Hey everyone, This week I am starting my latest home campaign. This is by far the biggest campaign I have ever run; with a group of eight players in total. I will introduce you to the cast of characters next week once we get started, but I wanted to show off the shiny campaign resource that I have put together for my players to enable them to get familiar with the Scarred Lands. Campaign Wiki Until next week, good luck and good gaming.
From the look at it, the Jedi at the facility were more concerned with cleaning up and putting things back together then with preserving forensic data. However, they do tell you that a few transport shuttles were captured and several of the attackers bodies are still in cryogenic storage at the morgue.
As you approach the Jedi Academy at Bespin you can see that repair work had begun. The control tower guides you into the main hanger and sends a pair of padawan to meet you.
With your ship loaded with your requested supplies, you slip free of Courascant's atmosphere and begin your hunt for the dark jedi's base.
"Master, can we take the chance that they do not have your hand? Surely we must proceed as if they do. We know that there Imperial vessels sighted near Cloud City; perhaps one of them is the base for these dark jedi or can be tracked to their base. Let us follow them, Master and we will discover the truth!" "Very well," Luke says. "Go and discover the source of this threat. You have the Council's blessing." "And the Republic's as well," Leia adds.
A dark look crosses Master Skywalker's face. "The Prophecy of Vader? To my knowledge that could only mean one thing. When I faced off with Darth Vader shortly after I was trained by Master Yoda, he said that I would join him and together we would defeat the Emperor and rule the universe as father and son. But my father is dead, so I wonder what they could have meant?"Moma lets out a forlorn warble from his twin throats. He bows his head dejectedly and offers his opinion."If that is truly the prophecy, what if a dark jedi seeks to fulfill it by cloning Darth Vader and Master Luke Skywalker? The stipulation about defeating the Emperor has already been met." "They would have to have my DNA in order to clone," Master Skywalker says. "I don't know how they would have gotten that, unless..." His voice trails off as he looks to his mechanical hand.

But my father is dead, so I wonder what they could have meant?"
"This is most troubling," Luke says. "We must consult among ourselves before we decide on a course of action. Please enjoy some downtime in the temple while we confer."
Coruscant
The trip back to Coruscant is uneventful and you now find yourself in front of a panel composed of members of the senate and the Jedi Council. Master Skywalker takes the lead. "Welcome home, although your trip was clearly brief. What do you have to report?"
"I'm sure there is time for that while I arrange transport back to Courascant," Master Kiturn says with a smile.
"I think Jedi Mhoy is correct doctor," Master Kiturn says. "The council and the senate must be notified of this turn of events. Will you travel back to Couracant and inform them of this matter? I will stay here and try to find out more about this "Prophecty of Vader" the attackers mentioned."
Doctor Falomar recalls a class that he took and Corine flashes back to a magazine article she briefly glanced over. Both of you realize that the supplies that were stolen could be used in cloning operations.
"What would dark Jedi need with holocrons? Perhaps their masters are not as powerful as they wish us to believe, that they need OUR knowledge?""Depends on what's on those holocrons", replies Corine, "Master Kitarn, do you know what's specifically on the ones taken?" "I won't without the archives," he says. "However, this doesn't seem to fit with the other pirate raids, unless....Dokal Renn can you pull upa list of the other things that were stolen?"
"Can we confirm what was on the holocrons that were taken", asks Corine, concern clear in her tone. Master Kiturn looks at the readout. "Yes, that is the holocron vault," he says.
Dokal's digging indicates that the materials stolen were Jedi holocrons.
"You will need my access code," Master Kiturn says. He leads Dokal to a nearby terminal and types in a code. According to the security reports all the attacking groups have retreated. However, a system wide alert also indicates that several items were stolen from a vault near the center of the city.
The one thing that Doc notices is that except the two Dark Jedi, all of the Imperial forces have a foamy blue liquid leaking from their mouthes and their eyes are red from ruptured blood vessels.
Dokal's shot drops the last Dark Jedi. As he lays dying he struggles to rise to a sitting position. "The prophecy of Vader will be fulfilled," he says as he collapses back to the round. In the distance you can see the Imperial shuttles taking off and heading back into space.
Doc manages to slam the crate into the dark jedi, who falls to the ground with his head at an odd angle.
The One in Black laughs at Khisima's efforts as both swings miss wildly. "Surrender," he say in abooming voice, and we will lt you live. Otherwise your souls belong to the Maimed One."
The One in Black winces again as Diviha's sword slams into his left arm.
Camris' swing just doesn't have enough omph and bounces harmlessly off the enemy's armor. Seeing the savage attacks on their leader, the other dwarves leap to his defense. One of them swings at Camris and strike just above the halfling's head, sending sparks from the stone. Hoever, another is more skilled and lands a powerful blow in Camris' chest. Two more swing at Visakiel, one of whom hits him squarly in the arm.
Dokal drops the last Stormtrooper, while the standing Dark Jedi rushes the Doc and slashes at him with his lightsaber. The other Drk Jedi pulls himself together and rushes Cordal, but being smaked in the head with a shipping crate seems to have effected him more than he let on because he swings wide and misses.
Vissakiel's spell strikes true. The One in Black lashes out with his chain and finds Diviha's ankle. Pulling hard he pulls her to the ground as the chain releaes.
This time Diviha's swing hits and the One in Black lets out a satisfing grunt.
The two dark jedi look slightly confused by Cordal's greeting. Narmin'Tier's shot hits a storage barrel and bounces away from the stormtroopers, but Corine manages anothr stunning shot and another stormtrooper goes down. The remaining stormtrooper opens fire at Cordal and slams a bolt into his shoulder. damage.
Khisima's Earthbreaker continues to live up to it's name as it threatens every rock in the tunnel.
Tobler's blaster fire drops another stormtrooper while the Doc lifts the two shipping crates and slams them into one of the Dark Jedi, knocking him senseless.
