Lostshadow's Fiction

Yeah, the party might as well use Ochi's ship. It's not like he's going to miss it, after all. That said, I wonder if it still works. Star Wars's theme is "used and worn" outside of Imperial/First Order things, but this thing looks really heavily sanded. Maybe they'll use it to crash land near the Falcon?

Interesting though, if Kylo only just showed up now, that means those troopers were already nearby the planet. I wonder how they got the info that the party was in the area. Did Poe actually raise enough of a ruckus that the troopers came to check the place out? Or were the troopers already hunting for Lando and the party drew suspicion off of him as part of a deal?

Buuuuuuut speaking of feeling personally attacked, I should probably clean some things up. Don't want to get to the point where I'm a joke like this as well!

The grue appears! .... But I guess the little lantern and lightsaber are good enough light sources, so the group doesn't get eaten. For now anyway. .... And it's already got stomach troubles, so another point against that.

Is Pete metagaming here? Definitely. But it also seems that the GM is counting on that as the snake thing's just talking a lot and mentioning Rey and the sword. Which honestly probably makes more sense than the movie does; this critter kinda has wampa vibes with the teeth and the "personalized" cave it's living in. Why wouldn't the main characters try and immediately slice or shoot it, especially with how Poe's already pointing a blaster at it? It's not like there's an obvious exit to run away through. The really weird thing is that Rey really does appear to hand over the lightsaber to Finn.

Oh, and this thing definitely doesn't talk in the movie. It's too non-human looking to speak English Galactic Basic, and with a mouth full of teeth like that, I'd honestly be extremely surprised if it makes any sounds other than hisses or movie-rancor growls.

A dagger? Odd thing to focus on at the moment with the rest of the environment, but alright. I'd argue those aren't exactly evil runes on it though. Mostly because the resolution isn't good enough for me to tell that they're anything more than a bunch of vertical lines. A more interesting observation is that it's got a couple key teeth behind the blade tip, which is probably what the GM refers to with the "spiked" descriptor. Perhaps "present this dagger at" is code for "use this key to unlock"; that'd be a neat addition to the treasure hunt comments the party are making for themselves.

As for the second part of the text, I think I can imagine quite a bit. So whatever the marvellous surprises end up being, they'll probably be a disappointment. Unless Kylo figures out the Factory location and has it orbitally bombarded just before the group gets there and can enter. Now that would be a great way to keep the contents all a mystery for people to only imagine.
