STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

Rianna also had the options of Weapons! and Local Wares to check out.

-

The Captain ponders this.

"Group of warriors, you say?" he asks. "Well, I wouldn't mind having you along... assuming you won't lag behind. I'll need to see what you can do before we run into real danger."

-

Xavier steps into the pit again!

Wilbim is a Lannik that has been cybernetically altered in a few ways. His species' long ears have been removed for kinetic sensors, and you can see that he has light armor plating grafted into his skin. Unpleasant sight.

"I hope you're ready," Wilbim sneers, twirling his knife.

the gong sounds and the match begins!

Rianna will check out the local wares, see what there is and what kind of things people bring back from the jungle.

Local wares are mainly things that people make and sell.

A butcher shop selling meat that the hunters deliver.

A fruit stand for those brave enough to... you know, pick fruit from nearby trees.

A pottery barn that makes, surprise, pots!

An art gallery for what few misunderstood artists dare live on Vorkuta.

And so on.

There is one booth that interests you, set up by a kooky old woman ranting to passersby. Aside from looking an incense-burning space hippy, she has an assortment of powders and potions all bottled up in her tent.

Hmmm. What is the crazy lady ranting about to people?

About how the jungle is going to come alive and reclaim what civilization took! Unless they buy her ointments and powders for the low price of blah credits.

Xavier starts the match by sending a large kick into the knee of the cyborg.

Dak will offer to show the Captain to his group back at the cantina. Surely Galder or Xavier has caused trouble by now.

Rianna watches the ranting woman warily for a moment.

"What do you mean, the jungle will come alive?"

The Captain says he is busy making final preparations, but he will send his Lieutenant along to observe your fighting friends.

Is there anything else Dak wishes to do in the Marketplace before returning to the Cantina?

-

What the woman responds with holds no water, just political jargon about environmentalism. But she does think that peace can be made with the jungle if you agree to coexist with it, not conquer. Hence her potions that she will give you at a discount price!

...yeah, okay.

Rianna's not terribly interested in looking at weapons, so...I think that about covers what I can think of for her to do here.

The old woman seems to get more upset as you try to leave and offers you a free sample of something purple and goopy in a small flask.

As for weapons... suit yourself!

Rianna will pass on that sample...

And weapons don't interest Rianna, unless it's a lightsaber. That's more something Dak should look at 😛

Dak will quickly investigate the weapons, asking the Lieutenant's input on how useful some of them might be in the Trap.

The Lieutenant explains that high-powered rifles are best against the wildlife due to high damage output. He himself uses an overpowered sniper rifle, whereas you saw the Captain's variety of toys. He advises against flamethrowers due to the dangers of starting a forest fire.

In terms of the rules, there are very few remarkable weapons here. Few being the key word there.

Bantha Rifle- A gun designed to take out large targets, must be held by two people to fire, with the barrel resting on the shoulder of the second.

Shield Rifle- You recognize this from your days with Kuylen! A standard blaster equipped with a small energy field to protect yourself with.

Stun Grenades- Nifty for Stunning targets.

Flechette Launcher- Shotgun that launches super-heated shrapnel, lethal in close proximity.

Rianna's ready to head back to the cantina and tell Rand what she found.

How much does this no doubt feckless weapons vendor want for the stun grenades?

After Dak has Intimidated him with some snarls and bared fangs, of course.

Hard to intimidate a man with a shop full of guns, Dak! He's cleaning a blaster rifle when you enter.

"Fitty creds," he says, not looking at you.

-

Rianna is returning the Cantina, which is a little ways away.

-

Xavier starts things off with a kick at the tiny cyborg! Hard to aim for his knee when he is about the size of your shin anyway. You punt him for 5 damage, with some double 6s to Stun him! Nifty as he misses his attack.

Rianna, of course, will be using Sense the whole way.

Figured that. Lessee... can I use a knowledge of Guns (applied to weapons in general), Observation, and Fix-It to talk the price down a bit? Surely the things aren't actually worth that.

Xavier seeing the stunned cyborg will take his boot and stomp on it as hard as he can.
