[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4944209, member: 834"] [sblock=OOC]All right. If I gave +2 to the previous, I pretty much have to give +2 to that. That'd a 14 on DC 15 but the lines are so dead on what would be needed to crack a guy whose back is to the wall that I will handwave it to a +3 and make it a success. [/sblock] -''All right. I don't see why I should protect his operations anyway if that jackass is going to endanger mine.'' Castor says suddenly. -''Boss...'' one of the guard says warningly. -''No! Rinch is starting to bring in more trouble than his protection is worth. I had a captain of the guard come in yesterday for a word and now this... this is no way to run a business. Beside, these two items have been acquired from his source in the asylum. Can you believe that? Not only is he causing trouble on his own, but even the merchandise he sends my way cause trouble, now! His source accounts for less than 5% of my stock but now accounts for 100% of my trouble! I don't know what that madman thinks he's doing, but it's not earning gold, that's for sure! I think that lunatic is in the business of being scary, plain and simple.'' Castor shouts at his bodyguard, plainly venting accumulated frustrations. -''You want to know where I got this? It came from...'' -''ENOUGH!'' came a powerful voice from the stairs. ''You forget your place, Castor.'' A powerfully built human walks down from the second floor, wearing chaimail and bearing arms. -''You are just a guest here, it is you who forget your place, Damien.'' Castor shoots back venomously. -''Ah... yes, I think it is time to strip you down of some illusions. For example, you need to stop thinking that these are your men...'' Damien says smothly. On these words, the guards ominously close ranks and draw their weapons. -''Sorry boss, but we can't turn on Rinch...'' says the closest bodyguard. -''These meddlers must not continue their investigation. Kill them all.'' Pandemonium erupts in the tavern as the bystanders, who had already started moving away now rush toward the exits. [sblock=OOC]As the guards have drawn their weapon, so have you. No surprise round. Let me roll initiative and place everyone on the map. It might takes me until tomorrow as I have some stuff to do. Obviously. you have a vested interest in keeping Castor alive. He's not a 1 hp minion so it shouldn't be too difficult.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
