Do I keep goading the crown dude, team? I'm supposed to be sassy and standoffish, but he sounds like a questgiver. Probably shouldn't, right? :P

Quick question: What skill roll would be needed to try and identify the 'dwarf' creature? Arcana, Cultures, something else?

I'm assuming its not a regular member of the dwarven species ofcourse. :)

Either Cultures or Songs and Tales.

I've been pretty swamped with work and social engagements, so my posting is going to be a little slow this week, and perhaps this week.  Thanks for your patience!

I guess taking a look wasn't the best idea.

Well, it was supposed to be the crowned warrior, so...

So do we need a roll to squeeze out of a window?

Syndelia, Jerec, and Ehrendril (whom I haven't decided what to do with) would not need to roll.  Barakus and the Crowned Warrior would.  Paran and Trog won't fit out the window.  Acrobatics seems the best skill to use.

Stay put, humans, you're going to spoil my sharpshootin' :P

Sorry about that Syndelia, but given she will be aiming for a couple of rounds (unless it moves) I figure Narrator would have auto rolled to see if the creature spotted us anyway, unless the inn was between Jerec & Ehrindrel and the creature (if we found a window at the rear of the inn)

@Narrator: How heavy does the mallet in the creature's hand seem? Also how far away from Jerec is it approximately ?

Joking, naturally you want to get as far as possible from that brute.

I'll see if I can do some serious damage to it, and if not, maybe I can distract it and outrun it while you guys get out of the building.

The mallet is big.  Its haft is just a hair shorter than Jerec.

As far as the window, I did miss that you were looking for one towards the rear.  There are none in the absolute back, but some were far enough back that you'll get significant bonuses to stealth (I'll calculate them in).  From where you are, I'd say you're close to 35 meters away from the creature.

Have I reached +40 yet?

Also, can you guys kill the Crowned dude for me while I take care of the giant? Pretty please?

Oh yeah, you've been sitting there for a hot minute and have this creature solidly within your aim.

OK, here goes nothing...

...I think it was an OK shot?

Would you say facing the giant alone, and one-shotting him, is hitting this:

Nature: "Never waste a chance to show I'm smarter, stronger, more capable or just meaner"

for Drive?

Yeah, that seems pretty reasonable!  Don't forget to remind me about Drive, folks.

Perfectly! In fact I would say it qualifies for more than 1 PT.

Cool, ta! :)

Goodness, I'm pretty swamped.  I'm not trying to neglect you all, but I need a minute before I can jump back in.  And by a minute, I mean I should have a post on Friday at the latest.

And please poke me if I'm missing a response to someone.  I totally spaced on Korag, but I like to think he's more concerned with his bar than anything else.

Oops, missed this earlier! Don't worry about Korag, I had a feeling he wasn't going to be terribly grateful anyway :P  Unswamped? Can we do something to help? I suppose we all need to go see the Loremasters, so I'm gonna go a little soft on the crownbaby for a second, if that helps :)

Although he deserves an arrow in the ass, truth be told.

Trog was not advocating that we kill the "crown man", just that should it happen the crown would then be able to be removed.

I know, Trog, but Syn's very much pro-smashing the crownbabe :P

We're closing in on a chapter break, and I'll be handing out XP soon.  Continue to roleplay, but know that the times they are a'changing.
