The Star Wars Iconic Characters: Out of the Jungle.

[Rorworr]

Rorworr scowls at Valara.

"If you can do better, find the way yourself!" he snaps. He starts looking around for any clue as to the right direction to head (Survival +2), grumbling at the trees as he does so.

 

[Jack Haggerty]

Floating over the Wookiee's shoulder, Emtee politely translates, "Master Rorworr would be most appreciative of any assistance you provide in finding the proper path, Mistress Saar."

They each scan the forest. There are no obvious animal paths, even the trail they left getting there is difficult to see beneath the foliage and detrius. All they can see about them are the immensely tall trunks of trees.

Back at the van... Arani steps out of the van. Off to her left, she suddenly hears a faint twitter, but when she turns, she only sees a rustle of leaves.

 

[Valara Saar]

"Maybe someone should try climbing one of the trees. Is anyone good at climbing? I bet Rorworr is with his claws, and strength is aren't you? Will you do it?"

 

[Arani Korden]

Back at the van... Arani steps out of the van. Off to her left, she suddenly hears a faint twitter, but when she turns, she only sees a rustle of leaves.

A faint twitter? Either that's the bird people again, or we're surrounded by very silly pirates. Or maybe I should check under the van for ruby slippers.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are."

Arani sits down.

"Or stay there. It's really up to you. It's your planet, after all."

She stands up again.

"Look, I'm coming over, okay? I just want to talk to you. You can run away if you want."

Arani will approach the spot where she saw the rustle of leaves.

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr scowls at Emtee this time, then heads over to one of the trees. He unsheathes his claws and starts to climb the tree (Climb +8, taking 10).

 

[Jack Haggerty]

Rorworr picks what appears to the tallest tree nearby, and deftly climbs its towering trunk. Up amognst the branches and leaves, he settles into a spot commanding an impressive view of the entire valley. To his right winds the river at the bottom of the valley. Behind him, he can still make out a faint trace of smoke from the crashsite of the Mystic Burn. Somewhere between him and the wreck, the repulsorvan presumably waits hidden in the trees with Arani, Sen and Kelko. Along his left, the valley rises up to a ridge of hills. Directly opposite the river, from he is perched, Rorworr spots the rocky shelf where the pirates have made their base. It sits about halfway up the side of the valley, perhaps a kilometer away from his present position.

Meanwhile, back at the van...

Arani steps ahead, despite Sen's warnings to be wary, and brushes aside a branch bedecked with leaves the size of her head. Peering past, she catches another quick movement, and turns just in time to catch glimpse of bright blue and yellow feathers disappearing behind a tree trunk. She hears a musical cooing just ahead calling into the forest, which is promptly answered by a long warble from higher up in the trees.

 

[Valara Saar]

"Can you see anything up there Rorworr?" Valara asks pacing about to bleed off her always abundant energy. "If you do, maybe you can get your droid to remember the direction so we wont get lost again, just in case."

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

back at the van

"Ah Arani who are you speaking with?" Sen asks, then thinking about what he heard and the presence he detected yesterday he will stretch out with the Force and try to discover who these allusive visitors are...

Sen will use Enhance Senses again Enhance Senses +8; also I was reading the new rules and I guess I can't use See Force to detect non-force users anymore

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr quickly scrambles back down the tree. "The Mystic Burn is back over in that direction," he points back towards the ship. "while the pirate camp is over there. I wouldn't rely on Emtee being able to remember the way though. His sense of direction is nearly as bad as mine."

He grins at Valara and starts to head in the direction of the pirate camp.

 

[Valara Saar]

"After you furball" she mutters at him, following behind but taking time to be sure of the path this time.
