Session 16, or Haha! Grenade!

Jul 24, 2014 14:32

Shortly after our heroes beat their hasty retreat from the death trap formerly known as Dathomir, they pulled on over to the planet Salin. Upon general agreement they decided to prepay for a few days docking and fueling, just in case a random adventure found them. Now finally having an opportunity to handle the issue of the low jack, Tu'la'loo likewise brings his (by an extraordinaryly loose usage of the term) ship to a separate hangar to have it removed.

Transport taken care of, the gang made their way to the nearest bar in the hopes of trading for information or useful gossip. Or at least three of the four did- the prince quite handily distracted himself with the pretty twileck dancers.

A bit of gentle prodding and greased palms revealed the location of an old man not too far away with a wealth of knowledge about the planet, so Bindi took off with a sashay of her hips and an armload of alcoholic bribery.

Ta'vakl and Attonka try their hands at locating an established hunting ground or ruins, and when asking around yielded nothing they found a public archive. A cursory look into ancient cultures on record reveal the existence of the Kwa and a potential direction for their next search.

It was with lightened spirits that the band regrouped and restocked in the shopping district of the town. A thought from Bindi has her disappearing into an arms dealer's shop and returning with a box of frag grenades- the grenades had been essential for saving their lives with that last unsavory encounter, so the farghul felt it wasn't too paranoid to buy a bundle or twenty.

Restocked and ready to depart, they headed back in the direction of the Kestral Raider. And are brought up short by the sobering sight of Blu'ta and a large convoy of armed Storm Troopers. Taking note that they hadn't been spotted yet, Bindi brought out her comlink and attempted to contact their astrodroid and get it to fly the ship away. In horror they saw Blu'ta look directly at them as he raised his hand to his mouth and a cultured voice came back through Bindi's comm. ("Meesa has yousa droid. Meesa has yousa ship. Meesa has YOUSA.")

As if to accentuate his words, the clomp of booted feet heralds the presence of several more groups of troopers surrounding them. Careful to not be too obvious about it Bindi stealthily looks down a nearby alleyway and finds it to be empty. A quick gesture passes her thoughts onto her comrades, and before anyone can react Tu'la'loo plunges his hands into the box held by Bindi, double handing a couple of frag grenades and tosses both in opposite directions at the soldiers. ("HaHa! Grenade!")

One lands practically in a trooper's hand and he hurriedly fumbles it, allowing the group a few seconds head start as they all scrambled down the alleyway. ("De grenade is not ARMED yousa fools!")

Running down the alley the gang finds what seems to be a prison transport (conveniently meant for them anyway) and two troopers turning guns in their direction. The gungan prince reacts quickly and gets a shot off, bringing one down, and with a snarl Attonka charges forward and vaults over the vehicle to messily hack the other trooper with a powerful swing of her drawn battle axe. Ta'vakl grabs a grenade, twists it to active, and tosses it back down the direction they had run from. The explosion kicks up a massive dust cloud and debris that obscures them from their pursuers.

While the group piles on Bindi jerks from a stun shot grazing her arm and the box in her hands goes flying. Tu'la'loo snatches up a fallen grenade and chucks it, blasting a group of troopers revealed through the smoke cloud. Taking advantage of the lull Attonka and Ta'vakl hastily scoop the stunned Bindi into the transport.

The engine of the transport roars to desperate life under Tu'la'oo's adrenaline-shaken hands and begins a slow ascent as its thrusters balance the air beneath. A deadly gleam sparks into the game hunter's eyes beside him as she brings out her rifle and rents the air with eardrum-piercing thunderclaps, picking off trooper after trooper.

Blu'ta's voice registers through the cacophony. ("STOP DA TRANSPORT!") And with a flourish he brandishes his sidearm... and promptly shoots Tu'la'loo in the back. Again.
