OCC –note that I just want to keep the game moving along, and it seems that the group is mostly agreeing to go with the Falleen to see the Hutt… if this is not the case I can edit… but again, need to keep you moving forward. Hope that is cool

O’jon smiles even wider when the Jedi agree, and leads them to the airyacht. Serrana, Jade and Talesa all find him to be strangely attractive and comfortable to be around, but quickly shake off the affects as the realize what is happening is not normal… O’jon just smells really, really good (although Serrana has the hardest time and the creature Falleen seems to delight and staring at the young Twi’lek. ARRO does notice the young Jedi smiling at O’jon more then might be healthy but then she shakes her head and starts frowning again).
The airyacht quickly lifts off and makes it way toward Popottus the Hutt’s palace, flying over most of the buildings, as O’jon points out different casinos that the Hutt owns and other ‘public work projects’ (or at least what a Hutt would consider public works).
The Duras pilot brings the craft in for a smooth touchdown on a roof-landing pad of the fortress/palace, some 100 meters above the valley floor. In fact, the top of the palace sticks up over the rim of the valley and affords a view of the desert beyond. What must be an advance reflective shield are in affect here as there is almost no wind or dust on the roof even through all can see it blowing hard in the desert areas.
There is only one other being awaiting them, a Wookiee, leaning causally on a large poleaxe like weapon, and a bowcaster slug over his shoulder. The left eye of the Wookiee appears to be cybernetic, and around his neck he is wearing what appears to be a necklace of bones and strangely the head of a protocol droid.
As the Jedi and ARRO disembark, the Wookiee growls something in Shyriiwook and then the eyes of the droid head start blinking and say in broken Basic “
zzzcccrreechhh buzz Took you long enough green skin buzzzzzzzz-crakkk The boss worm will see you all now. Buzzzzz ccccceeeekkk”
O’jon smiles polity at the Wookiee and bowing to Serrana and says “
This way my masters, and I will take you to his most gracious and helpful presence, Popottus the Hutt, may his light forever grace the Republic.” The Falleen then lean leads them towards a large elevator platform near the landing pad that can easily accommodate three times as many people. Everyone of course notices that the Wookiee seems to wish to bring up the rear and casually slings the poleaxe over his shoulder.
The platform quickly lowers you down about five meters into a large audience like room, with golden engraved pillars spaced around a open area about twenty meters across and long. There are scores of other beings here, mostly back away from the open area… and a large fat orange colored Hutt lounging on a raised dais overlooking all.
Two red skinned Twi’lek girls, dressed in skimpy costumes crouch near the Hutts tail and stare intently at the Jedi… one of them is the Force User Jade, Elan and Jerac sensed earlier. Four Weequary guards wearing double suits of link-flex armor and armed with vibro-poleaxes are standing in front of the dais, while a dozen Gamorreans armed with axes and wearing primitive chain like armor are at the sides. The group also sees perhaps another score of other guards of various species, with blaster rifles slug over their shoulders and pistols at their sides, but who look fairly nervous and ready to use their weapons at a moment’s notice. There remains another score or so of beings, spread throughout the room but all staring at the Jedi now, drinking and muttering quietly among themselves. Most of these don’t look like they are armed or are anything more then common rift-raff and hanger-ons.
“
Ho, Ho, Ho, ba’wow’ ga go ta, itba toe mattie too? Dew est bo’wana go fo jus kaa waka doo. Ho, Ho, Ho” the Hutt says looking the group over. Its huge tongue then splits out of its mouth as it seems to lick its lips.
(OCC –spoiler for those that speak Huttese
[sblock]"Ha, these are the Jedi sent to save this dust bowl? They looks too small for much besides dancing at my court, Ha!"[/sblock]
O’jon Getta’norm smiles and bows again to the Hutt. Straightening up he looks back to the Jedi (Serrana in particular) and says with a charming smile “
The most gracious and attractive of Hutts, Popottus, greets you with open arms and wishes you welcome to his most modest home”
