"Ahh, there are many answers to that question, many answers indeed..." he says, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.  After a brief pause, he lays his hands out on the table, palms up, in a gesture of resignation, and continues.  "As I mentioned, I have struggled to divine the identity of those responsible for the theft of my magical tools.  This correspondence is not an accident: my ability to divine is in part dependent on the tools which I make use of.  If I am to have any hope of ascertaining the location of these items, I will need some help." He looks slowly around the room.  "This is why I queried Fate to identify and locate individuals capable of assisting me in my task.  It was this inquiry which led me to this tavern, to you four.  If you do indeed possess the knowledge and skills that I believe you do, I will be able to harness and amplify those abilities to help me discern the location of my divinatory tools.  Furthermore, I believe that your eclectic abilities will be necessary in obtaining my belongings."  With this last statement, the gnome's gaze lingers especially on Saranna Surefoot.  "Of course, you shall be handsomely rewarded for your assistance.""But first...I must be shown that you truly do possess the abilities that I seek.  So, my friends....give me a glimpse of your wondrous capabilities."  With this last statement, the gnome leans back in his chair and eyes the group expectantly.[ooc]Right...Skill Challenge No.1.You are to demonstrate your abilities to the gnome, either as individuals or as a group.  The ways in which this can be done are pretty open ended, so I'll just list some ideas here; if you want to try something else out, feel free.  Creativity and especially good RPing will net your bonuses to your rolls.- You could try to impress the gnome with your knowledge by rolling one of those skills.  These checks should be performed individually (i.e. no Aid Another).- You could simply tell the gnome your story, which would merit a diplomacy, bluff, or even intimidation check, depending on your approach.  These sorts of checks could be supplemented by Sense Motive or Perception rolls, which would provide cumulative Aid Another bonuses if successful.  You could execute these sorts of actions as a group.- You could also execute a physical action if desired; let me know if you want to take this route, and we'll suss it out.On the whole, we're looking at 4 to 6 proper checks, plus additional ones if attempting to aid another (which I'd encourage, as every bit helps).  Make sense?[/ooc]</blockquote>
