Serrana Vao, Twi'lek Soundrel 5/Jedi 1 48/48 HP (no conditions)

"I didn't sense anything." The Twi'lek said. "But I was paying more attention to spear-chucking natives than disturbances in the Force."

At Jade's words, though, she looks around with both her Force and mundane senses...

use the force (sense); force perception; perception (1d20+12=27, 1d20+12=25, 1d20+2=8)

Serrana gets only faint flicker or ripple in the Force - something cold and very angry - but it seems to be fading very fast as if were just a wisp or stray thought...

"The prisoner says that he shall never see the red-sands valley again, and that we have defeated him. He also comments that we may do what we wish with him now that we have taken him captive."

As he speaks, R0-T4 resets all of his weapons to stun and single shot modes, and puts away his sporting rifle, his gun arm folding in on itself.

"I didn't sense anything either. But disappointed, you say, that's odd," Talesa said to Jade, her face impassive. "I can't imagine that she expected these attackers to overcome a group of several Jedi. Maybe she was expecting something to happen?"

[sblock=ARRO]Note that ARRO can remember all that they said before by the Hiss'agoth... just in case there is a clue in there [/sblock]

"Disappointed being the polite form of torqued off." Jade says with a shrug. "Though with that much anger that could just be her normal emotion. Either way, she could probably do with a cuddly little stuffed bantha."

"Arro, tell him we aren't going to hurt him or the other injured, that we are just mediators that were sent here to try and find an...amicable solution for both sides." pausing, she continues on after thinking for a moment. "Ask him if he has seen any others with light sabers, a red one. I want to try to find out if that Sith is controlling the pure directly or not. Also ask him there are any Hiss'agoth rituals that need to be observed for the dead."

"We also need to start cleaning this place up. Treat the injured, and call in a Republic transport to take these fellows into custody."

The crowd that had gathered on the edge of the landing area starts to break up and move on to their various businesses. No one seems overly concerned about the number of bodies laying about, nor does there seem to be any security or police force response to the situtaion...

ARRO speaks to the suspended terrorist for a few minutes, and then turning to Padawan Jade he reports “He says that yes, he has heard tales of witches from the dark between the stars whom have come to their world with their fire-daggers and done great harm to the land and its people. He assumes that you are also these Shadow Lords of legend come to destroy the people here for some dark reason. He has not seen any of these so called witches himself, but they are a cursed group that he very much believes in. They have followers among his people, whom they call the Night Warlocks and that he has battle them before. They are assassins and witches whom haunt the night and use witchcraft to kill and to corrupt the people.”

Continuing, the droid says “He also keeps muttering about the Pure, but when I asked, he seems a bit confused at to whom they are or where they are located. He simply repeats, ‘We are the Pure, you will die’, whenever I ask him about it.”

“As for rituals over the dead, he says that they must be burned so their souls can find their way into the sky to find peace. He asks us to burn him and the others quickly, and not to corrupt their souls and turn them into Warlocks.”

"Okay, let me know if any of you disagree with some guesses of mine." The young Twi'lek Jedi says. "First off, the darksider or darksiders we've sensed are really behind the His'agoth terrorists. They've recruited, trained, and supplied at least one group. Second, the darksiders are tied to the Hutt we just paid a visit to and to at least the local branch of Czerka. Third, the Pure are the native opposition to them. Fourth, someone -- probably that 'friendly' fellow Trill Renfinn from the Republic administration -- fed us -- and Master Sunrider, which worries me more -- a bit of misinformation. Fifth, although the darksider or darksiders are probably Sith and maybe their local dupes, that's just a guess based on recent history, and these could be something else entirely."

"I agree with your assesment." Jade says to the twi'lek girl. "Arro, please translate for me. 'We aren't the Shadow Lords from beyond the stars. We are the people that hunt Shadow Lords and protect all the people from the dark magic. We are here to stop the witches and the Dark Lords. We need you to tell us where we can find the night warlocks.'"

"'We will of course respect your customs and burn your dead on a pyre, and let you say words for them if you wish. But we aren't going to hurt you or the others. We do not kill or injure without cause. Death is a dimishment, and to be avoided. Instead we would ask you to lead us to the Night Warlocks so that we can put a stop to them.'"
