On
the run from the crime lord Teemo the Hutt the heroes
try to evade capture on the busy sun scorched streets of
Mos Shuuta. Mos Shuuta is a small town built on a high
plateau on the desert world of Tatooine. It is just past
second noon, the twin suns high in the sky. Spotting a
group of Gamorrean thugs, obviously working for Teemo
the Hutt, the group dodge into the nearby cantina.
A collection of aliens are sat at
scattered tables around the dimly lit drinking
establishment. A Twi’lek dances on the stage at the far
side of the cantina while music of the Model Nodes plays
over old speakers.
The heroes have little time to hide.
Oskara leaps the bar and hides in the cupboard, Pash
casually sits on a bar stool, flips the barkeep some
credits and starts chatting at the Nikto next to him.
41-Vex goes to the back of the cantina, stands next to
the wall and pretends to be a vending machine (really!).
Lowhhrick flounders about then just stands in the middle
of the cantina when the four Gamorreans enter.
Three Gamorreans attack Lowhhrick
while the fourth charges towards the droid. The cantina
crowd dive for cover as Lowhhrick swings his axe and
immediately cuts down the first Gamorrean. The thugs hit
back hard with the one pounding 41-Vex against the wall.
Pash, ignored by the thugs, manages to break away from
his riveting conversation with the Nikto, who is
apparently on holiday from Mos Eisly where he works for
Jabba the Hutt, swivels around on his chair and blasts
one of the Gamorreans. Oskara also joins the fight from
behind the bar.
The fight doesn’t last long, and soon the Gamorrean
thugs are unconscious. The Devronian barkeep is
impressed. He gives the group some advice,
GETOUT
OF TOWN! He tells them about
Trex’s ship, and also that it needs a Hyperdrive
Ignition Switch. He then kicks the group from his
cantina.
The heroes head across to the junk
shop. Pash tries to bluff the owner Vorn that he’s
collecting the part for Trex, but he is not believed.
Fortunately Vorn isn’t offended by Pash’s bluff [failed
roll but with Advantages]. Vorn says he doesn’t want to
upset Trex. But when the group offer him more money
Vorn’s greed soon gets the better of him and he sells
them the part.
The group head back into the busy,
and very hot, streets of Mos Shuuta. Not sure which
docking bay Trex’s ship is in they head for Docking
Control. Several times they spot some of Teemo the
Hutt’s thugs but manage to evade them before reaching
Docking Control. Pash and 41-Vex bluff their way in to
Docking Control, but once inside Overseer Brynn is
resolute and has them removed from the building. But
this is not before they see an incoming Imperial Shuttle
bound coming in for landing. Learning where that ship is
landing they now know where Trex is and head off.
More of Teemo’s thugs are evaded
meaning they have to take a winding route to the docking
bay. Before getting to the bay they decide to check out
the warehouses. 41-Vex is able to break into the
warehouse and [due to many Advantages] doesn’t sound any
alarms. The group have a look around the warehouse which
has many crates all stacked up. Then they find a cage,
inside which is a young Togruta girl, probably around 17
years old. She is thin and huddles in a corner. Pash
gets her to speak. Her name in Koo Ki, and she explains
that her parents starship was attacked by pirates and
she was later sold to Trex as a slave. 41-Vex easily
opens the cage, but this time [several Threats] sounds
the alarm. Two Security Droids hover around the corner
and open fire. The group dispatch the Security Droids
quickly and decide to get to the docking bay quickly.
Unfortunately for the heroes Teemo
the Hutt has made a deal with Imperial Lt. Herkin, who
has sent two patrols of Stormtroopers after them!
A firefight breaks. Citizens of Mos Shuuta dive for
cover, as does Koo Ki. The firefight goes well for the
group and they manage to cut down both groups of
Stormtroopers. Realising they really do need to leave
now they turn towards the Docking bay where they are
stopped by Trex’s Security Droids.
Pash, Oskara, Lowhhrick, 41-VEX
and Koo Ki stand before Docking Bay Aurek. The burning
twin suns of the desert planet of Tatooine still high in
sky. Two security droids stand guard outside the docking
bay as the heroes approach.
“We’ve come to repair the ship,” says Pash. [Deceit:
Success]
“Roger, roger,” acknowledge the droids, “Master Trex is
inside.”
The group enter the docking bay, 41-VEX
approaches the computer console and tries to lock the
blast door locking out the security droid [Computers:
Failure with advantages]. The door doesn’t close but no
one is suspicious… yet.
Trex walks down the ramp of the Krayt Fang, a battered
old YT-1300 light freighter, flanked by two more
Security Droids. Pash bluffs Trex that Vorn has sent him
to fix the ship [Deceit vs Purple, Purple, Red:
Success].
All but 41-Vex board the Krayt Fang
and head for engineering. Oskara makes the repair roll
but makes sure it won’t actually work yet, just in case
Trex tries to take off. Meanwhile 41-Vex tries to
remotely slice the Docking Control computer system to
release the docking clamps [Difficult but he makes the
roll].
Back aboard the Kryat Fang Trex is
suspicious. Pash manages to bluff him a couple of times
with Trex purposely trying to provoke Lowhhrick (Trandoshans
being the mortal enemy of the Wookiees). Then Trex
notices Kook Ki, the freed slave, and blasters are
drawn.
The fight is quick and bloody. Lowhhrick is injured but
Trex and both security droids are taken down. Not so
much luck for 41-Vex who is disabled by the other
security droids. Lowhhrick heads to the cockpit to ready
the ship for take-off. Pash and Oskara rush to help
41-Vex. Oskara blasts the nearer droid, the other is
still on the outside of the docking bay. Pash shoots
[misses with 3 Advantages] misses the droid but his the
door switch, the blast door slams shut.
The ship is released and 41-Vex
dragged aboard and repaired.
The ship is working but will need to
get clear of Tatooine before they can jump to
Hyperspace. Unfortunately for the heroes Teemo the Hutt
has powerful friends, namely Lt. Herkin of the Empire.
Suddenly the Krayt Fang is rocked as it is hit by laser
fire. Two Imperial TIE
fighters scream past. Lowhhrick and Oskara man the guns
as Pash starts taking evasive action.
The action would be very much similar
to this;
The Krayt Fang is hit again but the
TIEs are quickly dispatched only for a second wave to
attack. Pash expertly evades the TIE
fighters and Oskara and Lowhhrick are able to shoot them
down just as the Krayt Fang is clear of the planet [lots
of use of the DESTINYPOINTS and the final
TIE pilot roll Threats with
Dispair on his final roll leaving him a sitting target
as he lost control of his ship]
Pash hits the switch, the ship
lurches and there is a blur of stars as the Krayt Fang
enters hyperspace having Escaped from Mos Shuuta.
