Star Wars: Fall of the Order [Concluded]

[naut]

unvote; vote: Captain Blackadder

Too many coincidental and safe votes.

[Diamondeye]

Why has it not occurred to you that an alternative is to refrain from killing anyone?

Reviewing my post, I can see the false dichotomy. But I believe, in choosing between using my (only) active ability to try and assist the town and doing nothing, even an educated guess at who is a good target is better than stasis. We are getting practically nowhere with voting and we've lynched several innocents following the lead of "investigators" to no use. Something tells me that vigilante kills will be responsible for more sith deaths than the lynch will (see: current scores; 0-2, advantage vigs).

[TinCow]

I think my previous post warrants a bit more exposition. Diamondeye claims to be a recently promoted Knight and is attempting to vig. As previously discussed, we are aware of three specific enemies of the town that need to be eliminated: the Dark One, the Sith Master, and the Sith Apprentice Mk. III. As a recently promoted Knight, Diamondeye likely has no chance whatsoever of killing the Dark One and the Sith Master, those roles will be very powerful and a solo-vig Knight with a single active ability isn't going to be a threat to them. So, the only role Diamondeye would be effective against would be the Sith Apprentice Mk. III. Yet, as discussed before, we apparently need to avoid killing the Apprentice until after we've killed the Master. As such, the only non-town role that Diamondeye has a chance at killing is the role we don't want to kill right now.

So, Diamondeye, why exactly are you trying to vig?

[edit]Simultaneous posting, though I think my point still stands. Cut it out, it's bad for the town.

Meh, it's very usual that only in the last few rounds, scum is being lynched.

Why killing if killing leads to the Dark Side?

[Nightbringer]

Shallow isn't quite the right word. I meant more along the lines of "this can't possibly be for real, so it must be fake". You have to twist yourself in logical knots to get from Grayblades' comment on Ironside to Grayblades being scum. Silly mistakes like that are almost the exclusive province of townies, and where they are not, they come from people like Sasaki, not people like Grayblades, no insult intended to either one. That post (especially but not exclusively because of how late it came), all but screamed of "oh wow I need to a cast a vote but the bandwagons are sucky, what shall I do what shall I do -- oh! somebody did something weird, and he's on a bandwagon to boot, oh happy day" followed by a torturous justification for why this particular weirdness might be perpetrated by scum.

That is pretty much true actually. I was looking for someone to vote for, and didn't much like the bandwagons, so I looked for what I could find. It wasn't a great case, but I saw more worth in what little there was there than anything on the other candidates. I believe I had also voted already that day period so there was no reason for me to scramble for a vote if I was sith.

As for other lines of reasoning against you, there is your tires-screeching-on-the-pavement backpedal from a previous vote (Csargo) after Sasaki called you out on it, which was enough to raise eyebrows and contributed to my first vote on you. There is also the fact that you have, IIRC, all but abandoned your previously very extensive, very diligent analysis of scummy players since you started being questioned at all. Even your grammar and typography have gone downhill. That all speaks of someone who's overstepped and is trying to not be noticed anymore.

That too is true. I did get scared when people started targeting me, and was starting to see a lot of holes in my own logical, so I decided to quiet down and see if anything popped up. As for the Csargo thing, I can only try to explain it so many times but what made me recant is when pevergreen criticized such a case on the grounds of Csargo's behavior perfectly mimicking what he always does. If you look at the argument I had made this quite soundly invalidates it.

I didn't attack you or anyone last night. As for red lightsabers being Sith, you have the implications backwards. Pizza said that if you see a red lightsaber, you know it's a Sith. He didn't say, and in fact took great pains to imply the opposite, that if you see some other color, you know you're not dealing with a Sith. Beskar had two lightsabers; only one was red. What I need to ask Pizza is whether an attacked Sith, who survives the attack, would ever show the red lightsaber. I suspect the answer is he would not, else the game would be very easy to break, but I haven't actually asked.

As I said earlier, my thinking was that because I displayed a green light saber, and no green light sabers had been used in killing, this proved that I had not killed anyone. It does make more sense for Sith to have cover up light sabers for defense though, so my only defense is that I was wrong.

I point out Belisarius II again, who has never been implicated in any attacks. Some Dark Jedi may have begun the game that way.

Of course, but it is less likely that I am one if I can demonstrate that I did not do so later in the game.

Death is Yonder is right, you should have no reason to believe that the person who attacked you was a Jedi, emerald lightsaber or no. Especially given it turned out to be Diamondeye, who has Dark Jedi written all over him. It's a weak point, though.

I believed that person was you, and I believe you to be a Jedi.

As to today, I am going to dig around a little in auto and diana's post histories and see if there is anything worth adding to the discussion.

edit:Nothing much, pretty much everything of relevance appears to have already been posted.

[Frozen In Ice]

It has seemed that Captain Blackadder has been trying to make as little noise as possible.
vote: Captain Blackadder

[Joooray]

Dead town can still achieve a victory; is that true for a dead neutral?

No it's not. We have to survive to get some kind of win.

[Joooray]

I'll most probably won't be on before the day ends, so I have to vote now. Not sure about any lynch for today, the cases against auto and night have both their merit. Diana however should be given a chance to defend herself.
Thus, I'll Vote: Nightbringer to at least keep him and auto close together.

I hope people won't be discouraged by what happened to Grey last night, I can always use the extra help of a protection.

[God Emperor]

Diana: pevergreen, autolycus, Jarema, Wideeyedwanderer, Seon, ArpeggiateTHIS, Beefy187 (7)

Autolycus: God Emperor, Nightbringer, Chaotix, Sasaki, Ignoramus, Byzantine knight, (6)

Nightbringer: Renata, Csargo, Tincow, Joooray (4)


Captain Blackadder: Psychonaut, Frozen in Ice (2)

Renata: Diamondeye

Sasaki: Robbiecon

Robbiecon: Khazar

This is the current tally

[wideyedwanderer]

Oh, also...

Unvote; Vote: Nightbringer

Make it a choice between him and autolycus. It's absurd to lynch Diana again. She hasn't posted anywhere on the Org since Sunday. That's not intentional lurking, that's simple absence from the forums.

I agree. Unvote.

Here's my take on why we should lynch Diana Abnoba over me.

Me: Admittedly not particularly useful posts thus far, but consistently posting about once every day, giving at least a little more evidence in either direction about my guilt/innocence, and sharing info about me with one of the force ghosts. Now that I've been accused, pressure will only build for me to provide more active analysis or otherwise prove my worth.

Diana Abnoba: 3 posts in the past 2 weeks. Claims to have been protecting someone every night for many nights now, but unless she was green lightsaber, has not protected anyone who was attacked.

auto, you have, for a long time now, done nothing but follow the popular bandwagon. You usually do better than this. Giving evidence about your guilt/innocence? Seems to point towards your guilt. Vote: autolycus.

[Cecil XIX]

By my count, one more vote for Nightbringer will cause a threeway tie between him, Diana and autolycus. Be advised. vote: Diana. Can somone explain to this Mafia newbie why we never lynch someone a second time just because they've proven to have Force Breath?

Sure...

It's absurd to lynch Diana again. She hasn't posted anywhere on the Org since Sunday. That's not intentional lurking, that's simple absence from the forums.

[Frozen In Ice]

Of the people who are actually in the running to get lynched, I'd rather vote: Autolycus.

[Chaotix]

Hrmm... the tie is maintained at 8 each for Diana and autolycus, I believe.

I'm ok with a duel deciding their fates, actually. It will (most probably) reveal if either is actually a Sith, and bypass autolycus' Force Breath if he has it. And I don't really see the case on either (or on Nightbringer, for that matter) being strong enough to support either decisively. My vote stays where it is.

[God Emperor]

just keep in mind that duels can end in a draw

[pevergreen]

He might not have but I have the definite impression that he is holding his hand over you, and I want to know why. Uninformed vigilante killers are mroe or less equal to serial killers; used properly, they are an extremely effective tool in removing the mafia. Is it wrong of me to ask pevergreen who I should attack? Should I pick without asking?



This was my first attack as I've not been a Knight for very long. Pizza should be able to confirm in public what he has answered in private; there are no vigilante abilities below Knight rank.



This! I don't know how many people pevergreen is actively talking to and how many he just wants to push around, but if he wants people to follow his plans and ideas, he needs to be far more informative.
I asked pevergreen yesterday (in the day phase!) who I should attack, with no reply. Hence, I picked someone I found scummy. Today, I sent him my suggestion for who I should attack since I figured he wouldn't actually suggest someone (he hasn't, shocker), and he (as you probably read) threatened to have me killed if I pursued that lead.

Now, while I don't agree with his method of threatening - it's extremely egoistic to squander ressources that way - I understand why he'd do so, and I don't have any intentions of going through with the attack on the suggested target. What I'd really like is an alternative since you yourself seem to be annoyed at the apparent fumbling in darkness; I understand why you wouldn't want to spill lots of information, but simply saying "vig kill this or that person" would be nice. I believe you actually made such a post after that threat, somewhere... I'll find it if it exists.



"planned"? Please, stop twisting my words. I asked the confirmed innocent for directions and what did I get? No directions but a big fat threat to my face. You really know how to keep the ranks loyal, sirrah.

1: Its not wrong to ask, but at this point there are simply no good targets. I've said that.
2: Players can receive powers above their initial rank at the start of the game.
3: No, I don't need to be far more informative. Anything I release to the town, is released to the sith. Why would I oust the most powerful members of the town to the sith, or tell the sith person x and person y's weaknesses.

Really? I have two PMs from you.

Tonight, I learned my first active vigilante ability. I don't think I'm very effective yet, but point me at anyone you need attacked, please

Strange, I didn't respond. Probably because I didn't want any vig kills happening, especially not from you?

I attacked Nightbringer last night. I am the attacker with the Emerald Blade - there should only be one in the writeup - and Nightbringer is thus Gith Ranay. For reference, my own name is On-so C'ba.

Unless you order me to do otherwise, I intend to attack xxx tonight.

I do not have the impression from my attack results that Nightbringer is anything more than an ordinary Jedi Knight, like myself.

Yet, I have no way of knowing what you are. I have no reason to trust you, both from inthread and from the double investigation done on you, that I don't like the results of.

Found it. Is this as jokish as the smiley suggests, or do you want any of these people actually removed?

Personally, yeah I think ACIN should go. Pyscho is just a bit off to me.

Currently, we have no decent suspects of who the bad guys are. Vig kills are not going to help.

Meh, it's very usual that only in the last few rounds, scum is being lynched.

Why killing if killing leads to the Dark Side?

My way of letting you know what you need is quite simple. if you're about to lynch someone you shouldn't I come and say "dont lynch this person"

Eg: Cecil

[Frozen In Ice]

Going by God Emperor's count Autolycus should have one more vote than Diana, so currently there isn't a tie.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Currently, we have no decent suspects of who the bad guys are. Vig kills are not going to help.

Ok, if I can be serious here for a moment, besides being annoyed that I make jokes for 90% of my posts, what exactly spurs you to think that killing me will benefit the town against the sith? I mean, if you want to kill me because I am not offering constructive dialogue then I just have to say that seems really silly considering that I have made it clear that I am not going to make a case because I am too ignorant on all the words and actions that people have made over the past x day/night cycles. It is clear that the Sith are legitimately trying to derail the conversation and protect themselves with half truth accusations to distract people from who they should really kill, so it just seems counterproductive to kill the guy thats sitting here going "yeah, I don't know anything.". As far as I know, I don't think a mafia group can survive and not participate in the public thread at the same time. Essentially I am just saying, if I was a Sith, i haven't really done much to protect myself.

Realistically, I do all this because I feel there is always enough people to dissect everyone else's words but not that many people that bring a light hearted atmosphere to the game. I'm just trying to make people laugh and enjoy the game more by hopefully getting to read a few funny posts in the midst of the neverending wall of serious accusative posts.

I am very fine with someone vigilante killing him ... you have survived way too long with this play style imo.. only a few rounds ago you decided to say you were a dark jedi to see people's reaction... This round you have not even bothered to cast a vote.. You have no intentions of aiding town one bit

Going by God Emperor's count Autolycus should have one more vote than Diana, so currently there isn't a tie.

yeah you are right

Alright cool, waste your time on me, whatever. Obviously you are just annoyed I'm not playing the game the same way you are and I can't change that.

And I am voting this round. You shouldn't really talk until the round is over before you make that statement. I don't have to have my first post every day cycle to be a vote.
Vote: Diana because I do think there is a strong case that others have already brought up. Are you happy now? No, you are not. Rhetorical question.

I do have every intention of helping the town and because I don't make it completely obvious what I am trying to do like you doesn't mean I'm some evil baddy hindering you all. You guys seem to be inept at finding sith already I don't even know how I could make things worse in that department.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Unvote; Vote: ACIN I forgot there was a tie, so I want to preserve that tie and see what the write up says.

[dcmort93]

so much for being helpfull

[Sasaki Kojiro]

"unhelpful" is a bad reason to kill someone. And when people start agreeing in thread that someone ought to be offed it gives an excuse to all those wannabe-sith jedi to get in a kill scot-free.

[TinCow]

You've got to be kidding me on the Diana vote...

Unvote; Vote: Autolycus

[autolycus]

And so Tin Cow kills me, with a last minute vote switch. Watch him carefully, my fellow jedi.

• Excellent activity today guys! Keep it up! Wow!

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.

The votes were counted.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.

"Who has been found guilty?"

"Malious de Wal."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.

Malious de Wal: "Is this really your judgment? You didn't seem very certain of this, my friends."

Ronen Durdon: "Regardless, that is the choice that has been made. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Malious de Wal: "If you are not convinced of my innocence simply by the fact that there has been no evidence of any wrongdoing, then there is nothing I can say to defend myself any further. Your judgment is simply flawed."

Ronen Durdon: "Are you prepared to receive your judgment?"

Malious de Wal: "Of course. Perhaps my becoming one with the Force will allow you to see your error, and allow you to focus on the more likely suspects."

Ronen Durdon: "Please enter the hangar bay".



Malious de Wal handed over his lightsaber and Jedi robes, and began to meditate in the middle of the hangar, as the airlocks closed and the outer bay doors began to open.


Malious de Wal: "May the Force be with you all."



Ronen Durdon pressed the switch, and the hangar bay decompressed, blowing Malious de Wal out into space. He quickly suffocated, and died.

The tremor felt throughout the Force was impossible to ignore. Once again, the Jedi had put someone to death who was unusually strong with the Light Side of the Force. The Grandmaster dropped to a knee from the sheer weight of what they had done.


Ronen Durdon: "Bring back the body.... put it with the others."



The Jedi began their nightly duties in silence.

Autolycus- Malious de Wal

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Sunday, December 5th, Eastern Time USA (If I get 19 people voting by midnight of the 4th, round will end 24 hours early.)

Bos Dhi Kao was keeping watch over the weapons locker, in the security section near the command center of the ship. Alpha shift was almost over. He was kneeling in front of the locked security door, meditating. He was aware that there were two beings approaching.... one from the main turbolift in the aft section of the corridor, and one from the secondary turbolift in the forward section of the corridor.

The one approaching from the main turbolift would have to pass through the security force-fields. The one approaching from the secondary turbolift had a clear path to Bos Dhi Kao.

As soon as the first being stepped off of the secondary turbolift, Bos Dhi Kao sprang into action. His eyes snapped open and he immediately ignited his pair of green lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Ataru stance. The cloaked assassin stood, meditating.

Bos Dhi Kao: "You're not authorized to be on this deck! You will immediately step back onto that turbolift and return to your quarters! If you do not leave immediately I will be forced to engage you!"

First assassin: "You're right about one thing. You will be forced to engage me...."

Without further hesitation, both Bos Dhi Kao and the unknown assailant leaped into the air, and landed just a few feet away from one another. They charged one another and their lightsabers clashed. The assassin was using the Djem So form. The two powerful beings stood toe to toe with one another, both demonstrating incredible skill with the sabers, but Bos Dhi Kao was demonstrating a clear advantage.

The twin saber Ataru form savaged the more subtle Djem So defenses. The style was so aggressive, that there wasn't any clear way for the Perseverance form to get in the counterattacks which so typified Djem So. While the assailant was blocking and countering the incredible onslaught of blows from the twin Ataru blades. The attacks were merciless, fast, and unending. Immediately, the purple-saber assassin was forced backwards, unable to get in a single counterattack. Worse, Bos Dhi Kao began demonstrating a mastery of the art of movement, and with force-assisted leaps, spins, flips, and other movements, Bos Dhi Kao literally fought circles around his opponent.

Reaching deep into the Force, the purple-saber assailant doubled its speed and strength, trying to keep up. The assailant wasn't even close, and the defender reached deeper into the Force as well, and demonstrated incredible valor and strength, while maintaining the forceful, infinite aggression. There wasn't so much as an attempt at defense, all of the saber movements were aimed at breaking down the Djem So defenses.

Roaring with effort, Bos Dhi Kao delivered a combination of strikes designed to wither his opponent. Leaping into the air, twisting around like a cyclone, Bos Dhi Kao unleashed a flurry of spinning strikes towards his opponent. The first four blows were blocked by the purple saber, and the fifth made contact with the saber hilt, shattering it to pieces. The sixth made contact with the assassin's hand, cutting it from its body. Bos Dhi Kao landed squarely in front of the assailant, and completed the spinning movement with a roundhouse kick to the face, sending the assassin flying into the metal sliding door of the turbolift shaft, which broke open.... The turbolift car was no longer there, it had moved several decks downward.


Turning around, Bos Dhi Kao sensed that the second assassin had finally made it through the security force fields, and he charged down towards his opponent, to protect the security room.


Bos Dhi Kao: "You're under arrest! Kneel and surrender, or face the consequences!"

Second assassin: "Don't count on it!"

The second assassin finished meditating and unleashed an emerald lightsaber, and charged forward in the makashi style. Bos Dhi Kao leaped forward and began his spinning combination once again, in the same advanced Ataru stance.

The second assassin easily parried all of the lightning fast blows like a master fencer, utilizing the superior form against the more experimental and overly aggressive Ataru. This particular assassin also understood the art of movement, and was able to counter the increasingly complex aerial gymnastics displayed by Bos Dhi Kao.

Bos Dhi Kao still held a slight advantage, but he was unable to break through the elegant, natural, flowing defenses of the Makashi form. Every solid, overpowering blow was met with little resistance, but a well-leveraged deflection or a parry. The second assassin reached deeper into the force and demonstrated incredible valor in combat, strengthening to the point where all of the blows were easy to resist.

This battle raged on for some time, until it was clear to the second assassin that there was no opening for an attack. They were both tiring, and Bos Dhi Kao was slightly better skilled. After a nearly lethal blow which forced the assailant back, the security force fields came down between the two attackers, and Bos Dhi Kao watched the second attacker escape down the main turbolift shaft.

Sweating, the master swordsman switched off his twin blades, and returned to his meditation.

__________________________

On-so C'ba was getting ready for Beta shift, when he noticed that the person he was meant to relive of duty wasn't even there. Instead there was a cloaked figure he did not recognize.


On-so C'ba: "What are you doing here?"

Unknown: "........"


Reacting quickly, On-so ignited his emerald lightsaber and began to meditate.

The cloaked figure ignited a lightsaber as well.

The unknown assailant unleashed a force leap, landing in front of On-so, and began advancing on him with the Soresu style. On-so's Makashi style wasn't able to break through the powerful Soresu defense, and so he was forced to give ground. The assailant was obviously well-trained. On-so reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a burst of force valor.

The strength and concentration that On-so was able to demonstrate allowed him to halt the advance, and hold back his attacker. He stood his ground and clashed sabers at close range, neither of them giving an inch.

The two titans fought, and began to wear each other out. Frustrated at not making more headway, the cloaked assailant executed a backwards leap and fled the scene.

On-so switched off his lightsaber. Somehow, he had survived!

__________________________

Ku-vect Belthon was wandering the twisted corridors in the bowels of the ship, near the destroyed sections. Things were uneventful, until the sound of a lightsaber igniting above her head caused Ku-vect to look up. Reacting quickly, she unleashed her lightsaber and blocked a blow that would have been lethal, as the cloaked assassin dropped down from the metal walkway above her head.

Ku-vect held her yellow lightsaber in the Niman style, utilizing the Moderation Form. The assailant however, began pounding on her relentlessly with the Makashi style, wielding a golden saber.

Without warning, Ku-vect was bathed in light. Out of nowhere, a wall of light was erected, surrounding Ku-vect on all sides. Ku-vect seemed a little startled, but retained her focus.

Growling, the golden saber assassin touched the wall of light with its lightsaber, and found that the saber could pass through the light. In an instant, the attacker continued to press the attack against Ku-vect, who had to defend herself in spite of the defensive field.

Concentrating, Ku-vect unleashed a combination of defense and attack, the perfect balance, and in just the right positions and with just enough leverage to turn back the flowing, elegant Makashi attacks. This modern technique, Niman, was able to penetrate the more traditional Makashi defenses, and after a few minutes of hard struggling, Ku-vect smashed the golden lightsaber to pieces.

The assassin immediately turned and fled the scene before any more damage was done.

Rivan Nul was guarding the corridors near the shuttle bays. The corridor was filled with smoke and debris, from the massive explosions which took place over a week ago. There wasn't much left worth keeping an eye on down here, but it was the perfect place for the Sith to be hiding. At least, that is what the Grandmaster had concluded.

The shift passed uneventfully, but Nul suddenly felt a cold chill when it was time for his shift to end. Sure enough, he felt a presence approaching. He turned around quickly and ignited his lightsaber.

The cloaked figure approached and lifted a hand. Thinking quickly, Rivan Nul attempted to close the distance between them and cut the being down with a single stroke. He allowed a trickle of the Force to flow through his body, and his strength and speed doubled.


He sprang into action, and within a flash, he was already upon the cloaked figure, saber raised in the Soresu stance. Suddenly, he felt as if he were being strangled. The cloaked figure moved backward, while continuing to execute the hold. Rivan Nul was lifted up off of the ground, and he couldn't breathe. He swung his lightsaber fruitlessly, unable to reach his opponent. He dropped the saber and clawed at his throat, and began to lose consciousness. The figure raised another hand, and Rivan Nul had all of the wind knocked out of his body. His chest began to compress by an unseen force, and bones began to snap. The cloaked figure made an even tighter gripping motion with its hands, and began slamming Rivan Nul against one side of the corridor, and back against the other. With burning hatred, the creature gripped tighter still, and Rivan Nul's blood shot out of his nose and his eyes became bloodshot. His body caved in on itself and was crushed smaller and smaller. With one final pushing motion, the creature hurled the body of Rivan Nul straight through one of the airtight duranium bulkheads, killing him instantly.

Driz Foun was returning to his quarters, now that his Beta shift guard rotation was complete. When he was just at the door, he pressed the buttons to open, and found that the passcode had been changed.

Turning around, the Jedi of short stature noticed an imposing figure standing some distance down the hall, wearing a cloak to disguise its features.


Grumbling, the short Jedi ignited one end of his yellow saber and stood in the Soresu form, ready for anything.

The hissing of a door sliding open startled both of them, and a third figure emerged from the quarters just a few doors down from Driz Foun, standing between Foun and the cloaked assailant, igniting a golden lightsaber.

Taung Eeda: "In the name of the Jedi Council, I order you to stand back! I know you've been stalking Foun, and this ends right here, right now!"


Wordlessly, the cloaked figure raised its hands and began summoning dark energy. Without hesitation, Taung Eeda reached deep into the Force and unleashed Force Valor, and began charging at the unarmed cloaked figure. When Eeda was just a few feet away, the being fired a beam of dark energy directly at Eeda, who tried to block the beam with his lightsaber....

The dark energy beam hit Eeda's lightsaber and knocked him to the deck, blowing the lightsaber out of his hands and stunning him for a moment. The beam continued all the way down the corridor, where it impacted Driz Foun's lightsaber, just as he was executing the spinning saber barrier maneuver in the Soresu style, knocking Foun against the wall of the corridor and sending him sprawling to the floor. The two Jedi quickly recovered and grabbed their lightsabers.

Spent, the cloaked creature could not summon another beam of dark energy, but the creature had one more tactic. It waited, as the two Jedi advanced, moving closer... and closer... and closer.....

As the two Jedi raised their lightsabers, the cloaked figure unleashed a powerful Force Scream. The sonic wave hit the strengthened Eeda, whose Valor-protected body was nearly able to withstand the direct blast of sonic energy, but the scream was so powerful and lasted so long, that the wounds sustained from the blast became too great, and Eeda lay dead in the corridor.

Driz Foun, however, was almost immediately blown to pieces by the force of the blast, and was splattered against the walls of the corridor, rendered unrecognizable.

Both Jedi were clearly dead when it was all over.

The cloaked figure escaped.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon called the meeting of the Jedi Council to order.


"As you can see from the security recordings, there were many attacks last night. Some of us are rather lucky to be alive. Bos Dhi Kao, On-so C'ba, and Ku-vect Belthon, I am glad to see you are still with us.

Unfortunately, its clear that Rival Nul did not survive, and Taung Eeda died bravely trying to defend the life of Driz Foun, who also met a tragic end. They will be deeply missed. We must root out their murderers, before it is too late!"

Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.
