Pre-bounty hunting event drinks!

[Logan Shivers]

Logan decides to stop by one of his favourite haunts for a refresher before the bounty hunting begins.

His forces are busily preparing for deployment to Carlac and so he has a few hours of peace before he needs to be anywhere.

The Hunters Lodge was looking quite empty so he made his way to a large table right by a window, sat down and waved over for service.  Outside, Comra slowly rotated, looking at peace.

"Fried Spice Grub, with a Sarlacc Kicker, oh, and a bottle of Pirate Rum."
"Coming right up sir."

Logan sat and enjoyed the Sarlacc Kicker while he waited for his meal, and hoped perhaps he may be joined by some of his buddies for a drink before they all headed out to Carlac.

[Enox La Bacca]

Returning from an initial scan of the city on Carlac, Enox headed to the Hunter's Lodge in Comra, which was just a short hypertrip away. It had become a popular spot for AMC military before deployment so he figured that people would be starting to gather with the upcoming mission at hand.

Upon walking in, he saw an old friend well positioned to scan the room seated at a large table by a window.

"Logan! May I join you?"

Before even waiting for the reply, Enox yells over to the bartender as he walks towards the large table, "I'll have a Aurilian Beer and a Grilled Dagobah Vine Snake."

[Logan Shivers]

"Enox! Sit, how did the recon on Carlac go, anything interesting?"

Logan grabs a shot glass from a small stack at his side, brought to him when the bottle of rum was, and pours Enox and himself a measure.

"Here, a toast to..... Well, anything you like!"

[Shri Bacca]

Shri is busy in a desert area a short ways away form the tavern simultaneously fighting 4 Corellian Sand Panthers, 2 groups of Womp Rats and a squad of marauders that tried to hijack his ship.

Once the blood ceases to flow, he will join the group for a Photon Fizzle.

[Ralph Repcon]

"Make sure there is Grilled Dagobah Vine Snake with Mags Fire Whiskey ready for me", said Ralph to the intercom.
"I'm off to the Hunters Lodge as soon as we exit hyper"

[Logan Shivers]

Logan's comms unit bleeped... what was this? A pre-order?!

sneaky sod... but hell, the more the merriyer! Logan ordered Ralph's food and drink, added another shot glass to the table in front of an empty chair and filled it, topping up his own and Enox's.

"This might just be a party yet!"

[Oquan Tangin Bacca]

Just then the doors to the tavern crash open and a voice from the entryway bellows out across the room.

“Logan! You cold blooded snake! You started without me!”

With that Oquan charges across the room and gestures to the bar keep who throws a bottle of Mags Fire Whiskey to him without a word between them being exchanged. Oquan catches the bottle in stride and bangs it down on the table in front of Logan.

Still standing, Oquan leans his hands on the table and postures himself across the table directly in front of Logan’s as Logan is pouring shots from his own bottle into the glasses he has set out before him.

With barely a notice nor a change in his expression or positioning, Logan cracks a slight smile and without even looking up says “it’s about time you got here Furball.”

[Adde Dima]

The door is thrown open and 4 Trandoshans enter with their black armor and their A280 strapped on their backs. They have mud on their armor and a few drops of dried blood on their boots. "I told you that these Bosph bandits cannot be trusted. They have no honor, and it is impossible to tell from their gaze if they are telling the truth." Adde Dima had been calling out to his elite guard. The four of them sat at the bar, arguing loudly about how much time a suspect should be allowed before opening fire.

At one point they fell silent and Adde saw his brother Logan and his Wookiee comrades. He stood up and walked over to the table with his bottle of Corellian Spice Rum. He put the bottle down hard on the table and saluted his comrades. "What a perfect coincidence! We all met at the bar! Cheers furry fellows!" He said as he filled his glass, raised it in the air and then waved it without disgust in one gulp.

"We were solving a problem with a group of Bosph bandits who were stealing the harvest from the peasants. We had already given them 3 chances, they had to be killed." The Trandoshan refilled his glass and looked at his companions with a smile that revealed his sharp teeth.

[Logan Shivers]

"Its about time you got here Furrball, and dont worry, I put all this on your tab."

Logan placed two glasses in fromt of each of them and filled thesecond with fire Whiskey. As he finished pouring into Enox's glass he looked up at a noise to see Adde coming in with some of his Elites. Without a word he pulled a third glass for each of them, and stacked up a row of three in front of an empty seat. He filled two of them with Pirate Rum and Fire Whiskey and waited.

"I think we are about to get another join our party folks"

Sure enough, Adde made his way over and as Logan had known he would, brought his own bottle of Spiced Rum from the bar. Logan grabbed it and poured into the third glass in front of each of them.

"Enox, Oquan, Adde.... Two furrballs and two properly cold blooded reptilians. Lets begin this gathering. I raise my glass in toast."

Logan raised the first shot glass,

"Here is to comrades lost"

He drains it, lifts the second,

"Here is to Friends gained."

He sinks the fire whiskey,

"And here is to Brothers returned"

He sinks the Spiced Rum.

Noticing that the others had followed suit for his toasts, he methodically began re-filling glassses.

Ralph would have some catching up to do when he arrived!!

"Adde... Brother... bandits dont deserve 3 chances, you are too generous. You warn once, then you deal with the problem."

[Adde Dima]

"You're right my scaly brother, it's those books about Jedi philosophy he gives me to read the Twi Lek pilot. Anyway, the problem is solved.... What is the reason for such a pleasant meeting?"

[Max Ameeno Bacca]

Before anyone could answer Adde's question, the group all instinctively turn their heads to the door as it again opens and a cloaked figure fills the entryway. All but Logan that is. The figure is shrouded in the ornate, hooded cloak of a Baron of the Celestial Kingdom Force Order and Logan had felt his presence well before the doors had opened.

"Proconsul! Please join us!" Logan says in low quiet voice that even some at the table could barely make out. The hooded figure immediately reacts, however, and throws back his hood revealing himself to be Proconsul Max Ameeno Baca. The Proconsul quietly replies, "Yes. Thank you. It would be my honor."

Making his way across the lodge he pauses in front of the table and says, "What a fine sight to see so many of AMC's finest gathered here! I have to say, however, that this gathering would raise many an eyebrow across the Galaxy. Trandoshan and Wookiee are rarely seen sharing drinks but I am filled with joy and pride that our Alliance has made AMC what it is today."

"As many of you may already be aware, the call to The Hunt has been heard and many are joining the cause. Leafar has become a hot bed of activity as the Bounty Hunter Guild's representatives have taken up residence in all of AMC's 558 Taverns on the planet. We will have to be vigilant to ensure that law and order prevails as more and more would-be hunters descent into our cities there, however."

"That said, let us raise a glass to our success!"

He produces a bottle from his cloak and pours glasses for all at the table.

"This, my friends, is Survapierre. It has both medicinal and intoxicating effects.

"To our health!"

[Logan Shivers]

If there is one thing Logan loves, it is a new drink to try! He accepted his glass and ddrained it after raising it to the toast.

"That many taverns huh?! Think I could find the time to pay them a visit, make sure all is well.... test some of the produce..."

Logan knows this is not truly possible, nor adviseable for somebody with his history of becoming involved with civil unrest of any sort whilst intoxicated, but he likes to wind his friends up, and the Proconsul best of all. He turns his attemtion back to Adde,

"The gathering my brother, is in the spirit of a group of warriors sharing a few drinks and a meal before going out on a hunt, a fine tradition that we should cultivate."

[Adde Dima]

As soon as Adde saw Max enter, he stood up and formed up, resting his hand on his forehead. As soon as the proconsul reached the table, Adde sat down again and gladly accepted the glass of Survapierre. Then he cheerfully toasted the possibility of making these meetings between comrades more often before going on a new mission.

"I have heard about some riots that we are not used to in Leafar. Clashes between gangs inside the bars to achieve the objectives to hunt. I was also planning to go for a ride with my black squad."

In one gulp he put the glass dry and set it back on the table. He took the bottle of Corellian Spiced Rum and refilled his glass.

[Enox La Bacca]

At the same time as Lieutenant Dima stood, Enox did as well and smartly saluted the Proconsul as he made his way across the room. Enox is often accused of being a stickler for protocol. That done, he relaxed again with his comrades and tucked into his food and drink while they all talked.

[Logan Shivers]

After crunching on an eyeball, Logan took another drink and then looked at those around him.

"So... friendly wager on the first to return a bounty?"

He took a credit chip out of his cloak and placed it in the middle of the table.

"£100,000 credits each?"

He smiled, knowing it would not be too rich a bet for anyone on the table, wanting the thrill more than the credits.
