USH'S STAR WARS GAME 2008- 'New Blood' (prequel for new players)

For a question for the Renegades is, seeing as you have no Council to answer to, how violent are you willing to be, beyond self-defence?

I've been thinking about this while doing his backstory. Sean will always try and do the right thing, but he will go as far as it takes to get the job done, stopping short of killing. He also believes that what he thinks is the right thing is more important than the job he's been hired to do.

Ogros is the leader of the southern-most tribe, furtherst from your mountain, and as far as Firak knows, Ogros is just a big bastard with ambition; he killed the previous leader three years ago and took his place. He's beyond the average leader [and he has a name, which inn gaming terms means he's no Mook);

As for the other tribal leaders, Firak fears that by default, more than half of them are on Ogros' side.

And does Firak think that the leaders will at least be open to our suggestions?

Sorry, do you mean Firak or Ogros?

Firak hopes so. He finds that you guys can be pretty persuasive if need be. There's another problem though- other than Firak and Ogros, only two of them understand Basic (the standard language). Firak can translate for you but your gnarly Force Powers don't work through an interpreter; other than that you need a good Languages skill.

Long story short- looks like a good template choice there!

I meant Firak.

Hmm, I don't know, only 1 in languages. Then again I don't know exactly how it works.

I think maybe we can use Orgros' thirst for power to our advantage though. So, them not understanding us, might come in handy.

Would lying and intimidation work through a translator? I assume if the the translator is convinced of the lie it shouldn't be a problem, but intimidation is a whole different thing.

Why is Gern angry?))

All Social skills through the interpreter will be treated as lower than they actually are.

-

Gern is angry as the negotiations are not going well!

Fair enough. So, I am in a group with HereticalDruid and who else?

Also, what is our own standing, I mean, what forces do we have or what could we truthfully offer the Epireans?

(I was wondering, could I bump the old Artwork thread, I drew a picture of the lightsaber Con uses and maybe later want to draw him as well)

You don't have any forces except yourselves!

As for who is with you, well, I am waiting to see who posts in the nexy couple of days or so!

And go for it with the artwork.

Good, good. Well I don't have any questions right now, so I will give it a rest until someone else comes.

Do you think it would be good if I included some sort of outline how I intend to play the character in my Background story?

Jedi

"Senator Gern, I understand your concern, I cannot garantee that the Minors Guild, or the Miner's themselves will be convinced by the talks, and with the threat of a terrorist attack- the minors will have to feel the sense of security. The Jedi's continued preasence will help the talks but this threat may throw the minors decision a little far from the Sarlaac's mouth." He walked up to Senator Gern, wondering if the threat meassage was something to take seriously. It was definately something of a matter of concern. "I understand your anger senator, I will ofcourse do my best to find an agreement that will suit the needs of as many as possible."

(this is the best I could come up with, but the the worst opening I have ever done)

Please do.

Who knows about the threat message?))

It was delivered over the airwaves from an unknown source, so basically everyone does.

(I shall wait to see how many post before moving on in time, as it were)

I say go for the godlike approach. Walk in like you own the place. Find what the hell is going on with Orgos.

Make the other people hate him, make them revere us, then kill him where he stands as the crowd of leaders applaud you calling for his head. 😛

Or something like that.

Incidentally, Xavier- continuity wise, you found the group during the same time period as the others; as far as you are concerned, why did you not go to sort the Epirean problem?

And I don't know. Going to quell a bunch of primitives that offered him no contest in battle would probably be beneath him. That and it didn't involve mass killings 😄

Can you PM me when we move on, or you post something related to to Denz, I may ask a few questions later on too... I'm gonna write down some important info and character names...))

Oh, don't worry, there won't be any arrogance missing.

Though I fear we might not be able to deliver, when the crap hits the air conditioning.

He annoyed us less, or something.

Funnily enough, I think Dak re-joined at the same time, too...

Anyway, Bardock...you've got a lot of social skills, and are very good with lying and being persuasive. Languages in this would probably go with Intelligence or Charisma, both of which you have pretty high, so I'd think that'd be less of a problem than for most of us...

Also, keep in mind you have Leadership. Could be useful here. Also Intimidation.

Maybe see if you can find out about how Ogros treats his tribe, if you can. You can always claim that he's trying to claim leadership over ALL the tribes and that he'd be a terrible, oppressive leader.

And yeah, killing them might be fun, but save it for if there's no other choice...we can't really afford to piss off the Epireans too much.
