"Right," says Bane hastily, "Well as such I keep tabs on several bounty holofeeds... And, uh, this was posted a few minutes ago..."

He turns the datapad, holding it out for the others to see.

The datapad does indeed display a bounty holofeed. The reason for Bane's concern becomes apparent as they read three of the entries at the top of the page. The first is an image of Stro'to with his full name and a bounty of 100,000 credits. Next is Xizran with a bounty of 70,000 credits. Fennec follows shortly afterwards with a bounty of 40,000 credits.

Xizran's chest heaves furiously.

"Why am I less than Stro'to?" he demands, looking at Fennec.

Fennec gives a look that suggests Xizran's priorities might be in need of some rearranging.

"I'm sure it's just a typo..." Bane suggests placatingly.

"I hope you aren't thinking of trying to collect, 'bounty hunter'," Fennec directs at Bane dangerously, tightening her grip on her blaster rifle.

"No, no," Bane says hastily, "Like I said, I'm strictly small time. Besides, as fond as I am of small fortunes, I suspect that assisting two Exchange sector bosses would have more long term benefits than turning them in for some quick credits. However, I'm afraid that old Durgal doesn't possess as much foresight. He does owe me a favor, but he would turn in his own mother for a hundred thousand credits, so I am afraid that the cantina idea if off the table."

"This place seems abandoned," Layla interrupts, "Could we not simply stay here for the night?"

"It isn't exactly luxury," Bane says, glancing about, "But then I suppose neither is Durgal's."

"We should at least lock the door downstairs," Fennec points out.

"A very good point," Bane replies, moving towards the staircase.

"Not you," Fennec stops him, "I'm not letting you out of my sight while that bounty is active. Layla can go."

Bane makes to protest, but Layla stops him.

"It's all right. I'll go," she says as she limps over to the stairs. She glances at Xizran as she passes, who still appears transfixed by the bounty notices on the datapad.

"You okay?" she asks, trying to conceal a grin.

"Die," Xizran says sourly, still glaring hatefully at his 70,000.

Layla really does grin as she disappears down the stairs. She returns a minute later, pacing over to the seat herself cross-legged on one of the less grimy mats in the corner of the room. She closes her eyes and proceeds to meditate

Fennec meanwhile, has pulled out another medpac from her pouch, tearing off the cap with her teeth and spitting it aside as she sprays the misty liquid on the mess of burned flesh in her injured shoulder. She then prepares to inject the needle into her arm.

OOC: Fennec Shand rolled 16 using 1d20+6. Treat Injury.

Layla frowns, opening her eyes.

"How many of those medpacs have you used today? You'll give yourself a cardiac arrest if you inject too much kolto into your system."

Fennec's lip curls as she glares at Layla, not removing her gaze as she defiantly injects the needle into her arm. She relaxes a moment later, seeming to revitalize considerably.

OOC: Fennec Shand rolled 23 using 1d20+7. Fortitude Save.
Fennec Shand healed 2 wound points.

It is Layla's turn to look unimpressed.

"Suit yourself," she sniffs as she returns to meditating.

Stro'to groans weakly at the mention of medpacs, though he appears to still be unconscious.

Fennec seems to decide it is about time Stro'to did some walking for himself and picks herself up to move over to the seemingly unconscious crime lord. She pulls out a medpac and sprays the mist across his chest, although a large portion misses and sprays across his face, and it may or may not be an accident that she jams the needle rather sharply into his arm in a couple of locations before she finally releases the kolto cell into his system.

OOC: Fennec Kang rolled 11 using 1d20+6. Treat Injury.
Fennec Kang rolled 14 using 1d20+6. Treat Injury.
Fennec Kang rolled 25 using 1d20+6. Treat Injury.
Vek Stro'to has healed 2 wound points.

"Ow..." Stro'to groans, twitching, sitting up weakly.

Bane seems to have found himself a comfortable spot perched among some of the moldier mats stacked up by the wall.

"So, who exactly are these enemies of yours?" he asks Xizran, "One hundred thousand credits is a massive amount even for the wealthiest of crime lords to fork out for a bounty, let alone two hundred and thirty for the three of you. And those mercenaries at your starship weren't your average enforcers."

"Technically, it's only 210,000," Xizran sneers. "But it doesn't surprise me that you also fail at maths."

"I'm pretty sure it's two hundred and thirty," Bane argues, "One hundred plus seventy is one hundred and seventy, yes? Then you add forty and you get..." he trails off as he does the math and realises what you actually do get.
