[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 2775306, member: 3271"] [b]More talking to Grandma...[/b] Theo's grandmother wavers...caught between courtesy to her guests and something else, Jaan sees. [sblock] Sense Motive = 5+6...Jaan has no idea what else, but she's conflicted about something. [/sblock] Wilhelm bravely leaps into the breach. [sblock] Diplomacy check 16+4=20. Jaan's diplomacy check is now 5+5+2+2=14 [/sblock] Grandma's mouth begins to soften. Kish rushes in to seize his advantage. [sblock] Diplomacy check is 6+0=6. Jaan's diplomacy check remains at 14. [/sblock] Grandma fixes Kish with a gimlet eye [sblock] Sense Motive check =5+8=13[/sblock] and says tartly, in Elvish [COLOR=Black]"Do you talk to your grandmother at home in that tone of voice, young man?"[/COLOR] [sblock] Diplomacy check=5+5 +2 (circumstance bonus: brave little Setis got the DM all teary)+2 (Grandma really loves cats)=14. Jaan's Diplomacy check is now 16. This, by the way, is why I prefer to roll, at least right now.) [/sblock] The brave little katara melts Grandma's heart. "Ohh you brave little darling!" she says adoringly. Clomping forward on her canes, she lowers herself to her knees and gives Setis a hug and several kisses on the top of his head, praising him in baby-talk. Kith's keen ears distinctly pick up the word "Snooky-ukkums". After a moment, she looks up from embracing Setis. "It won't really hurt anyone if you go up there." She coughs gently. "But there are some things up there that need some...explanation." She pauses for a moment to think. "Theo, dear, I need to talk to your friends. Go upstairs and play in your fort, please." Theo turns white. "I...don't wanna play in my fowt, Gwamma." He gulps. "Wanna stay down hewe wit Mistew Jaan and Mistew Iwontowew." "Theo, you need to go upstairs and play in your fort. Now." Theo closes his eyes. "NO!" "[I]Theodoric Malcolm Godwin[/I]! I'm ashamed of you. Do you think paladins ever talk to their grandmothers that way? There's one right behind you. Do you want to ask him?" Red battles with white on Theo's face. "No, Gwamma." Theo hangs his head. An enormous tear gathers at one corner of his eye, then falls to the floor. "I'm sowwy." Grandma lets go of Setis with one arm and gathers Theo up in the other. "It's allright, Theo. I won't send them away. And I will let them look in the attic, after we have a little talk. Then we'll all have milk and cookies and they can tell us about their adventures. Won't that be nice?" Theo seems less than confident in this plan, but he's going to be on his best behavior in front of a [I]real paladin[/I] and a [I]real elf[/I]. (And Mr. Irontower and Setis.) Biting his lip, he pastes on a smile and gives his Grandma a hug and a kiss. Then he shakes everyone's hand in turn and says very seriously "Goodbye." Still white faced and biting his lower lip, he walks out the door. [/QUOTE]
