As the sun set, Master Tau remarked, "We must remain on our guards tonight. Especially with the loss of our friendly Wookiee to that terrible accident, there are few we can still trust."
"Yes, but we must still protect first and foremost ourselves," noted Sapphiron. "Otherwise, our efforts would be in vain."
"An astute observation," replied Tau. The two Jedi set out for their watch of the night.
Darth Bodobol and Darth Seroim slithered through the dark city, looking for their target. Once again, they were striking out against a member of that stranded scientific expedition. If they were lucky, they might even gain an opportunity to strike out against the Jedi.
The two Lords of the Brotherhood approached the dwellings of their target. The sign outside the door read, "Barnes Noble, Temporary Residence." The Sith silently picked the lock, watched the door slide open, and entered.
Inside, a man lay sleeping in his bed. Although Lord Seroim preferred his kills to be more efficient, he recognized Bodobol's gift of drawing dark-side power from the suffering of others, and so conceded to her plan.
About forty-five minutes later, Bodobol was finally done killing Barnes Noble. The screams (muffled of course), had quieted down about ten minutes in, but Darth Seroim could feel the man's anguished pain through the Force. As Bodobol emerged from Barnes' bedroom, looking livelier than ever, Seroim felt the scientist's presence in the Force disappear.
The two Sith left the premises, and headed back for their hidden homes.
Sapphiron saw them first.
Two cloaked figures, emerging from the home where they had felt a slow and painful death occur. They did their best to remain inconspicuous, but the Jedi found them. They felt out through the Force, and felt the dark side, strong and powerful.
"Halt!" cried out Master Tau. "You are under arrest, Sith!"
The Sith only laughed, and charged at them as they ignited their lightsabers.
This fight was similar to the one they had in the forest, yet it felt somehow... different. The Sith felt more
powerful, as if something were fueling them that the Jedi did not have. And perhaps that was it. The Sith, fresh from a kill, were in their element. The Jedi, on the other hand, were exhausted from days of sleep deprivation, and had just felt a painful death through the Force.
Slowly, yet surely, the Sith began pushing the Jedi back. Saphh was the first to fall. A giant boulder, Force-thrown by one of the Sith, hit him in the back, and he crumpled. Tau valiantly tried to hold off the two Sith, but even he could not face against their raw power, particularly as his serenity was shattered by the facts of reality.
A slight misstep was all it took, and suddenly, Master Tau found both his arms missing. The Sith he had been dueling removed his—or was it her?— hood, and stared intently at his eyes—
go to sleep go to sleep let the darkness take you sleep sleep sleep SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP—Master Tau crumpled to the ground.
Barnes Noble the theoretical physicist,
a.k.a. Govindia, a local, has been killed by the Sith at night.
With the only alive players being the two Jedi and two Sith,
the Sith have won the game!The Jedi alive at the end of the game were:
@EVERYONE / Crushita Telcontar (a.k.a. Master Tau)
@Pengu (a.k.a. Padawan Sapphiron)
And congratulations to the Sith for their victory!
@aternox (a.k.a. Darth Seroim)
@Commander_Zemas (a.k.a. Darth Bodobol)
I'll probably post a recap tomorrow morning (Pacific time), either here or on a separate post-game thread.
