Defenders of the Blackfeather - Tariff of Relkingham

Meanwhile, Lindus attempts to sneak into the inn...

Stealth (1d20+11=16)

Lindus successfully sneaks inside the inn. He sees a typical well worn inn. Except for the reek of dead flesh, is inn is a strange bastion of calm. It has two large tables for meals and a number of barstools at the long bar. A short flight of stairs leads up to the rooms. He can see the rope bridge that leads to the jail at the top of the stairs. As far as Lindus can tell, the inn is deserted.

To cross the rope bridge to the jail on his next turn, he must pass a DC 10 athletics or DC10 acrobatics, or risk falling 1d10+3.

"The rest of you be quiet, and let this man here speak!" Hal says, indicating the old man who warned against staying in the town after nightfall.

Intimidate (1d20+7=22)

Hal's orders are obeyed by the villagers, and the old man hesitantly adds "Terrible things happen once the sun goes down. We have been cursed. You must help us." (intimidate success)

"Please, sir, tell us more, so that we can help," Sena says.

Diplomacy (1d20+8=26)

 

[esparkhu]

The old man says simply "We're cursed" and looks to the priest. The priest asks "Give us a sign that you on on the side of light and good." (success diplomacy)

Lindus attempts to cross the rope...

Acrobatics (1d20+11=12)

OOC: I don't see anything about a Natural 1 automatically failing a skill use. In contrast, a Natural 1 is spelled out as an automatic miss in the combat chapter....

 

[esparkhu]

Lindus successfully crosses the rope bridge from the inn which comes to an end at the jail’s only window. He sees a small, single story village jail. Three barred cells sit unused and open.

The priest asks "Give us a sign that you on on the side of light and good."

"Well, if we had wanted to kill you," Hal says simply, "you'd already be dead."

Intimidate (1d20+7=23)

 

[esparkhu]

The priest nods in agreement "Good point."
Another villager adds "They don't look like those people that hurt us. Maybe we can trust them." (intimidate success)
