Land there ... no there... no there...

After the shock of seeing a Jedi imprisoned, the group asked the Geonosians through the interpreter how they captured the Jedi.  They learned the Jedi a series of strikes attacked their hive a few days back, and, although another group of Jedi successfully captured Poggle, this particular group of Jedi were defeated by their defenders.  Three Jedi were killed but they captured this Jedi and have been interrogating him but have so far been unable to learn anything significant.  Unwilling to discuss their options in front of the Genosians, they agreed to go back to their ship.  While on board, Bib informed the group that he had sensed two force users approaching their direction quickly.  While assessing their options, the Jedi arrived and combat began around their ship.  As cannon fire rained down from the mountainside, they took off flying low.  When they moved a cannon shot blasted one of the jedi while the other surged forward for cover. 

The group flew their ship out of the area and landed in the desert in what appeared to be a safe clearing.  While assessing the damage to their shields, suddenly the ship lurched down and they appeared to be trapped in some sort of mud pit.  Punching their sublight engines, they pulled free and while looking for another location to land, Dekapota went into the cargo hold to inspect any damage.  Turns out one of the landing gears was damaged.  Trying to use the force to remove the sludge eating away at the gear, Dekapota pushed with too much force and broke the landing gear off the ship.  Locating a safe place to land surrounded by rocks, they set down and all but Bib and got off the ship to begin repairing the gear.  Connected to the ship was what appeared to be mud corroding the metal from the mudpit.  Using the force to begin pulling it off the ship, two large creatures came over the rocks aggressivly approaching the party.

Rwarr charged forward with his vibroaxe and began to engage the creature.  While the rest of the group dealt with the aggressive sludge and shot at the creatures from afar, Rwarr was punctured with two claw attacks and bitten almost in half.  His body was tossed behind the charging reptile.  While Bib fired away at the creature with the ship's guns, the rest of the group was able to do enough damage to drop the larger of the two creatures.  Although Zeph fell unconscious, Dekapota was able to grab him and carry him onto the ship before successfully taking off to escape yet another bad landing zone.
