[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3673644, member: 7006"] The remaining lizardfolk lies on the ground on his back, weapons removed, and Ari Osten the monster hunter standing over him with one foot squarely on his chest. As Rogan looks down at him, he can see the hatred within the lizard's eyes, and he knows that this will not be an easy thing. This is especially true when the lizardman sees a fellow poison dusk supposedly working with the group (Aern in disguise), and the lizard shouts an obscenity at Aern and spits at him. Ari then grinds his heel into his chest and the guard yelps in pain. [SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray](Current Attitude: Hostile)[/COLOR][/SIZE] Rogan begins talking in draconic, and he watches carefully to see the creature's reaction. The rogue's careful comments and unthreatening manner have a slight effect. The lizard no longer looks like he's ready to bite Ari's foot off and try and make a run for it, but he also is nowhere near ready to help the group out. [SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray](Diplomacy check: [5] + 16 = [B]21[/B] *attitude changed to Unfriendly*)[/COLOR][/SIZE] However... when Ari leans even harder down on the foot that is on the lizard's chest... causing the creature to lose breath and begin gasping for air... the resolve he has begins to melt away with each second of asphixiation. [SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray](Opposed check: Lizard modified level check: [7] + 4 hitdice + 1 wis = [B]12[/B] / Ari Intimidate check: [11] + 11 = [B]22[/B] *Intimidate successful*)[/COLOR][/SIZE] The creature starts waving his arms in desperation, and after a couple seconds the hexer releases most of the pressure off his foot. The lizard begins gasping and coughing and trying to get air back into his lungs. When Rogan hands him the whistle, he takes it tentatively and chokes out some words in draconic. [COLOR=PaleGreen]"No signal for 'false alarm'... all alarms treated as real. Several others will come." [/COLOR] Rogan's eyes narrow and he is about to open his mouth to say something, but the lizard quickly continues. [COLOR=PaleGreen]"But I can signal 'all clear'! Not same as 'false alarm', but probably only one will come to check rather than many. I signal 'all clear', yes?"[/COLOR] With a nod from the group, the lizardfolk blows into the whistle a couple of notes. Loooking over at Aern, the disguised changeling nods that he believes the signal was a proper one. [SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray](Bardic Knowledge check TN 20: [17] + 5 level + 2 int = 24 *success*)[/COLOR][/SIZE] The group now hopefully has only one other guard coming to check on the patrol, plus this one remaining lizardfolk still lying on the ground.
