>Command Vance and Delores to grab their guns and help you.
You command Vance and Delores to grab their guns and help out. It seems to work, and as they grab their weapons, you spin around and draw your Aelderi laspistol, aiming it somewhat southwest so that you can pivot towards the tribal twins or the third Thorakara on short notice.
A slender weapon resembling the offspring of a bone wand and an old fashion flintlock pistol, the Aelderi version of the laspistol lacks the firepower of a shuriken pistol, or the versatility of a splinter pistol with its wide range of toxins, but is a popular back-up weapon for Corsairs because they are small, easy to craft, and can be recharged from a wide range of power sources. Some of them have a wide range of power settings and rates of fire, but yours fires shots on par with a typical Imperial laspistol, albeit with far more shots between reloads.
The twins open fire on Namara almost simultaneously, but somehow both miss. No doubt both rifles were in dire need of some recalibration.
As they struggle with the bolt actions trying to get ready for the next shot, Namara shoots one with her revolver, knocking the tribal over the edge, but also causing you to miss your own shot. The other tribal dives over the edge before you can line up another shot.
Everyone pivots over to the other Thorakara holding Audrey at gunpoint.
It seems he is in too much pain to speak, but the fact he hasn’t fired on Audrey yet make his intentions somewhat clear, he is probably trying to indicate that no one can fire on him without Audrey being shot.
Or maybe he is stalling in hopes Vance and Delores side with him.
You never find out.
A sudden rustle from the trees covering the south side of the temple cause him to aim his pistol in that direction.
A large pig-like mutant comes bursting out of the trees and splits the Thorakara nearly in half with a huge axe, drenching Audrey in blood.
Audrey ducks aside as pig man rushes past her towards you and the others.
You, Namara, Vance, and Delores open fire on the creature, slowing it down, but only after it absorbs a considerable around of firepower does it finally die.
You and Namara reorient on Vance and Delores, not sure how far you can trust them.
They were borderline corrupted by Slaanesh back when you knew them, and who knows what they have been up to since then. At minimal, they were probably given some sort of basic indoctrination when they joined/were conscripted into the Thorakara. No sign of obvious mutations, but most Thorakara don’t.
Part 1:
>Let them keep their weapons for now.
>Disarm them.
>Disarm and constrain them.
Part 2:
>Try to get them to send a message to summon friendly reinforcements right away.
>Get them to bring the vox-caster somewhere safe, chat with/interrogate them on what they have been up to in order to determine their loyalties/extent of corruption.
>Knock them out, try to figure out how to use the vox-caster yourself.
