The Taris Event Chapter 3 OOC Thread

[Dood]

OK, ask Ro where he thinks we should go to find P'sont. We go there.

My guess is we're heading to Ord Mantell.

[Gandolfini]

Okay not to be pushy, but you guys need to figure out where to land. Gandolfini can't start on his new toon until Slick lands, and Slick can't land until you do. I'd hate for Gando to be sitting out too long. And yes I know maybe I should have thought about that before having half a dozen droids all focus fire on him.

It isn't that big of a deal. I just like to joke about how long it takes the group to come to a decision.

My 2 credits... Since Ro can't help find the Avalon, take him to Mr. T on Tat and get what value you can for him.

[Cuspar]

Well - we're working on Ro currently, so we'll see where that gets us.

If there are no objections, I'm going to send a message to Tsont'Ar. I assume he'll know that the shit hit the fan on Bryx, and he doesn't need to know that Ro'Talth is with us. Basically I'll tell him:
1) we fled Bryx when the Sith arrived
2) we were caught in a battle with Sith droids
3) we have found out that these are advanced droids with special processors making them so dangerous
4) we know WHAT makes these processors so special
5) we know that his currency is information, and we'd be happy to share this information with him in good faith that he will use his connections to try and located Mark P'Sont

Yes? I can do this plz?

If we literally just left Bryx, he might not know about the shit hitting the fan.
1) yup
2)yup - though he may ask how we got involved
3-4) Feel him out, see if he's aware of any advanced droids before we show our hand.
5)yup

[Dood]

We now have 4 options.

Corellia or Coruscant to track Pissant.
Tat or Ord Mantel to track the leuitnent.

Since Furiel already seems dead-set against anything not involving Pissant, that means that we have the options of Corellia or Coruscant.

[Cuspar]

Ok, I think we should contact Mr. T but I don't know if anything needs to be said about Ro. Maybe we can get his help on tracking the Avalon, P'Sont or locate Sargo's Coreilla operative.

/agree

1. Mr. Bron Junice - I am leaning towards him. As a semi-retired man he is not likely to be a power hungry exchange-ladder climbing type. We could also use So or Dood as bait (I think they're both banned?) to force a meeting.

Or use Bulwark, who saved him a bunch of money. Plan B.

2. Wrotall - Getting in on the Spice trade could be fun, but his nasty demeanor and dishonorable acts makes me not want to try to get in touch with him.

Agree. No need to go here, now. Plan D.

3. Oli Talsuki - She seems to have information and I like her as an option more than Wrotall

Plan C.

4. Montigue - He's my second choice so far, but I don't like the bit about his deviousness. That could easily make him the worst choice of the four.

I feel like So Leet and this guy might hit it off. He's a major player, seemingly, and most likely to be involved in the areas that are of interest to us. For me, this guy is plan A.


edit: I see Furiel posted a big post but I'm going to post this before I read his.[/quote]

Two teams? Just a thought.

[Furiel]

Funny you should say that Dood since I just posted the opposite suggestion in the IC thread...

My thinking is that Ro says he can help us if we go to Mos Eisley and follow the mineral lead, well conveniently Mr T is also in Mos Eisley, so we can do a 3 birds, 1 stone by heading back to the desert and turn over the droid info to Mr T, pump him for info on the Avalon, and have Ro still working on Jounville leads all in 1 city. It's like 1 stop shopping!!

[Dood]

And this is why I try to avoid being involved in the decision making process.

[Furiel]

So kinda off topic from where we are in the decision making process, but something I think we should do going forward...this is mostly directed at So Leet and our pilots...

New SOP request - whenever we land on a planet can we plot a micro-jump and have it preloaded into the nav computer, and the micro-jump only being a few hours in hyperspace, rather than 6 days, so we don't waste a week of time traveling to the middle of nowhere because we had to evac in a hurry.

Part of me doesn't want to go back to Mos Eisley, but I can't argue the conveniance. We could also get Bulwark to get his favor from Par-Sec now that Cuspar reminded me of it.
So that would be:
1. Get Mr T to get us info
2. Get Ro working on Pissant
3. Can give Ro up to Mr T if the need arises
4. Work the Par-Sec angle with Bulwark
5. work the mineral lead

[Furiel]

Other than Bulwark obviously, who actually knows that the casino director owes Bulwark a favor? And I ask that from a character perspective. I don't recall him sharing that with the group, and if he had I'm pretty sure that there would have been several characters rather pissed with him for it, so 1-3 and 5 are all viable, but 4 isn't unless I missed something...

[Whiteness]

So, can we iron out the details of what exactly we are going to do now that we are on Tat in this thread so we don't jumble up the other? We can assume this was all done in the three day flight.

1. Cuspar calls Mr T. - I think he is ready for that.
2. Ro gets to work - Do we keep him on the ship and have So Leet tie him into whatever systems he needs, ensuring that nothing he is doing is counter to our wishes or being traced
3. Get info on the mining operation
4. Bulwark can get his favor*

I think those are the main things, along with personal shopping if needed (i.e. ion weapons). We probably need a credit infusion, and maybe Mr T is the way to go for that as well



*It's going to be up to Bulwark whether or not he does this. He could have mentioned he was owed a favor without telling us how, but again that is up to him.

[Cuspar]

Is it possible that I contact Tsont'Ar while in hyperspace?

[Dood]

Nope.

[Furiel]

I think we split into teams. We have team Ro and team MrT. I think we have to let Ro get off the ship and pay visits to people, etc. but we don't let him go alone. I'd say we send 2 people with him, 1 sneaky type like Dood or Syric and 1 combat, me, Klak or Bulwark. Our people are in place both for Ro's protection and obviously our own as well.

Team MrT is obviously led by Cuspar. I would suggest So Leet perhaps accompany him with the technical data we've obtained and having some muscle there while I don't believe it's necessary, it's also never a bad idea to know when push comes to shove you've got a big dude in your back pocket to push for you.

Anyone not currently out as part of team Ro or team MrT stays with the ship to watch it and also to keep an eye on Ra'Wen.

I support this plan. We will take Eli on Team MrT - for muscle if necessary, and to give a first hand account of fighting the droids.

Also, if we're doing a live session this week, I can't do tomorrow night - it's my wife's birthday.

I like it, but would like to add a third team to gather information on the mining, although Mr T could also help point us in the right direction. I would go gather information, maybe with Klak or Bulwark, whoever isn't on the other teams. We could ask Fandango to watch the ship with Ra'Wen.

[Furiel]

I think however we split up teams, etc one thing we have to make sure of...Bulwark and Fandango are never alone on the ship together. I have a feeling that would go poorly for someone, and I'm not sure who exactly I'd bet on in that fight...

And I definately won't mind giving my recounting of the fight to Mr.T for their capabilities. Plus I can see, him being a former military man himself, if there are any melee weapons he is aware of or that the Republic has that are in need of field testing that are especially effective against droids.

Fandango vs Bulwark is tough to say because while he is harder to hit and in theory could deal more damage, he only currently has Ion Weapons so his damage output would be gimped.

Note to self: Fandango needs to go purchase weapons in case we fight organics.

I will be stopping at Fossar's office as soon as we land to look into Tordassium shipments. Also, if anyone has Physical Sciences Knowledge, we shold be having them DC about Tordassium and what it is a byproduct of. If we don't have anyone, then we need someone to research that (So?).

FYI Dood's new Gather Information skill is +13.

I was thinking another live session next week actually. What days are looking good for folks?

[Furiel]

Same as always, if it's after 8:30 I can do any night...

It depends. Will we be on Tatooine by next week?
