USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (DARK SIDE)- The Prisoner of Datura

The problem is that you are professing to be on an active job- carrying a gift. You would not have done that unarmed. Any reason you come up with would be stretching it for one, effectively impossible for two.

Carrying weapons would make bringing the gift more difficult or it could damage it?

This is very urgent matter so we "forgot"?

I don't think they'll go for it.

Unfortunately Azarl doesn't carry any melee weapons.

Maybe the key to this is changing our story- not gifts but maybe just moving something that's already been in the palace and alright.

In any case, I think we've already fluffed it with this guard. Rand will go with his original Persuade spend pitch so that this one doesn't call his commander.

Ok, back to business!

No point trying to find an angle, Gallador- I said it was impossible! Two guards not having their weapons cannot be lied out of, I am afraid.

Force point on Persuade gets you through, Rand! But there's a time limit before you meet the next one...

-

Rianna and Dak... you guys are feeling pretty exposed, and no sign of the team yet...

But Ush, you said that there was a really obvious reason for not having weapons above!

Whar about simply lying weapons out from the armory?

What I said was that there was a solution to your issue, not that there was an acceptable reason for both guards to be unarmed.

Going to the armoury will take time and it is likely very secure.

What kind of locks are on these cases?

I was thinking if we can quickly undo the locks and then blend back in with the crowd, so that they can easily be opened and our weapons retaken with the Force when everyone else arrives...

I don't believe the solution is to get weapons for ourselves, then.

Rand is ditching his gun holster in the mean time. If he can, he'll just shove it into one of the boxes.

"We need to learn to stop relying on those idiots..." Dak says to Rianna quietly.

Observation for a description of the cases, Ush? Locks, materials, whether there's any security tech that can be switched off with a good Fix-It roll.

Relle keeps egging on the fight.

Also, see of there's anything else we can use in the cases. Anything interesting. Or Kuylen's lightsaber even, since we didn't find him on Datura.

Is the solution to reveal that we have captured dangerous enemies of the Emperor? It should get us into the Throne Room and using this distraction the other group could get us sabres.

The locks are electric. Tricky Fix-It rolls to get in. Alarmed, too.

Yes, you can recover Kuylen's lightsabre! Lots of interesting stuff, but in lots of different cases so it is tricky.

-

Gallador- captured them without you weapons, eh?

The whole guard deception fails on the weapons front and there's no argument around it. It would got you through the gate but not into the throne room.

Okay, so perhaps we should return to previous disquise and claim we have technical equipment to deliver to the Throne Room for Emperor's broadcast. Either this or get arrested.

Still, I understand that Subterfuge power allows for every lie to be believable.

Unless it can be directly contradicted. You can't tell people it is night when they can see it is day. It's not hypnotism. A pair of unarmed personal guards is too far.

Well, the issue is that we don`t have these laser pikes right, because I would assume that "stealing unforms" would also mean stealing handguns.

It would not work if only one of us pretended to
be a guard?

Ah!

Well then you would have to explain why there is only one guard (who forgot his weapon). Which is still very hard.

We could pretend to be Personal Guard and simple do not allow ourselves to be questioned, but they do have different uniforms, right?

I understand that the problem is to get to the Throne Room without interrogation by the Personal Guard. I am not sure pretending to be doing equipment delivery will allow for this given the paranoia of these guards.
