[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5527889, member: 11437"] [ooc]The skill challenge, [b]"The Feast at Dame Gold's"[/b], continues with 2 Successes and 0 Failures.[/ooc] By the time the sun went down on Safeton, the five heroes of Hommlet has gathered what clothing and fineries they felt they needed to attend Dame Gold's event that started on the next morning. All that was left to do now was for Billy, the gnome and resident culture expert, to coach the rest of the heroes on proper etiquette at such an event. Billy knew that he has his work cut out for him. Zindra, the elf, would be no problem, other than possibly being a little aloof at times. Billy knew he could trust Zindra not to make any horrific social faux pas. Jordi was likely going to act the gentleman, though his rustic upbringing did not do much to reassure Billy. But Keldok and Grimgal, the half-orc and dwarf, respectively, they would be Billy's challenge. He wasn't sure he had enough time to make them properly sociable. The heroes gathered again at the Rough N' Ready. This time, Billy had purchased a loft suite, a room large enough for the heroes to spread out a bit and get comfortable. Jordi sat next to Zindra on one side of the room, while Keldok and Grimgal were each in their own corners. Billy stood in the middle of the room, pacing. [color=lightblue]"The most important thing to remember at these sorts of gatherings is that everything you say AND do tells a lot about you.
