Artifact Hunt Job: Bring Me Chunks of Rock, Get Really Good Stuff

[Velok the Younger]

Pretty simple. Make your own threads, I don't care how they're set or where you get the prize or how you get it or what fun you have along the way. All you need to know is that there's an anonymous buyer promising serious loot and payoffs for anyone who can find a piece of the Taurannik Codex. It's like a hundred thousand years old, been copied and retranslated several times. Maybe you're after a chunk of an ancient stone tablet, or a flexible metal scroll, or a holocron, or a shred of decrepit cloth with writing on it. Potential locations:

• The Gunninga Gap in the Unknown Regions, full of huge zero-gravity trees that somehow live in space.
• The planet Mindor, currently in Republic territory, I believe, or possibly Mandalorian. It should be somewhere near Contruum, or in that area.
• Ruins. Lots of ruins. Indiana Jones.
• The Perann Nebula/Nihil Retreat, home of the deadly Dark Side prophets known as the Sorcerers of Rhand. The Taurannik Codex is part of their heritage, so tread lightly.
• Antiques bazaars, backroom deals, sabacc matches.

You will have a blast, and I will absolutely make it worth your while. Money, tech, ships, alchemical toys, whatever.

Can I get your admiration?

 

[Velok the Younger]

@[member="Darth Vornskr"] - That's feasible.

 

[Nyxie]

Alchemic toys? Somebody call Circe! Hah, it's an inside joke between us. XD
I'm down. It might be a while before I start anything though. I've already got plenty of catch-up to do thanks to my month of leave.


Actually, @[member="Circe Savan"], seem like something you'd be interested in hunting?

 

[Aeri Vyn]

Interesting!

 

[Ak'lya]

@[member="Rave Merrill"] I'll hunt down some old writing for you, as long as you can get me a way of defending my mind from FUs. If not, I'll still do it, but I'm hopeful mostly for something of some defensive use like that. Either way, one ancient Codex piece on the way.

 

[Velok the Younger]

@[member="Strask Ak'lya"] - A way of defending your mind from Force users? I can do that.

 

[Cassus Akovin]

The answer is yes, I will get you the things.

As for the price, I will have to think on that.

 

[Jonathon Patches]

Why do none of your quests have a map, with a big giant X... Preferably guarded by a stuffed animal.

 

[Judah Dashiell]

@[member="Rave Merrill"]

Hmm, this is very tempting. Are you up for an adventure @[member="Thessa Kai"] ?

 

[Onrai]

I already have a bunch of pieces, but you get none of them, @[member="Rave Merrill"]. >_>

 

[Velok the Younger]

@[member="Circe Savan"] - You're bluffing. I searched the forum for 'Taurannik' and read errything. You've got one piece, maybe two.

LET THE RACE BEGIN!

 

[Onrai]

I've been getting pieces silently in a bunch of threads.

, backroom deals, sabacc matches.

*quirks eyebrow* Go pazaak a stuffed animal out of his life's savings and some archaeological goodness. Or is your poker face just not up to the challenge?

Clearly, I need to go collect bits and stuff before Rave can get it, and become the Indiana to her Belloq.

 

[Moira Skaldi]

Sounds lucrative.

Clearly, I need to go collect bits and stuff before Rave can get it, and become the Indiana to her Belloq.

And then discover that the consequences are so astronomical that they can only be averted by pooling our resources? Healer slot number two?

 

[Aleidis Zrgaat]

@[member="Rave Merrill"]

Healer slot number two. We are Velok's dark legacy, for good or ill.

((More specifically, we ARE Good and Ill))
