USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (DARK SIDE)- The Way Back

They're certainly not immediately near, Rand. And yes.

Well, there isn't much to actually discuss, since we're not giving them money. The only thing left to do is kill them, unless I forgot something.

Which means I've got to figure out exactly how to go about sneaking into and through the Bureau HQ in order to disable the transmitter....hmmm....arg. Going to be tricky. I need to work on this a bit.

Then work on it! I say you three scale the building and take out some vital parts of the actual transmitter with your lightsabers/guns/bare-hands.

Galder tenses up a bit, anticipating the quick fight to come.

Yeah, too bad Ush said we'd need explosives, which we slightly don't have, to take it out 😛

Then scale to a floor that has the transmitter controls and mess THAT up.

That was mildly the idea -- find the control room and at least take it out temporarily.

However, finding the room from the outside probably is going to be a pain in the ass, especially if Gallador's not with us.

Is the plan to kill them now, Rand?

Hmm...

"So, will you be loading it before or after we pay you?" Rand asks.

"Show us the money and we'll start to load up," he says.

Maintaining Iron Will...

Rand will see if the Neimoidian quartermaster would be useful in persuading them if Rand should put him under threat of death or injury, using Empathy.

No, he's just the bent person they know.

Damn. I was hoping for an impressive scene of choking the quartermaster...

Rand strokes one of his tentacles, then reaches into his robes.

"How about this..." Rand says, retrieving his lightsaber and holding it in his hand. "If you serve us well in loading the generator, we will allow you to live. Do not even think for a moment that you can survive an encounter with us..."

A Master (template, anyway)'s 'common sense alert' at this point tells you that threatening them BEFORE they have unlocked those impressive systems that Tanic and Gallador spotted in advance for you gives them more power in this situation than you.

Oh...

Rand paces a bit.

"How about we talk about money after we see our generator?" Rand asks.

(some persuasive skills from Takuan would be nice...)

"Now, why exactly do you not want to just show us the money?"

"Because perhaps I did not keep it on me, for precautions that our master stresses," Rand replies politely, a charming grin on his face.

You are going to tell them you don't have the money?

*sigh* No...

Is it possible that we could kill them all and not the quartermaster and get him to open it?

Otherwise, I need to go back to Ideas R' Us...

Yeah, they're really going to open it for you after you kill everyone...🙄
