Long Ago and Far Away (FT)

"The Invidious is gone by now. We have one more star map to find. It's on Korriban. It's smack dab in the middle of Sith territory."

"Perhaps we can sneak through?"

"I doubt it. Still, from what I've heard, they are accepting people for training as Sith. Perhaps if we pretended to be interested."

"Is that wise?" Asurmen asks.

"Is there anything else we can do?"

"Fight," Asurmen asserts. Straightforward, if imprudent!

Hagen says, "Oh, yes, our little cargo freighter could definitely take on the entire academy of the Sith empire and walk away. I see no flaw in that plan."

"Mmm, I still think we should sneak through. I think we're too high profile to pass for students interested in Sith training."

"We don't have a cloak for the ship. Sneaking through will be difficult."

"Can't we just make a series of small short jumps across their territory?"

He just raises an eyebrow. "That would get us to the star map there how?"

(OOC: Yeah, it's a big plot hole in the original game.)

"Hmph. I still think the idea of disguising ourselves is ludicrous."

"Steal map," Asurmen suggests.

"We need to get to the map in the first place."

"It will be so audacious they won't expect it."

"Pff. If we wanted to be audacious, we would dress up as Sith mascots. We don't live in some cheap comedy holofilm from Old Earth."

"Most things unexpected are unexpected for a good reason," Asurmen puts in.

"Mascots? Whatever." He thinks for a moment. "Do you remember where the star map was when you found it the first time around?"

"Mmm, I'm not sure. I think it was in the ruins on the same planet as the Enclave."

"Hmm. No, we already got that one. Think."

(OOC: Do you want to just go on and skip to the final battle? This is getting tedious.)

(OOC: Yeah, I barely know what I'm doing at this point :/ )

Light side stuff is done on Korriban (convincing some asshole torturing a bunch of people isn't worth his time, redeeming one of the Sith instructors, etc) and recovers the final Star Map. First notifying the Alliance, they make a jump to the system where the Star Forge is. When they arrive, they find a massive structure around the sun draining the sun and churning out warships. They also encounter a mysterious field that forces them to crash onto one of the planets.

Spoiler:

(OOC: Spoiler if you want to see video instead of my description.)
On the planet, they come across the Rakata, the original builders of the Star Forge and former masters of a vast empire spanning thousands of star systems split into two factions, a group of primitive tribals who believe technology is magic and the Elders, who remember everything, including their fall into the dark side of the Force with the Star Forge and eventual cut-off from it altogether. They choose to assist the Elders in ridding Lehon of the primitives, despite their initial distrust of the former Darth Lanius. The Elders then disable the energy field blocking access to the temple that crated the energy field that caused them to crash. When they reach the top of the temple, they encounter a figure in black robes. When it lowers its hood, it reveals itself to be a corrupted Corrina. After a brief duel from Luther's refusal to return to the dark side, she fled and the field was disabled just as the Allied and Sith fleets arrive. The combined Sith fleet numbers almost 10,000 warships, and steadily increasing, though the Allied fleet does scrounge together an impressive fleet in its own right from various independent systems. The Wave Rider makes its way past the defenses of the Star Forge and docks, fighting their way through the Star Forge and many Sith troops and acolytes, apprentices, and lords. As that is happening, Corrina begins using Battle Meditation against the Allied fleet, causing huge amounts of discoordination among them while causing the Sith fleet to act as one.

The party finally makes its way to the top of the Star Forge, where they meet Corrina and interrupt her Battle Meditation. Another duel later, and Corrina is defeated and absolutely broken. She starts screaming about how it's impossible that she was defeated. After appeals to the fact that she was very obviously crushing on Luther during the whole time they were together, they manage to redeem her, where she promptly goes about reversing Battle Meditation on the Sith.

They fight Morbus next. He puts most of the party in stasis, short of Hagen and Luther. After a muttering of "Oh, crap," Hagen then says, "Ring, engage protocol Sinestro 2813." His ring flies onto his finger, dresses him in a Sinestro Corps uniform, and says, "POWER LEVEL 9%." He moves to blast Morbus when he Force pulls a yellow Manhunter skull and drains the power from the ring. Hagen mutters, "Well, that was a waste saving it for this occasion." He tries to attack anyway. Morbus, dodging whatever Luther is throwing around, chucks his lightsaber at Hagen. Sparks fly as Hagen's left arm is cut off. He's thrown backwards as Morbus turns his attention back to Luther. He shoves him back, too, and leaves for a chamber in the Star Forge.

Johan quickly gets to his feet and tries to pursue Morbus. He really doesn't give up.

As Luther runs after him, Hagen picks his arm back up and tries to reattach it. He mutters, "Power ring has no indoor voice." Anyway, the door is sealed behind Johan. There are dozens of Jedi in tubes around him. Morbus blasts Luther with Force Lightning.

(OOC: Roll 2d10 to see if you block. You're trying to go for low rolls. You have to beat a 43. Pseudo-Dark Heresy rules, I guess.)
