D5EA Getting Her Unbored (Open - 2 Players)

[Snowflake]

That was an impressive beast! And its growls and gnarls were so poetic!

Maybe it was intruding memories from a long bygone past, maybe some sort of instinct, maybe the uncanny recognition of an equal of sorts in the white, fur-covered, savage beast.

Whatever the reason, Snowie seemed to lost in a reverie.

[Apollo]

As the Lady asked questions, the captain did his best to keep the chatter going pleasantly. He was embellishing his own career, as a travelling adventurer-captain of the galaxy (rather than smuggler), from a simple background where he knew he was meant for greater things, and of course defending the simple folks of Obroa-Skai from the evil Mandalorians.

Then the monster showed up to break the peace. Apollo looked at the beast, and was starting to reconsider his choices.

"Oh mah gawd..."

Nobody was moving fast today, but the beast's immense reach gave it the edge! Worse as its slewed to a halt it sent a wave of snow flying into snowflake's face, temporarily blinding him (triumph for free aim maneuver).

With another roar so loud it shakes the snow from nearby trees the beast pounces on snowflake. While its snarling maw is kept away by the shield its claws are able to scythe in and land some slashes!

[Apollo]

Apollo gaped for a moment as it was just snow and fur to see. "Ah, hm, my lady! Aim for it's... head!"

Drawing his gun with a flourish, he stepped close to Lady Tensefor.

--------
The beast, still a little confused and concussed by Snowflake launches itself back at the Gigorian, biting down hard on Snowflake's shoulder!

[Apollo]

It was... actually kind of intense to watch this go down, so Apollo holstered his weapon and got his pad out instead to capture the Space-Kodak moment. "Ok, excellent work holding the beautiful beast there, Snowflake. My lady, I will get a most excellent holo-picture of you as you make your next shot! You truly are a huntress without compare."

----------
Lady Tensefor turns and grins, one hand flashing a peace sign as Apollo takes the shot with the slavering monster charging in from the background. Just as its about to reach you she turns and fires smoothly. There's a gout of blood and Young Karrar slams into the snow and slides to a dead stop.

Looks like this was a successful hunt.

[Apollo]

"Spectacular, my lady! Simply splendid!" Apollo cheered and tucked the pad under his arm to applaud the efforts of the huntress. And the fluffy committee too of course for the assistance.

[Snowflake]

The hulking Gigoran sees the large beast dive to the ground and settle on the snow unmoving, with eyes filled with awe and respect. The large humanoid's eyes close for a moment, as if taking in the moment - or maybe even saying a quiet prayer. If anyone present could sense movements in the force, they could probably feel something happening there, extending from the Gigoran. A spreading wave of... respect? Longing? It was so ambiguous it would be hard to say - and the Gigoran itself was hardly aware of any of that happening, of course.

When the furry mountain's eyes open again, he first moves closer to the Young Karrar's body, then looks back at Apollo and the Lady with a smile.

"A strong one!", he says, simply. "That was fun!"

Of course it wasn't his fun that was important. But maybe he was not the only one to think so?

[GM Nicha]

"Indeed!" Lady Tensefor has a healthy flush to her cheeks as she rests her rifle against her shoulder. "Simply marvelous. And both of you, completely unflinching. I must say, you live up to your reputations."

Snowflake, the unconscious part of you reaching out with the force feels...sadness? Relief? Perhaps this creature was in pain, perhaps it was simply tired. But it had come at you, and you placed yourself between it and others. There's some peace in that.

"Well, perhaps a few more photos...Mr Committee I'm not sure if you can haul him all the way back to your lodge yourself, we might have to call for some more guides. And then a stiff tea around the fire and some celebration I should think! I'll come by to drop the credits off to your base in person...which I am sure one of you can direct me to."

The creature's pain coming to an end did bring some relief to Snowie, if he was able to actually feel that. The Gigoran's own waves of longing or something like that likely came from something else, though... but they faded as the Lady's words brought his attention to the task at hand.

"It's a real big one", the furry giant says, measuring up the creature. "Will do my best!", he then cheerfully adds as he gets under the Young Karrar's carcass and starts trying to figure out the best way to drag the catch back to the hunting lodge.

"Oh! The committee should probably keep out of the way for some more photos though?", he suddenly realizes, looking at Apollo and Lady Tensefor.

[Apollo]

"How could we flinch in your presence," Apollo winks at the pretty lady.

He waves off Snowflake's concern. "Pish-posh, we'll get some more pictures! With everyone, solo, and the huntress alone too if course! And after that, we can escort our lovely lady to the base, yes."

[GM Nicha]

"Oh yes, a few more with me. But I would also welcome a photo to with all of us. For the memories at least. Everyone will be asking about my brave companions and some photos will humour them rather well. Now, let's arrange ourselves just so."

You have no trouble being included in a further collection of photos and then transporting the beast's body back to the lodge where some rather stunned looking porters will move it inside. Lady Tensefor lets you know she'll come by the base in a day or two to drop off your hard earned credits. Is there anything either of you would like to say or do before you depart, several memories richer?

[Snowflake]

After the photo session and the job of bringing the Beast are done, but before the Lady leaves, Snowie will ask, half to her, half to other clansfolk in the room.

"With this mighty catch... we'll be having the barbie tomorrow, yes? Or later tonight?"

"You want to...eat it?" She blinks once. "Well, why not? I would love to experience some authentic Obroan cuisine. I shall bring some prepared meet with me to your base and we can dine on it together? This barbie sounds positively quaint."
