one of WHOSE children?

Episode 3.08: Kanter’s War, Chapter 14


Plot
| Jul 31, 2022


The heroes stand at the entrance to the ancient, and corrupted, research center. Once a place of great learning, it's now twisted and evil. There they confront the vile Concord but uncover more than they realize.






 
Atunda, 6 Helona, 12731

in a fancy looking B'omarr Research Chamber
under the area around Stiydear Estate

 
Clear thoughts to you.

— a B'omarr Monk in a spider mecha body

 
Maybe we don't have to fight these folks? Maybe we can enjoy some mutual problem-solving?

Whup, no, So'Zen is taking a solidly hostile starting point.

 
B'omarr: Do you seek enlightenment in the way of logic?

So'Zen: I seek enlightenment in the Force.

B'omarr: There is no force. There is only mechanical principles.

Me, writing notes on a fragment of a flimsiplast:

There is DEFINITELY force. Mass times acceleration. This person is not translating to and from Basic as well as we'd hoped.

It's momentum that's a bitch.

Me to Davish: I think there's a translation glitch going on, what've we got without using our datapads? All I can think of is to get Vance talking in Herglic.

Davish: Hm... they're talking logic... I think they believe we're here to join up?

 

 
Something from the next room, that we can't see, just imposed control on all these B'omarr in this room. They want a "Jedi Crystal", probably the one Vance has. Reese is trying to help them resist, but it's a nearly impossible slog.

Which means So'Zen and I should probably start trading off "aggro magnet" duties while the rest of the crew do stuff to reduce the overall threat level. Aerena and Vance and Davish are taking out the crystalline "Peer Review Chorus" tubes.

 

 
With the B'omarr defeated and detached from malicious control, we can patch them and ourselves up. We can restore our preparations for trouble. Aerena has freed all the bottled spirits from the "Peer Review Chorus".

Danar is still seeing trippy colors.

Hoo boy.

I think he'll be okay; he has the tools he needs. He has done good work so far in repulsing the Dark Side.

If he's okay, I imagine that Reese is also getting a grip on things.

 

 
In the next chamber are Larry, Moe, and Curly, the Three Stooges of Evil. Also they have a Mini-AT-ST Mecha.

They want keys.

 
You know, Goss is not going to believe any claims that there was a Mini-AT-ST Mecha. At all.

Also they have an energy-absorbing defense shield.
