[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 2894237, member: 11146"] [color=red]Bluff +1. Jinx will attempt to affect grandiosity.[/color] Jinx eyes the priest with no small amount of caution. The gnome's hands spread wide in a gesture of exaggerated learnedness. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"In the Free City, there exist buildings of all ages, some built to withstand the trials of war and the ravages of time. The examples that still stand bear the marks of grace and perseverance; one has only to walk their length and breadth and to touch their course to understand the ways that things are built." [/COLOR] Jinx pauses then adds at the last, [COLOR=SandyBrown]"But me sire and mam owned a brewery in the westerlands, and an old one at that. I liked to watch the cogs in the gears turn as they ground the harvest to a pulpy mash. Some of the old brewery's foundation brickwork could be seen down in the cellar near the mill. The way the walls on the moathouse were crumbled to inward ruin in places spoke to me that someone or something had used a trebuchet to launch boulders at the place from a distance. That, and with the moat to protect it, firing from a distance would be nearly the only way to bring a building like that down. Since there wasn't overmuch vegetation growing inside the moathouse, whatever besiegement it suffered couldn't have happened all that long ago."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
