We will buy the strongest drink on Lanzar that Ososkans drink using our Sav-foure skill, then we will walk to the smallest group of Ososkans with the drinks and start talking to them and start to talk to them. We will use our social skills to get them to start talking about there world after they get some amount roused from all the drinks were going to give them (Let's say 5 per Ososkan). We will then proceed to ask them about the Guild and Mastadan. We will then proceed to ask them more intrusive questions as they soften. Good plan all?
(This may sound strange, but i have the sudden urge to blow something up, game-wise that is...)
How bout some type of cloak and dagger (without the dagger) but my seduction would be the best there and dont think youd find any Osokans that would be attracted to a human-appearing alien...
my lying wouldn't get very far as im clearly not a member of the guilds, intelligence gathering and espionage wouldn't exactly be my speciality. ('sigh', i wasted my points...)
Dont suppose that anyone else wants to take this up, gathering vital information may have to be gathered through less-than-agreeable methods, leagally that is. i have a feeling that this may be very important to our goals, think me nuts if you will but i have a hunch...
-(hey TPT, go the KOTOR sig! though it looks like mynocks in the background...)
Okidokey then.
Osokans are a surly lot, and you really need a good pitch to get much out of them (save the bartender, who is more of a talking point). So I am afraid you do not get much information other than this- getting opposition against Matadan was easy, because Matadan tried to introduce a tax on hunting revenues, something the Osokans you speak to find hysterically funny. Drakkon made himself popular by reversing that, though as they point out, a Hutt could have made himself popular here by reversing that, no skill involved there.
As for the traders- well, it seems pretty simple. What with the war, and rumours of Imperial intervention, prices for pelts and the like have skyrocketed. It seems the Guilds have been keen to get more money lately, so they are selling pelts to traders they know at a knockdown price, who are in turn making a fortune flogging them out to the Galaxy at large.
But there does also seem to be a suggestion that pelts aren't the only way to make money here- a few knowing winks and nods. But you don't get any further there.
That more or less takes up all your time in the bar, before Galahad is going to call you guys over to the main Guild Hall- or at least he will when he plays.
Ok, you're heading to the Senate, Galahad, that's the important bit.
It's incredibly busy in this building. Except for the large amount of Osokans- who around here are rather more definitely Hunters, carrying their distinctive neurowhips, rather than the normal Osokans outside- aides are rusing about all over the damn place. It's quite the hubbub of activity, and no-one seems to have any time for you.
Finally. you are recognised by a friend of yours- Senator Tremas, from Traken. "Galahad!" he exclaims upon seeing you. "What the heck are you doing in this mess?"
"My Lady," he says, bowing in return. "Are you observing as well? From Naboo? I can't think of anywhere that mnight be more shocked by the likes of this place. And, well, I know you take an interest in these things, Galahad, but you are here rather late into things, aren't you? Why didn't you come to watch from the start?"
"I do not find it shocking, per say," Sasha replies to Tremas. "I am Duchess Sasha Torvuellé, but I am sure you already knew. Lanzar is indeed very different from my homeworld, but traveling has always been a hobby of mine."
She nods solemnly when Galahad tells his excuse.
"Yes, they came to visit me on Naboo and stayed with me at Dee'ja Peak, then went out to Varykino in the Lake Country, a lovely place I purchased from the Naberrie family, bless their hearts. Lady Klinge-Faust most definitely needed the vacation."
