(Casual D&D) A Game of Trust

[Festy_Dog]

Nurthk growls in his sleep, and scowls at something in a dream.

"...giants..." he murmurs.

Fendric talks quietly. "Oh, okay... You two get Hiritus, and a few of the guardsmen, if you can do it quietly, and explain to them that we're going to investigate that business on the bank. I'll wake Nurthk, may Pelor protect me... Oh. Shavah? See if any of your compatriots have prayed for True Seeing..."

Fendric quietly moves over to where Nurthk is sleeping, and gently shakes him awake. "Easy, friend... Some business on the bank down there that looks interesting. Can you put your armor on quietly?"

 

[Uriel]

Niccolo nods and does as requested, though he could just kick himself for not buying a crossbow back in the City. Oh well, his sling would have to do for now...

 

[Festy_Dog]

Nurthk wakes up groggily, looking around until he fixes on Fendric's form. He nods in reply to Fendric's question and silently as possible goes about donning his chain shirt. Once armed he follows the priest out to assess the situation.

 

[Mithreander]

Getting closer to the barge, or boat, Furgus smiles at his success. These Nim must be pretty ingrosed in their task to not even try to hear me... and the dog, just lazy! He twirls a dagger apsently from his sheath and back again, a blush rising to his face. The shine of the blade could give me a way! My brother always said that my flashyness would get the better of me!. He takes a closer look at the larger of the bags and notes the iregularities in it's shape and size. Is it a body? and if so, is it alove?!

His attention to the other bags, smaller and heavy looking brings a smile to his face. I may not be able to get that big bag, but perhaps I can get in close to get a peak of what's in one of those smaller ones.

The stealthy little man moves forward, even closer, trying to time his snatch of a smaller bag when the workers backs are to him.

OOC: I'm not sure how you do rolls, but this time I rolled for him, incase you needed it: Hide: 25 Move Silently: 24 Slight of Hand: 21. If not then he had +15 to hide, +13 to Move Silently, and +11 to Slight of Hand

(OOC - Mith, players do their own rolls, so I'll take yours. The other PCs should roll spot checks at this point, although they can do that privately if they like, since they'll know success or failure, and are the only ones who'd need that info.)

Fendric/Nurthk/Niccolo: As you get closer, you can make out pretty much what Furgus has seen. During that period of time, they've piled up what they've brought, (five packages in total, including the big one) and are currently trying to pester the dog awake.

Furgus: You manage to snatch one of the smaller packages from atop the big one. Once you're back a bit to open it and peek, you see that it's a necklace bearing the Horn of Yondalla, with smaller beads depicting food and wealth "pouring out" across the chain.

Fendric assists Nurthk with his chain shirt, then walks with him and the rest of the group.

[Spot check: 8 +4 =12.]

Fendric, curious as ever, walks even more purposefully now toward the dock, specifically, toward the big box/bag. As he gets within 20' or so, trusting that his companions are covering him, he steps out and greets the people on the dock.

[Diplomacy check: 12 +4 = 16.]

"Pleasant morning to you. I'm Brother Fendric. As you might be aware, we're monitoring all river traffic for the presence of a knight of Heironeous, who was recently kidnapped and taken upriver? Might we ask 'what's in the bag?'"

By now it's clear which bag he means, as his shield hand is on the big one.

 

[Uriel]

<Spot total 14>

Just before Fendric steps out, Niccolo casts Invisibility upon himself[/I], staying out of sight even if her were visable (in case it wears off), ready with a Sleep or some other spell.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Spot check: 20

Nurthk yawns as he follows the others, and simply leans on his axe as he watches Fendric do the talking.
