Parley with the Gorettis

Discussion in 'Campaign - Skjaldborg Saga' started by MagnusEffect, Jul 25, 2015.

?

We stand outside the towering walls of Castle Goretti. How should we deal with them? (read OP first)

  1. They're dirtbag mobsters; sneak in and slit their throats in the dead of night.

  2. We've heard unsettling reports from the periphery; take their deal if it means leaving here faster.

    3 vote(s)
    27.3%

  3. Take their offer and then double cross them; Trojan Horse style.

    5 vote(s)
    45.5%

  4. Meet them halfway; take the ceasefire, but refuse their help. We can always deal with them later.

    18.2%

  5. Screw all that! We don't negotiate with bandits! Lock an' load! We attack at dawn!

    Negotiations can be modified as long as they are different from what was before (subject to GM approval). A single person can't reroll for the same thing.

    I'm handling the negotiations the same as all secondary skills: everyone gets one roll, but the most recent roll always supersedes previous rolls.

    Apologies, my stupid is working hard today. I'm not quite clear on what this means. Can we negotiate on single items or is it one roll for the whole deal together?

    Subject to interpretation somewhat, but pretty much a yes/no for each individual "category" based on what was already posted. For example, info on the Harbinger and cache might be lumped together as these are a matter of exchanging info. Details on prisoner and salvage exchange would be another category as these are "tangible" items. However, I am open to suggestions on what gets lumped where as long as there is some basic level of tit-for-tat.

    Got it, thank you.

    Skjaldborg Commandos, are you guys comfortable with me leading the charge on this? If so I'll bring a smooth talker or two and try to get us a better deal, if not please speak up and let me know what you'd like different.

    Here are my main goals in order of priority:
    Get Beta personnel and mechs back
    End Goretti attacks against us
    Secure safe passage off world
    Access repair facilities with no/minimal chance of sabatoge
    Treasure cache location

    All that is fine, but judging by the poll, most want to do the Trojan Horse plan. Is that what you meant by "End Goretti attacks against us"

    also, if you want to do something different from what the poll suggests, that can be resolved with rolls as well. a sort of "resolution" check.

    My idea is sit down with Goretti's people and work on terms, then present the terms to the unit for voting before we fully commit. May make some people change their mind on their vote.

    Does tomorrow night work? Sheo, LagCat, either of you guys available then?

    Don't worry, whatever deal we come up with we'll post here and make our final decision on what we want to do.
