"Have fun you two! Don't get lost!" Gin calls out after Dani and Arc, cheerfully waving the pair off. With it now just being her, Toni, and Jeff, the lashunta links their arms together with a wide grin. "We don't need no stinky map! Let's just explore, and see where the waves take us! We'll find a place that sell some cool captainty for you. Maybe even some stuff for me and Jeffy poo here too. Onwards!" She then begins the drag lead them forwards into the station.

(So far I'll be purchasing a Cloak of Protection, Cloak of Many Fashions, and 4 health potions. Gin will also 100% suggest Toni getting a Cloak of Billowing to look cooler than she already is!)

Jeff doesn't mind getting tugged along. Grinning widely as he Gin escorts them through the station, he 'ous' and 'ahs' along. He'd even indulge them with trying anything they wanted on, and would provide honest feedback on anything they try. The mans eyes would light up at a cloak Gin brought out. There were also a few other shinies that would catch his attention.

(Cloak of protection, pearl of power, 4 health potions as well. Perhaps a ring of spell storing. Thinking a staff of power would be pushing it lol)

While shopping with Dani, Arcade spots an electric guitar, and without any real reason or logic for it, puts down his mistress' bags and picks it up. He gives it a few light strums before attempting to play something.

Performance: 4

It wasn't anything good, but Arcade seemed to hear something else, as he unconsciously began humming. His electrical voice, lightly whispering, "Da...doo dee duh duh duh..deh duh dee duh duh duh..." 

Dani grins at Arc, despite his less than stellar performance. "Nice. You want to pick that up too?"

Hearing Dani's question, Arcade pauses, looks up at her, looks back down at the guitar, then back at her. He sets the guitar down, but doesn't let it go, before ultimately picking it back up, "Yes please."

"Excellent." Dani nods and pays for it with a smile. "I look forward to hearing it."

After the round of personal shopping, Dani makes her way back to the docks, where she tracks down some ship engineers and engages them in serious talks about the ship. After a lot of arguing and technical jargon, they appear to have come to some kind of agreement, because they shake hands and Dani performs a credit transfer. Toni receives a message from Dani over comms.

I set up some improvements for the ship. Don't freak out about the 4000 credits out of the ship fund, it'll be worth it. Give the crew two weeks shore leave unless we all end up mortally offending the Nebula King and get kicked out on threat of execution.

Toni sets out searching for things that will set herself up to make a good impression.
She passes a small, out of the way curio shop, stopping dead in her tracks, before bee-lining inside.
"What...is that?" she points at an object set up on a pedestal behind the aged Veskar (is that the lizard people?). 

"That issss the Hammer of Ssssssssebulba. He ussssssssed it to tear down the wallsssss of Xxxxxxxxxanaka, sssssoooo the legend goesssss." The chonky lizard grandpa crosses a leg as he adjusts on his stool, sizing up the Lashunta captain, before going back to his newsheet, "two thousssssand creditsssss for a piecsssse of hisssstory." (Mace of Smiting)

Toni steps cautiously over to the hammer of Sebulba. A chrome haft, wrapped in the inky black hide of a Khalaxian Megalodon, ending in a truly vicious flanged head, covered in ancient alien runes, that glow iridescent green that dance and reflect the mirrored chrome finish, casting a sickly green light as the runes pulse with the rhythm of some long forgotten siege engine.

The Captain slaps a credstick down, and points directly at the old, wrinkled gecko, "I'll take it." She silently makes a mental note to ask Dani to retrofit some kind of harness onto whatever belt she gets to best display her new baby, while allowing for quick drawing in battle.

She quickly finds Gin and Jeff, "Sorry about my detour, lets finish some shopping!" The twins and Jeff continue on with their clothes shopping. Toni eventually settles on a slightly billowy white shirt with a dangerously low cut V, and those drawstrings that are supposed to lace that up, left loose, along with some tight but easily maneuverable crimson leather pants. A pair of black leather boots with tiny metal music note adornments cap off the bottom of her outfit, whilst a long, billowing captain's jacket, in deep crimson with black accents, and a high collar rests upon her strong frame. At her waist is cinched and triple wrapped a  belt of black leather, with a wicked metal buckle in the shape of a classic Lashunta deep sea fishing hook, the whole piece finished with a classic tricorne cap of crimson, with one singular and long Wrexa-bird feather (think Peacock but in black with gold eye). She steps forward, the coat billowing back as she holds her weapon aloft, "How's this, guys?" (uncertain how much the outfit would cost, with some billowing enchantment on the coat)

The rest of the day passes with you all engaging in whatever recreational activities you feel like getting up to. The next day, a muscular half-orc with tattoos comes marching up to your ship with a few other pirates. "The name's Tsadok Goldtooth, First Mate and Representative of the Nebula King. Before you can speak with the king, you have to pass a few tests. First, I want to see how skilled your crew is with tech. You will be provided with a security droid we captured from a fight with the Stewards. One of your crew will be tasked with reprogramming it to watch over King Bonefists' penthouse instead of try to turn him in. Second, I want to see how lucky your crew is. One of you will be playing me in a game of chance. Third, I want to see how good your crew is at fighting. You're gonna have to protect your ship from whatever we feel like wheeling out. Got it?"

Arcade's eyes blip as he reassigns all the minor tests within the tasks required to be completed. Beeping as he quickly finishes, he perks up, "Any additional rules or regulations for completion of the stated tasks?"

"No outside assistance for the tests."

Toni strides forward to greet Tsadok, reaching a hand out to do the epic hero hand shake (gripping fore arms, one sturdy shake, and release). "Nice to meet you, Tsadok."

She listens intently to the trials, "That sounds amazing."
She turns when Arcade asks their question, eyebrow raising in surprise, ****. she didn't even think about rules! Thankfully, the only rule was pretty easy to follow, I mean, they dont need any help anyways!
She turns back to the representative, "We can follow that, and are ready to start whenever, also..." she leans in closer, "Who's your tattoo guy? I've been thinking of getting some to mark the occasion when we pass these trials." She raises a conspiratorial eyebrow, as she flashes some cocky, yet slightly flirty eyes.
(TRYING TO GET IN GOOD WITH TSADOK SO THAT HE TALKS US UP A BIT. Do you want me to roll anything for that?)

(Roll Persuasion, yes)

Persuasion: 14

"Pass the tests first, then we can talk about tattoo parlors." Tsadoks' disposition towards you does not seem too changed from what it was before.

Two of the pirates that came with Tsadok wheel an offline security droid up. "For this first check, you will be hacking into this droid. First, you will need to get past the defenses and access its' central processing system. Then, delete it's current primary directives. Finally, you will program in a new directive, to follow the orders of King Bonefist."

Three DC16 Computer checks from Dani please.

Please gods, dicebot, just this once, be nice.

Dani reaches back and keys a button on her helmet, and a matrix of lines descends over her vision, granting her some additional insight into the droid.

Casting enhance ability with Fox's Cunning in order to gain advantage on the checks.

Flash of Genius at the ready.

Comp check 1: 24

Comp check 2: 25

Comp check 3: 25

Comp check 4: 24

Whoops, extra check.

Using Flash of Genius on the last two to make them a 16 and 18 respectively for a full success.

The security droid comes to life and stands at attention, ready to carry out its duty. "All right. You've passed the first test. Now for the second." Some of the pirates bring out a small table and two folding chairs. Tsadok pulls out a deck of cards. "The next test is the test of luck. You'll be playing Besmara's Gambit. The rules are simple, place your bet-five credits minimum, draw three cards, highest hand wins. Each of you will have 100 credits to gamble and you'll play until one player has taken all 100 credits from the other. Now choose which of you will play."

Gin beams brightly when she sees Dani succeed in bringing the droid back to working order. "Heck yeah! Nice job, Dani!" She cheers, giving the tech a round of applause. At the new challenge, the lashunta glances over the group, eyes locking onto Jeff. "That guy right there!" She pipes up, pointing at Jeffy poo. "He'll do it!" She pauses a second, then clears her throat, her wings drooping a bit. "Er, uh, if he wants to! I mean. Don't wanna volunteer anyone who doesn't wanna volunteer, haha..."

Jeff leans with his back against the wall admiring his, and the others new upgrades. His smile widened further when Dani would emerge victorious. There was no doubting her skills, he was 100% sure about that. His wide smirk was stunned off his face when Gin would pipe up, pointing his way. Letting out a noise of confusion as he'd blink to focus. "Right!" He's clear his throat. "Yes!" And peel himself off the wall. "Of course, Gin!" He'd flash her a confident smile with a hint of naiveté.

I was completely paying attention... The man would strut forward adjusting his jacket, doing his best to put on a stoic face. There was no matching Captain Toni though. Correcting his posture he'd address her first with a respectful bow. "Oh Captain, my Captain," His mouth would still quirk into a playful grin. "I will stop at nothing to secure you the finest of tattoos." He'd lift his head and wink.

Straightening himself, Jeff would take sure steps to his seat. To put on a bit of a show for the bards, in smooth, swift motions, he'd pull out his chair and 'fluff out' his cloak, much like a conductor would the tail of his tux, prior to taking his seat. Honeyed eyes meet Tsadok's. And with an unwavering toothy grin, the man would sit back comfortably for a moment, then he'd lean forward.

"50 credits!" Jeff would firmly place his hand down on the table.

Go big or go home, baby!..... Right?

The cards weren't even dealt yet.

Dear Lady Luck...

It would either be incredibly bold, or a bust.

Jeff's opponent raises his eyes as he places a huge bet, before reluctantly matching the bet. Now that the starting bets have been placed, Tsadok deals each of you in with one card. 

(Roll 1d8.Then make the decision to raise the bet or stay. You can also use Sleight of Hand can give a reroll or Deception can force a fold.)
