At The Shrine of Luck: Akyra, Ariadne, Khorth, (Sakamoto) |
| | | |
Ariadne Greenthorn:
Not being a "people person", Ariadne didn't try to speak, but merely stood nearby to, perhaps, civilize and soften the image the two towering lizard folk presented. OOC: 23:01, Today: Ariadne Greenthorn rolled 5 using 1d20+4.� Perception
Ariadne tried to ground the group's more exotic members. It might have even worked, had Khorth not just threated to kill everyone in the room if they didn't hand over diamond worth more gold than most of the people here earned in a decade.
(Fail)
Akyra Clethtinthiallor:
Akyra held her hand out to Khorth, looking at the woman. She looked at the woman and grasped her hands in front of her "Forgive my friend - his passions run deep and does yet know the ways of the civilised folk." ... She crosses her arms, a draconic smile on her face. "And imagine the talk when people hear that your establishment and your Wisdom and kindness was paramount in keeping the saviours of Phandelvin whole. People will travel from water deep, Silverymoon, amn for your wares." ... She leans in. "....not to mention being our exclusive vendor for gear." <OOC: Akyra Clethtinthiallor rolled 14 using 1d20+3.� Wisdom based Persuasion roll.>
Akyra, meanwhile, managed to calm the situation and appeal to the woman's apparent interests.
(Success)
Khorth:
Walking dead and fleshless destroooy life, destroooy the land... yooou are all dependent ooon the land tooo live. That wizard that raised thooose mooonsters wooould have killed everyooone in his mad quest. We hunted him. We killed him, and the red coooovered preys that served him. ... Tiny dancer did nooot have toooo be there. He cooould have left and leave yoooou all tooo slooowly die as the wizard killed this land. But he didn't. He fooought with bravery fooor yooou. He foooought until he died toooo proootect this land that give you all life. ... Another pause... Mother, he was sleepy! Fighting a yawn that would defeat his entire speech, he finished. Tiny dancer is given a chance at life, and yooou can help a heroooo that sacrificed everything foooor yoooou. Today: Khorth rolled 18 using 1d20+4. khorth survival
The whole place still seemed cold to Khorth's initial comments, even after Akyra's message. Things changed, however, when he started speaking of the land. The Miner's Exchange was a mining guild of men and women who depended on the land for their livelihood, and they took pride in the land that they called home. Those with the insight to look around and read faces could tell that there were some here who likely had spoken with the Thayans regarding business deals, with some looks shifting to shame while others moved to anger or disappointment in their fellows. Heads began to nod as Khorth shared his encouragement with them, and heads turned toward Halia.
Halia was moved as well, and opened a series of locks and safes, retrieving a small blue pouch of a soft fabric none of you were familiar with.
"A diamond that size will cost you five hundred, maybe more. I do not have one that size. However, I do have one that is larger, valued at eight-hundred sixty. Mind you, this one jewel is worth more than most in this town will earn in their lifetime. I cannot simply give it to you. I can offer it to you at a discount, however."
Skill Challenge: Successful
You can purchase the diamond you need for 500g worth of value. Of the items that people have mentioned so far as potential barter items, the Immovable Rod will cover 400g worth of that price.
