Grotzkoshter

Grotzkoshter swap places with Jem and walks besides Durak, he smirks to himself while thinking about his new potion among the others, magic items always raised a smile on his face.
This is my first time in Sharn you know.
he tells to his new dwarven friend, I arrived one week ago.
he raises his voice.
I didn't realize to be in under Sharn so quickly.
he says to the others. Goblins everywhere ... we should keep an eye.
He thinks about his new potion again , but now without a smile.
When a see the bugbear he put his hand on one of his wands while the other hand touches a piece of leather in his pocket for his magical armor spell.
I don't like this place, Goblinoids free everywhere here.. better be cautious
He thinks to himself.

Giving way to the gnome, Jem is quite happy to be relegated to a spot behind such a strong looking warrior as Kamvul and where she can easily listen to the conversations in front and behind her.

"I worked with Gem a few times, she's quite good."

Her eyes narrow slightly at the two men in front of her. Now what exactly does he mean by THAT? , she wonders silently. Shrugging, she gazes about the path they have been following.

As Tym approaches, she focuses on that exchange, carefully taking in his words and the bugbear's reactions. [sense motive]

 

[LiquidAtom]

Kamvul being as diplomatic and suave as he possibly can says to the bugbear. "Yes, general, we are on the business of House Silvas, most important business." Then as he puts a hand on Grotz's shouler says, "Why else would we be accompanied by a Marked member of that house?"

 

[Animus]

"House Sivis business, eh?" the bugbear growls. The bugbear eyes Tym, examining him from head to toe. "What does House Sivis want down here? There are nothing but ruins, lava pits, and tombs. Not the kind of business House Sivis would be interested in.".

Jem: Sense Motive: 9 (roll) + 7 (skill) = 16.
The bugbear speaks confidently, but there is a slight edge to his words.

Tym Human Bard

Tym shrugs applogetically, "Well you know the Dragonmarked. Why do they do anything they do? I just go where I'm told and collect my pay. For what they pay if they want me to visit ruins, lava pits and tombs, who am I to argue?"

Grotzkoshter

Our business is not of your concern! Says Grotzkoshter in anger from behind Tym, Jem and Kamvul to the bugbear.
As a representive of house Sivis, I'm telling you to let us pass,
We are here to investigate some scripts, and any delay will cause trouble.

He softens his voice and you see 1 gold and 3 silver coins fly through the air from Grotzkoshter to the Bugbear.
(hand of the mage)
this is for letting us pass and for you to forget us.

OOC : The bugbear caught our DM ?

 

[Nephis]

at the gnome's words, jem's eyes narrow a little irritably. thinking quietly to herself, does he know nothing about tact?, she decides to take things into her own hands.

looking and smiling directly into the bugbear's eyes, jem saunters up to him and purrs, "what our friend gnome means is surely you don't expect the dragon-marked to sully their OWN hands." she gives a twinkling laugh, then murmurs quietly to the bugbear (almost as an aside), "you know how they are, especially gnomes."

{ooc: whichever is appropriate: bluff +11 or diplomacy +9}

 

[Animus]

Jem: Diplomacy: 11 (roll) + 9 (skill) = 20.

The bugbear says, "I hear what you say. Very well, you may pass." He tells one of the goblins to open the gate, then moves out of your way. " I meant no disrespect. Just trying to do my job, see?" The bugbear says apologetically. He wishes you luck and waves you on.

Tym Human Bard

Tym nods politely to the Bugbear and agrees with his comment, "as are we my friend. Keep up the good work."

Once they are past Tym gives Jem a nod and a wink to say 'nicely done.' He then resumes his conversation with Kamvul the encounter with the bugbear forgotten. "That smoke was quite nice, I'll have to get to know Elros better." He walks on with a spring in his step as if having a stroll in the park rather than delving into the depths of Undersharn.
