Do You Want To Buy A Cliffhanger?

Session Three: A Cliffhanger with an actual cliff!

General Summary

I hear you, I hear you. Needs more excitement. And I've got just the thing - a cliffhanger!

• The group decides Niwadi should go for additional help to fix the ship.
• Niwadi, needing less sleep than the rest, speeds off to the factory-base only to find it has been attacked by Zesh Hawks.
• Niwadi gives a rather haphazard report and receives a rather haphazard report in return, but does get to borrow Rasec and Kopp to help finish the ship.
• Everyone else starts working on fixing the ship.
• Asha, Tor'vir, and Gridtok go hunting for a creature that stole a repulser from the ship while Niwadi, Amur, Rasec, and Kopp continue repairs.
• Asha, Tor'vir, and Gridtok fight dinkos of unusual size and recover lots of scrap metal. And the repulser coil.
• Asha receives a comm that there's a door in the mine. Images show a very odd door that is recognized as Rakatan.
• Despite a rusted hydrospanner as part of the landing gear, open source networking from a datapad pretending to be the new operating system, and the cockpit redesigned for Jawa comfort, the ship is flying and the guns work.
• They fly to town, then realize they can scout ahead for the tank and the new wave of bandits. They take off searching and find the bandit camp.
• Night is the best time to attack, so they do! The Jedi and Asha are dropped off to sneak ahead while Amur and Niwadi stay on the ship.
• As soon as Tor'vir, Gridtok, and Asha are in position, Niwadi flies the ship up and Amur shoots the tank, scaring the bandits awake!
• A fierce fight ensues. It takes a bit but Amur manages to destroy the tank.
• Niwadi and Amur land and join Gridtok, Asha, and Tor'vir on foot, fighting bandits and some strange tentacle felinoid that crawled out of the demolished tank.
• Tor'vir manages to kill the tentacle creature...

But several bandits are about to get away! Will our heroes be victorious?
See? Pretty good cliffhanger, eh?

Quotes

Gridtok: *rolls double ones*
