Klied enjoyed Dantooine very much. The environment was pleasant, the hunting was good, and the people were simple. The settlers here wanted much of what he wanted, to be left alone away from the choking masses of the inner rim to live simple and honest lives. They were usually pretty friendly too, so he was surprised when his casual stroll through the town center drew so many suspicious gazes. He paid them little mind though, keeping his own eyes forward as he approached the local hunting lodge to prepare for his next foray into the wild.
The building was large and luxurious, with comfortable furnishings, a burning fireplace, and the mounted heads of horned kath hounds and iriaz decorating the walls. Even a massive taxidermic brith hung from the ceiling above him. Klied began to wonder if he might not just spend the night here, seeing as night was quickly approaching. He saw a number of hunters both local and alien sitting around, talking, eating or drinking. But even they seemed somewhat somber.
His interest piqued, the Onderonian approached an Ithorian tending the bar. "What's eating everyone around here?" He asked curiously as he glanced at the downcast expressions around him. The Ithorian snorted.
"A surprisingly apt question friend." He replied. "We've been dealing with an infestation lately. Chances are any game you're looking for is already gone, and it seems we're on the menu too." He leaned forward. "Laigreks, a lot of them. They've been terrorizing the entire region. Farmers have abandoned their homesteads. Everyone that can is clearing out of town too." He looked through the windows before looking back at Klied. "You'd be wise to turn yourself around and get out before the sun goes down, or you'll be stuck here until morning." Klied turned and looked outside as well. The sun was setting, and the orange sky was quickly turning black.
"I don't think that's an option..." He murmured. Things were about to get interesting...
