Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

"We need to get him a medpac," Kelsi says faintly to Stro'to, back at the boarding ramp, pale and clammy with one hand clutching her stomach as she staggers past the Twi'lek and Dalnan down the corridor in search of the ship's medbay.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Outside, Lendon and Xizran's bidding war continues.

"600 credits to the one who kills Xizran," he growls, blaster held at the ready just in case any of his thugs are stupid enough to actually take Xizran up on his offer. "And I would call it 'prolonged' rather than 'botched'. Besides, you never even pay your employees' wages on time. Why would anyone think there was a chance you'd actually cough up the credits even if you had them?"

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Fennec has taken advantage of the lull in combat afforded by the pair's arguing to pull out a medpac from a belt pouch. Tearing off the cap with her teeth and spitting it aside, she sprays the misty liquid on the mess of burned flesh in her injured shoulder and injects the needle into the wound, exhaling as she appears to revive a little. She tosses the depleted pack aside as she readies her rifle once more.

OOC: Fennec Kang rolled 16. Treat Injury Check.
Fennec Kang healed 2 wound points.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

"Please," Xizran sneers. "If the Exchange central accounting system had issues paying your wages on time, Lendon, that isn't my problem. Everyone here knows that when I hire mercenaries myself, there are no delays in the payment process and I have enough sludge funds to build my own skypalace and buy the air space in Coruscant to park it on. Which means I can certainly afford to pay 700 credits to whoever shoots you, even if I am locked out of my Exchange account."

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Stro'to, who may or may not have gotten more exercise today than he has in years moving this human, makes a wheezing noise meant to indicate agreement (with Kelsi's comment about that medipac, though it's clear Stro'to is greatly encouraged by Xizran's optimistic report on his accessible credits) as he continues moving the elderly human following Kelsi.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Lendon opens his mouth to reply to Xizran, but as he does so, a burly Klatooinian nearby who in whose eyes a greedy glint has steadily growing suddenly spins toward the human mercenary, raising his blaster. He never gets to pull the trigger, however, as Lendon moves even faster, despite his injured state, blasting the Klatooinian in the chest as the thug slumps to the ground with a garbled groan.

"Anyone else feel like dying? Or would you rather get paid?" Lendon growls at his remaining thugs.

OOC: Lendon Vuln rolled 28. Intimidate Check.

Fennec smirks, apparently pleased that she and Xizran aren't the only ones today having trouble with treacherous minions.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Quilran, who has managed to crawl over to the body of Lendon's bodyguard to retrieve the Aqualish's heavy blaster seems to feel that this brings a close to the verbal exchange, leaping up to blast at the wiry Rodian who fired at him earlier. The Rodian, his attention on Lendon and the unfortunate Klatooinian, is caught off guard by Quilran's blast which strikes him in the chest as he crashes back against a canister behind him, flipping over it to land, slumped lopsidedly with his feet in the air.

OOC: Quilran Tarro dealt 14 wound points to Exchange Thug.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

The Duros by the door fires back at Quilran, his blasts singing the Kiffar's dreadlocks as he hastily ducks away from the blasts. The Nikto who shot Kelsi darts forward in an ambitious attempt to blast Xizran, though his hasty shot doesn't come close to striking the Falleen. The remaining thugs also continue advancing, some blasting at where they last saw Fennec and Quilran, attempting to keep as much cover as they can.

OOC: Exchange Thug dealt 8 vitality points to Quilran Tarro.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Xizran's finely-chiseled nostrils flare in outrage at he himself being targeted.

Xizran also seems to be picking the right timing to bolt for the boarding ramp.

"Fine. If you all prefer to stay loyal to Lendon there, forget it. But just remember, I am going to be publishing the footage of today as soon as I get off-planet straight to the Holonet and then it's going to be you lot who have a fun time explaining to your bosses just how I got away. Good luck with that, Lendon," Xizran says nastily, tossing one more grenade, this time a smoke one, that fills the air with a hissing fog of smoke as the Falleen promptly makes his escape.

Fennec also pushes herself up with a grimace as she follows after Xizran, through the haze provided by the grenade. Blasts fly about them as their pursuers fire blindly into the smoke in the vain hope of striking them before they escape, with none coming close as the pair reach the safety of the boarding ramp.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

"You kiddin'?" Quilran sends a voice holo back as he darts across the room to leap out of the hangar door opened by Bane and onto the walkway outside, firing wildly into the mist behind him as he does so. "Kalana's worth more than all the bounties combined!" (During his time in Quilran's company earlier he has learned that this is the name the Kiffar has given his speeder.) "You stick with 'em, though, and I'll catch you up. This ain't over."

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Stro'to makes a pained, plaintive noise as the impending doom of being stuck on the same vessel as Fennec and Xizran with no bodyguards while trying to extract 10,000 credits rears its scaled head.

However, as he looks down at Dalnan it seems to occur to him that self-pity needs to have limits, because at least Stro'to hasn't been shot yet.
"Do you have a first-aid kit, Bane?" he calls out, continuing to wheeze his way over to the medbay.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Bane ignores him, busy punching controls as the ship's shields are engaged and it lifts into the air before accelerating out of the hangar. Below them, the miniature form of Quilran races along the walkway toward his badly parked speeder, a Rodian and the Nikto in toe. Whether or not he is successful in his escape they left to wonder, as they soar upwards and the walkway is lost from view.

OOC: Bane Malar rolled 16. Pilot Check.

"Found some!" Kelsi answers in reply to Stro'to, limping back from the medbay to meet him, two medpacs clutched in the hand not pressed to her stomach.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Stro'to, who had been bracing himself for the necessity of dipping into his own private supply, brightens considerably at the sight of these.

"Well found. Now, if we can just get your friend up onto the medbay bed..." Stro'to appears to take it for granted he'll get no help from either Xizran or Fennec with this task even if he asks, and with a wheeze begins lifting Delnan up, bracing against the wall for support.

Kelsi does her best to help Stro'to, leaning against the bed, eyes closed and panting hard once they have finished, looking as though she is close to fainting herself.

Chapter IV: Questions and Answers

Bane seems to know exactly what this means.

"I'll be down there to ascertain the damage as soon as we get clear of this dratted moon."

Stro'to gets the impression that by 'damage' he isn't referring to the injuries sustained by Dalnan.
