The Taris Event Chapter 2

[Dood]

@ Dood, Syric and Wailer congrats on being Captains at 200, 500, and 500 cr respectively.

[ooc]Please take the 500 for Syric out of the company till and the 200 for me out of my own wallet[/ooc]

[Blackferne]

The Corellian is wonderful, sir. And I apologize for my aggressive reaction. I prefer to travel in a manner that does not identify me as the heir to a fleet with half as many engines as the Republic - and that is the whole explanation for my rustic garb. I am limited by time though, so I will have to trust Mr. Daar to have me looking my best with stocked textiles in a short time. What say you, Mr. Daar? Am I stuck with a tailored-to-fit stock piece if I need to be off planet tomorrow? I would hate to be a travesty of style, but this new subsidiary is rather eager to begin their association with Fossar.

"Eh it shouldn't be too hard to put it together. With your measurements and cooperation I could have you walking out of in here in 5 hours maybe?" Daar says "We have several comfortable chairs if you don't mind the other gentleman's company while I finish his pants and then I can get working on your suit . I hope he hasn't offended you sir."

The older gentleman smiles with a slight nod. "I'm not in any great rush these days Daar you should know that. How about you take Master Inirv'E's order first. He has plenty of people to impress on behalf of Fossar no doubt. I'll stay for a stretch and keep you company. So Master Inirv'E, you seem rather excited about this acquisition. What sort of business is Aderbrent into? "

Wonderful, Mr. Daar. What price will I be looking at for the suit?

@Old Man
Unfortunately, Aderbrent is a joint venture by several off world enterprises now based out of Tattooine, and because of their... varied areas of expertise, I am acting under a temporary non-disclosure agreement. The most I can say is that Aderbrent and Fossar will collaborate on a very specific offworld exploration and recovery of a very specific resource. What business are you in, friend? You seem well read, and rather well dressed. Negotiations, perhaps? And I must apologize for not properly introducing myself. I am, as you have no doubt inferred, Cuspar Inirv'E.

Cuspar clenches his gills as Daar gets to work.

[gonna go ahead and roll another deception. I'm wary of this old coot. 10+7=17]
[also a perception roll. What else do I notice about him? 10+13=23]

[Whiteness]

Syric pulls out his commlink, "He So, how is the purchase going?

Maybe I have time for a quick hand of sabaac, the Cerean can't be the only lucky one in our group

@ perception roll he is an older gentleman, difficult to pin his exact age probably late 60s if you had to guess. He is thin, has an educated and sophisticated manner about him. He has a fine white linen suit on in the corellian single breast cut with a neck tie of simple black. His hat is white as well and on the table next to him. He has a gentle and friendly smile, quite charming in fact, but as you saw when he was poking at your pride can appear quite stern and harsh. In general he has a very strong sense of stillness about him. Difficult to explain, but you'd guess he would only raise an eyebrow at a Krayt Dragon bursting in, and that eyebrow would be merely to lay scorn at the disruption of an otherwise pleasant morning.

"Master Cuspar Inirv'E, it is my pleasure. My name is Nolan Tsont'ar. My line of work is rather specialized and difficult to explain in any sort of thoroughness. I think perhaps the best summary of my work would be as a problem solver. I solve problems for people with rather puzzling concerns. Your talk of the recovery of a very specific resource sounds much like a treasure hunt. That is the excitement of youth. No offense meant. Seeing the excitement in your eyes makes me reminisce in the adventures of my youth." He seems a bit blissful in his memory for a second. "Being no stranger to non-disclosure agreements myself I won't pry into your work any deeper. I'll just have to wait for the lost treasure of King Weentogo to be a headline on my datapad." He says lifting his slightly wearing a big smile. "So you said that you were here on leisure previous to that, I take it you were game hunting out in the desert?"

[Arrican]

Upon inspection you see that the Yellow trim one (5k extra cargo room) has fewer emplacement points. So the blue one has more totaling at 6 (standard amount for the vehicle). The doubel laser cannons are standard for the ship and are legal to own with license (375 credits at the BoSS office). The ships are able to fly now once the dealer restraining bolt is removed. Zeid is okay with your price offer and will let you take the ship off the lot once you have all appropriate permits and licenses. You are free upon purchase to work on the ship and sleep in the ship until you are ready to leave. Do you want the blue Dynamic Class Freighter?

"I'll take it.
to do the work do we have to take it off the lot? I'll cover the 375 credits out of my own pocket for the lasers. Or if the actual captain needs to pay for it I'll just give the cash to Dood.

[Dood]

Dood stretches and reaches into his jacket pocket for his flask of Vesuvian Brandy and takes a long draught. He offers the flask to Syric as the human waits for a response on his commlink and mouths the question, "Where's the Gungan?"

There is a restraining bolt preventing flight systems from activating. You can power up,power down, do most things. The weapon licensing fee is paid after the Ship's Operating License is acquired. The Ship's Operating License is done on inspection which will be tomorrow after Dood, Wailer, and Syric all pick up their processed credentials from the BoSS.

[Cuspar]

Cuspar is stunned at his good fortune. His clothing purchase was the first step in an elaborate plan regarding Fossar Shipping - but serendipity has afforded him a meeting with the third of the possible "employers" on Tattooine.

Ahh. Mister Tsont'ar. Your reputation precedes you, and I apologize for not knowing you by sight. My father made specific note to list you as one of the people to know in this sector, and he spoke rather highly of your services. It truly is a pleasure to meet you - and I do hope that with my spearheading of this initiative on Tattooine, there may be a future opportunity to collaborate. My new associates, as I said, have varied skill sets ranging from tech, to logistics, to exploration, and even security, and our hope is that this new arm of Fossar will be... far more... than a shipping consortium.

[How does Tsont'ar react to the description? Perception: 8+13=21]

As for my adventures on Tattooine, well, misadventures would be a more appropriate description. I came seeking some rib bones from a Krayt Dragon skeleton, for my mother. I'm not sure if you're aware, but Da'lin Inirv'E is one of Dac's finest artists - and she carves ornamental fishing lures out of the bones of the notable game of notable planets. To make a long story short, I overestimated the ability of an amphibian to thrive in a desert and found myself in a med center for rehydration. I was fortunate to cross paths with Mr. Frost of Aderbrent during my time of convalescence at the Dewback Springs Health Resort. He and his colleagues had met there to continue with their business plan, and, as they say on my planet, Some days, you look to sea and you see water. Some days, you see a Mon Calamari and a Quarren riding a Whaladon together and sharing in a feast of most fresh plankton. The rest just worked itself out - I saw tremendous ambition in this group, and made the acquisition for Fossar. So the leisure time became work time - but that IS the curse of business, is it not?

[OOC: Fuck I need a good deception roll here. 7+13=20. Not the roll I was looking for, but hopefully my sweetass modifier makes it work.]

[Blackferne]

@ Cuspar Your claim that your father listed him as a person to know in this sector causes a glint of surprise for just a second before he goes back to his gentle smile.

"Ah the elusive Krayt Dragon. don't feel to ashamed boy, that pesky giant lizard of the dune sea sings a sweet siren song to many an adventurer, and most don't have the good fortune to end up at a spa to recuperate and find a promising business opportunity like Aderbrent in the process. So it sounds like you are hoping to take the family business from simple cargo freight transit to new and exciting fields with the fields of expertise your new company has at it's disposal. How is your father taking to that? Excited I'm sure about big dreams from the prodigal son." Tsont'ar says with a smile.

Daar has you step down from the platform for a bit and runs in the back of the shop.

[Whiteness]

Dood stretches and reaches into his jacket pocket for his flask of Vesuvian Brandy and takes a long draught. He offers the flask to Syric as the human waits for a response on his commlink and mouths the question, "Where's the Gungan?"

With a smile and a nod at the Bothan's gesture he takes a drink from the offered flask before passing it back.

"I think I saw him heading towards the vendor area. Are there any other supplies we need pick up before we leave Tat? I guess we need to look into rations and the other mundane supplies we'll need once we get in space."

[Reese]

Klak stands by as the others get pilot credentials. No, he is not a pilot, nor has he any interests (or credits) to become one.

He watches Dood and Syric pass the flask back and forth. A drink. Now thats what I need.

He quietly asks the newly certified pilots "Don't you think its about time to go back to the Bantha? Im a bit hungry and thirsty. And I would like to look into those fights if we will be forced to stay here for a night or more. Its time I had some credits to myself, and a soldier of my skill could do quite well in the amateur bouts."

[Dood]

Dood retrieves the flask from Syric. He looks at Klak, pauses for a moment during which Klak is almost sure he saw a look of disgust, and then hands the flask to Klak with a big grin.

"We'll need to load-out the ship with rations, fuel, and probably some munitions. Until we hear from So, though, there's not much we can do."

Dood looks at the sky to determine the time.

Cuspar decides to pepper his deceit with truth, to try and get a sense of Tsont'ar's personality.
My father has long afforded me the opportunity to... indulge... my whims. I felt that it was time to recommit myself to my grand destiny - so the pursuit of this opportunity has been my own. I intend to surprise my father with a succesful enterprise. The risk is all my own, as well. I am fortunate that my father has always allowed me to represent Fossar Shipping. I desparately want to make him proud.

Perception: 16+13=29
Deception: 19+7=26 (Cuspar doesn't really give a crap about impressing his father)
[OOC - waste of nice rolls. Just wait until I Reese it up in combat.)

Tell me, Mr. Tsontar, are you currently seeking operating partnerships in this sector? I can't make any commitments until we complete our first forays with Aderbrent, but I do find you a pleasure to interact with, and, if we can mesh your needs with our gamut services, we would love to establish further clientele on Tattooine. I'm sure the gentlemen of Aderbrent would be thrilled to meet you and discuss what they could provide you with. It's serendipitous that we should meet this way, and in this context - and I find it a lovely reflection on the logistical support and networking that Fossar will use to make Aderbrent one of it's strongest holdings.

Cuspar is FEELING IT. He smiles broadly, appreciating the irony of how much he is enjoying a side of his father's business he always purported to hate.

[Persuasion: 18+7=25] [OOC - I feel like I should be taking screenshots of these rolls to prove I'm not cheating. Ridiculous run of dice!]

"I'm going to go pass some time with some sabaac. Maybe I can make enough credits to keep our Zabrak friend from getting too thirsty" he says with a wink before heading off for the casino.


[OOC - I'm just looking to play a few hands and make a few credits, not trying to get enough to buy another ship or anything. Daddy needs some new shoes!]

options for play:
You can tell me X number of hands at Y bet

You can tell me X bets until I win Y amount of money or lose Z amount of money.

Your current balance is 517.5 credits.

Your wisdom modifier is +2. You would be using the same payout tables as So Leet and Wailer did when they played because you chose to play Sabaac(game of skill not luck).

Dood's expression brightens further.

"I think I may join you."

Turning to Klak he says, "Come, my horned friend. Let us drink deeply of the whiskey and ale and see if Alvis smiles upon us today." As Dood cracks his knuckles, a wry smile comes across his face as he says, "I have a funny feeling he will."

[Blackferne]

@ Cuspar

"Ah the grand gift. What do you get the man who has everything? Another company! What a delight. Well like I mentioned before I am a problem solver. I happen to be in the area looking for qualified individuals of rare and unique talents who are able to accomplish dangerous work. I have a client who needs a rather delicate job done, and I'm prepared to pay 100,000 credits to a person or group able to accomplish this task. But due to it's nature it cannot be attempted more than once. So unlike a common warrant round up I can't just assemble a bunch of people to achieve this big task and let them loose. I am required by the need for discreet action by my client to find the best candidate to solve his problem. I know I am being vague, but that is as much as anyone needs to know about the end job. As a sort of test I have created another job that pays 30k upon successful completion and allows the candidate first right of refusal on the 100k job. But the nature of the work is rather dangerous, and I'm not sure your father would like you getting involved in the work. It could prove to be a stain on his reputation if word got out." Tsont'ar sips from his tea. "Oh I've been so rude, would you like a cup of tea Master Cuspar?"

I'll play using only 150 of my 517.5 credits, 20 rolls at 20 credits stop if luck shines and I get over 5K.

[Dood]

Following Syric, Dood stops abruptly upon seeing "Parsec Gaming" on the sign next to the door of the nearest casino. When Syric turns around, Dood shakes his head.

"I can't go in there. I have had enough time being an unwelcome guest for this month."

[Reese]

Klak drains the last bit of the flask, as he tends to do, and hands it back to Dood.

"Well i really have nothing better to do than watch my friends make some more credits. And besides a benefactor such as yourself could use a strong soldier behind you at the tables. You never know when you may need and extra rifle in a fight, and by Alvis so far you are helping me fight sobriety."

Klak now follows Dood wherever he goes, unless he is asked not to come along. He is feeling loyal to his furry friend for helping him out since he can't seem to catch a break and get any credits of his own. On his way to the casino he notices a flyer on the wall announcing the fights tonight. All semi-pro, no amateur fights. Klak can only think It is just my luck. When I am finally liquored up enough to fight, they go and change the game.

Noticing Dood stop at the casino doors Klak says "Well there is always the Dusty Bantha?"
