Re: Chapter 1.1f Speaking with the Acrobats (Gabriel and Julian)
Julian put his arm around Blythe, grinning.
"Nah, you should probably buy two. I'll take it if Gabriel doesn't - its an unfortunate man that's too busy to accept the warm hospitality of new friends."
He took a strong pull on the drink offered and felt his ego and confidence swelling. An objective observer aware of such a development might wonder how such a miracle could occur, Julian's ego and confidence being what they were. Satisfied, he started being his entertaining self - asking them about where they'd been, swapping stories and jokes and generally having a good time.
As a good sport, he even includes Gabriel in on it.
[Private to GM:
Just hand-waving it a bit here; he's going to try and sleep with Blythe that night.
11:39, Today: Julian Uth Argus rolled 35 using 1d20+24. Persuasion.
- using it here as Diplomacy, to make friends and be a generally fun guy to hang around
- machanically speaking, a 35 is good enough to make even the Indifferent into Helpful; not sure how far that'd go in ingratiating myself to Blythe though]
