Rotting Rancor Barfight

The Rotting Rancor Barfight was a short altercation that began when a mysterious Woman in Red attempted to arrest the Kel Dor force adept Sel Feng.

She had entered the bar in the hopes of conscripting an excavation crew from among the patrons, but detected Feng's force-sensitivity and immediately became hostile.

Spacers Kyle Koduul, Tommy Randor, and Illix Shah-el, who had come to the bar in search of a skilled mechanic, witnessed the attempted arrest.

Having earlier befriended Feng and offered him a place among their crew, they jumped to his defense and attacked the Woman in Red with blasters and a force pike.

Using a lightsaber and the Force the Woman in Red easily thwarted their attacks, but Feng used the Force to mount a surprise attack on her.

The four of them then fled the scene.

Arrival
Having kidnapped the Moff of Mulgard sector, Kozalimn Vrakthuli, and having stolen his latest secret project, Tommy Randor and his companions fled the planet Yeshocq and made their way to Umgul, where there was known to be a smaller Imperial presence.

Upon landing in Umgul City, they immediately sought out a mechanic who could repair their air recyclers, damaged during their escape. Their search led them to the Rotting Rancor Cantina, where they sought advice from the bartender. They were eventually referred to a Talz mechanic named Ilqool.

Meanwhile Illix Shah-el, in yet another feat of impressive bodily control, ate an entire womp rat in a single sitting without vomiting despite being slightly drunk on foul-tasting local alcohol. Impressed bar patrons then paid for the cost of his meal and drink.

Before meeting Ilqool, Randor spoke with Sel Feng. Both were technically wanted fugitives, and were initially wary of one another, but Feng, who had been using Umgul as a place to hide, recognized the value of the company of others who wanted to avoid the Empire. He eventually accepted Randor's offer to join his vessel's crew.

Arrest Attempt
As Randor met with Ilqool, who promised to fix the air recyclers for a fee of five hundred credits if the replacement parts were provided for him, a beautiful human woman in flowing red robes burst into the cantina and demanded that the patrons form a digging crew, citing Imperial authority.

Hoping to blend in with the other patrons, Randor, Feng, Shah-el, and Kyle Koduul lined up to join the crew. The woman suddenly singled Feng out, however, demanding to know who he was. When his answers proved unsatisfactory, she revealed that he was a force-adept and told him he would be brought into Imperial custody.

Igniting a red lightsaber, she used the Force to shove Feng into a wall. Most of the bar's patrons scattered, fleeing out the back door, but Randor and his allies held their ground, unwilling to abandon their new shipmate to a common enemy despite the revelation that he could use the Force.

The Barfight
Rapidly drawing his blaster, Randor opened fire on the Woman in Red, but she easily deflected the shot with her lightsaber. This led Shah-el to charge her with his force pike, but she sidestepped and lifted the more than seven hundred pound Ssi-ruu into the air with one hand, smashing him face-first into a wall.

Horrified by this display of power, Koduul considered an immediate surrender, hoping that the captured Moff would provide them with a bargaining chip that would help them escape. But Feng, regaining his feet, picked up one of the tables with the Force and used it as a battering ram, hitting the woman in the back of the head and throwing her into the street.

The four companions then fled the scene through the back door.

Aftermath
In order to convince Ilqool that it was safe to continue dealing with the group, Feng used a mind trick on him, convincing him that the entire situation was a misunderstanding that would soon be cleared up. The spacers then split up in search of the credits they would need for repairs.

The Woman in Red would shadow the movements of the four for the rest of the day, gathering information on them, but did not strike. Meanwhile, fear of the force-adept prompted the bar patrons to describe Feng and his companions to a group of bounty hunters. These hunters, hired by the crime lord Sonuu Ythiae to track down Shah-el and Randor, would later attempt to attack the group at a junk shop.
