Episode Twenty

Naix attempted to recruit the Mandalorian, Vanchu Ordo, to the reunification on Dxun; however, Vanchu declined, stating that she was on her own mission. When the crew showed no threat she deactivated the mines she had set in the alley and left. Conrad critiqued Naix’s flirting, and encouraged him to impress Vanchu in case they were soulmates. Meanwhile, Kass rejoined the crew at Gage’s behest to make sure that no one died or got arrested.

The crew passed a wealthy Hutt and his entourage of jawas; and Naix bumped into a small hooded figure but didn’t catch the creature’s face. A junk trader jawa rented the crew two speeder bikes for 1000 credits (plus 2000 credit deposit) for the day. The crew sped across the mud flats dodging acidic bubbles, when they were attacked by a massive grabworm! Jasper was swallowed by the creature, and the force users attacked from their bikes with lightsabers. Naix used his grappling hook to mount the grabworm and slashed at its eyes. Jasper managed to kill the grabworm from within by burning it with his flamethrower. Meanwhile, a small crowd, including Vanchu Ordo, cheered the crew on from a Hutt’s luxury yacht.

Two hours later the crew reached the bluffs where Jasper’s bounty was hauled up. Conrad scouted with his Marksman droid but it was shot down by a mercenary. When the crew attempted to circle around the complex, the mercenaries who were laying in wait attacked. The crew managed to kill enough of the mercenaries that the Nikto bounty fled towards the crew’s speeders. Conrad jumped from the roof but was unable to stop him. The remaining mercenaries began throwing grenades and downed the entire crew in the blast except for Naix and Jub-Jub. As the Nikto escaped across the mud flats on one of the speeders, Vanchu killed him with her sniper rifle from the Hutt’s yacht.
