NJO 004 Main

Caleb, 7:37 PM

So previously you all had time at the Jedi temple on ashas ree and met some of the other force users interested in being Jedi

Caleb, 7:42 PM

You all were the. Told that you must get lightsaber crystals, a list of potential planets to maybe find crystals on was given. You all left in the ship you had previously acquired along with two of the other Jedi trainees  li-geba (cerean) and voro (nautolan).

Caleb, 7:46 PM

You chose the planet dantooine and having just arrived there you see a some ships passing by one of the moons maybe exchanging fire.

Zubaidah, 7:47 PM

… what's going on? Why are they shooting at them?

Coil, 7:47 PM

I can't tell without getting us closer.

Esren'nilos, 7:47 PM

"Sometimes it's best to let people sort out disputes on their own."

Zubaidah, 7:48 PM

We should help them. That's just a transport ship, isn't it? It must be pirates!

Esren'nilos, 7:48 PM

"Should is a strong word, I feel."

Zubaidah, 7:49 PM

Didn't the old Jedi help people with things like that?

Coil, 7:49 PM

Coil takes the ship a little closer to get us a better reading on the sensors.

Coil, 7:49 PM

Yes. But we're not really equipped for space combat.

Caleb, 7:50 PM

Give me piloting coil

Zubaidah, 7:50 PM

It doesn't look like they are either...

Coil, 7:50 PM

((19.))

Zubaidah, 8:02 PM

... they're just trying to escape.

Coil, 8:02 PM

((Did I win?)

Coil, 8:03 PM

Who is?

Caleb, 8:03 PM

You manage to get close enough to see a transport being harried by an older style cruiser

Zubaidah, 8:03 PM

The ones who aren't firing. The transport.

Esren'nilos, 8:04 PM

"...I think Zubi may be correct there.  ...I can't get a read from the attacking ship.  Could mean they're out of my range."

Coil, 8:04 PM

Coil nods, and barrels forward then. "This might be a bad idea."

Esren'nilos, 8:04 PM

"Can I just say I have a bad feeling about this?"

Coil, 8:05 PM

No.

Coil, 8:05 PM

IT's bad luck.

Caleb, 8:06 PM

So coil roll me initative for the ship

Coil, 8:06 PM

(Just my initiative?)

Caleb, 8:06 PM

((Just roll a d20 straight))

Coil, 8:07 PM

((Ugh, 5.))

Caleb, 8:11 PM

As you get in range the cruiser tries to fire at the transport but misses and the transport gets farther away.

Caleb, 8:12 PM

Your turn

Coil, 8:12 PM

Coil is gonna fly between the transport and the attacker and take a few shots at a weapon emplacement if I can on the way?

Caleb, 8:13 PM

(Roll me d20 with proficiency twice)

Coil, 8:14 PM

(16, 13)

Caleb, 8:17 PM

(One shot hits roll 3 d6)

Coil, 8:18 PM

((15!))

Caleb, 8:19 PM

You destroy one of the main guns

Caleb, 8:20 PM

You see the transport speed up and watch as it jumps to hyperspace

Caleb, 8:21 PM

The cruiser will try to take a shot at you but misses it then proceeds to start moving away from you

Coil, 8:22 PM

Coil brings the ship around in such a way to try and stay near the cruiser's 'blind' spots away from any weapons but lets them break off and away without pursuing.

Zubaidah, 8:22 PM

Nice work! You're very good at this.

Caleb, 8:23 PM

It proceeds to fly away from you and doesn’t fire at you

Zubaidah, 8:24 PM

... I couldn't feel them at all either, not even when they were very close. I wonder if it's a droid ship?

Coil, 8:24 PM

Could be.

Esren'nilos, 8:24 PM

"Indeed."

Caleb, 8:24 PM

((Roll lore))

Esren'nilos, 8:24 PM

((Everyone?))

Zubaidah, 8:24 PM

((18!))

Caleb, 8:25 PM

((Anyone who wants to who is looking at the cruiser))

Esren'nilos, 8:25 PM

((Nope!))

Zubaidah, 8:27 PM

Zubaidah is.

Coil, 8:27 PM

((I got a 5, I think Coil is currently distracted with getting ready to jump to hyperspace if anything happens.))

Caleb, 8:30 PM

The ship gets a decent distance a way from the moon and also jumps to hyperspace

Esren'nilos, 8:30 PM

Esren'nilos kind of stares at it.

Caleb, 8:30 PM

You are left alone near one of dantooines moons

Coil, 8:30 PM

Coil check the comm to see if there's anything from either ship.

Caleb, 8:31 PM

Comms are silent

Esren'nilos, 8:31 PM

"...what were they after?  ...did anyone see where the escaping vessel went?"

Zubaidah, 8:31 PM

Um, that way.

Zubaidah, 8:31 PM

Zubaidah points.

Coil, 8:32 PM

The jumped into hyperspace.

Zubaidah, 8:32 PM

It was an old First Order ship, I think. It had their symbols on it.

Coil, 8:32 PM

Mmm.

Esren'nilos, 8:33 PM

"They wouldn't be able to chase the transport through hyperspace, would they?  If they were pirates why wouldn't they charge us instead?"

Coil, 8:33 PM

They were probably after something specific.

Esren'nilos, 8:34 PM

"Indeed."

Coil, 8:34 PM

But unless they had the other ships course, they can't track them effectively.

Esren'nilos, 8:34 PM

"...well...that was a thing.  Any idea where we should land to find crystals?"

Zubaidah, 8:35 PM

We should land at a spaceport and ask around.

Esren'nilos, 8:35 PM

"Sounds like a plan."

Coil, 8:36 PM

Coil begins looking for a spaceport on Dantooine, also scanning for old ruins on a flyby.

Caleb, 8:37 PM

Perception coil

Coil, 8:37 PM

((19))

Coil, 8:43 PM

Coil takes us toward the spaceport. "It's pretty spread out, we might need to rent a speeder."

Esren'nilos, 8:44 PM

"If we double up, we can get by on three."

Esren'nilos, 8:44 PM

"Save some money."

Coil, 8:45 PM

We could find a larger speeder, too. I have bad luck with bikes.

Caleb, 8:45 PM

You land at the spaceport

Zubaidah, 8:45 PM

I don't mind sharing.

Caleb, 8:47 PM

As you land you see it is not that busy here there are some other ships but not many but there is a lot of room. Most of the other ships appear to be transports or freighters.

Zubaidah, 8:48 PM

Gosh, it's so quiet. Where are all the vendors and the shops and everything?

Coil, 8:49 PM

These days Dantooine is mostly a farming community.

Esren'nilos, 8:50 PM

"Not exactly a boom system, I guess.  Better than Tattooine, at least.  Less sand."

Zubaidah, 8:51 PM

Tattooine isn't fun at all.

Esren'nilos, 8:51 PM

((Do Li and Voro come with us?))

Caleb, 8:52 PM

(They do)

Esren'nilos, 8:53 PM

"So, we want to get speeders, either a few small ones or one larger one.  And we want a destination."

Zubaidah, 8:56 PM

Right!

Caleb, 8:56 PM

Li-geba: it’s been a while since Jedi used here to get crystals ,so maybe the old Jedi enclave if it exists, there might still be records there

Zubaidah, 8:56 PM

Are we all going to stay together? Or we could split up.

Coil, 8:57 PM

We need to figure out where the old Enclave is.

Esren'nilos, 8:57 PM

"If we wish to split up, I can investigate where the old Enclave is while you buy the speeders."

Zubaidah, 8:58 PM

Oh, I was thinking more Li and Voro to be one group and then us to be the other.

Zubaidah, 8:58 PM

((So that the DM has less to deal with in terms of NPCs. >.> ))

Caleb, 8:59 PM

(( however you guys want to split))

Esren'nilos, 9:00 PM

"Very well.  I don't know much of speeders, though."

Esren'nilos, 9:00 PM

"Technology's never been my forte."

Zubaidah, 9:00 PM

I'm sure Coil does!

Coil, 9:00 PM

They're easy enough.

Caleb, 9:01 PM

Li-hens and voro head off

Esren'nilos, 9:02 PM

"Well then, where to?"

Coil, 9:03 PM

We need directions.

Esren'nilos, 9:04 PM

Esren'nilos looks for one of those mall map kiosk things.

Zubaidah, 9:05 PM

Zubaidah looks for people who look fun!

Caleb, 9:06 PM

Roll me perception

Zubaidah, 9:06 PM

((18!))

Esren'nilos, 9:07 PM

((19))

Esren'nilos, 9:11 PM

Esren'nilos highlights a map. "This appears to be a vehicle store.

Zubaidah, 9:12 PM

Ooh, there's a cantina! And there's some kids, they always know things.

Coil, 9:12 PM

Coil nods. "They do."

Coil, 9:13 PM

Especially local kids in a farming colony.

Esren'nilos, 9:13 PM

"...there's a vehicle store and you want to question local children?"

Zubaidah, 9:13 PM

Why does everybody look so... I don't know. Depressed.

Zubaidah, 9:13 PM

Well we don't know where we're going.

Coil, 9:13 PM

To know where the Enclave is.

Esren'nilos, 9:14 PM

"...very well, let's go ask the children if they know about a long abandoned enclave."

Coil, 9:15 PM

They might go there to do... kid things.

Coil, 9:15 PM

Dancing. Stickers.

Coil, 9:15 PM

Coil doesn't know what kids do.

Esren'nilos, 9:15 PM

"....right, sure."

Esren'nilos, 9:15 PM

Esren'nilos goes over to the cantina.

Coil, 9:16 PM

Coil goes as well.

Zubaidah, 9:16 PM

Do you know any kids?

Coil, 9:16 PM

I really don't.

Zubaidah, 9:17 PM

I have a lot of cousins.

Caleb, 9:19 PM

You head over as you get closer you see the children running around the streets a bit clearer mainly human some twi’lek and some other species that you can’t immediately identify

Caleb, 9:19 PM

They scatter away as you approach the cantina

Esren'nilos, 9:19 PM

Esren'nilos goes inside.

Zubaidah, 9:20 PM

Zubaidah waves at the kids cheerfully, but follows Esren.

Caleb, 9:22 PM

Entering the bar the eyes are all on you you get the sense that everyone in here is a local. Most appear to be dressed simply.

Esren'nilos, 9:22 PM

Esren'nilos smiles all friendly like and approaches the bar.

Zubaidah, 9:22 PM

Zubaidah smiles and waves. And is very obviously totally guileless.

Coil, 9:23 PM

Coil seems super uncomfortable with the attention.

Esren'nilos, 9:23 PM

Esren'nilos approaches the bartender. "What's good to drink 'round here?"

Caleb, 9:28 PM

There is a human bartender he looks at your group

Caleb, 9:28 PM

Bartender : what kind you want?

Zubaidah, 9:28 PM

Hello! I've never been on Dantooine before, what's best?

Caleb, 9:30 PM

Bartender: well we got the house special.

Esren'nilos, 9:30 PM

"Sounds interesting.  What's in it?"

Caleb, 9:34 PM

Bartender: home brewed and wouldn’t be a special now if I told you but we also have a general selection for offworlders

Esren'nilos, 9:35 PM

(Insight check))

Esren'nilos, 9:35 PM

((20, unnat))

Zubaidah, 9:36 PM

I'll try it!

Esren'nilos, 9:38 PM

"Sounds great, I'll take one too."

Coil, 9:38 PM

Water is fine.

Coil, 9:38 PM

Coil is checking exits.

Caleb, 9:39 PM

Bartender: one water two specials coming right up

Zubaidah, 9:39 PM

It's OK to relax sometimes, you know!

Zubaidah, 9:39 PM

Zubaidah pats Coil on the back.

Caleb, 9:39 PM

He goes around and starts working at the bar

Coil, 9:39 PM

I don't relax terribly well in public places.

Caleb, 9:41 PM

He comes back a couple minutes later the water is in a chipped mug  the two house specials are in clear glasses they are a dark purple almost black color and appear to be fizzing slightly

Esren'nilos, 9:41 PM

"Bottoms up."

Esren'nilos, 9:41 PM

Esren'nilos chugs it.

Zubaidah, 9:42 PM

Zubaidah doesn't! She sips, to see what it tastes like, first. It might be a sipping drink!

Caleb, 9:42 PM

Esren give me a con saving throw

Zubaidah, 9:42 PM

What a beautiful color!

Esren'nilos, 9:43 PM

(18)

Caleb, 9:43 PM

Zubi  it is fruity and tangy with a flavor unfamiliar to you but with a heavy burn to it

Esren'nilos, 9:44 PM

((Esren's doing pretty well today))

Zubaidah, 9:44 PM

Oh, I like that.

Caleb, 9:44 PM

Esren it burns like crazy going down but you manage to down it and keep it down, but it is not a pleasant experience

Esren'nilos, 9:45 PM

Esren'nilos gasps "Wow, now that's a stiff one."

Zubaidah, 9:45 PM

Does it come in bottles too? I'd like to get some for later.

Caleb, 9:46 PM

Bartender : impressive not meant to be downed like that usually.

Caleb, 9:46 PM

Bartender : sure how many you want?

Zubaidah, 9:46 PM

Three! Thank you.

Caleb, 9:47 PM

He brings out three bottles they are about the size of a wine bottle

Caleb, 9:48 PM

Bartender: so what brings you folks to dantooine?

Zubaidah, 9:48 PM

Perfect! Thank you. I have parties sometimes, these will be great!

Esren'nilos, 9:48 PM

"We were hoping to take in some of the sights and local culture.  A particular interest in some old ruins or shrines."

Zubaidah, 9:48 PM

Zubaidah pays for all the drinks and puts the extra bottles away.

Caleb, 9:49 PM

Roll persuasion esren

Caleb, 9:50 PM

Bartender : thanks for the business

Esren'nilos, 9:50 PM

((Natural 20, 26 total))

Zubaidah, 9:51 PM

Thank you.

Esren'nilos, 9:52 PM

"It was an impressive mixture."

Caleb, 9:52 PM

Bartender: we don’t go out there much and it ain’t the safest, between the natives the creatures and everything else.

Zubaidah, 9:53 PM

Zubaidah nods.

Esren'nilos, 9:53 PM

"What sorts of creatures?"

Zubaidah, 9:53 PM

Are people still recovering from the Empire and all that?

Caleb, 9:55 PM

Bartender: ruins wise theirs the old rebel base and then the other ruins that haven’t been visited since the first order came through looking.

Esren'nilos, 9:56 PM

"...does anyone here remember when the first order came through here?"

Zubaidah, 9:56 PM

What other ruins?

Caleb, 9:57 PM

Bartender: lots of creatures in the forests especially around the ruins ,  worst would be the Kinrath luckily they mainly keep to the deep woods.

Caleb, 9:58 PM

Bartender: some do remember but they mainly left us alone they were looking for something in the really old ruins

Esren'nilos, 10:00 PM

"Was there any talk of those traveling with the First Order?  Clad in black and carrying light-weapons?"

Coil, 10:00 PM

Coil raises an eyebrow.

Caleb, 10:01 PM

The bartender looks at esren a little more warily

Caleb, 10:02 PM

Bartender : a couple of those types were leading the search

Zubaidah, 10:02 PM

They sound awful.

Zubaidah, 10:02 PM

Don't worry, we're not with them at all.

Esren'nilos, 10:03 PM

Esren'nilos nods. "My friend here's right.  Apologies, just...we all have unfortunate memories of the First Order."

Caleb, 10:04 PM

Bartender: ain’t that the truth

Esren'nilos, 10:04 PM

"Any other ruins we should know about?"

Caleb, 10:06 PM

Bartender: There’s  quite a few ancient ruined cities hold on I might have a map

Caleb, 10:07 PM

He goes into a doorway and disappears from sight

Zubaidah, 10:07 PM

People here look sad. I suppose the recovery hasn't gotten everywhere yet.

Caleb, 10:08 PM

The locals have begun to ignore your group and gotten back to drinking and talking

Esren'nilos, 10:08 PM

"From what I hear, Dantooine's been hit pretty badly rather repeatedly."

Esren'nilos, 10:09 PM

"Good sign, though.  If the Knights took an interest in this place, Khyber crystals were almost certainly there.  ...of course, the question is if they took them all."

Zubaidah, 10:10 PM

I didn't really pay that much attention to politics before but I've been talking to people at home and, well... everybody's got a story about how it was.

Coil, 10:10 PM

Coil nods.

Zubaidah, 10:10 PM

... it wasn't that bad at home. I didn't know.

Coil, 10:11 PM

I was mostly in Hutt Space at the time. It's a big galaxy. Easy to get insulated.

Zubaidah, 10:11 PM

Maybe some day we'll be able to help more.

Caleb, 10:12 PM

The bartender comes back with a old data pad

Caleb, 10:13 PM

Bartender: it’s from just after the empire so it’s not incredibly up to date, but the ruins haven’t moved.

Zubaidah, 10:14 PM

Thank you so much.

Vella, 10:14 PM

[or have they]

Esren'nilos, 10:14 PM

"Indeed, this is most helpful.  Maybe we'll meet again."

Zubaidah, 10:15 PM

What's your name?

Caleb, 10:16 PM

Bartender: ahar

Esren'nilos, 10:17 PM

"Pleasure to meet you."

Esren'nilos, 10:17 PM

Esren'nilos turns to leave.

Coil, 10:17 PM

Coil waves.

Zubaidah, 10:17 PM

Thanks, Ahar!

Zubaidah, 10:17 PM

Zubaidah will kiss him on the cheek if he lets her, and heads out with the boys.

Caleb, 10:18 PM

You all exit into the mid afternoon sun on dantooine

Esren'nilos, 10:19 PM

((And also Vella. Vella's not a boy.))

Vella, 10:19 PM

Vella squints. She's still not used to unfiltered sunlight.

Zubaidah, 10:19 PM

((Oh right! Sorry.))

Vella, 10:19 PM

[You're fine]

Esren'nilos, 10:21 PM

"So, we now have a destination.  Now we go to the vehicle shop."

Caleb, 10:22 PM

There are less children running around now

Zubaidah, 10:22 PM

Right!

Esren'nilos, 10:23 PM

"Coil, I'll let you take point there.  You'll know what to look for."

Coil, 10:24 PM

Coil nods.

Zubaidah, 10:24 PM

Maybe they'll have a purple one!

Coil, 10:24 PM

Maybe.

Coil, 10:24 PM

Coil comms the other two. "Find anything?"

Zubaidah, 10:26 PM

Or blue. Blue is nice.

Caleb, 10:27 PM

Voro on comms: nothing really we found out about some of the ruins but don’t have a clear idea where they are

Coil, 10:27 PM

We got somewhere to start looking. We're going to see about renting transport if you want to meet up with us.

Caleb, 10:28 PM

Voro on comms: heading back to you now

Caleb, 10:28 PM

You all make it to the vehicle place

Coil, 10:29 PM

(IS there a purple one?)

Caleb, 10:30 PM

You see a building with a large enclosed area mainly full off what looks like farming equipment but you see some soeeeders that have probably seen a better decade but there appears to be a selection

Zubaidah, 10:30 PM

Maybe we should just pick the fastest one.

Esren'nilos, 10:31 PM

"And the one least likely to die on us out there."

Zubaidah, 10:32 PM

I'm sure we'd be fine!

Esren'nilos, 10:32 PM

Esren'nilos cocks and eyebrow.

Coil, 10:32 PM

Coil looks at whoever is running the rentals. "We're taking a long trip out into the countryside, which one would you recommend?"

Caleb, 10:33 PM

You see a relatively human shaped Gran running the stand

Caleb, 10:34 PM

Yard owner: for the plains or the forest?

Coil, 10:34 PM

Plains, I believe.

Zubaidah, 10:35 PM

Something really fast!

Esren'nilos, 10:35 PM

"And durable."

Esren'nilos, 10:35 PM

((Was it the plains? We're going to the old Jedi Order building, I think))

Coil, 10:35 PM

(I thought it was in the plains?)

Caleb, 10:36 PM

(( that would be the plains))

Esren'nilos, 10:36 PM

((Ok, just checking))

Caleb, 10:40 PM

Yard owner : we more deal with cargo then speed but let’s see

Zubaidah, 10:41 PM

Oh! Well, you can never have too much trunk space.

Esren'nilos, 10:41 PM

"Depending on what else we find, that could be useful."

Caleb, 10:43 PM

They show you to a speeder that is open with seating but also has pretty much a pickup bed attached to it

Coil, 10:44 PM

That'll work.

Zubaidah, 10:44 PM

We could put lots of things in it!

Esren'nilos, 10:44 PM

"How much?"

Caleb, 10:44 PM

Yard owner:You said rental?

Coil, 10:45 PM

Coil nods.

Esren'nilos, 10:45 PM

"Won't be long, likely."

Caleb, 10:47 PM

Yard owner: 75 credits now 50 credits each day till you return it.

Zubaidah, 10:47 PM

Zubaidah pays the deposit.

Coil, 10:47 PM

Coil checks out the speeder.

Coil, 10:48 PM

How much to buy?

Caleb, 10:49 PM

Yard owner: to buy 1000 credits

Caleb, 10:49 PM

(( roll investigation with advantage coil))

Coil, 10:49 PM

((Man, I wish I could roll decently tonight.))

Coil, 10:49 PM

((6.))

Esren'nilos, 10:50 PM

"...hey Vella.  Any thoughts?"

Coil, 10:51 PM

Coil frowns. "Well, thanks anyway.  I was thinking our ship had room for a speeder that could be useful, but I think we could get a new one for not much more..."

Caleb, 10:51 PM

Roll persuasion coil

Esren'nilos, 10:52 PM

((Before hand, can I attempt to use a force power?))

Caleb, 10:52 PM

((Sure))

Coil, 10:52 PM

((18.  Not bad for a -1.))

Esren'nilos, 10:52 PM

((Nevermind.))

Caleb, 10:54 PM

Yard owner: 375 credits

Esren'nilos, 10:55 PM

"Could we discuss an installment plan?"

Zubaidah, 10:55 PM

Oh no, I've got it.

Zubaidah, 10:55 PM

Zubaidah pays for that too.

Coil, 10:55 PM

Coil contributes for that too.

Esren'nilos, 10:55 PM

Esren'nilos does not. Let them pay if they're willing.

Zubaidah, 10:56 PM

Zubaidah doesn't seem to think twice about it, really.

Coil, 10:57 PM

Perfect. Thanks.

Caleb, 10:57 PM

You all purchase the speeder and head out

Coil, 10:57 PM

Coil drives.

Caleb, 10:58 PM

It’s not the smoothest ride but it does function and move fairly quickly for how long it is and how many people are in it

Esren'nilos, 10:58 PM

"Maybe we should've pumped him for some extra power cells, just in case."

Zubaidah, 10:59 PM

That's a good idea!

Zubaidah, 11:01 PM

We should give some aftermarket additions!

Coil, 11:01 PM

Could probably paint it purple.

Zubaidah, 11:02 PM

Or make it faster!

Esren'nilos, 11:03 PM

"...I could maybe try something."

Esren'nilos, 11:03 PM

((Maybe this is stupid but...can I try using force push to move us a bit faster?))

Coil, 11:04 PM

Why? We're going fast enough.

Caleb, 11:04 PM

((Roll me a wisdom check esren))

Zubaidah, 11:04 PM

But it's more fun to go faster.

Coil, 11:05 PM

Not when you crash.

Esren'nilos, 11:05 PM

((4!))

Zubaidah, 11:05 PM

You won't crash.

Coil, 11:05 PM

This thing isn't made to go terribly fast.

Caleb, 11:05 PM

Roll me piloting at disadvantage coil.

Esren'nilos, 11:05 PM

((Oh noes!))

Zubaidah, 11:05 PM

That's all right, it's still a nice speeder!

Coil, 11:06 PM

((4))

Esren'nilos, 11:06 PM

((...I'm very sorry.))

Zubaidah, 11:07 PM

((That's half the fun of it!))

Caleb, 11:08 PM

So esren you all are out on the plains and you send a force push to boost the speed sending the speeder into an uncontrollable spin coil you try to stop it but end up making it worse you all get jostled or thrown as it slams into a tree

Caleb, 11:09 PM

Give me dex saving throws

Esren'nilos, 11:09 PM

((11))

Zubaidah, 11:09 PM

((9!))

Coil, 11:09 PM

((22))

Caleb, 11:10 PM

Coil you manage to hold on. zubi and esren you are thrown from the vehicle and each take 9 bludgeoning damage

Zubaidah, 11:10 PM

Eeee!

Esren'nilos, 11:11 PM

Esren'nilos looks busted up as fuck.

Zubaidah, 11:11 PM

Zubaidah probably broke a couple ribs there, but she's still struggling a little bit not to laugh.

Coil, 11:11 PM

It was nice having a speeder for ten minutes.

Zubaidah, 11:12 PM

Sorry! But it was fun until I hit the ground.

Esren'nilos, 11:12 PM

"...well...I got us to go faster."

Coil, 11:12 PM

Coil gets out and assesses damage.

Zubaidah, 11:12 PM

Worth it!

Coil, 11:12 PM

No.

Coil, 11:12 PM

It was not.

Esren'nilos, 11:12 PM

"No, Coil's right.  It wasn't."

Caleb, 11:12 PM

Roll me investigation coil

Coil, 11:12 PM

Coil tries to use the force to pull the speeder out of the tree.

Zubaidah, 11:13 PM

I've never been in a crash before!

Zubaidah, 11:13 PM

It was an experience.

Coil, 11:13 PM

((18))

Coil, 11:13 PM

By the fifth it loses its luster.

Caleb, 11:13 PM

Give me a straight wisdom roll coil

Zubaidah, 11:13 PM

You've been in FIVE crashes?!

Zubaidah, 11:13 PM

Zubaidah limps over to Esren and tries to focus on his wounds.

Coil, 11:14 PM

((10))

Caleb, 11:14 PM

You use the force and slowly manage to get it off the tree

Coil, 11:14 PM

Bikes crash easily.

Coil, 11:15 PM

Especially when people are shooting at you.

Zubaidah, 11:15 PM

((Take 10 HP back, Esren!))

Esren'nilos, 11:15 PM

Esren'nilos is back to full.

Zubaidah, 11:15 PM

... why would people shoot at you?

Esren'nilos, 11:15 PM

"Oh, that's a handy trick."

Coil, 11:16 PM

I think I can get it running again, it'll take a little bit though.

Coil, 11:16 PM

Vella, give me a hand?

Zubaidah, 11:17 PM

... well, people shouldn't shoot at other people.

Coil, 11:17 PM

It happens.

Coil, 11:18 PM

Anyway, get comfortable.

Zubaidah, 11:18 PM

Zubaidah will heal herself, and then take a short rest while they work!

Esren'nilos, 11:19 PM

Esren'nilos regains spent force point.

Caleb, 11:20 PM

So about an hour and a half passes and coil and Vella manage to get the speeder working again

Zubaidah, 11:21 PM

Zubaidah takes a little nap.

Esren'nilos, 11:21 PM

"Excellent.  We'll continue at a safer pace this time."

Coil, 11:21 PM

The speeder doesn't need help, no.

Zubaidah, 11:22 PM

It was exciting, though! And we're all healed up, and you fixed the speeder. No harm done!

Coil, 11:24 PM

Coil is covered in engine grease and shakes his head, and goes to get the show on the road.

Zubaidah, 11:25 PM

Zubaidah seems happy.

Coil, 11:26 PM

Coil is pretty unemotive, but he might be grumpy. Hard to tell.

Vella, 11:26 PM

Vella is about as excitable as ever. Which is to say, not very.

Esren'nilos, 11:27 PM

Esren'nilos is unreadable.

Esren'nilos, 11:29 PM

Esren'nilos keeps lookout as we ride

Zubaidah, 11:30 PM

Zubaidah really doesn't.

Zubaidah, 11:31 PM

Has anyone ever shot at you, Ezzie? Or Vella?

Caleb, 11:31 PM

You all get back in the speeder and start going back to the temple ruins

Esren'nilos, 11:31 PM

"A few times, maybe."

Zubaidah, 11:32 PM

Why?

Esren'nilos, 11:32 PM

"Jealousy, I like to think."

Zubaidah, 11:33 PM

What were they jealous over?

Esren'nilos, 11:33 PM

"My rakish charm and dashing good looks."

Esren'nilos, 11:33 PM

Esren'nilos strikes a pose, playing into it.

Zubaidah, 11:34 PM

Well, you are charming and handsome, but nobody shoots anybody just for that.

Esren'nilos, 11:34 PM

"Well, if I see them again, I guess I'll have to ask."

Vella, 11:36 PM

I generally avoid blaster fire, but once I was out scavenging and some stormtroopers took a potshot at me. Really says something about how they indoctrinate those poor saps.

Esren'nilos, 11:37 PM

Esren'nilos says nothing.

Coil, 11:37 PM

Coil drives and doesn't really contribute to this particular discussion.

Caleb, 11:37 PM

You all eventually reach the temple ruins as night begins to fall

Zubaidah, 11:38 PM

Are we going to camp out?

Coil, 11:38 PM

We'll probably have to, though I'd like to have a look around the ruins first.

Zubaidah, 11:39 PM

Of course! It might not be safe otherwise.

Esren'nilos, 11:39 PM

"I'd like to as well."

Caleb, 11:41 PM

You all get out of the speeder looking at the ruins you see most of the upper levels have collapsed or worn away

Zubaidah, 11:43 PM

It must have been a pretty place once.

Esren'nilos, 11:44 PM

"Note to self, learn to sense the force in places.  Bet it'd be really handy."

Zubaidah, 11:45 PM

I think that's what the slimy, gross thing was at the temple before.

Esren'nilos, 11:46 PM

"The force is many things."

Esren'nilos, 11:46 PM

"Some of it may seem slimy and gross to some."

Zubaidah, 11:47 PM

That temple really didn't like me.

Esren'nilos, 11:47 PM

"That's unfortunate.  I think it was very happy to have me."

Coil, 11:47 PM

It didn't like me either.

Zubaidah, 11:47 PM

I don't think it's a good place.

Esren'nilos, 11:48 PM

"Good's a fluid concept, in my opinion.  Most things are a matter of perspective."

Zubaidah, 11:48 PM

... maybe we should all check and see if we can feel this place.

Esren'nilos, 11:50 PM

"...I don't think so.  This is more a guess than a feeling, but I don't think the force flows here like it does back at the temple."

Esren'nilos, 11:50 PM

"Of course, inside...I may learn differently."

Zubaidah, 11:52 PM

Well, after all it's everywhere, though. Finding it might be harder, is all.

Esren'nilos, 11:52 PM

"Indeed."

Zubaidah, 11:52 PM

We should be careful, the top levels look like they fell in.

Zubaidah, 11:52 PM

Come on!

Zubaidah, 11:52 PM

Zubaidah heads in there!

Esren'nilos, 11:52 PM

"I thought we were resting first?"

Coil, 11:53 PM

I thought we were having a look around.

Esren'nilos, 11:53 PM

Esren'nilos sighs. "Well...let's go make sure she doesn't die."

Esren'nilos, 11:53 PM

"...or kill something."

Coil, 11:53 PM

Coil is going with her already.

Coil, 11:53 PM

Coil wants a fucking lightsaber.

Vella, 11:53 PM

Vella shrugs and follows.

Esren'nilos, 11:54 PM

Esren'nilos is in there.

Caleb, 11:54 PM

As you enter you see the floor looks cleaner and more cared for than a ruin should and you see the main hall is more or less intact

Zubaidah, 11:56 PM

Someone must be staying here.

Esren'nilos, 11:57 PM

"Indeed...question is...what sort of someone?"

Zubaidah, 11:58 PM

Maybe we'll find them...

Zubaidah, 11:58 PM

Hello?

Zubaidah, 11:58 PM

HELLO?!

Esren'nilos, 11:58 PM

"I would not recommend that approach."

Esren'nilos, 11:58 PM

"That's how I ended up getting shot at one of the times."

Zubaidah, 11:59 PM

Really?

Zubaidah, 11:59 PM

Why?

Esren'nilos, 12:00 AM

"Some people greatly dislike company."

Caleb, 12:00 AM

You hear clattering and see some droids move in an out of hallways as lights begin to go on

Esren'nilos, 12:01 AM

"...I vote we try and avoid those where possible."

Esren'nilos, 12:01 AM

Esren'nilos will try and slip into the shadows.

Caleb, 12:02 AM

Some of them pass by you  and seem to ignore you ?and you get a good look at them (roll me lore)

Esren'nilos, 12:03 AM

((7!))

Zubaidah, 12:03 AM

... people usually like me.

Coil, 12:04 AM

You seem pretty likable.

Coil, 12:05 AM

(18)

Coil, 12:07 AM

These droids have been here awhile.

Coil, 12:07 AM

Hello? We're Jedi padawans. Can you assist us?

Coil, 12:07 AM

Coil calls out.

Esren'nilos, 12:08 AM

Esren'nilos slips out from the shadows.

Caleb, 12:08 AM

They all stop and look at coil

Zubaidah, 12:08 AM

Zubaidah waves at them.

Caleb, 12:09 AM

Then go back to what they were doing most of them heading into a hallway that seems to go down

Zubaidah, 12:10 AM

Maybe we should follow them?

Coil, 12:10 AM

Coil nods.

Esren'nilos, 12:10 AM

"Sure why not?"

Zubaidah, 12:11 AM

Zubaidah follows the 'bots!

Esren'nilos, 12:11 AM

Esren'nilos follows Zubi.

Caleb, 12:12 AM

Following them down you see a couple rooms and hallways that are collapsed or empty or the doors appear sealed shut

Caleb, 12:16 AM

You eventually reach a turn and the droids go down a couple hallways but you hear a scraping of metal against stone from one of the Hallways in front of you

Esren'nilos, 12:17 AM

"...ok...do we go towards the sound or away?"

Zubaidah, 12:18 AM

Toward!

Coil, 12:18 AM

Coil nods. "Yeah, let's goward toward the noise."

Esren'nilos, 12:19 AM

"...ok then.  Caution to the wind it is."

Coil, 12:19 AM

I thought we left caution behind when you crashed our speeder.

Vella, 12:20 AM

Vella trundles along, having to hoof it just a bit more in comparison to the others on account of being as short as she is.

Esren'nilos, 12:20 AM

"Are you still on that?  That was forever ago."

Zubaidah, 12:21 AM

I thought it was fun.

Caleb, 12:21 AM

You enter the hallway and at the other end see two figures masked with strange designs on them dressed all in black and armed with what appears to be massive vibroweapons

Caleb, 12:22 AM

The figures make weird inarticulate cries and charge at your group

Caleb, 12:22 AM

And that is where we end it for  tonight
