The crew heads out towards the Blue Sector market for some snacks to cheer up after a rough time at the bar. They take this time to pick up their duty reward in the form of supplies that were dropped off by the Rebel Alliance. After a quick visit with the Dolo family lawyer and a brief altercation with a cabbie, they head back to the Dolo ranch to get some rest, spend some private time with Valin, and get ready for their next mission before heading out on their next mission.

Didn’t see that coming.
Thanks for this podcast! I’m learning AoR so I can GM my group. Hearing how y’all handle the roll results helps me grasp what can be done.
Was the betrayal due to an Imperial triumph, or party Despair, or just a plot point.
Thanks for the reply, sorry it took so long coming. I’m going to have to set the blog up to email me when a comment happens so it doesn’t take as long.
That session was from around a year and a half ago (we’ve got a lot of backlog) and I (Jason) only play Vek and do the editing but I’ll make sure to forward the question to the GM Jamie for you. If I remember correctly it was a plot point he was going for but I’ll get back to you as soon as I get a better answer from him.
Hey! Sorry for the delay,
Dietlam’s betrayal was a mix of factors, and honestly it’s been long enough since this session that I’m a little fuzzy on what those were. But I’ll try to give as best a recap and behind the scenes as I can. For what its worth, this is coming back to me as I type. :p
First up, the betrayal and Valin’s capture weren’t just plot points. Valin was originally designed to be something of a GMPC for me as we went through, a role he does adopt pretty much every time he comes on screen, but he was meant to be a talky-diplomat type, In fact his conception came about as something along the lines of “Princess Leia, but a guy.” Valin was originally meant to be a main member of the cast.
Two things changed that.
Most importantly was the results of the Imperial sessions. Everyone did really well in that game, in fact even better than I had expected, the result being – once I worked out the timelines of Rebels and Imperials – That the Imps were close on their heels. Really, really close. I can’t attribute this to just one triumph or moment, though I do know that the way Aland had Vakarian blackmail Reebo was a major boost for the bad guys.
The Dolos have a lot of contacts througout Corellia and it made sense to me that Diet’lam or Fal’not would have been tipped off that the ISB was on their way, but not with any real sort of timeframe to work with. So Diet’lam’s betrayal was to protect his son.
I think I originally had plans for him to try to swing a Lando on Cloud City moment of “The Princess and the Wookie were supposed to stay here with me!” but James’ use of triumph to make Valin Force Sensitive made that impossible.
I hope that answers your question sort of? In short: Yes there was triumph and despair invovled. but I can’t remember the specifics of what and where.
