Re: A Plain-Spoken Man
Arnan whistled softly when Kira held up a silver-tipped arrow for him to see. "*Very* nice," he replied, agreeing with her assessment of the weapons.
He watched closely and saw that some of the others picked up two weapons -- or sets of weapons, if you considered the arrow. He would have made do with just the arrows if necessary, but he felt better about also having a silvered rapier, too -- just in case.
"Thank you for these," he said to Mithann. "I almost hope that we will not need them -- but if we do, they may well mean the difference between life and death for us."
He nodded to Morgrim when the Dwarf spoke of heading out when good weather -- relatively speaking, given the time of year -- looked to be in the offing. "Hengar and I will study the clouds and the wind, and see if we can predict what the weather is likely to do. 'Tis not a sure thing -- well, other than the cold, of course -- but we can at least make the effort. You are welcome to work with us, and put your own knowledge of the weather to good use, if you are so inclined."
OOC:
11:18, Today: Arnan Aldwynne rolled 12 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 8. Meteorology, Forgotten Realms Style (Survival).
Note: I rolled a Survival (instead of a Nature) check for Arnan, since the PHB (p. 178) lists predicting the weather as one of the uses of this skill.
