The prognosis
is not good.


Good point about making my guy a suspect, he could always injure himself trying to stop the robbery. We could also do an "inside man" and hide inside with the jewel till the heat wears off.

Perhaps we can do it in such a way as to be highly embarrassing to many parties so they have an interest in keeping it under wraps? Blackmail?

Once you guys finalize your initial investigative plans, let me know specifically what you'd like to do and I'll let you know what rolls and the like to make :D

So, Vis and Spincut, you want to research the auction itself and how to get into it

Koth, Elendil004, Kloaked, you want to scope out the musuem

nothing to seehere, you want to start poking around seeing if anyone else is planning a similar heist

If I got all that right, I'll put up a gamepost with relevent stuff here in the next couple hours. Sorry for the delay, I dunno what it was but even after the forum outage I was still having great difficulty connecting.

I'm hopping on the rival heist research team as well, with an additional secondary focus of checking into the Shens' whole deal.

Also, I've started playing with the idea of bullshitting an epidemic among the security team to get a bunch of them on sick leave and maybe make our job easier.

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

What would be the difficulty check on

1) Convincing the guards in the jewel room using deception that I'm authorized to get a closer look
2) Causing a distraction which would pull the guards out of the room and let me take a look around
3) Finding out where the hastily added cameras in the jewel room are sending their feed to

1) Stupid hard; they're pros. Let's call it a 4 Diff Deception
2) Depends on what manner of distraction you're going for, elaborate?
3) Not the hardest slice job in the world, but you don't really have a good place to set up. Diff 2 Skullduggery check, followed by a Diff 2 Computers check. Setbacks (or outright impossibility) would be added to the Computers check based on the results of the Skullduggery check.

Nothing too crazy. How about

1) If they're also guarding stuff in the main area of the museum, cause someone to bump into a painting / sculpture, causing the alarm (that I assume is connected to all this valuable stuff) to go off, forcing them to investigate
2) If they're assigned to that room only, set off the fire alarm so they're forced to leave the room. I would only do this after a perception check to make sure setting off the fire alarm wouldn't trap me in the jewel room
3) Hack into either A) their personal comm feeds or B) the museum PA system, and a deception check that they're needed in the curator's office to discuss protection details

1) The guards on the jewel are external security, ostensibly either imperials themselves or at least on their payroll. Their prime (and honestly, only) concern is the jewel, this one wouldn't work to actually get them to leave the room.
2) That's possibly workable...1 Diff Skullduggery to actually trip the alarm surreptitiously, followed by a 2 Diff one to not get "forcibly evacuated" by the guards.
3) Same Diff as deception-ing them to their face.

Yeah, Vy is going to head to the auction house and make some inquiries there, but given how it was written I feel like waiting for the results of the Holonet search makes sense. I'll post as soon as the results are in.

You literally just want to try to break his arms? I cannot WAIT to see how this goes. Diff 3 Brawl then.

He's a thief. Broken arms, no chance of him trying to steal the Jewel, no improved security. When all you have is Brawn 5 a hammer, you solve every problem with violence treat everything as a nail. Nachkt may be forgetting he is not in the Nar Shaddaa slums anymore.
