[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9293507, member: 20459"] [I][B]PA'AVU [/B]has been watching the stage with a mildly bored look on her face. It was certainly entertaining--at first--to see the bladeling warriors laying waste to the "civilization" of the city of Bantouk, but now the performers are just pandering. She has seen it all before, in her time as the merchant prince's bodyguard: keep the plain folk--the not-fancy, not-pampered, not-rich folk--entertained and there would be fewer complaints, fewer insurrections. This performance is not even inventive or original: it reminds the goliath of slapstick jokes of her fellow younglings in the long-ago times, not the more nuanced entertainment of adults--both goliath and others. When one of the overly pampered audience members stumbles and spills her sticky, fruity beverage all over J'zadah, Pa'avu is initially amused. A good example for her erstwhile pupil on the not-so-niceties of hanging with the common folk, and something in keeping with the silly burlesque on stage. The goliath is even pleased at the young laborer defending one he clearly claims as one of his own, evidence that the costume the empress has donned is doing its work. She is being taken as one of her own people, but not one with any power. Hence this defense. But the situation changes, threatens to darken as her equally pampered companions and their guards begin to press in and protect their elevated station from what they are perceiving as an insult to [B]their [/B]foolish and inept friend and protectee. So, they use not only their station and their power but their sheer number as well? Not on her watch: someone as brave as this young man deserves her strength behind him. And so the goliath, towering over them all, probably recognizable despite her wearing common and plain clothing (in the style of her people), steps up behind the young human, lays her hand on his shoulder in support, and glowers down at the courtesans and their bodyguards, hoping they will thus realize the foolishness of daring to even make a move against the righteous laborer. [/I] [HR][/HR] * Pa'avu makes a Primary Skill Intimidate check to show the woman's friends and defenders that the righteous young man is not unprotected and thus forestall a brawl: r13+13= 26 vs. 20 Medium DC. Success!! [/QUOTE]
