Knowing a dismissal when he hears one, Audi ibn Jad rises, bows and retreats with his Brothers . At mention of taking in the Market, the Trapper shakes his head.
Best keep Borak away from the dice.
Audi laughs.

Audi ibn Jad dutifully follows along. The Trapper's blue eyes noticing the layout, people and body languages being displayed at their approach.
Speaking only when directly spoken to, Audi does make any ritualistic greetings, gratitudes expected of another Freeman.
Audi ibn Jad does as he is bid. The Ranger was used to taking orders. His brief time spent at the Wild Freman Village of Crapswept Cliff taught him much of his current knowledge of Arrakis, and how to survive it. Hearing the Maker's arrival, disgust and departure, Audi only continues his carrying and sweeping as they trudge through the landscape. At the Red Shallow dunes Sietch, the Transporter only waits for permission to enter.
Arriving as he predicted (late and in need to clean up afterwards), Audi ibn Jad nods his acceptance of Thumper duty.
Their water tech will mean a 20% tax, but still 80% is better than sand. The Trapper smiles under his protective gear, as he races a bit closer to the comm unit to set up the Thumper. Once set up, Audi races back to help cover up any tracks, traces, cigarette butts left behind.... Trailbreaker (Ex): A transporter constantly works to obscure his trail. He increases the Survival DC to track him, or a group of which he is a part, by an amount equal to half his ranger level (minimum 1). This does not stack with similar abilities, such as a traceless operative’s trackless ability. This ability replaces wild empathy.
Audi ibn Jad watches with blue eyes brighter by the swiftness and practiced performance perpetrated by his people.....
I do enjoy that our dps and our Healer is the same person...lol. Nice moves, Kasit!
Audi sighs as the two techs turn towards their advance! The Trailsman waves from 30' away.
I have Audi at 25. Apparently the old man that worries... I was under the impression that we were quite a bit of distance away from the targets? Thought that Stealth was to get within a more Combat distance? I am picturing Audi ibn Jad as an experienced smuggler. His preparations are sought after for Planning Routes to avoid Harkenen patrols, to intercept Harkenen supply trains, and to even lead Infiltration teams to various Harkenen industrial sectors. His combat routine is usually to Scout, assess, plan, and take advantage of terrain, timing and surprise. He uses Nets to Entangle (and confuse) his opponents while limiting their movements. His follow up would be to subdue (Grapple, Pin, Tie up in net) his target. He does have plenty of lethal weapons for such occasion as it is warranted. Don't be surprised when he sighs, shakes his head in aspiration or even yank at a tuffs of Desert foliage in frustration. He is a planner, so most spontaneously inspired performance will be met with mini tantrums...lol
The Trailbreaker's blue eyes shine in appreciation of this opportunity. Determination of victims not with standing, Audi ibn Jad prepares to take the rearguard to cover any traces of the four's origin point, along with their route to the crewmen. Trailbreaker (Ex):

Dipping low as they traverse the downward slope of the ever present dunes, the Ranger uses the tumbling terrain, wind swept sands and the grateful glaring of the hot sun to further aid his endeavors. Both hands free of intrusive obstacles (having loosened and readied his various weapons for ease of procurement), Audi ibn Jad plots their course to their objective as a Conductor does his Symphany.
With a Ranger, a Rogue, a Slayer and a Swashbuckler we are looking famous on our Skills. We are really only missing Diplomatic techniques but I just chalk that up as standard Fremen foilbles....
These Abilities will be used constantly unless otherwise prevented. Trailbreaker (Ex) and Plot Course (Ex:
Trailbreaker (Ex)
This ability replaces wild empathy. Plot Course (Ex): At 3rd level, a transporter can spend 1d4 hours and attempt a DC 15 Knowledge (geography) check to plot a subtle course of travel between his current location and another destination. The transporter’s course of travel is almost never direct, as it is optimized for smuggling. Thereafter, the transporter gains a +2 bonus on initiative, Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival checks involving traveling along his plotted course. So, any time we are Traveling somewhere, he will want to Plot Course. I get there will be scenes where time is of the essence, but I would like to attempt it in most circumstances. I really thought of Dune when I read the Archetype.
Still staring straight, sights of sand and silt surrendering to the strong winds, Audi only nods his agreement to his brothers eagerness and experience. Having previously plotted the route here, the Transporter does feel a bit eager (and experienced) enough to demonstrate proper protocols to warrant a bit of fun.
Audi ibn Jad lies still on his belly. His blue eyes staring straight ahead, watching, detailing, deliberating the two off-worlders working on the down comm unit. His sand-colored still suit blending into his terrain allows for close distance perspectives, although these may not be the droids they're looking for.... The experienced Transporter smiles while witnessing the restless movements of his peers.
Audi ibn Jad just continues to watch the two workers.
Having fun relearning stuff!
@FangDragon have you seen this Trait? Ironic considering our environment...lol. Splash Attack: Source People of the River pg. 25 You catch others off-guard when a confrontation escalates. As long as you are standing in or adjacent to water, or holding at least a pint of liquid (including insoluble liquids like oil or alchemist’s fire), you can perform a dirty trick combat maneuver to blind a foe within reach without provoking an attack of opportunity. If you select the Improved Dirty Trick feat, you gain a +2 trait bonus on dirty trick combat maneuvers to blind foes as long as you are standing in or adjacent to water or holding a pint of liquid.
Much gratitude! We are having Game Night tonight but I will definitely be posting in the morning....
Would we have had been given (earned, Crafted) our own individual Fremkit contents:
A Fremkit contains the following: Paracompass (navigation tool, tailored for Arrakis' astronomical and geographic properties)
Seems logical being 3rd level that experienced Foreman would have a known requirement for the Desert. Otherwise I have readjusted his Equipment purchases with the 250gp starting currency. On the subject of Healing (which probably will be important), Alchemist Extracts would work in this setting. If we think that our answer I could change a bit...
Hello everyone! There are still things he needs to purchase and other minor adjustments, but he should be ready ish.... That Still suit is really 1000gp?
This will be Dorian Grey's submission (although still need to clean a few things up...) Thank you for your indulgence!
I feel like if your last quote didn't prove an attack of opportunity than nothing would....

Do we not have a Trapper? I thought that was covered. I am willing to retool Audi if we need a Trapper?
Audi ibn Jad waits on the stairs heading downward to this mysterious room.
The scarred 1/2 orc proceeds down to stare at the inscription above the entrance way.
The Witch tries to recall if anyone famous said this quote.
Audi ibn Jad follows along with the group through the house and to the door to the basement.
The 1/2 orc looks over at Aaaggghhh as he is volunteering to proceed the party down into the depths. He also motions to
