"What's to know?" says Anaz. "I went to school at the Sanctuary until I was 18, when I went to the Academy on Charnel. I inherited when my cousin's father died some ten years ago and have been the Voivode of Antanon ever since. There is not much call for the use of military forces these days; pirates tend to look for easier pickings than Tasker's Crown. Still; tensions are rising.
"Now, why this interest? I don't feel a burning need to know all about your career; you are a senior Jedi Knight and that's all I need to know."
And as I cannot see Gallagher doing anything else...
Gallagher goes for the block, but with a -2, Twain slips past him! The Blue droid blocks the Red droid, and Twain has a clear shot... and a score!
A klaxon sounds as a point rings up for the Blue team.
You now have one round to move before the ball spits out again!

Andro reacts instantly to the ball drop. He dashes into the opponent's third leading with his stick, intent on being the first to get the ball.
(I'll move into their third, knocking their droid senseless if it get in my way. If you guys keep going while I'm at work, I plan on getting the ball and shooting for the goal immediately if I do. If that droid beats me to it, I'll Tackle him. Have fun!)
Gallagher, then, hangs back as Deel and Varm both back up. Fast as Andro is, he cannot prevent the blue droid scooping up the ball.

Varm moves to block you, Andro, but you are too quick for him. The Blue droid attempts to pass down, and though you just miss the tackel, you totally mess up his shot, leaving the ball bouncing into the centre third.

Cassillis crew want to move to negotiations?
(Andro will bound right after that bouncing ball. He wants that ball! So he;ll move into the center third and try to gather it. Unless the red droid gets it first.)
Andro spins immediately as the ball goes sailing into the center of the court again. He yells at their droid in the center. "GET THAT BALL!"
After a brief flurry, it is Deel who gets the ball! Varm attempts to block you, Andro, but you outrun him.

Negotiations start at the stated time, out in an exposed tent. Skorzney is there, of course, along with two other senior ministers; the Venerable Z'Har snoozes moodily at the back.
When the Rebels turn up, you see a contrast. The Z'Har all dress in sharp suits, but the rebels are all in casual gear (that seems a bit tattered now).
But Volun- for his bearing and presence gives away his presence as leader immediately- is dressed differently again. He is wearing worn travelling gear. In fact, Roan, you note immediately that he is wearing a black sleeveless jacket like they wear on Corellia, and he also wears a utility belt with carries all sorts of knicknacks. His earrings are from what you believe to be an intentionally primitive culture from the far side of the Galaxy.
He is certainly not like any Cassilian you have ever seen.
You Jedi can either stay for the negotiations or continue talking to people.
(OK, you're messing with Andro now, aren't you. wink1 Well my TACKLES haven't been doing carp for us lately, so I'll try a BLOCK. Block with extreme prejudice, that is. boxing )
Racing past Father Varm, Andro plows on toward Deel Twain, trying to get there before he can shoot. "Droid! Tackle him!" Andro yells at the Red Droid in the center, hoping to further complicate Twain's life.
