Chapter 3 - To Cholganna

Blih take the party aside as people prepare.

"Are we really gonna kill some poor contractor like us now?" He ask covertly.

'If this is those Rodians from the Yiyar Clan they won't hesitate to pull the trigger, and nor will I' says Ken.

Blih, I get your concerns but most out here looking for this type of score aren't as concerned about others as you are. When you are in the Outer Rim, sometimes you just have to worry about yourself and those around you.

Pergano attempts to pat his back comfortingly.

AD-hoc's head swivels between the people talking. When there is a pause he adds, 'I would rather take my chances siding with the captain, who has decided not to eliminate us for the time being, versus the hunters who more than likely have no such qualms.' then he oddly tries to mimic Pergano's gesture.

Minutes pass as you consider your options, then you see Harsol and Cratala converging on you from different directions. Harsol has 6 antique B1 Battle Droids following him and Cratala has 2 cybernetically enhanced Nexu prowling behind her.

Well sirs, looks like were ready to move out. It'll take about 30 minutes to get back down to your ship. We can check in and see what info has been gathered and make a plan. Now that we've been found, I guess it's not necessary to eliminate them all. I'm sure they left word with someone on where they going. We'll just need to figure out what we need to do to shoo them away for now.

Blih nods.
"Any leverage we have other than violence? Maybe we could pretend you are long dead and let them scavenge the ship until a ship can come to evacuate you all."

Ken nods to Blih, 'Either way we need eyes on them and to be prepared to fight them off. Let's move out'

Playing dead's an option, but only if they're passing by. If they settle in for a real search, it's hard to hide 30 people for long. It'll depend on how set they are on violence I suppose.

Your group, along with Harsol, Cratala and two of her enhanced Nexu start working your way back down to the main ship crash where Dancy is waiting with your ship.

It takes about 30 minutes to trek back down and though it's still mid morning, your drenched with sweat and the humidity of the Jungle. Once back at the ship, Dancy updates you.

It looks like they ended up landing where we did, best I can tell they are headed this way, we may have an hour or two if we want to meet them here.

AD-hoc ask 'Inquiry; is the plan capture, or elimination?' curious if his team and Harsol will answer differently.

Jun 8, 2021 8:22 pm

'Ambush' says Ken. 'Kill or capture is up to them.'

Capture could lead us to additional information and we can maybe stall better...though someone willing to come out this way in search of lost treasure probably isn't the easiest to deal with. Pergano fingers the blaster in his holster as if to suggest it might be needed.

'Time permitting, there may be a way to capture them in the derelict ship. Assuming they enter it.'

Blih follows the group and observes.

Jun 9, 2021 10:59 pm

'Let's create an obvious path and entrance to the ship. Then set up for an ambush along that path. We can observe these visitors and see whether to hit them before they get to the ship, in it, or on their way out. Or even ignore them altogether. If we emerge all together, fire a few concentrated stun blasts, they might surrender. If they don't then we'll know what needs to be done.' Ken shrugs as if it is all the same to him.

He calls Dancy, 'Any idea of numbers?'

I didn't get a full id on the ship, but it looked like a Corellian light freighter, so eight if she's fully loaded. Realistically, it's probably four to six.

Jun 10, 2021 5:35 pm

'That seems manageable given the resources we have. Let us be cautious nonetheless.'

OOC:

do we need to scout out a good ambush location, or can we just hide off the path on the way to the ship

OOC:

This would be Jeswain's moment to do some cool jungle stuff :) Alas, if everyone can give a Stealth roll, I'll roll for the other guys and we'll check the opposed outcomes.
