Chapter VIII: Cloak And Vibrodagger

The town is not large, and within a few minutes the factory looms into view ahead. It appears to have once been used as a refinery for some sort of ore or fuel source. Low office buildings stand nearest to them, many of the walls and windows cracked and broken. Behind these buildings a large yard is filled with the remains of machinery and conveyors. At the rear of the facility four massive ventilation towers rise, covered in graffiti and grime.

"So how do you want to do this?" Sora asks, staring at the low, dilapidated buildings ahead.

"Pretend you are chasing me, and fire a few shots over my shoulder. That ought to do it," Zirak replies, staring at the factory complex appraisingly.

"Won't that scare them off?" objects Sora.

"If they were clever it would. I am hoping they are stupid enough to think that strangers wandering onto their 'turf' to rob victims is something they need to discourage. Weequay are not the brightest species, after all. No offense," he adds to Sora.

Sora sends him an unimpressed glance, then turns back to the factory.

"Well, let's try it and see what happens."

Sora sighs, drawing the heavy blaster from his side and firing a couple of shots into the air.

"Excellent," Zirak smiles, before giving what he seems to feel is a serviceable cry of terror, and fleeing.

OOC: Zirak Derasir rolled 20 using 1d20+2. Bluff.

Chapter VIII: Cloak And Vibrodagger

Sora begins to pursue him into the facility, and they have not moved through more than the first couple of rooms before they are met by a pair of wiry weequay. Behind them, another pair appear in the doorway. Two are armed with daggers, and one with a makeshift club. The fourth holds a battered looking slugthrower pistol, leveled at Sora. All four eye Sora's heavy blaster greedily.

OOC: Zirak Derasir rolled 11 using 1d20+6. Initiative.
Sora Bulq rolled 7 using 1d20+2. Initiative.
Weequay Gang Members rolled 6 using 1d20. Initiative.

Zirak steps forward stretching out a hand at the pair of thugs before him. The pair have given garbled gasps as dark tendrils stretch out from Zirak's gloved hand, drawing their life essence into him. A moment later the pair collapse lifelessly to the grimy floor.

OOC: Zirak Derasir used Drain Life on Weequay Gang Members.
Zirak Derasir has gained 19 vitality points.

Chapter VIII: Cloak And Vibrodagger

Spinning swiftly, Sora has stretched out a hand at the leftmost of the weequays who have entered behind them. Dark tendrils stretch out from his own hand, though not as dark as those which spring from Zirak. The weequay has looked confused as the life drains from his eyes and his dagger slips from his grasp. With a grunt his body collapses to the floor.

OOC: Sora Bulq used Drain Life on Weequay Gang Member.
Sora Bulq has gained 11 vitality points.

The remaining weequay has given a cry of terror, every bit as convincing as Zirak's earlier cry, and bolted off down the corridor.

Zirak has smiled and ignited his lightsaber.

"Are you up for collecting some rations for our next journey?"

"See? Doesn't it feel better having eaten?"

"Well, it makes me feel better knowing that you are not going to eat Bane during our next hyperspace journey," Zirak sniffs disdainfully.

"Success, I take it?" Bane says lightly, unpropping himself from a nearby wall as the pair step out of the abandoned factory.

"Well, weequays can usually be relied upon for that sort of thing," Bane replies smoothly, "So, now that we have that sorted, we need information on Sora's uncle. Specifically, any weaknesses we can exploit to help our dear friend regain control of his estate."

"I am more concerned with gaining access to any files with information on these Jedi Crusaders or the cube," Sora replies, frowning.

"Of course you are," says Bane with a sympathy that lacks sincerity, "Now, where is that cantina?"

If Sora detects any lack of sincerity in Bane's voice, he does not show it. Instead, he begins to lead the others in the direction of the cantina recommended to him by the trio of weequay by the landing platform.
