check when he is surprised by the sudden ap-

pearance of Boba Fett at his ship's hatch.

cessful check. No uncanceled Success symbol

appears in any pool. Assume that the first two

pools represent a smuggler encountering a boun-

ty hunter. The last represents a standard skill

check. Below are interpretations of these results.

  uncanceled Y. The smuggler fails to sneak
  past the bounty hunter.

knock it over and he spots you. anyway."

tempt has loosened the few decent handholds

this far down."
