=== Episode 3 - Pleasure and Pain ===
:''...its getting tighter than it used to be


After a bit of shopping to dress the part as passengers on a luxury liner, the troupe left the republic capital heading for [[Nar Shaddaa]], the starting point of the cruise. They were astonished by the sheer number of spaceships that were arriving, docking, being loaded and leaving busy moon of [[Nal Hutta]], home of the Huts. Even an Imperial Dreadnaught was waiting in orbit of the space station where the '''Queen of Nal Hutta''', the luxury liner was currently docked. Although the characters got a bit wobbly in the knees when they recignized the dreadnaught as the '''Korriban''' (see episode 1), nothing actually happened.

After finishing the official procedures, the pilot of the Jedi consular-class space cruiser [[File:Jedi cruiser.jpg|thumb|210px|Consular-Class Space Cruiser]]that had brought the group took off again, retreating to safer sectors. The five crossed the docks to get aboard, all dressed up in the best fashions that they had bought on [[Coruscant]] as their normal outfits would have stood out too much as being too "normal". The young Jedi Codi Ita was fitted out as a young rich aristocrate from Ryloth with the rest of the group as entourage. Soon after they moved into their suite onboard, the '''Queen''' slipped into hyperspace.

After a week of unsuccessful undercover legwork, hacking and researching, and being distracted by the multitude of recreational services that the Queen offered, the team was invited to one of the VIP-platforms, surprisingly meeting an old "acquaintance". Greeting them was '''Grandmoff Kilran''' in company of a mid-40s human woman, who was introduced as '''Lady Qi'ellani Del'herrow''', and a creepy sith lord named '''Jevan Cadav''' who were all having a drink with a Hutt, introduced as '''Durga''', the owner of the '''Queen of Nal Hutta'''. Kilran greeted the team with courtesy, but showed that he knew who the team was and what they had done and that he was watching them. Durga especially seemed to enjoy the show, especially the looks between the Sith and the Jedi but made it more than clear that none should even try to hurt anybody aboard his ship. The conversation was cut short when [[UrYōma]] suddenly fell unconcious, overpowered by the feeling that a jewel around Qi'ellanis neck was one of the missing shards of the Ur-Crystal. The team quickly bid their farewell after UrYōma came back to his senses a few moments later. 

Researching the necklace later, they found that it is named "'''The Dark Eye of Sejhel'''" [[File:Eye of Sejhel.jpg|left|thumb|210px|The Dark Eye of Sejhel]]and it had been in the posession of the Del'herrow family for ages. Legend says the jewel protects his owners by bringing bad luck to all who oppose them. They also found that they currently had no options to approach this problem in any sesible manner an UrYōma did not push the subject.

Two days later the Queen took a stop in the [[Asuba-3]] system at an orbital space station to take on new supplies and guests. Taking a good look at the new arrivals they finally found '''Kyra''' among the service people that came on board. Hacking a terminal they found her record under a cover identity - a high class massaging specialist in the recreation area. But '''Risha''' was nowhere to be found. The group planned to confront ''Kyra'' but while still planning and keeping an eye on the Grandmoff and his entourage, suddenly things took a completely different turn. The lights systems shut down and after a few seconds the holo systems showed the image of an man that greeted passengers and crew alike: "''Good evening Ladys and Gentlemen, I am the Black Baron. Keep calm for your life is not in danger. Keep your wealths ready. This is a robbery. Thank you for your patience.''"

In the following chaos '''Kyra Danjapa''' managed to snatch the ''Dark Eye of Sejhel'' before the group could even get near it and fled for the hangar where her partner '''Risha Drayen''' had landed and was lying in wait for her in disguise. Unfortunately ''Ri'' and ''Lee'' found out about this and took ''Risha'' by surprise, replacing her to lay a trap for the approaching Kyra. Unfortunately Kyra somehow smelled the trap and made a close escape despite being trapped between Ri and Lee waiting for her and her chasers Lee, UrYōma and Codi. The group even managed to get the stolen necklace, but had to realize that the central crystal had already been removed by Kyra. But at least they had Risha together with the '''[[Khan]]''' (a [[Kazellis Light Freighter]] that now included a few modifications) that she had stolen from Lee and Ri (prelude of Lee and Ri) with which the group made their own escape from the well armed ''Queen of Nal Hutta''.

On their way back to ''Nar Shaddaa'' the troupe managed to uncover Risha's story through her diary that they found aboard the Khan and by questioning her:

'''The Black Baron''', an infamous pirate, who had disappeared about 10 years ago, was actually called '''Nok Drayen''' and had fallen mortally ill with ''Malastaric Yellow Fever'' which was a very rare and equally deadly disease. He had his body frozen in carbonite to outlive his death and had it placed in a hidden cargo compartment of the ''Khan'', his old pirate ship. He had also left his then 12 year old daughter ''Risha'' holomessage that stated that she should follow his steps to find his "legacy" and had included clues proper for a lost pirate treasure. First of all Rish's necklace held part of a map to a certain region of space that has not been explored yet. The map showed the general layout of the ''Unknown Regions'' beyond the ''[[Ansion]]-system''. The necklace that had contained the ''Dark Eye of Sejhel'' was the second part of the map, together pointing to an unknown system that contained a secret hideout where an old ''Gonk-droid'' (an old version of the popular [[EG-6 Power Droid]]) would hold a special circuit board. That circuit board with a chip that Nok had on his frozen body would then chart out the way to his legacy. 

Tee, Ri and Lee cut a deal with Risha. She only wanted the "legacy" part, a good share of the valuables or treasures would go to the ship holders for the transport and for help on the way - while the Jedi simply decided to come along to help Risha find her legacy. As there was still a crate of holocrons on the ship the Jedi decided it would be best to return these to Tython first and try to find a healer for the illness of Nok Drayen in order to rescue him for his daughter. A healer was found and Nok was defrosted in his presence, but it all turned out to naught. Nok died of the disease just a few minutes after he awakend, too weak to survive the shock of revival and the illness, but at least had a chance to talk to his daughter.

Now in possession of all available clues for the first part of the "legacy run", Risha and the heroes embarked for the ''Unknown'' ...
