Syric looks around to find the nearest pit boss or casino manager, his mind hatching a last ditch plan.

The tables in the casino are arranged in sets of 8. Each set of 8 is 2 tables by 4 tables. There is one pit boss for each set. He or she generally walks up and down between the tables. The nearest pit boss is watching some jubiliee tables. She is a middle aged Rodian.

"Excuse me miss, I need some assistance in seeing your boss. I have information about one Kunga Hutt that I believe his boss Sargo would be most interested in, but I must see him immediately. Time is of the essance, and I'm sure a beautiful green lady like yourself must have enough pull to help me out." Syric says with as much charm as he can muster in his current dry condition.

The Rodian looks up at the cameras and makes a few hand gestures. "Please wait here, Mr. Bultan will be with you shortly." She says turning her eyes back to her dealers hard at work.

A Pudgy Twi'lek comes up to you and says "Hello sir, I'm Mr Bultan the floor manager. I was instructed to come see you about something urgent. Do you want to come to my office?

"Excuse me Mr. Bultan," Syric starts as deferentialy as he can, "but I was informed one of Sargo's lieutenants happens to run this establishment, and as I have no way of contacting Sargo directly I have no other option but to bring this information here. Can you please take me to him? I'm sure you understand that information of this importance can not be divulged to just anyone. I'm sure your superiors would be very please with you for bringing me and the information I posess to them as quickly as possible. I have other obligations that no amount of reward credits can cause me to delay so I must see him now."

"I'm not sure you have the right place then. This casino is run by Parsec Gaming. Our Casino director is Mr. Eshan who has no ties to a Sargo that I'm aware of." Mr. Bultan says with a smile.

Dood's fur wrinkles at his forehead and he cocks his head to the side slightly.

"I never suggested that my oblong-headed friend was laying any sort of trap.

Mr. Eshan, I can certainly appreciate your vantage here. But I ask you to look at this from my perspective. If someone were to call you and ask you to bring 10,000c to an establishment you don't know, on a planet you've not spent much time on, would you not err on the side of caution?"

@Dood and So Leet
"Caution? Yes. Caution would be wise. You know what is also wise? Not messing with the Exchange." Eshan says angrily.

Mr. Eshan collects himself rubbing his eyes with his left hand.

"Okay. I'm going to be kind here. Given how much paler Mr. Leet has gotten, and the smell of wet fur coming from you I don't think you two idiots are lying. That said I can't have you messing with my casino. Am I being clear?"

Dood scans the room quickly for anything of value that might fit in his pockets.

"Listen friend, I'm in a hurry so I'm willing to give you a cut of the reward. The information I have is likely going to gain Mr. Eshan a lot of favor with Sargo. LIke I said, I have other obligations that are much more important than a few hundred thousand credits, but since I'm here I thought I'd come collect it. If you are unwilling to assist me, get a piece of the action for yourself and earn a favor from your boss, then so be it. I have just enough time left on this rock to go to the other casino where they may be more interested in what my information can do for you."

Dood looks Eshan in the eye.

"I think, sir, that your message has been delivered and understood. I am never one to stay past his welcome."

@Dood there is a bar with lots of rather expensive bottles of booze about 7 feet away from you. His desk has various ornate knicknacks.

@Dood and So Leet
"Okay here is what I'm going to do. Because I don't think you guys cheated me. AND because I can't have a player who can apparently print money working my casino, I am going to give you your 27,286cr Mr Leet. And I am going to share your" He motions at both of you "images with all Parsec Gaming establishments with the order to remove you from the premise on sight. If you attempt to enter another casino we run, and play a game I guarantee you will be sitting in front of me again, but it will not end well for you."

He hands So Leet a bag of credits. And instructs the security guards to escort you off the premise immediately. You get your weapons back, and your commlinks. You are escorted to the front door.

"You've wasted too much of my time already Mr. Bultan I'm leaving." Syric says as he catches the sight of So Leet's big head being escorted out.

Syric turns to catch up with So Leet and Dood.

Post by **Dood** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 9:28 pm

Once outside, Dood thanks the security guards and then turns to So Leet.

"Thank you for that. That was much more enjoyable than napping in my room." <-- Sarcasm

Dood smooths out his clothes.

"I understand that it must be hard to grok the concept of subtlety considering the omnipresent flag of attention that rests atop your shoulders, but perhaps in the future we can consider things other than the odds of one facet of what's going on around us."

Dood's fur is rippled severely at his brow.

Catching up to Dood and So Leet, Syric asks anxiously "What happened? Are you two ok? Did Sargo's lieutenant find out about us and Porky?

Dood doesn't take his eyes off of So Leet. His voice is still level and almost purring.

"Our tall friend here had a run of good luck in the casino - a little too good a run of luck, and drew some unwanted attention to us. As to ourselves and "Porky," no one is any worse for wear than they were before we went in there. However it may not stay that way if we linger in front of this establishment. I suggest we retire to the hotel."

Post by **Whiteness** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 11:51 pm

Syric looks at Dood..then looks at So Leet...

Without a word he turns around and walks the other way back to the hotel for an overdue rest.

Gets lead away by Dood and Syric clutching his credit chips closely.

Since I didn't get my big So Leet/Dood fight I guess I will have to hope it happens over breakfast.

Everyone goes to sleep. Syric sometime in the middle of the night starts dreaming of cocktails dancing in his head. And wakes up craving his usual waffles with whiskey flavored syrup served with bacon dipped in whiskey syrup, brandy poached eggs and a vodka/citrus blend. It is a brand new day.

Bulwark wakes up and pokes his head out of the shelter, "Yup, still a desert."
He heads out to round up some eggs.
Survival: 4+14= 18

After breakfast he packs up camp and heads into town. He clicks on the comlink to check in with the gang, "Hey guys, I'm headed over to the Dusty Bantha. Did I miss anything last night?"

Post by **Dood** » Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:40 am

Dood finishes packing his room, checks his weapons, and picks up his commlink.

"There's plenty to tell at the Bantha. Frankly, I could use a Bloody Stump."

Dood heads out to the Bantha.

Wailer wakes up refreshed and happy. After a short bout of stretching, he dresses and heads to the Bantha for breakfast and caf.

Klak wakes from what seemed like an awfully long night. He holds his head for a minute "Ughh, Fish Ale. I'm too sober for this hangover. Time to hit the Dusty Bantha. Maybe my benefactor for this room has provided some credit for ale. If so, I will partake and owe them quite the favor."

Klak steps out into the light only reeling back for a moment. He heads to the Bantha as fast as he can stumble.

Once inside he nods to Bran and doesn't bother any women, remembering there are no waitresses. He looks for his compatriots and takes a seat. Thinking to remember to point out how loved he was in this town that he had a free comfy bed the night before. Surely none of their stories of the night would top his.

Syric awakes with a dull ache behind his eys and a dry mouth, sits up and reaches for his jacket with a shakey, unsteady hand and the liquid gold tucked safely within. Pulling his flask out, before he even opens it, Syric feels a slight, warm glow start to spread throughout his body. The flask caught a ray of one of this planet's two suns and shone like liquid silver. One long, slow pull of the firey life juice later and Syric could already begin to feel the ache in his head abate. Sitting with a content smile on his face, he looks again at that wonderful, marvelous metal container...he noticed the engraved initials, J.B., and he remembered where the flask came from. The smile that he wore so easily a moment ago, hardened in an instant to a very grim look as his current mission filled his thoughts.

Hearing Bulwark on the commlink, Syric declines to respond and instead heads to the cantina to meet with the others.
