Assassins! - 7/7 session recap

The curtain rose on our intrepid heroes as they walked into The Pit, a rough tavern on the fringe world of Nervisa Mor.  On their way to the bar, Prak noticed some guys who looked out of place sitting in the corner.  Treb saw one of them look at a datapad on his table and then look at Prak.

After ordering a round of drinks, Treb elbowed Prak and said that there might be trouble.  Prak immediately slipped a stun grenade out of his pocket, and Treb said, "At least let me finish my drink."

They spoke for a minute with the bartender, Galen, about a job.  Someone out at Gilbreth's farm wanted a package delivered to Dock 7 at the spaceport with no Imperial entanglement.  The party would then collect the payment and deliver it back to Galen, where everyone would get their cut.  As they spoke, the party in the corner got up and started headed towards our heroes.  Treb noticed it, gulped down the last of his beer, and told Prak, "Now."

Prak tossed the stun grenade over his shoulder, and it detonated amongst the tables.  All three party members were caught in the blast, but it did very little damage.  A thug cried out, "Drogen has a message for you!" and swung a force axe at Prak, who turned and shot him in the chest.  Roopa likewise drew his blaster and shot another thug in the head.  Treb, meanwhile unslung his carbine, accidentally blew away a bottle of whiskey on the shelf, then switched his weapon to stun while avoiding the grapple attempts by two other thugs.

One of the barmaids, Zureen, moved in to attack Prak from the side, but he saw her and commanded her to surrender.  She dropped her vibrodagger and said, "How did you know?"  The bartender hurled a bottle (presumably of some cheap juice) into the face of one of Treb's assailants, but the fight ended pretty quickly under Prak's commanding presence.

The party collected the weapons of the dead and surrendered assassins, and took their credits to pay Galen for damages to the bar.  Prak and Treb both searched Zureen pretty thoroughly, but found no other weapons.  Treb dragged her outside while the party planned their next move.  She tried to seduce Treb, and pretended that she was just a barmaid, but he wasn't having any of it.  Eventually she broke free and made a run for it.  Roopa and Treb both missed, but they figured she wasn't important enough to chase down.

When the party asked, Prak said that Drogen was a Moff from another system, but he didn't know why he'd be gunning for him.

Prak made a deal with a local general store owner and bartered the blasters for some riding animals and supplies.  The party called their fourth companion, Mark Dawntreader, on the commlink and told him where they were headed.  Being a native, Mark gave them directions and said he'd meet them later on the trail.

A few clicks outside of town, Prak got shot out of the saddle by a sniper who turned out to be Zureen.  Roopa charged her position on his mount, but was also shot.  He dismounted and took cover behind it, and she shot it too.  Treb dismounted, and calmly started taking aimed shots at her.  After walking fire slowly up the rock she was hiding behind, he finally scored a critical hit, killing her instantly.  Grumbling about not being able to question her now, he searched her belongings and took her blaster rifle.  They found Prak behind his mount, alive but hurt.  After rounding up her mount, the party headed on down the road.

Not much further along, they heard the sound of mounted pursuit coming up fast.  They dismounted and immediately took shelter behind some rocks, leaving their riding beasts in the trail.  About ten mounted thugs rode up, saw Roopa aiming at them from his hiding place, and opened fire.  A major firefight erupted.  Prak was hit again, and he ended up taking cover for the remainder of the fight.  Roopa claimed 7 kills, Treb 2, and Prak 1.  While searching the bodies, they saw that two of the guys were thugs that had attacked them back in the bar.  "I think someone doesn't like you," was all that Treb said to Prak.
