To Trust a Twi'lek

B'ura Ban turned out to be a fugitive twi'lek who offered to pay us to take him home, spinning a sob story the entire trip. His people were practically slave laborers in ryll mines on their home planet of Ryloth. They were horribly mistreated, and they were under the thumb of some awful thugs.

Ushotwasho was torn between knowing his own species as deceitful, but also having been a slave once himself and wishing to free his kin.

Once we landed on Ryloth, we took a speeder to deliver B'ura Ban to his home, but were quickly shot down near an abandoned mine.

He found ourselves in a firefight between a Gand who had been spying on us along with his minions. It was an intense battle and we nearly lost Brando Sando in the skirmish if it hadn't been for Quyn's ace medical skills.

We were able to overtake the enemy, but the cowardly Gand escaped.

Deciding he wasn't worth it for the time being, we entered the caves to see if there was anything worth looting. What we found surprised us: a case of ryll and a nest of some truly scary creatures that Elenga was determined to wake so that she could make one her pet.

We made it to our destination and were treated to two weeks of food, drink, and revelry. We also met a shady character when Brando Sando tried to find a dealer to buy his ryll. An ambitious chiss named Bromm, he was sick of running small time errands for the local crime lord and offered for us to keep the ryll, take the money he'd been given to make a purchase, and hold onto his weapons to prove he was trustworthy, all so that he could join our crew and make something of himself.

Our fun was interrupted in the middle of the night by some awfully loud thugs terrorizing the twi'leks. We took up arms, even Ushotwasho who was terribly hung over, and took these thugs on. One of them, a Trandoshan named Oak Aden, turned on his companions and decided to join us in locating their hideout in a local tavern so that we could take them down.

Ushotwasho had the irresponsibly brilliant idea to board an enormous tractor and ram into the tavern. We took them all down.

Bromm turned out to be a vicious fighter.

Nak turned out to want drinks and money.

Elenga made a good use of a frying pan.

Now, we just needed to know what the Gand was doing spying on us.

We were told by a mysterious person to attend a party and make nice with an arms dealer. We went to the party and in doing so we were not only able to purchase some new weapons for our friends on Ryloth and ourselves, we also made nice with some people claiming to be part of a growing rebellion and a couple of smugglers who promised they could get us into Teemo's palace. Oh, and Bromm made some moves on Quyn.

It was at this point that Elenga and Ley'li decided to part ways with our team permanently. Brando Sando had a personal crusade he needed to get to. Nak Aden wandered off, so we're not sure if we'll be seeing him again.

On the other hand, we found new team members in Eclipse, a shistavanen, and a togruta named Lishi.

We made it to Teemo's and, well, let's just say that his palace is ours now. In the middle of this insane fight, Lishi shot down a chandelier and crushed Teemo beneath it. We now own the ryll mines and other properties formerly owned by Teemo.

And... we found some information that would come in handy when it came to letting Jabba know about the death of his underling.
