Dungeon Crawl level 1

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

After a nice long restful and relaxing time with my new Wookie, I bid him a fond farewell and meet the others in Port Etmar. They are discussing a transmission from Lord Baize where he has uncovered some interesting things in the basement which we had left in the hands of the Sisters of Battle to clean out. Some remarkably interesting Jedi artifacts and he wants our two Jedi to have the first look. We load up our firefly and my X-wing and head back there. We are met by Lord Baize and he tells us about the broken Jedi holocrons which had not been there when he checked the room a few years ago and then closed it. We head down to the basement and the Jedi go into full investigation mode. I loiter in the background and keep a close eye behind us as I am expecting something to happen. Nothing happens so I move closer to the columns to do a scan of one of them as well as the supposed natural wall behind wall to my left. The wall is actually natural and there are no secret doors or mechanisms inside it. When I scan the column, I discover a layer of sandstone that appears to be incredibly old and is probably the same age as the monastery or just a bit younger. However, behind that layer and behind the bricks that are not natural to this room is a much older stone layer that might be concrete or at least not natural materials and certainly not from this planet.
 
Vanya brings over some astrogation information and asks Spook and I to see if we can determine what or where the place is. She tells us that the map probably references a time period of 500 years in the past. Spook begins calculations and then she says it is probably more like five thousand years ago. Spook starts a new calculation and then tells me that is seems to refer to either Chalcedon itself or at least an area in the Chalcedon system, but she needs the rest of the equation to be sure.
 
We determine it is time to move to the next room. I don't have a way to shoor fire on the B'omaar if we find any, so Vanya asks the priestess if she has a spare pistol for me. She easily hands over one of her spares and then we follow So'Zen down a hallway that has some very weird looking skeletons in it. We continue on and enter a chamber lit by some yellow glowing crytals. There is this something about this room. It feels chilly in unusual patches I can't explain. I think you hear a voice here and there, like from a busted comlink nearby, but I don't see one anywhere close in the room. So'Zen and Reese investigate a few of the medical beds and determine that there are bodies in some of them, but bodies without any brains. So'Zen decides that he needs to see them so we can figure out who they were and if we can help them in some way. Sadly, this sets off an alarm and suddenly there several of scuttling spider droids coming towards us. I turn and fire at one coming up behind us and my new little pistol shoots out a cone of blue flame which goes through the droid and seems to burn it from the inside out. It is still coming towards me, but there are flames coming from the joints and it is not moving easily. It finally collapses into a pile of mostly melted goo.
 
I turn to see another of the little beasties in front of me to the left so I aim and fire. It was apparently in the process of rebooting and comes alive just in time to attempt to move out of my line of fire. I still manage to hit it in the middle of it's body and it melts into another puddle of goo. I think I might like this gun - wonder what a good name would be? Another one drops out of the ceiling and fires at me, but I step to the side and the bolt flies by harmlessly. I turn to fire back, but the new pistol has overheated. It glows white at the end of the barrel and then I hear a chime as it goes into cooldown mode. At least I still have my heavy blasters. The one who gave me the pistol fires and the spider melts into another puddle and with a smell of burned electronics filling the room, there is a momentary peace.
 
What could possibly be next????
