Ring of the Fey Lord (DM:Atanatotatos, Judge:Lord Sessadore)Up:Lorik, etc.

Ironheart studies the specter carefully, watching for any threat.

[sblock=OOC]
Seriously, Ironheart is not doing anything. His point of view is that he's guarding these people, and what they do to get inside is up to them. He'll react if somebody speaks to him, but otherwise he's already said everything he has to say.

So I guess roll me a Perception or Intuition, whichever one makes more sense for detecting whether the guardian is about to attack. (IC is down, can't roll it myself.)

[sblock=Ironheart's Insight]17. Not bad. If you don't mind, I'd like to take this as Aid Another for the Insight attempt I plan to make on my turn.[/sblock]

Haruka looks surprised that the spirit is listening to them. She was clearly expecting more hostility. "Um, yeah. Arnamil's expecting us anyway. He probably meant to tell you to, you know, just let us right in. So... we'll be on our way now," she cheerfully snarls in the Dragonborn's low growls.[/QUOTE]

"That's true," Derien amplifies, starting to get into the spirit of things. "Arnamil's expecting to get his ring back. He'll want to see us as soon as possible, I'm sure."

“In fact, not only is your lord expecting us backstage...”

Rhole hooks up to the Great Ultra-Intense Thundering Audio Ripper and makes it wail with awe and passion while bending over backwards.

“He’s gearing up to hear us kick it off with one massive juicy jam all night! Power sauce to the people, baby!”

The bard jams into what can best be described as "power sauce".

Ikni wavers. "I thought Lord Arnamil wanted this ring. If he doesn't want it, I guess we should look for someone else who does?" But she cannot help the questioning tone in her voice at the end, and the effect is spoiled.

[sblock=cov]
Was that an aid another or a go at the challenge?

Ironheart studies the specter carefully, watching for any threat.

[sblock=ooc]
So 7 successes, 1 or 2 failures (depending on cov's response)

Next person to use Insight gets +2 from Ironheart. 1 more will result in a failure or success so choose carefully...

ooc: taran, you want to handle this?

 

[Dunamin]

OOC: Alternatively, Rhole would also like to risk it. He's got a +13 on Bluff that he can reroll (and use the better result), thanks to the Glib Limerick ritual.

 

[covaithe]

[sblock=ooc]I meant it to be an attempt at the skill challenge. Like I said, not optimal, but I think it's a fairly safe bet that our more socially adept party members will schmooze their way to the last success. And this seems a reasonably safe place to insert a little non-optimal roleplaying. [/sblock]

ooc: Oh, yeah, that's probably better.

[sblock=ooc]
You're like the avenger of bluffs , except a way harder rocker.

Nice. Take it away, Rhole.[/sblock]

 

[Dunamin]

Rhole abruptly seizes his jamming, leaving the wailing tones trailing off.

“Listen, Casper. We’re all tired, beat up, and eager to get this over with. My friends and I just want to get back to touring life on the edge, I’m sure you want to get back to welcoming guests with ominous greetings, and your lord really really really wants to get his ring back.”

“In fact, if you stop stalling we can all get exactly what we want, and you won’t have to explain to your lord why you kept us from helping him out – this close to his goal.” Rhole stands on his toes and measures out the distance of the specter's nose.

“Trust me on this one; you’ll be doing yourself a service. Help me help you.”

The faint whispering voice of Rock can be heard close to Rhole’s ear.

“Oh yeah, and I’ll throw in an autograph as well.”
