The first, oh, nine-point-five hours out of ten were very low on the Party Unity scale. First big argument of the day was whether to neutralize--er, rescue Dral on Ischar or follow what appeared to be an intercepted communication from Trisk and hunt the doppelganger queen on Endor. We jumped in Zahn's ship and went to Ischar, not knowing an Imperial cruiser and fighter complement were there. Oops. We ran for the planet, evaded tractor beams (no thanks to Crappy the Die), and destroyed 12 fighters. Six of them fell to deadly 71, the ion engine failure, which Dave alone rolled five times.
Technically we were supposed to do something stealthy ("You know your ship can land in water, right?") and infiltrate the garrison to grab Dral, but what we actually did was fly right up to the garrison and Blow Shit Up like crazy. GM Mike tried to stop the carnage but we insisted that there was yet more Shit to Blow Up and we would not rest until it was all properly exploded. And there was, and we didn't.
Part of the "stealth" mission to Blow Shit Up involved majestic herds of Jedi running across an open garrison perimeter while advancing a giant anti-E-web wall of dirt ahead of them. Navi lept into action, Krussik said something important but the Jedi didn't pay attention, and Millenia had an embarassingly bad day at the office.
Dral was liberated and it was off to Endor, where a strange signal was detected on the far side of the planet. The ship landed on--well, in--an Ewok burial mound. Oops. It was promptly reparked in a lake. A nature hike was had, but the quiet evening by the campfire was spoiled when Darn went to freak out Ewoks and start forest fires. (He does this sort of thing, y'see.) Except a bounty hunter sniper kicked his ass, so off we went to save him and put out the fire by unloading a cargo bay's worth of lakewater on his head.
Six X-Wings appeared. Six Starblight X-Wings. So Zahn said hello. With torpedoes. Navi pleaded for peaceful negotiation (i.e., handing Darn over) but everyone else was too busy kicking X-Wing ass to listen. We also not-so-secretly hoped that crashed X-Wings would destroy the forest and all the Ewoks in it.
Five downed X-Wings later, with 30 more on the way, Darn gave himself up to the Starblight bounty hunters. (He didn't have to, really; we could've activated the hyperdrive.) Second major argument ensued as everyone was displeased by the bounty hunter's antics, apart from Navi. But their boss felt her up once, so hey. Still, Darn gave up Xard's location and was released, Shino tried to win a Zahn Torpedo Diplomacy Award by mispronouncing "Goodbye, Captain Thorn" as "Fucking cocksuckers", more argument took place over where to go and just who'd really been responsible for Darn's release, and back to Kamino we went. Sadly the Ewok population was left largely intact, and the queen hunt was abandoned. Oh well.
On Kamino, in what should have been a wrap-up briefing with the NPCs, all hell broke loose. Shino, Darn, Krussik, the Tolans, and Zahn argued with Xard while Navi (as usual) looked on in dismay. Darn, whose contribution to the discussion began with "You're fucking crazy" and ended when he walked out on an infuriated Xard, was promptly hunted by the Jedi. Xard found him and brought the Dark ruckus. He was about to finish Darn off when Zahn barreled down the corridor and, in an awfully heroic (if suicidal) gesture, threw himself between Xard and the now unconscious Darn.
Sure, Zahn got beat down but he did stun Xard for one round, by which time we'd all caught up, and Navi gave Xard the ol' lightsaber stabby-stabby. As Xard dropped dead, we turned around to see Ryuya and Sela do the same, stabbed in the back by Ryx. And that's how it ended, because Dave had to kick us out and go see LXG.
