Nar Shaddaa

Moyr hopped off the ramp of her ship in her jungle wear, the breathing mask dangling unfastened for now, but humidity proof fatigues neatly sealed. She swiped the docking receipt at the spaceport and went out into the open, trying to locate a good place to start a chat on the matters of her interest.

[Streetwise? What difficulty?]

OOC: Streetwise at Average difficulty.

The place proved hard to navigate, and her urban instincts led her to a speeder wash.

EA1. Streetwise. Average.: 1eP+2eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 advantage


[An alternative roll?]

She is asking around a noodle stand in the sweltering heat and a man says, “You know you stand out like a Hutt in a punch bowl. Not sure if you are trying to scare people or what.”

"And you feel like being helpful in getting me acclimated?" She mused, turning toward the man. "No promises on being less dangerous though."

“No promises I can actually help either,” he replies getting some noodles.

“What brings you to Jiguuna?”

"Sightseeing." She smirked, ordering noodles for herself. "Truly. Though of historical value more than just for general grandeur. Sadly, anything remotely ancient is probably outside of town."

“Yeah, maybe Nem’ro might know he’s a collector I hear. Or you could try your luck with the evocii living in the swamps, they know stuff if they feel a need to trust you,” he offers while he eats.

“Otherwise they might just try and kill you.”

"Evocii violent? Are they not complacent folk?" Moyr mused. "Those tourist guideholos, they are always full of bullshit." She slurped some noodles. "Diana Syndulla. And you are?"

EA1. Charm. Influence.: 1eP+2eA+1eF 3 advantage, 2 Light Side

“Oh I am Vain, I do private security and investigations, actually on the clock, of sorts. What kind of history are you looking for, that might be easier,” he responds.

OOC: Total of 2 Failures and 1 Advantage, let me know what you want to use that advantage for.

Vain - Cool vs. Moyr: 2eD+1eC 2 failures, 2 threat

[To lessen strain.]

"Maybe some natural history? Exotic plant life? I once heard of a plant that enhances prescience, that could be interesting." She described the plant Baes had shown her.

EA1. Deception. Influence.: 2eP+1eA+1eF 2 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Dark Side


[3 Successes, 1 Advantage]

Vain is about to respond when he starts to choke, and lifts off the ground by half a meter. She feels her before she hears her, “I told you to come find me as soon as you landed. I was quite clear, apprentice. Your species has ears yes?”



OOC: 2 Successes and 3 Threat. Going to Flip a Destiny die.

Vain - Discipline vs. Moyr: 2eC+1eD 1 failure, 4 threat

"There was a call to the Imperial Compound this afternoon. I thought it would be opportune to seek you out then, my lord." She did not reply to the ears question since she was a twi'lek with cones. But she showed respect even if it cost her some effort. "I apologise for misunderstanding your will."

Vain continues to struggle as she considers that response. “Idiot, remember this for next time.”

She releases the man and he drops like a stone gasping for air. Lord Zhorrid says, “Why have you come to this backwater pustule? It smells of failure and Hutts.”

"Which makes it a better place to operate under the radar than the Smuggler's Moon. For discretion I can weather some toxic fumes." She looked at Vain. "This man was about to be helpful but if he is allowed to listen to more of this conversation he may become a liability."

Vain knew when to leave and so he departed quickly.

Lord Zhorrid says, "Then enlighten me to your business here, apprentice."

"I am looking for precognitive flora. It's supposed to be growing on this planet, granting a vision of the next day. Or at least used to grow. I don't know if the plant survived ecological devastation."

"I want one, get it for me," she says with a wicked grin.

"If it can be accomplished, you'll have it." Moyr nodded.

"I am bored now, I am going to find something to play with... make it bleed," she says.

"You can go now."

"My lord." Moyr bowed and left her presence quickly, roughly in the direction Vain had gone.

Vain is not hard to find he sitting under an awning trying to figure out what just happened. When he sees Moyr he says, “Hey look I want no part of whatever the hell that was.”

"Sure. Then give me the information I want and I will be gone. And I will not have to mention to her that you didn't cooperate." Moyr smiled gingerly.

“I already told you what I knew lady, I don’t even know what information you want. I just wanted kriffing noodles,” he replies honestly.

"I am interested in ancient spots on this planet. Ruins. Tombs. Temples. Observatories. Patches of original biosphere. Short of this, give me the coordinates to the Evocii village and whatever you know about getting there."
