Scheduled Downtime (a.k.a. Shopping!)

Dragool's got so many scars he can't find his face to shave (do Rhodians shave?)

Provence gets bored with mechanics and takes up brain surgery. Uses himself as first patient.

Rawr is wearing a cone to keep himself from gnawing at his legs.

What does this mean for our adventuring group? It means 4-6 weeks of R&R, along with the requisite shopping and training.

Episode III - Junkyard Juke

We arrive at Raxis Prime in fine form, and quickly pick up a Tie Fighter escort, asking us to hold stations. Dragool will have none of that, and the Rhodian punches it past them. A brief chase and combat ensues, leaving us even more battered. More Tie Fighters! This time Dragool's piloting fails us, and we have a major collision with space debris, leaving us on a crash course with the planet! During our uncontrolled descent, Rawr and G'unresh manage to shoot down our escort, and Dragool pulls a miracle out of his orifice to land us without a crash being involved. Some duck tape repairs let us take off again to the Scrap Heap Point rendezvous.

We see many Jawa, and a Rhodian directing us to a landing bay. We are greeted by Norta, who is Rheom's representative.

After some negotiations, Harisol and Cratala strike a bargain, and we are told Reom will be here in a couple days.

We do a bit of shopping:
+  2,000 deposit for successfully completing our mission (balance to follow with Reom)
-   2,500 credits (repairs
-   4,500 credits (jet pack for me)
+40,000 for the scout ship
- 18,000 for cybernetics for Rawr (couple of legs, plus enhancements)
-      350 for stun grenades
-      750 for frag grenades
- 20,000 for thermal detonator
-   1,000 for flame projector attachment
-      200 for sling for G'unresh's disruptor rifle

During some browsing, turns out that some of the "Jawa" were actually disguised Yi-Yar clan members! There are 6 Rhodian and 6 Salustan! A quick combat ensues, when we discover "they must be going after Reom!" (huh? he's here?) Surprise! He's in the sick bay!

There are 12 Trandoshans trying to get into the sick bay with explosives. The battle starts badly, with Dragool's list of critical hits soon exceeding his I.Q. and joining Provence in La-La Land. Just when Rawr, G'unresh and I were debating a tactical withdrawl, Reom opens the sick bay doors holding a thermal detonator! (We've got to get ourselves some of those!)

After G'unresh and I convince them all that we are not in league with the other Trandoshans, things settle down. Reom explains that others were also looking for the Sa Nalor, and that explains our competition on Cholganna.

In appreciation, he pays up for our original contract, and throws in a nice bonus.

+  8,000 credits to finish off our contract payment
+20,000 credit bonus for saving Reom (and maybe for the good contract performance)

He also manages to cut our bounties in half! Woohoo! I'm still a wanted lizard, but not as much as before. (That makes me sad because I feel as if I am not wanted)

We help with repairs on their corvette, but not much for our own ship. Incoming tie fighters! We clear them out with the help of both ships, then jump to a rendezvous, at Dantar's asteroid/station.

Total financial change: +22,700
