Licking Their Wounds and Counting the Cost

Davin and his team returned to their ship, having dropped off Miss Daisy with her grateful son. 
Unfortunately the bounty hunters who had gone to capture the woman were far from grateful (a 1 was rolled). The crew had another enemy to contend with (so I had better give them names).
The Bounty Hunters - Thaali, Immen & Pata Yulig
 I decided to also assess their wounds to see how long it would be before they sought their revenge.
Thaali received a torso wound (out for 2 episodes); Immen - gruesome fate and Pata Yulig received minor injuries. So no wonder, they are now enemies - they want revenge for the killing of their leader.
The crew learnt that there was a reason why Miss Daisy lived in the shanty town and Arrik Chattza's clothing was so threadbare as they received 3 Credits as payment (plus the promise of treasures in heaven). They now have 9 Credits in their coffers.
They were no luckier with their looting either - just two weapons found and they were both broken (roll of 8). I decided (without rollling) to have them find Immen's hunter's rifle and one of the other bounty hunters' shotguns. Each will need 3 credits to repair them.

Vinca will need to spend an episode in the sick bay, having received a nasty arm wound from Pata Yulig's shotgun. That will give him plenty of time to contemplate his own revenge.
However, there was some good news. Having heard of their escapade, they were approached by a stranger who asked to join their crew:-
Drinna Kiles

Origin: Lower classes of the mega-city, Tanaquil Standpoint
Motivation: Faith
Class: Bounty Hunter
2 Quest clues

Drinna is a local lad, "growing up" (he's quite short) in the only city on the planet. He has tried to carve out a living as a bounty hunter but has not been very successful. A neighbour of Miss Daisy, he was impressed with the way the crew dealt with enemy bounty hunters and decided to throw his lot in with Davin.
However, having just fought off three bounty hunters, the crew were not fully in favour of Drinna joining them. Some wondered how much they could trust him. A heated argument broke out between Jaa and Jeela with Davin eventually overruling everyone. With Vinca incapacitated, they needed a replacement so Drinna was welcome to join them. Jeela stormed off to the sick bay to look after Vinca and think things over while the others reflected and learnt from their experiences.
Onto episode 2...
