Following the relief of Kalin, Jedi Knights Mavis Palifax, a Miralukan, and Jedidah, a Wookiee, have returned to Coruscant. With them have also come their Muun prisoners managers - and - and Director Toon Gleen.
Briefing
Captured director Toon Gleen and two
Muun managers
Commodore Grathpus and the unknown
dark jedi Ithorian escaped
Rotinga Hutt, a son of Jabba’s, has
arrived in Coruscant with an ultimatum for the release of the three Muun
prisoners, Jabba must have a large amount of money invested in these particular
managers’ folders. He is demanding their release within the hour and is ready
to offer… more persuasive arguments if we deny his request.
Currently all the information we have
been able to extract from them is the name of the rogue Ithorian, Grancar Noss,
and a vague outline of the separatist forces involved in the attack on Kalin.
Mas Amedda, Rotinga Hutt, the
Ithorian Senator, and the Bothan Senator are available for you to speak to at
anytime, aswell as Jedi Knight Shark Jenks, your contact with the Jedi council
The jedi are in charge of investigating the dark jedi from kalin
The Jedi are given 5 minutes before Rotinga arrives
They interrogate the Muuns, they find out the identity of Grancar Noss
Rotinga arrives, he threatens them to release the Muuns or he will block ports to the republic
Mas Amedda says he is unlikely to do so, they refuse, Rotinga threatens further action, they want to ignore him, but Amedda is concerned, so they decide to take a few more minutes to interrogate the Muuns and then release them to Rotinga.
They find out from Toon Gleen that Grancar Noss is headed to Beth Kantor.
then they decide to release the Muuns, but just then the Muun directors are shot
they take shelter and some of the senate guard fire back and a few more are shot, but they manage to protect Gleen.
Rotinga looks a bit put out - the Jedi order his detention under suspicion of murder -
Amedda warns them of the consequences that will follow this, and says they can only detain him for one hour
The jedi take 10 senate commandos on a search of the nearby area.
they decide to split up to scour the area
Jedidah runs into an Ubese with a sniper rifle and force blasts him into a Togorian who kills the ubese with his force pike.
Jedidah fights the Togorian and kills him, another Togorian attacks him and the nearby Senate commandos take him prisoner
elsewhere three senate commandos come across an assassin droid with Bothan writing on him, who throws a grenade at them, killing two before the other shoots him.
elsewhere three senate commandos come across a Togorian, attempt to arrest him and are all killed
they make their way to a nearby night club full of death strickers. there they see a Bothan assassin, an Ubese and a bounty hunter droid, along with a couple of Togorians.
the assassin droid attacks them and they kill him.
but as the crowd rush for the door Jedidah has to decide whether to apprehend the Bothan assassin or the other Ubese assassin. He chooses the Ubese.
They take their prioners back for questioning, while the commandos bring all the bodies for assessment
Using a jedi mind trick the Ubese assassin says he was hired to silence the Muuns before delicate information was revealed. He claims he was hired by a Skakoan in Rotinga's court.
The Togorian is more immune to mind tricks but tells them he is a bodyguard working to protect a Bothan spy operating in the vicinity. He claims his master was sent to stop the Ubese.
The jedi go to interrogate Rotinga's Skakoan translator - Mas Amedda is very worried at keeping him so long
Despite a jedi mind trick, the Skakoan denies hiring ubese assassins
the jedi return to their priosners to find the Ubese has been shot. The Togorian is released
The Bothan senator denies any Bothan spynet operations in the vicinity
Instructions from the Jedi council will come.
The Ithorian senator has been appointed ambassador for his people to the
Hutts, and will be travelling back with Rotinga Hutt to Hutt space, via Beth
Kantor.
He is very worried that there is a threat on his life, and so wants the
protection of the Republic and the Hutts while in neutral space. The Republic
and Hutts have agreed that he will be protected by Jedi until Beth Kantor, and
the Hutts following.Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to investigate on Beth Kantor.
You may take whatever extra support you think is necessary. A unit of ARC troopers is at your disposal, however these may gather suspicion and may also be unwelcome to the Hutts. Senate Commandos are also available and may be more appropriate to a diplomatic mission of this nature. Support may be useful if things turn nasty in Beth Kantor, though they may attract attention. The final decision is up to your discretion
Shark Jenks promises reinforcements within an hour
The Jedi decide to take 10 senate guardsmen in ceremonial dress as escort for the ambassador
landing on Beth Kantor, Rotinga heads to the nearby bar with the Skakoan, The jedi send their astromech droids to keep watch over Rotinga
They decide to use the ithorian ambassador as bait for his assassin, to draw attention to themselves they take him on a parade with all the guardsmen down the nearest street
Down the first street, they see a grenade fly out the window towards them. Mavis forces it back through the window it came out of and it detonates in the building.
The jedi go to investigate, sending the senate guardsmen and the ambassador to the bar
inside the blown out building they find the burnt remains of an assassin droid.
They decide to split up
bumping into a Chevin Jedidah ask him whats going on and get directions to the night club, however, he misunderstand his directions and end up in the pharmacy over the road.
The astromech reported that the Skakoan had disappeared from the bar, so Mavis went to investigate
Jedidah bumps into a dark robed female and they hit it off badly almost fighting, until he lets her go.
Mavis finds the Skakoan and overhears him talking to a Whippid telling him to come and kill the Ithorian
Mavis follows the Skakoan back towards the bar - she tells the Senate guards to remove the Ithorian and tell Rotinga that he is going to the pharmacy building. (he is instead ordered back to the ship)
heading back to the nighclub, Mavis runs into the robed female. there is a stand off, after Mavis had heard Jedidahs report, and the two draw lightsabres, but the woman's is blue. They stand down, Mavis finds out she is called Theosidia and is working with the Bothan spynet on this planet, and investigating them for the supreme chancellor. they depart
In the nightclub Jedidah observes lots of Togorians, a couple of Bothans, several assassin droids, the Skokoan and another whippid
Mavis joins him on the nightclub roof.
Seeing some figures enter the pharmacy, Jedidah jumps in and attacks, crushing an assassin droid and fighting the Whipid. A grenade suddenly detonates inside the pharmacy, jedidah jumps out of the way just in time
the nighclubbers pour out of the club into the burnt out street outside the pharmacy, several Togorians together with a Bothan start driving the crowd down a side alley
Jedidah fights and kills a Togorian, the Bothans take the two jedi prisoner (they take the jedis lightsabres)
however they are rescued by Theosidia, Jedidah jumps up on the nightclub roof
suddenly five shapes emrge from the darkness at the top of the street
The Jedi receive word form their astromechs that Rotinga has left the bar. they return to the space port.
Rotinga tells her his plans
He orders her to surrender the Ithorian ambassador, and to tell her men to get off the ship and let her on. She refuses.
Three doridekas are released on the ship. Two of the senate guardsmen are killed, but they bravely hold the ship.
Mavis suddenly attacks the battle droids, killing four security droids, the Skokoan and the whippid, using his force spear to hold Rotinga hostage and force the doridekas to back down.
She then orders the senate guardsmen to leave with the ambassador
Rotinga is furious
They are surrounded by Bodyguard droids and captured by Grancar Noss, who finds out they are here because of Rotinga and the ambassador. He leaves promising to kill them later.
They are rescued by the Bothans.
Shark Jenks arrives with his single star destroyer, promising more. The jedi ask him to land all his ground forces in pods and gunships while he engages the large separatist fleet with all his air power so as to protect their landing.
The Bothans take them to another part of the town as the separatist forces are beginning to occupy it.
the bothans give them their lightsabres back, they go searching for Grancar Noss
They find Grancar Noss interrogating Rotinga Hutt. Grancar Noss kills him and disappears.
In another part of town they find Theosidia again, she and they go hunting for Grancar Noss
Returning to the Bothan base, they find all the Bothans and Togorians killed by lightsabres - they don't know by whom
the jedi continue their search
The clone forces arrive safely, tanks and UTATs and ATSTs and Galactic Marines, to attack the Seperatist positions from the snowy planet
two squads of ARC troopers are dropped behind lines
To the rear of the right road the Arc troopers landed in an attempt to blow up the Octuptarras. They landed a few heavy blows, however an attack by Hailfire droids wiped out the first squad, but was stopped by the heavy trooper of the second. The sniper continued to fire upon the Octuptarras but caused only minor damage.
however a host of super battle droids had arrived to attack the Arc troopers
the UTATs took down the last Octuptarra.
With more star destroyers appearing to destroy the separatist fleet and land forces, the day was won for the republic
As he beat her back again, he again turned tail and fled, taking a ship from the space port.
Grancar Noss had fled. But the Ithorian ambassador was safe and Beth Kantor had been secured against the Seperatists, to stop them using it as a base to attack Coruscant
Rotinga and the Bothan spies were all dead, and Theosidia had disappeared.
The search for Grancar Noss contineud
