Mud Baths Are Good for Your Skin [LA4]

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr remained silent, just nodded at Baes' departure. She had not drawn her sabre, so there was nothing to hide that was not already well-hidden.

[Dapper Dog]

"So you seek this ritual? With the Sith? What will keep them from killing you and just taking this ritual?" she says incredulously to Baesal.

"I cannot aid you and aid the Sith."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw gave the sith a fist bump and continued in the same manner. "Yeah... Lots of good lots of bad. Haven't told anyone but I'm sort of freaking out about all this. But I guess that's a part of it." He paused again. "Just... Lots of things changing. Need to try to get through this without dying or losing my mind." He gave a nervous chuckle.

[Jo'ren Rath]

"You need to stop doubting yourself Craw Toboga. Be strong, focus your will. Do something that brings you greatness. " He was entirely serious up until he added. "Like playing more Huttball."

[Baesal Zyn]

''The red twilek saw what the ritual did and the monster is after us both, she wants to stop her. The big sith had his friend 'eaten' by the said monster and wants to avenge him. They are both friends.''

She smiles knowingly

''I know what you will say about a jedi and two sith working together...but I do believe they intend to stop the ritual and defeat our common foe''

[Dapper Dog]

Jo'ren gets an incoming message:

Darth Guy, so... uh, hi. I got a question, so feel free to say no, but I am going to Huttcon and I was wondering if you wanted to go. If you have time and are not busy doing dark side things.

Moyr gets a message from Vain:

I don't think you know how hard it is to find information on weird Force things. But I think I got something.

''The red twilek saw what the ritual did and the monster is after us both, she wants to stop her. The big sith had his friend 'eaten' by the said monster and wants to avenge him. They are both friends.''

She smiles knowingly

''I know what you will say about a jedi and two sith working together...but I do believe they intend to stop the ritual and defeat our common foe''

"I do not know of this Hazzan but the place you speak of, I think we call it the Hollow Lake... it is not a place we seek, it is dark and corrupted," she responds.

[Baesal Zyn]

''The Hollow lake'' she repeats A dark side vergence perhaps?

''Can you tell me where we can find it?''

[Craw Toboga]

Craw was silent for a moment. "Need to fix a few mistakes before I can stop doubting myself. Hopefully I'll survive that. Though survival isnt my priority." He sighed. "Spent the last few years avoiding looking myself in the mirror. Someone shoved a mirror into my face the day I set foot on Nar Shaddaa. That and a few sobering words from my friend made me decide I can't keep running from myself or my mistakes anymore." He was silent for a moment again before chuckling and saying "But I can always play more huttball thankfully."

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Sounds good pal."

Jo'ren gets an incoming message:

Darth Guy, so... uh, hi. I got a question, so feel free to say no, but I am going to Huttcon and I was wondering if you wanted to go. If you have time and are not busy doing dark side things.

The big Sith grins and turns away from the others to type a response.

Well... I could probably take some time out from Galactic domination. Sure, it's a date! I've got a few commitments, but it's on for two whole days, right?

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr retyped on her datapad, not having many better things to do at the moment.

Sure, bring it, detective.

[Dapper Dog]

''The Hollow lake'' she repeats A dark side vergence perhaps?

''Can you tell me where we can find it?''

"It is strong with the dark side, I do not advise you go there," she responds.

[Baesal Zyn]

''I understand'' she says ''But it is a challenge we must face.''

She then brought up her datapad and showed the women the picture of her and the Hutt's plant

''Also, do you know where we could find this plant?''

[Dapper Dog]

"We know of it, but we cannot reveal it's location, why do you seek it?" she asks.

[Baesal Zyn]

''We thought it could give us a clue...sadly now someone called Darth Zhorrid is after one and is likely going to kill an innocent if she does'nt get what she wants''

She shows the second image

''This one is not force sensitive''

[Dapper Dog]

"Why does a Sith want it, how do they even know about it?" she asks looking at the pictures.

[Dapper Dog]

Moyr retyped on her datapad, not having many better things to do at the moment.

Sure, bring it, detective.

A reply comes:

Creds first.

[Moyr Ahaya]

This better be worth it, or these will be the last creds you get from me, Vain.

Transfer was made.

[-500]

[Baesal Zyn]

"Why does a Sith want it, how do they even know about it?" she asks looking at the pictures.

''I found this one...'' She pointed to her plant in a pot ''...on an abandonned space station. I still have it in my room.''

She looked back briefly

''I informed the twilek sith and she told me she was cornered by that Zhorrid and had to tell her'' She frowned ''I don't really want to give it to her but I suppose we could fool her with the look alike''

[Dapper Dog]

"Then give her the fake one, seems simple enough," the woman counters stopping under a lazily sawing willow like tree.

"We have sworn ourselves to protect the few that remain, I cannot reveal where they are."

This better be worth it, or these will be the last creds you get from me, Vain.

Transfer was made.

[-500]

A message comes through:

There is a place in the southern hemisphere beyond the holdings of any single Hutt, some cursed lake or something. Some have tried to settle it but bad stuff happens and the Hutts just never saw fit to waste the money into developing it. Hollow Lake is what some locals call it. I have provided some rough coordinates.

[Moyr Ahaya]

That's a good one, Vain. We stay on good business terms. I'll contact you for the next thing soon.

Moyr typed quickly, looking at the boys afterwards.

"So, what plans for tonight, Jo'ren? I am taking Craw for a small shootout, so I know his."

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Oh, I'm investigating those murders. A Sith and a Jedi now. The assassin was hiding out but we've got a lead. I'm keeping tabs on a Jedi and an independent contractor." He shrugged. "No-one else was stepping up and I've got the skills to deal with that sort of threat."

"Need to do a bit of shopping too, see if I can enhance this new armour a bit further."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Well, have you seen that bastard? I did." She described Azanak to him. "He just got away. But I am glad you're looking into the matter, just wonder how the hell a Jedi got involved. Did that nosy Pantoran pull one in?" She then took a good look of Jo'ren's new clothes. "Impressive. You really need to pimp it more?"

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Yeah, that's the description. I've not seen him yet though. I think the Jedi was brought in for other reasons." Which he wasn't going to spell out here. "She managed to get us some evidence so not totally useless."

He flexed impressively in his armour and smiled. "Hey why stop at awesome? This shit is customisable, so that's what I'm going to do."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Just when one could think you can't get any more awesome." Moyr snickered, looking around. "I hope Baes won't be there forever. I don't know how long it will take for the acklay to finish one meal and look for another."

[Baesal Zyn]

"Then give her the fake one, seems simple enough," the woman counters stopping under a lazily sawing willow like tree.

"We have sworn ourselves to protect the few that remain, I cannot reveal where they are."

''I do not have the fake one, I was hoping to find one here. I have a few questions if you don't mind: Aside from the prophetic visions, what are those plants? Why are you protecting them?''
