STARLIGHT Blood or Force (Episode 10)

Force Backfire Tutaminis
Description: Tutaminis was an umbrella title used by the Jedi Order to classify Force abilities related to energy absorption. Designated as one in a family of Control abilities, tutaminis techniques were taught to Jedi Initiates within the Jedi academy throughout the history of the Order. While taught to all Jedi during the days of the Galactic Republic, it was a rare feat to be capable of dissipating concentrated energy such as what makes up a blasterbolt or lightsaber blade. While it was named and practiced by the Jedi Order, tutaminis was not restricted to use by Jedi.
Ranks: 1/2/3
Cost: 30 Story Points per rank or 3 Feat Point per rank
Requirements: (Rank1 WIS10), (Rank2 WIS15), (Rank3 WIS20) and equivalent Force Tutaminis Rank
Use: Force Defense DC + Force Defense Total Rank + Full Wisdom Bonus vs dps and attack DCs
Gameplay: Connect with the Force to use force barriers and shield
yourself or a target from energy damage. For example if DPS is 15 and ABS is 10,
you suffer 5HP damage and ABS is destroyed. If DPS is 10 and ABS is 30, you suffer
no damage and you have left 20 ABS more until the duration of Force Power Ends.
ABS aka Absorption persists until canceled or until its duration ends or until its being
destroyed. Tutaminis will not block physical attacks. You need separate rolls if protecting allies.
All damage that hits ABS can be used to backfire with same energy source, or to be converted
into TK or Force Heal. Points are split by will of the user through the party and enemies, healing
points ignore DC, but healing points work only if you have the equivalent Force Heal rank.

Satele takes back her full form from the mist while performing final strikes at Darth Jadus. As they duel they make a short pause because they notice Vigilance Beacon through the window, landing in the Core Hangar. But the pause was short and the duel continued. Satele knocks Jadus' lightsaber out of his hand and then with spin dives her staff saber into his stomach. She then uses Jadus' own dark side of the Force that she absorbed with tutaminis, the force Lighting, and unleashes it at Jadus, channeling it through her staff hilt and her saber beam into Jadus body, that begins to shake with inhuman speed and smoke from the energy: "You should have trust my wisdom. I told you that I sensed how the dark side of the Force will be your doom. And when I warned you, I literally meant that your own dark side of the Force will be your doom. Embrace the peace when you merge with the Force." Satele pulls out her staff saber and shields herself with hands as Jadus' body overloads from the force lighting, and this dark side of the Force is what Jadus' body could not control, his body explodes, separating his legs, arms and heads from the body and all his physical form evaporates into dark side mist and then into nothing. When Satele lowers her hands down to relaxy, the core generator is before her, and all the essences trapped inside it, prepared to feed the Emperor's Force Spirit.

Core Reactor


Jag and Sicilia finally arrived but since Jadus was already defeated before phase 3/3 could start. Inside this core a lot of Force Energy is collected, many essences of sith and jedi that were unable to merge with the Force and find peace because they were captured with Exar Kun's holocron. The holocron is installed inside the console of the Core Reactor, this place belonged once to Ancient Civilization but Jadus obviously made modifications to fit his personal needs. Destroying the holocron would release all essences from the eternal suffer and pain but will also overload the core and entire mountain construction can explode, destroying all the technology stored here that could be used. Activating the Holocron will feed the Emperor with possibility to give resurrect him to physical form, but few essences are missing, Satele's and Nightingale essences. It is unknown what could happen. Taking Exar Kun holocron adds item to your inventory that you can use to capture force spirits and summon them in battle to aid you, or extract the powers they knew in life and transfer them to yourself.

Satele's Options:

1. Destroy Exar Kun Holocron
2. Activate Exar Kun Holocron
3. Take Exar Kun Holocron

Sicilia arrives there with Jag seeing the destruction, looking around she incredibly sees no one in need of immediate medical attention. Spotting Master Satele near the reactor she remembers what Barracudas said to her. "STOP!" She shouts to her. "Get away from that thing. Barracudas is not here with us. If that thing goes critical she will die! She has no way out, we need to regroup first, Jag is the only one of us that knows the way out. If you go through with your plan to destroy this mountain then you condemn her to death!"

Barracudas activated the tank and with it thousands and thousands of droids inside the mountain. They open fire at everyone in core room.

Satele rises her lightsaber to destroy the holocron, but she stops in mid swing as Sicilia shouts. And when the droids overwhelm the core room and open fire, Satele uses her lightsaber to deflect the bolts, and is pushed out of holocron reach. Because Sicilia interfered, only she has the opportunity now to decide the fate of Holocron, everyone else is busy with battling the droids, creating path of Jag to lead towards the Vigilance Beacon.
