ACT IV

This adventure takes place after Return of the Jedi

The Devronian Gestalt are an enigma Beyond the Blood Drift. For several millennia their pact with the Blood Emperor has stood firm prohibiting anyone, even the Blood Emperor's Peace-Keepers, from entering their sector of the Blood Drift.

Now the treaty could be broken as a plea for help leads Blood Empress Tetris Bloodaxe into Gestalt territory.

Tetris, Bail Ohmar, Livia & Ares track a pirate frigate to a small moon, one of many moons orbiting a gas giant.

There they discover small cave homes carved into the rocky landscape, but at first find no one around. Their search leads them underground where a mysterious human gentleman greets them and leads them, to the inner sanctum. They pass several Devronians and are soon led into a large hall with a couple of dozen people. Bail says his heat readings pick up no body temperature leading Tetris to correctly surmise they have been led into a Vampire trap!

The leader of the vampires, of the Gestalt, introduces himself. Spike, a two thousand year old vampire. Spike tries to offer a deal and charm Tetris, but she doesn't fall for it. He even offers information, informing Tetris about the recent destruction of the second Death Star and the death of the Emperor and Darth Vader. Tetris still refuses any deals. Spike therefore resorts to force and bites Tetris. But Spikes plan to dominate the Bloodaxe Queen backfires, her blood is poisonous to him. Soon Diotrophies of the Dragon Guard arrives and explains that Spike was cursed by a Bloodaxe Sith Lord centuries ago, the blood of a pure blood Bloodaxe would be poison to his kin. Spike doesn't understand claiming he has watching the Bloodaxe line end several generations ago. Tetris keeps to herself the fact that the Bloodaxe lineage was passed down through the women, not the men!

Spike tries to flee using the Mist of Ravenloft, but Tetris's mind is too strong. But at the moment her mind touched Ravenloft she sensed a great evil not far from her own world of Gar.

Domain of Evil
The following adventure hook was modified from the WEG D6 adventure Domain of Evil.

After a stop off at Archeron, capital world of the Blood Drift, then a night on Gar, Tetris, Jo'din, Achilles and Taurus head to the planet that Tetris sensed.

The planet is a cold, wet swamp world with few land masses. Taurus manages to pilot the ship safely through a storm and settles the ship into the swamp.

The trek through the swap is tough. It is getting dark and the rain has not relented. Occasionally the Warriors cross a small landmass, but soon they find themselves wading through swamp water.

Tetris sees a primitive being in the distance beckoning her onwards. Tetris tries to get nearer to him, but he remains ahead and Tetris finds herself separated form the party. Tetris is soon attacked by a Rancor monster! And the others are in trouble too. Taurus fights off a vicious Gundark while Jo'din helps Achillies who has been entangled by a Dianoga. Oddly, these creatures faded to nothing once defeated, but the wounds they make leave the party very exhausted.

The warriors push on, but the next foes are more evil, the Four Dark Jedi of the Apocalypse. Four ancient decaying evil forms wielding lightsabers that don't look quite right. Nevertheless they are deadly foes. Tetris and Taurus are injured, Jo'din defeats one in combat, it fades into nothing! Eventually Taurus defeats one of the Dark Jedi and the others fade with it.

Continuing without Jo'din Tetris discovers an island and a cave. Upon entering the cave the party are hit with illusions, dark tests they must pass...

Achillies
He finds himself at the controls of a Chakram Starfighter ina battle defending Gar from attacking TIE fighters. Two TIEs remain but they are damaged, their engines on fire they flee towards the planet.
"Destroy them!" orders Tetris over the comm, "Don't let them get away."
Achillies obeys and destroys the TIE fighters.
Achillies has failed the test and gains a Dark Side Point.

Tetris finds herself in a medieval great hall with a banquet seemingly in progress. The table is surrounded by odd looking bug-eyed creatures. Cure little creatures sit in cages on the table, smiling making soothing 'cooing' sounds. One of the bug-eyed creatures reaches into a cage, pulls out one of the cute creatures and eats it!
Another bug-eyed creature offers Tetris one of their delicacies.
Tetris glares at the alien, "Get that thing the hell away from me!"
Tetris has failed the test of diplomacy and gains a Dark Side Point.

Ares finds himself on a space station marching towards him are three Imperial Officers escorting two prisoners. Ares recognised one of the prisoners as a Rebel agent. They are marching towards an Imperial Shuttle. From down the corridor six Stormtroopers are running in their direction.
Ares catches the eye of the Rebel agent who shakes his head. Ares realises that it's a ploy and the Imperial Officers are also agents. To buy them time Ares engages the Stormtroopers.
Ares passes the test.

Tetris. Castle Gar. With the Emperor and Darth Vader dead Tetris can now proceed her plan to take over the remnants of the Empire. But the Rebels can stop her. Jo'din and Athena have been dealing with the Rebels, they have the information that can sweep aside the Rebel Alliance, but refuse to give the information to Tetris.
Tetris has the choice, negotiate on peaceful terms with the Rebels and drop plans of becoming Empress, or punish Jo'din & Athena to gain the information.
The choice for Tetris is easy. Jo'din & Athena are bound, stripped, and humiliated physically and sexually.
Tetris has failed another test and gains another Dark Side Point.

Tetris now finds herself facing Haalgard, a withered Sith Apprentice discarded by Darth Sidious many years ago in favour of a young Zabrak. In the room lies a chained unconscious Jo'din.

Haalgard explains the Dreambeasts were mere projections of his mind. his death is close, but he offers Tetris glory. Take his life, embrace the Dark Side, for that is the only way she will be able to take control of the Empire. If she embraces the Light she will not be able to combat the Rebels who would disband the Empire for the former glory of the Old Republic. He even offers Tetris a bargaining tool against the Rebels, Princess Leia Organa.

Tetris ponders her choices, then makes her decision. Tetris kill Haalgard. The Sith disappears and the Warriors appear back by their ship.

Returning the Gar and Castle Bloodaxe Tetris finds that Haalgard had not lied as she had thought, he had delivered Princess Leia.

The prisoner, Leia, is brought before the Bloodaxe court where Tetris demands Leia help her keep the Rebels from opposing her. Leia refuses, infuriating Tetris.

"Strip her!" orders Tetris, a command Terri Lexgar is only too willing to comply with, stripping Princess Leia naked for the whole court to see.  Leia tries to resist but is overpowered

"Now, your highness," grins Tetris, "I'm sure I can think of something to humiliate you enough to change your mind into co-operating.  And Jo'din, I can sense your disapproval, you'll be joining the entertainment!"  Terri takes great pleasure in stripping the blue skinned twi'lek naked.

Tetris has began her journey down the path of the Dark Side.
