[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8510426, member: 2012"] "Yes, we are all grateful for your skills in capturing that thing," Nathanyell says as he glances out the door. "Even if some stubbornly want perfection, it seems." "I hope so," he replies. "I heard that Lady Pomander is recovering in her home and that Lord Wellington was taken to the temple district to recover from the wounds inflicted on him by the Loyalists." He pauses. "It still hard to believe that those bastards continue to run loose in the city." Lady Gale tips her head disapprovingly. She pouts her lips and glares at Tim. She saunters away towards the back of the Silver Raven and plops herself down at a table filled with young nobles. They let her sit but don't let her drink. "That woman needs help," Nathanyell says. "I'd do more for her, but she's stubborn as a mule... especially sober." [B]OOC:[/B] Diplomacy usually takes a full minute, so I'd say adding the +4 to Charisma is fine. I didn't look up the reputation modifier, but it is probably +2 (so, a total of 33). That is good enough to make the crowd outside the tavern to become friendly towards the PCs and indifferent towards Custodio. The patrons in the tavern become helpful towards the PCs and friendly towards Custodio. Many in the crowd are shocked to silence by the Loremaster's harsh words. The elderly nobleman glares at Akos. The man looks exhausted and sad. The crowd is transfixed by the Loremaster's words. The first that Akos offers the silver dagger to is the old nobleman. He looks at Akos in surprise and his hand shakes as he raises it to reach out towards the Loremaster. He comes close to taking the blade and many in the crowd step back.
