Main Page: Extracting Aleece
Preceded by The Arrival
The heroes stand guard outside Aleece's quarters as she readies for her uncle's party. Her escort for the night, Snaeb Fronk, arrives and soon reveals his suspicions, asking her several heated questions. Read the following text aloud:
While keeping watch, you listen through the door as Aleece greets her guest. The couple's meeting seems full of pleasantries. Suddenly, Fronk's vaice turns hard, and he says that he knows what she's really up to.
"Oh? And what is that?" she replies.
"Don't play naive with me! I've seen you- I've been watching you," he says. "You and your little network of spies-" You hear a slap. "You're a feisty one," Fronk continues. "But no matter. It's too late for you. I've informed your uncle of your treasonous ways. You'll be in the spice mines of Kessel before this is done."
To prevent the situation from escalating further, the heroes can enter Aleece's quarters to silence Fronk or otherwise detain him- a relatively easy task for 12th-level characters. A successful Persuasion check to Intimidate Fronk against his Will Defense of 13 causes him to back down from the confrontation.
The heroes might try to question Fronk, although he is antagonistic and loyal to the Empire to a fault. With another successful Persuasion check to Intimidate him, the heroes learn that Fronk has not actually revealed his suspicions about Aleece to Moff Krax or the Moff's guards- he was bluffing to frighten her. However, Fronk did share his doubts with a few Imperial officers over a round of drinks at the cantina last night.
