Topic: Star Wars: Dark Masques
Subject: No worries


I wrote and posted that to keep people reading and interested, maybe it'll encourage the rest of us to do so in lags in other games.

Topic: Star Wars: Dark Masques
Subject: Little back story


The aim of this back story is to explain/describe what Arruna`dira is wearing and how she got to the ship.

The call to evacuate didn’t come at any good time, it only just reached Arruna`dira in time as she was barely awake and dressed only her night cloths. It is for these reasons she isn’t looking her best, she had stuffed a flight bag with some cloths, including her night cloths which went in later, a flight suite and an assortment of items left in the workshop that may or may not be hers.
Having filled the bag she pulled on a set of unisex overalls that did not flatter her and fastened a tool belt, probably a customers, round her hips and thrust into them her blaster and toolkit. Made her way down to the shop floor and grabbed her modified Y-Shaped Urban Patrol Speeder Bike to zoom off to the ship.
Arruna`dira was one of the last to board the ship, and she did so by sneaking round the side and hiding herself, her stuff and her speeder bike within a hanger bay just after a YT-1300 had just been finished being loaded on. Deciding it would be good to ensure her escape if any blaster head mandals followed the ship she spent a short wile trying to find a way to bypass the ships door to no avail, deciding to admit defeat she quickly hacked a droids memory and saw an Ithorian noble owned the un-modified trash. The noble would be fairly easy to find, she doubted there would be that many Ithorians with such an appearance on the ship, she didn’t look forward to meeting him and she was under quite a bit of stress from being evacuated so any conversation would probably not go too well.

Under the circumstances, she might try to remove a suite of it but it will most likely take too long.

She's interested in any other equipment such as weapons, miscellaneous equipment or credit chips so she'll be searching them as well.

Topic: Star Wars: Dark Masques
Subject: Don't hit the armour


Could you please give a description of the mandals equipment, armour, weaponry, that sort of stuff.

And yes, I am thinking of grabbing some. Not because I know how awesome it is but because of a basic law my character lives buy: If it's not needed by anyone it's anyone's for the taking. And a dead mandal is not going to need it's armour or weapons.

Subject: Don't hit the wookie


Arruna`dira would have rolled her eyes at the noble’s order but they were needed for aiming her shot, it was obvious that they should finish the injured yet that was the opposite of what he and his wookie pet were doing.

She then realised that mandal armour is rare and worth a fortune, or she might be able to do something with it, so she decided on the following action.
"Wookie, don't damage the armour!"

She then took aim at the crusader she had already shot and pulled the trigger, not because she thought him to be the biggest threat or out of following orders, her blaster was just already pointing at him.

She wasn't all to pleased with her previous shot, it wasn't very well aimed and was in her mind a lucky shot, she couldn't rely on luck, those that did usually ended up dead, usually in a horrific speeder bike crash racing herself.

She was impressed with Kate's weapons having never seen them in use but the other weapons, all apart from the lightsaber, were your bog standard, shop bought, c*** and needed improvements. She wondered why they had boarded, surely the safer option would be to blast them out the sky, there must be something they want on the ship.

(I do have precise shot and point blank shot so I can shoot into combat and should have the +1 included in my attack on top of the +1 from the improved accuracy modification on my blaster. I can shoot into combat and my overall attack bonus is +14)

Standing up quick Karn was inclined to watch but he had a feeling that what ever was happening was bad.

His gut feeling was almost aways right and so he quickly fanned the trigger and catch, the 4 bullets left in the gun left the barrel quickly. All heading for the 'things' heart.

He then reached down to his belt pouch to push some more lead into the revolver.

Topic: Star Wars: Dark Masques
Subject: idea


I know my character doesn't know that, Arruna`dira doesn't even know about the ships in the other hanger.

I was just throwing it open as something that might be suggested by the Jedi if he doesn't have any qualms about sending people to their deaths, of cause the Dr. won't give a poodoo if my character dies because Arruna`dira is poor, has no social standing and, as far as he knows, is useless.

Topic: Star Wars: Dark Masques
Subject: posted


I've posted up and included a SW swear, there's a link so you can look it up.

It would be an idea to fly the ambassadors ship as a decoy but it would be out of character for Arruna`dira to do so, unless phrased in a certain way (as a challenge and the best person to give it would be Dr. Awvoor Umwow).

But just before any one comes up with it in game, would it be an utter suicide mission? Does the ship have any weapons? And roughly how fast is it? (I take it that Ben would know this and Arruna`dira wouldn't so it won't affect her decision at all.)

Topic: Star Wars: Dark Masques
Subject: Firefight


Seeing the mandals down the corridor, she had no idea they were this close to the side of the ship, she draws a concealed blaster pistol from one of the larger pockets in her tool belt, it's a restricted weapon but she has a license for it, the 'upgrades' to it probaly are not.

The blaster it's self is an odd thing, a few screws in it's durasteel casing are a separate colour to the weapon and not all screw in fully like there the wrong size, the site on the pistol has been removed fully and replaced with what looks like a military scope. The end of the pistol has also been replaced, instead of the wide opening normal it's a continuous size with the rest of the barrel, who would bother to do so much to a bog standard blaster? What could it achieve?

"Everwhere I go"
She sighs, she know's that there not after her, hopefully, but she aways seems to attract trubble. Most of it's an occupational hazard but this time... Serves he right for sneaking on a ship of mooka jedi.

After choosing a target, a mandal crusader, she checks the weapons in lethal mode and pulls the trigger wishing she had striped the weapon on stun mode anyway.

(OOC: Just to clarify, Arruna`dira is drawing her weapon (move action), checking the stun setting is off (swift action) and then shooting (standard action). She's trying for the mandal crusader with the highest initiative. If you have found, and reconised, the insult to jedi then please look it up here http://blogs.starwars.com/abelgpena/5)

Subject: you two


Sorry, not a very good starting post and the speech doesn't really portray her normal character but she's a bit panicked now. When there safe you'll see a different side of her but she is likely to be rather short tempered on the YT-1300 when they escape, especially if she isn't piloting.

Admiral, when your character says:
and you two are welcome to come along


Are you refering to Arruna`dira and Kate or Benjamin and The Ambassador?

EDIT: My Arruna`dira is going to be very likely to be paying attention to how the ship is being flown so if you could give some comments about how the Gal'Pani is being piloted, including if it's being piloted by a droid and Arruna`dira would be able to tell.

Subject: A shifty Twi`lek


Nobels had always been trouble for Arruna`dira so this one on the ship was the first time she'd been glad to see one, particularly this one. When sneaking her speeder onto the ship she had came across a YT 13 hundred, a gift of an escape pod if things turned nasty, as they did, and had left the speeder by the gangway. She quickly retrieved some memory from a pit droid and found a hologram of the owner.

She'd only just found the owner once the Mandals boarded the ship, bantha crud, and had found a friend, Kate, in the process. She had been a regular visitor to the chop shop Arruna`dira had worked at so they knew each other, Arruna`dira knew the droid better then the droid knew she did. Just about to persuade her way onto the 13 hundred with Kate a 'well to do' and a jedi came down the corridor. Jedi were always bad news where she came from, yet every cloud had a silver lining; he looked single and was nice to look at as well.

Taken aback by the appearance of the jedi she almost forgot what she thought she had over heard them saying, she had done a lot of less then legal things in her life and it almost certainly showed in her body language. She faced the noble that owned the ship and mad a request.

"You have a ship. I saw you with it earlier, that’s our ticket out of here. Let us on and you'll see if we aren't good for it.

(OOC: I felt I had to pull the group together a bit so I included a bit about meeting Kate on the way to finding the noble, hope it doesn't offend anyone that I took that small liberty.
Arruna`dira is just a few inches shorter then Benjamin at about 5'9" ish, has an athletic build has blue skin and like most of her race wares very immodest clothing covering only her chest and what can be described as short shorts (only because I can't think of anything better this late). Her lekke reach about 3/4 the way down her back and has an interesting black tattoo in the middle of her lower back, will describe her properly in the Q&A soon)

As well as your plans to disrupt the dog peoples attacks I'd just like to add that if then do reach for their guns Karn has a readied an attack against each of them targeted for which ever hand of theirs reached for the guns.

Curses, that wasn't any better explained then on my actual post.

I was kinda assuming that he'd be on the ship but if not then I'll just take a computer check to hack the systems and get the ship started.

I hope he gets in contact with you soon.

Unfortunately that would be out of character, Karn would just like to kill them quickly and be done with it.

But he'll turn nastier as the game proceeds

Subject: Not a star trech player so that's OK


I guess it would have to be the first option but there is no way I'd be a crew member, I'm a mechanic at an illegal chop shop.

Re-routing power from weapons to the shields or engines would be my first choice but like you said, I'd have to be given access or have to hack the systems first and it would take a good length of time.

Most fighters don't have good hyperdrives so getting into hyperspace would be a top priority but to do that we'd need to get away from them.

How much of a power boost would it be to plug a speeder into the ships power grid or even Kate? (Joking, I wouldn't play Kate into the power grid)

Can you suggest what I would have to do to be allowed to tinker with the ships systems? You know, improve speed, transfer power to the rear shields or guns. Generally stuff that would help us survive an encounter with several, probably highly armed, fighters.

Waiting and observing no one seams to take any action, these two were dangerous but he couldn't stand for what they were doing.

He lent back in his chair and put his two very mucky boots on the table with loud thuds, following that he took the revolver out from under the table and rested it, whilst still holding it on his calf. And looked straight at the strange dog people
"Now just give the nasty dog people some ale Clementine then you can tell us bout the bastard suns o'bitches that have been terrorising this shit hole."

The fowl comments above are aimed at dog people and he will point this out if they say anything along the line of 'You better not be talking about us'

OOC: Sorry about the fowl language but it's what my character would say to the dog people to evoke them into something *wink wink*
Karn Tar has an attack readied against the dog men if one of them should draw there weapons, he'll shoot one shot at each of them and aim it at which ever of the hands they go to draw there weapons with. I am aware of the penalties it would incur.

Hey, at least I gave you access to a vocabulator early on. The fact that it wasn't programed for basic isn't my problem, you could have reprogrammed it.

On a different subject in the Star Wars Combine I have a BD-3000 droid named Anne, well, she's designated BD-3000-ZV-001 but I still call her Anne.

And Arruna`dira will be happy to keep switching your skills and traits, for a price. I'll include Kate in my character's history.
