Finding Bambu

Drek: That was... ****. Though after reaching your 19 the odds were on your side, since it had been exactly 13 rounds since anybody drew a 3, and neither of you had a +3 in your hands, so it was highly probable you were drawing one now. Good job!

Lana: Barriss, I honestly can't decide whether to hug you or hung you for this, but... We have tons of credits now!

Barriss: Yeah, I can imagine how you are feeling now, but I told you! I have mastered the game, haven't I? And to be fair with you all... We're splitting the money equally! You will all get 20.000 credits for being there for me to bet on! I'm taking the remaining 40.000 for winning the game!

Lana: Wait, you were waging 35.000 on me, 20 for me and 15 for my armour!

Barriss: Are those few credits really that important to you?

Drek: Technically, Lana's right!

Barriss: Okay, keep the credits, but you owe me a drink for this!

You all head to the bartender and place the 10.000 credits onto the desk.

Barriss: Here, the 10.000 as you asked. So, what can you tell me about Bambu?

Bartender (after counting the credits): Sorry girl, but that's not what we agreed to, I don't like being screwed.

Barriss: What?

Bartender: These aren't Republic credits, only 5000 of them! The rest are Hosnian credits, they are worth almost nothing!

Everybody: What?!

Drek (looking at the credits): By the! He's right! We haven't even checked the money he was putting onto the table!

Ranvi: What are we going to do now?

Lana: I'm going after him and get our money out of him!

Drek: The exchange rate is... If we all sum our newly won 95.000 credits together, it would be worth a little more than 5000 Republic credits.

Lana: You can't be serious!

Bartender: I can accept the 95.000 Hosnian credits, plus your 5000 Republic credits for my intel. From that amount, you might even buy a glass of Balmorran gin next to my intel. If you are interested, but that's all I can get for that price.

Lana: Fine, we take both, I promised a dink to Barriss...

Bartender (while giving the gin to Barriss and pointing to a group of Gotals in the back): Those are the people you are looking for. They are the friends of Bambu, they could tell you all you want to know.

Barriss: Thanks! All in all, we got what we wanted, haven't we?

Drek: Yes, but the spare credits would have been good...

Ranvi: Don't worry about them, we didn't have a problem of not having them previously, we can manage without them in the future too! As if nothing had happened!

Lana: Let's go and speak with those Gotals and find this Bambu, the sooner the better.

Dealer (as you head to the Gotals): Would you like to buys some **** stick? I saw you win a lot of money! They are of good price and quality, I promise!

Valare: Ouh, **** sticks! That's good stuff! Just try not to use too much at once or you'll find out why it's called **** stick!

Lana (thinking): Perhaps an other time!

Ranvi: No thanks!

You get to the table, surrounded by 5 Gotals. They were quietly drinking when you arrived.

Gotal 1: Can we help you?

Barriss: We are looking for Bambu, do you know where he is?

Gotal 1: Bambu is offworld today, why are you looking for him?

Barriss: We would like to ask him a few questions!

Gotal 1: Oh crap, don't tell me you are an other group of bounty hunters...!

Gotal 2: Idiot, that's a Mandalorian girl, OF COURSE they are bounty hunters!

Gotal 3: We are not going to give out Bambu! He's our hero!

Barriss: We don't want to hurt him, we are not bounty hunters!

Gotal 1: That's what I would say if I were a bounty hunter!

Lana: We are not bounty hunters!

Gotal 4: You seem like bounty hunters to me!

Gotal 5: Bambu is the champion of the refugees! Always giving us money without expecting anything in return! If you dare to touch him, you are dead!

Ranvi: Look at them, aren't they cute? With their little furry faces and horns!

Drek: That's not exactly the word I wanted to use for them, but that'll suffice.

Barriss: Look, I'll get you a drink if you tell us how to find him!

Gotal 1: We are not saying anything about Bambu!

Gotal 3: We don't even know anybody called Bambu! Leave us!

Gotal 4: Yes, and definitely leave alone anybody called Bambu, that we don't even know!

Gotal 5: But we know Bambu!

Gotal 2: No, stupid, you should say we don't know him so they leave us be!

Gotal 5: But that's not true! You want me to lie?

Lana (facepalming): Ah, this isn't going anywhere...!

Barriss: What should we do now then?

Valare: You can always use ****! The more innocent the target, the more fun it is!
