The Classic Bar Brawl

Our story continues on two fronts.

Firstly we've got Jokkenson, Keiran and Cyrus enjoying a not-so-quiet drink at a local pub while waiting for Keiran's contact to arrive. Eventually he notices someone at the bar discreetly peeking at them and tapping away on his data-pad. The man didn't fit the description of his contact mainly by not appearing to be female so he glimpsed into the future and saw an assortment of armed men led by a huge dangerous looking fellow. They glanced around the place until their eyes locked in with theirs and they approached with ill intent.

Jokkenson asked for a fancy drink last session
He informed his two companions of the vision. As captain, he decided they would stand their ground but also contact Ian and Yannick to join them in a counter-ambush. In the meantime, Jokkenson had to relieve himself in the lavatory. On his way back he came up to the suspicious looking man at the bar to warn him of having made a horrible mistake. Jokkenson wasn't fooled by the man playing dumb. He simply told him that he may lie as much as he likes but now Jokkenson knows his face and will eventually come for him. Jokkenson finished the man's drink and let him leave unmolested.

In a different part of the city, Ian helped Yannick get out of the pile of rubble that he found himself under. Fortuitously, the collapse revealed some parts that Yannick thought would be useful to add onto the ship. Together with Ian they bargained a price that included delivery to the ship's location. Shortly after, they have received a message from Keiran informing them of the situation. They received the location and orders to wait by the entrance to engage the enemy after they show their intent.
I wouldn't be surprised if it had been raining
all this time on this planet


On their way they were approached by a one-eyed woman by the name of Rulan Lee claiming she heard they were looking to buy ship parts to buy but Ian reminded Yannick that they had no time to waste right now. Yannick took the woman's contact details and they continued on their way to the pub. When there, they took a few empty glasses, put them on a table by the window nearest to the entrance, sat down and started to play cards.

Utilising their comlinks, Ian informed the rest of the party that an armed group was approaching the pub. Upon hearing this, Jokkenson headed over to the entrance to make sure he would accidentaly bump into the group as they entered. While he expected them to open fire on his sight, instead, they let him pass. His plan not working out, he tried to walk back in only to find the door to be locked from the inside... so he kicked it down, the door slamming into the closest assailant.

Seconds before this, one of the men looked around the place only to point a rifle at Keiran and demanded him to go with them but he was interrupted by the ensuing fight. When the door slammed into one of their number, someone shot Cyrus, taking him down and out of combat.

Yannick took out his weapon when the window they were sitting by was smashed by an invisible force, Ian jumped through it, landed inside and shot the nearest assailant with his newly acquired thermal pistol that shot plasma, leaving a cauterised would in his intended subject. As the battle progressed, Ian took out more of the enemy's number while Jokkenson engaged their biggest and toughest fighter in a one-on-one chain-axe versus sword brutal melee. Yannick used the window frame as cover for his shots while Keiran looked through the ever-shifting threads of probability for a possible future that he could grab onto.

We had to finish the session there with most of the party fighting and Cyrus bleeding out. Hopefully, someone will eventually notice that we were a party member down.
