Thi holds up one hand at the 3 guards, and lets out an ear shattering whistle. "OBSERVATION : Hutt will die with one more shot. INFORMATION : I can fire three more times before guards can kill me. CONCLUSION : Hutt will die if hostilities continue. COUNTER : Hutt will call off guards, and Hutt will not die. DECISION?" The speech is given in basic.
Helrun registers the fact that his blaster energy cell has died, he is glad in that moment for the training routines that Thi'wek came up with, since he is replacing the cell almost as soon as he figured out it was empty....
heavy blaster
Damage
However with the additional activity he can not seem to follow-up with accurate fire....
Jabba yells Enough! don't approach him and release his associates. Bring them to me!
The guards stop and the door in the bottom of the dungeon opens. Helrun and crew are taken to the throne room. Reeb is blended into the crowd. As the group is escorted up to the Throne room. Everyone has chance to act.
Thi keeps the small, but overpowered, blaster pointed straight at the gobby fat rolls of Jabba's face, even keeping it there as the others return. "Observation. Cade is the most hated human in the galaxy, inspiring hostility and betrayal in all who know him. Continuation. This one is beginning to understand the desire to kill Cade evinced by others. Conclusion, Cade should be very careful not to get this one into another situation where this one is forced to pull a blaster on a 'friend' of Cade's, or Cade may find that Cade is the one with blaster burns on his face." Thi says evenly while he keeps his blaster centered on Jabba. "Observation, Thi could design an automated weapon system to guard hutt. Additional Observation, this would now be much more expensive for hutt to buy, due to distrust of hutt's word. Conclusion, such a system would, however, have done better than hutt's worthless guards."
"Sorry for the misunderstanding, we have no quarrel nor intention to challenge the mighty Jabba. We are simply persons seeking employment opportunities, as free agents through-out the universe."I
Helrun actually holsters his blaster, after making certain the energy cell is near full.
Taska turns to look at Cade, her hands seeming to remove the used energy cartridge and replace it with a full one all on their own. Unlike Helrun, the masked bounty hunter does not holster her blaster. "Are we here representing Black Sun or not? I can't imagine even a Hutt would want to insult them by trying to kill their representatives."
Cade looks at everyone and then says Jabba despite this incident why did you drop us in the pit?
Jabba looks at Cade and then says If I had killed you and your team I could of made a side profit. Now that you have survived I wish to keep doing business with the Black Sun. Tell me what I can do to make this right?
Cade looks at the others then says Jabba we came here because we know of the business about the site. All we want to do at this point is reestablish your commitment to the Sun. We also want you to stop doing business with the Moff. Now I am good with you doing that. I can't speak for my friends here. Maybe you should offer them something?
Jabba looks knowing that Thi could kill him. Then he licks his tongue out.
What do each of you want? I will also agree to stop doing business with the Moff.
[ooc]
What do you guys want from Jabba?[/b]
"The Hutt's sworn word he will not try to kill us again unless we attack him." Thi'Wik says, then hoots in amusement. "And for him to take out a non-terminatable contract on himself for 1,000,000 credits, with the caveat that it is only activated if he violates that sworn oath." The overpowered blaster doesn't waver a centimeter from the fat hutt's face.
Taska shrugs. "I would point out to the Mrlissi that nothing he said technically precludes Jabba from inducing someone else to attack us on his behalf. I'm sure the Guild would be happy to take his money to kill us."
Her own blaster, still drawn, is significantly bigger than Thi's, though she isn't pointing it at the Hutt. "I'm fine with money, though. How much is your life worth to you, Jabba?"
"Let's be reasonable. I say no harm no foul on our loses, whether monetary or even resources, we have only truly lost a bit of time."
"Truthfully better gear and upgrades to our ship and perhaps some sort of peace agreement for any future meetings between ourselves and any representative of the Hutt organization."
Jabba laughs and then says I am in no position to disagree with your assessment. Is Bobba Fett in my throne room? The question goes out. And a tall man wearing mandalore armor appears.
Yes Jabba I am here.. He answers to the Hutt.
Jabba looks over and says My aide will give a pad, to sign. I am placing a bounty on my head for 1,000,000 credits should I harm my guests. Will you accept the job?
Fett takes the pad from one of Jabba's minions. He looks it over and then confirms his hire. He then looks at our group.
You know who I am and I have taken the job. Little bird I would leave while you can and take your friends with you.
Cade looks over at Fett and says Well Jabba we seem to be agreement that we can leave and you will be doing business with our organization still. As always good to see you..
Cade starts to leave and you all the choice to follow him out.
Cade is walks back out to the speeder waiting for you.
Thi'Wik tilts his head at Fett and Jabba, then his pistol vanishes into his sleeve again. "If want better defenses, send schematics of room, in detail, and 50,000 credits. I will send you plans for better defenses. Automated blasters. Better than pig guards." Thi'Wik comments, bobs his head at the Hutt and Fett, and then follows Cade out.
"Twice follow Cade. Twice Cade lead into trap. Third time, shoot Cade and collect reward." The bird warns Cade, loud enough for the rest of the room to overhear.
Taska chuckles at Thi'Wik's threat as she follows the others out. "That's what I tried to do when we first met him. Glad to see I'm not the only one who can recognize practicalities."
Reeb follows at a distance until they leave the Hutt's palace, then rejoins the group, silently trailing behind.
"I don't know what to think, if Fett was there, why didn't he defend Jabba?"
"Was this a ruse to convince us of Jabba's vulnerability and make us over-confident in dealing with him?"
Helrun continues to think along those lines, but doesn't further verbalize his thoughts.....
Cade pulls out his pad and then looks to Reeb. My boy did you get the information?
He then looks at everyone and says Working with me can be pain but is not profitable? He then waits for them answer and for Reeb to speak up. He pauses in thought and then say Reeb the information looking for is the Old Jedi outpost where the artifacts are coming from, we need to know where it is at. Then we can go there look for ourselves then figure out how to shut down the Moff.
Reeb hands him the information, not mentioning the computer 'virus' he implanted into the Hutt's system to delete any reference to him for the systems.
"Here you go...was easy!"
Cade looks it over and then says We head into the Deep South desert a place called Kyat Ridge. We will probably stop the local shops to get gear before we go. We can fly there in our ship
The group makes it back to the ship with no issues. You able to fly to the spot that is needed. As you land you notice a tall mountain in front of you. There appears to be no entrance in front. For those who are force sensitive you sense a strong disturbance here.
"If we are going out there we better upgrade the driodeka's environmental compensators, possibly add repulsor lifts."
"Maybe a sensory array that can cut through sand storms."
While no one could see her frown under her mask, Taska frowned out the front viewscreen at the mountain. "There's something bad out there. I have a bad feeling about this."
New Crawl
After the Heroes have negotiated with the mighty Jabba..
They find themselves at the old jedi outpost on tatooine.
In an attempt to stop a corrupt Moff from making a profit the group must brave the jedi outpost what lies inside will change them forever..
Meanwhile the Emperor not wanting anymore Jedi artifacts being on the market has dispatched his Inquisitor to oversee the destruction of the outpost.
Will the heroes make it in time..
The group moves forward and as they do you each see hole in the mountain. You can tell that some one or something has blasted into it. As the group moves closer you hear Cade kinda of mumble. The hole is about 40 feet in a circular pattern it is obvious that someone blasted into it. As you each climb into the chamber you notice it is hall and with four exits. This room has been picked clean and there old bodies on Jedi Masters on the ground. Cade seems to extremely upset and then he starts to talk.
This was a sacred site. How dare the Emperor do this. I should of expected no less rom a Sith Lord. He then kicks a rock and is it does the rock hits a panel. A light of a hologram appears of a Jedi Knight with grey in hair.
If you are seeing this then you must be apart of the old order. As you know we have been hunted to extinction and darkness has taken over. It is now more than ever we need to have hope.
After the Jedi where killed in order 66 the Empire decided that large force uses must be wiped out as well. Groups like the Matukai,Yasanna, and the Witches of Dathomir where the first to be hunted. Now the Force is out of balance. If you continue here you only find that which you bring with you. Consider going no further
After the hologram goes away there is heavy silence in the air.
Taska frowns, then, realizing no one could see her expression behind her mask, takes off her helmet. "The Matukai were not Jedi. They practiced meditation and martial arts, not mind control and ancient magic. Are you saying the Empire killed the Matukai because of a... a misunderstanding?"
Knowledge (jedi)
"That voice sounded familiar somehow....."
Helrun trails off realizing that for some reason he was looking around while the hologram was playing. He realized it was because he had spent a lot of time looking where no one else was.....
Perception (spot)
"Reeb, Thi'wik see if you can copy and retrieve any other messages from the computers."
Knowledge (the force)
"Seems the Empire wanted a monopoly on force use."
Reeb starts downloading any information he can, but also asks,
"What was order 66, and what are Sith and 'force'users?"
Thi'Wik whistles, and his R2 unit beeps irritably but blasts off on hover mode to get closer to the panel, bypassing the rubble, and plugs in. Thi hops through rubble nimbly and joins the mech, also plugging his comp unit in.
Helrun sees nothing and the words from Taska simply ring in the silence. Thi is unable to access anything from the computer that rests in the ancient outpost. Cade collects himself and then says That was Master Kenobi I knew him when I was younger. And yes the Empire wanted the Jedi out of the way. The Jedi Council a league of Jedi Masters thought the Sith had returned during the Clone War. There was nothing ever public knowledge about that. The Sith are sect of people who can use the Force. They use the Dark Side of the Force for their own ends. I am not surprise the Empire went after the others. They don't want anyone who can use the Force at all. Have any of you ever heard of Darth Vader?
Taska nods. "He's the Emperor's top enforcer. Supposed to be very tough." Her frown fades a little as she looks around. "I still don't see what this had to do with my people. We weren't wizards, we were martial artists."
Thi whistles in binary to his R2 unit, who beeps and boops back in the same language, and the two set to work.
"We are on a time-line people, THi'wek and Reeb get what you can and get out, don't worry about sorting or defragging anything, we only have a little while to recover anything that hasn't been stripped out of the entry areas."
Taska looks over at Helrun. "Why are we in a hurry? These people were killed and this looting occurred a long time ago." She pulls out a sensor and waves it at the area .
Repair:
Computer use:
Reeb offers his assistance to Thi and his droid
"We are in a hurry because we arrived; Jawas, Tusken Raiders and krayt dragons, are my current top three reasons to get in and get out of here."
"The list is subject to change as well."
Nothing reads on sensors for Taska. Reeb is able retrieve data but it makes no sense. It will take time to defrag. Thi finds no other address that in the feed. Hey is Vader Is all the Cade says as moves forward into the cave. He goes about 130 feet further in. If anyone follows him you come to room, with a door that shows someone tried to blast it. You also find Cade sitting on the floor as he does he closes his eyes.
Taska follows Cade into the next room with her bio-scanner still out. Her little spy droid, Drake, circles overhead near the ceiling, programmed to alert if it detects any incoming threats.
"Any energy readings?
Asks Helrun as the droid Drake takes flight.....
As Helrun walks he turns a corner and walks down it. After a while he realizes he is by himself.
Taska thinks she something on her scanner and goes to investigate. As she does she loses site of the group.
"Good old jedi mind trick."
Helrun uncollapses his staff and sets it ready should he encounter any trouble. He attempts the commlink...
Helrun gets nothing but static. As he walks the air gets cooler and there is shriek in the distance.
Blaster in one hand, bioscanner in the other, Taska continues on down the corridor.
Reeb checks his datapad to see what, if anything is active in this ruin.
Computer use:
Helrun marks the wall with an arrow and heads toward the disturbance, though not in too much of a hurry.
Thi looks over at Reeb, as he realizes that everyone else has vanished. "I thought we were in a hurry to leave, and the others go exploring?"
Thi see what he believes a droid of his earlier design in the corner of the room. He moves closer to it and realizes that he separate from the group now as well. He hears a screeching up ahead as well as disturbance in the force.
