STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- The Cursed Swarm

I don't believe you have the power Persuade.

I'll use Great Leap & Coordination to get outta there and back to the others.

Spending on Great Leap means you don't have to roll as you make your way back down! The Bollan starts unleashing bolts in your direction. Coordination saves you some trouble and soon you are back with your allies.

Rather impressively, the Bollan has followed!

Seth and Aurel ignite their lightsabers and the Bollan stops to reload his crossbow- it has four launching mechanisms. Quite strange.

"What is that?" Seth asks.

"It's a Bollan!" Trawley states.

The Bollan looks cross at being lured toward so many people and keeps the crossbow up.

Can we get the droid to communicate with the Bollan?

You can! He will translate whatever you say for the Bollan, and vice versa.

'We are here in peace," says Iffa, "I am my colleagues here are Jedi Knights; while these friends are traders with a delivery for you."

The protocol droid translates what you say, and then the Bollan's response. For simplicity, it will carry on as a direct conversation.

The Bollan lowers his crossbow.

"You are the traders our Vaka called for aid?" the Bollan asks. "Only one of you looks like a trader."

He motions to Trawley.

"And you cannot be Jedi. They are extinct."

"I can assure you we are not," responds Iffa calmly. "why are you all up in the mountain?"

"Because of the Darkness," he says.

"What is this Darkness?" asks Iffa.

"All things that move against us," the Bollan says. "The Wanderers, the Sharers, and the Swarm."

"We have faced the Swarm." replies Iffa. "but what of the others? Would we know them by other names?"

"The Wanderers are those that now rule the sky," says the Bollan. "The Sharers are of our world."

"we call them the Pirates and the Garrans. The Pirates Attacked me on my way here."

"And we've captured a Garan," Seth reports.

"So the Darkness has found you as well," the Bollan says. "My name is Dar, greatest warrior of the Bollan people. I knew of your coming."

He studies the group.

"Which of you is named... Iffa?"

"'Tis I," says Iffa. Can Scan/Empathy him?

Do you want to spend the point?

Not yet....

Okay! So what are you looking for when you Scan your new friend?

Force ability? Intentions?
