She looks at Korvo, shrugs, and says quietly to the group “It might be a trap- or a way to divide and conquer us, be ready..”.
“We are prepared for treachery. But I’ll take you at your offer to speak.” Fayva says loud enough for all to hear. Then she steps through the blast doors.
Inside sits Dashun. he looks a lot like the picture alema shared. Behind and off to his side is a little togruta girl. He presses a button and the doors close behind you two
"Thank you for accepting my offer. As you can hopefully see i do actually have a child here. I would prefer not to introduce her to the sight of people who are released from their spirits at such a young age. Please have a seat" He uses the force to pull up two seats
Fayva sits. She smiles a friendly smile at the child, also checking to see if he is being truthful, if the child is real, and sensing everything in the room with her head-tendrils.
The child is real and as far as you can tell he is being truthful
"I want you to know what i think about alema and why i think that." He says "I had worked for her for a few months at the time and had not failed a single job until i met the child. I was sent to kill a female togruta, Though i was given no image which i thought was weird. But i accepted anyway as i needed the money. When i got to the job location i started killing thinking they were the enemy. It wasn't until well after i found her that i realized i had slaughtered an entire village. I had waited for almost three weeks for my target to show up. Nobody ever did. Alema had sent me after a child. I confronted her about this later with the child with me. Alema tried to kill her in my arms" He pauses to breath then continues "I then left and took over this building. the crime lord here was evil and harsh to the nearby people so that's why i chose this place. As you can imagine i think she is pure evil" He gently rubs the togruta girls back "If you would be so kind as to what all she said about me i would greatly appreciate that. Leave nothing out"
“Well, I didn’t record it, but my recollection is she said your name is dashun, that you were one of her best until you discovered your force sensitivity- and then you left to train it. Like three years ago. She said you were ‘nearly perfect as a bounty hunter’. but now since you trained your powers you made his territory in one of her old guild houses on nar shaddaa. She implied everyone she sent to kill you had failed. She said we were a team built to enter your compound and kill you, as well as combat your powers." She offered us "1,000 credits each for the job… let’s see if there was more..”
“Note: I do not care about the bounty as long as I get money.” 905 chirps in curses as the two leave him behind. He hilds the emp at the ready for a sudden attack. He has his comm open so that he can hopefully listen in on the conversation.
"Well i always had my force powers when i was with her. I also wasn't with her three years ago"\. And how many of you are there exactly? I cant double pay if i don't know how many of you there are"
(Fayva leaves her com channel on so the rest can hear the conversation. OOC- How many are we- by the way- did we lose another person- putting my guess below- just corect it as fayva would know)
”well, as I said- it’s just business. We are all a bit low on credits, I think, and so we didn’t question the job very much. She said you liked using droids and that this place would be well defended. Our crew is the two of us, the droids outside, a Rodian and a Jawa. But if we double cross her- we will be on her list too. How do you suggest we deal with that?”
"Well. I have more than one lightsaber. you can give her one of mine as proof you killed me. Or you can kill someone who would murder a child" He taps a datapad and smiles "After that you can form your own group. You do make a good team. And as i said i will provide a better ship for you. And i have a few more things to help you grow fayva" He produces four holocrons from under the table "I have studied these and learned them well. Now i want you to do the same. Course you can sell them later if you want. good money on the black market"
In game they would be
1 novice holocron (Novice lets you get any at will force power)
1 dark side apprentice holocron (Apprentice lets you get any first level force power)
1 light side holocron
These would not count against your known force powers
Korvo clears his throat, noticeably. "Look, that's fine and all, but let's call this what it is. Alema is an enforcer for the Hutts, plain and simple. Whoever she wants dead, they want dead, and you chose to take a stronghold in Hutt Space, on one of their oldest colony worlds. It is clear to me that you are using yourself - and possibly this child - as bait to lure in your enemies. In my book, that puts you on par with Alema in the screwed up people who should probably visit a Sarlacc colon category. I have no reason to fight you further, but no reason to trust you either. And frankly, no desire to." Korvo looks to Fayva. "As I said before though, I don't speak for everyone."
Fayva smiles broadly, and looks with wonder at the holocrons. “Well, I am sold.. The force indeed, works in mysterious ways… you still need to convince my companions. But I think we will take that extra saber and try to get her off our back (and yours) that way- or deal with her ourselves, as you suggested. This is a capable group. You won’t regret allying with us.” Fayva says. She takes the Holocrons with wonder in her eyes, her head tendrils studying them in multiple frequencies.
(Heh we posted at the same time with different opinions. Fayva trusts the guy as she’s totally sure he’s not lying (from her checks)- plus the desire for the holocrons- things she’s only heard stories about. They are worth more to her than the credits).

"Seems you are not familiar with everything going on. The hutts don't control this system anymore. The pike syndicate does. And i pay them off so they leave me alone. I have no war with them. And i actually have visited a sarlac pit before. it was a fun challenge to escape from"

"I would not consider us allies as korvo seems hostile. But perhaps you and me could be friends. It's not often i meet people unaligned to jedi or sith in the force"
“I have not met many force users at all” Fayva says.
to Korvo- she says- “Well Korvo- we can take him up on his offer without you trusting him. For what it’s worth- I’m convinced he’s not lying. It is very hard to lie to me, as I might have mentioned. He’s offered us money, a ship, and a solution to our problem of going back empty handed..”.
(Sorry I missed one of your posts- edited above- adding below:
Fayva continues “OK- you raise your turrets and open the doors and we can talk like civilized bounty hunters”.
she powers down her lightsaber.
She looks at Korvo, shrugs, and says quietly to the group “It might be a trap- or a way to divide and conquer us, be ready..”.
“We are prepared for treachery. But I’ll take you at your offer to speak.” Fayva says loud enough for all to hear. Then she steps through the blast doors.
Korvo follows.

Perception (passive 16) 26
natural 20 perception
Insight - she uses force guidance on this 13 plus 4 to see if he is lying. (She has expertise from a feat).
she will spend a round studying him, which can give her advantage on skills and attacks.
27 insight total!
“So, let’s talk” Fava smiles sweetly.
The child is real and as far as you can tell he is being truthful

"You should go to the jedi temple then. Lots of force users there. I don't expect them to teach you anything though"
