Istvan:
the stars:
Aaannnnnnd if this were a TV show this right here
quote:
"All right," says Istvan. "You two are clearly just too darn professional to be fooled-- I'm Dr. Istvan Vanoson." He spreads his hands (in a way that could go for his hidden gun like a shot if he thought it was safe to try-- which he doesn't think it is, yet). "Let us reason together."
would definitely be in the trailer.
I think
you need a "favorite quotes" thread, young lady
So yeah I like playing guys who talk their way out of stuff. Not even always CON MEN, not Rinaldo/Lukes, just guys who do something else but who always act like conflict is just a misunderstanding that they can straighten out if you'd just listen to them for like four minutes (even when it is NOT actually just a misunderstanding).
In a Dungeon World game I'm in, every other player but me disappeared (as often happens on RPol), and the GM has decided heck with it it's this guy's solo game now.
--A thief stole a list of names that we were supposed to get back.
--We trailed the thief to some bandits in the woods that he's hiding out with
--My teammates killed two bandits guarding the perimeter.
--I cast invisibility and just walked in and found the thief. He'd given the list to the bandit chief for safe-keeping; it was in the chief's tent
--I walked out and cast a different spell (meaning Invisibility wore off)
--A new bandit patrol showed up and my teammates (who hadn't gone AWOL yet) started picking a fight with them.
--Then the last players went AWOL... and I took over.
--I calmed down the bandits
--A monster suddenly showed up to attack
--We all ran from it into the bandit camp
--I got the bandits to go attack the monster. Charge!
--I told the thief to go get the list from the bandit leader's tent and give it to me
--THEN we went and helped defeat the monster
--Then I asked the bandit leader if he'd seen the thief with the list we were looking for
--He offered to sell me the list THAT I ALREADY HAD IN MY POCKET for 200 gold
--I said we'd go tell our employer the offer
--The thief caught up with us and we ran before anyone found out about the perimeter guards.
This is what an Istvan can bring to the party.
