Zen joined with the rest of the group an obvious look of disappointment on his face as the fingers of his right hand tapped away at the grip of his holstered blaster. Though he gave Nina a nod of approval he looked on as the swoop gang took off into the distance.
"I'm up for whatever path you guys wanna walk." Was all Zen said as he made a quick sweep of the area then turning to face the cantina. -
A part of me wants to just send Zen out and negotiate with his blaster old west quick draw style
-
Zen takes position just behind Remy his left hand on his shoulder his right holding his blaster just behind his right leg to keep it out of view. Watching the scene start to unfold as he whispers to Remy "If the shooting starts I'm behind you, I'll go to the right you take the left. Or we might use plan B."
He checked the area to make sure there were no snipers in sight as well as checking for innocents and possible areas for cover in the fire zone. A quick look behind him to make sure Tetra was gone then right back to the immediate threat ahead. -
Seeing as Zen was not singaled out he is definitely going to be providing cover. I think Remy has a Blaster and was also not pointed at? Zen would try to get Remy to assist. Maybe Tetra can sneak around and slip in close for melee?
I am open to suggestions but it seems to atleast have one person ready with weapon out jist in case negotiations need to become aggressive

He kept his demeanor calm as the woman walked in. As she demanded a fee he smirked while under the table he had his blaster firmly in hand waiting for her to approach. After she left his face defaulted to his usual serious look. "We could use the door as cover one on either side firing on them maybe there's a back exit a few others can use to swing around?" Zen said while looking at Shade, his weapon still hidden under the table.

As Zen watched the Rodian take off he slipped out his blaster under the table and kept it in his lap at the ready. For some reason he just never trusted Rodians. He wasn't xenophobic it was just something about Rodians and Hutts. He shrugged to himself as he thought about it but there were quite a few species in the galaxy that just seemed to gravitate towards the untrustable type.
He was just getting ready to get Shade's attention when the sound of speeder bikes came roaring into the area. No need now he thought to himself figuring Shade would already be on guard with the sudden approach of speeders. Even if it had nothing to do with them chances were those bikes belonged to a gang or some underground criminal group. With this crew being so obviously new to the scene it would make them prime targets. So he looked directly at the bartender to see what demeanor he had going on before he moved his head in a way that he could see the door from his peripheral without staring at the door. -
Too late for that gather info assist? if not @Malkavian Grin roll for me if it is too late sorry....

Taking a seat that gave him the best view of the main entrance and most of the visible area, while keeping his back close to a wall or gave him the best chance to dive for cover. Even if it meant flipping over a nearby table. He ignored most of the usual types that frequent these place keeping an eye on the more rougher patrons.
The place like so many he had been to before was a dichotomy to him. On one side it was the type of place he knew dangerous thing could happen in the blink of an eye yet on the other it was also a place he felt comfortable in even if he did look uncomfortable. The smells, smoke, and dankness he could stand even though it was an affront to his senses. Some places are well lit up others are dark enough that all manner of crimes can go on without barely being noticed. This place was somewhere in the middle.
He took time from in between glancing at the door and watching the area to people watch the inhabitants of this place. You never really knew but sometimes an individual would stand out as a possible informant. Maybe someone who is paying more attention to you than anyone else. Another possible subject might be someone like a user who might turn over information for a quick fix. Then again there just might be a quality person in the female form whom he could charm things from or himself into.
OOC Zen is going to be checking for anyone who might seem dangerous. Also someone who might be helpful given the right form of persuasion

Zen had followed in the back with Shade and Remy keeping his eyes moving across the scene. He had nearly bumped in Remy when he stopped at the entrance. As he turned slightly to check their rear he nudged Remy "What's the hold up Remy, something on your scanners?" Zen kept his hand near his blaster just not in a manner that seemed as if he was itching to reach for it. As he paused behind Remy waiting his left hand rummaged through his belt packs as if he was looking for something.

Zen had kept himself busy practicing his movements that he had learned from Tetra. By repeatedly trying those movements with others he had learned from his training he had started to get an idea of how best to mix this techniques, also when and where they would best be applied in combat. He still wouldn't be happy unless he had a chance to use these knew techniques in a real situation.
When they finally disembarked from their flight he gave a stern look at the sights around them crossing his arms the moment the beggar claiming to be a Viceroy approached them pleading his sob story. Part of him wanted to take pity but another knew a common tactic of con artists was this very type of ploy he had distanced himself further from the group to make sure he had a better field of view of the scene. Too make sure this was not some trap or an attempt at some kind of robbery. He had reached for his blaster as the beggar moved quickly and fell. He glanced around quickly to check to make sure no other suspects where moving in.
OOC. Zen is on the look out for a possible tail or ambush. He would also be wary of the beggar and I am looking to make a perception roll to make sure the beggar didn't try a sleight of hand pick pocket

Speaking of hit points, @Essex where are you getting those 2 extra from? We should have the same amount.
Tetra will definitely take Remy up on that and give his shockboxing gloves a +2 to damage.
I might have just added the 10 from hit die, unless I am missing something else. I can't remember. I changed it though.

OCC Sorry for the roll. First time rolling here and when i tried to edit it wouldn't let me type or change anything. But that was my knowledge check roll.

Zen had spent the past three weeks mingling with the crew. Mostly trying to make himself useful in anyway he could. If he wasn't helping the quarter master with arms then he was helping the flight crew with the star fighters. In his spare time he was in whatever passed for a cantina aboard the ship. A few days he had spent with some of the soldiers sparring and helping to run combat scenarios.
The days passed quickly for Zen and the nights passed faster. At least that is how it seemed today looking back as he waited for Gilder to start. He kept himself to the back of the room as usual watching the others as Gilder spoke. He wasn't sure how the rest of them felt about this mission but it was right up his alley. If anyone had taken a moment to glance at him he was more than likely smiling during the speech.
As the old man wrapped up the briefing he stayed silent as each member had their say. This time he only listened and did little to add anything to the conversation.
OOC Zen doesn't have galatic knowledge lore so I'm not sure if he would get a roll

Zen just smirked at Tetra before focusing on Remy then to Sirona "Punks?" He questioned with a raised brow "I think Remy learned great thing from me... us" he corrected himself as he motioned between himself and Tetra.

Thank peeps!!

@8w_gremlin no rush, I'm sure everyone remembers how awesomely manly Zen looks

Zen leaned back against a wall as he watched the events unfold between Tetra and Sirona. He didn't care much about the rumors of the war he had met Jedi, worked along side them. He didn't care one way or the other as long as he could count on his allies. As Tetra demonstrated his abilities in front of Sirona Zen pushed away from the wall and moved beside Sirona "Not all the stories you hear about Jedi are true.....Captain Okeefe" he said with a smirk and a wink then continued "If they were do you think the Republic would have worked along side them for a thousand years?" He gave her a playful nudge with his elbow and circled around to her other side.

Also does anyone have a good way for me to keep posting as I have and yet add my char pic back in on the right?
-
@Wizard of the Coat Sorry for not replying earlier I must have missed the tag.
Zen I am mostly plays as a scoundrel in a soldier class. At the moment I have his entire 20 lvl career planed out for soldier class but that was when I first created the char prior to start of them game. I have no real plans to switch it up but I haven't ignored the possibility yet either. -
So 2k creds from the mission and the speeder. I don't think Zen is looking for anything at the moment to buy. I forgot who it was or if a ship was even mentioned but Zen is holding his creds just in case it is needed.

Zen smirks at Tetra as he stretches his arms and shakes them out. Bouncing from one foot to the other as if he was just getting started. "Yeah I don't think anyone could take a direct hit from this guy" he thumbed at Tetra and then punched his left hand with his right hand "This guy crushed some droid skulls with his bare fists." After having the past couple of matches with Tetra he was fairly certain he was well on his way to becoming a deadly fighter. He then glanced over the woman just realizing this is probably the first time he spoke to any of the crew of the ship. A point he would have to correct as he wasn't the anti-social type. He had just been to focused on his sparing with Tetra. So he did what he does and offered her a smile as he offered his name "Zen, by the way."

Zen followed the rest of the group from behind taking a moment to observe the area and any beings who were out and about. After he made it inside he went right back to his seat drawing his blaster and slipping it under the table and out of view. He didn't know if those Vipers would come back but he also was not sure what other trouble might stick it's head through those doors. So he sat and waited for everyone to gather back together.
"You know if we are going to pretend to be employees of a Hutt or whatever, perhaps working our way into some criminal connections and action might help out in many ways" He spoke to the group just above a whisper.
