    1 advantage for some background on Passk's reputation perhaps?

  • The BraysterThe Brayster UKRegistered User regular
    There's nothing I can really suggest that would be relevant in regards to his past, but to confer advantage in the now I'm happy to give you +1 Boost Dice for any negotiating with him - you've caught him on a good day.

    @discrider I'd like you to make a roll for convincing Passk to help, on the basis of him giving help now for the vague promise of future reward.

    You can make either an Average Negotiation (Pr) check (2 difficulty dice) to convince him that you're totally gonna give him something from the haul once you've already stolen it.

    OR, you can make an Easy Cool (Pr) check (1 difficulty dice) to settle for 'A favor for a favor' on more immediate terms.

    Failing either will give you a bit more work to do. You do however, still a Boost Dice from the advantage you gained earlier.

    So.. A favor for a favor, and perhaps he's willing to actively help us out once (Deus Ex Machina) if we get in trouble or think we need it at some point in the "steal the Imperials stuff" part of the mission?
    Or maybe he just equips us with things, but I don't know how much we need equipment.

    I feel like a couple of Imperial uniforms could go a long way here.

    OH damn you rolled a Triumph.

    Okay, Favor for a Favor it is. I'll put everything immediate together now. For you triumph I can award you help from Passk later in the mission, at an... appropriate moment.

    Usually the only way you get despair dice is from dark side token flips by the DM.
    I guess if you're contesting some enemies skill and the normally have 2 yellow dice on the roll though..

    Maybe don't arm-wrestle Chewbacca

    The Calamari slave girl pics?
    Imperial propaganda distributed to Calamari conscripts.
    Just to impress that they own you.

    ... the imperials are probably not equal opportunity conscriptors?
    Assuming that they care any I guess.
    They probably accidentally mixed males in with the pinups, just because someone spawned with pink scales.

    They also wrap veils across our midriffs for the shots.
    Like we're mammals or something.

    I am thinking about this too much.

    Is there room to change in the shop?

    Well this certainly went in a direction I was not anticipating.

    And yes, you can change in the shop.

    I'm a little conscious that the game has stalled.

    Do you guys want to come up with some kind of plan to go forward among yourselves, or would you prefer if I give you a 'Narrative Push', as it were?

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    I'm fine with a narrative push!

    If someone wants to computer, go ahead and say so soon-ish :)

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    Sorry, I was a little stuck in the "who has computer skills" mindset, if you want, I can come up with a computer search post on my lunch break. I'm guessing its INT, and maybe a boost for my familiarity with Imperial systems?

    Well I can do computers. But I was waiting on some suggestion of where to find the terminal from the DM.
    Maybe I should have been explicit about that though :S

    discrider on
  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    I'd just say we find the nearest open terminal, there are bound to be some around, and I'll do my best to bluff if people start asking questions.

    What does a slicer kit actually do by the way?

    Looks like those items that don't specifically state their in-game advantage provide boost die/dice when used appropriately

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    Oh, sorry, I was trying to make a play on words regarding slice and dice.

    But yeah, now that I actually put thought into it, its probably an extra die, or a die upgrade.

    Yeah, its like playing Counter Strike and loading yourself with a bomb defusal kit.

    You can defuse the bomb without one but it is way more risky.


    Also yeah, if you're waiting for me, just hit me up with a message. I do this thing with my group in RL where I try to advance the narrative only to have them go 'nononowaitwaitwait I wanted to do X first!', so I'm trying to kick that habit.

    Ok, well I'm willing to move from Passk's shop to some general access terminal for some recon before going up to the Imperial controlled level.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    As long as we move along it doesn't make much difference! :)

  • DenadaDenada Registered User regular
    Yup I'm all for a screen-wipe to the next scene.

    Sorry for the slow updates guys, work has been kicking my butt recently.

    I'd like someone to make a Medium (2 difficulty dice) check for either Charm, Coercion or Negotiation, with an extra setback die on top because the officer is acutely aware of your attitude.

  • Moridin889Moridin889 Registered User regular
    Does shooting him in the face count as negotiation?

  • The BraysterThe Brayster UKRegistered User regular
    I feel like everyone in the surrounding area may have a malus on any future negotiation checks after employing such a tactic.

    Setback is 1eS, correct?

    1 Success, 1 Advantage, and apparently the dice images are broken, which makes me a little sad.

    Although the tone I went with doesn't feel like it really fits a Charm/Negotiation check, so if you want I can try and work up something a little more accurate.

    I know, I was expecting to see all the colors, and then being lost trying to read them, and then check the text readout, but instead just had to jump straight to knowing what happened.

    Also, the main reason I went with disdainful was because "This is not the droid you're looking for" was overwhelming everything else.

    ~*You managed to successfully retrieve something from your pocket!*~
    Sorry, that large dice pool is rather hilariously out of sync with the action specified to me.

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    Oh, sorry, does not everyone have dice pools this long? :winky:

    I mean at least it wasn't an opposed check to retrieve your ID.

    6 success, 5 threat
    "Here's my ID!" Bellows Soren at the Impertinent guard, launching the card directly into his dumb face.

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    Gdi, I rolled a shit load of threat on my "read" check, and now everyone at work wants to know why I was giggling maniacally.
