Hopefully not a legit Imperial bank, because those would either flat out deny it or shoot you on sight.

Bound to be a few across the city, sure. I'm not sure the specifics on the chip but if it's legal easy enough to do most anywhere.

Day 3 is the last day of the first session?

If so, it went by so fast. :shock:

It is, and it did!

Aim is to have it split so the "final session" ends on the day before the last, to grant that XP prior to the big send-off.

I've been asked about a specific member of the Salky Raiders. Would a Streetwise check or a Knowledge: Underworld check be more appropriate?

Knowledge: Underworld would be a good way to check what you currently might know. Shoot me a message in your PF about who exactly and I can supply you with an appropriate difficulty. It'll likely be on the higher side.

May have missed it somewhere, but, did we get XP? Or does that wait for interrim?

Does the boost to Charm checks at Sapphire's apply to the check to get in? I'm assuming not, but worth checking!

Do we find out Conflict and Harmony directly from the GMs? Do we link appropriate threads re: dark side usage, violence, theivery and conversely successfully avoiding fear and temptation and going to the light?

Yes, I feel like I mentioned this somewhere but even I am currently failing to track it down! So perhaps I never did!

Conflict and Harmony gains will be determined by GM. However, my suggestion is to create a thread to track potential morality gains/losses in your PF should you find something to be significant enough to warrant it. Preferably I would suggest denoting briefly why you feel something might affect your morality and providing a link to the thread/moment in question.

I'll check through these threads periodically when I see them and let you know of any potential awards/losses.

Can we spend banked XP to go into effect the next day, or should we wait until session end?
You can spend it freely.
On this - when you say 'freely' do you mean 'at the start of the next day' or even 'during a day'?

And also - can we spend xp to go into effect on day 4, or do we wait for it to come into effect on day 5?

Is is possible to break down gear for raw materials for a portion of their cost with Mechanics, kind of like how you would resell with negotiation?

What's the difficulty for repairing the broken comlink that Raven, Manny, and Varina found on the dead Ithorian? (and how much time/resources will it take?)


Is the bloodstained book beyond salvaging, or is there like... local experts that can restore it to some degree? :D

And thirdly, the data-thing that Sofia found. What is it exactly? Jyrvess will be getting to look at it in this scene.

Soon as it's given out you can allot it on your sheet and start using it actively.

So yes, XP spent goes into effect immediately/on Day 4.
