	IC: Halon, Shinkai Abyss "You alright?", Halon heard Ryn call out somewhere close by. By now, the Ubese had sunk to his knees, supporting himself with one hand while he gripped his wounded side with the other. An odd stray thought occurred to him at the moment: Detective Dravaal was no liar. Pushing it aside, he responded to Ryn. "I am just...stellar," he managed to spit out as picked the slugthrower up off the deck. The by now familiar sting of a blaster rifle was helping to distract him from the novel horror that was being speared. "I think I'll survive, anyway." Raising himself with a stifled grunt, he joined the Balosar's effort, watching the waters around the yacht for any signs of Zaron. He knew if he ever got his hands on the man, he wouldn't be gentle... Tag: Ryn -----signature----- Last Knight of the Acolytes of Revan "You don't eat a barve like that all at once!"

	Shinkai Abyss Leaving a small crimson trail on the deck, Halon moved to join his fellow agent as the two trained their weapons on the water, ready to open fire on Zaron as soon as he surfaced. The stun grenade was almost a complete surprise, arcing over the railing from somewhere near the water line. Zaron must have been almost flat against the hull of the ship, taking advantage of the dead angle that couldn't really be removed short of leaning over the railing. But fortunately, their inability to see him meant that he couldn't aim accurately at them either; the two agents were able to avoid the brunt of the blast. OOGM: Halon bleeds for 2 more points of damage. Salek gets the drop on you two this time, but at least you dodge enough not to get a direct hit. Halon takes 5 points of damage from the grenade, putting him at 74/124, Ryn takes 5 damage putting him at 85/90. -----signature----- CDG Guild Master Strange how one small thing can determine the fate of so many... especially if it's a twenty-sided die The Internet is SERIOUS BIZNESS!

	Markus Carfax Aspere Plunge Casino Markus stared at the pile of chips in front of him glumly. Not even his curiosity had been satisfied. Truly, gambling had been a terrible idea. He blamed Boz and Stent entirely for this ridiculous idea. "So," Mirana asked, "what do you plan on doing with your winnings?" "They will be distributed amongst the group, of course." Replied Markus, looking pointedly at Stent. "My colleague's remarkable luck must do some good. After all, it's not his own money he's gambling with."

	IC: Ryn Solass Shinkai Abyss Diving out of the way he felt the air leave him as the blast hit, he would be most sore by most acounts. "This...won't do." he grunted as he stood up tossing the small bomb to Halon and ran. Without another word he ran to the back of the boat to scoop up a rebreather and another bomb, and to jump in the water backwards. With any luck he would be able to use the rebreather and shoot the man responsible. Not that he had high hopes, but maybe in reality the man would at least be flushed out for Halon to deal with.

	Stent Kannat Aspere Plunge Casino Stent met Markus's look and curiously found himself feeling guilty for... winning? "That is true," Stent managed to draw out slowly, a slightly defensive tone in his voice. He wondered if Markus was putting on a display of the protective accountant or if he was truly expressing his feelings. He was thinking the latter. How odd. Stent had thought that Markus would have been the gambling type. "Which is why we are going to set aside a small amount meant only for entry into and use in the tournament, and leave the rest safe under your control." Stent smiled. "It will be the official 'vacation' part of our excursion. Think of the people that we will meet during the process. We have already met lovely Mirana here! We are bound to meet others just as interesting as her." His smile became a little more mischievous as he directed it towards Markus. "You may even find the love of your life." Stent hoped that Markus and Boz would catch on to his idea. Enrolling in a tournament would be a surefire way to meet many more people, and perhaps those associated with a particular criminal syndicate.

	IC: Halon, Shinkai Abyss Shaking off the last effects of the stun grenade, Halon witnessed Ryn's bold dive over the side of the yacht. Good luck, comrade. It was the height of bravery, to be sure, but extremely risky. In an attempt to buy his partner some precious seconds, he activated his own grenade, and, based off the trajectory of Zaron's own weapon, dropped it over the spot where Zaron must have been hiding. At the very least, Halon reasoned it would keep their enemy guessing just a bit longer.

	Aspere Plunge Casino "They will be distributed amongst the group, of course. My colleague's remarkable luck must do some good. After all, it's not his own money he's gambling with." "It wasn't my money I was gambling with, but that didn't stop you gentlemen from taking it," said Mirana with a smile, as the agents moved to the cashier station to cash in their chips. "Besides, anyone here has credits to spare." "That is true... Which is why we are going to set aside a small amount meant only for entry into and use in the tournament, and leave the rest safe under your control. It will be the official 'vacation' part of our excursion. Think of the people that we will meet during the process. We have already met lovely Mirana here! We are bound to meet others just as interesting as her... You may even find the love of your life." "That would be an astonishingly bad bet," said Mirana. "Never fall in love with a gambler. She'll leave you for Lady Luck at the first sign of her embrace." OOGM: Not counting the 9000 credits they started with, the agents gain a total of 22,000 credits. I assume it's to be going back into the account run by Markus, putting it at 142,000 credits? Shinkai Abyss For a few seconds there was relative silence as Ryn moved to the back of the ship and grabbed a rebreather before jumping into the ocean. Rebreather in hand, he sank into the ocean, a blaster bolt sizzling over his sinking head. He barely had time to register the presence of the humanoid in the thinsuit before Halon took action, dropping a grenade over the spot where Zaron must have been hiding. Unfortunately, that spot happened to be right next to the hull of the ship. The shockwave from the weapon shook the boat violently, blasting back up through the water to hit the Ubese agent before he could get out of the burst he had practically dropped at his feet. Below the surface and safely out of the blast radius, Ryn spotted something moving... on the other side of the ship. OOGM: Nice critical hit by Halon, dealing 30 points of damage to both himself and the ship. Well, the ship's hull means it only takes 20 points of damage, putting it at 80/100, while also providing Halon cover so he only takes 15 points of damage, putting him at 59/124. Also, Ryn didn't need to toss a grenade to Halon or scoop one up, since there were only two to begin with and each agent had one. -----signature----- CDG Guild Master Strange how one small thing can determine the fate of so many... especially if it's a twenty-sided die The Internet is SERIOUS BIZNESS!

	IC: Ryn Solass Shinkai Abyss As he reoriented himself he barely registered that a blast had nearly hit him, or that there was something else nearby. When he finally got his sea-bearings after a 'rocking of the boat', he noticed a figure on the other side of the vessel. Surfacing he threw his weapon as best he could where he thought the figure was moving to before dropping back under the water with both hands on the spear gun.

	Shinkai Abyss Following Halon's lead, Ryn releases his own grenade, lobbing it towards where he last saw their target. The throw was nearly dead on. The concussion grenade detonates, the shockwave slamming Zaron into the hull with a satisfying thud as the vessel once again shook violently. OOGM: Yet another critical. I'm surprised. This time, Ryn actually catches Zaron in the blast radius for 30 points of damage. Unfortunately, Zaron was using the ship's hull for cover, so it takes another 20 damage, putting it at 60/100 HP.

	Markus Carfax Aspere Plunge Casino "It wasn't my money I was gambling with, but that didn't stop you gentlemen from taking it," Mirana replied, remarkably calmly for someone who had just lost. They moved together to the cashier station. "Besides, anyone here has credits to spare." Before Markus could say anything, Stent spoke up. "That is true... Which is why we are going to set aside a small amount meant only for entry into and use in the tournament, and leave the rest safe under your control. It will be the official 'vacation' part of our excursion. Think of the people that we will meet during the process. We have already met lovely Mirana here! We are bound to meet others just as interesting as her... You may even find the love of your life." Markus scowled at Stent. Honestly, what was it about him that was so funny to the other agent? He was reminded of school back on Baar, and the children who'd found the way he kept to himself an invitation for all sorts of taunting. The agent had hoped that the world had gotten different as you grew up. It hadn't. "That would be an astonishingly bad bet," said Mirana, as Markus downloaded the winnings into the group account, setting aside a small portion for the tournament, just as Stent had suggested. "Never fall in love with a gambler. She'll leave you for Lady Luck at the first sign of her embrace." "Love is... outside of my purview for this trip." Carfax said stiffly, thinking of Sounil. "It is certainly not something I was hired to discuss with you, Kannat." Something Mirana had said had caught his attention. He turned to her. "You said you weren't using your own money- are you here on behalf of someone too?" [TAG Any] OOC: Apologies for my absence, I'm currently preparing for an exam.

	Stent Kannat Aspere Plunge Casino Stent let his smile die as he could tell that Markus did not appreciate his joke. It seemed that Markus was not much into acting or jovial conversation. He imagined that the human had quite a large repository of effective verbal barbs that could render most beings speechless. But Markus did touch on something of interest - honestly, he will probably out live them all with his attention to detail. Curious, Stent chimed in as well. "Yes, Mirana, what is it that you do? Striking out on your own as well, investors already in hand?"

	IC: Halon Shinkai Abyss Scrambling to his feet again, Halon managed to steady himself, beginning his retreat towards the stern of the vessel. Crouching down even as the yacht shook again, he sifted through the equipment they had brought along and found the medpac, intent on using it to treat his wounds...

	Aspere Plunge Casino "You said you weren't using your own money- are you here on behalf of someone too?" "Yes, Mirana, what is it that you do? Striking out on your own as well, investors already in hand?" "No need to read so much into it, I'm just one of the thousands of idle layabouts aboard this vessel whose sole redeeming quality is holding the affections of someone with enough credits to finance a life of leisure." Her voice was temporarily muted as she stepped out of the noise-dampening field surrounding the sabacc table. As the other agents left the now-empty table, she continued. "But then, what about you three? Your talk about collegues, group funds and excursions makes it sound as though you're here on business... How are you three related?" Shinkai Abyss Collecting himself, Halon rummaged through his possessions, retrieving the medpac. There was only a limited supply of bacta, bandage, synthflesh, coagulants and medicines- it was unlikely that he'd be able to fully recover from his injuries. This was doubly important given that if he returned to the Empress, excessive injuries would draw attention from the ship's staff that could only be described as unwanted. Below the surface of the water, Salek Zaron hadn't fully recovered from the effects of the grenade, firing a bolt at Ryn that once again went wide as the human shot through the water on some sort of back-mounted thruster system (which seemed to be still intact after the damage), moving to another hiding spot on the underside of his ship. OOGM: Halon finds the medpac, but it takes a full round to apply it, so he can't do it this post. Since he's below 1/2 HP, I'd assume that this would be an opportune time to use his Second Wind. Hit Points are an abstract measure of your ability to survive damage, both in terms of actually taking injuries, and parrying, dodging or rolling with attacks to minimize injury and turn it into only a grazing injury (with damage then representing either fatigue or your luck running out). Your Second Wind is usable once per day when you're below 1/2 HP, and sort of represents some sort of inner heroic drive to push past your injuries and/or fatigue from all these close calls. Eh, it's an RPG, expect the bizarre. Anyways, assuming Halon uses his Second Wind, it will restore 1/4 of his maximum HP rounded down (31 total), putting him at 90/124. He can still use the medpac next round to restore more HP on top of that. Fair warning though- to actually use the medpac to some degree require a DC 15 Treat Injury check. Failure means that the medpac is wasted with no HP regained because you aren't really sure how to treat the thing. Since none of you are actually trained medics, that means you simply rely on basic MI5 medical training, and roll 1d20+ half of your level (+6 for most of you), + your Wisdom modifier (+1 to +3). In Halon's case, that's a total of 1d20+8. However, you take a -5 penalty when treating your own injuries, because let's face it- you're pulling a spear out of your back. No matter how tough you think you are, it's still not that easy, and Black Jack you ain't. So odds are not great. -----signature----- CDG Guild Master Strange how one small thing can determine the fate of so many... especially if it's a twenty-sided die The Internet is SERIOUS BIZNESS!

	IC: Boz Boz had kept himself quiet, but agreed with Stent's reasoning that the more people in the tournament the better. He also found Markus' lack of usual snark to Stent's comment about love odd, obviously it stuck a nerve but it wasn't important to the mission as far as Boz was concerned. It was when Mirana asked what connected them that he jumped in. "It's all down to me my dear. My father got a little tired of me spending his money without "focus" or without "direction" or something petty like that. Anyway, I'm looking to set up a custom speeder firm back on Alderaan and for that I need investors. Mr Stent is here in an advisory position and My Hunt is.......my financial leash as it were. However, why just be business? I intend to enjoy myself on this little trip, as my entrance in the tournament will show." He gave a smile and took Mirana's hand gentlemanly. "Although I wouldn't be a good businessman if I didn't expand my resources. I don't suppose I could persuade you to help me in that respect could I?"
