Doing his best to imitate the Zygerrian's voice, Brin yells out to the mechanic "Quit fooling around and get in here already!". Aware of the rifle in her hands, Brin motions to the rest of the team to get in position and to be ready to disarm her. He's hoping that yelling through the door will conceal any differences in their voices enough to convince the mechanic to enter their room.

OK so that will be a Deception check opposed by her Discipline (which is YGG) , so the base difficulty is RPP (1eC+2eD)

I'm going to add in three Setback dice because you only heard the Zygerrian speak one sentence and it was through a closed doorway. +3eS

I'm giving you two boost dice because you are saying it through a doorway and because you have similar facial features to a Zygerrian. (you dog face you) +2eB

So because of your rank in Convincing Demeanor it looks like you're at:

2eP+1eA+2eB+1eC+2eD+2eS

Lol, dog face, eh? I knew this mug of mine was good for something.

I'm going to flip 1 destiny as well to upgrade my deception once more.

Before I roll, I'm also gonna ask for a rule clarification on Smooth Talker - because I have one rank in this... each individual triumph can be spent as 1 success, is that correct? So I could spend two triumphs as two success at rank 1 where it would be 4 success at rank 2. (Just checking)

Deceiving the Mechanic : 3eP+2eB+1eC+2eD+2eS 1 success

WELL... guess it doesn't matter at this moment! But that was a success anyway! If only just barely! XD

After we see the results of this, I'll post something IC.

LoL guess I was expecting a more interesting result.

Well you see her stiffen up and look at the door. She stammers out a "Yessir" and looks at the gun in her hands as if trying to decide what to do.

(She needs to wait for her next turn to act)

Another player slot is next. Who's up?

With Smooth Talker and similar talents, you may spend a Triumph to gain a number of success on the roll equal to the number of ranks you have in Smooth Talker.

1 rank w/ 1 triumph = 1 succes

2 ranks w/ 1 triumph = 2 success

Yeah , in one direction or the other, I definitely did not expect that result!

At this point I think we're either in reaction mode waiting for someone to come to us.

We may be able to, assuming she'd be happy to turn on the slavers and I think that's an easy assumption from what I've observed, we may be able to get her to radio in an "energy discharge" from a blown junction box that would explain Mr. Twisted's sensors going off. But we'll have to wait until her turn to find out.

Khaine is going to post up at the door with his blaster pistol on stun and wait unless someone else has a good idea. We should have a couple of minutes before any patrols reach us so there should be time to convince her.

I volunteer S'zish for the last PC slot.

Fzaexx can stall a slot I guess. He'll simply try to get more information on the guards (how many more appear, where their leader is, if they're coming toward the PCs, etc).

NPC - Casea moves to the rifle and equips it (two maneuvers)

PC - Tox moves the body and equips the whip and comlink (two maneuvers)

NPC - Guards (minion group) move prisoners into cells and lock cell doors (two maneuvers)

PC - Brin takes comlink then deceives at Casea (maneuver and action)

PC - Khaine readies at door and gets his plaster pistol ready (I'm gonna call that a maneuver to move into position and a maneuver to aim)

NPC - In the hold below you the receptionist is gathering the patrons together and telling them to remain calm (maneuver and Charm check)

Alsen charming the patrons : 1eP+1eA+2eD 1 failure

It seems to be ineffective.

PC - Fzaexx monitors the feeds and relays the info to the party through their comlinks. (two maneuvers)

PC - Neelig? @Weedles and Fries What do you do?

NPC - ?

PC - S'zish?

NPC - ?

It occurred to me that if we did want to take the offensive, now may be the best time. The prisoners are being put away so there's less of a chance of them getting in the way and several of the guards are going to be busy for several rounds at least trying to herd the prisoners into their cages.

Shall we continue the sneaky way or go full bore and take them out? I'm good either way.

We'll get what information we can out of the mechanic first. Might help us distinguish targets from hostages? Yeah, I'm down though.

Maybe @Weedles and Fries should grab her (Maneuver?) and convince her we are the good guys (Action?)

Oh, it would be much more than a simple maneuver to"grab her".

It's actually been some time since @Weedles and Fries has posted. Perhaps we should decide what to do.

May just have to play through until he's able to start posting again like we did before :\ give him until the end of today I suppose?

I was hoping the surprise of her seeing an Ithorian beckoning her to come in and talk would be easier than dragging her kicking and screaming. I needed to be more clear in my word choice, sorry!

Grab as in grab her attention.

Let's do that.

it's all good, she should already head into the room on her turn because of my deception I believe.

I'm right there at the door ready to plug her on stun if need be, but I'll have my gun down at my waist and my finger to my lips so she knows we just want her to be quiet.

I'll also adopt a friendly stance (crouch?).

I suppose he could try that. He's not the best at charm; what kind of check would I be looking at?

I was hoping your species could get you a boost, combined with a boost for all of us not being jailers when you talked to her.

Khaine's pretty suave too. Have you seen my new SWSheets profile pic? What girl would swoon over that?

Tox has seen better on a Bantha M ilk carton.

That depends entirely on what you do and say. Describe it and I'll tell you if there is a skill that you need to roll and what the difficulty will be.

(glad you haven't left us btw)

More than likely he would bluntly state his desire to free his herd and by extension help free the others as well, though first he would probably grip her around the mouth as soon as she walked in and bring her to the wall (though not forcefully even though his voice would still have a bit of an angered undertone underneath his attempts at a cool collected and brief explanation given the circumstances. His tone would try to be quiet, deep, and soft but that anger would still tint it a bit.

And why would I want to leave a PbP such as this?
