How Much for the High Explosives?

2 November 2009-

After a series of busy weeks for me (the GM), we were back on track with the B5 campaign. the PCs had arrived at Freedom Station, and had discovered a Narn bar owner who knew a lot about the comings and goings around the station, and was willing to help for the right price. He set us up with the name of a Centauri vehicle mechanic who had supposedly been to the asteroid prison, as well as the name of a human junk dealer who might be able to get us some of the unusual supplies one might need for this sort of expedition.

Logically, the PCs split up, with Craig's SQuG (Spy of Questionable Gender) going with Jeff's Minbari telepath to question the Centauri, and eBill's and Schmitty's characters to shop at the human's junk shop. This was probably the worst possible division of labor, because the Centauri didn't fall for Craig's smooth talk at all, and the human just wanted to help. It ends up that the Centauri needs a starship part that our pirate buddies might have, and that he might grudgingly divulge some information after that item is found. The human, on the other hand, was so accomodating that our shoppers basically spilled their guts to him while shopping for the items we'll need. Anyway, he's going to price a bundle of gear for us that will include some jamming gear, some explosives, and some more serious small arms, so we'll see how we do from there. Then it's off to the hanger to hijack a Drazi prison shuttle. Woot!
