[QUOTE="Amaryllis, post: 725480, member: 10654"] The halfling looks towards Bolnor and smiles charmingly at him. If no-one interrupts, this is what she says: "You have certainly gathered a diverse and...interesting...group for this task. I agree with 'whatsit' that it all sounds too easy. I think it is only fair that you give us some more information before we consider your request. First, if you let me know a little bit about the disease, I have some general knowledge of alchemy that might be of use. Such knowledge might also help us protect ourselves in the event that one of us becomes infected. From what you have said this is unlikely, but without an understanding as to how the contagion spreads, we might not know what to avoid. Second, we will need a map of the area so that we can find this alchemist you speak of. It would be especially useful [smile] if this map could include the whereabouts of any known dangers. Third, it would be useful to know a little bit more about him other than the fact that he is "eccentric". What will he demand in exchange for the medicine? Fourth, and I know you didn't mean anything by it, it cannot help with some of these others [looking at the human who had just spoke] that you insult us. Now I, personally, am not offended, I have been called worse with far greater accuracy in the past, but sometimes these humans can be a little [whispering this last word so that the human cannot hear] sensitive. Finally, and I have lost track of numbers [smile], the human at least seems to expect a higher payment. With your current offer, you risk splitting the group. Personally, I am not one to quibble about these things, but the smaller the group, the worse our chances." [Speak silently check for word "sensitive" = 7] [Diplomacy roll = 14; Adjusted = 22]. [Bluff check that I am not interested in money = 6; Adjusted = 14] [Perform sense motive check - DM to roll] [/QUOTE]
