That's  not something you see every day, but perhaps since it is not of our  world it doesn't eat things like us? (Nature Check 26 - +2 to next  primary Skill check)     Braddock steps forward confidently. "We be different, tha' be true.  But we can work together. Ye surely be knowin' of the dragons of Icetop  Mountains." He looks back at his companions, "Tha' be in Northern  Karrnath now." Then turning again to address the drake, "Bout 2000 years  ago, the dragons who inhabited the caverns of the Icetop Mountains were  being burned out by goblins. It was the dwarves of the Mror Holds which  stopped them." (History Check 27 - SUCCESS)     Rikka growled softly as she surveyed the situation. Never one to speak  up quickly, she began to pace along the edge of the clearing as she  looked for any helpful clues. (Perception Check 22 - +2 to next primary  Skill check)     Orsik whispers to the group trying not to be heard by the beast. "It  was thrown back by the comment about the dragons, maybe now it's time to  try a stick." (Insight Check 32 - +2 to next primary Skill check)     Muzdum tries to get around the creature's logic. "Oi I think ye  right." the dwarf whispers back. (Insight 21 - +2 to next primary Skill  check)  [gm][MENTION=51271]Voda Vosa[/MENTION] and [MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION]: Both Muzdum and Orsik’s warrior  instincts begin to take effect. They are starting to realize that no  matter what they say to Verhig, he won’t be satisfied.[/gm]  Verhig takes another puff from the hookah and then shifts and slithers  his body as he deftly descends the giant mushroom, gracefully for even  one so large. He positions himself before the party, addressing Braddock  first, then the others. ”Dragons of your world  hold no interest for me. Otherwise, I hear no worthwhile answers  forthcoming. Has my mere presence rendered you speechless? How so unlike  brave adventurers. Is this a current trend for on the material plane?”   [sblock=Skill Challenge] *GOAL: You are trying to convince Verhig as to why he shouldn’t eat you.     *Complexity: 3 (8 successes before 3 failures)  Status: Successes: 1  Failures: 0     *DC: All DCs are listed below. All DCs for skills not listed are considered hard (DC 25).     *Skills: You can use a skill not listed below, only if you can explain  it reasonably. Any explanation I feel doesn’t correspond with the given  skill, I will impose a -2 penalty to it.     * Rules: The same rules apply for skill challenges as apply for encounters (48-hour rule, etc).     *Repeating the Same Skills: Any character repeating the same skill  check in two successive rounds will impose a -2 cumulative penalty to  the triggering roll (i.e. -2 for second check, -4 for third check, etc.)     *Critical Success: A natural 20 counts as 2 successes OR 1 success and remove 1 failure.     *Critical Failure: A Natural 1 automatically counts as 1 Failure, regardless of any modifiers.     *Aid Another: You can roll to aid another PC. Using the compendium  rules, a roll of 10+1/2 the rolling PC’s level or higher grants a +2 to  that player’s skill check, while a failure grants a -1 penalty to that  player’s skill check. A successful aid another roll does not count  towards the total number of successes.  [sblock=*Primary Skills][sblock=Bluff (DC 25)]You try to use beguiling  words in order to convince the Behir to spare you and your allies. A  success counts towards the Skill Challenge.[/sblock]  [sblock=Diplomacy (DC 19)]Choosing courtly manners and kind words, you  try to convince the creature of your loyalty and integrity. A success  counts towards the Skill Challenge.[/sblock]  [sblock=History (DC 19)]You search your memory of any texts you’ve  read in order to help your current situation. A success counts towards  the Skill Challenge.[/sblock]  [sblock=Intimidate (DC 25)]You quietly proclaim swift vengeance  against any who threaten you or your allies. A success counts towards  the Skill Challenge. Failure imposes a -5 penalty to the next skill roll  the failing PC makes.  *NOTE: This skill can only be used once during this skill challenge by ANY PC.[/sblock][/sblock]  [sblock=*Secondary Skills][sblock=Arcana (DC 25)]You weave magic into  your words, enhancing them, hoping to gain advantage over Verhig.

A success does not count towards the Skill Challenge. Instead  you gain a +2 bonus to the next primary skill check.[/sblock]  [sblock=Nature (DC 25)]You are attuned to nature, but this creature is  unlike anything in your experience. You draw upon your knowledge of the  world and the creatures that reside on it in order to try to gain some  advantage you can use to convince Verhig not to devour you.[/sblock]  [sblock=Perception (DC 19)]Wary of an attack, you look for any clues  as to the actions of Verhig.
