OOC THREAD FOUR....

[Monsieur Rose]

Ok. Let's add a pip to his hide/sneak.

[max_vale]

Done, thanks!

[Starbeard]

Looking forward to it!

Hey guys, sorry for the long delay here. I'm finally getting a quiet morning to sit down and really dig into this stuff.

So, for Cal's skills, I'd like to do the following:

- I'd like to bring his Starship Piloting up to 6D.
- His Astrogation to 5D.
- His Streetwise to 3D+2.

I think that works, but I got into the law as a profession because I was told there would be no math, so please feel free to double check me.

[max_vale]

Skill points spent and character sheet updated Solo, thanks!

[Solo4114]

Thanks, Max!

[max_vale]

Okay, I'm going to update today and I'm going under the assumption that you guys are going to hide some weapons in the smuggling compartment and allow the MGM Cutter to board you. If this is NOT what you intended, please let me know and I can change the post. I hope everyone is doing well!

[Rex]

That is the plan I believe.

[kipper]

I think we should just let them do their inspection and hope for the best.

[Rex]

I think they clearly want a bribe and the inspection is just a bribe obtaining mechanism.

[kipper]

I agree. If we don't give them a bribe and they don't find any weapons, do you think they just attempt to rob us?

[Rex]

Probably, or follow through on the empire threat.

[max_vale]

I'm sorry if I didn't make it obvious enough but yes, they are most DEFINITELY looking for a bribe. As for what they may do if they do NOT get one, well.....Cal would know (and Jackson and the Professor and the two Force Users would CLEARLY get the feeling) that they wouldn't hesitate to rob, blast and/or hand them over to the Imperials. In a system full of asteroids, a ship blasted to bits is easy to explain......

[kipper]

So... essentially our two choices are: attempt to take them by surprise (right now), or pay them.

[Rex]

I think pay them is our better option.

[kipper]

I'd rather not, but I'm just being stubborn. Does anyone else have an opinion? (I'll gladly go along with the majority if someone else thinks we should pay too)

[max_vale]

Soooo.....is anyone gonna make a post with a choice of what to do?

[ybn1197]

I don't think this is a firefight we have a strong chance on. There most likely are more crew still onboard the other ship plus the five we have here so we would have to take them out while someone makes a break for the cockpit and gets us out and away from the other ship. Of course doing so will most likely provoke the other ship to attack...
I really think bribery is out best option. What would the normal bribe be?

[Rex]

I don't see Kit as the best choice to pay the bribe, too much that could go wrong with that. She is all for paying it though.

[Monsieur Rose]

I think we try to pay them off. I'm not huge on the idea of pissing off people immediately without knowing the whole situation.
