"Don't know not close enough, sounded like that guy on Alluyen when he told Lin stop flirting with his woman and Lin drove that speeder into the bar... drunk. Kinda 'wet' I guess?" Akhrirar huffs.

OOC:
please let me know the difficulty of this. Im hoping to make the speeder catch up quicker. I would think inwould get a setback seeing we are on the move and this is a setback I can't remove because it is environmental.
OOC:
Checking CRB. I don't see an option to boost the system mechanically in the rules. For narrative purposes though, we'll just let it ride rather than requiring a skill check (as it's a relatively benign situation). In proper vehicle vs. vehicle combat I'd probably be a little pushier about following the rules here (with a lack of a speed boost option).

Fuzil monkeys with the speeder a bit -- giving it a brief jolt of speed. The rent-a-wreck doesn't seem to enjoy being pushed this hard and it starts to spark and complain. The additional speed and distracting sparks concern Mala somewhat seriously and reduces her confidence that this thing isn't going to just explode into a fireball of doom.
OOC:
If you keep up the speed another round, I'll take a system strain from the speeder. Mala suffers a setback die on her next piloting roll.
Mala coasts, somewhat on her success and pulls around the corner only gently tapping into Lin's hijacked bike as she stops. This causes the bike to shift a little and one of the flanges uncomfortably pokes Lin in the back as he's looking over the mark. Acaatha finds a way to say moderately encouraging things about Mala's driving in a show of solidarity.

Akhrirar is hoofing it up from the alleyway and is likely to arrive in a minute or so. The Stormtroopers are getting dangerously close.

Akhrirar keeps running onwards trying to catch up. It figures the guy with the shortest legs has to do all the running.

Hearing Mala Fuzil lets the flow increase and the engine roar loader... However seems that this model of speeder was modded already so the outcome was more then he was thinking. He turns back to Mala and gives her a big Groot grin and a thumbs up.

"I believe it's ready to go!" he says loudly over the engine noise.

Lin lifts up the hyperdrive engineer and with a little help from Acaatha pushes the mark into the speeder while she yanks on his limp arms to bring him across the edge. He lands in the bottom of the speeder with a bit of a "thunk" just as Akhrirar arrives. The groups of stormtroopers sense something is afoot. Stray blaster bolts start heading your way -- though the distance is clearly too great, even for the vaunted stormtrooper accuracy.

Taking this as a sign to get gone Akhrirar jumps, a little tiredly, into the speeder once more -- skeptical of a couple shorting panels nearby. Lin is poised to either hop back onto his commandeered speeder bike or into the group's speeder.

Mala revvs the engine and pulls her goggles down over her eyes

hold on, everybody! time to make the empire eat. Our. Dust.

Lin hops on his "borrowed" speeder. No way is he riding as a passenger on that other heap!

When the group gets in range of their hangar, Lin also triggers his remote starter (its in my gear I swear!) so the ship will be hot and ready to rock when we arrive.

Are we going to RP the return of the rented speeder? If not, I want to say that Lin tries to haggle the guy out of charging for the repairs needed by attempting to trade in the "borrowed" speeder bike.

OOC:
I think that depends on how hot and heavy you guys are in getting off the planet. It's fair to say that an odd motley crew of aliens and a human working together might stick out a little on Eriadu (which is where we are IIRC) especially with an APB out on them.

OOC:
Yeah, time to jump planet.

Seeing Lin leave first Akhrirar yells out "Delete my Browsing History!" before hunkering down with the mark in the back. He mutters if Mala kills him he's so not getting her a Birthday gift.
Apr 28, 2016 2:54 pm
Lin comes on the comms, "Why do you care if everyone sees those bobybuilding videos you watch all the time? All those really muscular sweaty men pumping iron and grimacing...oh, right. Gotcha. Will do bro!"
Apr 28, 2016 3:02 pm
"Dude half of those are women..." Akhrirar corrects him since the drek hasn't totally hit the fan yet.
Apr 28, 2016 3:12 pm
Argue later! I'm trying to concentrate!

A few more blaster bolts pass overhead -- which has the added benefit of clearing the roadway. Mala's inexpert driving is up to the task on the broad, empty thoroughfare and she gooses the speeder to get back to the docking bay. Lin is able to, almost casually, keep pace with the rent-a-wreck and is able to see the stormtroopers pass into the distance quickly.

At this rate -- and assuming there isn't anything more tragic about to land, you feel like you're about five minutes, maybe six, from your destination.

hey, look on the bright side, looks like we just acquired two land speeders and all we're out is the rental deposit!
