Russel takes a deep breath and jumps into a repulsor sled he turns it around with a grin so the reverse side is heading towards the cargo bay.
Taking advantage of Russel's mobile cover, Kalus carefully lines up a shot on the trooper to the right.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Taril dodges between kiosk and trams and people, keeping close contact with her companions.
Sliding into cover behind a food kiosk, it't operator long gone, but the aromatic scent's of it's wares making Taril's stomach rumble.
Taril closed her eyes for a moment, re-gathering her faculties.
Once her breathing had calmed and her nerves settled, she peeked out and spied a trooper staring down the barrel of his carbine at her.
Quickly rising up, she pointed her own weapon at the trooper, but just a quickly dropped back under cover, hoping to have caught the trooper off balance...
Avizzi moves up to the mobile cover as well, and he lines up a shot at the trooper Taril is distracting.
The Stormtroopers both aim before shooting.
Russel jumps onto a repulsor sled, finding it still running he spins it about and starts backing it towards the docking bay doors creating mobile cover for the group to follow.
Virssl takes cover behind an information terminal and fires at one of the Stormtroopers to pin him down.
Avizzi moves up behind the repulsor sled, with 6Syl close behind the droid flicks a mechanical Leku a she spouts data, predicting One of the troopers movements.
Avizzi takes aim and shoots but the slug ricochets of the edge of the doors with a loud twang.
Kalus moves up beside Avizzi and aims at one of the troopers on the right. He fires off a blaster bolt that takes the trooper in the chest, throwing the man back with a blaster burned hole in his white chest plate.
The two troopers left near the door take aim and fire, one at Avizzi, the other at Kalus.
Avizzi takes a red bolt to his left shoulder
Kalus gets hit on his right side near the hip.
The trooper on the repulsor sled lines up his own sled to tablet Russels firing a blaster cannon mounted underneath the armoured sled. The blaster cannons bolts slam into Russels sled hammering the back, blasting holes in it.
Taril pops out from her cover levelling her blaster at the trooper to the left of the door but then just dicks back down leaving the man staring at the food stall, confused.
Kalus, 8/19 Hp
Russel: -1 step on condition track.
Russel's repulsor sled: 29/40 Hp
Stormtrooper Blue, Flat footed vs Taril.
Kalus lets out a cry as the bolt catches him in the hip and drops him to one knee. Fixing the one who shot him with a glare, he fires off a shot at the trooper.
Unfortunately, the pain causes his shot to hit the wall, and he takes a few seconds to catch his breath and fight through the pain.
Avizzi also has to draw a few breaths and steel himself against the pain of a bolt catching him in the shoulder. He works it back and forth a few times, and after assessing that it still works, just painfully, he closes his eyes, sets his jaw, and rubs the heel of his hand against the injury. It stings for a few more moments, but the worst is worked out.
Knowing that the speeder won't be able to sustain such firepower for long, Russel tries to ram the speeder the Stormtrooper is firing from!
Pilot - Ram the Speeder -
Ram Damage
x2 is 28...
Russel puts his foot down, accelerating rapidly in reverse his repulsor sled going a little off course before he crashes into the Stormtrooper's sled. Both vehicles handle the impact well, their industrial frames absorbing most of the force.
Virssl fires at the trooper to the left of the door (Blue). The blaster fire hits the trooper on his left side and he spins to the floor to lie on his belly. The Mrlssi looks a little shocked...
Six fires her stun pistol at the stormtrooper to the right as she pulls a . The blue rings wash over him and he slumps backwards onto the floor. " Firing at the fuel cells for the repulsor sleds blaster cannon would cause maximum damage... " She says to Kalus
Avizzi takes a few breaths gathering himself to get back into the fight as he works his injured shoulder.
Kalus fires at the Stormtrooper's repulsor sled but his injuries are affecting his aim and the shot goes wide. He drops to the floor to avoid being shot and takes a second to catch his breath and steady himself.
" Take them down men, give these terrorists no quarter! " The officer yells.
Two of the Stormtroopers and the officer fire at Russel. The officers aim is the best his bolt hits the cabin of the repulsor sled narrowly missing Russel. The two Stormtroopers miss horribly...
The other Stormtrooper (Orange) spots Taril behind the food stall and takes aim at her. His bolt leaves a burn mark in the stall.
The Stormtrooper on the sled backs it away from Russel's sled and sends a hail of blaster fire ripping into Russel's Repulsor. The engine starts to whine terribly!
Russel: -1 step on condition track.
Russel's repulsor sled: 12/40 Hp
Stormtrooper repulsor sled: 28/32 Hp
Kalus shouts into his comlink, "Russel, get clear of the other repulsive sled!"
Taking a deep breath, Kalus takes Six's advice and, taking a deep breath to steady his aim, sights in on the blaster cannon's fuel cells before firing a shot at them.
X 2 = 30
Avizzi pauses as he sees the others engaging in different actions, especially when he sees Kalus sighting on the repulsor sled's fuel cells.
Taking a deep breath Kalus steadies his pistol and takes a shot at the fuel cells on the repulsor sled...
KaBoom! The resulting explosion rocks the repulsor sled, a high pitched beeping emanates from the machine as warning systems react to the damage. The trooper is thrown off and lands nearby lying still on the ground, his white armour scorched and covered in shrapnel. The repulsor sled spins around a couple of times and then crashes into the deck.
Taril sneaks a peek and frowns as she sees that her trooper has been eliminated by her friends.
Seeing the coast was clear around the doorway, she runs forward to slap her back against the wall. Looking around the corner she see a trooper and instictively snaps off a shot.
Now that the coast is clear, Avizzi dashes into and across the bay, diving for cover behind some containers.
Orange vs Taril, aiming
Green vs Russel, aiming
Purple vs Avizzi
Officer vs Russel, aiming
Taril dashes for the door and peeks around snapping of a blaster bolt at the enemy. The red bolt slams into the crates he's taking cover behind.
Russel gets clear of the other repulsor sled leaning out the window as he goes and firing off a blaster at one of the Stormtroopers (green), the bolt burns into some shipping crates.
Virssl dashes around the stall to get to Taril's side ready to back her up.
6syl makes her own dash for the doors taking cover so to stay out if he line of fire.
Taking a deep breath Kalus steadies his pistol and takes a shot at the fuel cells on the repulsor sled...
KaBoom! The resulting explosion rocks the repulsor sled, a high pitched beeping emanates from the machine as warning systems react to the damage. The trooper is thrown off and lands nearby lying still on the ground, his white armour scorched and covered in shrapnel. The repulsor sled spins around a couple of times and then crashes into the deck.
Avizzi pauses as Kalus makes his shot and then dashes into the docking bay ducking behind some crates.
The troopers open fire again
Orange takes aim at Taril but the shot goes wide through the doors and into the stall.
Green snaps off a burst at Russel but the bolts go wide or don't penetrate the repulsor sleds frame.
Purple takes a few steps and takes a quick shot at Avizzi which goes high over the Togruta's head.
The officer takes aim at, holding his pistol in both hands he fires but the bolt flashes over the repulsor sled.
Russel: -1 step on condition track.
Russel's repulsor sled: 12/40 Hp
Kalus grins as the repulsor's fuel cell explodes, eliminating the greatest threat. Getting up, he sprints to a crate near where Six is crouched, saying, "That should even up the odds."
Taril ducks back behind cover just as the trooper's blaster bolt sails by where he head had been.
Softly blowing air out through her pursed lips, she gathers her wits about her for a moment then leans out and fires...
Avizzi recovers from his wound and sprint and pops over the box, aiming at the stormtrooper nearest him and firing.
Russel fires back at the Stormtrooper who pressed him .

Trooper purple vs Avizzi
Taril leans out from behind her cover and taking aim shoots a stormtrooper in the head. The man drops to the ground his helmet rolling off.
Russel continues to fire at 'his' trooper (green) taking aim and sending a red bolt into the troopers left shoulder. The stormtrooper falls to his knees and then onto his face.
Virssl cautiously takes a few steps out of his cover, seeing most of the troopers down he ducks around Taril and addresses the officer. " We've got you out numbered! Drop your weapon and you'll be allowed to live! " he chirps fiercely
The officer glances left and right and with a sneer, throws his pistol onto the ground a few meters ahead of himself and raises his hands.
Six dashes into the docking bay trying to get into a position where she can assist Avizzi.
Avizzi pops over his crate and sights down his rifle, firing at the last trooper. The slug smashes through the armour plate of the mans left arm with a bright red burst of blood. The trooper curses and grunts but is still standing.
Kalus jumps up from his prone position and ducks behind a nearby crate.
The last trooper sees his officer surrendering but growls " You alien scum! " at Avizzi he charges at Avizzi's position ducking around the crate and firing his carbine at point blank range! But his injured arm effects his aim, the bolts fly past Avizzi's head.
Avizzi, 22/26 Hp,
Russel: -1 step on condition track.
Russel's repulsor sled: 12/40 Hp
Purple Trooper 1/6 Hp
Avizzi steps out in front of the stormtrooper, transferring his rifle to his off hand and reaching to his back. He draws the hidden pistol there and points it in the trooper's face, pulling the trigger without comment.
Taril pokes her head around the wall, sees the officer standing defenceless and has a momentary impulse to shoot him immediately.
Blaster fire from her right dispels that fantasy and she settles for moving forward, running up to the disabled repulsor lift...
Taril ducks into the bay and takes cover by the repulsor lift
As...
Avizzi draws a hidden pistol and points it directly at the troopers head. Blam! The slug punches through the white helmets left eye and bursts out the back, pieces of helmet and gore splattering on the docking bay wall. The body slumps to the floor gracelessly.
Russel: -1 step on condition track.
Russel's repulsor sled: 12/40 Hp
Around the bay many crates have been moved about and unpacked. The imperial officer stands next to a long crate that has only partially been opened. " You can't posibly hope to leave the station alive. Even now three more squads are headed here. "
Over to the left you can see through some windows, banks of control panels for the docking bay.
As the officer talks he puts one hand on the crate and then starts slide his hand into the crate as if reaching for something.
Striding forward, blaster leveled at the officer, Kalus smirks at his attempt to subtly reach for something and says, "Doesn't matter if they are. They'll be too late." Grabbing a pair of binder cuffs off a stormtrooper's belt, keeping the officer covered the whole time, Kalus says, "On your knees. Hands on your head."
Avizzi rounds the corner of the crates and also notices the officer reaching for something. Kalus seems to have matters mostly in hand, but Avizzi decides to help out and make sure nothing bad happens... namely, by putting a bullet in the officer's knee, helping him to the ground that much faster.
"Now, now. No calling your friends. We are the hunters, here." The togruta slides his pistol back into its concealed holster, and shifts the rifle back into a combat-ready grip. "You're just the prey."
The officer puts his hands on his head and then cries out in pain as Avizzi shoots him in the knee. He drops to his knees crying out again, then slumps over holding his injured leg and groaning in pain.
Avizzi, 22/26 Hp,
Russel: -1 step on condition track.

Officer: 6/17 Hp
-1 step on condition track.
Kalus turns to Avizzi and says, "Thanks. That makes things much more convenient."
Looking at the others, he says, "We need to find the cargo quickly. Maya and her ship are going to be here soon. I'll take care of stashing this guy and the unconscious stormtrooper somewhere."
Placing the binder cuffs on the officer, Kalus looks about for a storage room he can stash him in.
Russel cracks his neck having jarred it in the crash. As Kalus discusses finding the cargo Russel exclaims, "Right!"
He begins to search for it.
Perception
Kalus cuffs the officer and locks him up in one of the smaller storage areas off the main bay. Russel gets to work searching for the cargo, and finds it quite quickly in the long crate that the officer was standing next to. In Moments Maya's ship lands and the cargo is loaded on.
Six finds the crate of Corellian Ale that Switch had given to the group and gets that loaded on as well.
As a squadron of Stormtroopers bear down on the docking bay Taril closes the blast doors and everyone runs up the boarding ramp onto the Banshee, a Baudo- class Star Yacht.
The ramp folds up and closes as the ship takes off through the docking shields and accelerates away jumping to hyperspace just as the small tie contingent scrambles from the space station.
Maya greets you all in the cargo bay, leading you up to the cockpit.
" Well done. Looks like you had a rough time getting to that cargo. I don't know what I would have done without your help. "
At the cockpit Maya introduces you to Sirona Okeefe, the Captain, and owner of the Banshee.
I'm also going to cuff the unconscious stormtrooper in there. And by cuff both of them in there, I mean I'm going to coup de grace both of them in the closet out of everyone's sight, then lock the bodies in there.
Pirate rules: never leave behind an Imperial who can identify you.
His Redemption destiny is kind of supposed to refer to himself.
"It was a lot trickier than we thought. The Empire was actively searching for it," Kalus says to Maya as the cargo gets loaded.
Upon being introduced to Captain O'Keefe, he says, "A pleasure to meet you, Captain. I appreciate the ride out of there."
Taril flips a jaunty salute to Captain O'Keefe "Nice ship, Cap'n. You need any help up there just let me know."
She nods at Kalus' comment, "Yeah, that was some hot cargo...hope it was worth the trouble."
"If we were not wanted by the Empire already, we will be now to be sure. So where are we headed?"
"It was a lot trickier than we thought. The Empire was actively searching for it," Kalus says to Maya as the cargo gets loaded.
Taril nods at Kalus' comment, "Yeah, that was some hot cargo...hope it was worth the trouble."
" I know what you mean Taril, I hope my frozen colleague has some important intelligence. Things must have been pretty desperate for him to freeze himself for transport. I have no idea who could have tipped the Empire off. I don't think Switch would... I'll make sure you're properly compensated. Don't worry about that."
Sirona, a beautiful middle aged woman with wavy auburn hair, hops out of the pilot seat as she's introduced. " Take the helm Crash " she says to the droid sitting in the copilots seat.
" It's always a pleasure to meet me... " She replies to Kalus, raising her eyebrows " Maybe that's cause I'm always swooping in and getting people out of tight jams. "
She nods to Taril and then replies to Russel.
" Alderaan... Though we'll be making a few jumps, just to make sure we're not followed. So settle in... "
Captain Okeefe shows you to the passengers quarters where you can make yourselves comfortable.
After 10 days the Banshee drops out of hyperspace with the blue green world of Alderaan beneath it. Okeefe is cleared to land at the Royal Palace and Maya, along with one of Bail Organa's servants escorts you from the docking bay into the palace and to the Grand Hall, an ornately decorated chamber where the royalty of Alderaan holds court. Maya rushes off to debrief with Organa while a servant organises refreshments for you while you wait on Organa’s arrival.
After about half an hour the doors to the Grand Hall open, and in strides a middle-aged man who has a well-kept goatee and is wearing Senatorial robes. Easily recognizable as Bail Organa, he smiles and nods to the servants before turning to you. “Welcome to Alderaan,” he says. “Thank you for your patience and for the assistance you gave to Maya. , I am glad to see that the . . . difficulties at the spaceport above Brentaal didn’t impede you too much." [/B] He takes out some cred sticks and passes them to each of you. "I hope you'll find this payment adequate for your trouble.
“Maya is very grateful for your rescue and seems to think you can be trusted. Since you worked hard to help her, I believe I can put my faith in you as well. I have a task that needs to be completed, but unfortunately my status as a Senator prevents me from taking care of it myself, or even from sending someone directly associated with the Royal Family.
“The planet Felucia was ravaged during the Clone Wars, but once the fighting was over, the Empire set up a permanent facility on the world. Nothing large—just a small garrison where they could keep prisoners out of the way. Some months ago, I was contacted by an Imperial Admiral who was disillusioned with the way the Empire had twisted the once-great Republic, and he began feeding me sensitive information. A little over a week ago, that communication stopped. My agents tell me that the Admiral has been taken to Felucia, where he is being held against his will. I’d like you to learn what has become of him, and rescue him if you can.”
Should I take DSP for that last spoiler, or would you prefer I just left them unconscious and locked up?
Frowning, Kalus says, "Wait, we just got finished angering the Empire, and now you want is to go do it again? And on a planet covered in strange fungi? I'm not saying I won't do it, but I need to know what we're talking in compensation here."
Taril enjoys being on a proper ship, bugging O'Keefe with all kinds of questions about the engines, shield configuration and maneuvering thrusters.
Arriving on Alderaan, she's visibly pleased with the accomodations given the group, found lounging in a nice comfy divan when the Senator arrives.
Felucia....felucia....
She nods , slidling up beside Kalus, "Yeah, I've got no love for the Empire but as Kalus said, you'd better make it worth our while."
Avizzi is quiet for most of the trip to Alderaan: he agrees with the sentiments about troublesome cargo and the hope for proper compensation, but otherwise spends the time going over his equipment. Finally on the move again. Good.
At the palace itself, he frowns, clearly disliking the new surroundings. "Too soft. Too much luxury." He looks to Taril Sha and shakes his head. "Live like this too long, and you can't survive anywhere else." Still, the togruta does take part of the refreshments, even slipping one or two of the more preservable items into pockets.
When Organa arrives, Avizzi listens attentively, and can't help but agree with Kalus. "This sounds like a truly dangerous outing, a hunt among more deadly beasts. Just how do you expect us to get inside and find your Admiral?"
Take a Darkside point
Capt. Okeefe is quite pleased to talk shop and show off her ship to Taril. Taking her on a tour pointing out various things.
" Well, I took out the original light laser cannons and replaced them with some quad lasers. Put in a second gun well too. Don't worry though I didn't just turf those original cannons. I linked them with a second set and put hem under the bow so I can operate them from the pilot seat. Modified the engines of course, and put on some extra thrusters, so now the Banshee handles more like a snub fighter than a transport. " she says patting one of he walls.
Felucia is a planet on the Perlemian trade route with slightly lighter than normal gravity and 27hr days. It's mostly covered with a fungal jungle.
The humid fungus forests covering the worlds surface glisten in the sun, creating a fantastic, multicoloured landscape during the day. Most plants and animals on Felucia have adapted specialised defences to protect them from each other, making them particularly hostile to offworlders.
During the Clone Wars, Felucia was a major stronghold for the Seperatists, particularly the Commerce Guild.
Since thier defeat, Separatist remnants, including the planet's Gossam settlers, have taken shelter in small enclaves in the fungal wilderness, joining forces with the fugitive labourers, outlaws, and smugglers they formally persecuted.

Imperial forces maintain a presence in Kway Teow (the planets Capital city) primarily to gather Gossam slaves for export and to research biological agents taken from the diverse and abundant plant life.
You have heard a rumour that a Jedi knight escaped order 66 and hides out somewhere on Felucia.
Checking the Balance readout on the Credstick Kalus finds it loaded with 1500 credits.
Frowning, Kalus says, "Wait, we just got finished angering the Empire, and now you want is to go do it again? And on a planet covered in strange fungi? I'm not saying I won't do it, but I need to know what we're talking in compensation here."
Taril nods , slidling up beside Kalus, "Yeah, I've got no love for the Empire but as Kalus said, you'd better make it worth our while."
" Better to strike while the iron is hot, hmm. You will of course be fairly compensated. Each of you will receive 2,000 credits, and if things go well, I will guarantee more work when you return. Additionally, if the Admiral has as much information as I believe he does, this could be an excellent chance to strike a blow at the Galactic Empire. "
"This sounds like a truly dangerous outing, a hunt among more deadly beasts. Just how do you expect us to get inside and find your Admiral?"
" The Imperial facility is secret base, small and isolated, they do not advertise its presence with large numbers of troops, many within the Empire do not even know of its existence. Our knowledge of the facility’s existence is our greatest advantage. Additionally, you shouldn’t be going anywhere near the planet’s major cities, so you should be able to travel largely undetected. You all proved very resourceful over Brentaal IV according to Maya's report, so I believe you should have little trouble carrying out this mission. "
" Well, what do you say? Any other questions? Will you take the mission? "
"Alright, I'm in. How are we getting there?"
Russel nods in agreement with the proposal, "The credits and another shot to scramble the Empire's plan has me convinced. Senator, is there some way we could speak in private? I am willing to take less credits if you could look into something for me..."
Avizzi pauses when asked if he'll take the mission. His eyes flicker around the room, but they don't seem to be taking it in; rather, they seem to be casual motions accompanying heavy thought. A good hunt, a dangerous target, the Empire. An isolated world, good to be in the brush again, perhaps, at least out of cities and stations. And then in and out to search and kill.
The togruta nods, a primal look in his eye. "I'll take your offer."
"Alright, I'm in. How are we getting there?"The togruta nods, a primal look in his eye. "I'll take your offer."
Senator Organa smiles " Great, as for transport qI will have Capt. Okeefe transport you on the Banshee again. It's ideal because as a private vessel there's nothing to link it with me. I can't stress enough that no one should know you are working for me. Not even Admiral Gilda Varth, the man you are to locate and rescue. "
Russel nods in agreement with the proposal, "The credits and another shot to scramble the Empire's plan has me convinced. Senator, is there some way we could speak in private? I am willing to take less credits if you could look into something for me..."
Senator Bail nods " Of course, after this meeting I'll hear your request in private and if I think I can help, I will. "
" I have one more request to make of you all. I'd like to add another member to your team. A capable woman, who I met in similar circumstances a few weeks ago. I will make introductions a little later. For now I'll show you to some guest quarters. "
He stands and makes his way down a hall and up some stairs into a guest wing. Pointing out rooms for everyone he says " Feel free to head into the city and take care of any business you'd like to. The Captain Okeefe has informed me that the Banshee will be ready to fly at 0600 galactic standard time tomorrow, so you'll have this afternoon and this evening free. I'll make contact with you all once I've uh tracked down Nomi-Rae... Now, Russel did you want to have that private chat? "
He steps into Russel's quarters.
All the guest quarters are spacious and luxurious, with a lounge area, a bedroom, a bathroom and a small bar. The furniture is all finely crafted and expensive looking art prices adorn the walls and tables.
" So, what is it you think I can help you with? "
My parents were politicians from Duro or at least as I grew up I believed that they were. My parents were not "ordinary" people. If what my father told me was true before he died, they were both members of an ancient cult of assassins, the GenoHaradan.
My mother was slain on Bothawui almost two years ago very close to the timing of the Battle of Bothawui during the clone wars. My father and I ignored what he stated were orders to stay put on Duro placing her slaying behind him and move on with his cover story and life.
He ignored that request and began following the trail. After being trapped on Bothawui during the siege we tracked leads to her killers on Bespin and then Coruscant where my father fell to assassins.
I managed to survive due to my father's sacrifice. I stayed on Coruscant trying to follow the trail, all I learned was that my mother was working for the Republic at the time of her death. I suspect that her death was linked to the Republic's transition into Empire. I have no proof of this but I have a gut feeling.
Perhaps with your contacts and influence you can trace the leads I cannot..."
In a smallish smoke filled cantina out near the city spaceport, starship crews sit in booths drinking, laughing and playing various games. One of the old classic J$~z hits pumps out of a jukebox. A couple of unsavoury looking spacers approach a young woman sitting at the bar from behind.
" I don't care what you say, I swear she was cheating, " one says under his breath to the other. " theres something weird about the way she was looking at me like she could read my mind kinda. Are you gonna back me up or not? "
They walk right up and one places a hand on the woman's shoulder while the other stands on the other side.
" Well Hi there, Nomi isn't it? We just wanted to have a little chat about that Sabacc game the other night... "
"Blow. Kriffin' vac-heads." Nomi's hand slides forward on the table pushing aside a half-dozen inverted shot glasses edging toward a full one. Her one dark brown natural eye never leaves the fat, bare-chested Askajian man in a furry cap across from her. Sweat gleams from his six, wiry-haired breasts making her want to heave.
She takes up the glass but before she can down it the room spins on her. She leans her forehead against the back of her wrist for balance. She's burning up. A murmur runs through the crowd collected around them. Credits are on the verge of changing hands. Lubo the Askajian smiles dimly in inebriated anticipation.
She calls on the force to push through the stupor she feels coming on; using it to also steady her shaking hand. Nomi holds up her other hand to stifle the crowd. She raises her chin. Sweat beads on her brow pasting her black hair to her face. She downs the shot without thinking. Nomi slaps the empty tumbler face down on the table, then sits back smiling.
"Of course. We'll use the utmost discretion, Senator."
Left to his own devices and in need of a new coat (as his now had some holes in it), Kalus heads out into the town so he can buy a couple of things before they leave - and hopefully a drink or two as well.
Avizzi takes his own credstick after the meeting and heads into the city as well, looking for a camouflage poncho to aid the stealth mission
While out, he decides to stop in a cantina once more, taking in the environment he's thrived in for the past several years before heading back to the hunting grounds more like those of his youth. Maybe find out what's happening in the local scene.
He takes any information you're willing to give him, but doesn't pressure you. (Things like any known alias's of you're parents and the locations of thier deaths.)
The thuggish spacer behind Nomi removes his hand and folds his arms glaring at the woman as he waits for the drinking contest to finish... " Probably cheating here too! " he mumbles.
The Askajian, Lubo, frowns, burps and scratches himself unsteadily before reaching past his own pile of empty shot glasses for a full one. He takes one and throw a his head back to down it, overbalancing he falls backwards of his stool, crashing to the floor. The area around the bar falls silent for a second. Lubo pushes himself up on one arm awkardly he attempts to look Nomi in the eye... And then vomits magnificently. A roar of lighter erupts from the onlookers. The bar tender, Deesh, a large human man in his late forties laughs. " Ha, haa! You sure can drink girl... Looks like we got a new champi... " he's cut off as the thug from before moves around to get at Nomi, knocking over a stack of spent shot glasses in the process. " Hey, " yells Deesh. " Don't be messing with the new champ! " a Togorian bouncer grabs the man at a nod from Deesh and starts dragging him towards the entrance.
Kalus and Avizzi head out into the city, driven in one of the palaces unmarked black landspeeders. The buildings of the city are mainly made of white synthstone and are widely spaced to give an open feel, with plenty of parks and gardens interspersed between them. All this is set against the back drop of snow capped mountain peaks.
The landspeeder stops at an upper market clothing boutique where Kalus purchases a replacement coat and then heads further out towards the edges of the city to an open air market near the spaceport where thier driver, a business like human male with short cropt grey hair, says they'll have better luck locating the camp gear they're after.
Instead of heading back to thier transport after the markets, Avizzi and Kalus head for a drink at one of the spaceport Cantinas, as they approach a burst of laughter erupts from the place as the doors open and a spacer is thrown out onto the duracrete side walk.
