[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1758765, member: 158"] I'll give you a made up example of Aleph, a smart and diplomatic but unwise elf; Bet, a handsome human fighter of unexceptional intelligence and wisdom; and Thud, the Dwarven Monk. Aleph: What a beautiful lady! And all she wants is for us to help her recover her valuables from those thugs, and we get a reward! Thud: She's lying. Bet: True. She was very purtty. I think we should help her. Thud: She's lying. Aleph: I know just the plan. I can set myself up as couriers to get them to open the door, and then once inside I can sneak and pick the back door lock. Aleph: And just think how much the reward- Thud: SHE'S LYING. I SMELL SETUP. Aleph: Eh? Thud: First of all, she gave us no proof she owned the junk. Second, she had a twinkle in her eye the entire time she was talking to you - she was working you like a music box. And third, Why does a lady with "all that money" need to hire us? She don't have no bodyguards?! Aleph and Bet: Hmmmm. And Fourth, if those guys are ex-Cyran troops from the last war, they MIGHT be tougher than she lets on. And finally, WHEN are you gonna get free outta sight of TWELVE guys to pick a lock? *derisively* Sheesh. Genius. Aleph: And what do you suggest? Thud: I dunno - you're the talker. You go talk to the girl again, or something. Ask her why she's lying. ----------------------- [/QUOTE]
