As the rapping sound continues to punctuate the eerie silence of the haven, Samad and Thad close in on the source. Peering over the counter, Samad sees a hunched over man, one butter knife in each hand, tinging them together in nearly perfect time. His clothes are tattered, and his body bears...

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/livingpf/images/5/53/Ethane.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/200?cb=20150423143956Upon hearing Barlo's commentary, Ethane begins to cast a spell as well. At the end of the spell, he looks about, to the gnome, to his compatriots, and to the group of merfolk...

Charity, Human Female http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140319050633/livingpf/images/7/72/CharityMowgli150.pngTaking a last look through the shop, Charity nods as Francis gets the deal he was arguing for. "Well alright then, people. Let's hit the road." Turning to the shopkeeper, she adds...

Grog seems like he is about to speak, but Lem's turnabout on the rat subject and general turn in conversation seems disappointing to him. He adds a quick, "Tasty fer me," and leaves it at that. He goes back to wiping down the bar as the adventurers muse about the rat issue. Commander Jacobson...

Welcome to LPF, TillForPie. We'll be trying to get to your character ASAP. As noted, I classically recommend something less squishy, but do not require it. Coming off of having a Con 12 / d8 hit die ranged character torn down to -25 HP in two rounds just this last weekend in a live game, I am...

Commander Jacobson http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140330070323/livingpf/images/7/73/Jacobson.jpg With a check back over her shoulder, Commander Jacobson of the White Cloaks steps into the Dunn Wright Inn. Turning her small 5'2" frame back towards the main room, her eyes scan the dimly lit...

Charity, Human Female http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140319050633/livingpf/images/7/72/CharityMowgli150.pngNodding as the shopkeeper describes how the steam for the sauna is to produced, Charity observes, "Sounds like a lot of work, but then again, it gives a nice result." Listening to the...

Barlo casts a magical spell, allowing his eyes to see the magical currents of the place. As before, he notices the background level to be somewhat elevated, although not to the point that it prevents the spell from being useful. Another quick glace, a calibration of sorts, at Ethane allows him...

As long as we're not trying to pretend he's an expert when compared to the pool of armorers, fine. I was merely objecting to the apparent creation of yet another detail, and I do understand the principle of charity well enough to give reasonable assumptions. In any case, I think we're dealing...

You tend to focus on one word or phrase and ignore the overall meaning. So I'll reiterate it to help communication along. The blacksmith found new information and changed his course of action, abrupt or not. And this constitutes another part of the narrative. More the DM didn't remember / think...

What is it you consider to be description added to the scene by me? I see analysis of others' description, and noting what plate armor is like.

The Diner Samad peeks into the room, and finds it o be a rather large room, some eighty feet wide and fifty feet deep. Judging from the appointments, it seems to be some sort of dining area, with multiple long tables and a number of heavy, high back chairs. The back left (north-east) corner of...

Why? Do you think so?

The step I'm referring to is the blacksmith abruptly stopping unbundling the armor because he found new information and he wishes to deceive. It's not something that reasonably would be true from other information to that point, it's a shift in what he's doing. It's the overall picture I'm...

I was actually giving the leeway that the blacksmith is actually specialized in armor, an armorer, whatever. (More murky language, IMO, but whatever.) If that is all you are trying to assert, that he is an armorer, I agree. That is apparently his skill set, and we're not talking about someone...

So having above average skill in blacksmithing is required to have sufficient wealth? There is no other way a person can have that level of wealth? Can you support that with more than simple assertion?

I was applying occam's razor to the proposed explanation, which has added yet another unmentioned step. Please do not misrepresent that. Oh, and the blacksmith has to be 'expert' too, apparently, with no mention? And, of course, the DM can't remember one whit of any of this? Less and less...

Minor wrinkle: A few have referred to the blacksmith as 'expert'. Is there any basis for this? (Other than it's now needed to make the story work.) I can find none, other than that he was a blacksmith.

That's not what I was talking about in regard to the occam's razor problem. I'm saying this entire spiel is rather complex, and as a conjecture, not as strong as a much simpler explanation. The addition of yet another step to makes it even weaker. To add further to this problem, the DM doesn't...

OK, first, that wasn't the point of why I mentioned it, whatsoever. I was illustrating the flow of events and how I feel it didn't work in favor of the now-modified, and completely unstated/unremembered by the OP despite being very specific 'starts to unbundle armor, sees the ring, then stops in...
