Episode XXII (41) - It's best not to anger a Wookiee
Lawler, Zyll, Selenni, Darian, and Grawwg head off to Cathar to try to determine if there is a Krath presence there interfering with a civil war brewing on the planet.
Darian must drive through a nasty blockade surrounding the planet.
They meet up with the Cathar party on the planet, and begin to make arrangements to sneak into the Krath complex.
Episode XXII (42) - It's best not to anger a Wookiee
Because of a bit of meta-gaming by the GM, and becasue of some sneakiness that should have been seen coming a mile away, Lawler, Zyll and Selenni get captured by the Krath. Skids appears to have snuck along again, mostly just to notice the capture and report back to Darian. She then helps for awhile, and mysteriously disappears again. No one questions this.
Episode XXII (43) - It's best not to anger a Wookiee
Xieran, Rothar, Vash, m. Vrook, m. Zahr arrive. The others languish. Darian, Grawwg, and Skids push in through the bottom of the tower.
Episode XXII (44) - It's best not to anger a Wookiee
Vash, Vrook, Zahr, Rothar, and Xieran continue battling their way down the tower to the captives' level.
Xieran confronts another Krath "instructor" of his, and defeats him mightily, but not before he starts a Sith-style doomsday device. Zyll and Selenni, unarmed, defeat a pack of Cathar guards, and then help to disable the doomsday device.
Lawler, trapped in a Sith meditation chamber with a Sith Holocron, decides to use the meditation chamber's Force magnification effects to extend his assistance to Xieran, and the rest of the combatants outside the tower.
Darian arrives in convenient places at convenient times with convenient skill sets.
A deal must eventually be struck with the "personality" in the holocron to preserve it in the Jedi archives rather than destroying it, in return for instructions on how to safely disengage the doomsday device.
Episode XXII (40) - It's best not to anger a Wookiee
After returning from Verpine space, we arrive back at Coruscant to resume our normal duties and regroup before being given other assignments. I find that several Knights and Masters have been interviewing Selenni about various parts of Mandalorian culture. Knight Malak seems particularly concerned about the threat of Mandalorian invasion, and has been her most frequent visitor. She has been making good use of the down time while we were away to review the Jedi archives, and to practice her remote weapons control. She is become quite proficient, and will soon surpass me in her complex control of her weapon at a ranged distance.
I met with Turko Brien over lunch to catch up on what's happening back on Dantooine. He has also been offworld as of late on "business" and didn't really have much to relate. He was taking a break for awhile and keeping some distance from his normal associates - whether this was because of a disagreement, or to throw off trailers, I didn't ask. He's been staying around the temple for the day.
Rothar Dashing met this afternoon with the rest of his group of "concerned fellow Jedi." On one hand his whole focus is a bit laughable, so I'm not too concerned. His tendencies might be off-putting, but unless real action starts being made, there's nothing really to be concerned about that's more major than them just wasting time.
I walked in on the aftermath of a barfight in the cantina near the temple. It appears that some Trandoshans were harassing a being called a "Wookiee" ( I've heard Turko mention them once, but never seen one before) and trying to goad him into a fight. He's some kind of diplomat, and a commotion would have been embarrassing. It appears that Turko, somewhat inebriated, "offered" to help and exacerbated the situation. It's unclear how much of the story he was exaggerating, but he was unharmed. Zyll and Rothar kept things from involving the Wookiee diplomat. Later I assisted a Jedi Order protocol droid in compiling what may be the first real database of the spoken Wookiee language.
The diplomat arranged with the Senate to stop Trandoshan slaving of the Wookiee race, and the Senate appointed Czerka as administrators of a treaty to handle offworld Wookiee employment, and to conduct some limited research on the bottom level of the Wookiee's forest homeworld, where they will not disturb the natives' culture.
Though I thought this would be a good opporunity for Xieran to work in a non-dangerous matter that is crucial to the Republic, Rothar insisted that Xieran use today for extra piloting practice - in which Rothar somewhat suddenly has become interested.
