Unfortunately, using Presence to distract is an active thing, which normally is not a problem but in this case it would come at the same time as you are trying to manipulate the ball. Getting attention away from you would be handy, though.

Well does distract work like Obi-Wan used it in ANH? Relle can try to do that by making some sort of noise with the Force that draws attention away from the table. While nobody is looking, Rand can give it a go.
Xavier tries a lie! The speciality of the Dark Side, and so obviously he is skilled in... oh dear...
"Yeah?" says the guard. "Can I see some id?"

Sorry, Rianna, no amount of slipping away will help here, as you've already been spotted as the situation heated up. Sadly this is not Hutt space where customer brawls are just part of the exciting backdrop.
Just as with Xavier, the guards will ask for your names first...

Galder- a little while later you are back on the ship. The person sending the message did not leave a recording and did not wait. Instead, there is an indication for you to make contact with the sender (unidentified) as soon as possible. Apparently you'll need to link into a particular comms relay network to make contact.

Relle- I'll allow an Observation roll to spot the right time to distract particular people on that basis. It's more complex than normal, so a Force roll for the distraction itself as well.

Okay, did I finish my game? If so, Gallador may try to socialize a bit with the players to learn more about their attitudes, in particular if they feel anything about Marik.
Unless I need to go to salvage the Xavier situation.

He asked where you are from, not where you were born, so saying anything other than 'Epireus' is either a lie or so vague that he'd just ask again to make you more specific.
Gallador is still playing and won;t get there right now, Xavier. I'll need a mover from you or you'll be arrested.
