USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE II (DARK SIDE)- In the Coils of the Serpent

She just doesn't like stupid questions.

Four that you can see, and they will kill you, so I would think of something else.

Oh STFU Takuan 😛 YOU were the one who made the dumbass comment.

Ah well. Bad lack Takuan.

Tanic, not bothering to watch the fight, heads back to the game, presumably while the Zodian is still at the arena. He tries to figure out how it works.

Well, beyond what you know, you couldn't tell THAT other than by taking it apart.

okay..i'm gonna use sense...to figure how many they are (based on theyr aggresiveness towards me) and where they're coming from. and i'm gonna lose myself in the crowd based on that info

And then where? You aren't going to escape her inside the Citadel. You likely won't even get out the Great Hall. No-one is going to lift a finger to help you, after all, and they'll be all around you.

heck..what am i on an interplanetary warrant now?..when did the news spread like this 😬
i wasn't even sure she wasn't kidding at first

Because everyone just saw her say it. People pay attention to the Lantarnans around here. Even in the best circumstances of an escape, how long would you last? And you would totally sink the mission.

You put yourselves forwards into this situation where if anything goes seriously wrong you are totally buggered. You can't fight or flee. You simply cannot take these people on in the middle of their power base surrounded by hostiles starting on their terms.

"Time for a bit of leadership out there," says Doon. "I'd go sort things out..."

errr...i'm a bit shocked by the course of actions here...i only asked a question afterall

You asked, in an insolent tone, a probing question to which she had already given you an answer, to a person you had been told that 'everyone was scared of'. A question to which you could not, if you had thought about it, ever had gotten a useful answer to anyway.

She didn't appreciate it. This is what she does with people she doesn't appreciate. Wow, it's almost as if the Lantarnans aren't very nice people, isn't it?

well...it's too late now no matter what i say.
it just seemes extreme that i'm technically out of this mission

No matter what you say? I suspect that's pride talking...

say OOC.
i don't even know what to do IC

I thought you were meant to be the smooth talker of the group?

that's what i was GETTING AT...i'm...discouraged

Then try again. Galder doesn't hit every time he swings his sabre either.

but doesn't find himself ambushed by a dozin goons if he misses

He might find himself having the crap beaten out of him by the Champ, though.

regardless...i seem to be put to the situation in which i either die or my cover is blown

The two amount to the same thing.

Like I said, talky, give it another go.
