Phil, Rod, Carson and Rob, and Bel (for a bit) continued the D&D adventure from a few weeks ago today (Sat 1/20).
The success of the party was not a certain, sure thing. If Joseph hadn't seen past the illusions of the Vision Chambe; and if he had not asked Cuthbert "15 questions," the group might have been too weakened by wandering encounters by the end to deal with the final encounter with the vampire titans, and would not have destroyed their coffins prior to fighting them later. Without the mighty Taito's monster-killing fists, the entire party could easily have been defeated in any one of many battles against colossal two headed cerburus undead puking dogs, titan skeletons, a zombie dragon, colossal spiders, golems and of course vampire titans. Had Revan not slain the dragon Grizlok in his new undead form (yes, a second time), and generally been so studly, things could have gone differently. Were it not for Were-Rat's green-skinned fighter and Lola's whirling blades, the party might still have been victorious... or maybe not in the closer encounters. Black-Eyed Bill's, Daybill's and Telpin's party-buffing encouragement over the course of the adventure definitely helped. Fergus' spell support and Geena's and Mick the Gangly's ranged support certainly made a difference as well, helping the party deal not only with enemies but boiling blood, scrying globes, illusions, and vampire coffin soil.
Yet it was a goblin rogue named Blip the Forsaken, whom the party helped long ago, who possibly saved the whole party in the end by destroying the anti-magic field in Avalos Gemini's throne room. He had slipped into the floating castle ahead of the party and befriended three kobolds whom he convinced to provide a bit of extra help.

Star Wars Sun. Jan. 7 '07
Noon to 6 pm we played Star Wars the whole session. Phil, Carson, Robby, Jon and Rod all made it, Bel joined us for a bit and we consumed the usual tableful of coffee, snacks and sodas.
On the war-torn world of Beliray, the Hutt-rebel alliance fighters in the city of Ertiston received an arms shipment from a group of Hutt mercenaries flying a strange, aquatic non-Seinar freighter with Seinar Corp. markings (Akbar's Trap). The ship was attacked by Imperial vessels and damaged, but managed to deliver over 1,000,000 cr. worth of weapons, netting a tidy profit of 275,000 cr. to split amongst themselves--if they could help fend of the Empire for the three days needed for repairs to their ship.
Each of them went to work immediately upon landing in the middle of the war zone, where stormtroopers and Hutt/rebels fought building to building. Destro snuck into an Imperial H.Q. building, where he jacked into the computer so Jarn Thro could hack droids for a diversion while Destro set charges. Jaina Briel fought stormtroopers in the streets and looted wherever possible, eventually hotwiring an AT-ST walker. Garik Gracus, after brokering the weapons sale with The Spike, went back to help repair his ship. JP-12 "Jackpot" got a protective oil bath, then installed himself with the Imperial commissary concession machines as a caffeinator, then rendered all the equipment (including the 50 or more Stormtrooper armor/uniforms of those who were dining there) obselete by vaporizing his large pot of brown paintlike "brew." Pieda Bowman II set up a triach center, MASH unit and hospital station to treat the many wounded; ultimately he was able to install a Bacta tank on the ship, a highly valuable gift to the party from the grateful Vratix natives. Mike Skaruyabutavich fixed the ship--a day early. Forlorn Sky was the sole survivor of an attack on an Imperial hovertank over a block wide that was ultimately destroyed by orbital turbolaser fire from an Imperial Star Destroyer, the blast was diverted away at an angle by one of the systems the party had delivered earlier to the city of Ertiston, and right into the giant tank, vaporizing it instantly. Archu King fired the grounded ship's weapons mercilessly at all enemies who came within range. The Trandoshan Jedi Drael Gracks fought and defeated large numbers of stormtroopers after cutting into their barracks with his light saber. Though some of the party were wounded, all survived.
Experience: 4,500
Ship fund info: Beliray system Notes: see above
Trade profit: 275,000 cr. Repair/fuel expenses: 43,000 cr.
Offloaded: "defensive systems" Cargo purchased: none
Other: Loaded Bacta tank, AT/ST Walker
Next session: Sunday, January 21 at noon
P.S.: I'm thinking 10am on a Saturday at Old Town Hobby in the next couple months for another Magic booster draft, but I need to check with everybody first.
