The Taris Event Chapter 2

@ Eli

With no rallys until the weekend, Takkata is probably a waste of time. I think we should check out one of the ParSec Casinos.

Cuspar asks around to find out about the casinos in town before leaving.

Gather information: Taking 20+7=27 [Taking 20 because how hard is it to ask pensioners questions?!]

I'll pay our bill out of my winnings before we go.

After we leave - "Probably a good idea, maybe we'll get lucky and we can run across some off-duty guards or something that we can eavesdrop on. So I was thinking about the second race, the blue one that won handlily. From what I saw on the racing form he's been dominating all season, and you can bet that someday down the line Kunga is going to clean up on rigging it for him to lose. But I doubt we'll be fortunate enough to still be around when that occurs. Also assuming of course we leave Kunga alive as well."

You find that there are a few casinos, all Par Sec. The largest has the sport arena attached where prize fights happen. You also heart that the Silver Star Casino has the best buffet for the credits, just stay away from the shellfish. It apparently gives one of the pensioners horrible gas. So painful. Now his friend has a stronger stomach and says it doesn't affect him, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Also they inquire if you are eating enough, have you found a good job, when are you going to settle down and meet a nice girl.

One of the goons looks in your general direction for a second, and looks you over and then goes back to bitching about guard detail at the compound.

Syric looks the goons over, finishes his ale and says "Hey, any of you guys like to play for a few credits? I've never played before but I'm bored stiff and it looks interesting. Hell, I'll even buy a round of drinks, what do you say?"

The 4 guys look at you and then one says. "100 credits a game?"

(Game works like this make 5 dexterity checks (1d20+modifier), the best of 5 wins)

[Blackferne]

It is now 7:30pm gametime.

[Cuspar]

@ Eli

Let's go to the large casino for the evening and see what we can find. I'll let the others know our plan and check in - but I don't think any of them are still allowed in ParSecs - are they?

Cuspar calls the others on Commlink and says that they are going to the largest casino, and asks if anyone not on ParSecs shitlist wants to come along.

Klak finally is getting irritated. The kid found nothing of any use. Klak was hungry and quickly approaching sober. By Alvis this would simply not do.

He walked up to So Leet to see where he was at in the search "What the hell is that on your screen? Rodian porn!"

Klak reeled back in disgust. Its not that he as averse to Porn, I mean, it is by the prophecies of Alvis that he came to amount as much as he could possibly gather. Its just that Rodian Porn is especially disgusting, the snout fetishes were not what Klak was interested in.

"Look kid, Im hungry, practically sober and we need to get back to the ship. You can look at your creepy snout videos when we arent in public. Or for that matter when it is appropriate to not have your pants on."

With that Klak grabbed So Leet and threw him over his shoulder. The squirmy kid didnt prove much challenge to the soldier. They walked back to the Sweet Dalia to meet with the rest of the organization. Klak reminded So Leet that he had a job to do and "I hope you found out more than just what types of Rodian strippers are on Bryx."

Once at the Dalia, Klak looks for more of Syric's whiskey and drinks his dinner until the group gathers. He does take a moment to send out a comm to the entire group "I recommend we gather to discuss what the creepy kid found and hear our next steps from our Furry Fuhrer"

[Dood]

Back at the ship, Dood and Bulwark check all of the information that's been sent in during the day. They exchange a look after Dood reads So's request for a letter authorizing the purchase of explosives.

"Do we even want to know - " Bulwark begins to ask, but is cut off quickly by Dood.

"No, I don't think we do. Still, supplies are supplies. If we can get some above-board, then there's no reason to refuse it."

Dood sets about creating a datacard with his authorization for So Leet to purchase explosives for Arderbrent's fictional new demolitions services. While doing so he finds records on the computer that indicate that Syric is now part of Arderbrent's other new services division, security.

When Cuspar calls in stating that people are heading to the casinos, Dood look at Bulwark and says, "Well, you can feel free to go. I find that I am rather fond of having all of my digits and other extremities attached at their usual places."

[Dood]

OK, so for clarification purposes...

It's 7pm local time on Bryx.

Bulwark and Dood are on the ship.
Cuspar and Eli are on their way to the casino.
Syric is playing hide-and-seek alone.
Klak is busting So Leet and his rodian porn fetish.

Am I correct here?

And I'm guessing order of events is:

Dood and Bulwark at ship, working on documents for So Leet. While doing that, Cuspar radios in casino offer, followed by Klak suggesting everyone meet at the ship. Is this correct?

[Whiteness]

The 4 guys look at you and then one says. "100 credits a game?"

(Game works like this make 5 dexterity checks (1d20+modifier), the best of 5 wins)

"That's a little steep, but why not, I could use the credits so I'll play a game. I'm actually looking for work, but gambling is more fun" he says with a smile as he orders a round of drinks for the 5 of them.

He then plays one game before receiving Cuspar and Klak's messages.


[ooc - where am I at for credits? Suit -150, shave kit-?, 1 ales at 1st cantina, 1 case of ale, 1+5 ales here, the 100 bet. Also, should I roll or will you since this is gambling?)

[Blackferne]

Yes. I have recently come to the conclusion I need to periodically prompt you guys with time so we don't leave gando in hyperspace til july.

Almost I think, except for below.
It's 7:30pm
Syric is playing darts
Klak has already busted So and should be on the ship

[Reese]

Klak walks onto the ship and dumps So Leet in front of Dood.

"You don't even want to know what he was doing or why hits pants aren't buckled. I just recommend burning anything touches for the next 24 hours."

He then looks around and notices its only him, the creepy kid, Bulwark and Dood on the ship. Klak growls a bit unapproving and takes out his comm again.

"Seriously everyone. We need to get back to the ship. I need a drink, and you all need to exchange the information you were sent to get. So help me, if I find out you are out at a casino wasting money and time. Didn't we learn our lesson before. I think its time to get on to the task we were sent here for!"

[Cuspar]

@ Klak

Negative, Ghost Rider. Cuspar and Eli are en route to casino to investigate. Non-banned members welcome to join in reconnaisance.

Somebody SAYS he is playing darts but I don't see credits on the table and dexterity checks.

[Gandolfini]

Yes. I have recently come to the conclusion I need to periodically prompt you guys with time so we don't leave gando in hyperspace til july.

Like that's going to help.

[Blackferne]

@ Team Fighting Fish (Eli and Cuspar)

You guys arrive at the Silver Star Casino which is teh largest and most reputable in the city. There are Parsec gaming signs by the door. As you walk in you see vid screens advertising the complex and the wide variety of games available to play. You see scenes of folks winning big at the jubilee tables, people playing sabaac and pazaak with idiot grins on their faces, people shopping and looking really happy, and plenty of delicious meals at the Silver Star buffet.

Walking around you see what appears to be a normal casino. Any particular areas you want to investigate?

[Blackferne]

Yes. I have recently come to the conclusion I need to periodically prompt you guys with time so we don't leave gando in hyperspace til july.

Don't roll a 1 with your fancy force checks and maybe a miracle will pop out of Slick's processing core.

at the start you were 805cr (after all the booze purchasing shaving kit, suit etc etc) You wager 100cr. The guy seems to be about as athletic as you in the finesse of throwing a dart.

"Wow that was close. What do you say double or nothing?"

[Whiteness]

"As much as I'd like to, my commlink's been going off and I need to check in with some people. I'm really hoping it's about a job, because I can't always count on luck. Maybe some other time though? If I don't get work I'm sure I'll end up here to find solace in the bottom of a cup of ale"

"You really gonna take my money without at least giving me the chance to win it back?" He says with a stern face. His friends who were drinking and chatting turn to look at what is going on.

Syric sighs,"When you put it that way, it makes me seem like an ass. Tell you what" he puts down enough credits to buy an ale "I have to hit the 'fresher, would you order me a drink for when I get back and we'll play one more game, double or nothing?"

If the goon buys it Syric ducks out the fresher window and heads back to the Sweet D.

Of the 4 goons 2 notice you trying to sneak out. I guess roll initiative.
