The hobbit doesn't wait for an answer jumping straight for the rope, he picks it up and examines the evidence more closely. You say this area is generally safe, and Kurin assures us a dwarf wouldn't cut a knot unless he must. Hmm... Hobnob weighs the conflicting assertions, he takes a long draw of his pipe, rolling the rope in his hand; clearing his mind of everything but the evidence at hand.Holti, I'd like your village to have this, thanks for your hospitality. says Hobnob as he stands from his contemplation. The hobbit retrieves about a days worth of his own pipeweed, a considerable amount indeed, and gifts it to Holti; gauging his reaction. After a few moments pass, Hobnob begins again My cousin and I are setting up to expand our fore-fathers trade here, and if your village would look favorably upon us in the future as well, we'd be greatly honored. The young Hornblower wanted to leave a good impression on possible trade routes, and assumed this enough to guarantee a celebration from the small village. At the same time he was looking for signs of guilt or untruth from the villager. [sblock=OOC]Using search on rope to determine as much as possible from that small piece of evidence, specifically; was it actually cut, or did it snap. Does it appear that the boat was full or empty upon being cut from the line, or would the stake not be able to support that kind of weight. (Invoking trait Smoking for search, as Hobnob will be using it for clarity of mind, and concentration.)EDIT: GANDALF! WOO!Using insight to scrutinize Holti. 15 vs Holtiwith a 6 on Success![/sblock]</blockquote>
