Session 2: The Hunting Grounds
General Summary
Recap
Four disparate beings brought together by circumstance and a hutt’s greed, begin tracking their prey having found a crashed Sith shuttle that appeared to have contained a female that may be able to cast force lightening. After Agiyuk determined the occupant would be in the Hunting Grounds, they made their way there despite none having experience with the area. Oz did know it’s full of discarded tech, sewage and scrap. He let the others know they might find criminals, thrill seekers, glitching robots, animals, but also people went down there to find treasure in hutt’s tombs. Following the trail wasn’t difficult. Blood soaked the ground. Oz and Agiuk were able to feel echoes of a maelstrom of energy, fear, anger, and other emotions. The group followed these trails to the murky green tinged waters of the underground Hunting Grounds. Just inside they found some unlucky adventurer lost with two med packs and two breathers. It also contains a broken data pad with teeth marks, definitely not a good sign. Agi found an imprint of a knee and hand which led them into the labyrinth of the sewer.Inciting Incident
Quickly they find themselves at a dead end. Walls to ceiling littered with trash the most prominent being a beam had been clearly moved, it held another sense of fear, anger and energy. Soon after a Dianoga attacked. Tentacles grabbed out and snatched both Agi and Tal, trying to drag them under. Oz attacked the Dianoga with a red lightsaber. The monster took a beating, but finally relented when it saw it would not win. As they made their way, a bridge they dared to cross creaked and gave out. Kender began to fall, Oz tried to grab him and failed. Tal’Xalis used force pull and each of the others helped to get the Chironian out of the muck. Time and again the four came across dead ends and passed over rickety walkways facing more dangers. Agi defended himself with a small dagger that had a yellow light blade. Oz asked about it, but Agi gave a non-distinct answer. Oz also spoke with Kender who was feeling a little strange being the only non force wielder. Oz mentioned that people believe having mechanical parts and arms makes one less attuned to the force but Oz thought them to be wrong. Oz learned about the Force at the Sith Academy. This is something that interested Tal as he revealed he didn’t learn from any official source. Agi said he learned for fun. Soon after they found a Crimson Blade body, they were looking for “the asset” for “the next fight.” Kendel got on the radio and told them they didn’t find the asset.Rising Action
Agi felt the force presence even stronger than before and not long after they came across a small figure near a trash fire. She stood with a spear and started speaking a language most didn’t understand. Even then it took substantial effort for Oz to be able to communicate with the strange girl. Oz wasn’t sure it was his sister. He hadn’t seen her since she was a toddler. Oz spoke several words to her, mentioned names, told her he was no stranger to running from Arsland Vitallion. She seemed to recognize the name. There are unseen currents, movement that makes her hair stand on end. She told the group her name was Scorch. Oz asked if she recognized the name Sorsha or Osric. Each name brought back a memory within her. Agi saw these clearly from her, Arsland she felt pain and anger and saw a metal table along with a person holding a scalpel. With Sorsha, she remembers a chubby four-year-old and someone braiding her hair tightly. With the name Osric there is a sense of loneliness. All strong emotions. She starts to glow from the sternum, purplish light, force ligtning up and down her arms as she shakes her head saying “no.” She manages to control it, but not before Tal’Xalis notices it. Oz convinces her they mean no harm and she welcomes them to share her fire. Kender found several bugs that could trace them in his metallic arm and became hysterical over becoming the one hunted by the Hutt. Tal takes first watch seething over his mistakes, his filth, and the words and actions of those he has teamed up with.Rewards Granted
