The Name Of The Shadows

Klik will try to make his way as close to the sitting of Verthick and his team. S Motive to learn anything about his demeaner and what may be my way to impress him / respect me.

Sense Motive 4+7 = 11 ( I was due for a bad roll)
Gather Info 14+5 = 19 (but I hope to be subtle and not draw attention to myself.
Bluff 5+9= 14.

Appeal to his vanity, Klik. He will be more, receptive, to your overture should you appear to be a fellow in this contest.

Verthick doesn't seem to take notice of your interest, intent as he is upon the hrazhak match. He appears to be a little anxious at how the game is going, but that is easy to read upon his face.

Momentarily, it seems one of his teams players has managed to grab the enemy idol, and is making a run for his goal. Verthick rises up again, yelling, " Run! Run, damnit! Watch out! Argh! " but the other team has intercepted the player, and a scuffle breaks out on the field. Of course, the officials don't step in, as this is all part of the game.

Make your move now, Klik. Before the game heats up again.
 

Yelling- "Go ! Go! strike and run!" turns and gives Verthick his best and most sincere smile he can. "I would imagine you could have either dodged that tackle by side stepping him then reversing around him making him look like a fool child or straight up knocked his sense back into his thick noggin. Agh! What a game! So fast and fierce. Only a true warrior and athlete could ever excel at such a sport. I could never do any of that myself."

Verthick glances at you, but only for a moment. " Shove off, mate, he grumbles dismissively. " Can't you see the game's almost over? If you're bent on 'arrassing me, come back and talk to me then. "

Play doesn't last that much longer. Verthick's team manages to score another point, which elicits the requisite whooping and hollering, and in the end they manage to win out. After the game comes to its conclusion, most of the players head begin limping over to the healers, a bit worse for the wear.

After the final score is announced, Verthick finally looks like he is ready to leave. Rubbing his nose with his left hand, he grabs a half-empty bottle that had been accompanying him, and gets up, leaving some other rubbish for the cleaners. He makes his way over to you, after pausing a moment when his attention is grabbed by a shifter with a bandana in the same colours Verthick is wearing.

" You should know better than to be disturbing a hrazhak diehard in the middle of a game, if you're a fan of the game, " he grunts, looking you over. " Now, how's about you tell ol' Verthick what you want with 'im, before I get really annoyed with you. "

I told you, Klik, but it was not quite what you were expecting, was it, old boy? Listen to me, heed my advice, and you will do just fine...
 

" I am looking for fun and excitment and your name came up. I thought I would come over and introduce myself. I am Klik Blaze -adventurer and thrill seeker extreme."

" Is that so, mate? " Verthick laughs. " It's gonna take more than a few pretty words to convince me you're interested. "

Taking a swig from his bottle, Verthick puts his arm around your shoulders and gives you a bit of a friendly shake. " Now, why don't you tell me what you're gonna show old Verthick to convince me you're serious about that? "

Yes, Klik, why do you not show us all that you are most worthy?

"and what would you like me to do? I have various talents. I've done a bit of dungeon delving including within the Greywall Peaks and other things....more mischievious."







In his mind, Klik is already thinking about ways of dodging a grapple or chokehold if required.

" I don't think you get what I'm saying, mate. If you can't come up with something suitably exciting to show me, than you can just bugger off and forget about us. " says Verthick, grimmacing.
