If you don't have the rules, there's a brief rundown of dispositions in the first post in the character sheet thread.Ser Jarl's Intimidate test beats Agorn's intrigue defense by 5, yielding 2 successes and dealing 8 influence damage (reduced by 4 for Agorn's disposition). Agorn has 8 composure remaining.In return, Agorn attempts to bully Ser Jarl, rolling 13, which beats Ser Jarl's defense by 3 for 1 success and dealing 4 influence damage (which is reduced to 0 due to Ser Jarl's indifferent disposition). Ser Jarl's composure is not reduced.On to the next exchange!Note 1. Agorn has 2 injuries from his battle with Ser Rolston, giving him -2 to all his tests.Note 2. Everyone else can join into the intrigue too if they want. Just because the first attempt was an Intimidate, it doesn't mean that the rest must be so (although they certainly may be if you choose).[/sblock]Ollin hears noise all about him, but his blurred vision makes it difficult to tell exactly what's happening. Someone is helping! Thank the Seven!Few of the words are directed at him, but he makes out part of one sentence. "...to the inn, boy. Ser..." he sees a large man standing protectively over him, and nods. He rolls to his knees, nervous for exposing his back to the sellsword, but thankful for the guard's protection. He stumbles to his feet and staggers back, noting all the help that has poured out of the inn.One knight in particular is demanding the sellsword stand down. Ser Jarl, thinks Ollin. I met him at the crossroads.The squire turns, off-balanced but standing, and sees Agorn consider the knight's words for a moment, but then the ugly man spits and sneers."This is none of your concern. The boy and his knight interfered in my affairs, and I'll have his hand for that. Possibly a head." He glares intently at Ser Jarl. "I've already killed one knight today. Another will not bother me."</blockquote>
