Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

[shadowbloodmoon]

[sblock=for Bol]Your Knowledge of the underside of the galaxy tells you that Bob Fortuna is the well known brother of... oh wait. Ahem. Bib Fortuna is the well-known major domo of one Jabba the Hutt. Fortuna takes care of many of the Hutts business practices, including that of slavery. Which, as you well know, is not illegal here on Tatooine.[/sblock]

 

[maddmic]

Shadow:
[sblock]Ok, sounds good. Is it a safe assumption then that the slaves may not be Fortunas, but are most likely Jabas? Also, how much would Bol know about Jaba?[/sblock]

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

[sblock=Bol]You know that Jabba the Hutt has been the premiere crimelord on Tatooine for quite some time, at least the last 40 cycles or so. It is most likely possible that the slaves are indeed Jabba's, but there is a chance that Fortuna could be doing business on the side as well. [/sblock]

As you are discussing your plans, all of you hear the high pitched whine of repulsor engines nearby. The shuttle that Bol spotted earlier has landed. Kesler and Bol know that the space port they would land at is still a few minutes from where you are now, but, as Nuina says, "Umm... I don't want to interrupt, but it sounds like more of those soldiers are coming."

OOC: The dancers did listen to when I asked them to change into some more normal clothes right? I figure it's going to be alot harder to avoid attention if some of us are wearing nothing but brightly colored ribbons. Not that there is really any one style of clothing that is considered normal in star wars, but those strap things are specifically for dancers.

Kesler nods to Nuina and then looks at Tal. "Well, it looks lke I won't have time to properly treat your wounds until we've escaped, I'm sorry about that. Uh, but we had better escape soon." He goes to a window and peeks out onto the the street. "So where should we go?"

 

[Bobitron]

The soldier nods grimly and stands. "I've dealt with worse. Let's get outta here and then we can talk."

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Yes, in the process of talking, they've changed into 'normal' clothes.

Looking out of the window indicates a squad of troopers coming up the main avenue. Another squad isn't far behind. It appears that for the time being, they are more interested in the cantina.

Bol curses as he realizes what's going on with the girls. The whine of the engines pulls him back to what is currently going on. Looking at the others he glances at the doctor with a not so plesant look. "Tell me there's a back door to this place? You have no idea who is probably going to be involved in this buisness now that you've "freed" those girls."

He then looks back to the Tal. "It's a shame that your friend isn't a Jedi. Perhaps he could distract those troops out there more than they are already. We really need to get out of here. It's only a matter of time before they threaten, or talk to sombebody who saw us come in here." He pauses for a minute. "They're definately going to be looking for a Bothan, Human, and Cerean. No doubt that the doc and the girls could probably escape this place on their own. I might be able to disguise myself and get out of here, while looking for a way to smuggle you two out. They've got to know though that the Human was badly in jured in the fight. A shame doc can't patch you up quick enough to rid us of that dead give away. Which docking station does this friend of yours have his ship at? I'll need to know if I'm going to try to figure out a way there."


OOC:
Bol will do a quick disguise check (Disguise +2 (+2 Cha)) to try to at least give himself a fighting chance of not being recognized. Also, like to do a streetwise check (Knowledge- Streetwise* +3 (1 rank, +2 Int)) To figure out if he knows some less travelled route to the space port.

 

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Is there a back door? Are there officers with the troopers like the guy in the cantina?

With a weary sigh, Femi quietly moves to Tal's side. "Be still a moment," he whispers. He lays his hand on the worst of Tal's wounds, closes his eyes and calls on the force to mend it. He doesn't go out of his way to hide it but he does attempt to use his body to block the line of sight of the others present. That done, he moves to the window. Looking out, he spots the approaching troopers. Quickly, he creates an illusion of two people who look somewhat like himself and Tal, weapons in hand. He creates it in sight of the troopers and has the illusions then run off in the opposite direction, hoping to lead the troopers away.

OOC: Heal Another +8 on Tal. Illusion +5 to create an armed human and cerean running off in the opposite direction.

Kesler who is also looking out the window sees the strange sight and then turns to stare speechlessly at his new Cerean aquaintance.
