STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Theft at Electric Court

Gallagher makes sure that Korth sees the Crzkzi before moving toward him together, happy to see a familiar face, even if it belongs to someone he is newly acquainted with.

Cazzr greets you with a subtle bow. Korth returns the gesture, hands folded into the sleeves of his robes.

"I trust you slept restfully," Cazzr says.

"Quite," Korth says. "It looks as though everyone has gathered already."

"The Senators arrived in a timely manner."

Korth nods, observing the crowd, then looking to you.

"Do you recognize anyone, Gallagher?" Korth asks.

Can Gallagher make a roll on that? The answer is probably not unless Gallagher has spent some time around the Senate.

It would be Intelligence + Savoir-Faire.

I could try rolling off the stat? Gallagher is in short supply on skills.

In that case, you do not. You might mentally note that you do not see the Thespian Senator in the room, but you do not recognize anyone else.

"You should get to know more of them," Korth says. "They run the Galaxy, after all."

"So they like to think," Cazzr retorts.

"What do you mean?" Gallagher asks Cazzr. "I thought the Senate controlled everything in the Republic."

"They control policy," Cazzr says. "But not everything."

Korth gives him a scolding look, to which Cazzr just gives his slight smile.

"Now," Cazzr continues. "Allow me to show you about and familiarize you with the attendees..."

Cazzr begins to lead Korth off... but something has grabbed your attention, Gallagher.

What is it?

Your attention is being drawn to one of the banquet tables.

Gallagher will slowly approach the table and see what is that interests him.

Two Czrkzi are sitting together and talking at one end of the table.

Can Gallagher try to get close enough to listen?

You can. If you want to do so without being noticed, it is an Intrusion roll.

I don't have Intrusion, can I use Presence to try rolling anyway?

Certainly! You focus and try to mask your presence...

... and they turn to look at you immediately, confused by the young boy in white robes standing nearby.

"Can we help you?" one of them asks.

"Oh, sorry," Gallagher says, probably awkwardly. "I didn't mean to interrupt."

"You're one of the Jedi, aren't you?" one of the Czrzki asks. "I sensed you touch the force field."

"You did?" Gallagher asks. "I didn't know you could do that. Yes, I'm a Jedi. Just a Padawan."

The Crzkzi laugh at you.

"You are still learning, then, that everything is connected to the energy field..." one of them says.

A basic tenet of the Force! Doh! Still, forgetting that the Czrzki are all mildly Force-sensitive is not embarrassing as it is a very rare phenomenon.
