For Klonsa and Christy:
Unlike the last time that you were connected to this flow of thoughts and energy, your entry is a bit more controlled, your travel a bit more deliberate. You can see the vague outlines of one another, and of Lucen's glowing form, and in the distance the glowing forms of the members of her race.
For Klonsa:
You can make a Use the Force check in order to see how far and how well you can use this boost to your ability. Christy will have a chance to boost your ability while aiding you.
For Christy:
If you wish to bolster him with your Force ability, you can "anchor" him by reaching out to him in the Force and supporting him as he attempts to complete his plan.
GM:
For Klonsa:
You get the vague sense of traveling throughout Iego's system, from moon to debris field to the planet below. You can "feel" these locations, but you cannot quite make out the details of the various locations, other than those beings that can touch the Force.
Most of the beings that you feel in the Force are like Lucen. You feel beings that are born to using the Force, and do it as a natural course, rather than being trained in the Force, like you and the other Jedi you have felt in the Force.
On the planet itself, you feel beings similar to Lucen's people, but that have their own unique feel to them, as if they are also natural born Force users, but of a slightly different type than Lucen's people.
You do not seem to feel anyone that uses the Force in a similar manner to the Jedi or Sith that you have encountered in the Force before. There is, however, a presence in the Force, a powerful feeling of a being that is both born to natural Force use as well as one that has been trained to utilize the Force. The being has an enormous presence in the Force, but you have only "bounced a signal" off of the being.
If you wish, you can push a telepathic feeling or connection to this unique being.
Regardless, while you cannot detect the Light or Dark Side specifically in this manner, Jedi and Sith are similar in their "profile" when detected in this manner, and aside from your friends, you don't quite sense anyone similar to you, except for the one presence mentioned above.
For Christy:
You can make out Klonsa beginning to glow, shinning in the Force, and you see rays of light that shoot out from him to bounce off of Lucen's people, and the rays bounce all around, creating a web of light which eventually comes back to connect to Klonsa himself.
While the rest of you debate your next move, you see Klonsa, Christy, and Lucen holding hands. Lucen glows even more brightly than she normally does, to the point to where its almost difficult to look at her directly. Klonsa and Christy both have dreamy expressions of their face, and a far seeing look in their eyes, as if they see more than any of you can perceive at the moment, and neither of them appear to be aware of the world around them in lieu of the hidden world they gaze at.
Author continues to record the events while remaining in the background.
"Hrph." Dangard huffs. "I guess we'll just have to wait for them to stop smoking the peace pipe before we get some answers."
Dangard wanders off to check out the sublight and hyperdrive systems.

For Klonsa and Christy:
Why have you disturbed Flax'supt'ai? Oh yes, that is right . . . most of you are not that skilled with telepathy. You have disturbed my rest, and I do not wish to be disturbed. But I can see what you are looking for in you minds . . . I am disappointed in you, Diathim, that you let them disturb me.
Do not bring your wars to my world. You seek answers about the Sith, and I will only tell you this . . . Sith cannot long abide without trying to dominate, and when they tried to contend with me, they perished.
Either attempt to leave, or live in peace from this point on, but do not plot and plan your war here, or I will end it for you prematurely. I did not abide war coming here when Xim the Despot was crawling across the galaxy, and my mind has not changed now.
Abruptly, the connection closes off, and all of you violently drop out of the flow of energy, and physically back into your bodies.
Everyone sees Klonsa, Christy, and Lucen move violently, with a start, and once their eyes are opened, they seem to be shoved to the ground by some unseen force, blinking and disoriented.
Breathing heavily Klonsa slowly stands back up. Looking to Aruuna he shakes his head as if trying to clear his thoughts.
"I was able to use the Force to connect to Lucen's people and form a web to sweep the system for any sign of the Sith. There were none anywhere in the system. I did however, find the dragon. I don't think it was too happy at being disturbed. It said to leave or live in peace but not to bring our war here or it would destroy us like it did to the Sith. It seemed to be a very powerful being skilled in the Force."
Aruuna looks rather surprised at that, and rushes over to them, kneeling down to touch Lucen's shoulder.
"What happened? Are you all right?"
Lucen blinks a bit, and as she does so, her level of illumination fluctuates a bit.
"I . . . I am fine. Jedi Klonsa Frakesh . . . I did not know that you wished to speak with the dragon. I would have advised against it had I known."
Lucen blinks a bit, and as she does so, her level of illumination fluctuates a bit.
"I . . . I am fine. Jedi Klonsa Frakesh . . . I did not know that you wished to speak with the dragon. I would have advised against it had I known."
"It was not part of my plan to contact the dragon. I was trying to identify the locations of other force users, such as your people so we could avoid them and to see if there were any Sith within this system."
Ceelell gives a concerned look from the two sets of Jedi, the one whose rage seems to be flaring and the others who have broadcast themselves so fully. He looks to Klonsa. "Could you give me a description of this dragon? Perhaps it is a beast that has been encountered before? My people know much of the creatures that inhabit many worlds."
"Suggestion: if this unit is required to attack a 'dragon', then this unit requires larger weaponry. And explosives."

"I did not see the dragon, only feel its presence within the Force. Its presence was immense and it felt to be both a natural Force user like Lucen's people and like a trained Force user like the Jedi and Sith.

For Ceelell:
For Ceelell:
There are no reliable records of them other than some veiled references in various ruins and tails from Outer Rim and Expansion Region worlds, but the scientists that have tried to sort fact from fiction seem to think that the creatures may have had the ability to survive in a vacuum, and may have even been able to traverse the void under its own power.
Obviously, said creatures seemed to be able to go without food, water, and air for long periods of time, and the various stories have found theoretical fossil records that would indicate creatures that ranged from perhaps five meters long to creatures that would be as large as some capital ships.
Other than matching the legends to some existing, non-specified fossils that "may" be attributable to the star dragon legends.
Ceelell considers this talk of dragons for a long moment before looking somewhat concerned to the others. "I think I may have heard some galactic rumors of these beasts before, now that I have had time to reflect after the shock of our arrival. They are immense creatures, the smallest the size of a speeder while the largest could be a capital ship in their own right. I have only heard of research being done on fossils, never a live specimen, but it is thought that they are capable of survival in some of the most inhospitable environments imaginable, even the depths of space."
"Your discovery of this ones force use would be something new to add to the legend, but if it displays hints of having been trained as a jedi or sith would be, then it is obviously intelligent and clearly a being of great power. If it has come all this way to find solitude on this world, then I would suggest we leave it be. It may even be possible that this world was chosen purposefully. Lucen's people do not disturb the dragon, and their psychic abilities mean that other intelligent races are not likely to come here. Outsiders bother the Dragon would be very unlikely."
"I agree whole heartily with leaving the dragon alone. The mental meeting was dangerous enough, I would not want to risk sacrificing our lives on something so foolish when there is still the presence of Sith in the Galaxy. While we were out, was there any decision on our next destination?"
Groodar speaks
"Would anyone be opposed to just doing a scouting mission? Perhaps so Groodar could get some footage of such a mystical beast for generations to see? As for the droids planning.....The avalance has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."
Lucen shivers at what she hears.
"You are my friends, and are quite fascinating. I have been keeping watch over you for three hundred of your years . . . I feel I must restate that its very dangerous to fly through the storms and debris to reach the planet proper, and the dragon itself is a massive, powerful thing.
But you must do what you think is best. I only want to you know the risks."

Groodar Greepbar: Travel to Iego proper, visit dragon
"This unit votes for leaving this rock of a world and getting more weaponry before we assault legendary creatures."

Groodar Greepbar: Iego to see the dragon
HK-22: Anywhere else first (to get more weapons), then to see the dragon (if that's what everyone else wants)
"I would vote he head off planet and make for Coruscant. Although retaking Dantooine is a very close second for me."
"I trust my own skills to pilot us out of here, even with the effect of Lucen's people. The Dragon however, seems to have demonstrated, from afar I may add, his annoyance with poking at him."
"If you all choose to go to it, I cannot support you, but neither will I stop you. I'm sure i can find something to occupy my time here on the ship while you go sightseeing."
Ceelell shakes his head a bit. "I have quite a fascination for all living creatures. I would treasure a chance to view such a beast, but how I cherish all life leads me to feel that such a risk would be suicidal. I would not wish to lose any of you to this creature. I suggest we move towards corusant in order to best assess where the various factions stand now. It may be wise to stop at a more unaffiliated planet on the way, however, so that we may disguise our ship."
Votes
Groodar: Iego to see the dragon
HK-22: Anywhere to get more weapons, then wherever, back to the dragon if that's the prevailing plan.
Klonsa: Off planet, preferring Coruscant, Dantooine close second
Danguard: Prefers off planet
Ceelell: Off planet, perhaps one "low key" before hitting Courscant
Aruuna: Visit dragon first, then to Dantooine
So we're just waiting to see Christy's preference.
"Strange as it sounds, I would see the Dragon before leaving."
"I . . . I don't know. To my knowledge none of my people have every left this system. We have traveled from the planet to the moons and back, but to leave entirely . . .
It would be difficult to do so, if I draw my people away so that you are not affected by their 'song.' For me to come with you, I would have to put you in danger, since I cannot travel this 'hyperspace' that you speak of without being in your ship.
I am not against the idea. I have watched you for 300 of your years, and strangely, I feel closer to you than I do to my own people . . . but I cannot leave you all in danger from my people, however unwitting the danger might be."
Danguard muses: "Does the song of your people also cause droids the same problems? If not- we could simply have Twenty Two as a copilot as we make a plot out of this system."
"I wouldn't want to take you away from your home, if you were unwilling to leave. For, I have never heard of this place, and it might be we never come back."
Lucen looks to Danguard.
"Automatons do not seem to be affected by my people's song, as it affects the mind as well as the ears, and thus can even be heard in space.
While I don't want to leave you all in danger . . . the prospect of seeing more of the galaxy is . . . exciting to me."
"42, do you have any more information on this debris field and do you fathom it will be a hazard for us?"
Klonsa grabs a small amount of water and dumps it on his head, sighing in relief as the water flows over his skin. Looking at the others Klonsa shrugs. "Aruuna has a good point we should probably attempt a test run."
Did I drop enough hints that Troy was a HRD? Just curious now that the game is over :)
Hoping I fooled a few people anyway.
I added my actual character sheet for kicks, I was hiding/fudging the original one on my profile.

I was fooled. Too bad the game is over, you would have made a glorious soldier in the eventual droid rebellion against the fleshy overlords!

I must say, I suspected as much when you refused the healing after our first fight.

I never got that fixed either. I was thinking though if pressed, i'd pass that off by going into my own force trance.
