Knights of the Old Republic - IC

[Karl Green]

O’jon looks at the assembled Jedi (and ignoring ARRO) and bows saying “Of course, I understand completely.”

Straighting he adds ‘”At least allow us to put you up in a private suit here. Or if you prefer mayhap one of the many luxury apartments around the city own by our own harmonious and tranquil lord, Popottus the Hutt owns around this grand city. What say you to that?”

“Alas if you still would prefer the dirty landing-port, the pilot whom brought us all here is return you to it in a prompt and gentle fashion”

OCC –if the group wants you can leave now and the pilot will take you back to the landing-port where the Star Jewel is parked or can take up one of O’jons offers)

“Allow us one moment to confer, good O’jon,” Elan Xandar Renn said. “We still have much to do and must decide how best to proceed.”

After the Falleen majordomo led them out of the Hutt’s audience chamber, Elan spoke privately to his fellow padawans.

“There is an opportunity here,” he said, studying each of his companions in turn. “By accepting the Hutt’s hospitality we have the chance to investigate his stronghold and seek to learn more of this Darksider who seems to have influenced Popottus’ mind.”

“However, I feel our primary task is to negotiate a cessation to the hostilities, and we have yet to find the Pure and to listen to their grievances. I feel our first priority now should be to visit this Summer Lake in the mountains.”

“We can accept the offer to stay in the Hutt’s palace after our return, and then we may investigate this Darksider further. If we stay here now, it will delay our encounter with the Hiss’agoth and more lives may be lost.”

”Besides,” he added. “Any rooms provided by Popottus are sure to be bugged, and our every move followed.”

“I would hear your thoughts on this, my friends.”

"Also, I sense some, well, I'd rather not discuss it here," Talesa said quietly, indicating the Hutt and his minions. "I agree that we need to follow up on what we've learned here, but we should deal with the Pure first, and I most certainly would not feel comfortable spending a night under this roof."

 

[ValenarJaeldira]

"I believe it would likely be in our best interest to allow one of his guides to take us to the Pure. We are equally likely to go into a trap with him or without him, and if the Hutt is in earnest about his deire to aid us, he could be a great boon. Also, upsetting a Hutt while staying under his own roof is generally frowned upon...accusing him of being influenced by our known enemies will likely upset him. I know you feel there is a dark Jedi at work here, but what evidence do we have Popputus is involved?"

 

[drothgery]

"We'll explain later. But we should leave now, and without the Hutt's Wookie." Serrana said.

And it's a good thing I don't have an explosive charge with me, or I'd be very tempted to leave it behind.

 

[Maeglin]

“No proof your sensors can measure, Arro,” Elan smiled at the droid. “No evidence your circuits can process.”

“We only know for certain that the Hutt has been influenced, but we know not the extent of his complicity, if any. In this you are correct.”

”Still, I sense violence and death around this wookiee. We would be better off without him.”

“Shall we follow Serrana’s advice and leave this place?”

 

[Maeglin]

"Nicolas," Elan whispered to the young Jedi beside him. "You who are our center, closest to the will of the Force. Your counsel is much valued, and your wisdom is sorely needed."

"What do you feel we should do?"

 

[Shalimar]

"We are not a committee, and acting like one in front of the Hutt and his gang is crippling our standing and ability to bargain with them. Enough talking. A guide will be useful, and the wookie is highly placed enough in the organiation to be able to provide us whatever information that we need. Its better to have him with us and able to provide answer then following us and reporting back regardless." the noble woman said softly so that it wouldn't travel very far.

“With all due respect, Jade Shesh,” Elan Xandar replied, equally softly, as he had spoken all along. “But we are a delegation. None of us was placed in command of this mission, but all were tasked with working together towards achieving a common goal.”

”Do you value our opinion so little that you do not care to hear it? Are we not Jedi? Do we not speak and act as one? The Force surrounds us all, penetrates us and binds us all together.”

“We must find a way to cooperate, if we are to succeed.”

Elan spoke earnestly and honestly, without malice or reproach. Peace suffused his inner being and he willed it to encompass all around him.

"There is darkness here, and I do not trust anyone associated with it. Better the Wookie follow us, than we take him into our midst," Talesa whispered.
