Hayabusa's Dawn of Defiance: Chapter I: The Traitor's Gambit

[Binder Fred]

EDIT = Alright, this is not my night apparently. Ninja'd by Possum AND missed Songdragon's latest post. Sadly, no time for adjustments today. Back tomorrow, folks!

Back on the ship before Alderaan... "Sure." Mir says to Sloor.

Her opposite looks at her with some surprize, then chuckles appreciatively and thumps the board with a grin. "Your mawve, Sra."

Sloor's style is one filled with shows of force, false attacks and hidden stings hiding in seeming weaknesses, i.e. it relies heavily on the opponent not figuring out what he's really up to. «Using Deception and Persuassion +8

"Saw, you cawm here awften?"

[sblock=Rolls]1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=17, 1d20+8=22, 1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=18, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=26, 1d20+8=19, 1d20+8=23[/sblock]

Alderaan... Mir stops dead in her tracks and looks to Ylenic for several moments before regaining her composure.

The besalisk notices and his two lower hands casually drift behind his back, coincidentally near both hip holster and hidden stun knuckles...


«Perception Sloor and then TB: 1d20=6, 1d20+9=25

I hope your people can find salvation here and start life anew. Thank you for your hospitality. We will await for our audience as soon as it is convenient. I do not wish to keep you from more pressing matters that require your attention.

[sblock=Gambling]I thought gambling was Wisdom checks, unless there was something I was missing. Hence Mir's only +2. Her perception to any deception and the like would be +8 as well. However you want to do it I suppose.[/sblock]
Mir nods in a rather respectful manner towards Ylenic, "A nice home here indeed. Sorry to hear of your people's plight, it has been sometime since I have been back on the core worlds." She looks out standing behind Keyton.

Mack has some pangs of nostalgia looking at the scenery, but steels himself against such emotions. This in no time for longing for childhood days.

He is content to be silent and listen to others conversing with the Caamasi, playing his role as the strong silent type. Nothing yet on the tactical front for him to deal with. He will remain alert to his surroundings.

<<Take 10 for 17 on Perception>>

[sblock=Gambling]Sorry for not explaining it earlier. I figure Dejarik is a lot like chess: a complex game where you can bring your life experiences to bear instead of relying purely on luck and the wisdom of knowing when and if to bet (like, say, roulette or Blackjack).

In this case, Sloor is trying to tempt Mir into using her +13 Use the Force skill to win (or at least break even in this case) -- as compared to the crushing loss she would suffer if she relied only on luck (120 creds in Sloor's favor) as represented by the pure Wis roll (?). Makes sense? This is of course entirely consensual OOC. I figure we'll be having these games more than once IC, so let's take the time to build something interresting, right?

(By the by, I believe this would be the "Deceptive Information" use of Deception, a straight roll against Will defenses rather than an opposed Perception check. Don't know if that matter here or not... ).[/sblock]

Captain Okeefe disembarks the ship as the unloading concludes, watching as the techs do their jobs in case something goes amiss. "Make sure he gets the hoversled back, it was hard to get all four of his arms off of it during the trip," she jokes, not hearing the discussion about Caamas from her vantage point.

"Nice trip, Sra," nods the reassured besalisk, "Perticularly liked the lack awf shooting at dustawf: very well dawn."

Mir stops dead in her tracks and looks to Ylenic for several moments...

Mack, while taking in the decor, almost walks right into Mir when she stops dead in her tracks. He notices something amiss but only raises an eyebrow in question. Mir is likely too preoccupied to even notice that she almost got run over by the armored soldier.

The besalisk notices the exchange and his two lower hands casually drift behind his back, coincidentally near both hip holster and hidden stun knuckles...

...before regaining her composure. She continues on with the group, always looking toward the Caamasi. This is most, interesting, Mir thinks to herself.

...No beat-ups for today apparently. The besalisk resumes his walk, eyes more wary then before. What the freck did she *see*?

The Caamasi looks at Sloor, his long nose quivering somewhat. "It is a recent tragedy my friend," he says in a diplomatic tone. "Please do not make light of it. Despite your joking, you are correct, from what I hear from the few survivors on the surface I have had a chance to speak with."

[...]She looks out, standing behind Keyton.

Which leaves Sloor standing there like a fool.

"Ah..." he eloquantly states, his face is the very definition of nonplussed. "They did it fawr fun?" he finally manages, trying to at least get a handle on things.

"Very smooth," quietly compliments TB.

"Nawt helping!" breathes its owner from the corner of his mouth.

«Response Ylenic?

 

[Songdragon]

On the ship... Mir hands over the credits to Sloor (she does not use the force to alter her chances to win). She says in a good spirits of being a good loser, "Nicely played. It would seem I need a bit more practice before I play you again."

"Yeah..." Sloor smiles and scratches at the armored plates on his head: "Taw awbviaus?"

 

[Songdragon]

Aboard the ship... "Do not worry about it Sloor. You have probably been doing this for sometime. I only get to play now and again. Not too many boards, or power for that matter, out in the wilds." Mir says with a smile.

"I do not know their true reasoning, nor did they give it." Ylenic replies. "The official story is that there were several Separatist bombs on the planet that detonated, each of them extremely high yield. Most of those that I have spoken with have denied such claims."

 

[perrinmiller]

Mack observes wryly, "Official story, like we can believe that now can't we? It wouldn't be the first time a government covered up their dirty secrets by blaming their opposition. Still it's a tragedy either way." Mack's finishes reply showing sympathy over the situation.
