Relle will consider changing her route, then. She will start practicing her quickdraw talents as she runs, switching quickly between holding her lightsaber staff and her pistols in rapid twirling movements. She'll start running backwards too.
"You really think we'd fare any better just because we'd be stealing from fellow thieves? I bet it's something to do with our leadership, or rather lack of it..." he snipes at Rand, checking the conductivity of various components.

So Gallador is leading the expedition.... do the Epireans with us know the surroundings so we don`t get lost? Our piority is to capture some of Ogro's men to learn where his hidden base is.
"One leader of primitives cannot oppose us for long, we deal with him and this world is ours...unless he could see reason and stop his defiance. He is very exceptional Epirean, worth much more than the likes of Firak" - He comments to Con and others with him.
Gallador took his bodyguard, Torvus, since he was on the Rivas fight.

The planet's atmosphere was thick. Uncomfortable for most living things... most. Not for a skakoan, whose homeworld was among the few places in the galaxy where they could breathe freely, without their armored pressurized suits. Especially not for a skakoan who had died once before.
Vic Tatlo was a new member of this cadre of dark Jedi, having joined them recently out of convenience in ensuring a more stable survival under the radar. He currently kept quiet and to himself as the others in his group were seeking out some tribal creature named Ogros. He had little to say of the matter, for now.
"I'm sure my allies will be able to set up the appropriate ambush," Galder claims. "If we can pull it off correctly, we'll kill or capture Ogros and his group will surrender."
Rianna's getting bored and irritated with what she's doing, so she's going to contact Galder on their comlinks.
"Any luck where you are? I'm really getting sick of this...Rand should be the one out here getting them to help us..." she says, clearing her path through the trees with her lightsaber.
Well, we know the general vicinity that they were in if they attacked Firak's encampment. We can probably chart out the routes they could have taken. They don't have transportation so at the most they're using rideable animals to get as far away as possible. So that at least narrows it down.
Galder could do flyovers in his fighter, but that'd probably alert them that they're being hunted as well as have difficulties seeing through the canopy.
Damn difficult to ride through the denser parts of the jungle- you reckon they are on foot. And indeed, one of the reasons he uses the jungle is that aerial surveillance doesn't work. You are having to do this the old fashioned way!

"Ogros is one daring and cunning Epirean leader, he tried to rally the tribes against us, but we managed to gain majority support through the mix of fear and promises of technology and expansion and he was forced to abandom his land ang go into hiding. Yet he didn`t cease to defy us, during last gladiatorial competition we hold for the criminals brough to us by the tribes, he managed to free some of them and set our base on fire. He is still a thorn in our side".
Hmm, would relying on Force for guiding help find him? Are we able to find any traces of the passing, like broken branches, footsteps? Maybe Torvus is good at tracking, being a thiefing type?"
I wonder about making an ambush, like sending few Epireans ahead and giving them communicator so they can call us. Ogros is not used to advance technology, right?

For the benefit of Vic but also as a reminder to others, the Epireans are bronze age not stone age. Think early Egyptian. They don't live in caves, they ride chariots in battle and their largest settlements are decent enough towns with agriculture and the like.
However, they are clearly not the sort of species that are going to fully exploit their environment; this jungle is being left alone it it is very dense, and warm, and hard for you guys to cope with, pressure wise. It will be Strength rolls to avoid penalties whilst down here. The Epireans themselves are fine, of course; the higher gravity is one reason for their size and strength. Good labourers.
What strikes you, Vic, that as ambushes go, the bigger likelihood is them ambushing you, not the other way around...
-
Rianna, you've arrived at one of Firak's outlying settlements; you should be able to find a dozen or so guys here.
Gah... it's empty though. They must be off hunting. Also, youe've wandered into one of the comms blackspots that are dotted around the mountain area. Great.
You'll have to find another one, closer to the mountain.
-
Eller speaks, though she does not raise her head.
"I am making a complex calculation about this place and all within it, trying to find all your possible futures. It is not simple."
-
Well the outer circle is the only clear route, Relle; you'll have to run through some of the areas in use else. You could run through the control room and poke at Rand, you suppose. Or maybe head outside, though it's a pretty warm, even up the mountain. The air conditioning is still working, thankfully.
-
Ok Dak, you don;t want anyone to panic. But you are sensing a small fire somewhere. That'll be an electrical fire, as a result of the circuit malfunction, and depending where it is it might not remain small for long. Two problems if it gets larger- it could wreck the whole system, and you'll have to ask others for help.
-
Xavier and Azarl- the door to the workshop just made a weird sound of the 'I am not working very well' variety'.
-
Ah, great, Rand, now there are two red lights on the display. Dak seems to be making things worse, not better.
