The daily grind (Day 1 Early Afternoon)

[Nekoinu]

The route back was not entirely clean. Zanebry soon came across a group of men gathered under one rally leader. "The Hutts lavish them outsiders but they haven't given us a single credit! Us Shadowtownas keep this moon runnin'!"

[Zanebry Varliss]

The former spy sighed, this wasn't really what he wanted to deal with, mostly because there was little he could say that would help matters here. Adjusting his hat, he tried to make his way past the group without anyone noticing, just another shadow on a overcast day.

[Nekoinu]

The streets are beginning to fill with crowds listening to the crier. Make a Stealth Check at Daunting difficulty. Flipping one destiny to upgrade one die to red.

[Zanebry Varliss]

((Stealth! flipping a destiny die because daunting difficulty: 1eA+2eP+3eD+1eC 1 success, 4 threat
))

It seemed to be going fairly well, at least at first, as the dark clothed man made his way through the ever growing crowd. He'd really need to find a better alley next time.

[Nekoinu]

The investigator made it through the crowds at an extremely slow pace. Slow enough where the Hutt Security Forces arrived, led by Malto Brin himself. In the midst of the crowded streets, he ordered them to toss out the "suppression grenades." While they did not explode, they began to emit a toxic gas...

Resilience Check at Daunting Difficulty. Flipping another destiny point to upgrade one die :3

[Zanebry Varliss]

Poison was bad, and Zane was certainly wishing he had a gas mask as they began to fire grenades to suppress the crowd

((Resilance! Daunting difficulty, can't flip another destiny so won't: 2eA+3eD+1eC 2 failures, 3 threat
))

[Nekoinu]

Soon, most of the crowd felt the effects. For now, it was a dull pain, one that came with fatigue. Zanebry was soon impeded by stumbling rioters. His plan was...

---

The poison deals 1 strain this round, 3 the next, and 5 afterward, each ignoring soak. The sum of the threat is represented by the crowds funneling in the way. All checks suffer One Setback and any Threat generates one more strain.

[Zanebry Varliss]

He couldn't just stop here, taking the pocket square out of his pocket to serve as a makeshift air filter, he pressed it against his face and moved forward, It would likely do little good but it couldn't possibly hurt.

All the while his eyes scanned the nearby alleyways and building's looking for a good avenue of escape. He didn't seem to be having too much success though, as the smoke started to sting his eyes.

((streetwise/cunning looking for a way out, Medium diff 2 setback (reroll via neko inu): 3eA+1eP+2eD+2eS 1 failure, 3 advantage
))

[Nekoinu]

Next was the paralysis effect. Some of the denizens began to fall over. A few, distant voices screamed about their will never being suppressed and so on. Fortunately for Zanebry, he was partially out of the crowds and ready to make a run for it...

---

3 Strain kicks in from the poison. However, the Advantage recovers 1 strain and grants One Boost Die for the next roll. It will be an Athletics at Hard Difficulty to sprint away. The setback from the poison still stands and the other from people getting in the way, for a total of Two.

[Zanebry Varliss]

He really didn't want to run right now, honestly all he wanted to do was sleep. Still this was no place to get caught, not with a Hutt enforcer right around the corner.

((prepare for all the fail! athletics hard difficulty 2 setback 1 boost: 2eA+1eB+3eD+2eS 2 successes, 2 threat
))

[Nekoinu]

Zanebry's body, during the exertion, suffered more under the poison's effects. It induced horrific muscle spasms and yet still he ran. Eventually, the sounds of the crowd became mere echoes in the distance...

---

The poison inflicts 5 Strain. Suffer 2 Strain due to the poison's additional effects. The 2 Threat will be used to add one Setback to the next roll in this thread if there is one.

[Zanebry Varliss]

That was unpleasant, he paused for a moment to catch his breath and try to straighten his clothing, before setting back off. Doing his best to make it look like he wasn't any worse for wear as he made his way back towards his ship.

He needed a whiskey and a smoke, well maybe not the smoke.

((Strain Recovery recovering strain cool/presence: 1eA+1eP+1eS 0 successes, 2 advantage
))
