Sish fired at the Felucian with his carbine, but missed the quick moving native. "Damn it, they're faster than I thought."

The Given, surprized at the attack, dropped his datapad in a flash; normally he'd have ran, but the instinct to give himself some covering fire made him act unconciously. his hand reached for the blaster, and fired blindly and wildly. Sadly, his luck stuck with him as the plasma buried itself in a creature's body, knocking it down in a steaming pile of slag.
Breathing heavily from shock, Blaise slowly came to his senses.

Nolaa fired at the attacking Felucian, blasting a hole through its torso with her stolen Imperial Carbine.
Blaster still raised, she moves back to close up with the rest of the party.
With one Felucian remaining, Roth fires on it with his pistol, blasting it in the head. The creature drops to Ember's feet and calm descends on the scene.
“Peace! Please, stop fighting!” A voice calls out, dashing the silence. A middle aged human with a scarred face and gray stringy hair stumbles out of the brush, hands empty and raised. "This misunderstanding has lead to enough bloodshed!"

(assuming anyone can respond to the newcomer, otherwise just ignore)
Blaise, still jumpy from ambush, turned a slightly shaky blaster towards the newcomer, before taking a deep breath and steadying himself. He didn't like being so jumpy, but he needed to calm himself down first.
"Who're you?"

Ember jumps back away from the corps dropping into the water at her feet. She looks up for more of the attacking beings, but when none are seen she relaxes, only to snap her weapon back up to point the business end in the direction of the an old man entering the clearing. The fact that his hands were raised caused Ember to stay her hand and not fire her weapon; instead, she kept it leveled at the grey haired man.

"I'm Vazus Mandrake." The man said as he stepped up. "A local Kybuck Rancher. And unlike these poor scouts you blasted, I can see you're not with the Empire. The Natives dont like 'em at all, but they have a hard time separating Imperials from just Offworlders. After what the Gossam colonists put 'em through I dont blame 'em. Good thing I showed up too. Had I not come along you would have riled up a whole spacewasp nest of trouble. See, you're on the outskirts of a Felucian Village."

Sish lowered his blaster at the newcomer only slightly as he explained himself. The T'doshok still wary of his surroundings after being caught off guard by the natives.

The Givin lowered his weapon, but didn't holster it. Looking at Roth, he took the charge to conduct the discussion himself, now that his confidence was back in the arena. Yet another human who didn't know how to introduce himself. Blaise was annoyed, but not surprized.
"That explains the attack, but unless you have some reason to halt us, we'll be moving along. Your villiagers will not have to deal with us anymore, something I'm sure they'll more than appreciate."
If only we could hire these things for numerical superiority, but the odds of them wanting to are slim to none.

“Yeah, sorry about blasting your pals and thanks for the warning old man, we don’t want any trouble. We’ll try and find a way around.” Ember moved over to the Givin. “You got the map?” she asked

"Here," Blaise said, handing his datapad over to the female. He didn't care much for the fleshy organics, like humans or zeltrons, like most Givin. Still, he tried to hide that fact as much as possible. "Just updated it with projected locations of other settlements. If we entered into Felucian territory, one can only guess there are more tribes in the area."

“Right, thanks” She said, talking the datapad.
“Hay, old man.” She called out. “Come here and point out here the village if you would be so kind. I’d like to avoid anymore unnecessary fighting if possible.”

"Hold on hold on hold on." Vazus said. "First off what're you lot all doing out here anyway? This is the Felucian outback afterall. Not a place to go for a hike."

"I said the same thing," Blaise muttered to himself, thinking about how many more times someone might say that before the night was to come.

“Easy old man, don’t have a heart attack on us.” Ember holsters her side arm and walks over to the old man. “We’re sort ‘a lost and I was hopping that you could give us some directions out of here.” She speaks softly to him, bending forwards ever so slightly at the waist. “I don’t want to hurt any of the natives and I’m sorry for the loss of life, but do you think you could point us in the right direction so we could avoid any more entanglements with your friends? Please?” She smiles warmly at him.

"See now, theres a bit of a problem with that." The man said. "You wanna cross through their land, you're going to have to square it away with them. Otherwise they might take your being here a bit harsher than before." Vazus scratched his head and shrugged. "Well if you want to get out of their territory in a hurry, the shortest rout is back thatway."
He pointed back the way the heroes had come. "Keep to the trails and after a few hours you aught to be out of this village's land. From there its about nine days walk to a road that'll take you to the nearest town."
Roth's hand clapped upon Ember's shoulder and he pulled her back so he could whisper in her ear.
"Perhaps we can use these Felucians to our advantage. They seem to have no love of the Empire and they would also know the area very well, including the location of the prison and of all the possible hazzards that lie in this sith hole. We shouldnt pass up such an opportunity lightly."
