D&D 5E (IC) Fitz's Folly

[Kobold Stew]

"I would be happy to go," suggested Miss Imogen. "Though I would need at least someone to help with the language issue." She's embarrassed if she seems too keen, putting herself forward like this. She adds, "At the same time, if there is still mistrust, I could keep watch effectively at a distance." She nods to her bow.

"I can provide overwatch as well - I'm nowhere near the archer miss Imogen is, but I can use a crossbow, and I know how to move quietly"

Making some local allies - or at the very least, making clear to them we are not foes or invaders, could be beneficial. Well done Harb - and thank you Qawasha. And... probably they won't know anything about the soulmonger but... maybe they will

Dellrak scratched at the flaking mud on his skin and shivered a bit with fever. When Harb snuck off, he picked up his new dwarven crossbow to provide cover.

When Harb returned with the report of the cursed humans, Delrak snorted. “Typical Humans,” the Emerald Enclave agent said. “But if they’ve learned the error o’ their ways, an’ ain’t hostile, talkin’ with ‘em cannae ‘urt. I can ‘elp provide cover, too.” He hefted his crossbow. “At the least, mebbe they know more aboot the area.”

The Sticks and their allies cautiously worked their way through the beginning of the swamp to parlay with the Aldani. The isolated lobster-folk saw them coming, and some shuffled off into deeper water while a few others silently held their ground; neither threatening nor passive in their stance.

OOC: I'd like a few rolls: Your choice of: Insight (to see if you can figure out their attitude); Diplomacy (if you want to address them, or at least indicate that you want to speak); Intimidate (if you want to indicate to them that they should respect you and not attack); Deception (if you want to trick them or hide an intent); or anything else you can think of to contribute. I'd like everyone to give me something, and a quick description of your intent. Even if you roll low, don't assume that you did something stupid, more that things are harder than they seem.

Harb handed his bow and arrows off to somebody else to carry. Then he lifted the hood of his cloak over his face and proceeded at a bit of a hobble, leaning on his staff and doing his best to seem frail and unthreatening.

OOC: Not sure if Harb has the best Persuasion or not. Only a +2 bonus. Deception to hide his potential for violence: [roll0]

 

[Ancalagon]

Rodrigo had no intention to deceive... and he was not the best of diplomat. He tried to appear friendly and nonthreatening, while trying to determine their intentions.

Insight check at the lobster people: 1D20+4 = [1]+4 = 5


Their faces were... utterly alien.

OOC: the only choice Rodrigo's decent at and this... ah well

Dellrak kept his crossbow ready to cover those going to speak to the Aldani. His keen eyes studied them, wanting to know if they were going to attack so as to put a bolt through their eye before they could harm one of the party.

His hands still shook as he held the crossbow and he cursed the fever that made this blasted jungle even hotter.

[Kobold Stew]

Miss Imogen sees the creatures approach, and senses from Dellrak what they intend. She shoulders her bow, anf holds out her hands.

"We do not mean to intrude in your part of the jungle," she begins.

OOC: Persuasion (= Diplomacy?) [roll0]. EDIT: CRIT! she does an additional 1d6 damage..., right?

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: Whoops! Miss Imogen is still sick. Maybe someone can "help" (to cancel disadvantage?). Otherwise, this is the number that she gets on her Persuasion check. [roll0].

 

[Fradak]

Chrysagon joined Miss Imogen in front of the group and caught her before she collapsed. The fever got worse. "We need help". He said, hoping those creature knew the feeling of compassion.

OOC: Help Action. If you need a separate roll: Persuasion: 1D20+3 = [13]+3 = 16
