Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

The treeline looked empty. Almost disturbingly empty. Perhaps it was the way that it just suddenly stopped. But there was life in there, all of them could feel it thriving. It was like staring at the ocean and looking for water, you couldn't miss it, but if you wanted one part of the water, you had trouble.

With a little work, you manage to pinpoint about five creatures that seem to be watching you. The best you can figure is that they're near the treeline, but with the abundance of life, it is near impossible to tell if they are intelligent natives and not just animals.

“Barrick, if you sensed the voice what did it say?” asks a rooted and unmoving Skyka.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

"I could hear it in my mind, crying in distress," Barrick says, "but I couldn't understand the words, only the purpose behind the cries".

Sensing as she walked, Bud'd noticed that the others had not moved and hissed. Our "master" said to continue together! Frowning, she did her best to turn a little to the side (So she may keep an eye on the area where she sensed the watchers.) and see what the others were doing.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

When Bud'd turned to see the others, she heard a noise suddenly from the trees. It was loud, and probably deliberate, as it had been silent before. In a moment, three humanoids stepped out of the trees. They were small, with tanned skin and wore simple cloth clothes with green striped pattersn along them. One of them held a weapon resembling a bow, though it was square, it was still most likely a weapon.

The two others held long poles with clamps on the end. There were small disks within them. Skyka did not recognize who they were, but noticed that they wore markings of a clan she'd not seen before. They said nothing, but watched them all very carefully, looking ready to attack at the first sudden move.

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 5)

Though Skyka was troubled by the off world weapons nothing crossed her serene face as she spoke rapidly in a language that depended upon speed and little on enunciation, (Sentarrii)

“I’m

of the dark forest tribe, these are my friends. We mean you know harm as we seek a

by the name of

OOC: Proper names rarely, if ever, get replaced when spoken in a new language so not all of it is in spoiler text.

 

[deadestdai]

Slowly turning to the direction of the three, Bud'd awaits their response to Skyka's words, calm though in readiness to react to any aggressive action.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

There was a long, uneasy silence. Somehow, it looked as if they were trying to work out what Skyka had said. One of the men with a polearm took a small step forward, tilting his head like a confused animal. He then spoke in a gruff voice, "Isthik elteo?"

It wasn't Sentarii that he spoke. In fact, the sound of the words was in no way similar to anything any of them had heard before. However, there was something distant about the words...almost familiar but not.

There is a sound behind you towards the ship. Something like footsteps on metal.

"Something's behind us." Aerek said, trying to keep his voice low enough that only his companions could hear him. He pivoted, and prepared to draw lightsaber or blaster depending on what he sees.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Aerek quickly noticed why he'd heard the metal sound. There was another of the humanoids standing up on the ship itself. Somehow, he'd managed to climb up onto one of the lower sections near the cockpit and was watching them carefully, holding another of the strange polearms. On the ground next to the ship, were three others. Except these looked less similar to the other. They were larger, bulkier...with a few strange patterns across their skin itself. They held polearms, but looked like they were more dangerous with bar hands.
