I would agree with a couple of statements already posted, 1: We had only had like 1 round of 'talking' with the Elder Prophet when the group of toughs showed up and the old man freaked out, but the toughs definitely gave me the impression that they would attack the old man if we did leave, which isn't something Chevik would just allow to happen...2: we had only barely been told any info by the old man, Chevik for one wasn't done discussing the situation yet and didn't want to get bullied out of his information gathering. 3: Rho, et al definitely put off a bad vibe, but I do feel like all it took was 1 party member to say the wrong thing and suddenly we were in initiative order fighting... which makes sense if they are War bloodlines, they would have a short fuseChevik never readied or cast any spells, he used the Ex ability from lore master which happens to duplicate a spell Analyze Dweomer. With Ex abilities though there is no sign that you are using them, no spell to be recognized etc. I just wanted to be ready and know what these fairly aggressive group had on them if it did come to a fight...I probably should have tried being more diplomatic (i.e. rolling a diplomacy check) but it escalated really fast...</blockquote>
