Out of the Hinterlands

Flash and I were asked to leave the Hinterlands by the Jedi Academy to attend a summit in Memorial City, and we did. I found it very confusing, as there was no mountain at the place called Memorial City, and therefore no summit. Instead there was a big meeting where many different tribes and clans of the humans and the bothans were represented. Reference was made as to how Flash and I spoke for the Hinterlands, but how can this be? The only voice I spoke with was my own. Much discussion was made about a recent crash in the southern pole region. It is assumed this crash was a starship of some kind, although this was disputed (it has only been six generations since our transport crashed on this planet, but some of the humans apparently have forgotten the existence of space travel). Of great concern was whether or not the Gotal Monarchy would claim the wreckage. Finally a group of twelve beings, Flash and myself included, was sent to try and claim the weckage before the Gotals.



We left on a ship (some sort of wooden construct) named the Foamrunner and captained by a bothan named Jessup. I am sharing a cabin with Flash, Dish - an ithorian from our clan who has become a Jedi, and Shem - Dish's human jedi companion. The first night there was some discussion as to whether or not to sail straight there and risk pirates and rough water, or take a secure route that would add 2 weeks to the trip. A vote was cast and we are going straight there.


Later that evening the ship was attacked by what Jessup called a "Sea Cat".

After Flash lost his footing, we engaged the creature. Flash, Jessup, Dish, and the group leader Laserus attacked along with 3 soldiers. The soldiers pointed metal tubes at the sea cat and made clicking noises that seemed to have no effect (they claimed later that their "powder" had gotten wet). My quarterstaff had plenty of effect though, and after Jessup, Laserus, and I softened it up we allowed Dish to finish the creature for his self esteem.

A few days later we docked at a place called Tourmaine, a hot smelly collection of human and bothan dwellings. At Dish's suggestion we left the ship (Flash, Dish, Shem, and I) for "shore leave" and wound up at a place that serves "sea cat sandwiches" and "bannana soda". I am fairly certain that the bannana soda was a poisoning attempt. Overhearing a conversation, Dish approached a suspicious human who offered to take us to Jethro, a local Jedi. We accepted. Dan, and his buddy Stan, took us to Jethro's house where Jethro drew a strange weapon called a "blaster" on Shem. A fight ensued. Jethro was a difficult opponent, and Shem was greviously wounded by Jethro's blaster (I had to heal him), but we were victorious and slew Jethro, Stan, and Dan.
