I agree with the move forward, we really seemed to be spinning our wheels after Cohlen gave us a the pep talk.

It happens. I just had a few operations question that might have helped. Especially since the first one that came to mind was not walking into the lion's den. Or wait until Breach team was in position to actually support Parley team.

According to the transition post, all teams were in position when parley team got out to negotiate.

With the other groups in position, the negotiators leave their speeder in the shadowed loading bay nearby...

The fact that Breach team is still traveling to our objective and we have the other fire teams being delayed means we aren't in position.

You're sufficiently close that no check is required to get there. I've worked it all out, and you will be in position. Remember this is Star Wars, the ability to keep people talking while a stealth team moves into position comes as standard.

True. I just prefer the past tense of 'moves into position'.

Also, Parley team, good job so far. If you can press him on tactics, accountability, and loyalty, that might help out.

And cause I have seen something like this before...

Rax is speaking a bit more than I intended, mostly since the grunts might listen to another grunt rather than an eloquent "diplomat". Zavvel is well beyond help, the issue now is getting as many of his men as possible to stay out of the shooting, when it starts.

Yeah, it is quickly coming down to how many dice ole Imperial Spy will get to add. The odds might be stacked against him, but lets see if we can even the number before shooting starts.

Unless Zavvel wants to go for a Rite of Combat between him and whoever volunteers.

Regarding Geoff's last comment: Issan isn't bringing that up because it could be easily redirected at him. Issan sequestered himself after the ambush and didn't help out with the triage.

Someone in the diplomacy team needs to make a social skill check now versus Zavvel's Coercion with a Destiny point flip (2eC+1eD).

I'll roll it with a destiny flip of my own. I assume Rax has been giving me unskilled assistance, but will I have any more boosts/setbacks to roll with?

Just curious, if/when the fight starts, what are the ranges and such? Will there be a surprise round for Breach Team?

You can have a Boost dice from the strength of your argument over Zavvel's but there's a Setback due to the men's loyalty to him.

As it stands, Zavvel is at short range from the negotiators, medium range from the infiltrators and long range from the vehicle pool.

*Flips dice roller over the table*

Toco is lining up a shot with his Blaster Rifle.

He is aiming at Zavvel and activating True Aim. He is also spending 2 strain to immediately gain a second Aim maneuver.

He will then maintain the aim until he shoots or is called off.

Do you need take the strain if you're not also taking an action?

No, it is more an in character thing. But he is trying to aim ASAP so he would spend the strain. Then if the shot isn't happening right away, he would maintain the lock.

Plus, not shooting at Zavvel the moment he sees him is really cheesing him off. ;-)

As soon as he has the shot lined up, Toco will alert the Talk Team that he is on target.

I would have thought he would have gotten another boost from Omek and maybe another for having the evidence on hand. Otherwise, it would seem like a wasted effort, especiialy on Imperial Spy's part since he brought it up.

That's a very good point. If Issan wants to roll another Boost due to the presence of evidence he can. In my opinion though Omek was a bit limp overall and didn't contribute all that much.

Then what was the point for Omek to be there? To have an ambassador on staff and be worse than useless is a waste of time and resources.

In addition, that also brings up the question: What would have happened had Issan not been there?

No problem, Rax would have handled things easily. Let me look up the character sheet for Rax real quick to see the extent of his social skills. Oh, wait...

I haven't touched the die roller in months, that is not my fault.

I also think that Rax's argument is a good way to get one more boost out of the deal. Having someone who is more than willing to fly into the jaws of death has to count for some people. Especially for anyone that saw the damage done to The Brick and heard Tookur's testimony.
