Friends and Nemeses

Would having Kri and the cam droid come along with me to talk with Ellimelli provide a boost to my Charm? Kinda like a show of good faith? I’m assuming if I didn’t it would incur setback.

Lol never seen so many before,

Also I forget but is two advantages enough to learn one of someone’s motivation things?

Yep, those reds have been productive for me as GM!

is enough to learn the target's Strength or Flaw, but not his Desire or Fear. If someone has a preference before I post, I'm game for either. If not, I'll just pick one.

The ... Let me think on that one. It could be that he guesses you have ulterior motives for being in the club. Not sure yet.

Don’t think either would help more than the other at this time.

I may just be borderline evil but I want the Flaw so I can exploit it! Haha but that’s just me. You guys can decide.

Yeah, I'm thinking a . She presumably wants to talk shop in private, but she's not willing to risk the camdroid being hidden away again. She loses her leverage if the sack leaves her sight.

Kithaba is giving me flash backs of a Klatoonian in my tabletop game. Looking for the god that killed her god(assasin killed a Hutt. Only a god can kill a god and they must be the stronger god...) as part of the obligation.

Now having a moral dilemma over this as Meshel has never been brought up in the Klatoonian culture of Hutt worship. He’s been on the streets amongst all races all him life. Still, fellow Klatoonian.

What’s the difficulty for Coercion against Ellimelli? I’ll using Cutting Questions and roll Deception in its place though.

I actually ported Lalkan over from my tabletop game. There, he was the lone survivor of a Klatooinian village being preyed upon by fellow Klatooinian cultists who were sacrificing them to the Hutts. Not his backstory here, of course. The challenge for Meshel now is how to handle a guy who thinks Meshel worships Hutts and to keep that guy from hounding him so he can "help" with the "mission." indeed!

@kanila: Feel free to make a counteroffer if you wish. If that's your angle, you'll probably want to try Negotiation, but Charm or Coercion (or even Deception) may come into play depending on your approach. Let me know which you'd prefer, and I'll give you the difficulty. Or Ryg'gos may accept her initial "offer" of sharing the footage, in which case there's no need to roll.

@DeepSpacer: It's not a "social combat" per se, but Jessa can try to get more information out of Granari with a social check. Let me know what approach you'd like to take (Charm, Coercion, Deception) and I'll give you the difficulty. Or she can let it drop.

Should I post and roll after? That way you can determine what’s best?

Go ahead and edit your post to include the roll. Sounds like it could be Deception or Coercion. Let's say Coercion, which will be opposed by her (non-existent) Discipline of with a since she's pretty sure she saw the camdroid. If you want to activate Cutting Question, you can do so, and roll Deception versus this difficulty instead. 2 strain if you fail, otherwise she takes strain for each uncancelled you get.

I’ll go with Cutting Question, at that difficulty. I’ll roll and update the IC.

1 Success, 1 Advantage



@SavageBob Updated

If I flip a LS could Kri have pocketed the droid while I was talking with Ellimelli? I would guess a Stealth check would be required.

@SavageBob Jessa wants to see how she reacts to the questions and conversation before she decides on a course of action. Jessa is definitely one to use this person to her advantage.

Granari seems to have dropped the issue. It's in Jessa's hands if she wants to press the matter in some way (with a social check of some kind).

Do you mean Kri moved the droid from the bag onto her person somehow? Like in her coat? That would take Stealth, yeah. Would be kind of hard, as I'm picturing this thing as probably the size of a volleyball. But let me know if you'd like that to be the case. Another possibility is Kri's hidden it somewhere behind the bar, which might be easier, but would open up the possibility of a club staff member finding it. Either one sounds right for a LS flip (since Ryg'gos can't communicate these ideas to Kri).

I think hiding it behind the bar, even if it is only temporary is best. She could always sneak it back into the bag after I show Ellimelli. Do you want me to post asking for the bag?

Yeah, go ahead and flip the DP and ask for the bag. I'll embed Kri's Stealth check in Ellimelli's response!

So, enemy ! How would you like to spend it, Kanila? I can figure out how to use her after we determine what the means.

Strength and weakness maybe?

She's still not to the point where she's willing to negotiate (each encounter is different, but I think she needs to be at least at half strain for that). The current approach looks like Charm to me. Roll versus .

Looks like you moved the narrative forward before we could use the despair and advantages though. I'll let you get one of her Motivations since we've moved a bit further along, or you can use her to upgrade your Charm roll. Let's say her four are that Kri's a bit boxed in right now and can't leave just yet.

@Spiritbw, sounds like Meshel's trying to Charm Lalkan. You can just edit your post to add in the roll. Roll versus but with for appealing to the "Ancient Ones." I'll throw in a third because he's the same species.

Sorry about that. I’ll just take one of the motivations then. Whichever you deem appropriate. And do you want the Charm check just edited in?

Go to the VA for the day and you guys go nuts on the conversation...lol
@SavageBob since no one else has done so, what roll will Targus need as a roll to schmooze Kittobuck a little?

Going to the VA is horrible!

@SavageBob What's the Charm difficulty versus Granari? Any mods (good or bad) for Jessa's "approach"?

She is hesitant to use a Zannel reference, preferring not to bring up that part of her (Jessa's) past, even though it might possibly be beneficial at the moment.
