The force flows through Revan as he reaches out towards the web but instead of bending the strands start to vibrate.  They are not flexible as expected but almost glass like.

If you want to use the force to try and move the webbing or use it to toss rocks at it you will need to roll.  You have a Force Rating of 1 so you can roll one white Force die.

Lessons from the Past lead to Hidden Depths


Revan feels the force flowing through the rock and sends it rocketing towards the crystal web.  Shards of glitter rain down and a loud chime echoes down the tunnel.

As the web slowly breaks apart and falls to the passageway floor a blast of dread hits you. Your glowlight fades and darkness surrounds you.  You feel the force vibrating, swirling, around you.

You hear the faint sound of glass cracking behind you.  As you turn around you see your passageway blocked by a web growing into a crystal wall.

From around the corner, you hear a sinister voice.  "Strong in the force but blind to its true power"

Red light spills into the tunnel as you hear a lightsaber rush to life.

A slim, pale, humanoid step out to face you.  Its bald white face is illuminated by his red blade.  Black armor plates on his arms and shoulders are emblazoned with the Imperial insignia.

The Inquisitor never takes his eyes off of Revan.

Mata, with blinding speed, draws her blaster but it falls from her hands as she is lifted into the air gasping.  She claws at her neck attempting to breathe.

The Inquisitors unwavering eyes burn into you.

"So close to your precious crystal.  What would you do with it anyway?  You are weak and undeserving."  The Inquisitor mocks Revan.

Hate burns in the Inquisitors eyes.

"YOU are my concern.  I've scoured the galaxy eradicating Jedi and sensitive alike.  Your path has brought you to me."

You hear bones cracking as Mata gasps helplessly.

"I can feel your anger flowing through you.  What will you do with it?"

Revan takes a deep breath and let's his rage turn into a peaceful wave of the force flowing all around him. He can sense everything, it all seems to be in slow motion. Simultaneously using the force to throw grit and dust in the Inquisitors eyes and drawing his blaster aimed at the hand holding the light saber.

Lessons from the Past lead to Hidden Depths

The force flows through you extinguishing your anger.  The flame turns to a bright wellspring of power and as the pebbles raise to your command the Inquisitor fades before you.  Light returns to the tunnel and a ghostly figure in robes appears.

"These caves are strong with the force and it will test those that are also strong."  The hooded figure looks up at you.

"There is a balance to the force just as there is a balance in you.  Your bravery is balanced by your anger.  The force has tested your desire for the dark side and you have proven true to the light."

Lights of blue, green, and other colors start to sparkle behind the ancient Jedi.  Suddenly the walls of the tunnel fade away and you are standing in the middle of a great cavern.  Crystal formations of all sizes and colors jut from all angles.

"The Inquisitor you were tested against may not have been real but he exists, and more like him.  They will hunt you relentlessly - mad with the power of the dark side and supplied by the Emporer himself."

Mata examines the nearest crystal formation, clearly confused as to why she was walking down a dark tunnel one second and in the middle of a crystal cavern the next.

"The force calls to you and others like you.  Like these crystals, you are all different.  Your bravery and strength will be a constant star that others can follow."

The Jedi motions to the formations around you.

"Meditate and your crystal will be revealed.  Create your lightsaber and leave these caves the warrior the force has called you to be."

Well done passing your test.  You may now choose the color of your crystal and I will flip one of the Destiny points from light to dark to have all the necessary components with you needed to construct your lightsaber.  Pick your color and then we will roll for the construction

Destiny Points:  Light Side 0      Dark Side 1

Lessons from the Past lead to Hidden Depths


Seated on the cavern floor you empty your mind and focus on your breath.  Time passes freely until you open your eyes and find yourself standing before a large cluster of purple rubat crystals that seems to fill your vision.  And yet, despite the size and grandeur of the deposit before you, you realize only a slight ship of crystal is needed.  The inner glow of the rubat deposit seems focused at one point, which seems to sing out to you.  With care and patience, you are able to extract what you need without disturbing the growth of the other crystals.

With shard in hand you arrange the components of the lightsaber out before you.  Then holding the holocron you retrieved from the wreck of the Sanctuary you again fall into meditation.  As you focus on the task, one by one, the pieces rise into the air and find their alignment.

Constructing a lightsaber is either an average mechanic or knowledge(lore) check.  The holocron grants you level 3 Lore so your roll will be 2 purple, 2 yellow, 1 green, and 1 blue boost (since you have the Move force power)

All hilts have 5 hard points.
Choose what type of hilt you want:
Regular
Shoto (Short) like yodas  - gains Accurate 1
Double Bladed - gains Linked 1 and Unwieldy 3
Pike - kind of like the magnagaurds staffs - Cumbersome 3 and Defensive 1


The Rubat Crystal is similar in most respects to the Ilum Crystal.

Base Modifiers:
Installing this crystal changes a lightsabers base damage to 6 and critical rating to 2, and the lightsaber gains Breach 1 and Sunder weapon qualities.
Breach - ignore 1 point of armor for every breach rating
Sunder - target an opponents item to damage - requires 1 advantage to activate

Modification Options:
2 Item Quality (Vicious +1 per) Mods
4 Damage +1 Mods
1 Decrease the weapons crit rating by 1 to a min of 1

Hard Points Required: 2


Other Lightsaber Modifications:

Curved Hilt: Like Dookus - Adds automatic 1 advantage to successful hit when engaged with a single opponent - hard points required 1

Superior Hilt Personalization - Your own customizations to grip etc - Grants Superior Quality - Generates automatic 1 advantage on all checks related to its use and base damage is increased by 1.  hard points required 1

Extended Hilt - Increase damage by 1 - hard points required 1


You get to choose 2 modifications.  1 because you are building it and 1 due to your advantages rolled.

The components of the lightsaber drift together in front of Revan, locking into place through a coordinated sequence of maneuvers centered around the purple rubat crystal.

Once completed the large hilt slowly lowers into Revans outstretched hand.  Purple blades ignite out of each end as he opens his eyes.

Pretty impressive.  Now that you have what you came for we can get out of these caves, detonate some Imps, and get off this rock.

The captain told us to return to where he dropped us off.

The force leads you quickly out of the cave system.  You feel a renewed sense of strength as you leave this area that is strong in the Light side.

You easily traverse the Canyon chargers territory following paths marked by the scarred boulders.  A few of the great beasts keep a wary eye on you but that is all.

As you approach the ship from around the jutting rock formation that hides if from view, you find an unpleasant surprise waiting for you: Imperial troops, led by a stormtrooper commander.  As the stormtrooper turns towards the sound of your approach, you see the armor on the right side of his arm has been removed to expose a heavily plated cybernetic arm.

The stormtrooper commander turns to face you.

"You pathetic lot are all this ship dropped off?  I thought it was an actual Rebel strike team.  Too bad, I'd hoped to fight some real Jedi.  Don't worry, though.  You'll join their ranks soon enough."  His cybernetic arm twists suddenly, and he draws an oversized vibrosword with a speed you can scarcely follow.  You can feel his bloodlust and hate resonate through the force - negotiation is not an option.

This is a relatively open area near your ship.  Rock formations and treacherous scree covered slopes are scattered through the area.  There is a ledge overlooking a steep drop about 50 meters to your left.

A squad of three cavetroopers is positioned behind the commander about 50 meters to your front.

A second squad of three cavetroopers is guarding the ship about 50 meters to your right.

Cavetroopers are similar to scout troopers - specially trained and outfitted for underground deployment.

Roll for initiative using your Cool skill - 2 green.
