[IC] SWS/DnD5, Star Wars the Old Republic – A Gathering Darkness

Cal glanced at Jihahna with concern. He checked his medpack to see if he had anti-anxiety medications suitable for a human or near-human.

 

[Shayuri]

Kacela lifts an eyebrow in surprise at Jihahna's outburst...but when she starts whispering apologies, the Jedi goes to Jihahna's side and leans over a little to put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"It's all right," Kacela said softly. "I take no offense. You have nothing to fear."

The landspeeder hauling the large external pod arrives and the pilot of the airhooper and the landspeeder detach a large pod and hock it up to the airhooper via an external sling hock. The miners look at the team a bit out of curiosity but don't say anything and instead load themselves onto the landspeeder for the trek up to the mining camp.

The jungle noises get louder and the mist rolls back over the landing area, reduces visual range to less the 50 meters... it almost seems the world is shrinking for a moment.

the Jedi goes to Jihahna's side and leans over a little to put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"It's all right," Kacela said softly. "I take no offense. You have nothing to fear."

The short gand reaches out a three-fingered hand from the other side, his touch unobtrusive on the human's arm.

Jihahnas shaking slows a little. On realising everyone seems to show genuine concern for her, she is maybe even more confused than before. But she is disarmed as well. She looks up into Kacelas eyes, holding her gaze momentarily before whispering "I fear the force". Her shaking slightly worsening once again as the feeling or her memory of it washes over her.

"I also fear to lose control" she adds, choking back the urge to cry. She smiles at the medics concern for her, allowing the thoughts of the present to fill her mind. As he assists her, she responds. "Thanks Cal, you're alright".

Finally, when the gand offers its hand to help her up, she takes it, replying in kind "Companionship and assistance". Her grip is firm as she says this, looking the Gand in the eyes. She turns and looks at the whole group again. "Okay, so now that I've had my little moment I guess that makes three locations to go to so far... The mining camp, the area south and someplace where something very evil is awakening towards or in the mountains."

The gand carefully taps the little box of the communicator, with its coded patter. cruck mumble jumble high-whirr warble "Czerka Mercs have not found them yet." guttural drone clacketty clicketty click "So these ones too could hunt Kwi until red Domir sets?"

The buzz of gand humour: clacketty "A race," concludes the female voice, and its stance might or might not reflect the baring of teeth.


OOC: Metaphorically speaking, of course.

 

[Binder Fred]

The deed is decided!

The gand approaches the speeder from the front, pushes himself up and walks along the side to drop into one of the back seats.

click drone jumble "Cal Domaru's map?" she inquires.


OOC: Trying to identify the best spot for the kwi to hide in between raids on the camps... say, near water and near someplace they can (more easily) lose/spot/defend against any pursuit? Survival: This is how it starts: 1D20+4 = [15]+4 = 19

 

[Sezarious]

Taking the Gands enthusiam as an opportunity to shift concern away from her, at least for now, Jihahna stands. "Errr... Right. No point standing around doing nothing". She gets up as she forces the dark feelings into the back of her mind.

She smiles politely at the others and walks over to assist the Gand and gets into the speeder, though is less aware of her surroundings now, a pensive look on her face as she checks to her blaster rifle, polishing over it once again with a cloth.

OOC: Jihahna, now shaken, will take a metaphorical and literal back seat in the speeder for now as she tries to deal with her feelings.

 

[Shayuri]

Kacela watches Jihahna meditatively, then gets into the speeder as well, taking the pilot's seat.

"The Kwi first then," she says, and starts the engine up.

The team piles into the landspeeder, with the young Kacela at the 'wheel' and heads towards the jungle. This Gand finds the place where the mercenaries burned there way through the underbrush and into the green. It looks like they used flamethrowers to cut there way through the jungle wall and that the mercs had a good sized skiff or similar repulserlift judging by the 'hole' they cut through to get through here.

A few hundred meters in the thick underbrush gives way to a forest of fungal growths and jungle trees but it is open enough that the landspeeder would be able to maneuver around parts of it. It might not be advisable to go full speed, but the team will make good time through the jungle floor without many obstacles.

GM: This is where you are going to need some Skill checks, depending on what you want to do. If you want to find the most like place for water or try and do some tracking, Wisdom (Survival). Sensing life or something similar (like asking the 'Force' which way to go), that is Charisma (Use the Force). You could maybe try something like a Wisdom (Insight) check to think of the best place to hide or run away would be. You might use Wisdom (Perception) to figure out likely paths, etc. If you want to assist someone else you can gain Advantage on any of these rolls, just decide who is making the roll and who is assisting...
