Unhappy Meals - This Toy Sucks

Our heroes blast into space and start their search for the asteroid of doom (AOD).

After a little searching and some calling on the force, a likely candidate emerged. It is a kilometer long, about half that around, and shaped like an egg. Interestingly, it is not spinning, and appears to have a kilometer or so area around it cleared of debris.

Closer inspection reveals two landing bays, one on either end of the long axis which prompts debate on how to enter the AOD. Plans to leave a shuttle in one bay, and then land in another are scrapped after a fierce debate and a game of Rock - Paper - Scissors. Eventually the party decides to land in one bay, and send R2 in the Y-wing to watch from the cover of a nearby asteroid.

The bay looks like it is roughly cut from the asteroid, incorporating some of the natural features. There is no power or atmosphere, and no one is there to greet them. After rigging power packs to open doors, the party discovers a secondary landing bay, some spare parts and fuel, and a control room. Grarwarr decides to power on the computer system, and finds a map of the landing bay, a map of a duplicate landing facility on the other end of the AOD, controls for some attitude jets that have been keeping the AOD stable, and a lot of wiped memory.

The party decided to explore the center of the AOD, and unloads their two swoop bikes from the ship. After proceeding about 70 meters down a natural and shaped tunnel they came to a large double door that has power. Passing through the door, they came to a cavern that has seven tunnel entrances. Each tunnel is approximately 6 meters across and they wind away and towards the center of the AOD. Each tunnel also has strong dark side emanations. after a brief discussion about each person going down a separate tunnel, the party decided to stay together and went down the center tunnel.

After traveling for a couple minutes, Joruss got a premonition of danger ahead, and had Beaker stop right before a huge Space Slugg took a bite out of their swoop bike. The party organized for battle just as another huge Space Slugg approached the back of the party from a connecting tunnel. Joruss started fighting the one behind the party, as Bar Bar and Zak tried fighting and throwing boomers at the one in front. Unfortunately, Bar Bar was swallowed whole by the one in front, and much to his surprise encountered one of the black suited fighters inside the Space Slugg ready to attack him.

The rest of the party, fearing that Bar Bar was lost for good this time were reassured when they heard the sound of two, then three thermal detonators going off inside the Space Slugg. Bar Bar had succeeded in creating a hole in the Space Slugg to escape through, but the armored attacker was still in his way.

Meanwhile the rest of the party was making good progress against the remaining Space Slugg when anoter appeared from another connecting tunnel. The first Space Slugg, suffering from severe indigestion started to move back down the tunnel. Bar Bar used the force to remove his attackers helmet, but had it grabbed back by his opponent. While the black armored trooper was worried about breathing, Bar Bar moved past him towards the hole in the Space Slugg caused by his thermal detonators which was starting to close.

Currently, the party is surrounded on three sides by Space Sluggs, although one is severly wounded and is moving away. Bar Bar is inside the one that is moving away, along with a helmet challenged trooper.
