Dromund Kaas was one of a handful of planets that Draven had never stepped foot on and as his ship touched down on a landing pad just outside a small town at the edge of the jungle, he realized why he had avoided this place in the past.
The very air on Dromund Kaas was wet, although humidity wasn't the only thing that seemed to stick in the air. Draven could feel the darkside pulsing faintly the moment he stepped foot onto the soil. It tugged gently yet somehow still.. forcefully at his senses, a breath on the wind beckoning him to search out the source of its power. He would heed the call on his own time of course, for now there were other things that needed tending to.
For now, his objective was to gather information. He would be working out of this town, known locally as Balmorra, for the foreseeable future. Dromund Kaas was littered with old ruins now overtaken by the jungle and this close to the wilderness there was bound to be a scavenger around that could have some useful information - otherwise he'd probably be chasing ghosts and wasting valuable time.
Rain was beginning to fall in fat droplets which was driving most of the people milling about on the Balmorran streets inside, which actually ended up helping Draven out. If they weren't going home they were likely going to whatever cantina was most popular and a cantina filled with people with nothing else to do but talk was the perfect place to start looking for a useful local.
Following the crowd, Draven eventually found himself inside a cantina called the Cozy Chevin and made his way to the bar. Flagging down the bartender, Draven flipped him a couple large credit chits before starting to speak.
I'm looking for information, Draven said, idly, looking to his right for a moment to eye a particularly good looking Twi'lek. Need someone who knows the jungles. Know anyone like that?
Draven was purposefully vague in his questioning, figuring specifics were better discussed in private with someone who might actually know something. In his armor he looked like any other mercenary who might be passing through. He kept his voice loud enough to catch the ear of anyone around who might be listening too.
The bartender rattled off a few names and pointed a couple people out and Draven thanked him, but didn't make a beeline for anyone in particular. For now, he ordered a drink and lit a cigar, content to observe a little before talking to anyone.
