"<We can always ask him," Kelko admitted.  Then in Basic, he asked the Twi'lek "Ja'tind would you like to stay with us in our room until we arrive at Tatooine?"

"I would prefer not to, but if you feel I must, I suppose I will." Ja'tind replied noncommittally.

"<Looks like we get to decide that,>" Kelko said.  "<Now what about Tanith?  Do we report him, confront him, ignore him?>"

"Perhaps we could sort this all out with him," Britton asked the Twi-lek.  "We'll be there to back you up."

"Sort things out with Tanith?" the Twi'lek asked incredulously, his lekku twitching nervously.  "No, please, don't take me to see him.  He'll hurt me!" he protested.

"Not if he values his life," Britton responded.  "We'll both be there."

OOC: Make a Persuasion check, let me know if you want it to be for Change Attitude or Intimidation.

OOC 14 roll, Change Attitude.

The Twi'lek still seemed hesitant, but he agreed to go with you.

It took some time to run down the location of Tanith's stateroom, but soon you were sounding the chime to his door.  "Who is it?" Tanith called through the intercom.

"We're the ones you sent to retrieve your pet," Kelko replied.

"Ah, very good," Tanith said, his voice cheering considerably.  He opened the door, his eyes and mouth smiling--until he noticed that Ja'tind was with you. "Oh, I see you brought the Twi'lek too.  Very well.  Come in, come in," he invited, stepping back to allow you all room to enter.  "So, Ja'tind has agreed to return me my pet?"

"He claims it's his pet and that you stole it from him," Britton replied.

As you came into the stateroom, you could see it was very nicely appointed, and more spacious than your quarters.  In the front room there was a couch and an entertainment center as well as a desk facing the door.  There were some decorative potted plants sitting on end tables around the room.  You could see a door that led to what you assumed was a bedroom.

"Why that's ridiculous!" Tanith exclaimed.  "Of course he is lying!  How could he even afford a domesticated stohl?" Tanith scoffed.

Ja'tind looked like he was about to protest, but with a glare from Tanith, he kept silent.

"He showed us proof of purchase," Kelko retorted.  "Documents."

"Hah! They're forgeries, naturally." Tanith countered.

"Can you show us proof then?" Kelko asked.

"Of course I can," Tanith answered.  "I have my documents just over here," he said as he headed to his desk.

OOC: Make a Perception check.

OOC 11 + 5 = 16

You didn't notice anything out of the ordinary...until Tanith pulled a hold-out blaster out of the desk drawer instead of papers, and shot at you.  The blast nailed you in the upper left arm

OOC: Roll for initiative.

OOC 15+7=22

OOC: Nice roll.  Okay, you get the first turn of the first normal round.

OOC How far away is he?  Could I reach him by drawing my sword, moving to his position and attacking?  Or would a blaster be better?

OOC: He's a move action away (you have at least the desk in between him and you).  So you couldn't draw your sword (a move action), move to him (also a move action) and attack in the same turn.

OOC Do I have a gun?  I don't anymore, do I?  I had to give it back.

OOC: I don't think you ever had a blaster.  Two swords, but no blaster.  (And now just one sword, because you had to give the other one back.)  In the last battle, you temporarily borrowed Kelko's blaster.

OOC Fine.  Are we all standing in the doorway?  How easy would it be to push us all out of the room and into the hall?

OOC: Sorry, this would be much easier with a map, and I usually have one, but I couldn't find a "hotel room" map.  So when you came in, Tanith closed the door behind you.  So you're within a move action of the door and opening a door is a move action.

OOC *Sigh*  Whatever.

Britton draws his sword and moves towards Tanith.

OOC Move action: Draw
Standard Action: Move.

Tanith tried to fire at Britton again as he approached, but being intimidated by the fact that Britton had been shot and had still pulled out a huge sword and was coming toward him (now angry), he couldn't track Britton fast enough.

Kelko pulled out his blaster pistol, and despite Britton's nearness to Tanith, he nailed Tanith right in the chest, nearly killing him.  Tanith was unconscious and barely hanging on to life.

Ja'tind just stood there in shock, eyes wide.

Britton sighed.

"Well, let's get him patched up enough so he's stabilized."

"Do you think we should call in house security?" Kelko wondered.

"Nah, he should be good," Britton said.  "It's not like there's authorities on Tatooine to appeal to.  Let's uh...let's get out of here."

Kelko got his medpac out of his utility belt and tried to help Tanith, but there wasn't much he could do for him.

Before they could leave, two male Humans in house security uniforms arrived at the door.  "What's going on here?  We had reports of shots fired."
