A "character driven" FR campaign.

Voadam · Dec 16, 2005

I updated my character sheet to reflect my new euipment (thanks Nicos). I also threw in a new picture. I'll try and find a black robe one.

Sense Motive for lies and Bardic Knowledge on LW's last post (link)

Lord Wyrm · Dec 17, 2005

My bluff is +17 with Beguiling influence and that is fairly close to the truth, except for that last part about location and such.

Ion · Dec 17, 2005

Nicos: Bluff (10+11+6=27)
Medowbrook: Bardic Knowledge (18+13=31), Sense Motive (1+5=6)
Voadam: Sense Motive (19-1=18)
Firen: Sense Motive (12+7=19)

Nicos' actions haven't given anyone reason to suspect that he is not being entirely truthful about his master Retsilah. While you've never heard of Retsilah, his story, as Nicos tells it, is believable.

Medowbrook might consider Nicos' description fails to address the subtleties of Waterdeep, but what he says is generally correct. Nicos does have a record of standing against Xanathar's Guild, though it is kept pretty hush hush.

The diplomats sent to Waterdeep after the end of the elven retreat have since moved on to establish contact with other locations. Medowbrook has a pretty good hunch that a moon elf sailor named Lolaan Cauladra could get word to Amlaruil's Elven Court. He's been known to frequent The Grey Griffon, a tavern in Dock Ward, when he's in port.

Wouldn't the fact that Meadowbrook has never heard the name of a fairly powerful, if not very powerful, wizard cause her some reason to be suspicious?

If it was a fairly powerful wizard from waterdeep, then I would say hell yes.

This is a fairly powerful wizard, but he is one from halfway around the world who came from all the way around the world (according the Nicos...) I don't think Medowbrook would consider herself so knowledgable as to have heard of every notable person in the forgotten realms yet.

Actually, it's on the same continent…

Okay, if you say so. Does she have to take at his word or can se investigate it?

She absolutely can investigate it. As I understand it, here whole shtick is learning things and being knowledgable.

All I'm saying is there is no reason (yet?) to believe Nicos isn't a reliable source of information on Retsilah.
