Yesterday's session was very entertaining. The party made it back to Shais and decided to interrogate Khorban Thalcyon who is the king's brother. Khorban is wearing spreader bars that are attached to binders for his wrists and legs. He is attached to rings set in the floor and table in the interview room. Kiber and Horus stayed inside the observation room while Alan, Bartan, Zago, and Avin entered the interview room. Horus locked the observation room door behind them.

The group had cracked the security on the data pad that belonged to the Death Watch serial killer that proved that Alan didn't kill Khorban's son and daughter. Khorban musters up the force to use telekinesis that unlocks the binders holding him restrained. He launches himself at Alan. Alan pulls out his lightsaber and falls into a defensive posture. Khorban and Alan had a short conversation with Khorban screaming in pain to collapse onto the floor reeling in shock. Alan felt the force being cut from Khorban.

Jenijani jumps out of the vent above the table. She walks up to Khorban and says, "I forgive you." She heads to the door leading to the observation room and knocks. She is asked what she did and she tells the group that she cut Khorban off from the force.
Horus unlocks the door. Jenijani smiles at him. She tells him, "Hi Uncle Horus," then gives him a hug and skips out of the room into a hallway. Zago follows behind her to see how she's doing. He asks her if his camera droid can keep an eye on her. She agrees.

Zago heads back into the interview room. He takes a brain scan of Khorban to see if he's okay. He ask Alan if he could run a brain scan on him to compare. Alan agrees. The two of them head to the doctor's office.

Khorban is escorted back to his cell by Avin, Horus, Kiber, and Bartan. Bartan tells his brother that he believes the court will be lenient now that he's been rendered incapable of using the force.

When Kiber cracked the data pad earlier, the group finds out that Cora Phaas was a target of the serial killer. She also had a bounty placed on her by an unknown party. Avin and Horus discuss how to get the information from the bounty hunters guild on who ordered the hit. Horus is like naw I'm not going to be party to it.

Avin asks Kiber to hack into the bounty hunters guild who quickly agrees. During the hacking process, Kiber alerts the on duty system administrator of the intrusion and they run a series of counter hacks against each other. In the end, the sys admin has a critical failure that results in him getting kicked from the server. Kiber gets the data and logs out.

Horus gets a communication from the bounty hunter guild leader that informs him that one of Horus' associates had broke into the guild network and took data. As punishment the leader tells Horus that his next three jobs will have 75% of the payment to Horus deducted. Horus is furious and tells the leader no. In response, the leader tells Horus that Kiber has now got a 2.5 million credit bounty on his head and Horus is locked out of the contract. The contract is an open one where every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be gunning for him.

During Khorban's interrogation, he was asked about the Inquisitor and find out that she has a master that wasn't Vader or Palpatine. The name that came up from the cracked data pad was Bantu Fadah with his address being Theed, Naboo. The name Kiber got from the bounty hunters guild on the Cora Phaas contract was also Bantu Fada.

The session ended there.

Alienman, Ismaul, Ninjerk, JarlFrank, and Arrowgrab can add further to this from their character's perspective.

This sounds like fun.
Looking forward to see more of this campaign.
Also,will you include battles with dark jedi/sith? How do you tend to distribute Character Points? End of each game session or upon quest completion and such?

It's a blast. We've already had one lightsaber fight between the two padawans and dark jedi. I hand out experience at the end of each adventure.

Picking up from where we left off, Alienman decided to drop from the group. As such I had Kiber flee for his life to escape the 2.5 million credit bounty on his head.

The story shifted to Horus and dealing with his past. He begins to think about rebuilding his Mando clan and makes some inquiries as to who has been sending him Mandalorian armor pieces. He finds out from his investigation that the person is routing the shipments to the guild HQ and they all originate from Mandalore.

So the entire group decides to take a road trip. I asked them if they wanted to do this as an actual road trip or fast travel to Mandalore. They all chose to do the Star Wars Horus and Friends Road Trip. They take off to go to Corellia as that is where the first part of the journey takes them to. They decide to stop at The Lucky Hapan to visit Syren. Horus learns from Syren that his grandfather is alive and hiding on Mandalore. That's who has been sending him his armor pieces. He ends up getting a full suit of Heavy Commando Armor so he has an advantage when it comes to the Trial of Mandalore.

Bartan and Syren go on a date where both were extremely satisfied.

Zago and Jenijani go looking for a speeder bike for her. The salesman refuses to sell her the bike due to her age. Zago applauds her decision to not buy the bike and to save her money in her 2.5 million credit trust fund.

Avin goes to get drunk in the casino bar. He decides to call his former boss Cora Phaas. She and him exchange words where she calls him a variety of colorful names. She ends up hanging up on him. He declares that she is an asshole. :lol:

The next morning, the group all wakes up and prepare to get back to the freighter to go on the next leg of the journey. As they're in the foyer preparing to leave, Jenijani hands everyone a t-shirt she got from the casino gift shop. Horus, Bartan, and Zago all get one that says "I went to The Lucky Hapan and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt." She handed Avin a bright pink one that said, "Pretty Princess" to match hers. He refused even she offered him 15k credits to wear it.

Horus got a purple colored one, Zago was neon green, and Bartan's I don't remember the color.

Oh Horus got a foam finger to wear. All, but Avin wear their t-shirts on the next part of the journey.

Zago and Avin had a discussion about wearing the pink t-shirt where Zago put it on to show that men can wear pink just fine. After a few bit of words exchanged Zago just walks away from Avin.

The group leave the casino and drive back to the ship. They board with Avin being the pilot on this leg of the journey. He rolled astrogation just fine, but when it came to rolling for piloting he got a 1 on the wild die. The ship's hyperdrive motivator blows dumping the entire party into real space. Avin smacks his head onto the console in front him. Zago slides right into the garbage chute and trapped there by TA-4A. Everyone else managed to stay in their seat or on their feet if they're walking.

While Avin was down in engineering, Horus scans the area for anything and notices a ship that is painted all in psychedelic colors. He hails them and the party learns that there is a group of 25 mushroom cowboys on the other ship. They inform the group that they've been stranded here for 40 years and that they're originally from Alderan. Well the party breaks the bad news about what happened to Alderan to the 'shroom cowboys. They inquired about their Uncle Bail to find out that he's dead. They are told that their cousin Leia is still alive and she would be happy to see them.

The party offers to tow the cowboys to the nearest space station for repairs to which they agree.

The game ended at that point to pick up on the next leg.

Todays session was a short one due to people being late from real life reasons.

We decided to back date a bit where Horus got 22k of the Imperial POWs to join Clan Tal in his quest to become Mandalore. He worked out a payment plan to buy a battleship from JarlFrank's character. Alan ended up joining Clan Tal as a Mandalorian Jedi.

The party continued on their way to Iseno for repairs. Once there the mushroom cowboys were broke, so Bartan paid to repair their ship. He talked to Princess Leia and found out she's flat broke. He also found out that Bantu Fada is pulling the warlords together to keep the Empire from falling apart completely.

The game is permanently canceled due to certain players constantly canceling at the last minute. It was a fun run while it lasted.

The big bad of the story was Darth Jar Jar pulling the strings and trying to tighten his control over Shais Sector. If Horus managed to become Mandalore he could have allied with King Bartan to fight off the incoming Imperial assault for both sectors.
