"We shall see about that," Rand snarls.
"I have just escaped from Datura, tracing the footsteps of a man we thought dead. Larios Kuylen is searching for something ancient and evil, something that belonged to the Sith. I seek it now as well. So far all we have is myths and legends... but I feel we are onto something. Would you be interested?"
"That would not benefit us," Azarl says. "We have already done that with the tribes of Vudes. They no longer follow us! Leave the Epireans be for now. I will teach you all you need to know, and more."
Azarl himself is a compulsive learner. I feel his droid's problem compliments Azarl well. Cool concept, Ush.
"I am going to kill Rivas whether the Fellowship helps or not," Relle says. "Right now, we need help fighting his men and making sure we can get off of the planet once the deed is done. Tell the Elders that our need for assistance in a clean escape is important, and that I will do whatever they ask of me in return for their help. I know they covet my services as one of their greatest. They will be pleased to hear that their estranged agent wishes to be theirs again."

Don`t you want your ally to help as well? She is separate merit.
Rand would be willing to permit an extra complication. Find out what is the Arnians are willing to do in exchange for stealing from the Emperor's armory. Flying cover for our escape would be handy.
Ush- for carrying the large crates into the Palace that everyone will be hiding in, can we get access to some hovering carts or something along those lines? I figure we could use them again to transport Dak's weapons, if there's an armory in the Palace.
We should locate where we'd get weapons from.
Relle- well, if you are calling it as a favour, maybe something can be done... but you'll be obliged to pay it back at some point or lose the Tie.
-
Rah- you'd have to hack it to pieces; it only responds to Azarl. It's his Ally!
-
"Very well. What is it you require?" asks the droid.
-
Rand- you'd have to get them from Selene, I think, which would already be adding complications of stealing them.
The Mecrossans don't seem impressed as yet. They'll ask again what you want, precisely.
-
The more you look at it, Dak, the less you are sure it is practical. If you really do just want them to fight and die in your place, it really has to be for a target they can share in; killing Rivas isn't worth their lives. Hitting a separate arms dump would require, basically, you doing two entirely separate missions.
-
Xavier- what do you want Trax to do?
-
Note the extent of what you ask Allies and Ties to do is important; this is a good chance to remind that they are not enslaved.
Also, generally, the more powerful you seem to have made the Tie or Ally, the more restrictive I am about how much they will help you and for what reasons. his also comes down to you asking them to do appropriate things.
As an example, Rura is a mercenary. You want him in a big fight, he'll do it if paid
But an Assassin doesn't want to join you n a big fight- it;'s not what they do. Ask them to kill someone before the fight, or after the fight, or even when you don't intend to fight at all because the Assassin killed the guards for you, and that's their thing. The Mercenary wouldn't do that as he fights wars rather than covert ops; he wants back up and support and the like.
But is Trax willing to pick us up? That's the real issue.
If the Mecrossans are not interested in partaking in the battle itself, Rand will request that they assist in keeping their ships secure if the pirates try to seize them, or eliminate security at the starport so that we won't be barred access when we return.
