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

[Shayuri]

Kacela looks around behind her and spies what looks like...another Jedi? Yes, and beset by more thugs who'd been unwilling to back down. Her lekku twitched in annoyance. Still, he seemed to be doing all right by depriving them of their weapons. Of course, if they chose to press regardless, what then? He might be forced to injure them. Unacceptable.

She crossed over towards them, concentrating as she went. A lightsaber was not the best approach to this problem...but she had a powerful ally in the Force.

...it was a slippery thing sometimes though. A reminder that she was a padawan still, as she struggled to focus her will and unleash it in a powerful blow that was still restrained enough not to injure. Just a little longer....

(OOC - Moving towards Reks and the mob, positioning so I can get as many mobsters in a Force Slam cone as possible without including Reks. Use the Force: [roll0] )

This Gand and Cal watch both groups but keep alert to the first group of ten miners who seem fairly cowed right now and do not attempt anything.

Reks cleaves through two of the miner's club like weapons with easy and then a shot from Jihahna drops another. The miners seem shocked and look over just in time to see Kacela advance on them with a lightsaber in hand. She tries some hockey Jedi trick moving her hands and knocks by barrels over not to far from them. This is too much and they all drop their weapons (those that still have functioning weapons) and raise their hands. The aqualish curses in his native tongue and says in basic "Fools you are I tell you! Jobs will end with interference they will!!" and with that he turns and bolts as fast away from the group as he can...

GM: Reks can take an opportunity attack against the Aqualish if you want, but if your lightsaber knocks him below zero he may die. If someone wants to shot at him he is 24 meters from Reks, 32 meters from Jihahna and 44 meters from everyone else. The rest of the miners have surrendered. You can question them if you want or look around for the authorities (none has appeared yet). Remember Vivian Rell is here so she would probably know where most such are located. When Jihahna moved over towards the second group she noticed the Aqualish running away is the same one who threatened them yesterday but he is not wearing his Czerka Corp jacket today. Instead he is dressed like a simple miner. Also I am going to make some secret rolls here and tell you want they mean if anything... rolls will be in OOC

As the short violence ends, Kacela is shaken by 'something' she feels. It is almost as if the dark side of the Force was present here, effecting the people and moving them towards violence, but then as fast as she gets the feeling it is gone. The present had withdrawn maybe? Just for a second she thought she imagined someone standing nearby, a shadow really, and then it disappeared. Jihahna and Reks both feel a tremor in the Force, like a clammy blanket had been wrapped around them but then it was gone. The feelings passing as fast as they came.

 

[GreenKarl]

Vivian runs over to the man whom Jihahna shot and after a quick check nods her head to the ex-mercenary. She then says to the others "Czerka might send some public enforcer personal but I doubt they will do anything to the miners. I can't understand why they attack though or how they know you were coming today..."

Standing up and looking towards Reks she adds "Ah... excuse me sir, are you a Jedi by chance? Were you sent to aid us here also? I only knew about the Republic Survey people but if you are here to help I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance. Especially if the miners are going to riot like this..."

 

[Trogdor1992]

Turning to the woman talking to him Reks says "I am only an acolyte in the ways of the force, and I was sent here to investigate the sentience of the Kwi, as well as why this fighting is occurring."

 

[Trogdor1992]

"My name is Reks Seviir, and you all are?"

 

[GreenKarl]

The togruta approaches Reks with her hand out if he wants to shake it. "My name is Vivian Rell, and I am Republic Survey superiors for this planet. My associate here is one Jihahna Darut, whom I’ve hired to help out also. The other three here…" she says as pointing back at Kacela Nejis and the other two team members still on the ship ramp "where hired by the Survey Corp on Coruscant. The problems we are having are related to the Kwi, but I am surprised that you learned of it so quickly. We only discovered that they were sentient ourselves tens days ago. Anyway, we are trying to stop a massacre of the Kwi by mercenaries that just arrived here yesterday. If you wanted to come to our compound I can give you and our new arrives a briefing and get any suggestions you might have on resolving the situation…”

The miners that have surrendered to you all are looking around a bit confused and not sure what they should do next. A couple scuffle their feet and or look at the ground in some embarrassment, but one fellow standing next to Vivian and Reks speaks up "Buts there just stupid beasts. And Otta Rew got his throat cut by ones of their beasts just last week. We ant doing nothing but defending ourselves from their unprovoked attacks!"

 

[Trogdor1992]

Pointing to his forehead and sending a slight breeze of force energy in Vivian's direction Reks smirks and says "We have ou r ways you know. I suppose I shall accompany you to see what I may learn the easy way." Noticing the other Jedi Reks smiles and says "Looks like you managed to find yourselves quite the help in this."

 

[Sezarious]

Jihahna nods somewhat absently at the miners surrender. That damn gut feeling tearing at her insides. Wide eyed, she snaps her head towards Vivian. "We need to check back at your offices, double-time!"

With that, she turns and bolts, before stopping. These gut feelings always made her act unpredictably. "Whoever wants to come along, follow me. We can split up into two teams to find out more if you want, but that droid needs to remain secure." She yelled angrily at her new companions. With that, Jihahna was off to secure the droid. She had a bad feeling about all of this.... And she knew that it had only started with these miners.

[sblock=ooc]Sorry Guys. Jihahna is a jerk whenever the force touches her. That's how i wanted her to be.

[Binder Fred]

The gand returns the blaster to her hip and calmly walks over to Solm's unconscious body. Grabbing him two-handed, he starts dragging the feeorin by the back of the collar towards the main gathering, plain ignoring the miners that are refusing to 'disperse'.

one fellow standing next to Vivian and Reks speaks up "Buts there just stupid beasts. And Otta Rew got his throat cut by ones of their beasts just last week. We ant doing nothing but defending ourselves from their unprovoked attacks!"

click drone hum jumble whirr "Respectfully, there seems to be reason behind those attacks," inserts the just-arrived Gand, letting go of its burden. It matter-of-factly sits on Solm's prone form, almost like he's guarding it. guttural click jumble click clicketty burr jumble WHIRR "These humble ones seek to find out what those reasons are, so the conflict can end in happiness for all." A tilt of the head, mist reflecting in her compound eyes, jumble whirr clacketty low-drone "Would it be impolite for this one to ask how you came to be here?"
