Serrana said:
Given what she senses, Serrana, concentrates her senses, trying to discover what is hidden here (take 10 on Force Perception = 22 to Notice Targets and Sense Influence).

"The Pure would a minor nuisance without modern weapons, true? It seems to me that the wise and powerful Hutt might know something of how to uncover that trail." Serrana said.
Elan said:
OOC: [sblock]Elan wants to observe the Hutt's reaction, and that of the Twi'lek females, to Serrana's question. And, of course, to ascertain the veracity of their response. I hope the Perception roll is still valid. Otherwise, Elan's perception skill is +10, or let me know and I will reroll

A slight chuckle rumbles from Popottus belly and he looks at Serrana says to her “
Ho, Ho, Ho, raba’wa toe a wawa woktee… toe ra’waba ya coto rewa, dou?”
OCC –for those whom speak Huttese [sblock]”Ha, they are thieves as well as vermin then… but if you destroy them I am sure the trail will lead to who ever is responsible, no?”[/sblock]
O’jon smiles and says to Serrana, “
The perceptive and savvy Popottus the Hutt is sure that the Pure must be thieves along with terrorists and that it is logical to assume that if you are able to destroy them you will find evidence of those whom are supplying them advanced weapons.”
Spoiler for Serrana [sblock]Serrana also see two strange cages behind Popottus’s throne, and gets a dark oily feeling from whatever is keep within them[/sblock]
Spoiler for Elan [sblock]The two Twi’lek girls are staring mostly at Serrana with open hostility. They are mostly ignoring the rest of you, but Elan can tell that they are agitated and ready too spring into action at a moments notice.
Popottus seems to be hiding something BUT it also appears that at least he believes what he is saying about the Pure, and their location[/sblock]
Jade said:
"I dance for no male of any species, Popottus, they dance for me." Jade says haughtily in Huttese, and even her bearing is a tad more haughty then it normally is, displaying poise and radiating relaxedness, as if she were deigning to see the Hutt instead of the other way around.
"Do not believe us to be weak Popottus, for that would be a mistake. A mistake that not many have leave to correct." she warns the hutt.
"We do not seek to impede your enterprise here, only to re-establish the jump beacon and peace of this world. To do that, we are looking for your previous visitor. The one with the red bladed saber. I can see that she turned the force upon you, and that the darkness of the act has tainted the very stones of this place."
"Please give us the information that we seek and we will leave you to your vices." She tells the slug.
Persuasion: 19+16=35
Popottus looks down at Jade with a leering smile, but when she mentions his ‘visitor’ he seems a bit confused, and shakes his head. After a moment he smiles again and licks his lips with his enormous tongue and says “
Bo’wanta dobe ro? To’waka est o’bawa.... Go’wana esto. De rawana do esta bawaka me. Awaga mo… dawaga maja esto Poure awaka gawana Sawwa Sake. Ga’wana bata mo, est a’jawana maja bawaka wa ba. Ya’wata esto waga mo’waja, rawaga e’waja Poure, bawaja ta’laka da’wana?”
OCC –for those whom speak Huttese [sblock]”You have great fire in you, yes? I would enjoy breaking you of that. Mayhaps at some later time… for now we all want the same thing. To keep commerce flowing, and gamblers spending. My… associates tell me that the Pure are located within the Summer Lake community. It is in all our interests that they are destroyed, and so I will lend you some of my guards in case they are too much for you. As for others like you with their light-sticks, well I would guess they might well be with the Pure also, for who else would teach them these things?[/sblock]
O’jon now looks to Jade and even though it is obvious that she speaks Huttese, he still translates the following “
The admiring and knowledgeable Popottus the Hutt has nothing but the deepest respect for all Jedi, and wishes only to restore order to this planet by pointing out the location of the Pure, learned at great expense by our attentive master. Again the aesthetic and ingenious Popottus the Hutt wishes to help in any way and will send a group of his finest personal guard to assist you in stopping these terrorist.”
Pausing a second he says “
As for any other Jedi, you are the first that have come to this planet that we know of, but if there are those whom have ‘fallen’ to this ‘dark-side’ as you call it… as happened I believed 40 years ago with some of your best and brightest where they not? Well if there are any fallen Jedi on the planet it is only logical to assume that they are behind these attacks and that they to would be found at Summer’s Lake in the Yellow Snake Mountains.”
Spoiler for Elan [sblock]Again as far as Elan can tell, Popottus is not lying per say, although he is leaving parts out of something. Elan also again gets that feeling that Popottus has been mind-influences but he is unsure how. As for O’jon, he is not translating Popottus’s words straight over as usual, but he does not appear to be outright lying about anything 'important' (like say who the smugglers are).[/sblock]
