[Layne Hoshin]

She pulled out a datapad, and made some alterations to the data displayed on it. While she didn't think it was a particular risk, she didn't want the bartender getting a bit too much of a clue as to what she was after. So most of the truly interesting things were missing from the screen. But, hopefully it was enough to illustrate the area she was after. And hopefully even if the bartender wasn't the one to ask himself, he'd know someone else who might get her what she needed.

"I want to go to the place indicated here... but I'm having some trouble getting an exact location."

[Zhao Xhur]

Zhao silently listened to the exchange between Darius and Layne. He still couldn't figure out why he thought that he knew this young woman, but maybe he will remember her later. He was looking the same that Layne was, information. Usually the local drinking locale was the best to find.

'' I came here to help the people'' He shrugged. That was also his other objective.

[Dapper Dog]

The bartender looked at the Datapad and then said, “Well not familiar with that but if I had to guess I would reckon you’re probably looking at the Viridian Sea, just by the looks of that environment. Never been myself, hear it looks pretty enough with kilometer tall trees and all.”

[Layne Hoshin]

"Thank you, any chance you'd know someone who could help narrow it down further?"

[Dapper Dog]

"Well master Jedi I ain't a travel guide, but if you're looking maybe the Resistance has someone," the bartender replied.

[Layne Hoshin]

"Right, that makes sense. Thanks."

She probably should've gone straight to the resistence in the first place.

[Dapper Dog]

“Well you got me curiouis, what are you looking for padawan?” Darius asked.

“Probably dangerous to go alone, just saying.”

[Layne Hoshin]

Layne of course, was still Layne... even if the rough edges were being trimmed off. She wasn't about to spill the full beans to some random person, Jedi or not. Darius would no doubt be able to tell she was holding back.

"Just a lead I'm chasing," she said. "I've got a few people I could probably call on if need be once I find what I'm looking for though. But yeah, I have no doubt it'd be dangerous."

[Dapper Dog]

“Sounds like Jedi Knight business, spill it Resting Sith Face,” he responded.

[Layne Hoshin]

"Resting Sith face?"

Whatever

"This place is too public. Never know who might be listening."

[Dapper Dog]

“Fine, so where, you guys got an encampment or something? I saw lots of ships making touchdown so I figured you got a base or something?” he responded to the Jedi.

[Layne Hoshin]

"Wait, you didn't come here with the fleet?"

Sith instincts kicking in...

Layne tried to reach out into the force, to get a read on him, but the dark side flowed too strongly.

Sense emotions: 2eF 2 Dark Side

[Zhao Xhur]

'' Yes there is a republic encampment, not far. '' Zhao said, without giving him the exact coordinates. '' I will probably not spend much time there though, i prefer to stay around here in the field. Do you know anywhere where i can stay around here, Darius?''

[Dapper Dog]

Darius replied, “Like I said I was on pilgrimage, been here a few weeks and laid low until you folks started blowing things up and then I figured now was a good time to do what I could. Figured the Republic gave up on this place, glad to be wrong.”

He added with a smile, “I am just as surprised as you are.”

OOC: 2 Triumphs used, Darius is totally one of the Jedi. He is a trustworthy guy, trust him with your life... do it. Dark Side used to generate a Success.

Deception vs. Jedi (Zhao has Highest) + Force: 3eP+2eA+1eB+2eF+2eD+1eC 5 advantage, 2 Triumph, 2 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

[Layne Hoshin]

"Pilgrimage? Here?"

She was skeptical... but... he seemed legit enough.

"Well, huh. You should probably see someone at the camp about getting a cot anyhow. Safer that way."

[Zhao Xhur]

There was no reason to not trust this man or to not believe his story. He seemed like a good man, a bit like Zhao to be honest, maybe a bit too violent but still a good man.

[Dapper Dog]

“Not specifically to here just where the Force called me, I guess. You guys have a spare bed… that would be great, a good shower and a hot meal would be refreshing from bathing in a river and eating field rations,” Darius responded.

“How many Jedi are here?”

[Layne Hoshin]

"I don't know, I came on my own ship." she turned to the other Jedi present, as if expecting him to have an actual number.

[Zhao Xhur]

'' Nor do i, a bunch i guess?'' He shrugged. '' I saw a few on the ship that brought us here, but i really don't know actual numbers'' He said the truth.

[Dapper Dog]

"Well I am sure I will get a chance to meet them," he said with a smile.

[Zhao Xhur]

'' Well, you seem like a man that knows his way around here, Darius. Do you know anything that could be useful in order to kick the mandalorians out of this region?'' He asked, maybe he knew something interesting or heard something during his time here, Zhao thought.

[Dapper Dog]

"They have the power facility locked down, probably using it as a headquarters with all the security, might be worth a look," he responded.

[Layne Hoshin]

"Could be. Could be they're planning on blowing it up and putting the hurt on people if their position here weakens. What kind of security are we talking?"

[Dapper Dog]

"Mandalorians in large numbers upwards of fifty to a hundred probably, it was more than I cared to deal with for sure," he responded.

[Zhao Xhur]

'' Maybe, it could be interesting to go there and see what do we got. '' He said . '' Although, fifty to one hundred mandalorians will not be easy to fool into letting us in'' He adds.
