Here's a timeline for Finnegan's Tradehouse:

1. Draconian Invasion Troop Transport crashes
2. Draconian forward recon units move forward with the surviving War Overlord, Vala'Keer, or "Goldy"
3. Draconians troops move to secure Finnegan's tradehouse; make an example of a bouncer and then begins spreading out throughout the Tradehouse
4. Korwath (Right?) Trader's Guild arrives at a distanced clearing; Draconian aerial units inspect
5. Trader's Guild Shipmaster temporarily disables Draconian Infantry Unit; threatens the resulting gathering of Draconian soldiers
6. Is ordered to stand down by the Commander's second in command; refuses and has missiles launched at Draconian aerial units
7. Draconians open fire, taking it as a declaration of war
8. Valkyries arrive; sends down a group of soldiers
9. Draconians retreat, still firing on Korwath Trader's Guild Shipmaster and her bodyguards, doesn't fire on anyone else
10. Draconian heavy tanks and automated infantry units take up positions some distance from the Tradehouse, at the edge of the forest closest to the Draconian crashed ship

Monkey, might I ask how your Trader is so fearless in the face of a bunch of soldiers aiming at you with large, powerful weapons, while gunships hover above you and two tanks sit in the background? They are warriors of high caliber, and you treated them with a great deal of contempt. A Trader- someone who bargains and buys or sells items to people for the best deal possible- did the worst thing you could do. They offered a deal, more or less, though in their own forceful way. That wasn't diplomatic- you were showing people who outgunned and outnumbered you utter contempt. That's just... it's like the Draconians there talking to the Valkyries. Except, instead of shoving past them after trying to kill one of their representatives, in gestures of contempt, they ran, believing that they were enemies and because they were very much outgunned and outnumbered.

I honestly have no idea how that's supposed to be a successful Trader, unless you're selling stuff real high-up, where the deal is negotiated beforehand and is passed over. But that's not a Trader, that's agreeing on a deal and then having a quick switch someplace.

In other words, might I ask the reasoning behind your character in the face of the Draconians?
