Mos Shuuta 5 - Teemo Bucks

Our heroes big gamble paid off... in Teemo Bucks

*Our heroes emerge from the family dungeon to come across Jawa Jimmy looting two R1 units. There is an awkward interaction with a wussy 7-foot fan of Tek's music outside of Jawa Jimmy's ship as Bota barters despite Teemo's attempt at blackmail. Droo, Katira and Tek win big (then are robbed with Teemo bucks) betting on Sparky as he destroys the protocol droid that viciously attacked one of Teemo's dancers. Sparky's bloodlust grows yet again and he decides to revel in his victory by attacking the injured dancer. Droo heroically attempts to save the dancer, and Tek's hibernation-trance-sense tingles and the Force dyad joins together to save the woman's life only to realize the dancer is a force user! They buy her from Teemo using 250,000 Teemo Bucks courteously of Tek.*

*Katira's range of emotion goes from empathy for a Wookie to murderous intent for a bounty hunter that she convinces to attempt to kill Bota (there are multiple stabbings involved and lots of blood followed by Teemo bucks raining on a bloody body). Tek strikes out big time with Shiri’ani - even after successfully Bogart-ing her. Blaine and Dengar continue their bromance and head out to prepare for their meeting with Gardula the Hutt. Our heroes leave the bar in shambles, only to find that Task has been waiting for far longer than he expected…*

## **Previously**

*Almost everything was going along smoothly when the group accepted an invitation to a gala hosted by the up and coming Teemo the Hutt. Bota Zi won the admiration of the room - and some credits for his associates - in his defeat of the bounty hunter Black Krrsantan while defending the aging Dengar. Tek got along amazingly with Shiri’ani, the Twi’lek majordomo to Lady Valarian. Droo added a pair of Dewbacks to her Droorassic Park menagerie, and helped R1-N60 on his path to stardom. Katira discovered one of Bota’s old acquaintances held a mean grudge, won big at sabacc, and kicked Figrin D’an out on his backside.*
*Feeling invincible, the group pressed their luck a little too far. Tek and Droo founds themselves unconscious in a Hutt prison, and a prison break ensued to rescue the parties force dyad from certain unpleasant repercussions. After an unexpected betrayal, and a well placed thermal detonator, the group managed to make their way back to the turbo lift. Together again, though a little worse for wear, they began the ride up and hoped that their old pal Jawa Jimmy hadn’t decided to leave them to their own devices.*

## **Recap**

### **An Easy Out**

Ascending on the lift from the lower sections of Teemo's Grand Estate, Katira asks if anyone has a med pac available to treat her wounds. Droo offers her med pac and her own assistance, bandaging Katira as Tek spends the time concentrating and then treating his own wounds from the Gamorrean guards. As the lift reaches its upper travel, the sound of metal scraping along the floor greets the disheveled group. Waiting for Sparky more than for the comrades that he left behind, Jawa Jimmy had taken a look around at the wreckage from the fight in the cargo receiving area with the time that he had to himself. Drawn to the two astromechs that Katira damaged while threatening the foreman, he was in the process of dragging the R1 units toward his ship on the landing platform outside as the lift arrives.

> "*Yeh, I just want to go hardcore on Teemo!*"
> ― Luke

> "*Alright… I regret my choice of words immediately*"
> ― Jordan

Realizing that they may have overstayed their welcome, Bota and Tek begin to contemplate a plan to slice through the locked down communications hub and out to the main entrance. Assuming that the rest of the party can come up with a plan on their own, Katira looks over the area and decides that she wouldn’t mind having a unique weapon, regardless of whether she will use it or not. Grabbing the wrench gun off the Zabrak foreman, she settles in to wait for further plans. Tek attempts to concentrate on his attempted security bypass, but is unable to settle with the current tension of the situation. As a result, he then fails to open the door into the communications hub as well.

Seeing Tek shake his head in frustration, Bota walks toward the landing platform and is surprised by a group of 5 guards blocking the path to Jimmy’s ship. The Dowutin leader of the group notices Bota Zi and tells him that they’ve been waiting for his arrival. Approaching, he pulls a holocommunicator from a pocket and an image of Teemo flickers into view. The Hutt states that there are two ways that he can do this, but he wants to end the day with the rights to Tek and Bota’s slave colony regardless. In exchange he offers to provide Bota with the location of the Salaktori Anchorage - the lost location of the Bounty Hunters’ Guild headquarters pre-Empire.

Though initially disbelieving the existence of the Anchorage at all, Bota tentatively agrees to the option as it seems the best way to end the accelerating conflict. Though Tek manages to resist the call from the dark side to simply force push the behemoth off the platform and escape, he can’t quite escape the desire to get in a cheap shot before they leave.

> "*I was hoping we were gonna be able to fight here, but…*"
> ― Dowutin Guard
>
>

> "*Oh, we can still fight. I have no problem shooting you.*"
> ― Bota Zi
>
>

> "*I mean, whatever the boss says.*"
> ― Dowutin Guard
>
>

> "*He’s a wuss!*"
> ― Tek from a safe distance
>
>

> "*Wait! Is that… Tek Krodak? Can I get your autograph?!*"
> ― Dowutin Guard
>

### **Bad Vibes**

While the rest of the group was gallivanting below, Blaine and Dengar had been scrambling to find a way to assist. Running into a locked door after receiving a call for help, the duo split up. Dengar decided to gain access to the ceiling and go *over* the door, and Blaine went straight to Teemo to create a diversion. After working through a short comedic routine, Blaine is forced to respond when the protocol droid that escaped the group in the cargo receiving area wanders into the fighting pit in the center of the estate. While blaster fire and prison breaks are reported from the lower areas, Blaine manages to convince Teemo to have his slave dancer enter the combat ring and fight the protocol droid for the crowd. Teemo happily agrees, and though the diversion didn’t keep the Hutt from knowing all about what happened underground it did keep him in good spirits to say the least.

The dancer enters the arena to a mixed review of cheers and boos, but quickly becomes a bigger spectacle than the smuggler turned Baron Administrator would have ever hoped for. The protocol droid goes to work on the unprepared dancer, beating her senseless. Watching his plan to cut off the alert from the droid crumble, Blaine attempts to have Teemo stop the fight, but the Hutt insists that they see how things play out. As a result, the poor girl is brought to the brink of death as the droid continues to beat her while she is down. It is during this spectacle that the group arrives at the cargo area on the turbo lift.

Visibly irritated after overhearing Bota’s exchange, Katira imposes herself on the Krodak groupie to ask what they’ll do with the wounded Wookiee, who she assumed was a slave forced to work against his will. The guard replies that he’s one of their best mechanics, and that they’ll have him treated at medical as soon as possible. Suddenly, at the door behind the group a cracking and straining of the structure can be heard overhead. Collapsing onto the ground in a pile of rubble, Dengar falls through the ceiling in a drunken haze. Unimpressed, and furious after finding that Teemo takes better care of his hired labor than her compatriots had for their slaved, Katira drags the body of a nearby guard to the door. Using his thumbprint, she unlocks the area and departs alone.

Ignoring the commotion behind her, Katira goes straight to the bar and flirts with the bartender for several free drinks. Noticing Barquin D'an standing nearby, she offers the Bith a drink in celebration of Figrin D'an having been removed from the premises. Barquin happily drinks to the turn of events, noting that his brother is an addict and a gambler who even managed to lose their last few credits in a game of sabacc earlier. This inspires Katira, who offers the musician a ride to Cloud City and the chance to perform there on his own. After the musician enthusiastically accepts, she heads to the entrance to find Figrin and give him the spice that she has kept on her person for the last year, hoping to deliver the coup de grace to the down on his luck musician.

### **Unexpected Turn of Events**

Also entering the throne room after delivering his new R1 droids to the *Tini Dancer*, Jawa Jimmy decides to officially make his presence known. Looking over at their host, he recognizes a female Jawa fanning the Hutt. Locking eyes, the servant simply mouths “help me” to Jimmy, drawing the mischievous Jawa toward her. Risking a few words in Jawaese, Jimmy asks why she is in the estate, but finds his advances spurned when she tells him that she is a slave and threatens him if he tries to take her job. Uninterested in helping someone who would be so rude, Jimmy turns around and heads toward the bar for a drink.
Feeling somewhat crestfallen after having to accept a questionable location in exchange for the Reltooine Asteroid Belt, Bota Zi begins to look for an opportunity to acquire a souvenir from Teemo on his way out. He convinces Jawa Jimmy to pit Sparky against the protocol droid that beat the dancer unconscious, winner keeps the loser’s droid

> "*He thinks his droid - who beat the SHIT out of a woman - in a moment that horrified everybody (including me) is going to beat your droid.*"
> ― Jordan
>
>

> "*Wait… So Sparky vs. the droid who hit that dancer?*"
> ― Droo
>
>

> "*Yeh*"
> ― Jordan
>
>

> "*Oh \*\*\*\* yeh! Cool. Good. 50,000cr on Sparky*"
> ― Droo
>
>

Teemo readily agrees to the bet, hoping for another spectacle from his previously useless droid. Bets flood in from the party in support of the murderous astromech at the maximum. Sparky takes an early lead, but is soon on even ground. In a somewhat unsurprising turn of events, Sparky finishes off his opponent but then goes on a rampage. He attacks the unconscious dancer on the ground and then charges at any nearby persons.

Worried that they’ll be forced out of the palace before they can recoup their bets, everyone hurries to collect their winnings only to find that they are being paid out in “Teemo Bucks”. Still furious that the people she calls friends owned a slave colony and sensing an opportunity, Katira turns to the bounty hunter Zardra.

> "*So, you gonna do this or what?*"
> ― Katira
>
>

> "*Yes. I’m finally going to kill Bota Zi!*"
> ― Zardra
>
>

Zardra draws her blaster and fires at Bota Zi, missing wide with her shot at the bounty hunter. Glad to see her plan work, Katira pulls out her vibro-dagger and stabs at the woman three times - hitting twice and mortally wounding her. Zardra collapses to the ground and begins coughing up blood. Bending down to look over her, Katira whispers “I told you **I** was going to kill him” and robs the dying woman blind, leaving her with 50,000 Teemo Bucks as a memory.

### **Teemo Bucks**

Tek hurries over to Zardra, bleeding out on the ground, and steals the 50,000 Teemo Bucks off her body (to the disdain of everyone that sees this happen). With 500,000 Teemo Bucks in hand, he approaches the Twi’lek Shiri'ani and gives her a speech about how much she will regret it if she doesn’t come with him and leave Tatooine now. Unimpressed, and a little creeped out by the repeated advances, she turns Krodak down and watches him walk away.

As everyone else has been creating a commotion, Droo hurried to the medical area to look in on the dancer clinging to life after having been attacked by two murderous droids. Seizing the opportunity she has been looking for ever since she began her Jedi training, she asks the woman if she will consent to being placed in a hibernation trance, and is assisted by a breathless Tek who rushed to the room - partially to hide the embarrassment of being refused by Shiri’ani, and partially having sensed Droo’s intent through the force. Together the dyad manages not only to stabilize the dancer, but actually restore her to health. In the process, Droo senses that the woman is *also* force sensitive.

With this revelation in hand, Droo decides that she simply cannot leave the girl to the life of a slave under Teemo. She approaches the Hutt as the throne room is still abuzz with talk of the droid battle and brutal murder of a guest earlier, and offers to buy the dancer’s freedom. Teemo claims that she was never a good dancer anyhow, and accepts 250,000 Teemo Bucks in exchange for her life. Tek requests that Droo allow him to pay - not because of any kind feelings, but mainly because he doesn’t want to carry around any Teemo Bucks in the future.

Wondering how else he can burn pretend money, Tek asks if Teemo has any Kowakian Lizard Monkeys for sale. Teemo responds that he has 50 more downstairs, and that he hates them, which inspires Droo to ship them to Droorassic Park, though she fails to follow through on the purchase. Jimmy steps in, asking if he can purchase the freedom of the Jawa female that is currently fanning Teemo.

> "*She’s a slave?! Oh, for \*\*\*\* sake let’s get that lady!*"
> ― Droo
>
>

Jimmy, hoping for a companion, buys the Jawa for 75,000 Teemo Bucks. Hoping for a welcoming embrace after paying for her freedom, Jimmy is quickly dismayed to find that she **despises** nearly everyone else, Jawas included. She rudely pushes past Jimmy and approaches Sparky with a smile, asking where she can go to get some rest before they leave.

> "*Thank you for NOTHING. Where can I sleep?*"
> ― Jimmy’s new Jawa "friend”
>
>

Deciding that they should leave now before things roll downhill again, Droo purchases shirts for everyone with some of her Teemo Bucks. Originally hoping to buy shirts that said “We watched a droid fight a droid and all we got were these stupid T-Shirts”, Droo hurried out before checking them, only to find that the shirts *actually* said “I pooped my pants at Teemo’s Palace”.

With Blaine and Dengar deciding to stay behind and enjoy themselves at Teemo’s Palace - and hopefully take care of the meeting set with Gardulla the Hutt - everyone boards the *Tini Dancer* to head out safely.
