"Damn, I thought you'd sleep the whole flight."

You look to your left and find an old man with a cane sitting beside you. He has an incredibly long beard and shaggy hair that communicates that above all other things, this man needs to shower.

"What's your story anyway kid? I've never known great Jedi as great nap takers," he says with a wink.

compromise? they got farms on Iridonia?

>>697187
Apparently Iridonia doesn't spin, so one side of the planet is stuck facing toward the sun, and the other side is stuck facing away, and the Zabrak are all stationed around the equator of the planet, which is the only spot that can support life. Their farms go about 100km toward the night side of the world, but all the farm work is handled by machines. I think that means that a "farmer" on Iridonia would primarily be a maintenance engineer keeping the machines running.

>>697172
>>697173
>>697187

"Iridonia. I thought you might have known, considering the horns," you say feeling the jagged top of your head as you say this.

"Oh, I've heard Zabrak make better Sith than Jedi, you know," the old man replies, a hint of a mocking smile tickling his lips.

"I've heard old men are racist," you reply quickly.

The old man bursts out laughing for a minute, drawing the attention of the rest of the shuttle.

"Ehhehe, kid, I like you," he says with a large, warm smile, "What'd you do on Iridonia anyway? A pilot I assume, or a mechanic?"

"A farmer, actually," you reply cooly. You'd call him racist again but farms are actually so rare on Iridonia that you don't blame him.

Your stomach lurches into your skull as the ship slows its descent, touching the ground with a heavy thud.

"Looks like we're here," says the old man, calmly as he gets up to exit the shuttle. "I'm Sarif Retsma, by the way."

"I'm..."

“I’m Paxious Dromus,” you tell him, “Hope to banter again soon.”

As the old man exits the shuttle, he says to you, “Why wait?” and walks forward into an open field that you’ve landed in. As the potential students begin to pile out, his voice rises above them.

“Ladies and gentlemen! I am Jedi Master Sarif Retsma! I am here to measure your raw potential in the force, your skill in combat, and your wisdom!”

A series of murmurs come from the come from the crowd of possible padawans.

“Is that homeless dude crazy?”

“Whoa, a real live Jedi!”

“Well, looks like I’m gonna fail.”

Out of nowhere, the Twi’lek mechanic from the shuttle puts a hand on your shoulder and hold a vibrosword out in front of you.

“Luckily, I have a volunteer for the first tester! Paxious Dromus! Please step forward!” As he says this, he activates a yellow lightsaber and raises it toward you.

>>697430
>> Take the vibrosword and ready yourself for combat.
If the grip permits it, let's do this two-handed. We're about to fight a jedi master, so there's no way we're winning this bout; we may as well swing hard and make our fight memorable for that. Hopefully we know a little shii-cho, so we can actually look somewhat like we know what we're doing.

“So this is some kind of measure of character?” you say, taking the vibrosword and shrugging.

“You hit the rancor on the head, kid,” says Master Retsma with a grin.

Gripping the sword with two hands, you remember the basic combat forms taught to you by your father. You didn’t get these tattoos on your face for nothing. They were a rite of passage after becoming adept at Iridonian martial arts.

“Oh, and no student is permitted to enter the circle until it is their turn,” says Retsma.

Circle?

You look around and notice that around you and Master Retsma, a circle or small pebbles and rocks has formed. A female student with bright blonde hair kicks one of the rocks with a childish giggle only to gawk as the rocks move back to the circle as if held there magnetically.

This is the Force.

You begin to circle your opponent.

he can force us on the defensive if he want but only of our own free will we can show what we're worth on the offensive.

> You’ve got to be as unexpected as possible. Try to headbutt him once he gets in close.

>>697513
> You’ve got no chance against a Jedi Master. Maybe he won’t expect you to charge
Master Retsma is a jedi master; he can probably feel a few seconds into the future. Nothing we do here will beat him. Rather than try to win this fight, we would do much better to make a show of it and entertain the crowd.

You charge.

This is a Jedi Master you’re facing. It’s not like you could put up any reasonable defense anyway.

With two hands on the blade, you raise it to be even with your head and charge.

Retsma swats your blade aside, but with the two-handed grip you’ve chosen, you’re quicker to bring it back up for a second strike. Retsma blocks this, still holding his lightsaber in a single hand and not looking directly at you, his mind seemingly someplace else.

A good way to get his mind back on you would be to hit it with yours. Really hard.

You manage to shove his lightsaber down with your sword hard enough to get an opening. There’s a gasp from the crowd as they realize what’s about to happen. Zabrak heads aren’t known for their softness.

You swing your head into his chin with all your strength only for you to feel your feel pushed out from under you. Retsma kicked you in the shins hard enough that, combined with the momentum from your headbutt, your head hits the grass with a loud thud.

You look up to see Master Retsma standing over you with a smile. He isn’t pointing his lightsaber at you, but he also hasn’t closed it. You aren’t sure if the match is over or not.

Master Retsma should be able to handle two fighters, and looking dumb with a friend is better than looking dumb alone.

You’re not done just yet!

You grab a fistful of dirt and throw it at the Jedi Master, hoping to catch him by surprise. While you do this, you lash out with your foot, hoping to return the favor of bruised shins to him, but you completely miss. He didn’t even dodge.

Recovering, you roll to the side rather slow and awkwardly since you have bruised shins and your foot was extended at an odd angle from your failed kick. You get up off the ground and raise your sword, only for it to slip from your hands for a moment. You secure your grip on it and take a defensive stance.

Retsma stands there looking unhappy.

“You got dirt in my beard, Paxious,” he says in an unamused tone, his smile replaced by a slightly perturbed frown.

A small chuckle echoes through the crowd.

“I don’t see any of you helping me!” you yell out to them.

To your surprise, you see a single person enter the circle. A male Miraluka steps across the stones. He is skinny, to the point of looking unhealthy.

Master Retsma takes one look at him and says, “One at a time, please,” and uses the force to push him back out of the circle.

Except, the Miraluka stays where he is.

Retsma pushes a bit harder. Still, he doesn’t budge.

What do you do?

This looks interesting.

You lower your sword and study the Miraluka boy who is managing to stand up to a Jedi Master.

With a heavy sigh, Retsma says, “Oh, I like this one quite a bit. What’s your name?” he says to the boy.

The boy does not answer, his teeth gritted and his fists clenched, resisting the Jedi Master.

“You’re never gonna win like that, boy! You’ve got to relax. Don’t resist with your body, with your emotions. Resist with will and nothing else. Your emotions, your muscles, your senses, those are just distractions. If you want to take a step forward, it’s your will through the Force that will allow you to,” he says.

The boy opens his mouth, gritting his teeth a bit longer as he begins to get pushed back, inch by inch.

“Well, good job all the same to you. You seem like a real natural,” says Master Retsma before the boy is pushed all the way back out of the circle where he falls on his knees, breathing heavily.

Retsma turns to face you, “Thanks for your patience. And for doing the honorable thing and waiting for me to get done. Then again, in battle, the honorable thing is rarely the way to victory.”

“Now,” he says, dusting off his beard, “Those were some solid attacks before I knocked you down. Let’s see about your defense.”

Not a second later, he’s on top of you, lightsaber raised high, ready to strike downward.

>TO BE CONTINUED

I’ll stick around for questions. What do you guys think of the quest so far? I’ve got to work on developing individual voices for each character but considering I was writing a lot of them on the fly, this went pretty well.

>>697999
The quest is rather entertaining so far! The only real question I can think to ask is whether or not you're willing to put together a Discord server for this?

>>698014
Eh, probably not. I'll use my old QM twitter account for this and have a character sheet on a google doc if we need one.

oh, also: https://twitter.com/KidQm

Then again, is Discord a lot better of a platform for communicating with people on here? If enough people prefer it to twitter, I'll just do that then.

>>697999
Damn can't believe i missed this.
This seems to be going well so far. Just take some time and write down any ideas you have, nomater how stupid they seem at the time. They could lead to some good ones.
Also just stick to a schedule, that is really the only thing I ask from a QM.

>>698034
Don't worry, I've got a long-term plot thought out already with a couple side-quests to go along with it.
As for schedule, I'm a busy guy, but Saturdays and Thursdays are generally clear.

>>698033
Discord is instant in terms of communications, and it has plenty of features for one user in charge of things to let all other users on the server know what's going on. I can't say whether Twitter or Discord is better, as I only use one, but Discord is certainly viable and there's a dedicated server for QMs only.

Since I'm mentioning that, I may as well link it: https://discord.gg/WPuSjd2

>>697846
Why the hell don't I ever get your tweets?
i have it set to notifie on all but my phone never beeps. Then I see a new thread and go look at see that you tweeted it out four days ago.
I goddam hate Twitter.
>>698044
That's more than fine, all I ask is if you can't make a time tell us, I have seen many qms just up and vanish (you know who you are, Brine).

So, anyone have justification for a Dark Jedi laid out?

>>698168
I would rather a grey jedi, personally.

>>698168
Well, Iridonia was a major battle site during the war between the Empire and the Republic and Zabraks generally have a warrior culture that gels better with the Sith than the Jedi.

>>698178
Grey Jedis have had their story told in Revan, I haven't seen a Dark Jedi besides a Sith's apprentice and a crazy clone. Imagine a Jedi Master who uses the Dark Side, while following the Jedi beliefs and code.

>>698186
Reading the wookiepedia entry on Dark Jedi, they seem to be kinda... Not the type that have friends. This is gonna be a miserable story if we don't have friends to interact with.

>>698222
Jedi don't have friends either, they just act friendly.

>>698222

I think a story with brooding and depression set in Star Wars would make this quest different from other Jedi quests. If it actually makes readers upset, that'd be fuckin' awesome in my opinion.
