SWSE: Scum & Villany [IC]

[Songdragon]

Off to a cantina bar in the area... have a few drinks and chat up folk to see what is known about Prello.

((Gather Information 1d20+7=19 Spending up to 200 cr to get some insight into the Hutt. Mostly, what she might like... and definitely what she does not like. ))

[sblock=Money Spent]Costs: I would say an easy 500cr. 75+150+200+(vids)+ a PS500 and a few basic games + delivery - 20% discount would get us a decent amount. For a total of 600 cr with the tip (reduced to 100cr considering we are only spending 500 cr). Unless there are objections?[/sblock]

As you walk back into Chalmun's cantina, you will notice a few more customers here than earlier.

As you start asking around about information, the bartender tells you that you might want to ask Oxbell over in the corner playing cards. Sometimes he has some interesting information to sell.

"Hu-mann, are you interested in playing some Sabacc?", the male devil looking Devaronian asks.

 

[Songdragon]

Standing before Oxbell Ava gives the male being an appraising gaze before she answers his query. The woman quietly speaks, "Perhaps. I have been told you sometimes know things and that information is for sale?" She slides into a seat across from the Devaronian. "I might be able to entertain a game, but my time here is limited."

((OOC: How do you do gaming? From the book it is joyous wisdom checks. ))

Galen remains at Ava's shoulder protectively keeping an eye out for trouble.

[sblock=OOC]Perception (1d20+1=20). Sorry cannot do much to help you with this RP actions.[/sblock]______________________________________

An Arconian slides over to make more room for Ava. Another human male signals a waitress for another drink.

"The game is sabacc. Four players", the grinning devaronian says, hoping to fleece the poor young human female.

As the card comes out, the bidding starts at 20, then the Arconian raises it up to 30.

OOC: yep, wisdom out of the Core.

 

[Songdragon]

Ava sits down and takes up her hand and assesses her options. She plays it safe with 30 of her own credits. "Hmmm... not so good, this round..."

Gambling Check... 1d20=5 ((Gotta love the dice... If you want to roll for me when you do the other players, feel free... Ava has a straight d20, no modifiers.))

 

[knightemplar]

The Arconian pulls in the chips. Oxbel grimices, as all the money he won from the human male earlier seems to be currently in front of the Arconian.

"Okay, lets try that again.", The cards are piled in front of Ava as she is now the dealer for this round.

"So young thing." as Oxbel licks his lips at Ava "What did you want to talk to me about? "




OOC: the top player is d20+4, the Arconian won with a 15. If you want to try to stack the cards as the dealer, its Dex check versus their Perception.

 

[perrinmiller]

Galen leans down and asks Ava in a whisper, "Do you want me to give it a shot? Or is losing part of the strategy to loosen their tongues?"

[sblock=OOC]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2695294/Galen has +1 from Wisdom and +2 for Deception or Dex to switch places at the table. However...
Not being really familiar with Sabaac except from a Star Wars audiobook, but I think it would be possible to assist Ava with a little cheating with UtF.[/sblock]______________________________________

Ava will begin to deal normally (no cheating at this point) as she mentioned her query, "I was looking for some information on a Hutt... Prello is her name. Mostly do to with her likes and dislikes, but if you have any juicy bits you might be willing to part with, we might be able to come to some sort of arrangement."

After dealing she leans back and says to Galen, "Not the plan, but if it works, I cannot complain, too much."

 

[knightemplar]

"Ah, Prello. She is not as easy to anger as Jabba. I deal with her before. What did you want to know.", Oxbell says as he throws 10 credits in the pot.

The hand goes around until it is time for the players show their hands, and this time Ava wins the hand and 150 credits.

"Ack, Lucky Huu-mann. Do you think you can buy me a drink, since my luck has gone away.", Oxbel says as he points to his dwindling pile of credits.

The Arconian says something in his own language which gets a disturbing glare from Oxbel. The Human sitting next to the Arconian starts snickering.
