Other Rules to Consider

Review Player Adventure Logs

Tale of the Sa Nalor: The Game Master should ask to see any Player Adventure Logs the players have in regards to Beyond the Rim: Act 1: Tale of the Sa Nalor.  The Game Master should pay particular attention to the fate of IT-3PO and who is in possession of the droid.

How to Introduce the Characters

Beyond the Rim – Act 2: Welcome to the Jungle opens with the PCs enroute from The Wheel to the planet of Cholganna to search for the Sa Nalaor.  Players should have completed Act 1 of Beyond the Rim prior to playing Act 2: Welcome to the Jungle.  If a player is new to the story they may be introduced with a bonus encounter that involves Trandoshan Big Game Hunters bringing prisoners to Cholganna to hunt in the Jungle.  If this is the case proceed to the bonus encounter below.

Mission Objectives

  1. Search Cholganna for the wreckage of the Sa Nalaor before the Yiyar Clan does
  2. Search the crash site
  3. Convince Cratala, Harsol, and the survivors to return to the Galaxy
  4. Defend the Retreat from the Empire
  5. Escape Cholganna

Ways to Expand the Adventure

Big Game Hunting: This bonus encounter can be introduced as a means to introduce new players to Act 2 Welcome to the Jungle or as a bonus encounter should the PCs fail their sensor check and end up searching the wrong area of the planet.  This bonus encounter involves Trandosan Big Game Hunters dropping people in the jungle whom they captured or bought as slaves.  The Trandoshan begin to hunt the people from their floating platform that hovers in the sky above the jungle.  GMs are encouraged to use the Big Game Hunter stats for the enemies.  If there are new players they can be some of the surviving slaves or prisoners.
Cash Grab: The players should contact the Baron upon locating the Sa Nalaor and plan for how to recover the treasure within for the Baron.  The Baron will use said funds to support his endeavors and fund the Rebellion as well as the Dawn Temple Force Academy.  Allow the players to examine the wreckage and determine what kind of equipment the Baron will need. More of Cholgana’s dangerous creatures can attack the party during this expedition.  This is important as your players, in the future, will want to try to recover the financial treasure themselves to get rich.  So the players should be aware that this is not their treasure for the taking.

Welcome to the Jungle Story Elements

Story Elements are to be documented on the Player Character’s Adventure Logs as proof of what story elements they have completed during game play.

The GM should note if the PCs located the Sa Nalaor before or after the Yiyar Clan.  If the PCs located the Sa Nalaor this opens us several future bonus adventures detailed in the back up the book like Cash Grab

Note if the PCs managed to rescue the survivors of the Sa Nalaor and if they became friends or enemies of Captain Rel Harsol & Kratala.  The GM should note if any survivors were left behind on the planet or killed.  If some survivors remain on the planet this opens up the bonus adventure detailed in the back of the book: Dealing with the Survivors.

The GM should note the PCs dealing with the Imperials and if they saved the Retreat from Imperial Control
