[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6842895, member: 6781356"] I wait until the fog causes me to lose sight of my circling companion. I stand there very casually, one hand thumbing a loop on my weapon belt while the opposite rests easily on the pommel of my sword. "Lovely night for some carpentry, friend." [sblock]Farmer Barnum is obviously high strung with a hair trigger. I'm trying to disarm him with easy-goingness and social grace. Defy Danger (Cha) 3, 3 +1 = 7 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice.[/sblock] "Costly venture, this building you're constructing. You just secured a pouch with 200 coins. That will go far toward your project. The problem is, reimbursement for your damages back at your farm would figure maybe 2/3 of that." I put my hand up and pat the air, letting him know to hold on before he feels I've gotten all accusatory. "Now I'm willing to look past that...AND...sweeten the pot with an extra 25 coins. That is if you agree to a very simple arrangement. A Warlock with Baba Yaga as his patron would have the mysteries of the universe at his fingertips. Perform a ritual of revelation on a young human girl. That is effectively 100 extra coin to pay your laborers or barter for materials." [sblock]Parley (Cha) 1, 6 +1 = 7 They will do what you ask, but need some concrete assurance of your promise, right now.[/sblock] I look toward the direction where Saerie disappeared into the fog.
