Yes, there is a back door. There is always a back door. It's Star Wars!
There are no uniformed officers present with these troops. One thing, unless Femi wanted to affect you guys too, none of you would see the Illusion, as it's created in the mind of the targets...No worries though, I'll adjust the narrative to explain.
[sblock=Bol]There are a few out of the way alleyways here in Mos Eisley that could lead you into a location near the starport. They aren't very heavily travelled and more than a few of them offer places to hide if you are discovered. [/sblock]
The Cerean places his palms over the scorch marks that indicate where Tal was hit heaviest by the Imperial blasters. In a few moments, the broken skin mends itself and the pain slowly subsides. While it still aches, Tal's side feels more like a muscle strain than as if he had been shot.
As Bol finishes his disguise to look more like a respectable Bothan noble and less like Bothan street scoundrel, he looks up just in time to see Kesler staring out of the window at something.
As the two of them look on, they watch the Cerean do something with his hands and see one of the troopers point one of his fingers at some empty spot in the roadway and immediately one of the squads goes running in that direction. Both of you swear you see something in the corner of your vision, but when you look, there is nothing. Nothing but a squad of troopers running into an alleyway. The other squad enters the cantina, except for two troopers posted outside the entrance.

"Did you see that?" Kesler mutters, in response to the troopers strange behavior. "I think now would be a good time to leave." he says, indicating the direction of the back door, "But where do we go?"

"Let's get near the starport, try to find Haebes," Femi says, already heading towards the back door. "Let's stick to the alleys out of sight. Once we make it to the place where Haebes was docked, someone may need to sneak in and see if he's been...bothered by the Imperials."
Femi cautiously opens the back door and peeks out, looking both ways. If the coast is clear, he'll step out and start heading towards the docking bay using the less traveled route.

Bol nods to the Cerean, but seems to not have noticed anything that has transpired that might be seen as Jedi-like. "Sure, once we get there, I can sneak in and scout things out a bit. But you are going to tell me which station he's parked in right? Also, might not be the best idea for all of us to be together. Perhaps if one of the ladies would walk to the port on each of the guys arms? I'll take my chances alone, I know some different routes down to that area."
He waits only to hear which station Haebes is located in and then sneaks out the back. Bol will try some of the more obscure routes to the starport, being careful to look inconspicuous.

The boys don't exactly know which docking bay Haebes' ship is in. They do know what it looks like though....
Femi looks out the back door and sees that for now the coast is clear. Bol shoulders past him with a shrug and disappears down one of the alleyways. This doesn't startle the Cerean, but when one of the slave women takes Bol's advice and wraps her arm in with Femi's, that does send a shiver down his spine.
I'm going to presume that the rest of you follow Femi, but if not let me know so I can adjust as necessary...

OOC: So then each of the four slaves went with one of the four of us? Or so far, has Bol left alone and only one of them has decided to follow his plan by latching 
onto Femi? Well in any case Kesler is willing to follow.
Kesler is somewhat reluctant to trust the others to protect the girls, but he can't think of a better plan, and it seems they are willing to try it themselves. "Be careful."

Bol goes it alone. Kesler gets to have two girls on his arms, one of them Nuina.
The entourage disappears into the hidden back alleys of the city as they attempt to find their way to a path that will take them to the starport without encountering any more Imperial troops. Since, for the time being, the troops are occupied with the trouble at the cantina, the group manages to find a circuitous route that takes them around the are just enough to remain out of sight from them. In order to get into the starport, you will have to move into view, but the throng of people will serve to shield you from prying eyes.
Femi and Tal recognize the unmistakeable shape of Captain Haebes ship and as you begin heading in that direction, you spot the Wookiee making his way towards it. Just beyond him, you see Bol following the giant furball from a small alcove. There is no sign of Haebes himself however.

Despite the point of Bol's idea being to make them appear non-chalant, Kesler can't help feeling a bit nervous. He grasps the arms of Nuina and the other woman and pulls them closer as he tries to make certain that he can drag them to cover at a moment's notice.
They eventually enter the star port and he follows Tal and Femi until they stop in front of a certain hanger. He catches up with them and takes a look at the ship within. "Is this the ship?" he asks, quietly. His question seems to be answered by the appearance of the wookie from before.

Hey shadowbloodmon, you remember how you compared me to Ambrus once when I first started playing? I've noticed that our posting styles seem quite different. At least, his posts seem to be constantly full of explanations for the complex actions he wishes X to accomplish, and take dozens of lines while mine seem to be mostly fluff and flavor as Kesler responds emotionally to the events and are allot shorter. I guess this could just be that X is a droid, and that he/it's also the only PC in his/its immediate vicinity though.
It's occurred to me that Kesler could very likely be underestimating Nuina's ability to avoid being killed, after all she made it from Naboo to Tatooine alone. There also hasn't yet been an opportunity for him to question her in detail about all the inconsistencies in her story, it's clear she has allot she hasn't yet told Kesler and I'd certainly like to hear it, as would he once he's not so worried about people shooting at them.[/sblock]
