"Suljo Warde met Gel Marcolf on when they were attacked by Separatist assassins on Eriadu, and he sensed that the young Mirialan was strong in the Force. He hoped to induct him into the Jedi Order and perhaps even take him on as a Padawan after the war As of my creation, however. Warde had not yet explained this to Marcolf. He was not yet mature enough. "
The gatekeeper crosses his arms and gazes upward, as if remembering. "Suljo Warde had Marcolf with him when he headed to Arbooine to set the groundwork for a Republic base. The area surrounding the town of Quolas was an ideal location. At the time, Republic intelligence indicated that Quotas was torn by a violent feud between two families, those of Helshar and Tumris. The Sathari of Quotas are fundamentally good people, but prone to long-held grudges. Warde brought Marcolf with him in the hopes that the young man might learn something about conflict resolution and the real responsibilities of a Jedi Knight."

"Is Gel the type to just hand over the crystal entrusted to him?" Ayy asks the guardian.
"Would our possession of this holocron in anyway help convince him to do so?"

"He may want to get to know more about you before turning over something that valuable." The hologram of Suljo's mood seems to darken as he considers recent galactic events. "Lets hope he is even still alive. If the Empire is as thorough as you say we should tread very carefully"

As you break through Arbooine’s atmosphere, a dense, impenetrable canopy of green spreads out before you, broken here and there by mountains and massive lakes. The gatekeeper provides you with coordinates for the town of Quolas, but when you arrive, the thick foliage prevents you from visually confirming the settlement’s exact location, let alone landing there. Finally, you spot a clearing along the bank of a river, several kilometers from where you believe the town to be.

"Well done," Kodaj says to Larh, a hand touching his shoulder as she moves to leave the copilot seat. They'd made good time, and her estimation of the Devaronian's piloting skills increased as a result. She checked the readings of the world outside, looking for an indication that the climate was such that would require special equipment.
"It looks like we'll have a bit of a hike before us before we reach our destination," she pointed out. "We should plan accordingly."

Larh inclines his head to Kodaj. "Thank you. I guess when we have downtime, I'll have to spend some of it studying star charts. At least until we can maybe get our hands on an astromech droid," he responds as he steps out of the cockpit to go and gather up his gear. There isn't much of it, but he's not about to wander around a strange planet without a way to defend himself.

Taking a moment to check her gear Ayy prepares herself for the trek to Quolas.
"A droid of some sort could prove to be useful." she responds when Larh mentions an astromech. "Unfortunately these are all the credits I can offer to the cause!" a sly smile crosses her lips as she holds out an empty palm.

Tomian, with his backpack slung over one shoulder, joins the others as they prepare to disembark.
"Our confidence was well placed in the two of you. Well done," he says to Larh and Kodaj before addressing the group as a whole.
"I've brought a couple of stimpacks and a fusion lantern in case we don't make it back before night falls. As dense as the forest is, it is hard to guess how long it will take to reach the city. Are we ready to depart?", he asks.

"Yes, that seems a worthy investment, if we find ourselves in the position to afford it," she agreed with the Devaronian, in regards to a droid. She spared an amused little smile at the Twi'lek's tease before looking back to Larh. "Though I've no complaints about your own skill so far." She gathered her things, turned towards the others, nodding at Tomian's question.

Same here, Larh responds to Ayy with a wry grin, "But if we come across one that isn't working, I can probably get it up and running again." Glancing over at Tomian, the Devaronian nods and adds, "Ready when everyone else is."

"Looks like we will make it before nightfall. That is good, these forests are home to dangerous bearsloths that are active at night"

Before you looms an elrit tree of truly gargantuan proportions, dwarfing those around it. Easily three hundred meters across at its base, the trunk rises high into the forest canopy, almost disappearing from sight. This is no mere tree, however, as evident from the many suspended, woven orbs, carved structures, and the bridges connecting it to surrounding trees. This is your destination—the city of Quolas.

Taking a moment to look over the massive tree and the surrounding Ayy simply shakes her head.
"Do we just ask someone if they know of Gel, or do we want to be more discreet in our approach?"

"I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the natives here," Kodaj admitted, looking to Ayy. "I cannot say how welcoming they may or may not be. Perhaps we should see how we are received before deciding on our strategy for locating Gel. Come. Let us see if we can find some citizens."
Kodaj turned her attention towards the city, and if no one offered an objection, she'd start that way with a wary eye, watching for any indication of life.

Larh considers the situation for a moment before suggesting, keeping his voice low as he speaks, "Considering who we are, and why we are looking for Gel, we probably want to be surreptitious in asking about him. We don't want to draw Imperial attention, after all." With this, he turns to the holographic image of Suljo Warde. "Master Warde, do you know anything about Gel's other interests? The line of work he was in? Hobbies he might have had? he asks.
Aug 22, 2021 1:35 am
Tomian looked up at the huge tree. The expression on his face was stern and focused. He almost appeared as if he were sizing up an opponent before a fight. Ayy's question drew his attention back to the group.
"I agree with Larh," he replied. "I'm surprised that we have been able to get this close without being stopped. I can't decide if that is a good sign or a bad one," he added as he followed behind Kodaj.

Indeed, it does make one wonder about being able to make it this far. Kennoe says as he moves with the others.
