Barbarian, you are holding the group's gold. Are you willing to pay him?Barbarian: Gormak grunts and stands tall, staring down at the tavernkeeper.DM: Oo, that sounds like an Intimidation check...Barbarian: 15DM: The tavernkeeper gulps. "Um, it looks like you've had a long journey. I can give you a little info for free. I've heard the Fox Eye Gang has a hideout in the Hagwood."Ranger, you've traveled the region. You know the Hagwood is a dangerous forest full of goblins, spiders, and witches. How do you respond to hearing about this?Ranger: "How do the bandits survive in such a dangerous area?"DM: The tavernkeeper shakes his head. "I heard they made a deal with a Nighthag... But if I tell you any more they'll burn down my bar."Bard, he looks honestly scared. This is your chance to play into that, or calm him.Bard: Oh, I bet I can inspire him! "You can't run a rowdy tavern like this and be a coward! Pull yourself together, strike one against the bandits, and tell us what you know about this Nighthag!"DM: Make a Persuasion check.Bard: 18!DM: The tavernkeeper nods. "You're right, I can't let these creeps scare me into silence... Sit down, have a drink, and I'll tell you all about it..."...It takes some practice, but I've found it's really engaged the whole group rather than just leaving it up to someone with high Charisma.</blockquote>
