First Contact?

Event Type: Bonus
Participants: Four Players
Timeslots: Late Afternoon
Reputation Affected: No
Description: The Massassi have been spotted nearby and Captain Harad is concerned he has put together a squad of soldiers to meet them and wants Sith along just in case. You four get volunteered to meet the savage natives and try and see what they want.

Each Player may choose one roll to take and they need 10 total successes, Triumph is worth 2 successes even if the roll fails. Despair costs the group 1 success. One advantage can be used to grant the next person a boost die and three Advantage can be used to grant a specific person in this event a boost die.; these options can only be chosen once per roll meaning if you have 4 advantage you can give the next person a boost die and a specific person a boost die, but not four boost to the next person.

  • Hey, Listen!: This stage requires a Lore or Xenology roll at Daunting to understand the Massassi language enough to make communication possible. Failing this roll Upgrades the difficulty on the next three rolls. This stage must be done first.
  • Swords for Everyone!: This stage requires a martial display at Hard difficulty utilizing a Combat skill of the players choice.
  • Peace is a Lie?: The player makes a Deception or Leadership roll to show the Massassi they do not wish to quarrel with the Empire this roll is versus 2 challenge dice and a Difficulty die.
  • Shiny?: This is a Negotiation roll at Hard difficulty with two setback dice as the massassi are hard to please. Gain a Boost die if you offer something shiny or a weapon to the Massassi.

Rewards: Less than four successes and the Massassi village is closed off to the students. Five successes and this Massassi tribe will not interfere in Empire affairs but want nothing to do with them. Ten or more successes and the Massassi allow the students access to their village.

Boost for next person

Sylvain approached the village leader and greeted him cordially using the translating device that Baesal had expertly crafted. Reaching out with the force he began to ease the concerns of the man whom they were dealing with.

He pulled out his wrapped Sith Sword slowly from behind his back and offered it to the man in proper Massassi ritual form (insight gained from Master Hazzan).

"We've traveled far to strengthen our Empire. Your contributions would be greatly appreciated, and greatly rewarded."

He smirked as the chief accepted the gift with a smile.

After the chief accepted Torsin's gift Jo'ren stepped up to provide a weapons display with his double-bladed lightsaber. It was a solid piece of work considering his mind was still a little scattered from the events of the day, and he handily demonstrated how anyone unlucky enough to fight him would be liable to be chopped into several very small pieces very quickly.

While Sylvain was dealing with the chief and Jo'Ren with the martial part of the tribe. Moyr approached... women. Mothers, wives. They were reluctant, even hostile at first, but Moyr was diligent and unyielding in her explanations how xenos were respected and supported within the Empire, her being a prime example. And with the subtle help of the Force the message stuck.

LA9. First Contact. Deception. Hard. Challenge 2. Boost 2. (Jo'Ren, Hazzan). Influence: Control.: 2eP+1eA+2eC+1eD+2eB+1eF 5 advantage, 1 Dark Side

The Massassi confer and then turn to the Sith aspirants and their Imperial entourage. Their leader or leaders approach each standing well over 2 meters and give words in their primitive tongue, words and gestures that show the Imperials have impressed them.

The crimson skinned humanoids encircle the group and their spokesman still carrying the Sith sword holds out a hollowed out gourd, it seems filled with red liquid. It drinks some and then holds it back out to the aspirants.

Sylvain, being the relative diplomatic leader of the group is the first to accept the gourd.

He drinks after looking up to see that is the right thing for him to do.

Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

Well, that seemed easy enough to interpret. Jo'ren nodded and accepted the gourd, taking a sip and then holding it out again for Baesal or Moyr. Presumably each of the aspirants would be taking a sip to keep the Massassi happy.

It meanders between bitter and sweet and seems alcoholic with a coppery aftertaste. The Massassi watch to see the reactions of the Sith.

Sylvain downed the drink... nothing really went in his favor or against him.

Since Baesal understands relatively well what they are saying, she guesses that drinking it the right thing to do.

I hope its not blood

So she goes to drink the liquid.

I think its...fermented blood? Sure hope not

Moyr took a sip with relatively little concern. Her stomachs had probably digested worse things before.

After finishing the ritual Sylvain nodded a greeting to the chieftain.

Moyr moved closer toward Baes.

"I think I've located someone who could tell us more about this place. Care to aid with translation?"

''Sure thing dear''

She herself looks at the massassi with a good deal of curiosity

Author:  Moyr Ahaya [ Wed Nov 02, 2016 6:24 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

Moyr nodded and when mingling started she pulled Baes toward her newest acquaintance to make suitable introductions.

The leader of this group or at least the one the leading the negotiation nods back and takes the gourd and shares it with the rest of the massassi.

Meanwhile the other massassi look at the togruta and twi’lek with interest, one they believe to be a female perhaps seems very interested in the lekku of Moyr trying to touch them.

Sylvain tried to communicate in gestures and words to the leader, first he asked normally, "Where are we not permitted to go?"

He pointed to the group, "We."

Then motioned walking with two fingers, "Go."

Then made an angry face and crossed his arms in an 'X'. "Not permitted."

Then raised them up and exposed them to their surroundings, "Where?"

He pointed to their temple near the village and said made the walking motion, "Go, okay?"

Then pointed again and made the angry face again and crossed his arms, "Not permitted?"

Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

Moyr let them be touched but not for long; a moment later the lekku did a trick of one chasing the other with a comic relief in mind. She played confused and perplexed by what her own lekku were doing.

Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

Sadly Baesal did not control her her lekku to that extent so she let the massassi female inspect them

''Lekku'' she said pointing them

Author:  Dapper Dog [ Wed Nov 02, 2016 10:05 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

The massassi woman looks at the lekku and pulls back and says words to the others and they nod in approval. The woman points at herself and says roughly, “Jug’tih.”

She points at Moyr and says, “Lakku.”

Meanwhile the leader of sorts shakes his head no and looks stern, he says words to Sylvain that he does not understand but seem to imply basically anger by body language.

Author:  Sylvain Torsin [ Wed Nov 02, 2016 10:06 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

Sylvain nodded in understanding.

"Anywhere else?" He asked pointing around him in a circle then motioning the 'don't go' sign.

Post subject:  Re: [Day 9 - LA] First Contact? - Event

Well the drink was okay at least. He watched the large Massassi as they spoke and tried to get a feel for their body language. The others were clearly better at this so he just watched and waited, wondering how far back their common ancestors must have been.
