I'm happy not to know, TBH ==================== Alaethia breaks down into tears and cries loudly, doing her best to throw her arms around the guard who has her by the arm. "Oh sir," she sobs, "They were torturing him so badly, and...an-an-and they sent me to get supplies to clean up. An' then there was arguing & shouting and shooting..." She wails helplessly.

i'm fine either way with the rolls.
"The servant girl startled us, Gobahrr started shooting, and when we tried to stop him all hell broke loose. At least I got his rifle though, always envied him this baby."
if he looks like he's going to not believe that, tor kirin will pull out his holdout pistol and shoot him in the gut.

The guard holding Alaethia releases his grip on her arm and shoves her away looking disgusted.
The one talking to Tor Kirin looks hesitant for a moment and peers over his shoulder into the room again taking in the sight of the Chiss and the other bodies. Then he relaxes and holsters his pistol before pointing at the body of the prisoner. "Hook him back up. He'd better be talking by the next time I come down here." Him and his companion turn to leave back the way they came and he throws over his shoulder "and someone needs to tell the Hutt."

Alaethia continues to sob until the guards are out of ear shot & sight.
With that done, she flashes Tor Kirin a sly grin.
"Good save", she whispers.
She darts back into the room to grab a bloody uniform, then bundles it in her arms like she's carrying more washing.
Then she'll start working her way back up through the building the way they came.

"shouldn't we get the chiss out of here first?"

Alaethia nods as she leaves.
"Find him a spare uniform, quickly!"

Well you've both caught up so we're back to here!
Speaking of back to places, you're back at the window you climbed through to get into the palace. You're both aware the area immediately outside the window seems clear of people. So that leaves you with needing to find a way out of the Hutt compound. The lack of people moving around suggests the place is still in a state of alert and you can presume the normal entrances will be heavily guarded.
Tor Kirin is aware of the sound of a speeder bike, his best guess being that its near the main entrance to the complex. Time is going to become a factor quite quickly as sooner or later someone is going to find the chiss missing and a stripped bloody corpse in its place.

Alaethia thinks for a second.
"We need to find a way to make a scene at the opposite end of the compound, so we can find an easier way to escape out of here with the Chiss," she whispers.
"How do you want to play this?"
She looks at the Chiss.
"Do you know of a way out of here?"

The chis is barely conscious and you're unsure if he can hear you. Leaning close to him and with a slightly raised voice and some gesturing he seems to understand you. His voice comes out as an unintelligible croak and he tries again only to break into a fit of coughing. Recovering slightly, he points a finger over to your North East. Following his finger you can see a corner of an extension of the palace and he gestures again.
In a barely audible whisper you hear
"Past there...the...wall" before another fit of chesty coughs rack his body and he clutches his side with a grimace of pain

"seems like perhaps we should head there"
tor kirin sets off in that direction.

Alaethia follows as quietly as she can. She looks around for things that might be rigged to explode if needs be.

Heading off in the direction the chiss pointed, you edge past the extension and find yourself in a garage area of sorts. Assorted speeders and a land cruiser sit in an open area with benches of tools and plans scattered between them. You continue through the garage, managing to duck behind a land speeder and avoid the sight of a wandering guard. A short distance further you reach the compound wall. At first nothing stands out about it to you, but on closer inspection Tor Kirin notices a couple of soft gouges. Spaced far enough apart to require some flexibility to use, they nonetheless appear positioned well enough to be used as crude handholds to pull yourself up and over the wall. At least the prisoner and Alaethia seem to be able to manage it with their small size. For Tor Kirin, his comparable bulk may make it a struggle.

Alaethia holds her arm out to the Chiss.
"Here, pass him to me. We'll get through the gap."
She looks to take care of the Chiss from Tor Kirin and help them both through the gap so he can focus on how he wants to escape.
"Still wish I could blow something up," she whispers.
=====
Totally read that comment about ducking behind the land speeder wrong the first time, thought you wrote "managing the ducks".
I sat there thinking "wow, this RPG has taken a turn for the unusual."
Then I started wondering what part the ducks would play.
*sigh*

I am massively enjoying having a social life for the first time ever. I apologise for the delays that's causing in updates. Alaethia ducks away from the wall and heads back to one of the closest speeder bikes. Tor Kirin can't quite see what she's doing as she fiddles with a panel on the side briefly before heading back to the wall. With some effort and a couple of slips and stumbles, she manages to drop down outside the compound. The chiss seems to have some life returning to him and he manages to aid Alaethia in pulling him over with her.
So that leaves Tor Kirin staring at the wall. It is perfectly possible for you to try and climb it by the way mate. If you like your chances with strength checks at least
