RANK 1 • You’ve got the wrong guy, I tell ya!: You have no idea how on Konryu the Sentry have mixed you up with a seven-foot Arybar wanted for counterfeiting, but they have, and they’ve brought you in for questioning. When they finally do seem to realize that, as you say, you are not the droid one they’re looking for, most of a day has passed. Local criminals, though, don’t know that you didn’t say anything, so prepare to get some rough treatment from the gangs for a few weeks until they know that you didn’t rat them out. • Perfidy!: You run towards the sound of a scream and run to help, only to find someone standing there utterly unconcerned. Before you can even ask what’s wrong, they yell again for the Sentry, and point at you, accusing you of some crime or other. With the Sentry distracted by accosting you, you can see them - and an accomplice! - slipping away to rob a nearby shop. Great. Now you’re the patsy. As the sound of a robbery breaks out, you get the feeling that you’re going to need a lawyer. (You’ve seen some signs for some kedan around…)
RANK 2 • I was gonna clean my room, but then I got high...: Poor you - you stumbled into a drug deal that abruptly went south, and the kedan who was selling shoved some of her product at you in order to keep you quiet. You could either turn it in to the Sentry, and have them ask questions, or keep it for yourself. Just what is this ‘Dust’ stuff, anyway?
RANK 3 • You dropped this very illegal thing, friend.: Ow! Someone bumped into you in the street and dropped something, but when you went to pick it up and give it to them, they ran away. Turns out it’s a very valuable kirin horn - and also, probably, very stolen. Still...if you can turn that around on the black market, bit of a windfall for you, eh? • Face/Off: You’re getting some nods of respect in the street, and have no idea what that’s about. After a little while you surmise that a kedan gang member has been wearing your likeness to commit crimes, and the criminal underworld thinks that you’ve done them. You can either demur, which means they’ll probably go “oh, yeah, suuuure”, or you can play it up. But if you do the latter, the real culprit might catch wind that you’re claiming to be them, who’s in turn claiming to be you...this is confusing.
RANK 4 • Woohoo! Free bling!: Who doesn’t love a free sample? Especially when it’s someone else getting the sample for you, and when it probably shouldn’t strictly be free in the first place. An Erol’a thief has reverse-pickpocketed some jewelry onto you as you left a store, likely hoping to re-pickpocket it from you later. Joke’s on them - you found it first. I mean, since you didn’t steal it personally, it’s okay to keep, right?
RANK 5 • Five-Finger Discount: Well, well, well, look who’s made a name for themselves. Someone seems to be kindly-disposed towards you; you’ve got your pick of the litter so far as wares go on the Kel’ghau, and that thing you have your eye on? Why, the seller’s offering to let you have it at a reduced price. They like the cut of your jib. And, more importantly, the jingle of your rhinn.
