Forest of Doom - IC Thread

Kip watches his companions silently, the warmth of the stone against his chest still a bit odd, same with the weight. The lone dagger still out is spun about and disappears into its sheath.

Suits me fine. I'm sure there are other things in the forest that would like to get to know him. Have you a name, should we come across a Druid further on our trip? We could always send him back to help.

This last line is directed at the sweating shadowed figure.

Jonath Cailan:

Jonath, who had remained warily silent through most of the exchange, regards the trapped man impassively. "My friends are willin' and able to leave you here, to your own devices. I'd say that gives yeh jus' one last chance to come clean. Give us your name an' your purpose here, or we'll gladly leave you to the wolves - or worse."

Man:

"Eh... Callus. Callus the Hermit."

GM: I'll roll for Jonath's Diplomacy, d20-1.
 

GM: The man glares angrily at Jonath.

"Curse you, and all your kin!"

GM OOC: BTW I noticed that Jonath's character description "Roguish good looks, rapier-sharp wit" is not supported by his CHA 8. I'm ok if you'd like to reassign points to CHA. I'll often allow a 'take 10' where that would succeed on a low DC roll. In this case it was DC 10, take 10 allowed, so if Jonath had even had CHA 10 he would have auto-succeeded, whereas CHA 8 gave a 45% chance of success.

OOC: I disagree; he's definitely got a rapier-sharp wit, based on his Intelligence score. What he lacks is the ability to make friends and influence people; he's not the most outgoing of guys, he fades into the background in a tavern scene, and he's not a leader. And good looks are the weakest justification for a high Cha. :D
 

"Curse you, and all your kin!"

Paaq raises an eyebrow in befuddlement. "An interesting, if poorly thought, response," he says, keeping his voice calm an even. "Callus, I pray that you have some close kin yourself, for I do not know how you might ever befriend others."

He shakes his head as he walks away. "Let us continue, friends. This man is not worth any more of our time. I see the trail turns north up ahead. Let's see where it goes." He looks to each of his comrades to check consensus. "Shall I lead for a bit?"

"So long as our tracker doesn't mind, my dear baker." Eric stretchs out his shoulder and walks away from the trapped man, justice having been done. He offers a silent prayer that the man be guided toward the better path in the future.
 

OOC: Sorry for the late post, took hubby to have lung biopsy and dealing with pulled muscle in back. So today hasn't been one of my better ones. But I'm here now ;)

Keena nods her head.

"I am ready to go. This vagabond has wasted enough of our time. If he truly wants out of that strap, I believe he could get himself out. Maybe he will chew off his foot to do so like a wolf."

GM: You pass the trapped man and depart along the trail, Paaq taking point with Keena just behind. You get 300/6 = 50 XP for overcoming this CR 1 encounter. :)
