The burly Dwarf laughs maniacally and shoves the patrons out of his way, reaching Thok's position in an instant. The Half Orc'a greatsword, although not meant for fighting in such narrow spaces, and not as sharp as a regular longsword, flies in the adept hands of the young Barbarian.
Thok's reactions are lightning fast, and his will is indomitable. The large man grabs his weapon at it's base, holding it somewhat like a spear and drives it under the charging Dwarf's armpit, where his breastplate offers almost no protection. Another strike follows as the Half Orc has a brief moment to land a cut on his enemy's biceps as he pulls out the tip of his blade. The weapon is covered in dark blood, and more of it is gushing out underneath the Dwarf's left arm. However, he does not seem to notice, or maybe he does not care.
The patrons scatter out of the way with screams, and in the background the Innkeepr almost drags the female Paladin out trough the back door. The two armed men get in a struggle with what appears to be another drunk dwarf, whom however seemed only to interfere once he saw them coming to confront his comrade.
The Dwarf however does not halt after Thok's assault, but simply screams and attacks without pause! His muscles are throbbing and his knuckles have turned white from his intense grip on the hilt, as the axe flies in a wide arc and slashes the Half Orc across the belly, sundering his armour in a thin line. Bolgrim grins and stares at the young Barbarian with bloodshot eyes and a red face twisted with rage, under the cheers of the other Dwarves.
[sblock]VV a save vs
Intimidate is not a simple Will save. Check out the description. Anyway your natural 20 still counts, and actually your Will save is lower than your vs Intimate one (which uses character level as well). Oh and please do not look at my DM screen, I only post it here because i don't have my VOTD file at work and sometimes i'll want to update from there when i have the time.
Actions: Move action for Bolgrim, then an attack. Also, from now on we are declaring
Power Attacks one round in advance, to avoid only taking the power attack after one sees his attack roll (not that I don't trust you, but It's only fair). For the duration of this fight, Bolgrim will be using a PW ratio of - 5/ + 10 (since he is using a two handed weapon).
From now on Bolgrim's AC will be only 10. Enjoy! Also, I need Thok's and Kye's AC and current HP in your posts please. Also, do not forget you are still under my BD bonus for mental stats!
Attack roll (power attack included): 1d20+20=23, dmg: 1d12+15+3+10=32

The woman lets out a cold laugh and a flash of amusement runs across her gorgeous features, only for an instant.
"The greater good? I have not stated I am attending to the greater good or any other kind of good for that matter! And you, how have you decided that keeping the artifacts the Wizard is after away from his hands is actually serving any cause, be it good or evil? This is not a fairytale Halfing!"
The woman pauses and regards Herriman for a moment, before walking towards him and continues to talk with her hands spread out in simulated frustration. -
"Well yes I suppose keeping the toys inside the Valley is what you would consider a good thing. Or rather, It would be a very bad thing if they were to be taken away, as those who are in their possession would not give them up willingly, and their slaying would have very undesirable consequences for all of us. But you - what do you plan to do? What gain is there for you if you do not plan on taking anything?"
She pauses again and raises her head skyward, rubbing her nose and murmuring.
"This rain is so dreadfully annoying, and It's getting my hair wet. You won't believe how hard it is for me to style my hair. I am Vivian by the way."

The short man looks at Latham for a few moments, rubbing his belly and apparently mulling over his words, with a rather dumb expression on his rose cheeked face.
"Uh well sell-sword, sell-spell, whatever you want to call yourself my man, Fillippo will accommodate! Valuable time, yes yes, valuable time is something i understand."
The man talks as he stumbles aboard his lavish carriage and, with his large butt still sticking out of the gold-engraved door, he rummages in a chest and takes out a sack that has an all too familiar ring to it. He throws it towards Latham but Keht quickly intercepts it mid-air, despite having an apathy contest with the ever so calm second horse just a moment ago.
"Here now. Gold for time, gold for time, Filippo knows how this works! Now to the matter at hand. My only son, Antonio, has always had the dream of becoming a grand adventurer. Apparently following in his father's footsteps and taking over the best wine production and distribution business in Muirlane is not glorious enough! - The short man says that with a mixture of sadness and pouting on his face. -
And so, well I spoil him I suppose, but he is my only boy and... Well never mind. The point is he grabbed his sword and armour, and together with his stupid friends he went and got himself lost. The adventurers you see, there were some adventurers a week ago, went in to scout the Valley. Never came back. I fear... I fear he might have gone after them."
The man seems gloomy, and even his servant shows a hint of compassion.
"But, but maybe they haven't gone all the way inside you know? I mean he isn't a complete idiot, my Antonio.... Can't you use your fairy powers to.. You know... Find him? What was it those magician folk call it Devon?"
"Divination sir." the answer comes from the calm and slightly apathetic voice of the servant.
"Yes, yes Divination! You can Divination my Antonio and find him right? RIGHT?"
