Who shows up to a massacre in progress?

Umm.. We did. And he's a Medic. Must be as frakked in the head as we are?

How'd you know it was happening?

The query stands, though. How did you know?

Edited by Edgehawk

What someone call for ems? "Hey there's some blind thing wielding 3 lightsabers killing everyone and a loose rancor, can we get a medic?" That seems frelling crazy... I mean we are all frelling crazy for doing this shizz, but we are getting hard creds! This ain't something like, "eh just out for an afternoon fly-around, oh call about a massacre? Yeah, I'll swing around and investigate, I'm bored what the frell?" Seriously...

Durrak heads to his room. I need to refocus and rest. The dark side once again looms over the galaxy.

Down some strain and a wound points. (13/14 wounds, 9/14 strain). Recovery roll? @april

(Feel free to ask me for a medical check in the medbay before you head to you room, that's why I'm here. Are you at 1 wound or 13? I'm used to counting up from zero in this system, so you would have 1 wound taken instead of 13 health remaining. The check's difficulty is based on the ratio of wounds taken to threshold. Also, I figured out in order for the tag to work you have to capitalize the A so @April . )

Bennar grins at everyone, I'm here for the same reason you all are of course. To liberate some souls from evil, and maybe make some friends along the way.

You'll fit right in, Bennar. (hands their new Medic a beer)

Let's get this show started. I need to see what happened to the other Jawa, so I can go with Griff to find him. My hopes for a search-and-rescue are rapidly giving way to the likelihood of a body recovery.

Yeah don't trust that, yall trust that? Ain't no one I meet yet is gonna just show up to a massacre, in progress on top o' that!! No sir, don't trust it, don't like it no fragging way... Nope. No one is that.... "nice"... Not in this galaxy, shizz... Not even our resident "nice guy" Durrak... "of Dantooine" fame! He's even got more sense then that!!!!

Why's everyone looking at me like that, HEY! I'm not the crazy fella here, oh Shard's just a little crazy, frack that shizz!! No one thinks this is weird... Whatever... When some crazy acid spitting monster baby leaps out of his stomach speaking in tongues, and slaughters us don't blame me!!

So what's the reason you came then?

Zyi was like this with me, too. (to Bennar)

Hey Zyi, after the flick, will you help me wrangle the Acklay into the Collector unit? Believe it or not,it was being less cooperative than the Rancor.

Yeah sure... Wait what? What rancor?

We brought that thing on board.... ALIVE?!

Gotcha! Man, you're gullible. Let's watch this.

Yorik sighed upon hearing news of another search & rescue turned body recovery. He worried that the same may be true for Sar Agorn and every minute he remained missing would be another chance for Insanire to learn more and probably break the ancient being mentally and physically.

Also, there was the massive hole in the Hind that they still needed to repair.

Maybe they focus on the here and now...

"Hey guys, for those of you who haven't noticed our latest on board companion and guest, say hello to Nix and come on back to the hangar for an ice cream social! We've got Chocolate Wookie Swirl or Coruscant Cream for your pleasure but we'll need to pick up several more tubs before we depart the fun and enchanting Flerbos Mall...

"Also, (Shard and/or Griff, do you think we could pirate a few parts and get to welding to improve our chances of survival in space when we leave this port? While we're at it, there is an entire abandoned mall here for us to restock our ship so yeah, a bacta tank may be in order... Along with the right tools for the job for Shard, more of that frelled death trooper armor for us to wear since something tells me we're going to end up sneaking into Sith territory at some point. Also, maybe some security droids or stun cannons for Shard and our ship's defenses, and we might need to scavenge ship weapons and systems from some of the other ships in port that don't have any crew or owners any more... "

You would get a different answer from each one of us. The short story is, we were hired to come. Our various skill sets and interests don't lend themselves to sitting in an office. Also a combination of credits and curiosity.

Yeah I'll get to work on the ship, not sure its legal, but if you think we can get away with stealing ship parts, I'm game.

Astrid, did you say we got a missing person unaccounted for we gotta double back for? I'll volunteer.

Whose nix?

See Zyi? Told you we came here for the same reasons. Bennar laughs. If no one on board needs medical attention I would be willing to join the expedition for the missing Jawa. If we find him alive he will most likely need medical attention, and if not, well whatever got him will most likely want to hurt us to so the extra gun couldn't hurt. Well it couldn't hurt us, it might hurt him. Bennar laughs again at his own joke. After he recovers he'll remember this is why he doesn't drink... Well doesn't drink often.

(He's plenty focused for a mission. He just finds things funnier than they may actually be at the moment)

Alright, alright. We do have the Rancor. We don't have an Acklay, though we have reason to believe there may be one out there.

Zyi: Is there someone here on the ship who can go through the security footage, and provide updates to us on-the-move? If so, we can get started.

Bennar: Do you have anything to sober Griff up, before we head out?

Yorrik: You've got quite the shopping list... no room at all to talk about a girl and her shoes.

Spy-D: Towel yourself off, we're going hunting.

Sure I think I can find something to help Mr. Untrusting dude. Here I'll take a dose to so we both feel better. Bennar laughs a little bit more at the thought of drunk Griff not taking the medicine and trying to fight. As the dose sobers him up to he stops laughing and is ready to go.

Last call for any minor patchups before we head out. Don't want to hear any complaints about your pinky toe after we start!

(Let me know if you want a medical check and/or a combat stim before we head out.)

So someone sent you!! I knew it! Are you another Zando goon... We already had one show up...

Looks suspiciously at Astrid, it's hard to tell if he's sarcastic or not.

Let's get going... I'm ready to leave this doom mall.

Yorik raised a hand wearily when Bennar offered to heal them up and help them recover. He'd taken several hits but none lethal. He was winded (3 Strain remaining / 12 Total) but physically unharmed.

"Hehe, Mall of Doom... Aren't they all?"

Edited by Cartergame

Ah, so you know Zando. Well who else do you think could get a practically unlimited supply of combat stims outside of the rebellion or imperials???

( @April what's the ruling on making a medical check when someone has no wounds, my understadning of RAW is that a character has to have at least one wound in order to receive a medical check, which means I couldn't help Yorik @Cartergame if all he has is strain, which sometimes makes sense when all you need is a good nap and not necessarily anything stiched or bandaged. I'm relatively new to the system so if I'm wrong please let me know.)

(Unless by winded you meant the critical injury winded, which I could try to heal. If that's the case do you know the difficulty? I'm AFB, but will look it up later if that's what you meant.)

Take a load off, hero. I was stressed the frak out just watching you out there. Take a break- we'll prep this outing.

Astrid do you have a prpiece of clothing or a personal item from the missing jawa? I've outfitted Aye with some advanced olfactory sensors from that poor k-9 droid.

I'll check. Bennar, come with? Griff will probably maintain that he doesn't need any sobering up.

Passed out. Taking the flask from the Jawa is surprisingly difficult, even in his current semi-conscious state.

Just do it. Griff jumps up, but it's too late- Bennar was able to administer the sobering dose.

Easy there, easy. We need a scent article for the search. Do you have anything of Charlie's on you, or elsewhere on the station?

Edited by Edgehawk

(I'm at 10/14 strain so almost out to. No wounds. Hopefully we'll get that after combat cool check to recover strain. Pretty please. Lol. Or we just need to roll tons of advantage and heal up with them.) :)

Ready when you are, let's find the Jawa, maybe do some shopping while we're at it.

Yorik smiled at Astrid's recommendation and nodded in agreement. He watched the others depart the Golden Hind on their resource gathering expedition and walked back up the hangar ramp to where Nix was sitting. He was exhausted and decided to teach Nix how to meditate as it would help them both recover their mental faculties after such a stressful and strenuous day.

"Alright, Nix. Repeat after me. Na- mas- te."

* Namaste.* He also thought into the rancor's mind as Sar Agorn had projected into his own. Even if the Master was gone, his teachings would still remain so it was best to implement them into the rancor as much as possible.

"Clear your mind and think only of a calm and smooth stone. Now, slowly breathe in... take a deep breath... Now, slowly breathe out...

"Good... Let's do it again... Think of the stone and how big it is. Slowly, breathe in... that's it... Now, breathe out..."

Their mind strengthening studies had begun...

Down 1 wound point and 4 strain point. I think all I need to do is make a resilience check for the strain.
