2.0 - Lure of the Lost

Heyop lets out a shrill whistle and motions in a circle with his index finger holstering his carbine on his back. "Round it up, we're out in two! Check em for a blaster and ammo, that's a very noticeable weapon."

If Heyop is close enough he'll look over the closest troopers for anything useful, if not since he's wounded he'll start moving away so they can lay low for a bit. If the stranger doesn't anything sketchy he'll draw on him since he's unsure what he was trying to do and why.

Joka returns his Snap Baton to his belt in such a way as to make the lightsaber already fixed there evident to Csillag.

"Greetings, Jedi." The Sluissi bends at the waist in an approximation of a bow. His serpentine half limiting his ability to be as graceful with the motion as would have like.

"I appear to have been too late or slow acting to have been much help. It appears you didn't need it, however." He smiles at her. "I'm Joka Xho."

Marc gets into his speeder and takes off, laying out a route for the coordinates in the mountains to meet up with Hethan Romund.

Guys, something just came up, family matter. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Still having trouble posting as my character instead of my avatar. I'll try to get it figured out when I get back.

"Jedi?" Csillag says with a slight chuckle.

She retracts the cyan blade on her lightsaber and hooks it on her belt under her robes. "You obviously didn't see me in action!" she says returning the Joka's bow with a slight one of her own.

"Nice to meet you, Joka. I am Csillag Járóka and I think we're getting the hell out of here!!" she smiles back at the Sluissi and starts to look over the troopers for a useable weapon to replace her obliterated holdout blaster.

OOC:

If she can she'll grab a weapon from one of the fallen troopers. Preferably a pistol of some sort.

Picking up on the cue that now is not the time for chit chat or questions, Joka quickly sets about trying to salvage anything of possible use from the downed troopers. He prioritized weapons and consumables, especially medical supplies, while he ramages from soldier to soldier.

Stormtroopers are armed with Blaster Rifles only. Want one, Csillag?

"We are in a hurry, but I'm not facing more troopers without some sort of weapon" Csillag says as she slowly works a blaster rifle from one of the dead troopers.

"Suppose this will have to do..."

She slings the weapon over her shoulder and trots over to Mal.

In a short time, the five of you (as Dagger has managed to re-appear) find your way to the speeders you'd parked nearby. They still appear in working order -- though there's not enough for each of you -- someone will have to double up with the new guy if you're to take him along...

Marc heads out of town towards Mount Tellec -- where he's certain Hethan Romund's signal came from. It's a few hours away from the city by speeder. Making his way across the foothills, he sees a large swath of trees has been clearcut from something -- but only the top halves... and there's a smoking crater nearby.

Marc is going to pause and enter the coordinates into his datapad as a weird occurrence, he plans to mention it to Hethan Romund when he finds her. He tries to sense if anyone is in trouble in the area through the Force. If someone is in pain, he will investigate, otherwise, he will take a wide detour around the area and continue toward Hethan Romund's coordinates. Marc is not looking for a fight.

"Right lets head out of town the long way and see if there's pursuit. Also we can talk to Csillag's friend more while we figure out where we're going from there depending on what we find out and if we're followed." Heyop suggests. "Maybe you can look at this too when we have time." Heyop states turning around to show the wound on his back unsure how bad it is. Heyop hopes on a speeder and exhaling feeling too old for this suddenly.

Marc senses nothing and thus makes a wide berth and continues along his way. He finds himself winding his way up into the mountains. He reaches a secluded valley in the shadow of Mount Tellec where a large lake is fed by a river and a handful of smaller streams. Pausing on a large bridge over the river, Marc is afforded a peaceful view of the valley. In the middle of the lake sits a small island with. From here, Marc can see the mountain across the valley -- and across the lake itself he sees what looks like a small village.

The remainder of you find yourselves upon the speeder bikes -- with Csillag doubled up with Heyop to look at his wound and leaving Joka on his own with one of the bikes. You head out of town towards the general vicinity of Mount Tellec and the Dawn Temple, but -- based on Heyop's caution you do not make your destination obvious -- cautious of both pursuit and a new person in your midst. In time, you come to the same place Marc has visited. It appears a large swath of trees have had their tops sheered off by... something. The trauma to the landscape looks a bit like a poorly piloted ship or something. A bunch of smoke not far off seems to suggest the ship didn't make it.

Pausing here -- you must decide if you will take Joka to the Dawn Temple...

Mal looks over at the landscape

amateur pilot.

anyway, do we trust this guy just because he has a lightsaber?

Heyop

"Huh... we should check to see if there's anyone alive at that plume before people come into the area by air... if there isn't and it looks salvageable lets smolder the fire and move away a bit to rest." Heyop offers. Wanting to stretch his face contorts a bit and he opts not to since he's back feels like it's asleep in places. "Joka was it? Tell us a bit about yourself... ever cut off a man's hand to make a point? You also spoke of Jedi? Isn't that those 'crazy people' the Imperials are on the look out for that can offer up a decent bounty?" continues his topic getting rather dark rather quickly due to a jaded past few months.

"Dagger has a lightsaber... granted Dagger can use it too. Maybe not for the best of things..." he adds after Mal's comment.

OOC:

I'd love some healing and you two probably want some Discipline or Cool Easy checks to recover strain if Falryx is cool with it first.

"I'm happy to tell you anything you'd like to know. I'm a tinkerer and gadgeteer. If my destiny were slightly different, I'd be a mechanic and happily play with building, tweeting, and repairing engines and weapons. But the force is with me, as, indeed, I sense, it is with you." He pauses briefly to gauge reactions unsure, himself, whether to trust people simply because they have Sabres.

In the end, he realizes he has no choice. The force has guided him here and he will continue to trust in it and, therefore, in these beings. "I'm no Jedi, but it is in me, I believe, and it is my ambition. When I saw you under duress I was honour bound to help."

With a hesitantbut poignant look toward Heyop he adds without a trace of humour, "I've never cut off anyone's anything "to make a point". I am aware of the bounties on Jedi and if I ever collect one or even contemplate it I will have fallen far enough for you to be able to know it without me having to say so."

OOC:

Y'all are likely light on Stims -- but Csillag may be able to help you out... with the force thing she can do. Agreed on recovery rolls if people would like. I don't /intend/ for additional combat before you're sufficiently rested -- but you never know. :)
