Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

[deadestdai]

Aalun? Bud'd heard the name shouted by Master Kanas and took a moment to let it register. O! The Gand from Master Essenu's Padawans.... But why is he here? And where is Master Essenu? The Twi'lek's lekku curled with curiosity and she absentmindedly squeezed Wyrr's shoulder as she tried to work out the issue. (His was the support that Bud'd had found as she arived att he top of the ramp.)

 

[Vendetta]

The gand began to bow as the ramp lowered, wishing to greet the new arrivals with a proper and respectful greeting. But before Aalun could say anything, the gand heard his name... and in a voice he knew. "Master Kanas!" The gand thought to himself but didn't waste any time in obeying the order and immediately began running forward, up the ramp and into the ship.

Once inside the ship, the gand bows to everyone. "Aalun bids you his most humble greetings and is overwhelmed with joy at finding you well."

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Master Kanas nods, pulling all of you back off the boarding ramp as best he can, and hitting the switch to bring the ramp up. He then quickly turns back to the cockpit and calls to Bud'd, "Bud'd, he's in! Get us out of sight before something new goes wrong!"

He took a breath, and then motioned for all of them to have a seat in the small cabin. Not wasting a second, though, Master Kanas looks from his apprentices straight to Aalun, "Where is Marin?"

 

[Vendetta]

"Master, forgive Aalun for his cowardice but Aalun could not think of something better to do. Master Essenu chose to go to Korriban where Aalun's and Aalun's friends were attacked by Master Arach Tuorr who destroyed a Sith Holocron. Master Essenu and Urcala were taken by Tuorr, their minds overthrown by the presence of the dark side and Master Tuorr. The others have been lost. Aalun somehow was spared and fought against Tuorr but fled as Aalun was no match for him nor could Aalun bring his saber to bear against Aalun friend Urcala or Aalun's Mistress." The gand bows, remaining bowed until Master Kanas addresses him or assigns punishment.

*Wryy pats Budd's hand awkwardly, and looks at her curiously. Assuming her face shows only confusion, not concern, he'll simply help her back in to ship as the small creature scurries aboard, and then await more information.*

 

[deadestdai]

After seeing the Gand scamper aboard, Bud'd does as she is bidden and grateful of Wyrr's aid, flops down into the pilot's chair to bring the ship back up into the air and soaring toward their makeshift base camp. Cai!? She shouts. Can you come back up here and help me again with the sensors?! I don't want any surprises springing out at us - the Lost have had ample time to form a search party. On impulse she also thought to call to Aerek to jump back into the gunner's chair so that he could do a visual scan as extra insurance against any nasty surprises.

 

[drothgery]

Since this really wasn't the best time to have a long discussion, Aerek returned to his gunner's chair.

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 5)

Having just had her own “private” conversation interrupted by nearly everyone on the ship Skyka returned to Cai!’s room, where she could be left to her own thoughts…

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Cai returns to the seat next to Bud'd with a smile as the ship is brought up again. From the look of things, though, there's still nothing after them. Not yet, at least.

In the cabin, Master Kanas looks to Aalun with a serious expression on his face. For a long time, he seems to be just as unreadable as the Gand(to a Human, at least), before nodding very slowly and speaking in a low, almost tired voice, "You have done the right thing, Aalun, and I am glad you are safe. It was not cowardly to retreat. And I believe we could all use your help in cleansing this planet...there is much we must all talk about once we return to our camp."

The small ship traveled across the forest of Rollan unhindered and, thankfully, not followed according to the sensor readings. However, when you arrive at the old village and the crash site, you find there is no room to set the ship down without coming down on one of the old huts. This is because of a new ship, of the same design as Master Kanas' Ossus Talon that is set down in the center of the ruined village and taking up nearly all of the space.

 

[Vendetta]

"Aalun is sorry. The ship is Master Essenu's ship that Aalun used to get here. Aalun did not know that this place was a landing pad for you." The gand says quickly and appologetically.
