Stage 5

I met a hunter named Gavan in the deserts of Tatooine, he was surrounded by the corpses of Tusken Raiders and looked to be lost and frightened. He asked me if I knew the way back to Sandriver and added that he would pay me to escort him to safety. Should I really be bothered to assist someone who clearly brought this misfortune upon themselves by not preparing properly?

Please, could you show me some kindness?”.

I decided not to help Gavan. It’s not my problem he didn’t prepare properly for the deserts of Tatooine.

Stage 15

I felt a small amount of pity for Gavan so I agreed to take him back to Sandriver. The reward better be worth the trouble, though.

I thought I was gonna die in this nightmare of a desert, thank goodness! I need to get to Sandriver however possible! I’ll give you credits AND my blaster if I make it there alive. Just talk to me again when we’ve reached Sandriver and you’ll be rewarded properly. Now, please, let us move before the Sand People catch wind of us.”.

Stage 20 — Finished

After escorting Gavan to Sandriver, he gave me his unique looking blaster rifle and a small purse of credits. He seemed to be member of the Hunter’s Federation, so I can expect to be a little bit more welcomed by members of the Hunter’s Federation.
