In truth, he already ate about a dozen of the tasty critters and is full. Thinking quickly of ways his mother would distract his youngest sister when she was suffering from stomach ailments ... which sadly poor little Myrtle often was, may her soul rest forever in Yondalla's hands. Their mother would tell silly stories, with Nemo pantomiming the actions of various moments with ludicrous results. His little sister would be distracted enough to eat some of the porridge or at least forget for a while the pain in her belly.The halfling walks over to Jendi and nudges him with a booted toe. "Remember the journey last summer? When my uncle Milo annoyed the captain and almost got us thrown overboard? That story we told together?" Jendi glances up with a frown, but a wry grin sneaks onto his face at the ridiculousness of that journey. He looks inquiringly up at Nemo. The halfling gestures with his chin toward Mylistra, turned away from the fire, shoulders hunched. At first the warlock shakes his head at Nemo. Then, with a shrug, he stands up."Did we ever tell you the story of the Drunken Blacksmith of Blackstone and the smoking flail?" Jendi asks the other two. "Well, let us recount the tale for you..." With Nemo portraying the drunken antics of the soused blacksmith in all of his tumbling, befuddled hilarity and Jendi's rendition of this historical tale with all its humorous overtones and sly nudges, even Mylistra eventually begins to forget her discomfort and munch on some of the apples and nuts. No, she will NOT break her vow to never let another insect pass her lips while she still lives.[HR][/HR]Nemo makes a Secondary Skill Acrobatics check to assist Jendi's storytelling: +13 vs. 9 Easy DC = Autosuccess, for a +2 SS bonus toJendi's Primary Skill History check to tell a true if hilarious historical tale: r20 +9 +2 SS =31 vs. 13 Moderate DC.
