Niall was practically raised on negotiations between semi-hostile parties. And years of training in the arts had honed his skills. He went into the talks with his usual earnest resolve.

For a time, it seemed as though things went well, but something he said suddenly made the talks turn cold. But then warm again. Niall decided to quit while he was ahead.

Low Level Republic Talks, third time's the charm!: 2eP+2eA+3eC+1eS 1 success, 1 threat, 1 Triumph


Success, but the triumph added an additional +2 for +3 total.

Cole had sucked his teeth, quiet and thoughtful, solemnly listening to Captain Organa speak. Cole was detail-oriented, or at least he'd always believed himself to be, but his lack of political grounding gave him away.

At least he could recognise when he was beaten. Adjusting his trousers, he leans back in his chair, slouching a little, manspread taking up more room than was reasonable on the Republic side of the table.

It was all up to Alysele now, to recover for him and close the talks on a positive note; bring it home, he thinks.

1eP+3eA+2eD+1eC+1eS 2 failures, 2 advantage


+0 Diplomacy, total: +3
Alysele gains +1 Boost die

"We are all grateful for your time here." Said Alysele with all the sincerity she could muster.... which wasn't much. At all. Like. Nada.

Unfortunately, the Imperial noticed this, and let out a small huff as she left, but still could spare a wink at Niall.

Bitch.
