It is finally done. Durrak ponders his future. Does his stay with his comrades or go back to wandering the Galaxy alone. Whatever he decides he knows the force will guide him.

As you do your mind rests on the fact the force seems to become harder to tap into, as if something has sapped its strength.

Sensing trouble as they neared the Hutt and Mandos, Yorik reached out telepathically to the skull of the Leper King. They were all tired, wounded, and recovering from their near death experiences.
*Are you still with us, O Great King?*
Even as he reached out telepathically, Yorik considered the situation. For the Galactic Defense Forces to allow a frelling Hutt to come in during the cleanup of such a major operation, showed the influence this Hutt must have. They would all have to be sharp and more importantly, avoid antagonizing or provoking a showdown given their less than stellar condition. Still, Yorik instinctively checked his frag grenades at his belt, his reloads for Confidence, and for the snipers that would be backing up this obvious show of force between them and their much deserved R&R onboard their ship.
"Beer. We need a beer if we're going to chat!" He said throwing on his best and brightest smile despite how tired and sore they all were.

" Oh my boy you think becoming famous wouldn't garner the attention of a Certain Hutt, so he comes into the under city with these goons" ( he points to the Guards who seem more interested in Bennar than anything ) " and says Rico... go get your old buddy Shard... now you know Rico is not popular with other Hutts.. but they gave me this "
(It's a legal document in Huttese saying you We're property of a certain Hutt clan at birth )
He raises a hand " Now friend I won't make you go there, I can fight this for you. But the fact they came to the under city means they ain't going to walk away easy... They will Dispatch the Black Sun.. You know the old saying 'Everyone owns Someone on the Smugglers Moon' "
he looks at the others and shrugs..." Ahh in for a Evocaii in for a family .. Now Shard you know how Hutts are.. like I was... They think your a Commodity, they intend to charge the Republic and the Empire Trillions of Credits worth of resources, it could even cost them a planet or two..for your little... adventure.. "
" Come or No... But It was nice to Be out of my kitchen...and to see you... "
He hands over several passes for the Twilight Twilek a mega casino owned by Brulak the Hutt ... " Be careful, Come Mercenaries.. leave the people alone ."
The Mandalorians seem to be talking to each other via helmet Mic
One of them walks up to Bennar and holds out a knife. He un gloves his hand and slits his Palm showing Bennar he then takes the knife and holds it over his forearm offering the long knife to Bennar with the handle pointing towards the Dr.

You still have the skull on your belt, it is as quiet as the grave.
Yorik sighed and realized that he felt closed off from the Force. Maybe he was just too tired. Maybe they were being blocked by some creature(s)? Maybe killing Insanire killed the Force? He was too tired to think clearly. He just wanted them all to make it alive off this planet. Maybe shoot that frelling Hutt first and then make it off the planet. Yeah, that was a good plan...
How many mandos are with the Hutt currently? Also, is the Mando offering the knife to Dr. Bennar in a sign of respect that I can see? & am I understanding clearly that this Hutt intends to TAKE Shard as PROPERTY??? Because if that's the case, I'm definitely popping off a couple of grenades to start this party now before there's any chance of Shard being placed in Manacles...
"If the Hutts think they can charge the powers-that-be for our friend's services.. let them. But we're all through with working for entities that think they own us. I'm afraid our latest.. patron.. won't be providing any references."
"Jabba.. was just before my time, but his untimely demise is still spoken of. Hutts are long-lived, and have long memories, they say. Seems in his pride, he just couldn't relinquish possession of.. something he never should have claimed ownership of to begin with. Something to do with a slave, or a bounty, or.. I'm sure you know the story.."
"If the Hutts would still claim Zyi, here, as their own.. let me advise an exceedingly long leash. No creature should go out in so undignified a manner, over such a misunderstanding."

No But he's shown a document that another Hutt does intend too if The other hut is not challenged.
( do you have Mandlorian culture as a lore?, It's a good educated guess )

the Hutt Turns and looks at the group, " Do not equate me coming here as anything more than an Old Hutt coming to see a friend, My intentions to Shard are only Good, ( do you want to make a lore Underworld roll, or History? ) But this Hutt Who claims Shard has The entire Hutt council in agreement, Something Not seen since, Well, Since a long time. ( also Dr B, And Astrid give me a basic Medicine roll )
( it deleted the last bit sorry)
Rico Knows that you are Strong, You are the God Slayers Are you Not?, But They Will send an army If they need too. Rico will fight for his friend, Just As Rico Fought for Mira Against the exchange... Remember Shard?.. Maybe you were too young "
he places his palms together " The Second worst Crime a Hutt can do is ignore a contract. But Rico intends to initiate the right of every Hutt and Claim you have your freedom Under our most Sacred right, No Hutt will be foolish enough to refuse "

by looking at the size of the Hutt, you guess hes well over 2000 years old, he also bears scars from a Hutt Honour duel, while you don't know exactly who this Hutt is, the last one that took place was at least 800 years ago. With a Terminal, it should be easy to deduce.
Yorik paused and then bowed deeply to the Hutt.
"Ahhhh, our deepest apologies, good sir, for our misunderstanding of your most noble of intentions! We are more than a little fatigued as I'm sure you can understand... Having literally just slain the Gods to which you referred... We were headed back to our ship to recover and take stock of our situation. But, we would be honored to accompany you and enjoy your hospitality while we do what we must to clear our good friend's name and independence!"

Thank you for the offer of a vacation at this casino; I can't help but think there would be a job that needs doing in between enjoying the various festivities. Hutts, even among friends, aren't known for their generosity for generosity's sake. Turning towards the Mandloarian soldier in the battle armor, Bennar accepts the knife. If you intend for me to do the blood ritual, you must know that baring your head and announcing your intentions are prerequisites. The ritual is not something to be done lightly with strangers. If the knife was a gift for me or a token to be delivered to someone at this casino, that is typically announced also as we are not all trained as force psychics. Being laandur in our culture isn't exactly desirable. Bennar adds the last bit to try to lighten the mood; if these are truly Mandalorian soldiers they would recognize the insult/joke for what it was, a way to playfully put this soldier on the spot for breaking protocol as soldiers do among comrades, but if they weren't then they may try to pass it off as something else. Things seemed to be getting a little too serious for his liking so soon after a big fight. Even though this group didn't seem to be threatening physical violence, the potential for a sudden mission to clear Shard's name didn't sit too well with him.
Yorik gained a new level of respect for Dr. Bennar after seeing the Mandalorian troops offer a knife as a sign of respect to him. Hmmmm, his brother was an Officer in the Defense Forces and yet they were both Mandos. Interesting...
Definitely something to remember and file away for future discussion.
The mandalorian unhooked his helmet, you notice the markings of a very small but minor clan the accent is thick but understandable " I am Bashon Daughter of Naruko. "
From that you gather her culture is more on ritual combat than blood offerings " My people are small, I had thought you bore the lineage of Ethik the Fury, Our lost kin... You are the image of Him and sought to offer you a diplomacy blade if you wished to speak to our warqueen"
You note her posture is rather ridged, she realizes she may have just initiated a blood duel rather than the offering of talks and is quite willing to do so.
The other manderlorian is more relaxed but stands next to Rico
Who diplomatically steps in " Friends, Friends no time for hostitilies. Come my old junk has a nice bar and can easily accommodate your ship. Yes there is a mission. He looks at the two mercenaries but this is for a less angry planet "
" Vono For start up the ship! It's food time!"
" You Grotesque Gastrapod" you hear a voice..... it's familiar.... " I'm an Engineer, not a Gungan pilot.... Fine ill do it, but get a pilot please.... if you take this pile of slag out again "
As the party approaches closer, Astrid gains a greater appreciation of the actual.. scale.. of the Hutt she had just been spinning a condescending parable to..
I would do well, to shut up, and listen to some of his own tales.. those scars.. just how old is Old Rico, here..?
11 hours ago, April said:Yes there is a mission. He looks at the two mercenaries but this is for a less angry planet "
Astrid notes the exchange, but files it away, choosing to believe that they themselves are not the mission.. She also watches the scene unfolding around Bennar, with some curiosity..
A familiar voice, and the grotesque gastropod comment, break the tension.
"What do you say, gents? Shall we?"
Edited by Edgehawk"Sounds good to me. In fact, I hear music... Do you guys hear music? I know this song and it's playin our tune! It's called "Let's get off this rock asap and dance our Happy Dance of Survival!"
Yorik grinned and started clapping as he began to dance his way to the ship. Tipping his fingers in a light salute to the Mandalorians and Hutt in front of him, he began to dance his happy survivor's jig the rest of the way to the ship slowing down only to allemande or do-see-do with Astrid, Shard (who cursed him for the pain of laughing), Bennar, and even Durrak.

Of course of course, forgive me. Bennar says as he ceremoniously admires then holsters the blade, giving Bahson a gracious bow in respect. No harm intended. We are all a little tense after our recent battle and could use some refreshments to relax us. Perhaps you could share some information about where I could find your warqueen and this mission over a meal and drinks.
Mandalorian warqueen.. Yes, please!
Standing there in her torn mountaineer armor, stained with gore, lingering scent of adrenaline, fear.. flamethrower accelerant.. After seeing to the Hind's recovery, she addresses their host again, in a relaxed, but more appropriately respectful manner: "Might a shower, or at least a quick sonic, be in order? Or are we expected immediately, in all our.. (gesturing at the hot mess they all are) .. glory?"
Turning to their reserved friend, seemingly lost in his own thoughts, as he so often is: "C'mon, Durrak. Let's see if you can still put the disc in disco, without that archaic weapon of yours."
