> go to locker "03-27" and take the energy source, using the Force if it is out of reach, proclaim "Power! Limited power!"
> go to locker "50-47" and take whatever is there
> once you are on firm footing, put on armor. Ask Cherry if it looks cool.

 

"Would you happen to know the way to the council chamber?" you ask the friendly Initiate.

"Sure," he answers. "If you want to avoid the turbolifts, then just do what most Padawans do." He points up at the open hatchway. "Just cut through the rafters up there." The Jedi Initiate chuckles. "You learn a lot on janitorial duty."

You pick up the mynock-emblazoned armor: Taken.
Then, you thank the helpful boy.

"Don't mention it," he says. "Guess I'll go return the tabard." Along with Elsix, the Initiate approaches the northern door.

You can't return eastward along the passageway... you haven't been there yet! So, you simply travel east.

Hall of the Spire
The passageway widens significantly here. It stretches out before you hundreds of feet and ends at a majestic rock formation jutting up through the floor. The massive rock is encircled by a walkway.

BigAl6ft6:
You return to the storage facility.

Training Lightsaber Storage
Locker '03-27' is unreachable due to the ladder's position. "Power! Limited power!" you proclaim.

Once again, you climb the five stories. However, you come to stop at locker '49-47'. Stiglaan Zholt is at the very top of the ladder, blocking your way to locker '50-47'.

In order to attain firm footing, you must climb back down to the floor. You do so. (+1 Stamina = 3)

The second training droid activates and drops to the floor while you're donning the armor: Equipped.
Armor (5 out of 5 Defense Points)

"Cherry, does it look cool?" you ask. T3-Q8 is not here.

 

> yell loudly "Cherry! Come back!"
> move or wait for ladder to move to Locker 03-27
> K-2SO mode on "Climb!" climb ladder
> get power source, pulling it towards you with the Force out of Zolt's grasp if need be

 

OOC: Oops. Guess I got turned around

> Curse the voices in your head urging you to such randomness. You're trying to be a Jedi here!
> Check inventory.
> Sort through and discard unnecessary items.
> Take the advice given to you by "Mr. Helpful"

 

"Cherry! Come back!" you loudly yell. Your voice echoes from the floor to the ceiling. Five stories above, Stiglaan Zholt has taken a mysterious item out of locker '50-47'. He ignores your dramatic yelling.

You walk over to the southern wall and grab the movable ladder. Considering Stiglaan is perched at the top, you'll need a Strength Stat of 1 to shift the ladder to column 27.
Your Strength Stat is ZERO, so you fail. You were warned.
(-1 Strength = -1)
WARNING! Your Strength Stat has slipped to below average incompetence. The probability of tasks backfiring has increased.
You crouch at the bottom of the ladder, catching your breath.

"Hey!" Stiglaan exclaims. "What's the big idea? Don't touch that ladder!" The training droid continues to approach you.

K-2SO mode is still LOCKED. You've only unlocked Krennic mode.

Weary from attempting to pull the crude ladder, you climb halfway up, reaching row 25. (-1 Stamina = 1) The droid grabs the ladder and begins to ascend. It seems to be obsessed with reaching you.

"What are you up to now?" Zholt inquires. "Beat it, Padawan!"

The power source is locked away in locker '03-27'. You can't pull it towards you until you unlock the Force ability of Phase. It's NOT in Stiglaan Zholt's grasp. However, he's holding another item that breaks free and starts floating down the ladder towards you.

"Hey!" the Durosian yells again. "That's mine! You're working with that crooked Initiate, aren't you?" Mysterious item: Taken.

The training droid nears.

There are no voices in your head, but you curse them anyway. (-1 Alignment = LIGHT SIDE: +4) Yes, you are trying to be a Padawan.

Sorting and discarding items cannot be done automatically. You are free to sort as you see fit and trash as you wish.

The droid is at row 24. It ignites its white energy blade.

You take the advice given to you by "Mr. Helpful":
'If you want to avoid the turbolifts, then just do what most Padawans do.' He points up at the open hatchway. 'Just cut through the rafters up there.'

So, you start climbing again, just as the training droid swings its blade at your feet. It doesn't miss by much. Even though Jedi don't believe in luck, your Luck Stat increases by one.
(+1 Luck = 2)

"You nerf herders! You're putting too much weight on the ladder!" Stiglaan proclaims.

> "Zolt! Help! This stupid droid is trying to end my pretty life!"
> slide down ladder, skillfully yet carefully
> when you hit bottom, ignite saber, tell training droid, "Hey droid! Come get it!"
> fend off droid with lightsaber
> if droid successfully fended off, close down saber and attach back to person when finished
> if droid not successfully fended off, run away, weeping
> if time, inspect mysterious item

 

You call to Stiglaan for assistance. "Zholt! Help!"

"Give back my controller, you THIEF!" Stiglaan shouts. (-1 Alignment: LIGHT SIDE +3) He starts to descend towards your position.

You need a TOTAL of 5 to pull this off. (Agility + Dexterity)
Your Agility Stat is 3 and your Dexterity Stat is 3. (3+3=6) You succeed.
(+1 Agility=4) (+1 Dexterity=4) Ladder Slide unlocked!

With above average proficiency, you begin to slide down the ancient wooden ladder. Unfortunately, and regardless of your extreme caution, you ram into the training droid that's blocking your way.

The droid is sent plummeting two and a half stories to the floor. A loud metallic clank is heard. Even though the droid's energy blade singed your left leg, you manage to hold on to the ladder and complete the skillful move. (HIT POINTS: 4 / 5)

Hitting the floor damages you as well, for you didn't break the fall using the Force. (HIT POINTS: 3 / 5) Despite your aching legs and feet, you ignite your lightsaber in all its cherry-tastic glory. "Hey droid! Come get it!" you challenge.

The training droid is still on the ground rebooting. "Threat detected," it says. The voice sounds male. He gets up, white energy blade still pulsing. However, there's no need to fend him off. You're positioned against the southern wall, while he's at the room's center.

Stiglaan Zholt is about halfway down the ladder with the intention to retrieve his stolen item. You can't run due to the throbbing in your legs. Instead, you jog away, weeping.

You have time to examine the mysterious object. It's a black, plasteel, handheld controller with just two buttons on the front. You suspect that it controls something remotely. (+1 Insight=3)

(BigAl6ft6 gains 2 points.)

 

> dry those tears, think happy thoughts of frolicking in the fields of Naboo with a brunette senator
> say "Hey! What does this do!"
> push button one, wait 15 seconds
> push button two, wait 15 seconds
> push button one and two simultaneously
> say "huh, I guess it does that!"

 

Stiglaan Zholt nears the bottom of the ladder. "Are you crying?" he inquires.

You've become quite emotional and can't stop the tears. (-1 Control = ZERO)
Quick Reference (Skill Meter: Unlocked Skills)
Above Average Proficiency- Awareness=8, Agility=4, Dexterity=4, Concentration=3, Perception=3, Insight=3, Stealth=2, Luck=2, Tenacity=1, Stamina=1
Average- Control=0
Below Average Incompetence- Strength=-1
Though you have no knowledge of the planet Naboo, you still think happily of frolicking through fields with a brunette senator.

The training droid approaches your position with white blade fluxing. Fortunately, the throbbing in your legs has subsided. "Hey!" you announce. "What does this do?"

Ten feet above the floor, Stiglaan motions towards you with an open hand. "Don't touch that!" he yells urgently.

You push the first button. The crude wooden ladder moves to the left in rapid fashion. It appears to be attached to a metallic track high above. (+1 Insight = 4) The angry Durosian hangs on tight as the ladder whisks him away to the east wall. He's now lined up with locker '10-01'. "You pitiful Padawan. You're as clumsy as you are eccentric!"

Now you wait fifteen standard seconds. Hanging onto the ladder, Zholt just glowers at you with red eyes. The hostile droid has arrived and takes a swing.

Your mynock-emblazoned armor shatters to pieces as the white energy blade makes hard contact. That 'friendly' Jedi Initiate gave you shoddy armor! He also made off with the tabard. What a scoundrel!
WARNING! (Defense Points = ZERO) You have 3 out of 5 HIT POINTS.

Even though you're being attacked, you push the second button. Naturally, the ladder transports Stiglaan all the way to the west wall. He's now lined up with locker '10-50'. "Give back my contoller, THIEF!"

Now you wait fifteen standard seconds... again. A follow-up swing from the training droid grazes your right arm. (HIT POINTS = 2 out of 5) You push both buttons simultaneously. The ladder returns to the central position. Stiglaan jumps off immediately and rushes towards you.

"Huh, I guess it does that!" you say.

You are standing near the southern wall. Stiglaan Zholt rushes at you from the wall, while the training droid prepares for another swing from the north. Your acquaintance, the Jedi Initiate, enters the storage facility again. This time, he's brought a pal.

 

> secure controller upon your person
> use saber on droid, "En garde!", Form IV,
> proceed until droid is no longer a threat. "Take that!"
>deactivate saber, secure upon person
> talk to sentient beings, "So.... how about that news on the holonet, eh? About criminals and stuff?"
> point to Jedi initiate "You gave me cheap armor that didn't work. I demand working armor in return!"

 

You stash the controller in your undertunic's hidden pouch.

As Stiglaan attempts to grab you, the training droid swings for your left forearm. You ignite your cherry-bladed saber and block the droid's attack with an Ataru stance. "En garde!"

Stiglaan, the Durosian Padawan, backs away from the active blades. The Jedi Initiate, now accompanied by a female Ortolan, eyes you suspiciously from across the storage facility.

The simplistic droid breaks the lock of blades. You move aggressively and focused, severing his weapon-equipped appendage. Sparks fly and the white energy blade is no more. Before the training droid can react, you slice through him with authority. The Way of the Hawk-Bat proves flawless, for two halves of droid clank to the floor. "Take that!" (+1 Agility = 5) (+1 Aggression = 2) (-1 Alignment = LIGHT SIDE: +2)
(Training Droid Defeated = 1 Point)

After hearing the satisfying hiss of your saber deactivating, you hear another lightsaber... igniting! Spinning around to face Stiglaan, you secure your hilt upon your utility belt. The Durosian stands before you with his activated blue-bladed lightsaber humming. He motions with one hand. "Give it here. The controller." He's had enough of your shenanigans.

"So... how about that news on the Holonet, eh? About criminals and stuff?" you say, making sure all three beings hear you.

"Enough," Stiglaan Zholt replies. "Hand over my remote."

You respond by pointing at the Initiate. "You gave me cheap armor that didn't work. I demand working armor in return!"

The Human Initiate and female Ortolan look at each other and laugh. They begin to converse indistinctly in Basic and the Ortolan's snout wiggles as she speaks.

The Star Wars Text Adventure - Update for 2019

Hello there. Due to the huge time gap, 'Game #2: The High Council' has been declared complete. A fresh game is ready once again, with simplified rules. Basically, they discard all the advanced statistics and attempt to emulate the earliest of interactive fictions. However, we'd like to encourage participation, so before commencement, let us know if you'd like to host an adventure of your own. In other words, Game #3 could be hosted by anyone. Even a team of hosts is acceptable. Once a game concludes (the players win or lose), the next host goes. Regardless of who hosts, the aim is to generate intrigue and fun through the power of imagination. Please copy and paste the signup log if you wish to host or play. Of course, this is just to get the ball rolling. Anyone can join afterwards.

Again, a brief overview for newcomers:
-This thread pays tribute to the days of interactive fictions and text adventures. What's the catch? The game takes place within the SW galaxy.
-Players use text commands to control characters and influence the simulated environment.
-During these games, players typically score points by figuring out puzzles, acquiring treasures, and defeating enemies.
-New rules can be introduced as a game progresses.
-To begin, anyone can post a text command. This is subject to change if players wish to 'claim' characters.
-Typing this prompt (>) indicates a command. Any other posting is considered out of character.
-Please keep in mind... the game has evolved with each page. Nothing is set in stone. It's a work in progress. Suggestions, feedback, and questions are always welcomed.
Remember, it's just a game. Let's keep the atmosphere light. Thanks, and 'May the Force be with us all.'

Okay! Let's start this madness. While some familiar characters may reappear, Game #3 is NOT a continuation of 'The High Council'.

Game #1 took place 12 ABY (New Republic Era).
Game #2 took place 35 BBY (Rise of the Empire Era).
Game #3 will take place...
2.5 ABY (Rebellion Era).

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…​

The Star Wars Text Adventure Game #3 - 'This Deal Is Getting Worse All the Time'
Prologue – 'Decisions and Possibilities'

BEGIN:
Holding Cell 66
You sit upon a cold, durasteel plank that protrudes from your prison cell's wall. You are facing the west side of the jail, where other beings of various species occupy their own planks. Looking around slowly, you realize that more prisoners are sharing the east wall with you. Shaking off an annoying dizziness, the environment becomes clearer. Six planks protrude from both the east and west walls. Most of the occupants are sleeping, or attempting to sleep, while a few sit on the floor with backs against their adjacent wall.

There are a dozen prisoners, including yourself. The cell is sizable, and the entire northern wall isn't a wall at all. It's an active ray shield, but the energy field glows with a strange greenish-blue tint. You haven't seen that before. Beyond the shield is another room housing an enormous metallic mechanism. Again, you haven't seen that before. The strange machinery seems to be generating the oddly colored field. A worker droid stands at the controls.

A crude, wooden chair is placed in the southeast corner of the prison cell. Suddenly, one of your cellmates taps you on the shoulder. Speaking Basic, she addresses you. "So... what's your story?"

Please Select Species: Cerean, Chiss, Duros, Human, Kel Dor, Mirialan, Nautolan, Ortolan, Rodian, Sullustan, Togruta, Twi'lek, Wookiee, Zabrak, or <random species>
(Don't be too concerned about your pick. You'll be able to cycle through these species later in the game.)

{Right now, all participants are playing as the same character. Therefore, the first person to post will get to choose the species.}

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Everyone is welcome to play. Anyone may post the first text command... just remember the prompt! (>) Typing multiple commands is allowed if you wish to make several moves. However, you'll lose the ability to react to occurrences between those actions.

Good Luck!

> Turn to the speaker and say softly: "I was running cargo from Nuba to Correllia. Minding my own business."
You see that there are several species represented. The speaker knows Basic, and as a Human, you do also.
>Get up and move towards the north wall.

 

You turn to your inquisitive cellmate and immediately recognize her as a Durosian. Still feeling a bit disoriented, you quietly answer. "I was running cargo from Nuba to Corellia. Minding my own business." The other ten prisoners don’t seem to take notice of your exchange.

You Have Selected: Human

The Durosian’s red eyes appear welcoming. “I can relate,” she responds, turning her noseless face away from you. She lets out a wearisome sigh.

Please Select Gender

You have to steady yourself as you get up from your uncomfortable plank. Your sense of direction is clearly off, but you manage to walk towards the active ray shield. Unbalanced, you drift towards the west wall a bit.

Now the other captives pay attention. Many of them stare at you with awkward, frightened looks. The Durosian seems particularly frazzled as you near the energy field. An apprehensive look is etched across her face.
