Game Night 6/15 - Part Deux

Our heroes started the night off in a bad way - Beaker with a gun to the back of his neck and Grarwarr unconcious - both in the Magellan (Enterprise). Taloe and R2 in the Y-wing, and Mater Dee, Joruss, and Bar Bar all stacked onto the Swoop.

"Complying" with the orders from the female holding the gun to his neck, Beaker started off towards the Jedi Temple. Bar Bar dutifully started the mayhem by force moving Mater Dee to the airlock of the Enterprise, and suspending him in mid-air. Mater Dee took advantage of the situation to enter the ship. He was greeted by Grarwarr's unconscious body.

Beaker and his assailant both noticed the airlock door open. The assailent acted first by trying to stun Beaker with her Blaster. Beaker shrugged of the stun attacks, and decided the situation would better suit the party if gravity to the ship was off, the ship was upside down, and the cargo bay doors were open. All these things were accomplished, to the dismay of his stun weapon challenged "co-pilot", and everyone else on the ship.

Not to be outdone in the creative flying department, Taloe had R2 bring the Y-wing over to the cargo bay, and she used her grappling gun to secure a cable and lept in.

And certainly not to be outdone, Bar Bar used the force to move the swoop bike completely into the cargo bay, past Taloe.

Seeing that now everyone was aboard, Beaker righted the ship, and the search for the intruder was on.

The heroes divided into small groups (parties of one) and started searching the ship. Through the use of the force by Bar Bar, and the alien Ssirrukk sensor detector by Mater Dee, a being was located in the ships sick bay. When party members converged they found a manacled and unconscious McQueen. However, after using the sensors in the sickbay to scan the being, they found that it was an alien, not McQueen. She was immediately bound - again - and Grarwarr stood guard over her.

While this search was proceeding, the ship suffered multiple missle stikes while nearing the Jedi Temple, and the party decided being in orbit was the better part of valor.

As soon as they reached orbit, a comm signal from the planet was received. Once again efforts to negotiate a swap of McQueen for the holocron ensued, however the party was in a much more favorable position, and decidedly more cautious.

The agreement as it stands now, is for all of Blackholes personnel to leave the jedi temple. The only person remaining will be McQueen. The party has agreed to leave behind the holocron (or some facsimile - exploding or not). Blackholes representative has asked only that the party wait for 24 hours, to give them time to set up a suitable base to keep them safe from the elements.

Until next time....
