B2MEM Days 21 & 22 - Alone He Set Forth
This is slightly ahead of the current Silmarillion Wars timeline.
Day 21
Describe a big storm from your memory and place it in Tolkien's world.
Day 22
According to the Romans, the basic principle of the law is that agreements should be respected under all circumstances. Do you agree with this? Is there a time in your life when you had to break this principle? When someone broke an agreement with you?
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a very strong meteor storm which greatly damaged many spacecraft. This forced Han Fingon Solo to land for repairs in Forochel. His ship, the Yéni Falcon had sustained much damage fortunately his First Mate Chewbacca got to work on the repairs right away. Chewbacca was a member of the Lossoth tribe whom he rescued from certain death. In return, Chewie offered him his expertise in ship repair--for FREE.
They were due to fly to Tatooine to make a "discreet delivery" to Jabba the Hutt but got a bit sidetracked because of the storm. Jabba was certainly not going to be happy--the gangster had a "thing" for punctuality--it was virtually part of their "agreement". Han Fingon scoffed. "Agreements are only binding if they are legal which this transaction clearly is NOT."
Eight men had just approached him and made an innocuous offer: They wanted a side trip to rescue some holographic Princess in a destination that was conveniently in their flight plan. Jabba would just have to wait for his precious delivery--the eight men offered tons of money in exchange for his help. Sure, the Princess looked beautiful (at least from what he saw) but she might be high maintenance, as royalty usually are and he should know! And anyway, he can hire a few "princesses" in Coruscant with all the reward money he was promised.
Plus the old bearded man warned that there might be some danger involved in the rescue operation. And if there was one thing he enjoyed it was danger, and heck, it's been a while since he's had some action.
