"Cloaked...," Jeren mutters softly after hearing what the droid called him, his eyes still on the scene unfolding a few meters away from them. After NT-2B describes what has transpired, the man's eyes widen momentarily and then narrow, his gaze on Jace.

'This is very familiar indeed,' he ponders as his mind travels to memories of a time that belongs in the past. 'Could it be? It would make for quite the coincidence...'

"Quiet though he has been so far, perhaps he can be very persuasive when he wants to be," Jeren answers with a shrug. "Or perhaps they know each other?"

The vurk will carry the package as if nothing had happened and go back to the ship.

In Saga how do we get rid of Dark Side points? Do we have to burn a force point like in the 3.0 version?

I have done, or failed at doing rather, what I intended before the contacts arrival. Not sure if Jarl or Vessani have any plans.


That is correct, Jace, but I also want you to play out the meditation and show your character understanding what he did and its consequences.

Jarl and Vessani will have until tomorrow morning to post any actions. I'll move things along then.

Sorry, didn't mean to take so long.

Vessani took a sip of his drink as he looked around the bar. "So," he said, turning to Daaneth, "who are we waiting for? Got any I.D. on the target?"

Perception to notice anything strange: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

As Jace's confrontation of sorts with the other man concludes, Jeren approaches the Vurk, motioning for NT-2B to join him.

"Is everything alright, Jace? That almost seemed like it would end in violence," the hooded man inquires. "Did you know him?"

As his companion answers, or chooses not to, whatever the case may be, Jeren studies him, trying to figure him out. Hardly the most sociable of the group, there has not been much interaction between them for him to get a better sense of the Vurk.

"By the way, we are supposed to meet the others in a bar not far from here. There is a prospective employer who might be interested in hiring us."

Vessani took a sip of his drink as he looked around the bar. "So," he said, turning to Daaneth, "who are we waiting for? Got any I.D. on the target?"

"Just a name, Haral Sto-nea.I asked around about him but no one seemed to know anything about him. Or they just didn't want to tell me."


Strolling into the Hyperburst, looking as though he hasn't a care in the world, comes a human gentlemen. His cloak is lined with a luxurious fur, and he is clearly somewhat prosperous. Surveying the room, he sees Daaneth and walks over to him. Extending his hand, he says, "I am Haral Sto-Nea. You are Daaneth Qilat, correct?"

"One and the same." Daaneth shakes Harals hand with a smile and motions toward a seat he'd reserved next to him.

"I hear you have a job to do, and I just happen to be looking for work. Maybe we can work something out?"


"Oh, I am certain we can," he says, taking a seat across from you. He catches a serving droid and orders a drink, then turns to you and says, "My cousin on Essenx, Vin-Dai Soo, sells luxury fur garments, Essenx being somewhat colder than Ciutric. In our northern climes, there is an animal called a palomink whose fur is both incredibly soft and warm. I manufacture the garments here, and then my cousin sells them on Essenx. Unfortunately, my usual delivery crew was arrested, and I find myself in need of a new one. I will lay you 5,000 credits now, with my cousin paying you 10,000 upon delivery. Sounds fair, yes?"

Players no peeking:

Deception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Daaneth, Vessani, Jarl Perception (DC 13):

He's holding something back about the cargo - and his former transportation group's arrests.

Jeren, Jace, NT-2B Perception (DC 23):

As you walk towards the Hyperburst, you notice a Kubaz who seems to be following you.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

NT-2B hovers alongside Jeren as they approach Jace. If the droid is surprised that Jace completely dodges Jeren's question, he doesn't show it. Running some calculations, NT-2B silently follows the others as they head towards the Hyperburst.


Male Human Jedi 3; HP 46/46; FP 5/6; Threshold 14; Fort 14 (19 vs. extreme heat or cold), Ref 18 (flat-footed 14), Will 16; Initiative +9; Perception +8

"I am not entirely certain, but I believe we are being followed," Jeren says to his two companions, his voice barely above a whisper. "A Kubaz."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Is there some way for Jeren to separate from the other two and maybe intercept the Kubaz? Like some back alley or something? Or he could wait for the stalker guy to enter the Hyperburst after them and pull him aside just as he does so for a bit of a chat?

Daaneths eyes narrow as Haral talks about the job.

"Not sure if you've dealt with many of my kind, Haral, but Togruta are very intuitive, so I'm just going to be honest, and ask you to do the same. There's a few things you're not telling me. I don't mind taking jobs with a bit of...risk so to speak, but I need to know what I'm getting into before I put myself and my crew on the line. So why don't you tell me what's really going on?"

Vessani snorted into his drink. "Right," he said, giving the 'client' a once-over. "Just So happened to be arrested, huh? What exactly is in the palominks to make them so dangerous to transport? I got a feeling they aren't as cuddly as a gizka."


Jeren:

There's enough if a crowd that you can lose yourself in it. I'll need a Stealth check.

Blinking in surprise, Haral says, "My previous transport crew? They were apparently also smuggling on the side, and that led to their arrest. Nothing you need concern yourself with, yes? Besides, you're smuggling the finished product - coats and hats and such. There is no worry about live creatures. I assure you, there is nothing to worry about."

Players no peeking:

Deception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Daaneth, Vessani, Jarl Perception (DC 21):

He's still holding something back about this transport job.

"At least I know we're smuggling now, so we can opt for discretion. When are you intending to drop this cargo off. I'll be inspecting anything that goes on my ship before we launch."

He points to the scarred remains at the end of his injured montral.

" Not a fan of surprises."

Vessani peered closer at the client, noticing a few twitches and rapid eye movements. It all meant one thing. Leaning in to whisper to Daaneth, he said, "Listen, cap, this guys holding something back, and I have a feeling it's gonna be big. You need to press him harder on the shipment, there's something we should really find out about it before we take the job."


Male Human Jedi 3; HP 46/46; FP 5/6; Threshold 14; Fort 14 (19 vs. extreme heat or cold), Ref 18 (flat-footed 14), Will 16; Initiative +9; Perception +8

"I will see if I can have a chat with him," Jeren says softly and quickly to NT-2B and Jace before separating from them and attempting to use the streets, buildings and people to hide from the one following them and perhaps even find a way to reach him without his noticing.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Sigh... Would the Jedi Purge Survivor background's Stealth reroll thingy apply here?

Trusting Vessani's judgement Daaneth looks back the human he's dealing with.

"This is a hell of a way to start a business deal, friend. I'm willing to work with you, all I'm asking is that you give it to me straight."

The vurk will think to himself, Jeren does not appear to be that sneaky. .

To the droid Shall we continue on or wait?


Male Human, Soldier 3, HP 45/45 , Defenses F 16 - R 18 - W 14, Force Points 6/6, Initiative +9, and Perception +8 (No Special Senses)

Jarl sits quietly watching the interaction, Nice to not be the front man on an operation for once...

jarl will look around to make sure no one else is taking too much interest in this meeting.

Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24


Jeren:

Yes, this is blending in a crowd.

Jarl:

You notice a gentleman keeping an eye on your table. Give me Knowledge (tactics).

Starting to sweat, Haral looks between the two of you, then sighs. "Alright, fine. The furs aren't the real cargo." Leaning in, he quietly says, "The Imperial governor on Essenx has placed extremely high tariffs on the import of jewels, in the interest of protecting Essenx's mining trades. The aristocracy of Essenx find jewels mined onworld to be pedestrian, and are willing to pay exorbitant sums for firedrops, corusca gems, and other off-world stones. My cousin was originally a jeweler by trade, and said he diversified into fur products to make ends meet and help cover the cost of importing jewels. In actuality, we hide the gems in the lining of the furs, then sell them at the cost of importing with tariffs. It's been a very lucrative business."

Leaning back, he says, "I didn't play it straight with you because I wasn't sure I could trust you. But, I've already been turned down by 5 crews on this cargo, and my cousin's stock is low. I'll raise the pay to 20,000 credits - 10 now, 10 upon delivery. Now, will you accept the job?"

"For that amount I might even let you line my clothes with them. So yes, we accept. How and where was your last crew caught? Did it lead back to you? We need to make sure we don't leave tracks."

He leans back, smiling. This doesn't seem so hard.
"Do you need us to help you transport the furs to the ship? Or can you secure that yourself?"

"I believe he would prefer we continue on and not draw added attention." As the pair continue walking, NT-2B wastes no time in steering the conversation. "What is that item you acquired? Will it help our endeavours? I would so hate to lose another crew so quickly after Wrapped Hands."

Vessani nearly choked on his drink when the new sum was offered. "T-twenty grand?" he asked with a shocked voice. "Hell's bells, man, for that much I'd carry them in my boots!"


nit +6; Senses Perception +9,Languages Basic, Semblan,Faleen, Caamasi Defenses Ref 12 (12 flat-footed), Fort 14, Will 15; HP 32; Threshold 14 Force Pts 5 Vurk Jedi3

The vurk responds to the droid You are correct, we should not do anything that will draw attention to ourselves. Let us continue on our way.


Droid 3 [ HP: 26 / 26 | FP: 17 | Refl +14 / Fort +14 / Will +17 | Init +1 | Percept +11 (Low-Light) ]

The Droid seems unphased by the lack of response to his questions. "Certainly, Wandering Scales." He floats alongside the Vurk, pleased for the safety that company provides a droid.


nit +6; Senses Perception +9,Languages Basic, Semblan,Faleen, Caamasi Defenses Ref 12 (12 flat-footed), Fort 14, Will 15; HP 32; Threshold 14 Force Pts 5 Vurk Jedi3

It is prudent that we travel in pairs at least, NT-2B. We are not of this place and the Empire does not like to have non-humans around.


Droid 3 [ HP: 26 / 26 | FP: 17 | Refl +14 / Fort +14 / Will +17 | Init +1 | Percept +11 (Low-Light) ]

"Agreed. I had many close calls before finding Warrior Poet, and then all of you. Many of them do not consider us life forms." He pauses for a second. "It is the same in many places, I suspect."


nit +6; Senses Perception +9,Languages Basic, Semblan,Faleen, Caamasi Defenses Ref 12 (12 flat-footed), Fort 14, Will 15; HP 32; Threshold 14 Force Pts 5 Vurk Jedi3

They are the sum of their experiences, NT-2B. Being a vurk I am always referred to as a man though man is a human concept. It is true, I am male but am not a man in the traditional undertanding.

I'm so sorry Jeren but I laughed pretty hard.

Jeren:

As you move into the crowd, you notice the Kubaz lock eyes with you. The crowd breaks your sight of him, and he's gone. Give me a Perception check.

Visibly relieved, Haral smiles and says, "Excellent! I will have the furs and initial payment delivered to you within one hour. Where is your docking bay?"

To Vessani, "They were apparently smuggling spice as well as transporting my cargo. They got caught with the spice, but I was able to get my cargo back."

"I'm surprised they don't just make spice legal and tax the help out of it considering how many nobles use it," Vessani said, pondering what he was gonna do with this major payday they had coming.

Somewhat annoyed at his lack of discretion, Jeren at least attempts to see where the Kubaz has vanished to.

"An interesting point." NT-2B agrees. "Many of my brethren are modeled off of humans, many bearing more similarities in appearance than you do, yet none would ever be called man. I wonder what the distinction is. Simple organics? I suppose we do lack genitalia.... But interestingly, we are not incapable of reproducing, given the right materials. I myself helped to father an entire new series. Improvements on myself, which I think to be what most father's want?" He trails off, running calculations before picking up the original thread again.

"Of course I also look nothing like a human - and intentionally. Many of the planets that my series was intended to do work on have had... less than pleasant experiences with humans."

Jarl orders another drink for the table, "Tell me Haral, have you ever run afoul of any of those crews that got caught?"


Jeren:
He seems to have given you the slip. You don't see him.

Jarl:
Based on your extensive military training, you see he's positioned himself to watch both the door and your table. His demeanor screams bodyguard.

Shaking his head, Haral says, "No, it was only the one crew and they just got arrested a few months ago. Well, I do need a new permanent crew. Perhaps that will be you, if you do well enough on this job."

To Vessani's question, he says, "Spice is less commonly used than people think, outside of Hutt Space. Although, rumor has it, the Empire mines glitterstim for use by interrogators and soldiers."


Male Human, Soldier 3, HP 45/45 , Defenses F 16 - R 18 - W 14, Force Points 6/6, Initiative +9, and Perception +8 (No Special Senses)

Jarl nods, "So then the man watching our table as if he would like to join is one of yours then? Perhaps I should send a drink his way?"


"Ah, you noticed Senjo, did you? He's very good at his job. To notice him, you must have very sharp eyes."

He waves his hand, and the man visibly relaxes.

"So, I'll have the furs delivered to your docking bay, along with the first half of your payment. Have we anything else to discuss?"


Male Human Jedi 3; HP 46/46; FP 5/6; Threshold 14; Fort 14 (19 vs. extreme heat or cold), Ref 18 (flat-footed 14), Will 16; Initiative +9; Perception +8

"Tsk."

With the Kubaz having vanished again and quite possibly still following him, Jeren shakes his head and starts making his way to the bar where the others are, on occasion looking back to see if he can spot his stalker.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The vurk will make his way to the bar not really talking much after the initial conversation with the droid. He will order a water.


Male Human, Soldier 3, HP 45/45 , Defenses F 16 - R 18 - W 14, Force Points 6/6, Initiative +9, and Perception +8 (No Special Senses)

"Yes, we definitely have an agreement, stay awhile, lets have a round and toast to our new...business venture!"

Daaneth will negotiate a time to receive the goods that allows for the crew the rest of the crew to catch up with them and be updated about the deal. After a few drinks he's ready to head back to the ship, having accomplished what he set out to do.

"I'm eager to get off this planet boys, it's too stiff. Is there anything else you need to do, if not lets get back to the Dwarf, just let me know when your ready."

NT-2B hovers alongside Jace. "I hope Cloaked Wisdom catches back up soon." His eyes scan the bar, curious of any happenings, and attempts to fulfill his duty of eavesdropping on others for any useful information.

After the deal was made and drinks in celebration were had, Vessani was ready to hear back. "I'm ready to hear back when you are. Sooner we get the job done the sooner we get paid."
