Endings and Beginnings

Tuesday night we finished the module we were running about four weeks earlier than we were supposed to because apparently we had skipped just about every important thing that it was possible to skip. It boiled down to a tower defense scenario where we were defending the city from the evil hobgoblin army and we were holding one of the main streets from the invading horde and trying our hardest to save the city from complete burnification. Well we made it to the last wave and were promptly murdered by rampaging undead, two of us killed outright and one sniped off the roof whilst in retreat.
My cleric was unable to climb, fly, run particularly fast, or dispel the wall of thorns blocking his escape down the street. I remembered that we were, in fact, holding a city street and assumed that there had to be doors to the buildings towering over me; I was correct, bashing down a door and staying in the cover of the structures as I made my speedy withdrawal from the conflict. The only other party member to make it out of the city with his life was the bard.
So in a fashion, I won; the city, however, was burned to the ground.

With this campaign wrapped up, I'll finally be running a Star Wars Sagas game on Tuesday nights now. The characters submitted have undergone name changes to things more appropriate and belonging in the setting. I currently await a few more so I can really get cracking on a more detailed plotline.

They've been trying to hammer out the details of how their characters all know eachother but for the most part they decided to go with originally being apprentices to Jedi Masters who were all sent on a mission together in the Unknown Regions (not sure exactly what the mission was but we'll get there) and ended up finding a Sith Holocron; unaware of what they had, they brought it with them on the return trip where it was accidentally activated and began to teach them techniques not of the Jedi Order. Finally, they decided they wanted to pursue the training that the holocron offered; feeling that their masters were entirely dishonest and were holding them back from what Force could give them.
