Can I ignore the setback from smell in Hoth Sludge Winter since I've been inundated with it for the last six hours?

Sure it will look a little intimidating or odd but sure if you want to go that route. Might add it's own set of wrinkles to diplomacy.

I may be mis-understanding, but I think Durasay was actually asking whether wearing the armor during the clean-up could prevent the sludge from affecting the person inside said armor--i.e. avoid taking setback from smelling it during the event, and/or leave the smell (and social penalty) behind with the armor after taking it off?

Granted there is a lake, can I use my lightsaber to cut a hole in the ice in order to go ice fishing? Or is other equipment necessary?

did PCs need to be in the tension thread to benefit from the one upgrade to help fix the base?

A bunch of questions here

One additional one for more public info - it mentions travelling through the icy wastes costs a timeslot (I assume that's there and back) and Junktown is in the same part of the forum, so does it mean it takes minimum 3 timeslots to go to Junktown - one to travel there, one or more while there and one coming back?

I like the idea of ice fishing so sure, and I will say no at this point her command gets filtered down.

Hoth has a lot of ice though.

I don’t see any obvious reason why this wouldn’t be okay, but just to be clear and aboveboard—

Can characters with a power base from a past game draw on that to buy their way into Junk Town? Since one of its use cases is “get 500 credits.” That does assume we have some way of communicating with them, I guess!

Also, do characters going there need to pay tribute every time, or are you on the guest list after the first one? I read it as the latter option, but don’t want to assume.

In the Dark Sermon scene, would a Lore check (or perhaps Force thingy?) grant characters any insight as to what kind of power Zhorrid is tapping or what she's doing with the goat/blood/etc?

Plus the usual 1 difficulty increase from our power level, right? So 4p?

Is it possible to try to logic out what C5-PT is saying? Hacha would prefer to be able to translate rather than just slicing in there.

Slicing will be bad, also sure logic away in your head.

I am going to say no because that is part of the thing, the droid is odd. We are not bypassing that.
