Zaré seats amid a group of folk, plainly aware that whatever the ambassador pulls out might not be appreciated. He tries to avoid laughing too much when he realizes what kind of performance is happening. Then he wonders is this related to how they have physical relations? and seems to be a little interested. Still the crowd is unmoved and need encouragement he wispers casually to the person in front of him, using his communit as if it was a gun and point it at the person’s back “I can’t miss you at this distance and I would hit you right in the spinal column. You would not feel a thing and no one will hear it. You’d better show some appreciation fast.”
As the patron might roar in protest, he just shows his comm unit. “Can’t you see I was joking. I’m working on my own performance !” --- A little later, trying to convince someone else, he starts “I bet you never saw them have sex do you? And that’s just the start!”
Zaré was about to threaten the representative, the ambassador answer reminds him he’s supposed to make the society look honest. Before going, he asks the team to make a short break, so he can catch his breath.
He discreetly calls the Theatorium when the team is on route, trying to secure a meeting for the ambassador. He tries a mix of lies, trying to seduce the person answering or Jebodah Hamisfore’s secretary, a bribe, and a mention of the Society if the rest does not go too bad.
Zaré has grown on Apostae and is wary of any contract. Some could contain closes like giving up one’s soul… He gives it a good read. Replying to Deris, he tells “About as big as an Ysoki?” and chuckles at his own bad humour. Then he asks the others, “Does anyone know a good lawyer? We could sue them and be able to get more.”
Zaré is shouting and the doors leading to me and Grimace are open. He can’t spare a swift as trick attack is a full action. Do what you think is best. (You posted just a minute before I did :-) ) Zaré on the other side, needs to stop shouting in the ship as it seems he’s destroying it. He might end up trying to attack in melee.
Opened door can be resealed and atmosphere restored with a standard action and a successful Computers check. I do not understand which door is in need of sealing. I guess we do not know how the air got sucked. Is there a way to get into the red zone without taking damage? (I guess decompression takes time…) I’m thinking of sealing a door behind us, then sucking the air of the section.
"Taking control of an automated vessel is a clear circumvention of proper protocols!" Nugblub scolds, even as the dignitary's gooey foot struggles to remain adhered to the hull of the shaking vessel. Zaré’s about to reply something inappropriate but manages to stop himself, thinking he really has a stick in the … Mmmh where’s that by the way?
"This is a fully-automated vessel," Nugblub replies. "I can hardly imagine how we could get any closer to the other ships." Zaré replies “There’s always a way to get a better tour if you ask nicely or to the correct person. Sometimes it will be because you are the only client, so the organizer has time to do something special for you.” Then he goes to the helm, and tries to move the ship closer to some ship, more thinking about how bored he was than what the embri might think of what he’s doing.
With the patron and the ambassador out of hearshot, Zare points out “You know that guys conned you 200 credits, don’t you? He bumped the ambassador on purpose. I’ve seen this con before.” while thinking seen as in I pulled it off a couple of times, it’s been a while thought. --- In the ship, Zaré seems a bit bored by the sight. “Nugblub, don’t you want to see some of those ship closer?” Unless the ambassador refuses, Zaré will go in the control room and start piloting the ship to get a closer look at some ships, especially the ones the ambassador seems interested in.
Zaré smiles inside at the bold lie from the Lashunta. He tries to reinforce it while smoothing the ghoran concerns. “Our friend here is going to take care of the creature, he has prepared a special place for it. A place where it will be free.” and starts to think about what the ambassador is going to do with the squox “does he plan on eating the thing? It would be free of being digested”.
“Greetings Nugblub, I am Zaré.” says the male drow, trying to avoid saying nice to meet you as that sounded too emotional. In the quarters, Zaré tries to pierce what the creature might want to do . He starts thinking looks like he has a stick up his a… hum do they actually have those? Then he looks at the other embri, and wonders how do they reproduce?. As a bit too often his mind starts thinking about sexuality. Zaré grabs his datapad, pretending he is reading from it, and adds to what the lashunta is saying. “There is also the opportunity to visit the Lorespire Complex. There’s also…” and he interrupts himself, stops looking at the datapad, looking at the embri ”You probably have a preference, probably made a list of your own?”. Pretending to have organize things, that’s going to please her I’m sure. Also pointing out she is organized, that seems like a compliment too.
At the word “colleagues” and “made the Society respected again”, Zaré starts thinking the society must have taken him for someone else. But after the whole briefing, he starts to think that maybe he’s there more for the thing he might know about the station, in case the ambassador is interested in those. Or maybe his ability to tell the ambassador what he wants to hear… He quickly read through the ambassador profile. “The ambassador race, the embri, seems to want to control their emotions. Do you know if they expect that from other too?”
Zaré, hungry, is looking at the few credits left in his pocket while looking at one of the restaurant in the Spike. He had eaten worse in Apostae. Better too. As his eating “meat”, the clean and lean man thinks about his situation. Most of the other patron do not pay attention to him, even if he has no armor and no visible weapon, he has eaten there enough time that people know he can defend himself. Nothing went his way after that operation in the Vast. The other had gone their way. He had managed to go back to Absalom Station, looking for opportunities. He hadn’t found much, scrapping enough to feed himself. Unlike Apostae, he didn’t need to pay for air. After some time, he had heard someone talk about the Starfinder Society. He had applied for a field commission, as they call it, but wasn’t sure they’d call him. If they started looking at his background, they might hesitate to hire him. And if they started stirring things up in Apostae, someone could remember him, and maybe hire someone to kill him. He was probably fine, he hadn’t seen anyone sent after him after those couple years.
1) Character name: Zaré (taken in the message board so I added a ’)
For the GM:
Played it once, in may 2019. I don’t remember any detail (I looked at the chronicle sheet but nothing to remind me of any scenario detail). The character is supposed to be a drow, but I do not have the boon and do not have the AcP yet. It was a character I played in the first book of an AP, the GM stop running the AP due to lack of time (that was a couple of years ago). Let’s see if I have as fun playing him as a Starfinder (otherwise, I’ll retrain). |
