Looking for trouble...

[Sly]

She nodded. "I'm not going for the sideshow, I like the main act." As this was said, Alyse lightly licked her upper lip, clearly teasing at the Asterion and Triv. "And by the way, you never asked..." She winked towards Asterion about the comment on her outfit altering. Turning back towards the group in the corner, she began to walk towards them while swaying her hips lightly to get the attention of some nearby drinkers. It was sad that all she had to do was wiggle her hips and show some skin to get a little notice around there. As she approached the table, she noticed one of the guards stand up, "Relax baby, I'm just here to help your boss win a little more than the card game." She playfully said this as she winked towards the armed man. The man turned his head towards the table looking for some sort of approval. "Well if you don't want me, I guess I can go find someone else to play with.." Alyse muttered, hoping to grab the attention of the target. Another puff of smoke flew above the table before the words "Let her in." pushed through the cloud. This was all she needed. Glancing back towards Asterion and Triv, hoping that they had taken notice and were readying up for a fight, she moved towards the table to see a nicely dressed man sitting with a few other players. Not everyone around the table was human, someone was even a creature she had never seen before, but they all played the same game. She quickly took notice that the target had a lot more gambling chips than the rest. "Wow, you really are a winner, Hun." she cheered, playfully giggling. This was child's play acting, it was clear that this man wasn't the brightest and she would probably have no problem getting close. "Mind if I scoot in nice and close? It's a little cold in here but I can see you are hot."

She licked her lips once more as the target gestured her towards him. Scooting in beside him, she slid her way over to him and moved her hand down to the top of his leg as she made eye contact with Asterion, hoping to signal that she was ready. Turning back to the man, she looked at him as she blew a kiss, "Don't mind me, I'm just here for entertainment."

 

[Versok]

"fair enough,guess I will have to find another way,then"
Said the zabrak as the other three answered his question,after that,it seemed like they had another target in mind,the zabrak would let it be and move to the table of his target,as far as he knew,his target was addicted to paazak,and actually a good one,so maybe the zabrak could lure him into a trap by using his addictions against him,he would sit in front of him on a table,the twilek at first would stare at him nervous,while moving his blaster inside his jacket,probably to pull out a blaster

"What...what do you want from me?"
"Relax,I just heard about ya,they say you are a good pazaak player,so,do you want to play?" Said the zabrak at the same time he pulled out a pazaak deck and putted it on his table,the twilek would stare him still nervous,it didn´t seem he believed him at all,and didn´t say anything else for a few seconds "I...I dont believe you,I saw you staring at me while talking to those three..." "I asked them if you were the real Bynder Daki,the know pazaak player around there,you see,I always search some challenges in my spare time,so,are you gonna believe me now,I know I look dangerous with the armor and all,but,as you can see,I am here just to drink and have fun" The twilek hesitated for a moment,but his addiction was stronger than his common sense,so he took out his pazaak deck "All right then,guess we can play a bit,wanna bet something?" The zabrak took out 50 credits and dropped them on the table"Sure,lets start with a small bet" The twilek nodded and did the same,starting a pazaak game

 

[Kori Buor]

There was a loud chortle from Asterion as he shook his head at Alyse, the woman's attempts to tease and rile the two men up proving to be amusing to the older man. "Careful there girl, you might get a boy or two a little excited with words like that." Watching as the platinum-haired woman began strutting over to the corner, the man grabbed his helmet and placed the bucket over his head, sealing the atmospherics locks and activating his HUD. Looking at the Bothan he motioned over to the smoke-filled former with a nod of his head. "I hope you're ready kid, this could get hairy real fast. I'm going to draw their attention, when I do sneak up behind them and use that knife like your life depends on it."

What the Mandalorian failed to mention was that if the Bothan failed to act, he would need to use that knife to defend himself from Asterion. With Alyse firmly a part of the group now, the man stood and made his way over to the group, changing his body language and posture to one who was clearly angry. Marching straight at the group one of the guards tried to intercept them, placing a deterring hand on his chest plate. "Get your hands off of me!" Asterion shouted as he pushed the guard back. Looking right at Alyse he pointed an almost accusatory finger at her. "And you! I see how it is! I buy you new clothes, jewelry, take you to beautiful places, and this is how you repay me? By hooking onto the first high roller when times get a little hard? Unbelievable! I should sell all your jewelry for this and find myself someone who's more faithful than you!"

Asterion hoped that by drawing enough attention to his drama the guards would be completely focused on him and miss the Bothan come up behind them and take a couple out before they realized it letting him and Alyse finish the job.

 

[Vinn Esper]

Vinn liked the scenery the planet of Tanaab offered. It was a stark contrast from that of Tattooine or Coruscant. The people were nice for the most part. They were simple farmers and small merchants. The air didn't have an unclean quality to it and breathing was, simply put, delightful. At first glance the planet seemed a utopia of peace and tranquility, but Vinn knew if you dig deep enough, you could find someone willing to pay you to kill someone else.

Vinn had received a tip while listening to the casual conversations of the residents regarding just such a place. Vinn opened the crude wooden door and with a single wiff of the murky air he knew he had come to the right place.

Vinn raised the hood of his robe and descended the stairs silently, stepping into the dimly lit bar below. The tension was palpable. A furry creature Vinn wasn't familiar with was staring towards a group of humanoids, obviously involved with them somehow. Several other groups were around the room, each one looking dangerous. A zebrak sat alone trying not to look like he was listening to the nearby humanoids.

Vinn pulled his rifle around from his back and checked the chamber, making sure one of his razor edged darts was ready to fire. After doing this he sat at a table alone and waited for a service person to attend to him.

 

[Salamandurrr]

As Alyse made her way into the group, Asterion told Triv to be ready. Triv's fur flared out slightly, and his eyes were locked on target. After a few seconds Asterion approached the group, and started yelling. Triv was intrigued because it seemed as if he was yelling at Alyse, but he realized it was his moment. He quickly hopped out of his seat and made his way around the bar. His long legs took massive strides as he sprinted. He made his way to the back of the group, and saw that all the guards were distracted with Asterion. He knew it was now or never. He pulled the blade out from his belt, and threw it. It was a move he practiced time and time again, but never at real people, and never with a real blade. the blade impacted the back of the first guards neck. Before he could scream out, Triv ripped the blade out and spun around, impacting guard number two in the chest. Looking up he sees the other two guards with their blasters trained at him. Triv falls to his knees and begs, "Please, please don't kill me, I have so much life left to live, I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just wanted some food." His hands were resting firmy towards his belt. "This kid isn't even worth our bullets, he's pathe-." In that moment Triv pulled out a tiny one shot blaster hidden beneath his belt and shot the guard. The blowback knocked him into the other guard, giving Triv enough time to grab the blade form the man next to him's chest and throwing it toward the final guard. It impact right between the eyes. In a matter of mere moments all the guards have fallen. "Am I worth keeping around yet." He gave slight chuckle as he looked over to Alyce and Asterion for what to do next.

 

[Vinn Esper]

"Hey," Vinn spoke up addressing the thing that had just murdered four people, "Did anybody ever tell you that it's impolite to start murdering people before everybody has a drink?"

The Staff had scurried up and out as a result of the sudden outbreak of violence that had just taken place. Most of the other patrons of this dim, scummy, scar on Tanaab had not yet chosen how to react to the recent development.

Vinn knew violence tended to be contagious and he put both his arms on the table palm down, using his finger tips to slowly draw out the hilt of the daggers concealed there.

 

[Sly]

As Asterion and Triv approached the group, Alyse gave their general direction a slight nod. She turned to the gambler she sat next to, being nearly on his lap made it really easy for a quick strike. She slid her hand onto her waistband as she grabbed a hold of her electroblade. "Baby... what's this..?" She said playfully as she slid her free hand onto the man's lap. As the gambler began to oogle over the groin contact Alyse quickly slammed her elbow into it, causing the man to buckle in pain. In one quick and swift motion, she swung her blade out and forced it directly into the main throat. She glanced over and saw that in all the commotion, Asterion and Triv had already taken down the guards. "Well that was fun!" She said as she smiled, giving her blade a twist to remove the final bit of life from their targets eyes. She removed the blade, wiping the blood off her blade.

She stepped up from the booth, looking over to Triv. "Keep the blade, kid. You did good." She glanced over at Asterion who seemed to be relieved to be done with his mission. "We probably should move elsewhere to lie low for a bit. Farmlands nearby look worth setting up camp."

 

[Kori Buor]

To his credit, the Bothan did what he was supposed to do and he did it quite well. Quickly, four of the guards were dispatched by the knife-wielding Bothan, leaving them relatively alone. That made Asterion quite happy as the guards had been completely distracted by his charade and were largely unawares. However, they seemed to have missed a guard who had gone to the bathroom to relieve his bladder. Seeing that the guard had appeared behind Triv from the entrance to the bathroom, Asterion pulled his blaster from the front of his hips and fired off a single shot which killed the guard instantly. Turning around he looked at his target and saw that Alyse had shoved a small blade into his throat. Nodding at her, the man smirked, "Not bad. Not bad at all. But you're probably right about getting out of here. One second, though."

Walking over to where the now dead man sat, Asterion pulled a small bad out of a pocket and scanned his palm print into it, then stepping back he snapped a quick picture of the dead man. "Let's get out of here." Gripping his pistol as he proceeded to walk out, his attention was drawn to a relatively small barabel. Rolling his eyes at the large reptile's indignation at their recent act, he simply snorted. "Mind your own business. C'mon kid, time to get out of here."

Waving to Alyse he marched out of the shady cantina and onto the city streets, his blaster pistol still in his hand. Looking around he glanced at the woman, "Got an idea of where to go?"

 

[Salamandurrr]

"I might know a place." Triv looked over and could sense skepticism from Alyse and Asterion. "Let me explain. You see, I tend to be very observant, and I noticed the setup of this town when I landed. Similar to the one I was raised on see. If I'm correct, there should be a sewer grate right outside of this building." Triv began up the stair, and turned and motioned for the others to follow. He made his way outside, and looked down, and sure enough he was correct. "So, we can take this sewer system to the outskirts of town, where we should be able to make our way to the small forest south of here." He looked to see if the others were willing to follow as he lifted the grate. "You guys coming?"

 

[Sly]

Alyse nodded. "Everyone seems to be moving about, clearly we drew some attention. Let's move." She would begin walking forward, turning to make sure Asterion was following. "Come with. You're my payment, but it's kind of nice to have someone along too. My ship isn't too far from here. We should set up camp for the night and then we can fly off this rock after some rest." She lightly smiled at Asterion as she said this, hoping he would continue to tag along.

 

[Salamandurrr]

Triv was expecting it to be drop, but he was also expecting a ladder. Below that grate sat a near 8 meter drop. He looked back up to Alyse and Asterion, who seemed like they were used to this pressure. How could they be so calm? He wondered if it was experience or just pure guts. "Anyone have any ideas on how to get down there?" He played out every possible scenario he could think of in his head. Jump: Potential for breaking his legs. Try to find a different path: Potential of drawing attention. He was scanning for anything to climb down on when out of the corner of his eye he saw a rope. He grabbed it, motioning for Asterion and Alyse to use it. " You guys go first, I might not be strong, but I can hold a rope long enough for you guys to get down. Once you get down there, I'll need to jump, please please catch me."

 

[Kori Buor]

There was a chuckle from Asterion as he looked at Alyse, a humorous smirk on his face and a devious twinkle in his eye. "Oh, I see, you're only keeping me around for the money. I see how it is. Geez, you would think killing with someone would merit you some sort of camaraderie!" The man flashed a wink at the woman before giving a confirming nod, "Yeah, that sounds like a good plan... Hopefully we'll be safe for the night then. I'd hate for my sleep to get interrupted by some search party..."

Looking at the Bothan, the Mandalorian nodded slightly, pondering the descent into the sewers. "You've got to be kidding me right now..." he sighed as he looked down the dark hole. As the kid got a line of rope, he waved him off. "Nah, I'm good." Pointing to his leg armor, Asterion dropped down into the hole and activated his jumpers, slowing his descent so he touched down nice and gently. Turning his helmet lamp on, he scanned the vicinity. "What a wonderful smell you've discovered! C'mon Alyse, your turn. I'll catch you!" He chortled a little as he held his arms out to catch the woman.

 

[Sly]

Alyse sighed, looking down the hole. "Hate to break it to you Hun but the last man that touched me died." She said jokingly as she jumped forward, landing into Asterions arms. She would look at him for a moment before standing to her feet. The sewer walls around them weren't horrid but they weren't homey either. The smell was at least bearable for some quick travel. She squinted as her eyes adjusted, looking up the entry hole. "Alright, between the two of us, someone will catch you. Haha." She laughed, waiting for Triv to jump.

 

[Salamandurrr]

Triv took a second to work up the guts, then he jumped, but he mistimed it, smacking his face on the edge of the entry, which led to landing about 4 feet away from the others... face first into the water. "*Gack* I hate water." He said as he got out as fast as he could.​

 

[Kori Buor]

Smiling up at the woman, Asterion had to laugh at her comment. "Didn't you know, darlin'? I've already died once. But I got bored and decided that living was much more interesting! I think I have some pretty decent chances!" The Mandalorian caught her easily in his open arms as he continued to laugh lightly, meeting her gaze for a moment before letting her drop to her own two feet. Looking back up, Asterion held his arms out. "You heard what the lady said, kid. Take the dive already!"

Triv jumped and for a moment Asterion stood in sheer wonder. How the kid managed to be off by that much astounded him. When he hit the water, the Mandalorian stared at him dumbfounded. Finally, when the surprise wore off, he shook his head. "Yeah, you're on your own there kid." Once Triv pulled himself out of the sewer water, he looked at the kid. "Look at it this way, the sooner we get into the sun the sooner you can dry off!" Turning around to Alyse he motioned, "Ladies first, after the guide of course."

 

[Sly]

Alyse couldn't help but laugh as Triv fell face first. She watched him sail right past Asterion and herself, straight down into the bricked sewers below. "Well that certainly was something." She listened to Asterion's attempt at chivalry, "Lead the way, Guide " The way she said the word gave off a sarcastic but playful sound. The tunnels were pretty dark but she was able to see enough to keep walking without falling over, the same couldn't be said for Triv however. After a while the smell had settled down and the air was actually breathable again. "Any idea how far we go before we realize that we're lost?"

 

[Salamandurrr]

"Ok, so if I'm correct, which I normally am, the exit is just up ahead." Once again he was correct... sort of. As they reached the mouth of the tunnel they were in, they came to another drop, about 20 meters. At the bottom was a lake. There was no avoiding the water this time around. "WATER?! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE MORE WATER?...I hate water..." Triv looked behind him, hopefully the others could think of another way, he stared into their faces, before realizing there was no other way. He turned around and looked over the ledge. "I'm a boss I'm a boss I'm a boss I'm a boss I'm a-" He jumped ahead, and prepared for a splash...

 

[Kori Buor]

Once they had reached the drop off, Asterion remained silent as Triv built up the courage to jump into the small lake at the bottom of the fall. He wasn't going to say anything yet, the man didn't want to break the Bothan's focus. Finally, the kid jumped and dived ahead, hitting the water hard and causing a large splash. Glancing at Alyse, the man in the Mandalorian armor smirked for a moment. "Well, I think the lake is a little too big for my jumpers to clear us all the way down there. But there looks like there is an bit of land down there we could land on with some creative thinking."

Pulling out his whipcord, he fired it into the top of the duracrete tunnel, and ensuring the line was secured, he offered an arm out to the woman. "When I reach the maximum length on this, I'll release it from my gauntlet and use my jumpers to break my fall. I'll just need you to hit the release button when I tell you to." Asterion pointed to the button which would release the cord and let them get to the ground. Once she had taken his arm, Asterion would jump off, trusting in his prosthetic arm to take the strain of the fall. As he jumped the line started unspooling, slowing their descent somewhat until it ran out. "Now!" He would shout, hoping Alyse would hit the button to detach the line so he could use his jumpers to slow the last bit of their descent and make it to the patch of green near the edge of the lake.

 

[Sly]

Alyse quickly slammed the button, hitting the ground with an "oof." The patchy area gave her some footing to move around, she searched for Triv who she assumed to be swimming. "You don't have the best of luck, do you?" She chuckled at the bothan.

 

[Salamandurrr]

The water engulfed Triv. He struggled for a moment before allowing himself to float to the top. Laying flat on his back, he spots a small footing of land, and on it he saw Asterion and Alyse, who he presumed had landed moments after him. He swam towards it and heard Alyse say something about his luck. "I consider myself lucky, I'm still alive aren't I. Even so, I don't believe luck has anything to do with the events in my life... by the way, have I mentioned, I hate water." He stayed in the water after arriving to the spot of land they were on. "But I'm not gonna bother getting out because I'm gonna end up back in here anyway. So, where's your ship Alyse?"
