Advanced Negotiations
Scenario:
You are to attend a diplomatic meeting with a historically hostile party. This party has had a long history of violent confrontation with your people and has a reputation for dishonesty. Yet, the rules of conduct for this mediated meeting are that no one be armed nor display anything that could be construed as aggressive. What do you do? Explain your reasoning.

You follow the guidelines as they've been set up, but you prepare yourself to improvise. Get a read on the body language of the party in front of you, see if they look like they're getting ready to do anything. Make sure you do a scan of the area before you step into it to make sure they've been following the guidelines they set out.
Be the one to behave in good faith but have a back-up plan ready in case they aren't doing the same.
