For a Fistful More #2 - Botched Prisoner Swap

The race for Womprat Wanyo's treasure wasn't the only thing going on.  

The crew of the Lightning Bug was also caught up in a running gun battle.  Words were exchanged, by multiple sides, and somehow, their trusty Captain Reynolds was had been captured by Rodian Rando Morr's team.  As luck would have it, trusty #2 Sue had captured Keeper Trejo, Rando's #2  and a prisoner exchange was scheduled. 


The Crew of the Lightning Bug, with Keeper Trejo

Rando Morr's motley assortment... along with Captain Reynolds. 

It seemed pretty simple, meet in the middle of the river, exchange prisoners and go on their merry ways.   
But it wasn't a normal week at all.  The death of the Lightning Bug's pilot, Dry, the crew was one edge, and no one Moreso that his wife, Zoe.  So when something that sounded like gunfire rung through the quiet vale, Zoe lifted up her shotgun and fired back.  Chaos ensued. 

For the first time ever in his life, Rando charged forward, running into the river.  His objective was to rescue Keeper Trejo...

He never got out of the river.   Sue came out of some trees, and with quick successive shots,  the Rodian started floating down stream.  
The Gungan fired over in Zoe's direction, and everyone was amazed he didn't hit.  The Gotal dragged Captain Reynolds into the woods for cover.  Zoe's shotgun dropped the Gungan.

It was Sue with a long range shot in the woods that wounded the Gotal, freeing Captain Reynolds.  The good captain extorted his own brand of justice with his hands, choking the alien.
Surprisingly,  the Rodian's gang all survived the post battle campaign review, but with the Gungan out their next game, they weren't really an entity of some sort. 

And the crew of the Lightning Bug got their leader back.... and they had grown attached to Keeper Trejo

So, with the 10 renown in the bank to use, the Keeper became a member of the ship's crew.
