She comes back to Barrington's table as she ties a shawl over her shoulders. "I'm hoping that storm is keeping off the bay, sounds a might bit fierce, it does. Are y' ready to walk m' home, James?" Her giddiness is hard to hide as she twists back and forth with her hands crossed in front of her holding a small purse.[OOC]I'm assuming Barrington does walk her out...If not, I can revise my post...[/OOC][/SBLOCK]* * *Tavern VerandaThe night air is warm indeed, though the blustery winds have an unseasonal chill to them. Polly the tavern wench turns back to smile at Barrington as the two leave the tavern together. A lone ancient sailor, the same one that had been there all night, seems fused to his rocking chair, muttering to himself, his cataract-filled eyes fixed out to sea. And Katarina del Corazon is at the far side of the veranda, hands against the rail, gazing at the stars.Both Katarina and Barrington would see common citizens of Nassau wisely hurrying indoors in case the storm hit, while pirates staggered around in the dim light, cussing and singing shanties, as an accordion filtered thru the air down by the docks. Distant musket fire from the west echoed in the night. And just a dozen paces from Blackreef's Tavern is what locals called the "Seahorse"; an old seahorse-shaped figurehead from a sunk ship which had been converted into a bulletin board thru some clever carpentry, and is plastered with a variety of notices.[OOC]A Wisdom (Survival) check can gauge whether the storm will stay off the bay or move inland and hit Nassau.The bulletin board can be examined for news/rumors/quests/humor.[/OOC]* * *Insult Arm Wrestling MatchGvido betrays his intent by a slight twitch of his shoulder muscles and a devious gleam in his eye. Doctor Varlok is right to be suspicious, and readily adapts to the attempted feint, beginning to push back against Gvido to the surprise of the the gathered Latvians who begin shouting in their native language. Upon hearing Hugo's inflammatory side comment, Gvido bares his teeth and his face flushes bright red. Either it will serve as an excellent distraction...or incense the angry Gvido further...it's hard to say.[OOC]@fireinthedust Investigation works! LOL <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Latveria and Doctor Doom, eh? Could make an interesting twist on "The Man in the Iron Mask." Your typo may lead to something interesting...I'll think on it!So, you have a window now to try and turn the tables on Gvido. Basically, throw out an insult & pick what sort of opposed check you want to make! [/OOC][OOC]1st round - Tie! (Gvido 13 vs. Varlok 12+1 for great description)2nd round - Varlok wins! (Gvido 13 vs. Varlok 23)3rd round...[/OOC]</blockquote>
