[LPF] Toad in the Hole

[sblock=OOC]If I had to wager a guess I would say Acrobatics would be a good bet on what you would roll to get out of the cart safely and likewise what you would roll to jump back into it assuming no one calls for the cart to be stopped... that being said...[/sblock]

As soon as Fae'shiel see's maui begin leaping out of the moving cart she yells "STOP THE CART!!!!" which will likely result in him being knocked off balance but at the same time will remove the hazard of his having to worry about hurting himself when he does manage to get out of the cart and will prevent him having to struggle with getting back into the cart successfully.

"What the blazes!?" Alvise shouts as the druid jumps out of the moving wagon. The action spooks the horses and he has to pull hard on the reins to keep them from colliding with oncoming traffic. Maui easily scoops up the toad and returns to the wagon, although Alvise glares at him as he climbs in.

"What'd you do that for, you daft git?" He sees the toad in Maui's hands and shakes his head. With a touch of the reins he sets the wagon moving again. "There's no good eatin' in one of those, feller, and they give you cramps and nightmares like you wouldn't believe if even you try."

A short while later, the wagon passes through the southern gates and out onto the open road.

[sblock=GM]The wagon was essentially going walking pace, so it's not too hard to dismount. The toad was easy enough to grab -- it seems kind of exhausted now that Maui has got it. Probably not surprising given that it traveled at least a mile in the past hour or two.

And you probably want to roll a Wild Empathy check, Mr. Druid.[/sblock]

..... Alvise Biaggio .....
 

Maui holds the toad gently in his hands trying to calm its wildly beating heart.

"Don't worry Toad. Maui will not lick you and I won't let anyone put you back in te cage. When we find you a good place for you then you are free to go."

He closes his eyes and prays "Tane, Forest Father, calm your child's heart, take away te fear. Let him understand he is nearly home."

The toad continues to squirm in his hands. Maui opens his eyes and frowns. "Poor Toad! Your soul is full of terror."
[sblock=Wild Empathy] Maui is not such an empathetic Druid yet. But let's give it a whirl! His Handle Animal is better but I'm guessing that skill is useless on a toad, right? Can I use Guidance (hence the prayer) to improve that roll? Or is that not specifically a skill so it doesn't work? Anyway, I'll roll it without +1 bonus from guidance, just add if it applies.

The toad squirms a bit, but in the end is simply too exhausted to go anywhere and eventually falls asleep in Maui's pocket.

GM: Yes, you can use Guidance. The roll wasn't good enough to improve its reaction at the moment, but you can try again later.

The wagon ride will be an uneventful five or six hours. I'll hold off on advancing the scene for a day or so in case there is RP you want to take care of on the way.

As the toad finally quietens and settles in Maui's pocket the druid turns towards Alvise.

"I hear they call you Frog Hunter back in te city. Where do you hunt te frogs? Are we going to pass near that place on our way to visit te Puffwampi?"

Fae'shiel turns towards Marcus and looks at him with a bit of a coy expression on her face, while at the same time she speaks to him

[sblock=To Marcus in Elven]"I take it you were surprised by my actions earlier? May I ask why?"[/sblock]

She hears Maui talking to the Toad and then to Alvise but chooses to ignore him for the moment, her interest instead taken up by Marcus.

Marcus settles back into his seat, watching the druid snatch up the exhausted amphibian. He smiles a little at the caring action of the druid, marking this down in his favor. As he relaxes, Fae'shiel's comments to him in Elven cause him to turn to her. He considers her words and responds.

[sblock=to Fae'shiel in Elven]Which actions do your refer to?

His tone is slightly cautious, as if he is just wanting to make sure his answer is to the right actions.[/sblock]
 

Fae'shiel cocks her head slightly and smiles. She thinks to herself 'oh so everything I did must have surprised him. Interesting.' she then says to him:

[sblock=To Marcus in Elven]"To which do you think I am refering?"[/sblock]
 

Vincenzo can hold it no longer. His knowledge of languages his family learns for the purpose of diplomacy and trade includes that of the conversation being spoken now.

[sblock=elvin]"be careful of whose ears are listening"[/sblock]
 

in a language that sounds foreign to all of you Fae'shiel says "in amore ... Age tuum negotium si vos vere"

[sblock=OOC]I just used Google Translate to translate "For the love of... You really should mind your own business" into Latin which is the language I am using to represent the in game language of Celestial.[/sblock]
