Chapter 3: Red dwarf and purple planet

Dotty smiles and shakes her head, "Alright then, you keep your secrets." She sticks a hand out for him to shake or do the forearm clasp or whatever these guys do, "I’ll talk to your boss and relay his request to mine."

"Does ChiHiRu go uproot the two pirates now?"

A bit reluctantly the guard reaches out his arm and shakes Dotty's hand I hope we'll get to an agreement.

Distraction Group:
Just as the pirate touches Dotty's hand he begins to freeze. His eyes go wide, he becomes as stiff as a board and begins to fall over.
The other pirate is currently occupied by Scott's continuous distraction. But maybe the sound of his buddy falling over will make him turn his head?

Dotty can try to make him slide gently to the ground as opposed to just dropping like a bag of rice. I this case please roll a Strength/Lift check

Assault Group:
Anu and Adonis nod at ChiHiRu.
Adonis says with a coarse voice: If we all run down there at once, Anu and I can take on one each and you help us with both of them. If... Adonis grabs one of ChiHiRu's tentacles ..those are all usably and strong.

ChiHiRu raise slowly the tentacle Adonis grabbed with enough strength to lift him off the floor if he try to hang on.

"ChiHiRu strong. ChiHiRu lead, you help him."

The alien takes position at the door. He waits until the others are ready. He then rush out quickly, using his tentacle to grab both pirates by the neck and lifting them off the ground.

To the 6 captives, Thank you for the information, we don't plan on leaving anyone behind.

Making eye contact with the rest of the captives, Jeff continues But that starts with you folks, ChiHiru and the others will have the two guards down in a second. After that, you head back through the trees towards camp. The rest of us can focus on the rescue better if we know your already safely on the way.

Distraction Group:
Dotty is able to let the pirate slide gently to the ground, even though he is considerably heavier than her. A name tag on the chest that she just now notices identifies the pirate as a certain 'Neville'

Jerry who was very quite during the whole search turns towards Dotty and his eyes go wide as he sees how she incapacitates the bandit.
He nods his head towards Scott, hoing to gain his attention without alerting the other pirate

The other pirate is about to round up his search. Everything's right here. So we can... wait what's that?. He holds up a device with many wires sticking out of it. This seems to be the BRRZZZZ, that Jerry and Anu built beforehand. Turns out Jerry just packed it into one of the crates
Scott can make a perception check. On a 10 or higher he notices Jerry and the incapacitated pirate.

Assault Group:
The man with the greasy hair eagerly nods at Jeff. Yes, yes we will do that. I hope our guys are alright.
He turns around to his colleagues Alright, let's sneak out of here. Our friends here will look for the others.
They all duck down, crawl to the hill from which you came and disappear in the undergrowth

Meanwhile Adonis, Anu and ChiHiRu rush down the hill and before any of the two pirates can react they have a tentacle around their throat. Adonis and Anu each try to help but in fact ChiHiRu has the situation under control all by himself. Within a minute both pass out and drop to the ground.
Excellent Adonis mutters. Just one more left to go. I hope the others are fairing equally well

Scott looks at the device "Ye know.. maybe freezing pump broke and they installed it instead into the crate to keep the food fresh?"

ChiHiRu disarms the two pirates and carry them into the improvised holding cell. He gives the weapon to the others, or put them in his pack if they don't need them.

After that, he start moving toward the other sentry taking an out of sight path as much as possible.

Dotty disarms the fallen man grabbing his rifle and sidearm if he has one and quickly walks back to the man searching the bins.

"Whatcha lookin' at doll face?" She sidles up right next to him, at a distance that he can't possibly use his rifle and pushing her arm against his as she looks into the bin. "Oh that don't look like food, did you guys have some tech that needs fixing?"

Distraction Group:
From the corner of his eye Scott can notice how the bandit falls down after being touched by Dotty. Jerry seem to have noticed too because he turns to the pirate and says Hey you wanna hear a joke. A verdendrian, a human and...

Just as the pirate want to tell him to shut up, Dotty comes from behind and grabs his arm. Just as poor Neville before the pirate freezes. He falls over and Jerry uses the momentum of the falling criminal to push him into the crate he was just inspecting.
Better put the other one in there too Jerry says and hurries to Neville's body in order to pull him up onto the loading bed of the car

Assault Group:
ChiHiRu tries to sneak towards the pirate but a large ball of floral mass is hard to overlook. The pirate spots ChiHiRu and begins to shout INTRUUUUDER!
He quickly slides down one of the ladders that reach up to the temple, runs at ChiHiRu, holds a baton in front of him and shouts What do you do here!? You should've never come here! The boss is gonna rip you to shreds!

Not bothering to respond, ChiHiRu move in on the pirate and does the same to him as the others.

Scott helps to hide second pirate. "So I assume we better not shake hands with you after all this ends?" adds with a little smile looking at Dotty
