Star Wars D20 Revised Session 13

The cube on the door had letters on the 6x6 tiled face.  We solved the puzzle which was quite obscure by moving all the pieces off the face until nothing but white tiles shown.  The cube then slides into the door and causes a ripple effect like the door was made of water.  I hear several locks unlocking, then something powers down, then something distinctly different powers up.  The door is opening and the smell of rotting meat emanates from inside which makes me vomit.

After I calm myself down, I see 15 dead bodies in different states of decay from recently deceased to skeletal remains with five skeletons scattered around the room.  Each body has at least one lightsaber on them while some have two and some have the double-bladed.  A human size sarcophagi in the center of the room radiates dark-side force and chains wrapped tightly around it are seemingly attached to something below the floor.  I also see tripwires attached from the corners of the sarcophagi to the corners of the room and four different tripwires attached to really minuscule bars that go into the floor.  I also happened to notice that some of the dead bodies have thermal detonators either booby trapped or not I do not know.  On closer inspection, the robes the dead are wearing are very similar to the robes worn currently by Jedi; the robes seem an older style.

My master then contacts me via the holo-communicator and I explain to him where we are and what we found and how to get to us.  Fra'll points to the bodies and tells me that they are moving.  While watching I see a body move.  I hear my master descending the ladder.  Call my master on holo-com and ask for help while heading towards the ladder.  We round the corner, Fra'll a good couple meters in front of me and we run into my master, the white-robed figure and the two masters that brought us to these ruins.  I tell him that the bodies are moving.  He tells me that he sees two standing up.  I look behind me and see the two human looking Jedi-zombies just standing up.

(Somewhere when the DM was explaining the movement of the dead Jedi moving, I made the joke about the Jedi-zombies dancing the Macarena.  We all laughed pretty hard before continuing with the game.)

I realize that there is four masters while we were escorted by two.  Remember that my master and the white-robed figure weren't initially here.  They told me that they contacted my when they arrived above.  Apparently it took a long while to open the door.  The two of them were literally shoving me up the ladder along with the other two masters, Fra'll having already reached the top, and my master and the Lady in White stayed on the bottom with their lightsabers drawn.I get shoved out of the hole in the ground and notice more speeders and masters with padawans.

I hear a voice coming from the huge tree in the middle of the ruins and turn to see a glimmering ethereal robed figure inside the trunk of the tree.  Everyone notices the figure, even the non-force sensitives.  Most of the Jedi are bowing because they recognize the figure.  I then realize how light-side powerful he is and bow lower than all others on my knees.  He asks Fra'll and I directly why we didn't use the datapads from his ship and why we didn't see the warning on the door, but asked us why we woke him up in the first place.  We told him that using the datapads hadn't even occurred to us and we didn't know that there was a warning on the door and we didn't mean to wake him or even how we did it in the first place.

This is where we left off since we got sidetracked with talk of the World's largest Trivia contest coming up soon in Stevens Point, Wisconsin which is where we all live.  Anyways, until next time, safe gaming and have fun.
