TURTLEDOME!: Battle Bone (DM: KenHood, Judge: Lord S.)

What kind of a roll would it be to use Mage Hand to untie the rope?

Thievery strikes me as the best bet, as it used to deactivate devices and open locks.[/sblock]

Down the Street from the Dusty Quill

[sblock=Vaunea, Finnian, and Emral]Okay. This skill challenge will be AWESOME! I've got a map, big honkin' dogs, and all sorts of fun stuff planned. Why, the only way they could circumvent the whole thing would be...

*knock* *knock* *knock*

GAWD-***** IT!

Vaunea hears muffled shouting from inside the house.

Footsteps sound like they're coming closer to the door.

You hear a woman's voice, "You two stop being ridiculous! There are no monsters out on the front porch!"

The door opens.

A young lady stands on the other side of the threshold, paralyzed with shock.

Her mouth moves, but no sound comes out.[/sblock]

[fireinthedust]

[sblock=Vaunea, Kenhood]Why hello there. I'm Emral, this is Vaunea, and we're here about a bush. Could you help us out?

Emral turns on the charm, hoping to get the bush quickly. If not quickly, perhaps amusingly, for the crowds back at the pavillion.

Diplomacy=15

Hee-hee! Guess who just got a little self-aware because of the crowd!

"Uh...."

"Uh...."

"Uh...."

"Bush?"[/sblock]

In a Chest in an Undisclosed Location

[sblock=Drivan Only]

Thievery Roll [16] = (16)

Drivan manages to pull the loop off his head, permitting him to undo the loop around his neck, so he no longer chokes himself when he moves. Undoing his wrists will take some more work.[/sblock]

 

[KenHood]

A Few Blocks from the Dusty Quill

[sblock=Emral, Finnian, and Vaunea Only]

"Me Vaunea. Vaunea like peppers. Vaunea want peppers. Please?"

The woman in the door whirls and runs back into the house. In a few seconds, you hear a door slam, then dogs barking, then frantic screaming, then a door slamming, then footsteps approaching at a breakneck pace. The woman, panting, appears in the door holding a small bush, bits of dirt still dangling from its roots. She all but throws the bush at Vaunea. "Pleasedon'tkillus!"[/sblock]

 

[fireinthedust]

[sblock=Vaunea, Kenhood, me... lurkers?]

Emral smiles, appearing friendly and non-threatening. Oh, wait, we're not here to hurt anyone! Honest! Here, take some gold... and he shows her three gold coins (from the purse that regenerates gold every morning). Really, we're just here to get some of these peppers. We're friendly! He takes a cautious glance beyond her towards the sound of the barking. Um, are you okay? You seem frightened. Can we help with anything? We're heroes, y'know. [/sblock]
