Scene #1 - Felucian Village
- Village carved out of mushrooms, old and petrified
- Felucians squatting around fire in center of town - turn to look at us
- Kyp notices a human in the village - stringy hair, rugged weather worn appearance
- Riet and Kyp decide to make a diplomatic overture - almost no reaction until we're in the middle of the village, they don't make any move to stop us, human takes interest
- human grabs Riet, drags him into a hut on the edge of village - tiny hut - Felucian eating something in the corner
- human apparently happy we're anti-Imperial - Vazis Mandrake - was a commander for the separatists during the Clone Wars, unit wiped out by Clones, has been living off the land until he found this village - Imperials have been tormenting the Felucians
- summon the rest of the party
- Felucians seem unflappable, mostly just curious to see us
- introductions - we share some dinner
- Vazis shares intel - about 3 hrs fromm the village, a sizable Imp force in a two-story building, troopers on speeder recon, he's worried that they'll overrun the village - AT-ST
- Felucians call it the "Vanishing Place" - patrols don't usually make it this far out, but they are expanding their routes - Shamans visited, but came back terrified and emotionally scarred
- Bunk in for the night - Riet, Valee and Skarr are in for medical attention
- Dort sees a cluster of huts, with crying coming it - walks in, no weapons, Daken handles his blaster - possibly children, making a wailing noise and thrashing around - sickly gray skin (not the normal blue) atrophied muscles
- few days, incubation 1-2 weeks, 10-15 have died - scouts are the usual ones infected, doesn't seem to be contagious - notice a small injection site, stay up all night to treat it - seems to make a difference, they are now resting comfortably - Felucians seem pleased with our efforts
- the surgery on the kids seems intentional - possible that the detention center is something more - a research station of some sort?
- Vazis introduces us to the chief - takes us to the special hut - elderly Felucian, shrunken tendrils, withered/blackened arm, Vazis talks to him for a while, then they come up - chief sniffs at us, lingers on Daken (who hears whispers in his head), pauses again at Kyp and Dort (also hears whispers) - mutters to Vazis, asks us to reiterate our mission, Chief gives us his blessing, offers to send a scout with us - wants to talk to the Force guys in private - Riet, Valee, Skarr head out to do breakfast
- Vazis stays to translate - chief is curious about the force powers - Felucians are all force sensitive, especially the shamans - asks to share secrets - they learn Force Blast, teach him in return, agrees to train the more after the mission
- Vazis asks for demolitions experts, shows us a big explosive charge - probably big enough to destroy the comms array - we agree
Scene #2 - About to leave for the detention center
- talking to Vazis, overhear scout trooper, he turns around and heads back into the jungle - Vazis loans us some Kybucks - Kyp tears off under Force power, almost catches
- no one really seems to be capable of riding, though Dort takes masterful control of his mount, and tears off after the speeder - Daken and Riet nearly get bucked off - massive fungal swamp with large puddles and lots of splashing, we can hardly see anything more than a short distance away
- Valee manages a masterful ride check, pulls within long range, snipes trooper for 17
- Skarr gets a little sidetracked, Riet/Valee dive into undergrowth bouncing through rough terrain, Daken, Dort, and Kyp charge through a hollowed-out tree, underground tunnels zipping through hanging moss and occasional shafts of light - Daken runs into hanging roots and falls off the Kybuck, taking 1 damage
