[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[nakia]

So, to the caves! Haskins and Rawley will do the talking, I assume, telling whatever guards there are that we need to see Dr. Parenthis. Yes?

I need to see what you're saying, and I need to see some rolls. Don't add any modifiers; I will decide whether you are using Diplomacy or Bluff (though you are free to suggest what you are attempting).

Add action points if you want them.

I'll also do my best to fold what each person says into a coherent whole, if necessary, but generally speaking I am going to assume that the person with the best result has the "lead" on the story.

EDIT: Your first encounter is with hired guns who confront you on the way out of camp.

Aren't you concerned this is uncharacteristically heroically pulpy for you lot? I was really hoping for more waiting around.

I think Wulf is just anxious to kil..., I mean"challenge" us.

Haskins leads to group along the trail towards the cave, when confronted with the guards, he will excitedly say "Hey mate, we need to see Dr. Parthensis and Mr. Malouz! Our own expert here', pointing to Brigetta, "has decifered some of that gibberish they use around here and those two will be really exicted to hear the news. But we gotta move fast bloke. There's a warning on it as well, and we don't want the bosses getting blown up now do we" he adds with a wink and a grin. "You leads us on there so we don't get lost. But if we don't tell them about this right quick bloke, them bosses will be mighty peeved at the boys who held us up."

Is this the "take a stolen crate of crap and pretend the Doctor wanted it" con, or the "we just want to leave camp and you can't stop us" con? Or another one that I missed entirely?

Its the Brigitta knows something! Hurry! Hurry! one.

Bill is attempting to be inconspicuous as the others talk with the guards watching for trouble.

OOC: Here is the Spot check!!! Did I say watching for trouble? He's got something in his eye that's bugging him.

T. Rawley presents his notebook to support Haskins' claims. Carefully drawn on the page are several dubious glyphs with various messages translated out beside them.

"Very bad things are headed this way if we can't talk to the doctor!" he says, excitedly.

Phrases like:
- The disease will ravage those around the temple.
- The anger of the gods will surge fire through the surrounding jungle.
- All gold will turn to dust.

Not sure if I need an action point.

Definitely a Bluff. And, since you've been in camp with these guys a while, I'll count your Empathy. With his AP, Haskins hits DC10 to Aid Another. This gives Rawley a current total of (18+5+3+2) = 28.

Not sure if I need an action point.

It's an opposed check, modified by the circumstances of his employment duties and the credulity of your bluff. I would say his bonus is somewhere between +5 and +10. But in the interests of keeping things moving, I'll just say no.

Sense Motive (1d20=5)

The guards looked skeptical at first, but one look at Rawley's notebook and the tide seemed to turn.

One of the guards grabbed Rawley and hustled him forward. "Come with me then, come on!"




I will post again shortly (new post).
