Terri taunts the crowd and
offers to to dress accordingly. The Crowd cheers, and
cheer louder as she takes off he top and strips off her
trousers. She hooks her fingers in the rim of her
underwear.... the crowd goes wild and in one swift motion Terri
is naked. Terri strides around the arena allowing everyone
a look at her naked body, before turning to taunt Cromag!
Torm "She's... oh what's the point.
Give me the mic."
Torm "Lady's and gentlebeings, boys and
aliens, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE. We have the defending
Champion, you all know him, he's undefeated... CROMAG! And
the challenger, the Beauty..."
Pelkan "err... Beauty? Not Beauty
as in..."
Torm "Terri... LEX - GAAAAAR!"
unknown "and the special
guest referee.."
Torm "What is this?!"
Pelkan "This is not my doing..."
"Use
my body to keep you alive..."

Torm "Oh no!"
Junior "Torm, I think it is fair to say you have
now lost control of the situation."
Terri and Cromag face off
in the Arena, with Bossko B. dancing an playing to work up
the crowd.
