Star Wars D20 Revised Session 10

Fra'll, Terrance and I are in the shuttle on our way to the surface of Korriban.  Initial scans report that there is no technology on the planet.  Rumors say that the planet is dead.  When we get closer to the planet, I am able to see the force, swirling around the planet like the swirls of an oily bubble.  When we get inside the planets atmosphere, we notice a flock of birds the size of pterodactyls.  Coming in vertically because of a dust storm with gigantic lightning bolts.  We level out at the last second and head for a valley between two peaks.  The peaks are giant statues carved into the mountainside depicting robed figures with Sith battlemasks on and are wielding unlit lightsabers.  Strange markings decorate these gargantuan stone carvings.  The walls of the valley are approximately 60 meters tall.  We had to rotate the ship to a vertical position in order to leave at the end of the valley, bank left and set down.  The ship's readings say one cave entrance in front of us and three cave entrances on the right.  We leave the ship and head for the one cave entrance directly in front of us.  Inside, the cave is pitch black.  Terrance pulls out a glow rod and calls the cave a 'tomb.'  We do see three sarcophagi with the same carvings as the statues outside.  We follow the wall to the left, but on the wall are murals.
"When in doubt, always go left."
Tomb inside cave entrance.

The first mural depicts a battle scene with blasters, droids, Siths and Jedi.  It extends around the corner.  The scene is huge and takes up three wall spaces.  I refer to this mural as one, two and three.  The next mural shows two prominent figures, one Sith and one Jedi.  I say that this mural is mural number four because it comes right after one, two and three.  Mural five and six depict a space battle with a X-wing and a Sith fighter.  Mural seven is a huge depiction of the planet of Korriban.

When we were in front of mural four I became incredibly sleepy and passed out.

When I awoke, Terrance looked like he just woke up as well, I asked Fra'll why he's whispering.  He motions toward the far corner and I look.  I see a little girl that looks exactly like my Master's daughter.  She is just staring into the corner.  A little while later, a young boy comes out and stares forward.  The little girl lit a torch that lit all the other torches around the room before he emerged.  The young boy opens the coffin in front of him and a older human girl gets out.  My Master's daughter look-alike opens the coffin perpendicular to the one the young human boy opened and another older human boy gets out.  Then they all leave down the corridor where the two had originally come from.

We started searching for triangle pieces inside the coffins.  Inside coffin one was a skeleton, the second coffin contained a young Rodian boy who I thought was dead, but Fra'll said he was breathing shallowly.  The third coffin had a skeleton and a triangle piece that radiated the force.  The fourth coffin had a young Twi'lek girl still breathing inside.

Behind the mural of a tomb, with three Sith statues on either side was a secret entrance.  On closer inspection, the statues could have their fronts removed and behind the facade were Jedi statues instead of Sith which radiated the light side of the force.  The statue next to the secret entrance had a keypad.  I entered 'hello', 'open', and finally 'ghost in the machine' like it was written before.  The secret door opened and a light inside turned on illuminating the completely metal hallway.  We move forward and the light follows our movement.  We get to the end of the hallway and the entrance closes behind us and the room in front of us lights up.  Inside, there are two coffins.  The first coffin has a white force crystal inside with dancing white light inside of the crystal.  The second coffin contains a black force crystal with dark light dancing inside.  I take the crystals.  We leave the same way we came in after seeing that there is no other way to leave.  There is a keypad by the entrance and use it to open the door and exit the hallway.

We then proceed to find where the four individuals had gone to.  We check the other two coffins before departing, but they are empty.  We enter a carved in stone hallway and follow it carefully.  We come to the entrance of a cavern that has a spiral ramp that goes down about forty or fifty meters.  There is a big guy walking around and we notice the three of the four people we saw earlier are holding the remaining triangles we need while my Master's daughter, which by this time I'm pretty sure it is actually her, is holding onto four lightsabers.  The big guy suddenly chops off the head of the little boy.  I start running down the ramp thinking to stop this profane ritual.  The big guy notices us and he uses fear on us, but too soon.  I continue down while Terrance and Fra'll make their way down as well since the big guy is out of range.  The big guy continues the ritual and chops the head off of the other boy and girl until my Master's daughter is the only one left.  By the time I get down there he is already going towards the little girl.  I step in between them and confront him.  He is a tough opponent and eventually he falls.  He stands back up again and in the process, I chop his head off.  We take the triangles and the lightsabers including the big guy's which makes five all together.  The little girl seems confused, but she follows orders.  I sense nothing but good in her.  Her eyes are glazed over.  On our way out, we save the two that were still in the coffins, the Rodian boy and the Twi'lek girl.
Cavern inside the tomb.

When we leave the entrance to the cave we hear laughter.

"You pathetic mortals, you have not stopped me, the Sith empire will rule again and we will meet again."

The entrance closes.  Fra'll says,"There is more than one of them."  All the tomb entrances close.  The dust storm is about to hit, so we climb aboard the shuttle and wait till it is over.  During this time I hide the five lightsabers in the cargo hold.

This is the end of session 10.  Come back and read Session 11 coming soon.  Until then, safe gaming and have fun.
