Episode Eighteen

Mace landed the Star Destroyer Invictus on the jungle floor, and the crew and wookiees began the month-long process of repairing the Nightjar. During their downtime Kass recovered 3200 credits from the Invictus, and learned about a kyber crystal mine on Canto Bight, and how Grand Mof Tolruk had been controlling Kashyyyk and pretending the war was on-going. He also trained with Mace Windu to learn how to deflect blaster fire. Conrad recovered two ID10 seeker droids and finished his lightsaber/blaster, while Jasper was able to find a combustion engine and fuel tank for a jet pack (dropping the cost to 10, 000 credits), and modified an electrospanner into a cattle prod on his rifle. Meanwhile, Jub-Jub learned how to fire a blaster. Naix was able to recover 18 bacta packs for the crew, and upgraded the Nightjar’s guns with turrets from the AT-ST.

As the crew prepared to leave Kashyyyk with Mace, the wookiees threw them a feast and rewarded the party with bowcasters and the Belt of Wrooks, which caused Kass to grow a beard. Conrad convinced the Mandalorians to stop off at nearby Zeltros (2 days away) to assassinate Mas Amedda for the Sith, despite protests from Kass and Mace. Unable to find Mas’s ship in orbit the Nightjar landed and Conrad and the Mandalorian went to a casino. Naix made a distraction and Conrad stole the purse from a Duros at a gaming table. However, the distraction drew the attention of the casino guards, and despite Conrad’s assurance that it was a simple mistake over a warrant, everyone involved was escorted to the security office for questioning. When the holo recording of the table was pulled it showed Conrad stealing the purse.
