Encounter: Horkan Swoop Gang Part 2

Larea Doron : Horkan Swoop Gang Part 2
Challenge Level 4

Reward:
500 XP
0.00 credits

Mission Briefing: Larea Doron can be found at the outpost with a successful DC 15 Gather Information check. Doron's ship was impounded when Demmit Station was locked down from the Imperial withdraw. The week following she has become separated from her ship's crew and active Alliance cell while on the run from Imperial remnants and their paid stooges.

Hazard: PCs will have the datapad given to them by Horkan and after Doron logs into the pad for a moment, she will become visibly enraged and stomps her way into the cantina.

Encounter: As a “meta-result” of their intimidation check failure from the last encounter, the GM will elect one random player to control Horkan (use Swoop Gang Leader p.98 Threats of the Galaxy) in his fight against Larea Doron (use Master of Teras Kasi w/ heavy blaster pistol p.53 Threats of the Galaxy). Doron will begin the fight with an attempt to grapple Horkan, throw him into the wall and wail on him unarmed until he falls unconscious. The player controlling Horkan will try and fight back as much as he can. The Horkan thugs realize they are outmatched in this confrontation and will stand aside.

Resolution: Larea Doron will instruct the Horkan thugs to haul their leader's carcass back to whatever hole they crawled out of. Days ago Doron forced the swoop gang to run an errand to retrieve the datapad for her believing this would place her in closer contact with the gang whom she believes is holding her pilot captive for ransom. Only like the coward he is Horkan refused to deliver the datapad himself after the first beating handed to him from Doron, so he conscripted the players to finish his dirty work.

The information on the datapad itself suggests Doron's cell had been comprised by the swoop gang at behest of the Imperials. Now that everybody wants to save the Rebel pilot and dish out a little payback, the players may escort Larea Doron with her speeder transport as she expertly shadows the Horkans back to their hideout.
