And your character what...?

and my character? He's the one who has the orb (or one of them).

Thought he was raising the army, and holding onto the Orb of Purity for dear life.

Does he read Massassi well enough to know something about what he's got in his hand?

BTW, didn't have TMM actually make the call in that last post. The Sith army is coming and Liam has gone to try to put the fear of the not-so-Jedi into them.

How do we want to work this? Somehow, TMM's mind has to get inside of that orb for a spell. That's where the clue is.

As to the clue, how about this: the Orb stores some memory of every event that happens within its confines. Every contest that has gone inside of it has left some mark on it--often, this includes the disfigurement of the mind of the loser. This is what can drive someone crazy if he stays in there too long.

But...it also has the "memory" of how and why it was made. It is a PROTOTYPE of the Orb of Forever. Its creator left a specific note that it is a FLAWED, IMPERFECT VERSION OF THE FINAL CREATION...and THAT is the clue.

How's that?

Next dilemma: where's the next clue going to be and how are we going to introduce it?

P.S. Would appreciate it if we could add an actual Jedi to the good guys. Our token dropped out.

I agree - having only non-Jedi on the Jedi's side is a bit odd.

I guess so. I'm assuming that our character's know enough about the Massassi language but we, in RL, don't.

Since TMM is anti-force, I think that he should sort of "attract" the force within the orb to him, and he can't controle the magnitude of the force which comes out of the orb. Kinda putting him in a coma. I'm thinking of something like what happened to Neo in Matrix II.

Works for me.

I'm thinking that the next clue will give some sort of a fancy map.
As to where it is, why not Yavin 4 since the first orb is written in Massassi anyways. If I remember correctly, Yavin 4 was where the Massassi slaves originated.

We could use my female Jedi character whom I offered when this thing started.

As for the Jedi... Jacen kind of is one... but he is a former Jedi... now he's actually more of a Sith.

I *shudder* to think of what will happen when he learns that Liam and Miriam are actually working with the Jedi.

Oh he'll run into my character, who knows they are Jedi, and he will tell Jacen out right. Of course, this just causes confusion.....

We need an actual Jedi (who is still working for the Jedi). Not a rogue Jedi turned Dark Jedi.

The question is who will he believe...

Right.. Jacen is extremely unstable, and he could go off the deep end if it becomes bad enough, bhe might just decide to kill everyone! :p

But more realistically, he is very umbalanced, and he could make some very rash decisions if pressed.

Right.. Jacen is extremely unstable, and he could go off the deep end if it becomes bad enough, bhe might just decide to kill everyone! :p

How old/powerful is Jacen? I was under the impression that he was no more than 20... and a ex-Jedi who never formally completed his training.

Jacen:

He's 19.

He completed his training... but by himself, in exile. He left the order at 16 (i think if I remember my post right) and trained himself for three years.

Him and the force are very dear friends.

He is not extremely powerful, although he can do some damage if he needs to. The real danger he poses is that if he gets angry, he becomes much more skilled than he would normally be (this is an extreme variation of force rage). He is also quick on his toes, and a very quick thinker.

His strength is also his weakness though... his lack of experience is a big downfall.

Alright, I was just maing sure he wasn't some super Jedi (i.e. he has no chance of taking them all down).

No... I wouldn't like a character that wasn't vunerable... at least in a few respects.

But he's smart, he won't take on the universe, he'd rather systematically take out one thing at a time.

BTW... FYI, he has drawn quite attracted to that apprentice of yours... you probably would notice that. He might not fight without her at his side... ;)

Me, duh *Sarcasm intended*. Well, he would have an idea that he should be allied with me when my character whirles force lightning at the Jedi. When he figures the Jedi don't use Dark Side powers like a sith would, he will know.....

Um... have you missed something in the RP? My character is not a Jedi either... he has already used force lightning many times... he uses "dark side powers" all the time.

I was referring to Miriam who Liam claimed to be Thion. According to pg. 4 (of this thread), Miriam is a Jedi apprentice (unless she turned to the dark side durring the Rp) and Liam was Neutral-Former Jedi . Miriam, last checked, was married to Jenghis (whom I haven't seen much in this Rp).

I semi-kenw that Liam was neutral and could use both Light and Dark Side.

I was referring to Miriam who, unless I missed something or something was screwed up, is still Jedi.

Miriam isn't a Jedi. She's a former apprentice of the Metal Man. She uses a fighting style that no Jedi would teach her. Too dangerous. TMM taught her the style to use as a vampire hunter. She was going to be fighting creatures that were stronger and faster than she was. She needed an edge. Verpuud gave her that edge. It can turn an enemy's attacks back against the enemy.

I have a back story on the verpuud style if anybody wants to hear it.

Sorry. I wanted to bring all that to a head. From my last post, Jacen learned

* Miriam is Miraim, not Thiron

* Miriam is married

* Miriam and TMM are allies

* They can order a Republic Strike Force

Right now, the only thing that he would find less-than-agravating is the respect that he's getting out of TMM. TMM will try to deal honestly with him, if that's what he wants. TMM can show him skills. He will offer to work with Jacen uniquely, building him a unique style that is fit to him individually. Jacen will, no doubt, lack the patience for this. He will also be reticent to discuss his weaknesses with a pacifist, as he will not respect that choice of lifestyle.


As I said, my female character is a Jedi, not Grey or turned Dark Jedi.


OK. Is there some way that we can get her into this? I would imagine that a group like the Jedi would not want "people" like TMM, Jenghis...and Liam to work without supervision. They might trust TMM, but that's as far as it'll go. They might not trust TMM, either.

I mean, we can always wait until the end of the festivities on Koriban and set her up as the supervising Jedi Master, but that leaves the group unsupervised on Koriban. We could have her come down with the landing party, too.

-------------

In other news, I'm still waiting for Thiron to take a couple of those grenades of his and blow the lid back off of that hole in the temple.

Only problem with that choice is that it leaves HC out in the cold. We need to do something to help get his characters more involved in the RP. We've ignored Romalee for far too long.

@DS: Question; why would you tell Jacen who you really were after Liam told him you were Thiron?

@DS: Question; why would you tell Jacen who you really were after Liam told him you were Thiron?

Stupidity. I forgot some of the exchange between Liam and Jacen.

We can recover from that, though. Just have Jacen question the names, and TMM will ask why she's going by that name again and say that he thought she retired it years ago. No big deal.

Yeh... you mean like Thiron is her Sith name, (e.g. Anakin Skywalker = Darth Vader).

Yes.

Yep... she slipped up a bit... but I don't remember her being called Thiron, I didn't think that Liam ever said her name, he just said "apprentice". I could be mistaken though.

We will see, Jacen will use prudence, until he sees a Jedi, then hell pretty much breaks lose.

I think it's your turn to post again NSDast... but maybe it's Huntaer's... depending on what order you want things to happen.

I'm getting the army is a ways off, so we should be able to finish our conversation before they get here... and Jacen will have time to make his decision.

But you better speak with him before he just makes himself scarce. You're probably going to need his help.

Yep... she slipped up a bit... but I don't remember her being called Thiron, I didn't think that Liam ever said her name, he just said "apprentice". I could be mistaken though.

He said it. Something like, "This is my apprentice... Thiron."

ok...

looks like I'm about to meet the real Thiron.

ok...

looks like I'm about to meet the real Thiron.

As long as he responds...

Speaking of responding, does someone want to TG HC to let him know that he's on again? Knowing him, he's forgotten about the RP again. Our fault for not involving him, too.

-----------------------------

Forgive me, but I forgot the name of the Sith whom TMM is going to encounter next. Let's arrange this one so that it's more of a knock-down, drag-out than the previous ones TMM has been involved in. While I appreciate the humility with which Huntaer has allowed TMM to have his way with Thiron--and, for a change, I'm not being the least bit sarcastic about this, I realize that Thiron could have been much, must nastier--I would like to see TMM involved in some actual combat. Since we have a bulletin board thread, let's correograph this scrum.

The basics we already have...Liam, in an awesome display of Force-Adeptitude, gets the entire army's attention while TMM finds [sorry again about forgetting the name]. As Miriam pacifies the Sith Base, Liam holds the entire Sith Army at bay and TMM and [sorry again about forgetting the name] gear up for a Battle Royalle.

Here's where I see the thing going:

As the Battle is about to start, Thiron, Jacen and Romalee pop out of the temple entrance, now all on the same side. Liam has his hands full. Seeing that he has the upper hand, [sorry again about forgetting the name], who knows something about the Orb of Purity, decides that he wants to be cruel and sadistic, and pulls TMM's mind into the Orb with him. Since he's cruel and sadistic, he imprisons TMM's mind there and starts to leave. He has trouble wiping out TMM's body, though, because there are some automatic systems that kick in and allow the suit to defend itself on a limited basis. Of course, these aren't nearly up to the standards of a Sith Apprentice. As he's about to wipe the suit out of existence, the strike force arrives. In the confusion, he is distracted and TMM manages to free himself from the Orb of Purity--at the cost of most of his lucidity. TMM turns tail and runs, giving [sorry again about forgetting the name] a Victory. The non-Jedi good guys meet again at the shuttle, TMM fixes the engine cone, telling the others, in between fits of insanity, some of what he knows, and then, as he lapses into a fugue, they carry him into the shuttle and leave.

[Sorry again about forgetting the name] gets to show his Master, Darth Solous, The Prize. But he let his adversaries live. Solous is not impressed. He pitches [sorry again about forgetting the name] into the Orb...and then the two of THEM eventually learn its secret...at the cost of some of THEIR sanity. (Their minds are more robust than TMM's, so they come out of it fairly quickly.)

The Good Guys go back to a Jedi council meeting, and TMM, now somewhat recovered, tells them what he's learned--now, everybody knows, though neither side can be sure that the other knows it, too (unless some force user has a vision).

Revisions? Additions?

It sounds ok... but I'm not so sure how Jacen fits into all of this. He hates Jedi, that much is certain, but there really aren't any Jedi forces here... so he may choose to side with anyone.

More likely than not, he will side with the Sith, IF Solous can convince him that he is the true one who called him here.

Miriam is also a huge motivation for Jacen, so depending on her he could go either way.

Somewhere in here... Jacen is going to have an ultimatum on who to choose to die with, and then he will decide. But that ultimatum will likely be when both sides are all together squaring off. I am assuming both sides will want his blade.

Sounds good to me. Jacen can be a wild card until he decides.

BTW, I did leave some loose ends. For example, I have no idea what's going to happen between Thiron/Romalee/Jacen and Liam, and there was a Jedi character mentioned who should be leading the assault, and we will have to work her into the mix.

BTW, I TG'ed HC and told him that we've finally gotten things to the point where he can make another post. Let's hope he's still interested.

I think it is good.

It is slightly planned and yet still open and free floating.

Is it just me, or was anyone else locked out of the forum for the last few days?

(Perhaps "locked out" is a bad choice of words. There was somekind of database error that came up when I tried to get in. It wasn't a privalege problem.)

Yep... they completely shut it down for the past few days... it's up now though... let's get this show on the road!

I was locked out, but it didn't matter to me. I'm going through a... situation in RL right now, so I need another Sith player to controle Shamman for now (note, he's not the actual Shamman from the Galactic Empire of Huntaer so I truely don't care what happens to him that much). I'm going to only have enough time to update my store fronts (links and pics need fixing) and perhapse post up one or two Rp's with RL friends (I can have delays with them).

When I'm through, I might beable to go into whatever part remains of this RP (whenever my grades are all minumum "B-'s" should be by the end of the month).

I would, but my schedule and free time is terrible at present (and the last ten days of March is Spring Break for me - and I am going away for most of it).

And wham bam thank'ya mam! The sith troopers let out a hail of blaster fire, a true testimate to the power of the dark side, and they serged forth, led by Shamman himself who swung his lightsabers in arcs and pressed into the fray of battle head first, followed by his troops who wielded vibroblades and blasters.

Can you be a little more descriptive with this? Such as, who they are fighting. The republic soldiers are not there yet... the only people they could attacking is The Metal Man, Jacen, Thrion, or Liam (who is on top of the massive temple).

Er, I think I'll drop outta this one. I followed it fairly well, but now it's like 1,2,3...3762! So yeah, hope the RP goes well!

Arg... we have like three or four people left.

We should definately get this going quick, because next Friday I am going to be gone for about 10 days.

Yeah.. let's get the ball rolling. All me and Krey need to do is meet with Romalee and then we can leave the temple...

I've been waiting, but it hasn't happened yet... I already RPed my guys requesting Krey to move out, I think he should at least post us walking down a hallway if nothing else.

But then again, if Holy just dropped out then we have no Romalee... so we might as well just leave the temple Krey...

Why don't we have the planetary defenses shoot down the Faith's Fury? It is a neat and easy way to remove HC's characters from the RP as part of the story. It adds some depth to, with the Sith actually killing something.

OOC: O.o...damn you. Well I can make some crack pot reason for them living for use later on. So, yeah kill the destoryer if you want to. But Ika and Rolamee live...*shakes fist* Or else...uh...um...I'll unleash rabid squirrels!

I am not actually sure which ones they are, but if you are reading through both the IC and OOC thread you will find out.

Some characters of players who have dropped out:

Romalee (Independant/Sith Allied)--in the Sith Temple, trying to sneak up on Thiron and failing miserably

Ikaporamee (Independant/Jedi Allied)--in orbit. Not exactly sure what he's doing.

Jared (not sure name is correct, but he's a Jedi, and the name starts with a "J")--in space helping provide long-range communications

There is another character named Shamman, whose creator is not posting and may have dropped out. My memory is foggy, but he may have just taken a leave of absence and told us to be good to his character.

Just a heads up:

I am leaving on spring break soon and will be unable to post. I have decided to relinquish control of Liam to Dastardly Stench. Try to keep within his abilities and personality and no major changes (e.g. death - though including the less extreme).

I will be back on the 27th and take him over then - you can start RPing with him tomorrow at 2 PM ET.

Let's face it, folks. We need someone to lead the Jedi landing that distracts Shamman. If his player has bequeathed him to us, I can pick it up. We still need the Sith army to show and we need the Jedi landing force to come down.

Assume that Miriam got, to coin a phrase, took care of the base.

Certainly, B.U.'s character would fill a needed role.

OK. Does Liam have a plan beyond his big show of force? What happens AFTER he unleashes his Force Lightning?

If Miriam asked, would he show her how to generate Force Lightning?

AFTER TMM shows up at the shuttle half crazy and somehow, smoking suit and all, manages to get the engines fixed, would that be enough for Liam to start to respect him? Would having him share the information about the Orb of Purity with Liam before he tells it to the Jedi council lead Liam to start to trust him a little more?++++++

It won't necessarily be Force Lightning that he unleashes, but not really. He is just putting on a display and attacking with the lightsabers.

Really? Before this I wasn't even aware you could teleport via the force. Although it might be possible for a Jedi/Sith of very high caliber (Maybe Liam, Shamman, and Solous, and some of the council Jedi)

So do you think the higher-end Force users could teleport others? But it couldn't be used as a weapon (teleporting someone into lava, acid, someone's lightsaber), both people would have to go to the same place?

I just think that based on how the force and force powers work (what little we know), it wouldn't.

So...how are Liam and TMM going to bridge the gap between them?

Dastardly Stench']So...how are Liam and TMM going to bridge the gap between them?

What do you mean? The difference in personalities? If so, then I don't think that needs to be bridged, however if you/your character does then you can ICly attempt to bridge it through any means you/he can think of.

The Metal Man lives by something that he calls the Code of Respect. He will not tollerate the unearned contempt that Liam gives him. Though, as he will put it, we all start from ourselves and work our way out, it is often necessary for us to understand others who are different from ourselves. Liam fails to do this.

Well have him confront Liam about it if you want. That would be the most direct approach.

You might want to send Liam and Shasta and Miriam to go and save Master P'do's life. They could thrust out a blade and block Jacen's attack in the middle of it.

Do you want P'do to be saved... or is just a suggestion of what we could do?

Do you want P'do to be saved... or is just a suggestion of what we could do?

In case you all forgot, Shamman has telepathed Jacen a message offering to aid him.

Shamman's plan, if Jacen chooses to accept it, is to use the Orb of Purity to trap P'do's mind. While the mind is in the orb, the body will not be able to move--it will be a sitting duck for Jacen's light saber.

Either way, Shamman's on the scene, and so is Thiron, who will be sneaking up on whowever he can while Shamman uses the force to confuse everyone so they can't detect Thiron that way. Someone might want to have their characters interact with them.

BTW, the stuff on the internet says that Verpaad (note the spelling) died with Master Windu. Is Vaarpad a different style?

I have a slight back story that explains Miriam's use of Verpuud, which is based upon Verpaad:

Windu left an encrypted archive of his teachings in the Jedi Temple. After it was sacked at the hands of Darth Vader, the temple was left unguarded, and was ransacked by thieves. Thus it was that, through the black market, the Metal Man managed to acquire a copy of the entire archive.

Windu and the Metal Man had spoken on one previous occasion. At that time, Windu left TMM a hint as to the encryption key. Using that hint, TMM decrypted the archive, and became the only person who knew the rudiments of the form. He passed this on to Miriam, who cannot access the force without using the most powerful of her feelings, and, together, they altered it, giving Verpuud, which, without sacrificing striking power, did away with some of the more dangerous techniques that led at least one other Jedi master to the dark side. Along the way, they improved the sword technique slightly. This willingness to pass the techniques on to one who is not a Jedi is one of the many points of friction between TMM and the Jedi.

Do we want Jacen and Miriam to cross swords?

BTW, TMM and Shamman were put into the story at this point basically to cancel each other out. That leaves Thyron to be up to no good. I haven't done anything with the character, but I'd like to see him involved in the heavy hitting.

The way things are working right now, Shamman and TMM cancel out, Thyron and Liam cancel out, and Miriam and Jacen cancel out...leaving Shasta as the one who decides the day, seeing as P'Do's out of action. Comments? Changes?

The Vapaad is said to have died with Mace... but from what I read of the bacground of this RP... we are in the time before the Republic's fall and the Emperor's rise... not after. Therefore the Vapaad is likely rare but not totally lost.

Someone needs to save P'do... that's why I haven't quite killed him yet. He's kind of critical to what's going on, and he's a fantastic force user. Besides, Jacen can't feed his anger any further.

It would be best if Liam, Shasta, and Miriam decide to go save him, and Shasta saves her master by putting his lightsaber in the way just in time.

Shasta will be working with the Jedi. She'll probably hang with Miriam. But let's not forget Jacen in all of this. He's strangely attracted to Miriam, and his allegiance is to Liam unless Shamman can change his mind.

He is also about to be struck down by Jacen's lightsaber anyway.

No idea... :(

I haven't read the last 24 hours' posts yet, but...it looks like TMM is going to do what he can to save P'Do and, Thiron is going to attack TMM and Shamman is going to try to pop P'Do's mind into the Orb of Purity so that he'll be a sitting duck for Jacen.

I'll check and see how those things are working out.

Going to have TMM still shrugging off the affects of the Orb, BTW. He's going to need HELP.

No kidding. If Miriam decides so then Liam, Miriam, and Shasta will return to help. So it is really up to you.

I don't understand. Does this say that Shamman is about to get struck down?

If you do that, we're going to have to change the story. It originally called for Shamman to survive and take the Orb back to Solous.

No, they were separate comments (though related). You said Shamman telepathed Jacen and offered him help. I said that he responded to that and anyway he doesn't appear to need help as he is about to kill P'do.

Kreynoria']So Thiron is to hit TMM since he appears to be the only other one there?

He's there to surprise and intimidate the Jedi sympathisers. Right now, TMM looks like a tempting target...but he should be careful. TMM's sensors render his cloaking suit ineffective. He can't SURPRISE TMM...but he MIGHT be able to intimidate him.

No, they were separate comments (though related). You said Shamman telepathed Jacen and offered him help. I said that he responded to that and anyway he doesn't appear to need help as he is about to kill P'do.

Kewl.

Sort of a random question (though not in my thought process): How experienced/good with a lightsaber is TMM supposed to be?

He's over 300 years old. He's good enough with a light saber that the Jedi recognise him as a teacher. He'd be better, but he does so many other things (like learn how to fix shuttle engines and search out obscure archives) that it cuts into his practice time.

I was just wondering because Jedi and Sith (and Greys) basically let the force guide their moves.

Yep. But TMM is anti-force. It doesn't work around him.

With Jacen, this would tend to level the playing field. With full control of the force, Jacen could easily defeat TMM with a light saber. Without it, though, things get a little more interesting.

Just a few thoughts...

Before I can post again, I need two things:

* Thyron has to make his move

* Jacen has to respond to TMM's weapon blast

Shamman is about to unleash some force lightning, folks--if his turn comes up.

How do we want to work this? For one thing, TMM can reattach P'Do's arm if you want. His blood has healing properties. All he has to do is inject some and it'll give P'Do a short burst of super healing factor. The downside is that the blood also damages nervous systems, and might drive P'Do crazy for a while.

I'm volunteering to have him do that because it also puts the good guys and the bad guys in one-on-one match-ups. Basically, it becomes a tag team match: Jacen/Thyron/Shamman against Liam/Miriam/Shasta.

I was writing Shamman as making up a demeaning name for every foe he faced--though these names might change over time, as long as you're not on Shamman's good side, he'll have one of these names for you. TMM, for example, has become "the artificial intelligence." If this quirk doesn't work, let us all know. If there's some other quirk that he, or any other NPC, should adopt, let us all know that, too.

Remember... Jacen is still somewhat under the sway of Miriam and Liam. And when Shasta shows up, he's going to be stunned.

You can have TMM replace the arm... but if you look closely he'll have to replace the arm AND both legs.

I'll have Jacen respond. He just tried to save you about fifteen minutes ago (game time), so I don't know how he will react to this. I'm just gonna let him flow.

One more thing... won't TMM destroy all of our force and then make the battle not so even?

Best way to put it is that TMM deadens the force in the world around him. If a character generates the force him- or herself (and most do), he or she will still be able to channel the force that he or she produces. He just won't be able to supplement this with any from the outside of himself.

TMM has another capability: he can unleash waves of pure randomness. This is a last-resort measure, though, because, if he does this, he can temporarliy alter the laws of physics and kill himself. No way to predict it--it's completely random. This, is, in fact, what deadens the force. The force is order in chaos. TMM holds back chaos. He has to get too close to chaos when he does this. The two don't mix.

Boy... I think that Jacen is going to get real confused soon...

Boy... I think that Jacen is going to get real confused soon...

He is already.

He's going to make a choice real soon here... and he's going to go with the side that he think will benefit him the most.

I have a tendancy to think he needs sheltering... and both sides will have to probably offer him more teaching in the force in order for him to follow.

If neither side appeals to him, he will just kill P'do and leave.

BTW... where's the orb?

Boy... I think that Jacen is going to get real confused soon...

IC: Thiron knew the sensors on the box would see through his simple cloaking suit like a cat threw darkness, so he had tucked himself away between two rocks and drawn his disruptor rifle. On Shamman's call, he'd fired and then rolled to the side to take a different cover, simultaneously uncloaking. Hopefully a new Sith player would help intimidate the enemy...

Agreed.

We could even set it a couple years in the future so that Jacen has received some more training and the Sith have recovered. Maybe it could start with the Sith killing one of the characters (like P'do or Shasta or somebody).

Limitations:

1) The original story arc called for a confrontation between the Sith (particularly, Darth Solous) and the Jedi.

2) In order to make room for Jacen in the Sith Ranks, I was planning on having Shamman lose his mind in the Orb of Purity. This doesn't necessarily have to happen, though. I just thought it would work.

3) That Sith Lord whose personality shares the Metal Man's body with him is going to try to get a body of his own: Liam's. He's going to try to trap Liam's mind in the Orb of Life, and to kill Jenghis so that Jenghis, who has used the Orb of Life for too long not to notice something wrong, won't raise an alarm, and to kill the Metal Man, for obvious reasons. This also doesn't have to happen.

4) The military battle on the planet still rages.

Jenghis is aboard Brain Jar, where he has been all along.

1) There is a plot line where TMM distributes the inscriptions he got from the temple walls, and they translate 'em, and these contain the last clues that allow the Good Guys (oops! I almost wrote "Jedi" there) to figure out what the Orb of Forever is, and TMM uses the Sith Personality that thinks it's controlling him to figure out how to control or neutralize an Orb and Liam learns it, too, where the characters could be on their way to the Sith Enclave within...4 days, their time.

----------------------------

So...

Do you want to get Jacen into a swordfight with Jenghis? Or would it do better to inject him into the story where Jacen is now? He's telepathic, after all, and would be able to sense Jacen's distress, and would want to help. Perhaps we could have some general confessions here.

It seems that each of our characters has lost family through violent means--except TMM, who was made to watch, for lack of a better term, as his body was torn apart. Jenghis was found at the point of death and crossed over by a clan of vampires after a rival clan had killed the rest of his family. Miriam's father was killed when a xenomorph laid an egg in his body. Perhaps "killed" isn't the best term for that, either. The creature that the egg grew into--see the character "Marvel" whom I tried to introduce earlier--has all of his memories, and still carries the torch of her father's love for her, despite the fact that she still hasn't completely made peace with him. Would this be a good time to bring any of this out?

Point is that this is a lesson in double-think. The Sith Lord is using the Metal Man to get a shot at another life. The Metal Man is using the Sith Lord to find out how to handle an Orb. For obvious reasons, he can't stop and ask Liam's permission...but he feels--and this is the actual point of conflict--that between himself, Jenghis and Liam, the three of them are capable of putting the Sith Lord back in cold storage. Obviously, the Sith Lord doesn't feel this way.

Do we want to give the guy a name?

So...should Jacen and Jenghis come into conflict, should they become friends, should they meet and go their separate ways or should they never meet?

Idea: I was thinking about Liam's ship that left him a while ago - when he and the rest of the gang first met up on the Brian's Jar (or whatever the name is). Perhaps when Liam contacts it, he can only find its location and does not get a reply (via the Force or the ship's communications). They travel to the ship and pull up next to it...

When Liam (and whoever else) go onboard, they find the only human passenger (that woman) has been killed as her lightsaber lies next to her and the droids that had been in charge of maintenance and piloting the ship were destroyed...

Perhaps the Sith?

I don't quite understand what just happened.

TMM is now a Sith? Or is he just seeking revenge on Liam for something?

Anyways... I can assure you that Jacen will be by Liam's side from now on (unless Jacen is with Miriam...)

I believe when TMM got stuck in the orb thing, there were a lot of personalities and beings stuck inside.

When he was restored to his body, the Sith's personality came with him. Now they are fighting for control of the body and mind - the Sith on top at the moment.

I already discussed this stuff in this thread.

The Metal man is letting the Sith have control because the Sith knows how to control an orb and TMM can only learn properly by watching him do it. It's TMM's plan to step in at the last moment and put the Sith down, after he's learned what he needs to know.

Whether or not that plan is going to work is another question, but that's the plan...

:) :) :)

I don't know how Liam is going to take the whole thing, either. It'll be fun, anyway.

Sorry, I am sick right now and my head is all over the place.

@DS: I just realized where your idea for the orb came from: The Rakatan Prison.

Actually, I've never heard of the Rakatan Prison. I just had the idea--though I do agree with you that it's neither particularly creative nor particularly original.

So what's the Rakatan Prison? Is there a URL where I can read about it?

Choose Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rakatan_Prison) for all of your Star Wars needs.

Basically it was a prison built by the ancient race of Rakata that was used for punishments. It stripped the criminal's mind from his body and trapped it inside...

Thanks. I bookmarked the Wookiepedia.

Now...what are the Sith going to do while Jacen and Liam are sorting things out...?

I'd like to make a post where Shamman and Solous meet, and Solous is less than thrilled with Shamman's performance. What about Thyron? Will Solous deal directly with him?

Sounds good.

I would think so.

Well...just made the post that unveils The New Darth Solous. Gave him a sadistic streak.

Krey, he's all yours. Since Solous is a pNPC until the end of the thread, I recommend that Thyron be on a ship heading for Solous's Heavy Hitter-Bigwig-Mauler-Spanking Machine thingamabob. Thyron can be a passanger with Shamman or he can be on a different ship. Your call. Either way, Solous and Thyron should have a little chat sometime.

This has probably already been answered, but, when the mission ended, they went back to Brain Jar.

Hope you don't mind the tack I took, making the Brain Jar a roving intragalactic sanctuary. Obviously, it has the affects of letting the Jedi know exactly where Liam and Jacen are, but preventing them from doing anything about it. It will confirm Jacen's suspicions, and give him time to consider his options.

The same.

I think it would be easier if Thyron was on the same ship as Shamman. Give Thyron a little cue where Shamman is dismissed and Thyron is called.

Btw, in DMG's sig it says forive instead of forgive

Kreynoria']Btw, in DMG's sig it says forive instead of forgive

Hence the type of stuff you are supposed to forgive me of. :p

Speaking of forgiving, I must ask Krey to forgive me for my vagueness earlier on this thread.

If Thyron and Solous are going to have a chat, Krey is going to have to RP both.

We can gloss over this by not including the conversation that they have in the thread--just saying that they had a little chat and not much else later on.

Your call, Krey.

I didn't originally plan for the Sith to still be on Liam's ship... but I guess that is fine (though it is a bit of a disconnect as Liam would have sensed a presence rather than none).

However, I must ask what will happen once they confront each other...

Never got the impression that the Sith were still on Liam's ship.

Got the impression that Shamman and Thyron escaped the Sith homeworld together, but that they were in a ship of their own and never had any contact with Liam's.

What gives?

Krey:

Solous ain't referring to the Sangheili. He's referring to the Sith soldiers that Thyron killed in the Temple after he and Shamman had their run-in with the rest of the crew.

Oh... my bad. I must have misread/made it up (lots of work and RPs to catch up with... my mind probably wasn't working properly when I thought that).

@DS: If you didn't know, I am waiting on you to have the ship arrive at Liam's and connect or prepare a shuttle to investigate.

Sorry. Thought you were going to do that. I'll do it now.

Dastardly Stench']Sorry. Thought you were going to do that. I'll do it now.

Ah my bad. I thought I left a little OOC tag at the end that said just have them arrive and shit.

Does Liam's ship have a name? What does it look like? How is it powered?

Does it have more than one airlock, or did I just make a little mistake?

Dastardly Stench']Does Liam's ship have a name? What does it look like? How is it powered?

The name is the Grey's Flight as stated early on in the RP (don't worry... I forgot too).

It isn't large, but it isn't small. There is sufficient space for multiple rooms and the bridge. As for powering, I don't know. Whatever standard star wars ships use...

As I said, it isn't a large ship so there is only one 'airlock'

Hope you don't mind my description. I was deliberately vague, and stuck to things that I could reason out from the earlier descriptions. When I wrote that it would work best with a crew of six, I obviously meant that a single organic and a few droids could run it just fine.

I decided on a fusion reactor because that makes sense for a ship like that one. It's got the right size and performance characteristics. It also makes the rest of the story easier...because it can be written that, after the attack, it ran out of fuel because there was no one around to switch fuel tanks. This will work well for the rest of the story because it will be very easy to restart the reactor--which we need right now. A fusion reactor also offers the advantage of having a byproduct--hot helium--that can be used in the kinds of plasma weapons that Star Wars technology is noted for.

Needless to say, if there's anything that needs to be written to describe that ship, I'd appreciate it if DMG would write it. :) :) :) BTW, what color is her hull? Gray? :) :) ;)

If no one minds, I'd like to get this all over with as soon as possible.

We need the "battle" between Kanth and the others so that the others will have the skills necessary to take on Solous, so the sooner we get that out of the way, the sooner we can move the RP into its final phase. I understand that we need this also because it makes room for Jacen in Liam's ship.

BTW...Krey: why would Solous send Thyron after P'do? He doesn't want to teach Jacen anything anymore, he wants to KILL the guy. If Thyron needs to be set upon anybody, that somebody is Liam...with TMM a close second. These are the people who have the most profound influence in Jacen's life right now, and they're the ones who will prevent him from turning to the dark side. If captured, TMM offers the secondary advantage that Solous can drain the chemicals out of him and try to learn the secrets of a single, immortal body (even Darth Sideous had to clone a new body every few decades). Just my two cents' worth.

Fine with me, though they were a little off in my opinion (through no fault of your own). I will just note a few things I noticed:

1) A crew of six is fine, though it important to note that none of the crew on Liam's ship were organic. He used only droids to pilot and maintain his ship. Aside from him there was only one organic (human) on the ship.

2) His ship isn't that big. It is easily small enough to land on a planet's surface (though, I am not sure what that really means as even the Acclamator I-class assault ship (which is roughly 750 meters long) could land on a planet). It is probably no more than sixty meters (though my estimates are not based on anything but a guess).

3) It has six 'living rooms' (bedrooms) on board the ship. Set up in a 3x2 in which the doors open to face the outside wall of the ship on both sides (and the rooms share a back wall). Each of the rooms is set up for two people (except Liam's which is set up for just him and is slightly more customized). So technically, it could hold 12 comfortably. There are, of course, other rooms in the ship (more than just the bridge and engine room).

OK. I edited the description to take these new facts into account.


Let's get this over with blah blah blah.


Agreed.

(You mean the RP, right?)

Yes. Right now, I need you to post something with Liam saying, "Go ahead, Metal Man," so that he can give Liam a hand getting the ship up and running. He can get the reactor going, but only Liam has the security codes necessary to reactivate the main computer and run a sensor sweep. TMM has presumed that he and Liam are on the same page about this.

Are they going to find any booby traps or anything, or will the attackers just have hit her and run? What should be the extent of the damage?

BTW...Krey: why would Solous send Thyron after P'do? He doesn't want to teach Jacen anything anymore, he wants to KILL the guy.

Should I just edit the post? When I thought of P'do, I remembered some of the planning for the next chapter of the story. One of the ideas was opening it with P'do's death, so I thought of that as a way of bringing it about. BTW, this is my first character RP, and I'm not very good with storylines.

Dastardly Stench']Are they going to find any booby traps or anything, or will the attackers just have hit her and run? What should be the extent of the damage?

No booby traps. They just hit her and his ship as an attack on Liam (a threat/warning sort of). The ship's interior will have numerous scorch marks and damaged walls in it. The functions of the ship will be severely handicapped and it could break at any time...

Jacen rounded the corner and ran directly into Jacen. Strangely enough, he ran into Liam's side with his own, and his reflexes at once went up to block the blade that Liam extended. The two lightsabers clashed and Jacen suddenly spoke, "Liam, I'm here. Obviously. Have you noticed we're going to have company soon?"

Couple of things I wish to note.

First is that remember it has only been three or four days since the battle on Korriban. (Just a reminder - P'do could be fully healed in that time, but he also may not have been - your decision).

The bold parts I hilighted in the above text are slightly confusing.
1) Jacen ran into Jacen?
2) What is Liam's side? (His literal side, like the side of his body?)
3) His own what?

Also, why would they slash their lightsabers at each other. They could feel that they were the only ones on the ship. They would also know that the other was there/coming as they just communicated to meet on the bridge. I would think they could sense each other's presence and know that they were not an enemy.

P'do is fully healed.

Sorry for the confusion on the bump part.

1) Jacen ran into Liam... messed up on the wording. I do that sometimes... please forgive me. Edited now.
2) His literal side. Like the side of his body.
3) His own side. They pretty much ran into each other sidewards. Knocking hips/stomachs/backs whatever happened to me in the way.

Pretty much, when they ran into each other their weight pushed their lightsabers forward. I presume in the post that either Jacen or Liam realized the danger and pushed his lightsaber up to block the random swinging blade.


Sorry for all the confusion. I just wanted them to bump into each other basically.

Alright - understood. Though it seems a bit odd that they would run into each other rather than just Jacen ran into Liam. Liam was already in the bridge looking around way before Jacen got there.

I feel I should mention a few things (as well as ideas):
1) Many of the ship's controls are severely damaged/destroyed by blaster fire (meaning not fixable).
2) Before any of the controls are fixed in the Bridge, the power will need to be restored. As of right now, the only thing running is the emergency lights.
3) The ship is not gong to be completely fixable. The hyperdrive will have been destroyed as well as many of the controls and guns.

4) I think this could be a good place for the final battle. The Jedi are just about there and the Sith could have been tapping Liam's comm unit and now know that there prey is onboard (but not know the Jedi are on their way). Everyone would meet in a final battle aboard the Grey's Flight or Bian's Jar.

1), 2) and 3) --No Problem. I just made a post where TMM got main power and some control systems working. Obviously, if there is no hyperdrive to control, the control computer won't do much good--similarly for the guns.

4) This is JACEN'S final battle, not THE final battle. The original script called for a final battle between our folks and DARTH SOLOUS AND THE SITH. I suppose we can change that, but...sorta renders the whole thing on Korriban meaningless, ya know?

And P'do can't be completely healed, either. TMM used his blood to seal the Jedi's limbs back to his body. The stuff messes with your mind. It would take MONTHS to recover from the dose that P'do got. P'do might be good enough to travel, but he can't be 100%...and, if they meet, TMM is going to have to ask P'do what it is that makes him think that he'll fare any better against Jacen's blade this time than he did in their previous encounter. Either they're not going to meet, or P'do had better have an answer. Maybe TMM's blood in P'do's veins might have something to do with it. :) :) :)

I propose that TMM tries to reason with P'do, but can't talk him out of the duel. So, instead, he proposes that this be a one-on-one duel between P'do and Jacen. If P'do wins, he can do whatever he wants with Jacen; but if Jacen wins, no more hunting parties. If they agree, TMM and Liam agree not to interfere--and he makes sure that Jacen understands that this means he won't try to intervene to save P'do's life again.

Krey:

I've been thinking about this. No one ever said that Solous was infallible. Maybe Solous just plain doesn't know that the Jedi are hunting Jacen now. Thus, Thyron could just...track P'Do to the Grey's Flight, run into the crew as they're fighting, and realize that P'do is trying to kill Jacen, not train him. ...and then, since he's just evil, not stupid, he could change targets. :) :) :)

If Thyron is going to be involved, I'd like all of us to coreograph the scene beforehand. With all due respect, TMM embarrassed Thyron the last time they met. First, he buried the poor Sith--literally, under a slab of rock--then, the next time Thyron saw him, he just hovered there and took all that the assassin could dish out. A character like Thyron shouldn't be any too happy about that. I'd like to arrange it so that Thyron is a lot meaner the next time they meet. At the very least, I would think that Thyron would want to have a weapon that will do more than just shake TMM up a little.

BTW, you're doing fine, and I'm not the end-all and be-all.

I don't quite think this is Jacen's final battle as it is. He will be ready for P'do, and is likely to defeat him. The older man has already lost once before, and is still recovering, so he'll be at a huge disadvantage. But who knows... until I write it, anything could happen.

If no one intervenes, P'do is likely to die. But then again, I don't think Shasta can sit by idly. Maybe Thyron tries to use this to turn her to the dark side? That would be a good twist...

Ok... we'll work with the ship.

In other words... to sum this up... this is probably the Jedi's final battle.

Certainly, P'do; possibly, Shasta. If she tries to intervene, though, she'll be crossing swords with TMM and Liam and Jacen, and I'm not sure she'll be dumb enough to try that.

BTW, does it matter that someone's got the com lines tapped? I mean, TMM has put a custom scramble on the communicators (think "Die Hard II"). Without a scramble key, anybody listening in would be pretty much sunk anyway.

I just made the post to get the last plot twist with Solous &Co. going.

Solous can now credibly offer Jacen a share of Ultimate, Unlimited Power in return for his services.

You think he's gonna switch sides when the time comes? :) :) :)

Dastardly Stench']OK...but Liam, TMM and Jacen are using private radios... :) :) :)

Doesn't mean the comm units couldn't have been tapped so that they send everything that is said with in earshot of them...

So...in that case, maybe Jacen could do something like, oh...

TURN THEM OFF...?

It ain't rocket science.

BTW, I think the next poster should be either DMG or Krey. HINT HINT. NUDGE NUDGE. WINK WINK. :) :) :)

Ok... I'll do that in my next post. After Krey or DMG, I'll post Jacen finding and disabling the bug... maybe with a little drama. Then fixing a few more controls, and finally powering up what's left of the ship.

Then I'll RP Shasta and P'do arriving on the ship... I'm guessing uncontested up to that point.

Maybe Jacen goes off to find TMM (if TMM asks him to rendevous once the ship is fixed) and runs into the two Jedi, then TMM actually finds them all, and delivers his speech. Maybe Liam shows up too, when he feels the Jedi aboard and a confrontation taking place.

Sorry if I'm planning too far ahead, but this seems like a good way to go. It might be cool for the battle to start in the hangar, and move all the way through the ship.

I like the plan in general, except that I think that it makes more sense for Jacen to remain on the bridge. That's where the bug is most likely to be, and that's where someone like Liam would want someone with the engineering savvy of TMM to go to fix the control consoles--or, in this case, pronounce them beyond hope. :) :) :)

So...either Liam or Jacen should tell TMM to go to the bridge and see what can be fixed.

I also think that it makes sense for the Jedi to contact the group. After all, they were working together until recently, and the Jedi, with a non-violence ethic of their own, would give the group an opportunity to avoid conflict. Perhaps TMM--and Liam--could meet the Jedi on the bridge, and Jenghis could serve to keep them all in contact. Since the Grey's Flight isn't in much shape to put up a fight anyway, there isn't much point in resisting the Jedi as they march through the ship. The best way to slow them down, in fact, would be to make them wait while their ships are fitted with docking modules--or while one is put on one of Grey's Flight's external hatches. :) :) :)

BTW, anybody put any thought into how they're going to get onboard? :) :)
:)

Agreed. Jacen will get rid of the bug, try to fix a few more things, then call for help from TMM. The Jedi will contact the Brain Jar and Jenghis may try to divert them, but it won't help. The Jedi will use their personal starfighter to get aboard (a two seater), the exact same way Jacen did. The ship they are on now will use tractor beams to pull their fighter in.

Once there, they will arrange to meet Liam and TMM on the bridge. Maybe Jacen lurks in the back and watches, while the Jedi demand that Jacen be turned over for execution. Then maybe Jacen reveals himself and TMM talks the two into a one-on-one duel.

The comm units could have been tapped so that they are basically just listening devices.


Chill out, I am in the middle of Finals.

Sorry, dude. Just want to get on with it. Hope you ace 'em all. :) :) :)

Dastardly Stench']Hope you ace 'em all. :) :) :)

Impossible :p :p

Impossible :p :p

Not my problem. :p :p

My problem is getting either Krey or Gen to make the post that each has got to make...Gen has to post the arrival of the Jedi and Krey has to post the arrival of Thyron.

HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK... :) :) :)

I should be able to post today sometime.

ok... Jedi post coming up.

Agh.... I will try to get it up before I go to sleep. (Rather than when I am asleep...?)

Thanks.

Was starting to get a little concerned for the thread.

Agh.... I will try to get it up before I go to sleep. (Rather than when I am asleep...?)

I suck.

Why would you write that?

Besides, I never could understand why it is considered debasing to have a skill that, in many a woman (or, if we include its converse, many a man), is quite in demand... :) :) :)

Dastardly Stench']Why would you write that?

Because I always say that I will post by a certain time, and I never do it.

(I might not even do it tonight - I just got back from a party and am dead tired)
(And tomorrow I have to study for my last two finals...)

Sounds to me like you've got your priorities pretty much in order. :) :) :)

Just as long as the thread doesn't die, I don't have a problem.

Would appreciate it if you could get Liam to the bridge to attend HIS little party, but...if not, I'll just whip up a post in a couple of days where TMM starts a conversation with P'do et al with Liam en route.

:) :) :)

Don't worry, it won't die.

I will be done with finals Wednesday and then free for about a week and a half.

Good. The story line is SO close to running its course!

Dastardly Stench']Good. The story line is SO close to running its course!

Eeek! I shall try to get a post up today, but I am studying for my SAT IIs which are tomorrow. After that, I am really on summer vacation.

Speaking as someone who scored 1320 on his SAT's, I must warn you that I could never understand if you would do something as stupid as letting your IRL stuff take priority over the valuable stuff like RPing. ;)

(By "running its course," I meant "reaching a successful conclusion," not "thread dieing.")

Heh. I am going for the big 24, plus a couple of 8s.

Good luck. :) :) :)

Dastardly Stench']Good luck. :) :) :)

Sorry I haven't posted... brother's graduation and all.

Besides, it might be bad luck to post on June 6, 2006--

Hey guys.

It seems that I won;t have internet until August. I thought I might be able to cotinue in a few RPs, but now I realize I can't... until August. So you can either wait for me, or just NPC Jacen until I get back.

Thanks! And good RPing with you all... hope this will be kicking and going when I get back.

Eeek. Still haven't posted, a weird guy is posting Darth Twinkie, Geneticon has lost his internet access, and I am going around posting the following:

Just a heads up guys, I will be leaving Saturday. While I will be back the following Saturday, I will probably be extremely tired, and then Sunday is Father's Day. So I might not post again until that Monday, but then I will be leaving again Thursday and be gone until July 5th.

I think I'm just going to make one quick post to end the thing before it dies.

There. It's done. Corny ending but a happy one.

THE END.

I am really sorry DS (and everyone else). These last few weeks (and future ones) have gotten really hectic and I haven't found time to read long posts or make some of my own.

Sorry this kind of died (unless you want to start it up again in early July).

You're not the only member of the team who ran out of time.

I couldn't even raise Krey. (Nobody seems to have noticed that his character was missing from my "end it quick" post.)

I think that the story's complete enough the way it is. I'm going to find other sims.

Okay. Well, sorry again, but I see this is the end (and I still haven't read it). Oh well... it was fun RPing.
