Thats given me an idea...
How about Rah sings another song somehow including a fable of an ancient mysterious artifact that sounds strangely enough like the missing tablet. With Tanics help maybe we could convince Vigo to show us it...
There problem of singing of Siva Lantarnas (I know I have mixed it up, but it is Lantarnas singular, Lantarnan plural) is that you don't actually know that much about him. Those of you with good savoir-faire ratings know the legend, those of you with good savoir-faire AND Jedi Lore ratings know he tangled with the Sith, but the details are specialist knowledge.
Finding out about Siva is a viable objective, btw.
err...i had a hallucination?
okay..i could get galaldor and rand upstairs as a distraction..and if you said the ones upstairs can come down....then one of rianna, rah or tanic could come down and allow me to go up as well.....even if only to distract the guards as i pass by.
the most useful inof we have on the latarnans is their relations with eachother....we must probably use this sometime.
as for the citadel..we know these guyz don't want it to be found. So we have a small leverage..as long as they don't kill us
Not really! Don't fret too much, they were only tasters; if it was anything important I'd give the reference. Tanic and Takuan haven't actually had clues.
Rah's idea about trying to expose the tablet might not directly work, but trying to get info on the tablet itself is a good idea. You don't even know where it is yet, and that is quite basic.
Let me ask a straight question- which of the Lantarnans do you think might be actively useful? And which of them are purely obstacles? Without having met him, Rah is trying to make use of Deva, on the idea that he is interested in more sophisticated tastes. Having not met him yet you cannot make a full judgement, but what of the others? What do they want? Can you use that?
Trick is worried about security on the tablet. This is a viable worry. Those of you with Intrusion (to avoid) and Fix-It (to disable) could by pass that- IF you knew what you were up against. Information is key, teamwork essential. BTW, you all have secure communicators- not everyone traces your frequencies as routine, like the Bureau does.
Or maybe you WILL just smash and grab- in which case, can you secure an escape route?
Once you have a plan, go with it and make it work. You might want people at every level- some, or even one, procuring the tablet, someone disabling the security, someone as lookout, someone securing your escape route, someone acting as troubleshooter, someone as decoy, somone setting fire to the armoury to distract the guards, someone as a bodyguard... any or none of those, depending on the plan, working alone or in groups.
Obviously you can't do specifics until you know what you are doing- but some of you (like the leader, hinty hinty) might be wanting to think in advance about who should be doing what. This is the most planned operation you have done yet, and it will be you alone doing it, no-one else.
