Dreshdae (Open)

[infiltrator]

The Hunter's Jewel I came to rest on a landing platform in the lone settlement known as Dreshdae. Hasn't changed a bit, Talgo thought, walking into the town.

Talgo started looking for a suitable establishment to begin his "mission". Around the side of a mechanic's shop, a group of armed salvagers and treasure hunters had made a camp in the dead-ended alleyway. The "Korriban Kollecters", they called themselves. Brave and foolhardy men who attempt to sweep clean anything valuble from the countless Sith ruins that scour Korrian's surface.

The main problem for them is that the Sith have reestablished their physical presence on Korriban. Not surprisingly, the "Kollecters" have been routed from more than a handful of ruins, either by elaborate traps that appear too difficult to spring, or by Sith patrols, Dark Acolytes wandering the darkside infested ruins and tomb grounds, or just a wandering Sith anythng.


Wouldn't be surprised if they remembered me..., Talgo thought, passing by the corner of the shop.

"Talgo? Talgo is that you?"

The Mandalorian reconized the voice, the "Kollecters" leader, Gornan. The middle aged human male had been on Korriban since a team of historians came to the Sith tombworld. To their surprise and horror, the Sith were where what they thought was abandoned, ready for salvagers, treasure hunters, and history seekers alike to walk into their domain... and keep their secrets from the outside galaxy, until they viewed the time was right.

Gornan was the only survivor. He took up residence in a flophouse in Dreshdae, warning newcoming adventurers like himself about the Sith. Those who ignored him wandered out of town. They never came back. Those who listened to him stayed with him. As time went on his party grew. Talgo agreed with him on many things, including, "Going off alone into some of the darkest Sith territory alone without proper skills and gear is like covering yourself in juicy meat and jumping ino a pit of hungry quarra!"

Talgo turned to face Gornan and his gang. "Yes, its me Gornan. It has been awhile.", the bouny hunter said, aproaching them.

[[ooc: Okay. I take back all I've ever said about you. That last post was GOOD compaired to what you used to do. I remember when you first joined the site, I was about to murder myself after reading your writing. It's MUCH better now. Although you should still try and keep away from the tiny two sentence posts. Kudos.]]

((I think I finally get it. I use to rp on another site were any number of sentences could make an acceptable post. I see how it is very different here. Took me awhile, but I knew I'd get it sooner or later.))

"T'what do I owe a visit from my favorite Mandalorian?", Gornan asked Talgo with enthusiasm in his voice. The mandalorian took a moment to think before answering his long-time friend. "While I can say I do enjoy a reunion with old friends, I can't say it is the only reason I have returned to Korriban."

"I had a good feeling there was another reason. Can I ask what it is?"

"If you give me a soldier's promise."

"Well, as you know, I am not a Republic soldier anymore, but yes."

"I am considering going on a hunt.", Talgo said, plainly.

Gornan was still curious as to who was Talgo's latest target. So he asked, "After who? Another bounty I assume, an unfortunate one if thats the case."

"No... a Sith", Talgo corrected his friend's assuming.

Gorman paused for a moment. He has to be joking, the salvager thought, pondering his friend's answer.

"A Si-... a Sith?"

"Yes Gornan, that is what I said after all."

"Talgo? Have you been drinking too much juma?"

"No"

"Are you chewing spice again?!"

"I told you to keep that incident quiet!"

"Talgo, you can't lash out at one of the Sith on Korriban. Every last one of 'em here will be on you in seconds!"

"I have no intentions to strike one here. However, there is no better place to learn about them."

[infiltrator]

Gornan was very confused, worried, and curious. One of his long-time friends was possibly planning to go after a Sith. The salvager thought of a way his daily plan and his friend's objective could work to both of their advantage. Gornan made his suggestion, "You know, my team and I were planning on scouring the ruins we found near the Valley of Golg. Care to join us?"

Talgo thought for a moment. The Mandalorian finally decided, "Let's Move!"

[Antonus]

((Um? Are you Rping with yourself?))

[infiltrator]

((Yeah, since Talgo's allies are elsewhere))



-Later-


The Hunter's Jewel I landed back at Dreshdae. Gornan and his team walked out onto the landing pad. "Gornan", the salvager turned to Talgo upon hearing his name.

"Where will you go now?", the Mandalorian asked.

Gornan smiled and said, "Oh come now! You really think my team and I are done 'ere?"

Talgo smiled beneath his helmet visor. Gornan continued. "Of course, now my boys and I have some rich salvage. But all the same, there is much for up for grabs. If those Sith don't lock it up tight, then it must not be worth protectin' to them."

"Vey well Gornan. I am certain our paths will cross again in the future. Until then, farewell my good friend."

"Same to you Talgo, same to you. Tell me all about your next great hunt, and I'll tell you about our next great find!"

"Will do Gornan, will do."

Talgo walked back inside as the boarding ramp retracted and the doors closed behind him. The Hunter's Jewel I took off. Gornan and the "Korriban Kollecters" walked back into town.
