for about 6 weeks now, we have been trying to get a new game off the ground, last night i felt like if we don't play, do something it just wouldn't ever happen so we did 2 encounters and a skill challange.

There was an issue on my part, I forgot the Hero minis, I had the bag of all of the villinas, but forgot the "Heroes" so the Jedi is the Elf Ranger, and the Nemodian solider is the Selkath Noble.

Since I have the time, I have done a "re-shoot" of the night which I will post later, but these are some of the Raw photos from the night.

where the clones on the players side? Would love some brief background on the scenario.

Betrayal

Ord Rodarn is a Rodian colony world in the Outer Rim. Originally settled as a military depot base centuries before by the Rodians to protect their interests in the area. In the current war it holds little true significant military value, however it is a stop on outer rim space supply lanes. The Separatists Alliance invaded and conquered the planet to disrupt Republic supply lines.

Unable to commit a full force to take back the world a clone commando squad with Jedi support was dispatched to train the local populace to fight back as a resistance force. After fighting as a guerilla force for several months in conjunction with a naval blockade, to keep the hyperspace lanes opens, the Separatist command on the planet have requested peace talks, in theory to negotiate a cease-fire.




The session begins with a representative of a neutral species, a Selkath, who has arrived to negotiate the cease-fire. While waiting for the republic representatives to arrive, two Jedi and clones, there is some small talk. Votch attempts to negotiate a bit of a deal for Kolto sales.


The Jedi and Clones arrive and some preliminary discussions occur. The Nemodian leaders press for more information on the rumored other Jedi, but Dosha is evasive saying he is the only Jedi. When the Nemodians are convinced that the leaders of the resistance are here, they spring their trap. The doors seal and the droids in the room demand their surrenders.




The Nemodians have betrayed them.

Dosha springs forward and slams the Nemodian leaders and two of the B2 droids into the wall with the force.


As everyone opens fire the Droids fire at the Jedi and clones, the clones take out some of the droids, and it is a general blaster fight. Everyone is firing at each other.

Votch targets the Nemodians in an effort to get them to stand down and force an end to the conflict.

Dosha moves about the room, trying to hurl droids around with the force, and cutting the remainder down with his lightsaber.

The remaining droids and clones fire at each other as reinforcements of droids enter from the hallway.


At the height of the battle, the sergeant of the clones steps back as a priority message comes in over his helmet com.

Votch forces the Nemodian commander to shut down the droids at plaster point, to the temple.

As the smoke and chaos settles, Dosha turns to survey the room, the Clones instead of relaxing their postures, are carrying on a quick conversation on their closed coms, as one they raise their rifles and fire at Dosha.

A few bolts hit Dosha in confusion he tries to figure out what s happening why the Clones have turned on him.

Votch gets the Nemodian to reactivate the droid targeting the Clones helping the Jedi

After a fierce battle, where the Jedi is wounded, they prevail in tacking out the Clones.


The Aftermath.
The Jedi and Selkath try to figure out what happened.
The Nemodian scans the info coming in from various battles around the war, in all of them, the Clones have turned on the Jedi in battle after battle across the galaxy the Jedi are shot down. Trying to reach the Jedi Temple, all Dosha can get is a message that says all Jedi should return to the temple. Unsure what they should do, they accept aid from the Nemodian and get medical treatment.
After a quick debate, Votch contacts the Republic cruiser in orbit and reports the cease-fire is in effect and inquires what has happened. The response they get is that the Jedi have committed treason. Votch reports the Jedi had died in the blaster fight, the ship sends down troops to occupy the planet and retrieve the body.

The Nemodian gives them a body of a resistance fighter, that they put in the Jedi robes, and Dosha puts on a clone trooper uniform and they leave the bunker, headed for the spaceport and a way of planet.

The spend most of the next day traveling through the jungles dodging patrols of clone troopers to arrive at the city, which is guarded by Republic forces.

How do they get away...

I had always ment to do a write up about what was going on, just between needing to pull a George Lucas inspired reshoot to add the right miniatures, and the other Game i run being last night I didn't get a chance to do the write up till today, then i had to crop the photos etc...

So here it is.

I plan on doing this for each game (well not reshoots...I hope not to always forget the good guys... )

As the session opens the Selkath Noble and the Rodian Jedi, disguised as a clone trooper are heading towards the city with the star port.

A little way away from the city the droids shut down.

The Selkath and Rodian get out and start walking toward the city. In the jungle the Selkath and Rodian get split up.

Unknown to the pair other eyes are watching them from the brush, a Gungan Scout and a Kel Dor Noble.

The two move towards the abandoned speeder, after a quick once over by each the Gungan heads off after the “clone trooper”, while the Kel Dor continues to mess with the droids. After not being able to get them to restart he dumps them from the speeder restarts it and steals it.

By this point the Rodian Jedi hiding as a Clone trooper and the Gungan have meet up in the bushes, they start to talk when they hear the sound of the land speeder stopping on the jungle path near them.



The Kel Dor tries to sneak up on them with his blasters drawn.
Unsure of the intentions of the Kel Dor the Gungan stands guard, as the Rodian pulls a heavy branch from a tree and slams it into the Keldor.

After getting caught sneaking up on them, he holsters his guns and the three meets to talk in the jungle.

After some quick introductions they notice the army trying to contact the clone the armor belonged to. The try to destroy the comlink, and ditch the armor, as they are moving out they hear the sound of speeder bikes approaching, and take cover.

Two Clone scouts approach and search the area for the armor.

The Jedi moves out and attacks, as does the Gungan, and the Keldor.


They quickly dispatch the Scouts, and all hop into the land speeder and point it towards town. They listen to the state of affairs on the holo net. The Empire has been formed in an announcement given at a full meeting of the Senate. The Jedi are traitors and shall be hunted down, it is the formation of the First galactic Empire….

They arrive outside the city, and see troopers guarding the entrance and searching vehicles.

The Kel Dor tries to bluff his way through, but gives and outrageous story, and the troopers try to bring him in to be questioned.

Three lead him away, and the rest begin to search the speeder.

Prompting the Jedi and Gungan to fight.

They put a decent showing for themselves, while the troopers gun down the Kel Dor.


After the Rodian Jedi and Gungan scout take out the rest of the troopers the nip into the city as the doors close shut…

Vach made it inside the city on his own, and was on the street when a series of explosions went off outside the gate. A scout on a speeder bike zips past as the alarms sound.

People begin to panic and wonder what is going on. In the confusion Vach hires a Wookiee in the crowd to serve as a bodyguard, and the two of them debate where to go as the city gates slam shut.

Dosha and Moppo are in the city gates, and are looking for a place to hide, the spot of in the distance stormtroopers approaching, as well as a local motioning towards them. As they head toward the Rodian local, Karro the Wookiee and Vach round the other corner and see Dosha and Moppo heading into cover. The local rodian accepts all of them in and hides them as Stormtroopers clear the street.
After a brief search of the area the troopers leave on a report that a Jedi has been spotted on the other side of the city.



The group is offered an IM6 medical droid and allowed to rest, then they debate how to get to the space port and off planet.

It is decided to head through the sewers in the early morning to avoid traveling through the streets and possibly encountering patrols or having to fight their way past the checkpoint at the spaceport.

They enter the sewers and narrowly avoid an attack by a Dianoga, but do encounter a series of patrol droids.



Dosha uses the force to attack, while the Karro punches them, jumping across the river of filth to attack the ones on the other side, while the rest fire or toss grenades at the droids. They are quickly dispatched, and they continue on through the sewers reaching the spaceport.

The emerge into the port, and clean up a bit, then Vach breakes into the computer network of the station. They find a list of likely ships to “borrow” and settle on one. They make their way through the by passing the first set of guards. They are however stymed by the ones at the actual hanger where the ship is. After a brief discussion a fight breaks out.

A fierce battle breaks out, blasters, grenades and a few uses of the force are used, Karro tosses some trooper about. Vach breaks into the ship and they all flee the hanger on the ship.




In space they plot a course and evade the pursing V-wings.

The session starts with the characters on board their recently purloined yacht. However not everything is perfect on the yacht, quarters are cramped, the environment is hot and humid, and the ships computer doesn’t like them.

As they wrestle with the computer they freshen up and search the ship in searching they find a Codru-ji who had snuck on board for his own reasons, he has in tow with him an Astromech. They plug the astromech into the computer and can at least get some info out of it other than insults. They decide to ride out the recall course and then try to get control once they stop.

The ship arrives at the edge of an asteroid field, as they hang in space the droid informs them there are a pair of Delta-7B Aethersprite fighters hanging in space as well a little ways off. The ships contact each other and it appears there are some Jedi onboard. The Astromech informs them there is a hanger nearby and takes the ships into the asteroid field.

The three ships land and a magnetic shield comes up, the hanger pressurizes. They are parked next to a much larger ship an Exodus Heavy courier. As the hanger fills with breathable air droids move out and start to tend to the ships.

The session starts with the players on the streets of Rwookrrorro a city on Kashyyk. Most of the city seems to be occupied by non wookiees, either salvagers or slavers, the only wookiees they see are in captivity. The PC’s have been conversing with a survivor of Order 66 Olee Starstone. She and a master arrived on the planet recently and have been trying to contact the other supposed Jedi in hiding on the planet. During their talks stormtroopers approached the area, the troopers are leading a captive wookiee, who was identified as Tarrful.
The Jedi head into the bar to talk to the master while Olee stays outside. Garret, Vach, and Karro stay outside in an effort to free the wookiees in captivity.

After talking with the Jedi in side a Rodian is convinced by Ki-Tu to free the wookiees outside, this attracts the attention of the stromtroopers, who stop and end up stunning him to stop him. The Troopers go and question the Gand the Rodian was with, who through a series of misunderstandings and attempts to free himself from Imperial custody eventually out the jedi, a fight ensues in which the Wookies are freed and many, many stormtroopers are killed, and some of the Trandoshan slavers.
As the Heroes flee the city the Master inside, draws his saber and gives them time to flee, and removes some witnesses…

The Heroes travel vertically down through the 7-layered deadly ecosystem.
Mainly a series of skill challenges where they have to navigate the various layers, with the idea of escaping the pursuing Imperials and Slavers and arrive safely in the lower levels.

Along they way they avoid Slavers and Imperial scouts, but do run into some of the local wild life. They are lured in by Syren plants, there is a stand of them with four plants, that daze the party, some of the plants are shot, some are ripped from the ground and tossed to a lower level with the force but out of the heroes way.


After the Syren plants are defeated they rest for a bit, however they have attracted the attention of some Katarn, however there is no confrontation, Vach uses some persuasion with the aide of the Force to calm the Katarn and they use them as mounts and continue down.


They eventually encounter a groups of wookiees who give them information, and a safe place to rest.


They head bellow and have one final encounter before they reach the floor, a Kkekkrrg Rro attacks. They are able to defeat it, and finally are able to reach the forest floor…

The Heroes have reached the forest floor and head out in the direction they think the Jedi are located.
For the most part the forest floor is dark and empty, the travel takes them towards the edge of the forest. Along the way the remnants of the clone wars appear out of the gloom, there are broken and wrecked droids and equipment scattering all around, much of it appears picked over and is the true refuse of the war. As the travel towards the edge of the forest they come across more and more that is in the process of being collected by the salvagers. At one such site they find an active salvage location some of the stuff has already been sorted. As they are picking through it the salvagers return.

They talk and find out the situation currently on the forest Floor.
Some head back to the salvager camp looking for specific items, a destroyer droid. Vach and Ki-Tu sneak around at the salvager base and locate the storage shed with the Drodika. And they steal it for Garret. Back at the salvage site more information is gathered and they do some searching of their own.

After they have traded with the salvagers they head back on the trail of the Jedi. As they approach the area they encounter a band of Trandoshan slavers attacking some wookiees, they free the wookiees, however the battle has attracted attention, out of the gloom appears the Jedi they have been looking for…

was the spider part of the adventure? awesome setups as usual. Love the salvage yard. All those pieces from that industrial set? Do you have mutiple tables that you use in a RPG night or do you take a break in between encounters to setup a new board. I GM at a friends house so i tend to use a few accessories and dungeon tiles instead. I use your ideas to compliment my home display ideas/solo gaming.

the spider was part of the adventure.
The Jedi (top left corner) has the Illusion Talent, and made an illusion of a Web Weaver (nasty nasty Kashyyk predator) attacking the camp, to cause a distraction. I had the spider mini around in case they encountered a web weaver (but they didn't so far encounter one) so he used it to represent his illusion. It's his hand in the photo.

Generally I have a board out that is the terrain for the area. Like the grass one there, a map, or some DF and quickly change things up during bathroom, or food breaks or while talking, and setting the scene.

A lot of the salavage is yes from those Pegusus/Russian plastic sets, some Star Wars toys, and resin cast items (the detroyed droids and dead clones) are dead body markers i made for terrain items.

I put up the other two weeks last night over on the DF boards but was making a test post on here for picture size (there are many more photos over at the DF boards).
