Well, my strength in questioning people is that I get bonuses on rolls when talking to people who're criminals, because of my reputation. Otherwise, I'm no better than the others, and I doubt Osokans are going to care if I'm a bounty hunter or not.
I'll go back and see if I can find where the conversation dropped off, see if I can continue it from there.
(and thanks for the comment about my sig, Melkor....very appropriate it currently is!)
