[ Could I get a persuasion roll?]

OOC: Skill: 1D20+3 = [19]+3 = 22

Before he and his allies left the strange flying ship, Aremus gave a rousing speech, about how they would surely succeed in their mission, and how he was proud to call them friends.

OOC: He'll use his Inspiring Leader Feat to give everyone 10 temporary HP and some feels!

Aremus has no problem persuading the guards to trust them and a rope is tied from the air vessel to the casino boat. Many gawkers also applaud the unexpected dwarf cannon balling into the river water below.

 

[Kobold Stew]

The first to disembark is Tranio, who accepts the guard at his word.

He's smiling and keen to watch the gambling, but nobody ever wants a death cleric standing over their shoulder, and so people keep clear, as he helps the others aboard the Casino.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus quickly began to forget his mission as he experienced all the sights and sounds of the casino once more.

OOC: So have I. Aside from the Giant Princess showing us a casino chip, I can't remember what we're looking for. Anyone? Edit after looking back: Ah yes, we are looking for clues in the death of the Giant Queen. Chip was found on her body. Not much to go on.

Afternoon
Round 0

Dren made his way over to the casino boat. He wasn’t a gambler, and the last time around he hadn’t done much, but now he needed to keep his eyes open for something. Somehow that casino chip got on the dead giant queen’s body.

Perhaps we should talk to Lord Drylund." suggested Aremus to Dren when he caught the dwarf looking as directionless as he himself felt.

 

[seriousmoonlight]

The inside of the river boat is just as boozy and smoke filled as you all remembered it being. Lord Drylund, isn't hard to find. For one, the man loves being the center of attention, more of a wandering mascot than an actual authority figure on the ship. The pet octopus on his shoulder and jewel covered rapier are easy to spot as well.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus whispered to Tranio, who was nearby, and asked, "Should we try the honest approach? I always prefer it. We could just come out and ask him."

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tranio grunts, and with his empty hands runs them beside his head, pulling his hair back over his ears. There are tangles form his time in the crow's nest, and he does not look as smooth as he hopes he does.

"Yes," he says to Aremus. "Good idea."

He approaches Lord Drylund. "Milord," he begins with an elaborate bow, "it's a pleasure to see you again. Would you be willing to favour us with your company for a drink?"
