[LPF] Dwarven Crusade: Khuldun

Gerald007 · Jun 9, 2012

Syl holds his tongue here. He finds himself perfectly charming, but he had learned that most others didn't share in that belief. This was for Nate and Zelena it seemed. If this tact failed however, Syl had gotten pretty good at threatening, so he and Borric could take over.

((Apologies for holding things up... Dealing with life and children ))

Zelena smiles and nods to Nathan, The lad is coming into his own quite nicely.

She then turns her attention to the door, "Pardon us. We are here on behalf of our benefactor, one Aldino Galucci, whom has sent several letters to one Neezhhka already. As no reply was revived we are here to gain an audience in person. If you are Neezhka or know of the renowned Neeshka, we would ask for a bit of your time to discuss a matter of importance to Master Galucci."

The quiet stretches on for a long while after Zelena speaks and then there is the harsh sound of an iron bolt being slide back though not without a bit of difficulty. It would appear Neezhka does not receive many visitors. The small window built within the door opens and an ancient and severely lined and weathered face of a dwarf or maybe a gnome fills the small opening. The one visible eye darts back and forth among the members of the group.

"I'm listening."

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric tries to hold his tongue like his friend Syl, but his restraint is just able to last for very long. Pity, he is not very good at verbal banter of the persuasive sort. Unable to keep the impatience from his tone, the brash fighter says, "Eh? What the fook is this? Come on, open up the damned door."

Nathan Tchanlach, human sorcerer

Nathan hopes his glance back to Borric doesn't show his own nerves. Instead, he pushes forward, trying to cover for the courser fighter's push.

"You'll have to forgive my friend," Nathan says with his most charming smile. "But good Aldino has been so very effusive about your work, even my less scholarly-minded acquaintance can't help but feel an overwhelming excitement and eagerness now that our long journey seems it might be close to fruition. I'm sure you understand?"

She looks up at the small opened door slot, "Ahhh... Hello there! I am Zelena," she then motions to each as she introduces them, "This here is Nathan, this is Borric, and Syl."

Zelena motions to the elder man, "This is our esteemed benefactor, Aldino Galucci. He is the one that made the discovery of some works that you might have knowledge of. We wish to discuss it and it with you, if you would permit."

The gnome makes a motion of the street the group still finds themselves in, "Perhaps discussing this matter in a more private setting might be in order? If you do not wish us to enter your dwelling, perhaps one of the many establishments in town? The Lilypad is a fine place that could be used, if that would put your mind at ease?"

Neezhka peers through the little window at the group gathered around it. She particularly gives Borric a hard stare and a frown but then again it seems her face is twisted into a permanent scowl so it may not be the fighter's fault.

"I don't craft wizard's books anymore. If that's what you're here for you'll leave disappointed."

She steps back from the door. Hinges creak as she begins to close the window...

Nathan Tchanlach, human sorcerer

"Lucky for us, we've already got one of them, then, isn't it?" Nathan says pleasantly. "But, as any good tome of knowledge should, this one's left us with all new questions, and we thought there wouldn't have been a finer consultant to bring them to that you."

The gnome looks up and is getting annoyed with the woman within for not letting the group in or agreeing to meet somewhere rather than stand on the street for all to hear. She tries to hide that frustration as she looks down the street from one side to another before continuing...

Nodding to Nathan and picking up where he has left off, "Aye, there is no need to be disappointed this day. We are not asking you to craft anything this find day. We are seeking information on a discovery that Master Galucci has made."

"As I have asked, a more private venue would be preferable than talking through a door on a street where sensitive knowledge may find its way to an undesirable element. The Lilypad, can be made available, and we would be willing to facilitate you with good food and drink while we discuss matters further?" she asks of Neezhka

(( Sense Motive to get a read on the woman within and how best to change things up, if needed to make some decent in roads in the conversation...1d20+11=28 ))

(( Perception to notice anything suspicious happenings 1d20+14=32 ))

(( Diplomacy 1d20+12=13 +2 for aid is a 15 {note: unlike combat a 1 is not an automatic failure for skills}))

Zelena's glance up and down the street doesn't show any suspicious goings on and the street is fairly empty of passersby at the moment...

Nathan's flattery, or the mention of new questions, arrests the window's closing and Neezhka continues to peer out of it. There's curiosity there, Zelena sees, but Aldino's description of Neezhka as a recluse doesn't even come close to the truth: she seems afraid to open the door and pressuring her to go out or let in strangers is clearly not going to work. Unfortunately Zelena doesn't realize this until after she's offered up the hospitality of the Lilypad and she sees the wrinkled woman's eyes grow hooded and distant. There may be no choice but to tell Neezhka what they want from the street and you'll have to talk fast to keep her from retreating entirely.

"I hear a lot of talking but little of what you want..."

To the side of the door Aldino rummages in his pack and pulls out the paper with the faded rune and pushes it into Sylvain's hands (who happens to be standing closest to him) with a triumphant waggle of his overgrown eyebrows.
