And he didn't even buy me dinner?!

I also realize that I need to invest in a poisoned knife. But then I recalled that poisons have no price. So Felhammer, can you price poisons for me?

I think I know why poisons aren't listed... because of the hundreds of types of aliens in star wars, what's poisonous to one species might not be to another.

I would agree with you, but if that's true, then that means the biochemistry of all the alien races are different enough that the makeup of their cells are radically different. In that case, a human kissing a Selkath could cause all sorts of trouble for both species as the foreign biological matter causes a myriad problems. Likewise, it would mean that we aren't all carbon-based life-forms, which means we couldn't exist in the same atmosphere. And finally, places like Felucia wouldn't really matter because their poisons would be adapted for the species native to it, and thus really oughtn't affect off-worlders.

So if you're correct, then a LOT of things become poison. Also it throws oodles of hard science into Star Wars, which doesn't really have a lot of hard science in it if it can avoid it.

There's definitely some species that don't breathe oxygen, and some that can survive in space. Best not to think too hard about it, I reckon.

Star Wars hand waves issues of complex biology. It does this because Star Wars is a high fantasy setting wrapped in a sci-fi shell. People do not question Elves or Dwarves being affected by the same poisons as Humans, the same principle applies to Star Wars. Another issue is that Star Wars is a setting devoted to exemplifying "the good guys", which means dirty/bad guy equipment like poisons aren't going to be used. This is limiting for an RPG because PC's tend to run the gamut between Luke Skywalker to Boba Fett.

I can't find any rules for poisons. So let's say 1k creds per CL per poison.

Poisons are illegal. That is their price unless you search out a good dealer... ;)

Would Friends in Low Places help in that regard? (I'm also presuming it's not possible to find any worthwhile poisons on the Wheel, but that's not really an issue -- this is more for preparation for the future)

Aye it would. The slums may have the kind of things you are looking for.

From my perspective, every time I post in the IC I am making the rough equivalent of 4-6 normal posts right now. All these different stories and plots are not the easiest thing to manage.

Darth Mastigo again. Of course he would show up here, now, while Graff's favorite toy is "safely" packed away aboard the Red Dawn. Damn the bad luck. But hey! With the station being officially neutral territory, maybe the Sith'll be distracted by legions of spider-bots dropping on him from above.

Also, Graff probably suspects that the pretty Twi'lek is working for somebody - the Sith, or the potential turncoat Moff we're here to meet, or the Alliance, or Station security, or the Mandos... Sure, it's possible that she's merely a vacationer with a thing for tall, skinny Human pilots, but there are just too many factions in play here, and too many of them already seem to know too much about us.

So drink up, play around with her until you get what you're after, and then smother her with a pillow when you're done.
Standard operating procedure.

Is Corellian Sunrise the same as Corellian Brandy with a mint? :P

Edit: Crap and Kelaeon probably would have listed Darth Mastigo as killed based on the Felucia mission...geez my last few missions have sucked.

That's pretty much the plan, except for the smothering part. If she's not a spy there's no need (and it's kind of uncool); if she is a spy, it's better to keep stringing the Honey Trap along in case her replacement is harder to spot and/or prefers… more aggressive methods.

Ice knows the following: The Givin were the indigenous sentient species of the planet Yag'Dhul. They were best known for their natural mathematical ability which made them expert starship builders and astrogators. Other notable features of the Givin were their skeletal appearance, and their ability to survive in a vacuum.

So, yeah. After seeing her go from zero to "Who's your Daddy?" in under two seconds, Graff strongly suspects that "Star" is a pro of some description. Thus offering the bartender a generous "tip" to help narrow down the possibilities.

Ick, I wish those rolls were reversed. Pretty sure most people watching saw me try and convey 'No' to Staen :P

Edit: Ya know...thinking on things I don't know if I'm just tired, paranoid, or right, but I'm starting to suspect something that is making me thing 'Son of a bitch'...

*makes a few notes to self*

On a random note if I glanced around would I see the Givin or did he actually leave the casino?

Edit2: A part of me hopes I'm wrong because right now I'm facewalling going "Damnitdamnitdamnit"
