So, DS, Coercion to get Marax to fork over some credits? You mentioned there would be alternative forms of compensation that don't include looting bodies, so this is my one attempt to get some of that. :) This is also Vesper's temper coupled with her sense of injustice being piqued. Vesper's no face, so a boost from one or two of the other players would be nice if there will indeed be a roll. (That is, if they want to indicate they'd help, like Lanna glowering or Ronin or Thino speaking out on our behalf or whatever.)
Good news and Bad news. First the Bad. I looked over the Coercion skill several times and I am afraid it does not apply here. It is based on threats or harm, neither of which Vesper is doing. PERHAPS the threat to "leave", but Marax doesn't need your business. The check very much matches the language under the Charm skill.

The Good news is 1) Marax is a wealthy noble template, not high attributes or skills, and 2) I reread the Charm skill and saw...
CRB = "For situations in which...a target who is already predisposed to react favorably toward the PC, the PC does not need to make an opposed check. Instead...difficulty (of the check) is determined by their number and their disposition....may require few, if any, difficulty dice."
Ronin's approval of Vesper's request seems to mean something to Marax, almost as if he trusts him (to an extent) (6 successes on a previous charm check). Vesper can make a Charm Check at 1 Diff with 3 Boost dice. 'Skilled Assistance' from Kzar makes your initial dice pool GGG. You may want to use a DP to upgrade and get a chance for a Triumph. The amount of "payoff" will be determined by the success of the roll. A Triumph working alike the 'multiplier' on a lottery ticket. ;)

Done!

Vesper Reshari; Uprising; Charm check:
4 Successes, 4 Advantages

No Triumph for that DP (alas), but it was worth a shot! Looks like he likes us for "three more scenes." Maybe he'll personally accompany us to sell our cargo and do our shopping, giving us some sort of advantage with the local merchants? The default Advantage use in the CRB is to affect additional targets, but I'm not sure who that would be in this case.

Not all result options are applicable in all cases. That's what GMs are for. ;)

Lanna looks down at the Rodian and replies, "Thank you. All I need is some rest. The doctor acts as if I am indestructible. I am not."
Does Lanna need healing? I'm not sure what she's getting at here; the doctor had little say in the move to the cantina, and Kzar had some serious injuries that needed tending to. Not sure what Vesper could have done differently.

The FFG RAW does not provide for a quick means to get rid of strain. You can heal lots of wounds, but the morons at FFG neglected to create an item (drug) to do anything about strain. It may have been a deliberate decision on their part, to make players play more cautiously (not be so eager to eat strain) or they just want to see PCs pass out.

I'm just roleplaying, Bob. Don't take things personally.

No worries; just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. I'd blame Kettel, though. ;P

How difficult would it be for Thino to try and speak huttese considering he already understands it? I assume the greatest difficulty would be trying to pronounce it given the shape of his mouth.

Huttese is spoken by a great many species in canon. I'm pretty sure Rodians are one of them. You can Google the language and see what Wookieepedia has to say about it.

Read her backstory and you'll understand. IC you had no way to know. Thino wasn't the pilot who took her away from Nar Shaddaa, and she hasn't talked about her past to hardly anyone.

Oh yea definitely, I’m glad I didn’t know so that I didn’t meta game, but I do need to read backstories, I was only reviewing stats before.

Thino smiled awkwardly, well aware of the awkward situation he almost caused for everyone. I could always offer to learn how to speak Trandoshan, he thought to himself, but somehow I think that might only make things worse
It would. A Hutt owned the gladiatorial arena. Trandoshan slavers ran it.

Vesper is eager to hear from our two brazen Rebels, but she'd rather Marax and his entourage leave first. That's why she didn't mention food or drinks—she's worried he'll want to join us, since he seems to be something of a social butterfly.

Matt I’m confused by your post I don’t think any character said anything insulting outloud, think thought ronins actions were rash, lanna snorted, and vesper asked us how we could talk so openly about it. The only think I could think of that could be seen as an insult is ketel emphasizing the you in his questions, is that what ronin is reacting to?

Ronin sees veiled insults everywhere. It has nothing to do with you guys. Though he has good reasons since you all keep saying that I'm too rash.

Those are in thoughts though lol, but in all seriousness I’ve been playing Thino as like a concerned older brother type to ronin who he’s proud of but also slightly embarassed by naturally.
