And Wootsa was the one who actually killed your agent. I'm the one that sent him back to you. That was my little gift...from Ryloth, with love.
—The Baron
From Ryloth With Love is a role playing game on TheForce.Net Role Playing Forum. It is the first in a series of games based on a peace-keeping organization called the Secret Galactic Intelligence Service, also known as MI5.
The Plot[]
During a routine inspection of Outer Rim planets, an MI5 agent turns up dead on Ryloth. The leaders of MI5 begin to suspect foul play when they get a response from the party that killed the agent. Now it's up to them to find out what's happening on Ryloth.
The Story[]
After an examination of the victim's body, the agents find ryll, rycrit dung, and someone else's DNA (possibly from the killer). Suspecting some kind of drug-trafficking going on, they head out to Ryloth to begin the investigation.
Upon the teams arrival on the planet's dark side, Hardcastle sends out probe droids from his ship the Last Bolt in search of the being whose DNA was found on the victim's body. The droids inevitably find the man called Wootsa.
Soon after the discovery of Wootsa, Hardcastle suggests the two Jedi Knights, Gruu Funkistann and Jaren Ytriiun, head out to the location and confront the man.
Meanwhile, the other agents gather at Hotel Ryloth and set up a small base of operations.
And while all this is happening, Kalnar Omana is fooling around with his female Twi'lek friend Pam Rocker.
After an encounter with assassin droids in a marketplace, Sounil Mistry, Markus Carfax, and Noir Lumiere head underground to find a Q'u Branch location.
At that same time, Kalnar follows a lead that brings him to a structure that happens to be The Baron's castle.
The other agents begin to arrive at Kalnar's location, and together they form a plan to infiltrate the castle. In the beginning stages of the infiltration, they meet minimal resistance from The Baron's armed guards. And at the same time, Wootsa reveals himself to be a Sith, which means Gruu and Jaren have a fight on their hands.
After a short lightsaber battle, Hardcastle arrives in his ship to assist the Jedi by firing at Wootsa and leaving nothing back a crater. The Jedi escaped the blast, having been picked up by the Last Bolts tractor beam. And Wootsa manages to escape. Back at the castle, the team makes their way deeper into the lair by hacking the security systems, not to mention mowing down hordes of guards. Kalnar eventually gets injured in the process.
During that time, Hardcastle and the Jedi investigate a crash site nearby, which turns out to be of no concern to them. But while they were away from everything, Wootsa made his way back to the castle to confront the "strike team" that had infiltrated the castle's defenses. A fight ensued, but with the combined skills of Kalnar, Sounil, Markus, and Noir, the four were able to take down the Sith Lord.
The assassin Froza Klebb
And all this time, The Baron was hiding underneath his castle in the maze of tunnels with his bodyguard Froza Klebb.
When Hardcastle and the two Jedi finally arrived at the castle, the strike team that took down Wootsa headed back to the ship for much needed rest. Gruu and Noir headed deeper into The Baron's underground lair only to come face to face with Froza Klebb.
After a short battle, Noir took care of Froza while Gruu handled The Baron.
In the aftermath, two agents had gone missing in action and Kalnar's injuries were so bad that it eventually killed him. The information the agents managed to get was that Wootsa was a rogue Sith that had turned to a life of crime and began working for The Baron. The Baron was in fact running some drug trafficking, but tried to disguise it with rycrit pens. As The Baron explained, it was all about the money.
As it turns out, The Baron was only a smaller piece of a much larger organization...but MI5 had no knowledge of this.
