Star Wars: Rise of the Battlemage - Chapter 254
We settled in for the ride, a trip across the city to where the Starcaller was landed. Part of me wondered if Mara had planned some sort of attack, something to convince us that we needed to move as fast as possible, but as we drove, eventually pulling into the ship berth, no such attack took place.
The ride was quiet an...

As we left the cover of the connection tunnel behind, all three of us pulled off our helmets and took a long, deep breath. A combination of the shining sun and deep, crisp, fresh air was invigorating in a way that was hard to put into words. The Solar Powered perk might also have been in play as well, filling us with refreshing waves of v...

Together, Jackie and I tore through the R&D section of the facility, walking through several labs and demolishing the Maelstrom hiding within them. Their forces were scattered and disorganized, stuck between trying to retreat and hunker down for cover. Neither of them would have done them any good, but trying to somehow do both made them easy ...

After apologizing to Kali for hurting her trees and spending a few minutes fixing them, I spent some time practicing with my new toy. After struggling for several hours, all the way through the early morning, I finally got a good grip on the process, well enough that, after saying goodbye to everyone, I took off and flew into the city. It was st...

As I entered the large room, both Cal and Mara spun towards the sound of our footsteps, Mara aiming her weapon in our direction while Cal whipped out his own blaster and saber. I could also see a small droid peaking over his shoulder, riding on his back. The droid ...

We arrived at our target planet two days later, having spent most of that time familiarizing ourselves with the area and the planet itself. Or rather, we familiarized ourselves with the moon itself. Our target was called Nalux-4, a large moon orbiting a blue gas giant. Its atmosphere was breathable, and the moon's primary source of income wa...

Waking up the next morning, with our new perk in full effect, was an… interesting experience. I could feel the added strength, though not in a direct, physical way. My muscles didn't feel more dense, and I wasn't suddenly cut like a dehydrated movie star. But I could feel the strength in my body, feel it pushing and pulling as I moved....

When we finally stepped out of the elevator, we were greeted by several self-driving golf cart-esque vehicles, each with enough room for two people and cargo. We climbed on board, and Samwise entered a destination into the vehicle's navigation system. Moments later, the vehicle pulled away at a surprisingly fast speed, startling a few of us in the process.&...
2025-08-06 15:24:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe first step in creating my demo loadout for this Endbringer slaying army was to work through the long list of options I had compiled over the last few weeks. Most of these ideas were barely thought-out scribbles, things I came up with to demonstrate my flexibility while also showcasing my mass production capabilities. While I wouldn't be mass-producing this batch, I needed to go into the des...
2025-08-05 14:51:13 +0000 UTC View PostAs Amescoll described the woman he had seen, a sinking sensation started to form in the pit of my stomach. It was the description of her not being dark, despite being Force sensitive and working for the Empire, that really caught my attention. As far as I knew, only one woman had been labeled in that manner explicitly.
"I really hope I'm not right about this," I muttered to myself, shakin...

"I suppose what they say is true," She eventually said, shaking her head. "The best leaders are those who don't want to lead."
My brow wrinkled as I looked at her in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant. Although, in general, I did agree with her statem...

We continued to discuss our land purchasing plans, describing possible builds that would go in different places. It was more of a creative discussion than anything concrete, since Noah, who wasn't there, had a significant say in what sort of buildings we could make, and why. It was his specialty, after all.

While we were on a bit of a tight schedule, I couldn't resist the urge to climb into one of the J-types and have a look around. These ships were known for being nearly handmade from the ground up, and you could feel it with every step and breath you took as you walked through the starship. Everything was crisp, clean, and precise, with no deviations and no margin for error. This unarmed, diplom...

Sure, but this wasn't some fairy tale, wher...

Technically, my day was free, since New Wave was handling the patrols around the Empire's old territory, making minor busts and cracking down on any thugs trying to throw their weight around. That left me time to meet with the PRT, as well as Weaver.

Sitting down with Carlos had a dual purpose. For one, it allowed us to fill him in on what we were doing, what our primary goals were, and some of what we were hoping would come up in the HQ quest system.
