Vesper walks in behind Gareth and has a glance around the room, trying to take in as many possible threats as she can.
Perception Check. (1d20+2=10)
She follows him up to the bar and stands next to him, leaning lithely back against the bar, once again watching the other patrons, but listening to Gareth's conversation.
You did not notice much except that the cleaning droids for the bar need to be repaired because the floor looks like it is growing
The short man walks over to you with a rag in his hand and states I am Fatalis who wants to know?
I need a Perception check from Vesper and Gareth
Over 15
Spoiler:
under the rag in his hand is a hold out blaster with the safety on but with his thumb resting on the switch
“Tal, let me know that she was sending over a few specialists that I should talk with. Your bunch is hotter than a Gamorrean sow in heat. I have a bunk room over the bar you and your friends hide out up there until morning and then we will talk.”
Maya "well I did not think I would be snubbed for offering 150 credits for walking 200m to a bar you can hide in and drop off a little code cylinder"
She tells you that you can leave her here and she will have some of her people help her. She gives Mossi the cylinder and pulls off an access hatch of one of the cleaning droids and starts to fiddle wit the circuit board.
As all of you leave the room and make your way down to the Sarlac’s Hole you are walking into a section of the station that you can tell is not meant for the tourist business. The halls are dirty and covered with graffiti some for the imperials some against. You notice that there is no constable of imperial presence here. Reaching the pub it is a red door in the wall with a small sign on the wall next to it. As you open the door your mind is assaulted by the smells of unwashed bodies, grease, burnt food, and strong drinks. The noise is deafening as a recording of Wookie Drum dancing music is blaring
Spoiler for Kal
Spoiler:
Kal there is something not right with the music you can tell that there is a code hidden in the music you are not able to tell what it means because you can identify it as coming from the short claw clan
There are two bartenders who are polar opposites of each other one is a large strong and and the other a small person about 1m tall working on a shelf set behind the bar. The booths have privacy screens that can be activated for a small fee and the room seams crowded with various workers from the station
Maya groans as the medpac is applied to her wounds, staunching the flow of blood and easing the pain but not really helping her but she is not getting worse. Looking at all of you she states simply “Thank you for your help out there, I am not sure about what I would have done without you all. I am a courier and I need to make a delivery and I am in no shape to complete my mission. I have 150 credits that I can give all of you if you take this code cylinder to a bartender for me.”
If you accept the offer
Spoiler:
The name of the bartender is Fatalis Rovin, he can be found at the Sarlac’s Hole .
If you decline the offer
Spoiler:
Thank you for your help and I will be getting on my way, if you hide out in a bar somewhere and not cause any trouble the heat will die down and you should be ok.
Maya looks over at you and states that there is a small storage closet down the alley that she knows of that you all can hide in for a while. It will be cramped and we will not be able to stay long.
Mossi fires at the troopers and hit the first one with a grazing shot distracting them while Vesper step ups and pushing with the Force slams both of the stormtroopers against the wall breaking them open like an egg. Maya looks over at Vesper and states that we should get off the promenade as fast as we can before the constables start looking for the trouble makers. The others on the promenade are looking at Vesper and pointing and with the sounds of the blaster fire ending are starting to point at you.
Phren Ordo and Allen start to help Maya off the street and down the alley in front of you as the two informants move towards you speaking into the comlinks. Mossi pulls his blaster and fires at the first one and hits him squarely in the chest killing the man instantly. The crowds are now screaming and starting to run when Kal takes his action to notice that two stormtroopers have run out of the alley down the block catching all of you in a cross fire. The storm troopers fire at Mossi and Kal and miss horribly. Garreth puss his blaster and fires at the other informant hitting him, he drops down with a smoking hole where his brain used to be. Vespa pulls her weapons scanning the surroundings looking for her next target. Mossi swings his weapon back to the storm troopers and fires quickly hitting a wall that is serving as cover for his target. Kal will take a shot (1d20+2 → [8,2] = (10)) missing the troopers. The two ST fires back at Mossi and Kal ( a 15 and 18) hitting both of you Mossi take 9hp and Kal 11hp. Garreth and vespa both fire back at the ST and the shots goes wild. Phen and Allen are continuing to pull Maya off the main street looking for cover but are not progressing quickly due to her injuries. You start to hear people screaming for help and that they are contacting the authorities and station constables.
You all notice two men loitering on the Promenade who do not appear to be part of the larger crowd. Each seems to be scanning the crowd closely as though looking for someone, though they pay no attention to the heroes. You also notice that, despite wearing normal traveling clothes, each man is carrying a hold-out blaster tucked into his jacket, and both men are wearing identical garments and they are talking into hidden comlinks in there sleeves. As you are looking around you are in a small narrow street with an intersection about 20 meters down. A woman with short black hair and the greasy uniform of a mechanic comes stumbling onto the Promenade, clutching her midsection as though injured. She struggles to make her way across the floor in your direction, though clearly she is having difficulty walking. “Please, help me,” she calls out to you. “There are credits in it for you, just help me!” Mere seconds later, two stormtroopers burst into the area from the south end of the Promenade. They raise their blasters, aiming them at the woman, and shout through their helmet speakers, “Step away from that woman. She is under arrest in the name of the Emperor!”
As you all pass through the doors in to the station you get to the promenade you will see:
The Promenade is filled with the bustle of revelry and commerce.
Spilling out of the gambling halls are the sounds of victory and the
moans of defeat, while the music of local bands issues from the
cantinas. Only a handful of citizens mill about in the main areas of
the Promenade, a few gazing out the massive windows at the planet
Brentaal hovering below. Businesspeople hawk their wares to the
passersby, and a few Imperial stormtroopers make their way down
the main avenue of the Promenade on their usual patrol at a
leisurely pace.
Mossic speaking back to Tal:
“I am sorry sir, I was did not know that we were detaining your help” He pushes a button on his pad and it emits a loud beep and her looks over at the Quarren and the Miralukan and calls them back over to his station and tells all of you that your licensing has been returned and all is in order. Please be on your way

As you leave you cabin for the last time you walk with the rest of the passengers down the halls to the airlock. After about 45 min in line you manage to make it on to the station. Looking around you will see 5 customs officers at there stations, Mossic is easily identified by his turban; his line is moving quickly and in an orderly fashion. With careful observation you notice that he has a small basket next to his inspection table and he touches it with his foot and if the person being processed does not drop an acceptable amount of credits he calls over the only two imperial guards in the room.

Welcome to Sel Zonn station and he scans your licenecing documents and starts to inspect your eqipment. He spots you frag granade and states to you "Please remove that device slowly and do not activate it. We do not allow explosives like that on the station. we understand that you may be unfamiler with our customes and laws but if you are willing to surender that device we can proceedwith the rest of the processing?"
The two Imperial guards are moveing to the inspection station quickly and when they arrive they bark out "PLACE THE DEVICE ON THE TABLE NOW" They have pulled their blaster carbines out and have taken positions to put you in a crossfire. Mossic steps up to the Imperials and tells them "It is ok he warned me about the frag, he told me it was a souvanierfrom his service in the wars and wanted to keep it. He suffered a head injury durring the war and his friend over there is helping him get back home. He has agreed to surender the device, we do not have a problem here" This seams to calm down the guards who pick up the granade and then scan your documents with their pad and walk back to their post.
Mossic: "You owe me, You will meet me tonight after my shift is over in 3 hours at the back room of Mechanical Allies it is droid repair and sales shop ont the prominade. Bring 100 credits if you know what is good for you."
As you leave you cabin for the last time you walk with the rest of the passengers down the halls to the airlock. After about 45 min in line you manage to make it on to the station.

Gareth waits to be cleared and then goes to meet Phenn and Vesper after the inspection.
Mossic inspects your paperwork and scans the licensing paperwork with his pad to check for forgeries. He asks you to open your pack and starts to look in the pack. He finds the saber in your pack but does not pull it out. The blood drains from his face and you can tell his heart is racing. Looking up at you he taps the basket with his foot and whispers "If you want to avoid the Imperials over there my children need better medical care than I can afford. Scratch my back and I will scratch yours"..............
Vesper follows the others into the line with the Customs Official in the purple turban.

She tries to say as little as possible and give truthful answers, so as not to garner to much scrutiny.
Mossic looks over your blaster and licensing and is scrutinizing the documentation closely. He scans the license with his pad so he can check the validity of your paperwork.
"Please step into the scanner booth over there" pointing to a blue glass station about 20 meters to the left of you. There is a small line of people waiting to be scanned.
Please give me Perception check

you notice that all but 2 of the people in line are not human
Mossic: "I think we need to check you out closer. You look like the type to start trouble." He starts to input some data on his pad and makes it quite clear he is suspicious of you.
How long are you expecting to stay on the station?
All in the station, a few days or a few weeks wont be long

He pulls the blaster off his leg. He produces a battled looking set of paper work.
Oh yeah and this
He fishes out a battled and beaten saber. As he does he bends to bring some paper work up blocking the view with his body and making sure the customs man can see 20 credits go into his basket.
It doesn't work, not sure why, heh It's former owner did not go down easy..got a good payday off that one. There is the paper for carrying it, The hoops I had to jump though to Carrie a busted saber. Well worth it as you would not believe how useful it is to carry a dead Jedi's saber on one's belt in some parts of the galaxy . Keeps the lowlifes in line when they know you killed one to get it. But in these parts best to let folks in charge know I have it. Wouldn't want to get confused for a traitor over a busted saber by some trigger happy trooper now .

That about covers it.
Mossic looks over at you and immediately covers the saber with your backpack. Whispering to you “What do you think you are doing pulling one of those out on this station. Do you want to get killed? Put a blaster in your mouth and pull the trigger it will be faster than anything that the imperials will do for you. That is as good as a death sentence. Look I have no love for them but I cannot just let that walk into the station. I have no children but I do have 3 wives that are not working. Help me and I will help you (tapping the basket)" He then states loudly for the Imperials to hear " We need to wait for your licensing to come back, please put away your belongings and sit in the detention area on the red chairs."
You find the paperwork easy to understand and the forms. I will need a perception check please Allen

Spoiler:
As you are writing at the desk you see a small piece of paper that has falen between the bulkhead and the desk. After about 5 min of work you retreve the note that read
Drake,
Watch you step on the station and check out the dancer at the Sarlac's Hole she is quite the looker and she has ways of getting information. Her name well what she uses for a name is Sojourn Price. I have found her mostly .................(as the rest of ther note has had a strange liquid spilled on it and is unreadable)
Vesper wipes the sweat from her brow and dons her cloak before heading over to the bar. She glances behind her to see if her sparring partner is following and then orders a water. Taking it, she says to the bartender, "do you happen to know of anywhere on the station where one might be able to find employment? I have been travelling for a while and am running low on credits."
"water you must be getting low on credits, if your quick you might be able to grab that other low life that you were playing with in the corner and catch up to that FRU FRU guy and his pall the drunk and convince them that your skill will be of some use"
Mossi gives a cold smile and looks the man over. " I could use some work, I don't have much cause for an issue long as it pays in cold hard credits"
"That good you look like the type that would make a Gamorrean look like an upstanding citizen" He then walks over to another customer and you spot a small piece of paper tucked under your glass.
Spoiler:
on the note it is written "This one is OK he might work out for S. Tal Regalia" .
Sorry all but it has been crazy at work the last few days and I just wanted to let all of you know that I will be out of town until 10/9 setting up a new call center. I will try to get it kicked off when I am on the road but posting will be infrequent. After I get back we will start hard and heavy I know all of you are itching to get started.
Of Course. I'm thinking...very rag tag, dented , scratched etc with various markings of merc companies on it (Think Bobba Fett.
I would need to say no to this because I think it would be unbalanceing to the game to start with but I will make sure that you have the oppertunity to get the soon after the game starts. If you want to talk about this more email me and we can talk.
Ok just about ready to get started so let have everyone that has a profile post to this message thread on the PBP discussion section
Bubba's Dawn of Defiance Discussion Thread
Just let me know this is the final character, so we can try to get started sooner than I thought. I will be a little slow on the start this next week or so but will progress faster.
Vesper a female Miraluka Jedi, orphaned by the Jedi purges she has completed most of her tattoos and is now out in the galaxy looking for adventure.
Please post if I have this correct for you character
Everything but the Jedi part. She is actually a Jensaari (Core Rulebook p. 106-107), I just had to take Jedi because it is the only Force Class now, no more Force Adept. Jensaari are an offshoot of the Jedi Order so they still use Lightsabers. They dip into Sith Lore as well though, so they can use Dark Side Powers.
That will work for me I missed that the first time
Also, Orphaned is probably to harsh a word. The initial Jedi Purge (Order 66) wasn't that long ago Timelinewise, so she still would have been old enough not to have technically been an orphan (plus her mother is still alive, she's not a Jedi/Jensaarai, just her adoptive father). If you are changing the Time Period that the AP is set in however then this might have an impact on her background (just let me know)
Nope that works I was reading your background to quick and missed some details ( long night ) the other equipment will be fine
Allen a Quarren Soldier who has been a mercenary that has fallen on some hard times
Mossi Durrn a human fallen Jedi, he has seen better days and is just one step about a homeless street bum/ drunk
Vesper a female Miraluka Jedi, orphaned by the Jedi purges she has completed most of her tattoos and is now out in the galaxy looking for adventure.
Gareth Darkstalker a human soldier was specializing in demolitions, a veteran from the outer rim who is looking for the next paying job.
Phen Ordo Human (mandalorian) Soldier, a mercenary and bounty hunter looking for a way back into the fight.
Gareth and Phen have been working together for the last few years and have formed a bond bound by shared blood and pain.
Thunn a Cathar scoundrel/ scout details to follow
I think I am missing some one and because one of our fated few here cannot make a decision and has a few different character class/race combos out there. Please post if I have this correct for you character
