STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Slayer

Now that the Rodian is trapped in close quarters, Galder tries to jab him in the ribs with the knife.

"Who sent you?!" he shouts as he attacks.

This fellow is pretty helpless in close quarters. You cut him for 6 damage as he tries scrambling away. He does not answer your question.

Swap Gunslinger out for Street Fighting, tap it.

Galder brings the knife's handle cracking against the Rodian's skull, then kicks him when he tries to shoot Galder with the dart gun again.

"I'm not going to ask again. Tell me who sent you or you're dead!"

Initiative is yours. As he snaps up the reloaded dart gun once more, you knock him upside the head for 6 damage. You go after him again but you freeze up as the poison gets you again for another 5 damage. He takes his opportunity and shoots you for 5 damage on one success. You then kick him solidly in response for 7.

He curses at you in Rodese.

Swap out Street Fighter, swap in Focused Blow.

Galder swears back in Huttese before trying to stab the Rodian in the face.

You don't get his face but you groove his chest for 7 damage as he frantically reloads.

Galder not wanting to get shot at again, he taps Power Attack and drives the knife into the Rodian's side. He leave the knife where it lands and goes for his pistol.

You roll four successes for 8 damage and drive the Rodian to the ground with your attack, dropping down on top of him. He fumbles to pull out the knife and get his dart gun in position. You have your blaster out and pushed firmly into his neck.

"Don't kill me!" he cries. "I have the antidote! Let me go!"

"Give it to me! Now!" Galder yells in his face. "Do it now or I'll vaporize your brains!"

Intimidate, if necessary.

No need. The Rodian produces a very small medkit and hands it over.

Galder will wrestle the Rodian's dartgun away and the medkit too. Breaking it open, he goes straight for the antidote and gets it ready for use.

Doing so will release the Rodian from your gunpoint. Is that okay?

Yeah, better than Galder passing out from poisoning. He has work to do.

The Rodian scampers off! You can use your Medicine skill to apply the antidote and remove twice your rating in damage.

When you return to Kuylen, he is seated in the chair he had used for cover and reading a very old book. He closes it and leaves it on his lap as you come in.

"I trust my assassin has been vanquished?" Kuylen asks.

"He escaped," Galder says. "But I don't think he'll come back."

Galder holds up the dartgun.

"I beat him within an inch of his life. Should send a message to his employers. Whoever they are."

"You should not have let him live," Kuylen says. "I did not hire you to send messages. I hired you to kill those who seek to kill me. No more, no less."

Kuylen sets the book down on a table.

"Besides, it will not phase them."

What is he reading?

"Sorry to disappoint you," Galder says. "I just thought that scaring off their assassin would let them know that I shouldn't be messed with."

A history of the Rodian Clan Wars.

"They will just send more," Kuylen says, fixing you with cold grey eyes that pierce into you.

"You don't seem as confident that they'll just leave you alone if I do my job right," Galder says. "Want to tell me what you know about these guys?"

"What do you know of the Rodian Chattza Clan?" Kuylen asks after a moment. "Anything?"
