Trail Runs Cold

It was too long, but we finally got the gang together for another RPG session.  Recapping the last episode was easy - this blog.  For those of you just tuning in - we ended a pretty epic two part mission involving the rescue of a bionic woman named Cratala.  

We were rewarded with payment of a promise of information pertaining to Dr. Jorbis Kane's murder mystery.  But before we could obtain the data - we were pursued by yet another Star Destroyer and its Tie-Fighters.  A lot of die rolling and some ACE galactic warfare, we managed to escape and claim the doctor's precious prize.

Cloud City bound - we were on the trail of a possible killer.  His name - Skarr.  The long voyage allowed us to heal our wounds and devise a game plan.  Upon arrival - we were directed to a lower landing bay dock.  This made getting up to the apartment levels very difficult and very expensive.  

The group decided to break into Skarr's pad after their attempts to contact him fell on deaf ears.  Griff kept look out as the Doctor and Cardhu investigated.  A grizzly discovery - Skarr's lifeless body lie in a pool of blood in a all too familiar scene.   The Doctor revealed his wife's body was found in a similar fashion - results of her murder investigation confirmed an execution.

Outside the apartment, Cloud City Guards along with Stormtroopers detained Griff who wasn't able to talk her way out of a bad situation.  To keep her allies safe - she reluctantly was led to the detention center.  Some timely rolls of the die got her out of trouble - but just barely.

This bought the others time to rummage through the apartment for clues.  The only hard find was Skarr's datapad.  Decrypting it and learning its secrets  revealed that Skarr briefly knew the Doctor's father-in-law.  Information about a rare and life threatening disease which the Doctor's wife contracted as well as vague coordinates to the planet Mrlsst were also learned.  Mrlsst according to Skarr's accounts - was visited frequently by the father.
