USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (LIGHT SIDE)- Harmony

What about the yeomen? Gallagher will check one of them as well.

Hmmm, perhaps a use of Empathy here? Or stick with the scanning?

Gallagher I say that maybe you should warn Thea or prompt her to assert her rank again here. If they're hesitant about drawing.

The Yeomen are very emotionally conflicted and also scared.

"The Zaari are hesitating," Gallagher warns Thea, "but I think they're going to draw..."

"Stay close to Thea," Jelena says to Wentar, knowing that both she and him have some talent for protecting others. She is ready to move to the Lady's defense should the Zaari decide to start shooting.

Wentar nods and shifts to within bodyguard range of Lady Thea, unless he already is.

Xeth starts eying potential surfaces for the Zaari to wall-walk upon, anticipating the firefight to begin.

You don't have time for a discussion about it. Someone needs to take an action or wait for events to unfold.

((Erm, act or wait...

Aw hell, either way this is going to lead to a fire fight, may as well make an entrance.))

After a moment of hesitation Wentar steps forward, in front of Lady Thea. "This is a Lady of your world! You cannot deny her her rights!" He shouts, in his best grasp of the language. "To do so would end in disaster!"

((Sorry if this ends badly guys. I just figured it's better to try and do something then regret not trying anything. Would this be a Persuade? Intimidate? Or Royal Screwup?))

Well, which skill do you think it is when yelling out loudly in a tense situation where either side might be about to open fire?

Persuade it is not! Nor is it the most diplomatic of options...

Ah... damnit. I just thought is needed a little push...

Well the Yeomen at least, can't understand us.

Ah, this is why I invested in Leadership and Presence. Oh well. that what I get for being knocked down and out.

You can act.

My opinion, but as noted I'm the only one in this 😛, is that Thea should ask to get through while we should keep ourselves silent.
No need to yell or fiddling with your sabres, it's not something that radiates "we wanna have peace!".

If something must be said, it is best to convince the Zaari why we are right in doing this. If they can come to understand our orders and understand that we will make sure they are not punished for not following orders by letting us through, they will be more helpful.

Gallagher has already established that doing nothing makes it a fight.

So Thea will just be quiet?

Thea already spoke.

"Esteemed residents of Thaos, this is not how things need to be. We do not wish harm upon you. The degradation to violence is in your hands, not ours. Our wish is only to pass by and allow Lady Thea her full apportioned rights.
Prudent individuals such as yourself must understand that despite our status as outsiders, and the disagreement between the Ladies, there is no real need for violent action. All we wish to do is enter the chamber and allow Lady Thea to speak.
However, if you continue to refuse I must appeal to your rationality. You have seen us separated, disjointed and fleeing. Yet still we survive. We do not wish violence upon you, but if you fire upon us. If you initiate violence, we will reciprocate in full force. We do not wish to cause this loss of life, this tragedy, today. But we will not hesitate if you initiate it.
It is within your interests to stand aside. Stand aside, and observe. Then act. Prudence dictates that you side with they who you percieve to be the strongest. Let us enter, and observe the proceedings before making your decision.
You fell upon me and my kin upon our arrival to this planet. We had no ill will towards you then, and we still do not. Look around you, See the planet you inhabit. Your population decimated by warfare. A cycle of violence has torn your cities apart, do not instigate this cycle again."

You don't speak the language well enough for anything that detailed- and in any case, it is ]way too long. Also very threatening.

That's ruled out Roan. Any other takers?

Jelena will try her hand, since she already has developed a good grasp of the language.

"Please, stay your hands," Jelena says. "There is no need to draw on us, for we do not wish to draw on you. We have been painted as invaders come to conquer your world from our Republic. We are not. We stand by Lady Thea because she has shown us leniency and kindness. I implore you, stand down and allow the Lady to speak before the Assembly. We need not fight!"
