Ask Looking for Trouble

[Ava Xeto]

“Great,” Ava replied to Syr. The relief was evident in her voice.

She watched Syr and laughed as he joked around with the Wookies. The Giant Pango had done really well.

In all the excitement of seemingly having defeated the Trandoshans, she nearly missed the one stirring on the floor. It aimed its blaster towards the younger Wookies.

“No!”

Reaching out in the force, she managed to pull the Trandoshan’s arm to the side, as they pulled the trigger. The blaster bolt flew through the air and grazed the shoulder of one of the older Wookies. It roared in pain, as it dropped to one knee.

Quickly assessing the situation, she could see that Syr was closer to the Trandoshan and better placed to take it out. “Syr, go get him!”

(OOC: 6/20 dice roll. Partial success to prevent fatal blaster shot on Wookie.)

The cry out. The blaster shot. The screams of the wookie younglings. Bor's instincts reared to life. With the younglings still clinging to his tail, Bors spun around and, without thought, raised his blade, activated it, and with all his might, threw it.

Such an action might not have always been a recommended course of action. The traditional blade length of a lightsaber was on average about 1.45 meters. Bor's blade, built to be large and heavy like its wielder and the Lightclubs of old, was about 3 meters long . Throwing such an active blade was almost as deadly to the user as it was to the target. And yet, Bors threw it, unable to come up with a better idea in the heat of the moment.

OOC: 8/20 roll

The blade itself slice part of Bor's arm,, giving a nasty burn cut through scale and flash alike. Bors didn't notice it at the moment, as his focus was all on the Trandoshan, who's chest was sliced lengthwise from the massive yellow blade. Even Bors had to flinch slightly as the body fell to the ground, its side peeling opposing ways like the skin of a fruit.

"Though art judged guilty!" Bors shouted, to both hide his own discomfort at such a sight and to boost the morale of the wookies around him. One of his hands went to his arm. Touching the tender flesh, he winced slightly.

"Gah! It seems I've yet some learning to do."

Ava watched as Syr’s blade flew through the air and then carved through the Trandoshan. Unfortunately, for the Giant Pango, his own blade had left a nasty cut on his arm.

“No, you did great Syr. We’ll get a medic to take a look at your arm. I’m sure they’ll patch it up in no time,” she told him, offering a reassuring smile.

After a call from Ava, other Jedi, and the Wookie authorities, were summoned. The surviving Trandoshans were taken to be imprisoned and their Wookie prisoners were brought home.

The spectre of Trandoshan slavers would probably always be a problem, but Ava and Syr had at least put an end to this particular operation.
