Hot Coruscant Nights 9 - Finale

An unexpected run in with their old friend Jawa Jimmy proved that big things can come in small packages yet again

### Runtime

1:58:09

*Our heroes have a final showdown with Black Blaine and Quaker Oats. Then Jawa Jimmy and Sparky show up and everything goes crazy.*

## **Previously**

*Having escaped Eriadu Governor Parnot's prison and regained their possesions, the group made contact with New Republic Senator Cal Omas. Discovering that the infiltration of Clawdites into high levels of government has gone well beyond their expectations, the group is offered a role in the developing sting operation to bring it to an end.*

*Through some clever slicing and rather confusing communications a meeting is set with underground agent Merrick Kleiner, an informant that was previously met by Blaine and Tek as a distraction. After Droo breaks the ice with Merrick in what may be the worst drug deal of the decade, Blaine manages to convince the informant to assist the team in exchange for help making him disappear.*

*Just as it looks like the team may be in the clear, the front door to the bar opens, and in walk Syvar and Eristo*

## **Recap**

### **Setting the Stage**

Assessing the bar area as the group sees Eristo and Syvar enter, a familiar Jawa in negotiations with an Ewok at a nearby table. The two bounty hunters grab drinks at the bar while Katira looks on. Taking position for any potential hostilities, Blaine catches Jimmy’s eye and gives him a brief understanding of their predicament. Tek uses the force to push a drink across the bar, spilling it onto an unsuspecting patron. This unfortunately backfires and brings the bounty hunter’s attention squarely on Merrick Kleiner. As Eristo begins to cross the bar, J'mi manages to grab the hunter’s data pad unnoticed. Hoping to draw attention away, Droo jumps onto the stage and points at Syvar

> "*Syvar… Syvar… your shuttle, uh, lights are on… dad?*"
> ― Droo fumbling for a stage presence
>

Katira makes her way around the other side of the bar, getting behind the hunters, and pays J'mi 500cr for the stolen data pad. Meanwhile the bounty hunters take up separate positions and Eristo shouts over at Merrik that this was supposed to be a covert operation

### **Can We Get a Doctor?**

Katira requests that J'mi have Sparky take a look out in front of the bar, but nothing of any note is reported. Blaine jumps right into a booth with Syvar and attempts to convince him that the group is now working with Governor Parnot, and it would seem that the governor has set the bounty hunters up to be eliminated.. Syvar doesn’t quite understand why they shouldn’t just kill the team as they haven’t been informed of any such change in allegiances, and draws his blaster on Blaine.

As Eristo approaches the stage, Tek force pushes him into a nearby table. Eristo loudly passes gas as he stumbles into a patron. The patron, now soaked in his own drink, expresses his disdain but is told to shut his mouth forcibly as Eristo pulls out his blaster and turns to point toward Droo. Droo responds by making a plea for help from the stage with mild success.

> "*Hey, y’all… can we get a doctor? This guy is shitting his pants and now he’s trying to get me to leave with him!*"
> ― Droo Vos

J'mi walks back toward the Ewok that he was trying to make a sale with, attempting to calm her. Between her fear of the current bar situation and the wiles of J'mi, the two find themselves in the supply closet comforting one another. Bota attempts to dissuade the bounty hunters from their chosen course of action, but to no avail. Blaine gives a long dissertation on just how awesome he is and how crazy it would be to think that he could be killed in a bar, but Syvar is not impressed.

Merrik cracks under pressure and begins to sprint toward the rear exit to the bar, hoping to escape, but is quickly fired upon by Eristo. Tek turns toward the fleeing informant and force pushes Merrik into the ground. The blaster bolt misses high as Merrik face plants into the stage and defecates in his own pants. Droo fires off a shot at Eristo, stunning him. J'mi steps out of the closet, heads to the bar and calls Sparky in.

> "*All he does is shots and Ewoks!*"
> ― Droo observing Jawa Jimmy

Rummaging around in his robe after ordering another drink, J’mi produces a Heavy Blaster and fires at Syvar. The blaster bolt passes straight through the upper torso of Quaker Oats, vaporizing him, and J’mi is knocked back into the closet *with the Ewok yet again* by the weapon’s kickback.

Seeing an opening and still unhappy about having his drink spilled on him, a disgruntled patron walks over and fires on Black Blaine execution style. Droo invites the Mon Cal who had previously been on stage back up and the popular Tek Krodak hit, *Ugnaught Butter* begins playing. Katira hands the stolen data pad to Tek for review and looks over Eristo’s corpse, finding some credits and a hold-out blaster.

As Tek accesses the stolen data pad, the group finds:

* Information that Senator Parnot is heading to the Anoat system
* Images of the group, with a notably out of date image of Blaine
* Messages discussing tracking the group when they were at the Vahali Estate on Denon
* Messages about an impound order for the Jinxed Starhawk

> "*Look, if you’ve come here to fight me and my friends, you must have done a little research. So go through anything you’ve read about us. I’m friends with Jedi Knights, I’m friends with the head of the New Republic Bounty Hunters Guild. We helped liberate Kashyyyk. We fought in the battle of Bakura. We fought in the Battle of Hoth. We fought in the Battle of Endor. We helped defeat Thrawn. And you think you’re gonna shoot me in the face? I have a Desilijic scar branded on my face by Zorba the Hutt just before I killed him **with this sword that I have on my back**. And you think I’m going to be shot down at a bar?!*"
