Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 6464047" data-attributes="member: 20323">The Insult Arm Wrestling MatchGvido has a film of perspiration forming across his almost uni-brow. His black and white striped shirt bulges at the biceps as he realizes Hugo's legerdemain, and the balance begins to tip in Hugo's favor. A worried look crosses his face, which is slowly growing crimson, and his arm trembles. Could it be Hugo has caught him in a downward spiral? "At least I came out the right end of the donkey..."Suddenly, he gives Hugo just enough slack to hang himself with, then launches into a fierce counterattack, the expression on his face changing to a wicked grin. Gvido was bluffing! "My sons will be remembered for their bulging biceps! Yours for their sponging precepts!" Gvido plays on 'sponging' as in 'wiping', and as in 'freeloading off others'; is this an underhanded jab at the Dutch? Clearly there's more to this Gvido Berzins than a pair of arms!One of the onlooking pirates, a scrawny unshaven fellow, nudges Katarina and Nia Steeleyes. "Ooo! That was a rhyming double entendre that were! Gvido is so cleverrrr--" Upon realizing who he's speaking to - Blackheart's daughter and the Sea Witch - he makes an apologetic laugh which descends into a whimper as he innocently cranes his head back to watch the match as if he had said nothing.[OOC]Gvido - Dexterity (Deception) check <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4736030/" target="_blank">1d20+3=17</a>Make a Wisdom (Insight) check (or a similar check) to catch Gvido's deceit in time. A high roll (20+) will also anticipate his next strategy.Also, right after that check, you may come up with your own strategy. Based on that strategy, make a check of your choice, and give me a suggestion about what sort of opposed check Gvido should react with. So, the next round you get to "play DM" as it were. Does that make sense? Oh, and if your insult can rhyme with 'bulging biceps' or is particularly apropos you'll gain advantage on your check (either I'll trust you to be the judge of that, or you can give your insult and wait for my OOC reply before rolling.And don't forget you have Inspiration from playing to your ideal in the captain argument earlier![/OOC][OOC]Sure Sleight of Hand works! It was meant to be a grapple check, but Sleight of Hand seems apropos.Hugo's bicep-preserving strategy will give him +2 Constitution check in the fifth round if it comes to that. Insult Arm Wrestling: Progress Tracker1st Round - Hugo wins! 21 Sleight of Hand vs. 8 Athletics2nd Round...[/OOC]</blockquote>
