The Continued Misadventures of the Starwars Iconic Characters...

Jack Haggerty

First Post
The Cast of Characters.

Previously on the Misadventures of the Star Was Iconic Characters, our heroes had been taken captive aboard their the Mystic Burn a tramp frieghter on loan from their friend, Deel Surool. While the heroes were locked in the ship's cramped escape pod, the hijackers were pulledout of hyperspace and attacked by space pirates. In a daring escape, the heroes launched the escape pod, and crash landed in the midst of a jungle on an unknown planet. They fled through the jungle, hoping to evade recapture.

We now rejoin them as they happen upon a wide river cutting across the forest trial they had been following...

~~~

Rorworr and Kelko press on downhill through the jungle. Moving swiftly along the muddy trail through the foliage. The others following them have a little trouble keeping up and start to fall behind. As you move along the trail, one by one, the frightened denizens of the jungle find their voices again. A chorus of hoots, chirps, buzzes and howls fill the distant background.

After a half-hour's march, the Wookiee and his Rodian companion step into a clearing on the edge of wide, slow-flowing brown river. The trail leads down to the river's edge, and continues into the forest on the opposite shore. Shortly, the rest of the group catches up.

Above the rushing of the river, you can hear a faint droning hum from somewhere far beyond other side of the river.

Kelko & Arani, I apologize... I didn't get your last two posts copied in time. GAME ON!

ooc: Not a problem, chief.

"So how do we get across? Kel, Rory, any ideas?"

Jack, just how deep is this river?

It's hard to tell... The water's quite murky and muddy, so you can't see the bottom, especially from where you're standing.

Dorn Tavers

First Post
Dorn looks at the river for a moment, and then starts looking around to see if there are any long pieces of wood laying around in the jungle nearby.

"Let's see if we can get an idea of the depth of this river."

OOC: Jack, if Dorn can't find any loose wood he will look for something he might be able to break off of nearby trees. If he is successful in finding a suitable stick/branch.etc, Dorn will go to the edge of the river and see if he can touch the riverbed with it.

Dorn finds a long fallen branch near the side of the trail. Standing at the edge of the river he pokes into the silty water... As tiny tadpoles dart away just under the surface of the water, a dozen centimeters of the stick disappear before it encounters a slight resistance. The stick sinks another six centimeters before reaching a solid bottom. Pulling out the stick reveals the tip to be coated in a thin mud.

The distant humming seems to be drawing nearer.

"Humming getting closer. We should take cover!"

The rodain scrambles to find some sort of overgrowth to aquire what little concealment is available.
 

Sia-Lan Wezz

First Post
Sia-Lan glances around her briefly, looking for cover before turning back to the foliage and the protection, albeit limited, that it offers...

"C'mon, people... get down!"

As she ducks under the cover of the plant-life her eyes dance furtively looking for a better place for them to hide [search +4]

First Post
Arani looks up from the tadpoles.

"Guys?"

Seeing her companions scrambling for cover, she'll follow their lead by sprinting out of the clearing and back into the jungle.
 

Set Harth

First Post
Set Peeks out from between the bushes where he has already taken cover and scans the sky for the source of the humming. his hand is just itching for his lightsabre.

Set, Arani, Sia-Lan and Kelko rush back into the concealing leaves of the jungle. Meanwhile Dorn inspects his muddy stick near the river's edge, as Rorworr and Sen stand at the edge of the forest gaping at the river and the sky.

A pair of speedervans flying high and fast burst out over your heads from above the treeline on the opposite shore. One of them heads straight over you and back the way you came toward the crashed escape pod. The other makes a sharp turn and speeds off to your left, following the river toward a faint smudge of black smoke curling its way up over the tree tops farther down the shallow valley.
