Prince Aladdin Quest (Disney Villains *Almost* Victorious)

Yeah, she is. And now I need to *somehow* watch S2 in Germany, because we have only S1 over here :) Ah well, I have two turns to find it.
 
Heh, kinda wonder what the rival reports for the Igthorn quest would look like, and how they see things happening over in the Middle East.
 
I listen and obey, but that'll be probably on the weekend, and I'll have to hit you for information.
(Like, for instance, when I should set Igthorn in relation to Aladdin)
 
Alrighty folks, the cutoff has came and went. All XP expenditures are locked in, no takebacks, no last second additions. Now, let's roll dem dice!
 
Here are the results!

Martial: 84! Success!
Stewardship: 70! Success!
Diplomacy: 167! Success!
Intrigue: 165! Success!
Learning, Heart-Shaped Herb: 92! Success!
Learning, Green Thumb: 120! Crit into 210!
Occult: 138! Great success!
Life's A Zoo: 46! Success!
Tai Lung: 52! Bare failure!
Cade and Leah: 77! Success!
Selous: 92! Great success!

Aladdin vs. Davy Jones
Meeting: 106 v 93! Aladdin success!
Diplomacy: 48 v 42! Aladdin success!
Extra concessions? 1!
Separation: 51 v 82! Jones success!

Can't wait for the narrative!

Ouch. Love this quest's Tai Lung, hurts to see.
The way bare failures work, they make the subsequent attempt a lower DC; hopefully this applies to Personals just as much as Nationals.

I have to say, I'm thrilled that the Diplomacy and Intrigue gambles paid off. We also got to train with the Sirrush and really did well on making Selous like us more. Hopefully his loyalty has gone up commensurately.

For next turn's personals, I was thinking about having Selous and Faria work on their Arabic together. With luck there will be a synchronization bonus.
 
Damn, I wish I could have spent more XP on the Cade/Leah thing... and I really thought Tai Lung didn't need any more help :/

Huh. Well the first was a crit, but Jones wasn't far behind. Unless crits don't apply here though, it probably works the same. Good for us!

The actual diplomacy was mixed. We still beat out Jones, but neither him or Aladdin rolled well. It's still good, and we got an extra concession, but eh. Glad we pumped the XP here.

And on his way out, Jones made a point. Nothing to harmful, but... probably something that will stay with us.

Jokes and all aside, holy shit this is great.

Hmm... Let's see, Aladdin impresses Davy initially, followed by dealing a bit better then him diplomatically and gaining some respect from the psychopomp. This leads to an unfortunate situation of Davy finding Aladdin just interesting enough to decide to keep coming back, leaving the meeting with an ominous "Be seeing you..." or something like that.

Is there actually any benefits to Davy making this his port if call or are we going to play appease the ferryman of death every time he comes back
