[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9216027, member: 1282"] Okay, it sounds like we've found our first conflict! This sounds like a Skill Challenge, [B][I]Frighten off the Loggers[/I][/B], L1, C2 (6 Successes before 3 Failures; DCs 8/12/19, 1 Hard DC, 2 Secondary Skills, repeat use of same skill steps up DC Easy -> Moderate -> Hard -> Hard +5). Stakes: Success means the loggers will refuse to return to the Chestnut Grove; Failure means they double down and combat, potentially lethal, ensues, such is their fear of the Guildmaster's reprisal. [HR][/HR] [I]It is not much past dawn at the border of Dryope's Grove when the loggers first make their approach. The light is still dim, morning not penetrating the thick canopy above with much efficacy. Sounds travel far and echo. Hoots and screeches, weird chitterings and the low whistle of the wind through the dry leaves of the branches emanate from everywhere and nowhere. The logging party's advance trailblazers, a grizzled woodsman and his teenage son, by the looks of him, are primed for ... something. Their heads turn warily this way and that, and they whisper together fearfully, the father holding his torch before him like a sword at the ready. Clearly, they haven't seen you yet. Behind them, still a quarter-mile off by the sound of it, though sound travels strangely in this place, the logging train proper can be heard laughing and quarreling as folk do to keep their spirits up.[/I] What do you do? This is a Moderate DC (12). [/QUOTE]
