Flash-sideways back to the situation in Argentina! I’m going to go back to traditional 2d6 rolls, because we haven’t had them in a while (and I’ve overcomplicated this thing past its roots in a massive way)
David Eborrenial points out a man as a Goonswarm agent. “That’s who you want if you want to contact them. Deitri Mynt.”
(I’m still going with homophonic names! Deitri Mynt = Detriment.)If you haven’t realized, the reason for these dice spoilers is to make my GMing more legitimate by showing you the full range of results that you could have gotten.
Roll 2d7 (Celling bonus) where,
2 = Celling dies
3 to 6 = Full-on firefight with Goonswarm on the spot
7 to 8 = Escapes to warn Goonswarm
9 = Plays dumb
10 to 11 = Puts you in touch with his superiors
12+ = Manages to agree to an alliance
Results: 5 + 5 = 10 → Negotiation circus
Celling walks up to Deitri Mynt. “We know about Goonswarm,” he says.
Mr. Mynt looks up in shock. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“We know you’re in their pay,” says Celling. “We want to bargain. The rebels located on this dock, in exchange for the government turning a blind eye to their activities.”
Deitri looks up suspiciously. “If you have some cause for these accusations-”
“We don’t want to arrest you. But if you put us in touch with those higher up, you’ll be remembered as the person that let Goonswarm take official control of this entire patch of coast.”
Deitri glances around furtively, then hands Celling a radio and walks away.
Fansworth (Credit-stealer) sees and runs up. “What did you just do?” he asks.
Your response?A: “Nothing much. Just discussing the upcoming mission”
B: “Attempting to negotiate with Goonswarm.”
C: “He seems to be a spy. I confronted him about his actions.”
D: “Forget him. Are you sure you're fit for duty after what David Eborennial told you about your family?”
E: Something else…
