I am sure something will occur!
The fight is finally over. Both combatants lay insensible on the floor, now only silence around them once more- a god time to casually rleax your mini-grip, Rand.
However, the Champ still stirs somewhat; he obviously has a renegerative constitution, though not quite like an Osokan's.
"My fight, I think," says Bora.
"Looked like a draw to me," says Jena. "I don't see anyone claiming victory."
"I don't see the Champ defeated."
"Very well then. Forget the money. The Champ keeps his title. I'll keep the challenger," says Jena. Bora pauses.
"Trick of yours, is he? Well disguised droid perhaps?"
"If he was a trick of mine I doubt you would have noticed."
"You would do well to show me more respect, Jena... one say I..."
But Bora's planned monologue is interrupted by a loud cry from one end of the Great Hall.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" At first it sounds like a cry of pain, but as it ends, it is more like an exhaltation. More than anything else, it serves as an announcement.
"What is this I find in herrrrrre? All soong and laa-ughter silenced?" comes a loud, booming voice, tending to exaggerate his vowels. "Who has daaaaared to bring quiet to this place? I will hunt him dowwn, I will tearrrrrrrr him apart! You people are my family, my very flesh and blood. there will be no dissent and dischord herrrrre!"
Vigo Lantarna has arrived. Wearing a brown cloak, with the hood down, his big bushy face is swarthy like the rest o his family. He is a pretty damn big man, must be said; Bora takes after him. He carries an iron staff in one hand, and seems to have his volume stuck on 'deafening'. Accompnaying him are six high-class assassin droids- not Techno Union mass jobs; more like the bounty hunter droid seen in ESB. They walk around silently, little green lights emanating from them sometimes as they scan people suspiciously.
Vigo starts making his way through the crowd; no-one else dares speak in his presence.
"Out my way, come on! Moooove, let me through, do you wish me to crawl underfoot? Is that the respect you have for the father of you allll?" To punctuate the point, he uses his staff to knock people out of the way as he goes past. The droids follow behind him, kicking at the odd downed person. If they had mouth they would be grinning.
"Now," he says, looking at the scene, "what has happened here? Whoo has done this to our champion and this... newcomer? BORA! Bora, my son, my first and greatest!" Vigo steps forward and hugs Bora tightly. "You shall tell me. What has transpired?"
"Father..." says Bora. "thgere has been... a content. The newcomer was the Champ's opponent."
"Whaaaaaat? What is thiis? It took me years of searching to find the Champion, on the moons of Vargas V! You expect me to believe that a mere human has deferated him in a mere contest of muscle and flesh and booooo-ne?"
"Father... I have reason to suspect this fight was somehow fixed... by Jena, who..."
"JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENAAAAA! My BEAUtiful daughter! Ha ha, always up to tricks and plaaaaaans! What say you of thiiiiis?"
"No trick, Daddy!" says Jena. "The challenger is the warrior of a group of newcomers. Clearly the favour of the Ghosts is with him, but also clearly he is a man of extraordinary talent."
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, talented, eh? On stimulants perhaps? Never a good idea to mix your narcotics whilst still seeing dead friends crawling out the walls, hmm? But still, I find it hard to believe..." says Vigo, prodding Galder with his staff. "Heh! Talented he may be, but he's not saying much now, eh?" He turns on the Champ, and taps the top of the Champ's head several times with his staff, causing a loud metallic noise. "And YOU! You I shall have words with! I am VERY disappointed!"
One of his droids emits an indeipherable buzz.
"No no, leave him alive... he will redeem himself, I am sure. NEWCOMERS! Hmm! Who are these newcomers, show yourselves!"
Tanic heads out with Takuan.
(BTW, Zink, remember Rand was embarassed last time by Tanic in front of Jena, and Tanic took control. You think it would be better to give the pretence that he leads?)
(Also, Ush, I'm going on holiday for two weeks - I'll get on as much as I can, but it may be not too often! Sorry 😮)
(so tanic goes for power grab 😛 )
(vigo sounds just like boss nass or whatever his name was ush 😄 )
"we come intending to prove our support towards the great source of the serpent organisation..which you lead"
(it'd be a nice time for someone with greater knowledge on the matter to add how we got rid of persis for him...and how we are simpathetic for the serpent's money downfall. there might even be a way to combine the two)
"To remove the enemies of the Serpent is a duty for all members! You need not come here to tell me THAT... his weapon, Jena?"
"A Lightsabre, Daddy. As they tell it, they killed a criminal of unusual talents."
"Criminal? No Jedi then? Hmmm... and so, what, you have come to be rewarded, hmmm? Perhaps you sought gain favour with Jena... heheh... MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANy men have!"
"Ahh, I see..." says Vigo. "You come to spread sedition and lies about the state of the Serpent? Seek to make power yourself do you? Come to make war of words uipon our very foundations! Aaa, this man with a Lightsabre... a rare weapon... not used by many in the Galaxy any more... but it is in some places... places where I have friends... perhaps it is one of MY men you killed, eh? You have COME TO DESTROY US ALL!"
He motions, and the droids raise their vicious-looking weapons.
"the man we killed is responsible for sabotage actions against the benefit of the serpent. and bringing him down was no easy task. you can check with your friends about him....how could WE destroy you all? how more can we prove our loyalty in times when many others fall into disobedience and greed?"
