Also, to keep you from having to search, this is the result of your small talk so far:
NAIAJ: PCs demonstrating competence in the field through a successful Computers, Engineering, or Piloting check (or other checks, if demonstrated effectively) can impress Naiaj. She can also be persuaded that cunning words can preclude combat altogether via a successful Diplomacy check, though this is harder to accomplish.
ROYOThough at first dismissive of anyone who attempts to join their discussion, Royo is impressed by any PCs who can step into the circle of scholars and hold their own via a successful Culture, Life Science, Mysticism, or Physical Science check to recall knowledge. A PC can also impress Royo with a successful Profession check in any nondigital or specifically historical field.
Special: Characters whose theme grants a DC reduction with one of the above skills can apply that reduction to checks to impress Royo.

Sorry a busy day so only just got chance to update.
You don't currently have an idea how well you're doing, your interactions with each other are fairly brief - enough to share a few polite words and grab a drink etc.
Carrying on the re-cap:
Round 2:
Edward Attempts to Impress Naiaj with Practical Science
Hadir Attempts to Woo Iteration with stories of adventure
Rilyn Attempts to impress Iteration with tales of Artefact plunder
Patterson Attempts to prove to Naiaj that they work well in a ship.
Oda converses in written word with Royo, impressing the Ysoki with their knowledge
Round 3:
Edward continues in their attempt to impress Naiaj with their tales of interesting beasts
Rilyn and Iteration share an incredible experience
Kat makes small talk with Ykris, learning more about the Parasite which should help.
Patterson makes overtures to Zo! but doesn't seem to influence the Elebrian
Hadir Is overwhelmed by the Inellectuals who's theories go beyond their own modest studies.
Oda to go in round 3
All to go in Round 4 ^^

Round 3:
Edward continues in their attempt to impress Naiaj with their tales of interesting beasts
Rilyn and Iteration share an incredible experience
Kat makes small talk with Ykris, learning more about the Parasite which should help.
Patterson makes overtures to Zo! but doesn't seem to influence the Elebrian
Hadir Is overwhelmed by the Inellectuals who's theories go beyond their own modest studies.
Rilyn and Hadir discusses the theories of Gods and Free Will with Royo
Patterson and Kat trade gossip with Ykris
Edward flatters Zo! on their work
Oda to go in round 3 and four - Might be worth Sense motive on Zo! for an action to try and puzzle out the enigmatic Undead.
So as mentioned after round 4, there is an interlude - I'll post it later tonight for the weekend, Oda feel free to take your actions.
Just a heads up - it's my birthday this weekend so I will be trying to get on, but it might be Monday

GM, it seems like the duration of each "round" is not well-defined. I'm thinking of using Detect Thoughts to read the surface thoughts of the three targets still available. It will take me 3 "rounds" or 18 seconds to read thoughts, subject to a Will save, and then I get 42 seconds to eavesdrop. Would it make sense for all of that to occur within the "round" of dialog with the targets?
I imagine that the others in the group could reignite dialog and then Rilynn could try her spell to see what they're really after from us. Would anyone counsel against this tactic as too invasive?
|

I imagine the "rounds" in this case are probably much longer than the usual 6-second combat round? For the PCs to have time to discuss and impress the guests, they must be several minutes long?
As for the tactic, Edward would probably stand against it based on practical considerations (such as sensitive individuals like Lashunta who might perceive the spell being used). But what he doesn't know, he cannot argue against ;)

Yeah they use the term 'rounds' to break it down but the time is very vague - the party lasts hours so things like detect thoughts can be used, but due to the nature of the event it calls out that it can be used on one individual (likely because they move around and it isn't easy to get them in a handy cone.
Rilyn, you used Sense motive on Royo - but you already know what can be used for them, i've pulled forth what you know, including what Oda has discovered on Zo! - feel free to use another skill this round, keep the 18 i don't mind:
NAIAJ: PCs demonstrating competence in the field through a successful Computers, Engineering, or Piloting check (or other checks, if demonstrated effectively) can impress Naiaj. She can also be persuaded that cunning words can preclude combat altogether via a successful Diplomacy check, though this is harder to accomplish.
ROYO: Though at first dismissive of anyone who attempts to join their discussion, Royo is impressed by any PCs who can step into the circle of scholars and hold their own via a successful Culture, Life Science, Mysticism, or Physical Science check to recall knowledge. A PC can also impress Royo with a successful Profession check in any nondigital or specifically historical field.
Special: Characters whose theme grants a DC reduction with one of the above skills can apply that reduction to checks to impress Royo.
Zo! As he is keeping an eye out for new talent for an upcoming project with a lot of “action scenes,” Zo! is particularly impressed by PCs who can demonstrate their abilities through Acrobatics or Athletics checks, Bluff checks to feint, or even a showy display with a weapon (Attack roll).
Special: A PC who has the icon theme can attempt a check with her Profession skill to impress Zo!
