"Also, keep in mind that they saw the Star Jewel drop us off in Landing Point North-it would be clear to any watchers that we were not acting alone. If we are to go see this Hutt, chances are he will seek to stack things in his favor as much as possible. He is not likely to grant us an audience under any circumstances other than those where he feels he has the clear upper hand. I don't advise an open meeting with him, nor do I think disguising ourselves to be the best course of action."

And just then the landing pad port door buzzes as someone outside is requesting admittance. Each of the landing pad areas in this area is surrounded by 4-meter walls, mostly to protect other ships and bystanders from the take off and landing engines, but also to provide some privacy and security to those whom pay the docking fees. Of course there are no ceilings over these areas, just to walls proving some very basic privacy.

"We go as we are, it is something we must investigate, and I have already sensed that going in without all of us is dangeruous and doomed to failure anyway." Jade comments, sounding as if her course of action was the only logical one given the facts. When the door buzzes, Jade grins. "They may have decided to come to us."

Perception Check, taking 10, for a total of 20, Sense Surrounding (Auto Success) to sense who and how many are on the other side of the door. She'll also search her feelings (succeeds even on a 1) to see if opening the door will have immediate consequences (ie bomb, assassin).

 

[Karl Green]

Through the Force, Jade is fairly certain that there is only one being on the other side of the door, and sensing her feelings, she get no sense of immidate danger (no bomb or assassin)... only an uneasy feeling as if she smelled something bad or distasteful.

 

[Shalimar]

"Arro, please show in our visitor, they should be alone."

At Casino City

The landing pad door opens to reveal a single creature, green-skinned with strong reptilian features and wearing dark purple formal robes, it smiles and bows low to you all, saying in a deep rich voice “Welcome to Casino City my masters. I am O’jon Getta’norm, your humble servant, and emissary of the great and grant Popottus the Hutt. The wise and most noble Popottus the Hutt seeks an audience with the Jedi Masters sent too our humble world to deliver us from the savage terrorist that haunt this world.”

Straightening up from his bow he continues “It would be my esteemed pleasure to escort you to the most beautiful palace of the modest and humble Popottus the Hutt where you could discuss any and all aid that his greatness could bestow upon you. I have the private airyacht of the caring and thoughtful Popottus the Hutt parked just outside to transport you in the greatest comfort and prompts speed to his enlightened presence.”

(OCC –anyone making a Galactic Lore skill roll of DC15 (trained or untrained) will know something of this species as it is fairly rare; spoiler for those who make it… )
[sblock]The creature is a Falleen, a semi-aquatic cold-blooded race that can slightly alter their skin color and naturally exuded pheromones which made them all but irresistible to the opposite sex of any known species. They are fairly xeno-phobic and rarely leave their homeworld, which is why they are so rare.[/sblock]

Looking beyond O’jon, the Jedi can see a blight yellow airyacht (basically an open-aired skiff or sail barge), with a Duros pilot. No one else can be seen in the immediate area…

Obviously, this is a trap. Even I'm not that dense. Serrana thinks. Though I wonder what's up with Jade -- she's supposed to be the calm, collected aristocrat; I'm the impulsive girl from the outer rim.

 

[Falkus]

Hutts certainly weren't known for their charity. If it wasn't a trap, than the only assistance Popottus would be providing would be aimed at helping himself. Best to approach this with caution.

 

[Shalimar]

The Hutt may just be feeling us out, wanting to know if we will affect his operation...then again it may just be a trap if he is involved in the plot. The Aristocrat tries to find any hint through the force which was the case.

OOC:
Taking ten on the Knowledge: Galactic Lore check, result = 20
Taking ten on a Search Your Feelings check, result = 26, to determine whether or not it is a trap, as opposed to just a discussion that could lead to a fight.

 

[Karl Green]

Jade again gets the feeling from the Force of no immidate danger (at least not within the next 10 minutes or so)...
