STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Heroes of Old

"But Lopans are your enemies, right?" Asks Gallador quietly.

"Yeah, your point?" asks another of the gangsters. "Taking that out on one guy is just going to bring the Lopans down on us. That's not smart."

"This guy must feel quite confident, coming along here.... but you are going to take action against the Lopans, right?"

A Savoir-Faire check tells you that some gangs may see their headquarters as a sort of safe zone. So long as this man isn't flaunting his association or taking action against the 800 Gang, he's probably welcome to pass through.

"We don't even know where to hit them. But they know where to hit us."

"So, their leaders and headquaters are a mystery, which gives them advantage?"

"Well yeah. How do you fight someone when you don't know where they are?"

"We know where one of them is..." Corelay says to you. "Maybe we should try talking to him?"

"He left, didn`t he? And we should propably consult with our Masters before we directly engage the Lopans." He takes Corelay aside and responds to him.

Corelay, not the most subtle Padawan, jabs his thumb in the direction of the bar that you just left. The lone man is paying his tab.

"I guess that's your call," Corelay says. "But one day we won't have Masters to consult. I say we try to talk to him or at least find out more about him."

Gallador wonders about Corelay's words. His senses tell him to be cautious, but the heroes he likes to read about were not the cautious ones ..

"So be it, we are the Jedi. Let's be bold".

He approaches the mysterious man.

"Greetings, i heard you know how to get in touch with Lopans and we are interested".

You boldly step toward the strange loner... but he glances sideways at you and moves away from the bar without a glance back. He moves toward a small alcove with a sign labeling it as a coat check.

"Sorry, Mister, may we take you a minute? We are looking for the Lopans and though you can help us." Says Gallador, approaching the man as he is trying to leave.

The man ducks into the coat check. Does Gallador follow?

Yes, let's not give up that easily.

You duck into the coat check yourself, stepping into a darkened room.

The door shuts behind you just before Corelay can walk through.

"I just wanted to talk..." Says Gallador, looking at the door shooting behind him.

You hear Corelay knocking insistently on the door outside.

"About the Lopans?" asks the man, somewhere in the dimness near you. "Why?"

"I want to join them."

The man speaks with a Coruscant accent from the lower levels, akin to Cockney.

"You're a kid. Why join a gang? And why the Lopans?"

"I need money and I am quite good at doing things, better than most people older than me." Says Gallador.

"What kind of things?"
