STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Thief

Started by REXXXX15 pages

The trio of alien smugglers- short scrappy reptilians- immediately begin jabbering in high yet gruff voices, rapidly and incessantly.

How is your Language skill?

2 for language and 1 for savoir-farie

Language is more the concern here, though a Savoir-Faire roll would help you figure out what they are. Going for both?

why not, sure.

also, i would like to use empathy in this situation, if you would please

Spending a point on Empathy? Who are you examining with the power?

oh, i didn't know it cost a force point, in the rules thread it didn't say it cost any points.

The majority of Force powers cost one point unless it says otherwise in their description (i.e. Scan can be used at no cost, or Staredown costs two points). Empathy costs a point.

Do remember that you start with 9 Force Points! You spent a point on Foresight, leaving you with 8.

mm... I'd like to roll for language and savoir-farie first, then see if i need to push it further

Alright. It is Savoir-Faire + Intelligence to test your galactic knowledge, and Language + Intelligence to translate what they are saying.

Two successes on the Savoir-Faire check. These fellows are Nergians, a race of fast-talking and short-tempered reptilians with a penchant for weaponry and for low intelligence.

Two successes on the Language check too. They seem to be bickering about how much they should charge you already.

"ill give you 2 thousand right now, you'll get the rest of the 10 thousand after i am safely at my destination" Haron says in Nergian to the bickering smugglers, as to put an end to the arguments.

They simultaneously utter an amazed "Ooo," as you have offered more than they were going to charge by a landslide.

They introduce themselves as Grop, Trop, and Brop, and ask why you are offering so much. Do you need them to do something besides take you somewhere?

"lets just say... there might be a fight following me," haron says, "but i may require your assistance in... my plans" he adds

Brop complains that that is too vague, but Trop punches him clean across the jaw and they start tussling.

Grop asks you what it is you're doing.

lol, hmm... can i use scan to find out why he wants to know the details, just to see if he is untrustworty? it doesn't cost anything, and im going to go with the force roll, instead of the forcepoint-override

This is something that you are very good at. You treat Force rolls as Easy, meaning you roll successes on 4s and up. As it is, you roll five successes.

He exhibits simple curiosity and skepticism- you have offered a lot of money, he wants to know what it is you want him to do.

hmm.... "im a buissness man that works.... behind the counter, if you know what i mean, and certain people may want to exterminate me" Haron lies

He doesn't understand.

"Im a thief" Haron says outright,"Im planning on robbing the Grand Central Bank, and i need an escape plan."

Grop smiles a toothy grin.

"Big prize," Grop says, in a hushed voice. "Why I believe you capable of dis? Much security! You go splat-splat!"

Kren chuckles at this comment, and says "im very... skilled..."
