Oh yeah I meant to ask, is this all still the same "encounter"? Since normally you roll Cool or Discipline (players choice) after each encounter without a difficulty to regain Strain. Want to make sure if this is all considered one huge encounter, or if we can regain some strain since we escaped the fight back in the shop.Edit: And while I'm at it, question for the possible future: How high is the ceiling in these hallways...?

Tov move a hand in a motion toward the responder and, without touching them, pushes the shackles back at him.
"We will comply with not running but we will not be shackled" She stands and points toward the diplomats. "We are only doing our duty of protecting the Ryo diplomats. Talk to the temple if you need clearance but we will not be arrested."

The responders eyes flick back and forth between the mirilan and the wookie...The responder shakes his head just once, "I don't know about any of that... So long as you don't move a hair though...", his eyes flick to the wookie, wincing slightly, "... before my backup gets here. I'm sure we can work this all out. "
He licks his lips which have gone dry.

With a firm nod, Rossa makes his way quietly down the passage toward the Sullustan. He creeps as much as he needs, but trusts the general commotion and the hallway's reverberation to cover what little noise his big feet make.
When he arrives back, he tells the Sullustan--"Are you almost finished? These Ryo are under my protection and, well, to protect them, we gotta go. Now."

Slowly, as to not upset the security officer too much, Wrrock follows Tov's example and stands back up tall as well. While he certainly isn't a fan of using his impressive size - compared to normal humanoids, at least - he also knows that sometimes, its good to be two meters of thick fur, muscles and padded combat-ready armor.
"You have a comlink on you. Just call the frequency I can give you, and then maybe you can get back to doing your job as we get back to ours. Or do you really think your authority is greater than the temple's?" Together with Tov's display of their readiness and willingness to use the Force, the Wookiee takes the possibility of getting them all out of this mess at once.
"I will transmit you the location where we were attacked together with the frequency." Slowly pulling his comlink from his belt to show the officer that he wasn't going for his gun, Wrrock gives him a rather stern look that does not allow for much debate. "You'll send your backup there instead."

Silim, using Coercion here will cause 1 Conflict, as you're not really using it to avoid violence, indeed it could have caused violence. Knowing that, you may retcon your actions to avoid the Conflict, but assuming you don't retcon; here is what happens.And also yea, knowing you both are willing to resist his commands warrants a Boost. I'll roll it, if you don't mind Silim to keep it moving.

The sullustan glances past Rossa again as the trandoshan approaches, then to the trandoshan. "Yea... were done here. I will be reporting you all to the Temple authorities. This is a restricted area, and none of you have the proper authority."
OOC:
Will complete the narrative after Boost roll.Ok, I'll use that Threat to have the Sullustan hear the responders shout of "I am the temples authority!" Devilish me >:D

OOC:
Sorry, probably should have had this from the get-go...But yes, you and wrrocj can see Rossa/the susllustan/Ryo. But the responder is out of line of sight of anyone but you two. And the sullustan has been very much distracted by Ryo until now.
P.S. Apex, your "posting at work" thread is ringing true about now!! Scrawled this map on the back of a spreadsheet :P

In a calm tone as to not agitate the young man more Tov speaks.
"Master Genlah is the one who gave us the assingment. Ask for him, he'll clear this up."

"Friend." In a swift motion, the Trandoshan reaches and grips the Sullustan's boney shoulders. He squeezes his hands slightly, just a little, to get the tips of his sharp nails to scratch through the shirt. "I tell you, they're in danger, now. You have your information, you can make your report. But let us go. He swallows, hoping the words came out friendly enough.
The surrounding Ryo are quiet in the hallway, waiting to hear their fate.

Hey group!Wanted to check in with everyone. Get your thoughts/feelings/input on a couple things!
I feel like this chapter has become a bit of a slog. So I'm guessing you guys do too. It's very nearly over - one way or the other, but I don't know if it's worth continuing to bog the story progress down to work it all thru IC.
I wanted this first challenge/chapter to focus on "soft" threats (targeting Strain, social challenges), which kind of necessitates a fast and heavy PvE approach on my part (so you can't pause to recover time and again), which has turned this into a slog. Apologies for that. So, to keep things moving Im proposing we take a vote:
1. Resolve the scene by resisting the sullustan/responder (you will not be deatained, you will escort Ryo to their ship, you will each earn 1 more Conflict).
2. Resolve the scene by allowing them to detain you (no Conflict, but will impact the story/plot in a different way).
Sound reasonable?
We'll earn some xp (which, please note, I award xp based on time in PBP, more than the standard "goals accomplished" method, targeting a minimum of ~150 xp earned per year, 10-15 xp per month, earning more if we get more done) - will be 40 xp for this chapter, move on to some downtime, and move on with the story.

Well, I know Silim is out with an injury, but don't know where Zoom is. We'll move forward with RESIST!The exit from the service halls is just a few meters beyond where the sullustan stopped Rossa and Clan Ryo. The party emerges from the halls with their charges to passers-by whom are none the wiser to who they are. The Journeyers are able to proceed directly to the Ryo ship, and safety, a couple terminals down.
Ryo thanks the three for their diligence and competence, and declines to make any further excursions for the afternoon and evening, and the three Journeyers finish out their shift at watch uneventfully in the vestibule of the hangar to which Clan Ryo was assigned.
OOC:
Alright! Apex, and anyone else who's listening, that's 1 Conflict... and 40 xp!!As a reminder of where everything stands:
1. You were asked to report to Master Genlah at the end of your shift.
2. You will have some downtime at the beginning of the next "session" to pursue any side interest(s) you may have.
3. Rossa caught one of the Clan Ryo people seemingly up to something in the terminal service halls.
Go ahead and spend your xp, roll for Morality, and then we'll wrap up this session.
You have several hours in Ryo's hangar if you want to talk amongst yourselves, or do anything else with that time. Post an IC narrative here to wrap up the session so I know when you're ready to move on. In the mean time I'll be looking into recruiting a new player (or two :P).

Tov finishes her shift not talking to the Ryo but getting to know her classmates more. She tells them of how she was born here and trained most of her life. She knew early on her fighting skills and has been expanding them ever since.
