Star Wars D20 Revised Session 2

I awoke early in the morning due to a sprinkler malfunction.  Then a voice over the intercom announces that they were getting the kinks out of the sprinkler system yet and that the sprinklers would be turned off soon.  After two hours of sprinklers, they finally were turned off, but then the intercom came alive again and said breakfast was being served in the common room.  I chose to go and get breakfast.  During breakfast it was announced that the Jedi would train and that the others would be in a briefing.  After breakfast, me and my master trained in one of the training rooms.  We broke for lunch.   Before I entered the common room for lunch, I was given a tablet with Fra'll's picture on it and I noticed him in the common room.  I approached him and introduced myself.  We then gathered our lunch in line and noticed my master chuckling and reading from a tablet before he went and talked to the same woman that I noticed earlier talking with recruits.  I think her name is Twilight.  When Fra'll and I left the common room, we returned our tablets/datapads and were given our first assignment.

Our first assignment was to go and get the ex-governor of Coruscant and bring him here to the Jedi Temple.  They told us a transport was waiting to take us to the governor's house.  We went outside the temple and found a taxi waiting.  Inside the taxi was a Wookie.  I asked him if I could help him and he replied in Shyriiwook that he was to be our transport and that it was his first time driving a taxi.  I got in and buckled myself in.  I suggested to Fra'll that he do the same.   We almost died a couple times on the way there.  Once, the Wookie merged into the wrong lane and a bus transport almost hit us.  The bus swerved at the last instant and the Wookie cursed him for going the wrong way.  The second time, he took a wrong turn and we ended up going through a building.  Fra'll threw up on me.  We ended our Wookie experience by exiting the taxi in front of one of the massive Starports.  The Wookie told us that we needed to go through the spaceport to get to the governor's abode.  I asked him for his frequency so I could contact him for our ride back after we completed our mission and he gave me his frequency to use with the comlink.  Fra'll took off in excitement, but was soon deterred by the security forces standing at the check-in.  We showed our IDs and were allowed to pass.  A little while later, I thought I noticed something following us, but I paid it no mind.  A short distance afterwords, I was hit with some kind of box from behind.  Fra'll got excited and I turned and saw a lightsaber user who seemed to be dark-sided in nature.  He was about twenty feet behind us.  Fra'll pulled his ion cannon and started firing while I pulled my lightsaber and went to meet him in melee.  Security droids were on their way.  He died pretty fast after I hit him with my lightsaber twice and Fra'll hit him once with his ion rifle; he did heal once.  He had a datapad and a lightsaber.  I used the comlink and informed my master to what had just transpired.  We had time to look at the tablet before my master arrived and noticed pictures of us getting out of the Wookie taxi about five minutes ago.  We dug a little further and noticed a lot of pictures of us before along with other pictures of almost everyone who was at the Jedi Temple along with some others.  It seemed that they were trying to use us to get to my master.

My master arrived along with a mysterious figure in white robes who had a voice equalizer so we couldn't tell if it was female or male from appearance or voice.  The white-robed figure told my master that we should continue on our mission.  So that is what we did.

We continued on to the governor's house, but when we arrived outside the spaceport we notice two turrets firing at anything that came close overhead.  Looked like some kind of scare tactic that the governor was trying to use in order to secure the governance of Coruscant again.  The path we chose had been setup strategically so that there was cover on either side of the walkway.  We were almost there when we were fired upon by guards in the two towers attached to the governor's house.  I noticed the front gate opening and decided to make a run for it.  By the time Fra'll and I arrived near the gate, we were under heavy fire from the two towers and the four guards who had come out of the gate.  We dispatched one quite quickly and we took cover behind the crates in front of us to heal.  While doing this, Fra'll noticed one of the crates said Danger: Explosives on it.  He opened the crate and found a fragmentation grenade.  He threw it at the other guards and we heard the tower guards talking and wondering if they had emptied the other crates.  They hadn't.  So the one explosion escalated into a larger explosion and when we looked again the gate was destroyed, the towers empty and a clear path through the gate was in front of us.  Apparently the crates that the gate guards were crouched behind weren't empty either.  We made our way forward and saw three of the guards limping into the house via the front door.  I notice some large windows and said we should go in through them.  Fra'll said that a person this paranoid would have them rigged so they wouldn't be safe.  A moment later, while I was contemplating this, Fra'll ran head first into the front door.  Not only did it give way, but unknown to us was that two of the guards from before were stationed inside and fired their blaster rifles at the door at the same time.  However, Fra'll hit the door with such force that it came off the hinges and he slid on it inside.  I drew my lightsaber and confronted the guards in melee.  I swung and missed and swung and missed.  He fired at me, but I got a swing in before he could pull the trigger and he was defeated.  The other guard stepped back from me and fired.  Fra'll then fired at him and I closed and swung my lightsaber.  He was also defeated.  Fra'll then searched the house while I healed my wounds.  I had taken quite a bit of damage.  Fra'll found a secret passage way, but it was rigged with a thermal detonator.  We searched the rest of the house.  We found nobody, but I found a handheld crate large enough to store weapons.  I placed the four blaster pistols, four blaster rifles and the seven power paks we found into the crate.  We had found eight power paks, but Fra'll grabbed one before we entered the house.  They windows were rigged with frag grenades, one on either side.  Fra'll had disabled one of them and he now hung two frag grenades from his belt with pride.  I used the comlink and told my master that we had found a secret passage and that it was trapped with a thermal detonator.  He said that they would send somebody.  After the person arrived, another person in white robes or the same person in white robes, we do not know, they disarmed the trap and the other trapped window.  Fra'll made a complaint about how the frag grenades and the thermal detonator were his.  The person in the white robes gave him a cred stick with 3000 credits and kept the grenades and the detonator.  We went back to the Jedi Temple with him and were told that until the governor was found, we were to wait on a ship in space.  Grab what you need and go, your transport is waiting in the garage under the Archive.  I gave Fra'll one of the blaster rifles and sold the rest of them and the four blaster pistols.  I received 2500 credits and transferred them to my cred stick.  We left on our transport.

We arrived on a starship in the orbit of Coruscant.  It was either a Corellian Corvette or a Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (not sure since the GM said corvette, but pointed to the picture of the escort frigate).  It is captained by a Twi'lek female.  We were on board for three days before we were told that the location of the governor was found.  Apparently, he is on Toydaria in Hutt space.  We set our hyperspace coordinates and we estimated that it would be a five day trip.  However, day 5 came and went along with day 6 and day 7.  We finally exited hyperspace since the coordinates were locked into the navi-computer on the seventh day.  We talked to the captain and apparently, the ship's navigation officer is missing.  She asked us to find him.  She described him as a Kel Dor and that his name is Torin Dol.  Fra'll and I went to visit his quarters and we unlocked his door after we received no answer from knocking.  The room was in disarray and it looked as if someone had packed a bag hastily.  Contacted the captain via the ship's intercom and told her what we had discovered.  She told us to head for the shuttle bay and keep looking.  We tracked him down near the shuttle bay, but he started to run.  We caught up with him and restrained him as best we could.  I then contacted the captain on my comlink and told her that we had found him.  Some security officers came and escorted Torin to the bridge.  The bag he had packed was emptied and we found a bomb inside.  We asked him to disable the bomb.  He said he couldn't with the binder restraints on.  We released him from the binders and he went in his pocket and pulled a remote, pointed it at the bomb and used the remote.  I thought he had disabled the bomb when I put him back into the binders, but then I heard the bomb beeping again.  Fra'll reached into Torin's pocket and pulled out the remote and a data disk.  I asked him why and he replied that he would rather die.  Quite dramatic.  The captain and the crew on the bridge disabled the bomb with a couple to seconds to spare, about 33 of them.  Torin was escorted to the Brigg and was told that we were in Wild Space and on our way back towards Toydaria.   We were told that the data disk Fra'll had recovered had a navi-computer virus and details on a meeting.

This is where we left off and hopefully will be back in one week.  I have a job interview on Friday and if I get this job, it will require 80% travel.  So until then, safe gaming and have fun.

Star Wars D20 Revised Session 1

Alright.  I know we have been playing AD&D for awhile and that game is still going strong.  All that is happening is that instead of every Tuesday it will be every other Tuesday and it will alternate with our new Star Wars D20 Revised game.  Jayson will be the Game Master for the Star Wars game and I will be the Dungeon Master for the AD&D game.  So, without giving a long introduction of everything, I will get to what actually happened in our first meeting for Star Wars.

October 11th, 2011

Step One: Character Creation

I have never played this edition, so I thought it best to wait for Jayson to show up in order to actually start, plus I didn't know which D20 Star Wars we were using, Core or Revised.  When he showed up, that was the first thing I asked him.  He said that we were using revised, but that the Core book had some interesting Prestige classes and that he would allow them.  I'm like cool, but I literally just got both books that day.  I asked him what I needed to do.   He said that I should roll 4d6, choose the highest three, re-roll 1s and 2s, and choose the best set of 6 out of the 3 sets.

Set 1          Set 2          Set 3
 10               14              17
 16               13              16
 14               17              15
 15               13              14
 13               16              12
 14               14              13

I chose set 3.  We could use the stats in any order.  I chose a Gungan for a race/species and they receive a +2 Con and a -2 Wis modifier.  So then my Gungan Jedi Guardian was selected.  I knew I wanted a Jedi, but I didn't know which one.  I selected the Guardian because of the +1 Base Attack Bonus (BAB) at first level.  So then my Gungan's stats looked like this:

Str:    17
Dex:  16
Con:  17
Int:    14
Wis:  11
Cha:  12

At this point, I didn't realise that all the force powers he could choose from were mostly Cha or Wis related.  Some were Con though.  I selected the Alter for the force training and selected Control for my first level feat.  Mostly so I can heal others and heal myself.  Better than medpacs anyways.

Being a Jedi Guardian I start with a lightsaber.  I also have proficiency with the groups Blaster Pistols and Simple Weapons.  I also chose to have a light blaster pistol, knife and quarterstaff.  I also received a utility belt and a comlink from my Master.  I also purchased a all-temperature cloak and a grappling spike launcher.

Step Two:  Backstory

My master found me on Naboo when I was young.  He trained me for years.  It was odd for me since my master is human.  He was in hiding since Jedi were being hunted, but since we both felt the disturbance in the force when the Emperor and Darth Vader both were eliminated, we traveled to Coruscant afterwords.  After we arrived, we headed straight for the Jedi Temple.

Step Three:  Introduction

Ever since I arrived on this planet all I've done is clean.  I was given a broom and a dustpan.  I cleaned the Jedi Temple til I couldn't clean anymore and then I cleaned it again.  Perseverance might be the lesson, but I am bored.  I want to go and explore, find things and tinker, maybe build a droid or fix a computer.  I need to learn to repair things though.

So I set out to explore, went up to see if my master was still in the council chamber discussing things.  I was stopped by a Wookie and a Cerean who said I couldn't go any farther up.  So I went down, saw that all doors leading pass the garage level were all security locked up.  Went up, trying to go outside, remembered that I shouldn't go outside alone, but in a group.  Stopped in main lobby and saw an Ewok, a Kel Dor and a Mon Calamari.  Asked the Mon Calamari if he wanted to go explore outside.  He said he had been waiting for someone to ask him.  On our way to the outside door, I heard the Ewok trying to sneak behind us and I waved him to join us.  When we arrived outside the temple, we had two directions to choose from.  Left or Right.  We went left and found ourselves in the diplomatic part of the city.  We stopped at a signpost and were trying to figure out where to go when a mysterious figure said go to your third left.  So we went to our third left and found ourselves outside the Galleria.  A pseudo-arcade shopping mall which went ten stories up and down from the entrance level and was quite huge (think Mall of America on each floor big).  The Ewok started talking, but I didn't understand him, but the Mon Calamari seemed to and I asked him what the Ewok had said.  He said that the Ewok had told him that Master Luke had gone to the Senate Building.  So that mysterious black-cloaked figure that I had seen around and masters bowing to was none other than Master Luke Skywalker.  How interesting I thought to myself.   While in the Galleria, I noticed a female Gungan and three child Gungan that called her Grandma, she was only a little older than my mother since the kids looked about 4, 5, and 6 respectively.  We met them in the water park that charged ten credits for the day.  I left and started looking in the Droid store.  After about 25 minutes, I received a hail on my comlink that said to get back to the temple soon.

When we arrived back at the temple, I saw a human woman talking with some Jedi and some other people who had arrived off of a transport.  When we walked inside, she told us that we would be leaving tomorrow and that we should prepare.  I asked her if we were to prepare for battle or for departure.  All she said was yes.  I asked if I would get to see my master before leaving.  She said that is where I should be headed now.  I went to my room, since that is the only place I knew and found a note saying that I should come below to the lightsaber training room.  The training rooms were above the Jedi library and below the Jedi housing.  The garage was below the Jedi library.  I reported to the training room and my master exhausted my so much that I couldn't move.  He floated me to my room and laid me on my bed.  The last thing he said to me was that the next mission should help me with my training.  And I slept.

This is where we called the night.  My character didn't meet Luis's character.  He has a Trandoshan Scout, but that is all I know.  His character arrived on the transport my character saw when he arrived back from the Galleria.  That is all I know.  Until next time, which will be this game, have fun and safe gaming.

AD&D 2nd Edition Revised Session 11

After moving on from the cemetery, we traveled towards the Temple of Gruumsh that we have on one of the maps we possess.  We arrived on the outskirts of the temple and I did a little scouting and found a village of orcs and the temple.  We decided to sneak in after Bram used the scroll of sending.  Through the scroll, we discovered that the mage was being held in the cave on the far side of the temple ruins and that there were some bad guys in there as well.  We snuck in hugging the wood palisade and made our way towards the cave where we encountered four Orog guards blocking the entrance of the cave.  While moving forward, a twig snapped under my foot and since they heard it, we were discovered.  We dispatched the four with ease.  We then proceeded into the cave, knowing that the ones inside were aware of our presence since one of the four guards grunted something inside alerting the other guards.

Temple of Gruumsh and Village of Bloody Skull

We made our way inside to see a cave with a 40 foot ceiling and nine iron cells, one with a large double door and one makeshift wooden shack with a door.  Since we knew that there were guards inside the cave, we thought they had gone into the shack and hid.  So we surrounded the entrance to the small shack and opened the door.  As soon as we did though, to cell doors clicked open and there were six other guards bearing down on us.  One of them shouting orders.  We fought them as best we could, however, I fell down twice, Bram fell down, and Nightwind died even after he consumed the whole potion of growth, but when his huge form fell, it knocked one into the fire and he burned alive.  Fortunately, his fall caused the one large cell that held the humans, the other cells held other demi-humans that were slaves, and the mage that we had encountered before noticed the door was unhinged and made his way out with two other humans.  The other two looked like fighters.  The mage made his way towards the shack while the other two tackled the one Orog while Ja'Lil battled the leader of their group.  There were only two left when the mage emerged and when he exited the shack he took out both the leader and the other Orog with a ring he possessed.  He raised Nightwind from the dead and healed me and Nightwind.  We then looted what we could find.  We are now leaving the cave hoping that Bram, who was healed by Ja'Lil, can cause a distraction with his wand of fire.

This is where we left off.  Until next time, good gaming and play safe.
