The Jungles of Yavin IV

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Tavion sighed he thought it was something dangerous."Are you armed?"he asked then took a step forward watching her intently. Walking up on her,"Why were you hiding? Whats your name?"he asked.

[Lady Morrigna]

Armed?

*She shook her head.*

No… I only have this dagger…

*She says, motioning towards her thigh.*

I believe not in harming natures good creatures… this is more for gathering samples for research…

*She lets her hood fall back only enough to see a seemingly genuine smile but not enough to expose her full identity yet.*

I’m Zyla Mabic. I’m a botanist here researching the flora and fauna of your good planet here… I apologize for any intrusion…

*About that time Morri begins to exercise her control of the howler’s mind.*

What was that?!

*She exclaims, pretending to be scared. Ducking low she covers her ears just in time to protect them from the shrill scream of the howler and for the larger than life, lizardesque beast to pounce over her head and straight for the jedi Master. As the howler attempts to have a jedi snack, Morri stands to her feet, a feigned look of shock and dismay on her face, while in her mind all she can think is about how much she will love seeing his blood spatter and to feel the life drain from him.*

[Johnathan Kenobi]

The jedi sighs with relief. "There is no problem."he answered and then introduced himself with a "I am Jedi Master Tavion of the Jedi Order here on Yavin."he said then just as he heard the howler his ears popped he grabbed his ears and yelped in pain just as the Howler jumped for him and took his head.

[Lady Morrigna]

*Morri blinked. Could it really have been THAT easy? She had at least wanted to play soccer with his head before the Howler ate it.... she inwardly grumbled, and released her control of the beast. It scurried away, leaving the body flopped on the ground. What a waste... she hadn't even gotten to feel enough pain to enjoy it... *

Oh well... maybe next time...

*She inwardly mused kicking the corpse, and kneeling to taste the Jedi's pooling blood. It certainly wasn't the worst she'd tasted... but certainly wasn't worth the work it had taken she decides before continuing on toward the Jedi Temple.*

[Lady Morrigna]

*As she continued to travel, Morri faced a few more lovely creatures, some that were stronger willed than others, but somehow she had managed to escape without more than a small scrape or two, and those were more from brambles than from fauna. She had made it a point to do so without the force, wanting to keep her force presence sealed for as long as possible. Growing bored with nature, she can’t avoid smirking when the Jedi Temple comes into view.*

Sso galas…

*She mutters beneath her breath as she looks for her best way into the temple.*

[Darth Paymon]

Thank you sir... I shall see you soon...

*She says politely before making her exit behind Paymon. She kept her presence shrunken until she had made her way into the woods. She stopped behind a large mangled mess of brush and waits for Paymon, they were now at a safe distance to be themselves and make their way to their ride away from this hippy happy frilly land of delusion and false friendliness to the place they were actually at home.*


*************************************************************************************************************

Paymon sighed walking up behind Morri. "How much farther to your shuttle,Morrigna?" he asked looking around and gradually letting the force back into his aura.

[Lady Morrigna]

*Morri shrugged*

It's not far now... just beyond the ridge there... in the brush...

*She says motioning ahead of them. She couldn't help but smirk as she passed by the place Tavion had met his demise earlier that day. *

Sudas j'us jidai noret kia buti...

*She growled under her breath, passing over the ridge.*

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon slightly gave a laugh at Morri's behavior and then continued on to her ship. He wasn't feeling good and was ready to get some rest and a decent meal. After they boarded the shuttle he sat in the co-pilot seat and tried to stay out of her way while she prepared the ship for take off.

[Lady Morrigna]

*As the duo boards the ship, Morri seals the door behind them and cues her astromech to begin the preflight checks. She figured if she and the droid worked together they could get the hell off this force forsaken rock sooner instead of later. Once all things were a go, she slips into the pilots seat, engages the thrusters and heads to orbit.*

[Kaden Cousland]

Kaden walks swiftly through the damp and humid trees of the jungle. Keeping her senses fully attuned to everything around her, she heads towards the location of where she is sensing Nick at. Pretty soon, she sees the ruins of the Palace of the Woolamanders. She makes a beeline for the entrance and enters.

[Mara Jade Skywalker]

Having cleared the hangar bay doors, Mara navigated through the dense foliage and brush of the Yavin IV jungle. While Mara typically preferred piloting starships and speeders, she had always felt it best to be familiar with other forms of transportation, should she need to use it in a combat situation.

Accelerating rapidly, Mara took the speeder bike through each of its lower gears quickly and soon reached the bike's power band. For an ordinary human, traveling at this speed through an extremely dense jungle would be hazardous to one's health, however Mara was a Jedi and she let the Force guide her movements through the trees, dodging tree limbs and vines at breakneck velocity.

Soon the sun began to fall under the treetops so Mara began to navigate her way back to the hangar bay and reached it just as twilight fell.
