@Bellona , I was waiting for someone to answer Sienna's question. Do you want Aleena to field that, or should I have Cadena answer?

I'll have Aleena say something, but I just need to pull the threads together first.

.. +1 Setback to Barda for this encounter (failure) but she doesn't need to make any more Fear checks during this encounter (Triumph*), and the next three characters to make a Fear check gain a +1 Boost (3 Advantages)?

This option does make the most sense.

So, do any of us speak Jawa (Barda? She's mechanically inclined and has travelled before), or is their language one that is "understood but not spoken" by other residents of the GFFA?

(Like Shyriiwook and Huttese.)

Barda would be the logical choice.

I would say yes , based on all the canon depictions. (plus the Mandalorian, they were able to speak it as well..)

@RuusMarev

Shall I roll for Aleena using Charm to gather information from the Jawas, with Barda as unskilled assistance (+1 Boost) because of the need for reliable translation?

Sure!

Difficulty?

Average, they are pretty friendly

Aleena sweet talks the Jawas ...

She uses her Kill With Kindness 1 talent to remove the fear-related Setback, and adds +1 Boost from Barda (translation/unskilled assistance) and her FR (Influence upgrade) ...

"Tell me everyting, darlinks": Charm w. Force, unskilled assist., +/- Setlback : 1eP+2eA+1eB+2eF+2eD 2 successes, 3 threat, 1 Triumph, 4 Light Side

... I was about to use the Smooth Talker (Charm focus) talent to add another Success, but instead I think that I'll use that Triumph as per the RAW ...

Final Results (using 4 LS pips to add +4 Advantages) : 2 Successes, 1 Advantage, 1 Triumph.

Both Jawas are affected (1 Advantage for the second Jawa), one will help Aleena for this scene and the next one (2 Successes), the other one becomes a recurring NPC who is now predisposed to assist Aleena in matters like secrets/better prices but not joining the crew (Triumph).

"Super-Helpful Jawa on Kiev" needs a name ...

(... I think that Barda is now trying to figure out how to adopt Aleena into her merchant family ....)

Aleena accidentally promises to adopt the younger Jawa in exchange for assistance, and now we have a loyal companion NPC.

Yeah, I know. We'd have to ditch him somewhere.

GM counting on fingers..(Geeze how many NPC's are we getting here.. although...a mischievous Jawa could be fun.. )

@Bellona did you want to say anything specific to your enthralled Jawa's?

She wants to know what happened here, i.e., what happened to the spaceship, its astromech, and its pilot. Also any information on the scrap yard and the old guy at its gate.

Ok, did you want to RP?

(Sorry, RL has been busy lately.)

I have no preference one way or another.

If you want to RP it, then I'm more easily available between 21:00 and 24:00 C.E.T. for a faster series of exchanges than really slow 1/day replies (which is more likely in other time slots).

sorry, didn't notice Bellona's edit.

@RuusMarev

Do we have a physical description of Gala or - even better - a picture of her on the datapad briefing?

There is a description and photo in the mission brief; Early 20's pale skin, silver-blond hair with a wide braided "mohawk"

That looks like the world's messiest French braid to me.

@P-47 Thunderbolt @Bellona so, splitting the party? (who's going where?)

I was thinking of two going into the scrapyard for information/buying a replacement ship, and two going to investigate that rock outcropping which the Jawas pointed out to us.

Aleena to the scrapyard, Barda to the outcropping?
