USH'S GAME EPISODE IV- 'CHASE'- DARK SIDE AREA

"Well, to tell you the truth," I say, lowering my voice, "I told him to make that bet. We were in together, and he hasn't paid me yet. I just want to get my time's worth."

too much trouble with this beast by now anyway thinks Takuan.
i'm going on on foot, they did too, afterall

Takuan, your beast bolts once you get off it, leaving you rather alone.

-

Dek, the bartender laughs.

"Take it to the Hutts," he says. "Of course, they will kill you first. They lost money as well."

I continue advancing towards the forest, on foot, from where i sense the most danger from.

You can sense life from ALL around you, Takuan. And your sense of danger is rising fast.

This guy's gonna take some work, I think. "Look, I don't want to mess with the Hutts. Last time I did, I lost 90 percent of it to their bills. I cn offer you some of THIS money, if you like. As long as it's 50 percent or less." I add.

(OOC: Oh, Ush, it's DAk. a, not e.)

Just a spelling mistake.

"How much are you offering?" asks the bartender.

Takuan takes his saber in his hand, being prepared to ignite it in case of imminent danger. He slowly, carefully keeps advancing.

With incredible speed, Takuan, a tendril shoots out of the undergrowth and wraps around your right foot.

(And slowly begins to suck the juices from your leg, causing it to shrivel up into a prune...) 😈

Galder continues his routine as he watches the extremely slow duels around him. 😄

Jedi sloooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww.... actually, Mah slow right now. I'll give it another day then I am moving things on. Darn it, and I thought a fight comprising of nothing but regulars would be smooth...

AS fast as he can react, Takuan ignites his held saber and drives it through the tendril

You slice through the tendril, Takuan. But already, two more are shooting through the undergorwth to grab you again. And something made mostly of fur and teeth just shot across your field of vision.

Galder, Chion gives Marcus an early hard blow that makes you smile; Chion is laughing. But you are still in difficulty. With the Jedi fighting the other two, the sixteen remaining guards are concentrating fire on YOU again. Out in the open you are again being overwhelmed.

takuan waves his saber through the air in front of him aiming for the tendrils and the..thing, while backing away from where they all come from.

"I can offer you maybe a few thousand up front. Plus a lot more than that, if I get through."

(OOC: Exactly how much DID Ascar win?)

No-one has any idea, but it was most likely a six figure sum. He didn't actually 'win' anything- what he effectively did was make a ton of money by offering high odds on the other racers that seemed like a great deal- but HE knew that one or the other of the two Force users (that no-one bet on) would win. So all those people who bet on the normal racers lost all their money to him.

"Now," says the Bartender, "THAT'S a language I can appreciate."

GK, the Bartender's price is enouigh to leave you without enough money to bribe anyone for the rest of the story. Will you pay it?

-

Takuan, you cut free- but you are surrounded. It is like the Jugnle has drawn you into a trap.

To be fair, you DID sense a lot of danger...

takuan picks a direction and starts heading to it while twirling his saber around him violently. while doing so he sends out a wave of the force trying to keep back the tendrils.

Part of Dexx's vision?

Galder backs up and heads for cover again. He slowly makes his way to Rura's position.

(No blue light reflected in his face)

(Oh, right...)
