Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 5735003" data-attributes="member: 6669384">We tend to deal more with the consequences than the details.  While visiting a mountain town in time for mid-winter festival, specifically a Bachanal, my Bard made the, erm, acquaintance of a young lady while using his magic and talents to add life to the party.The next morning the Innkeeper's younger daughter comes to the Bard's room...  looking for her sister.  Seriously uncomfortable moment.Father was upset, and wanted to know whether the Bard was planning on making an "honest woman" of her.  He'd seen my character use a spell called Transmute Beverage to turn water into good wine, and kind of had an eye out for a son-in-law who could do something like that.The Bard replied that, should their "meeting" bear any fruit, he would certainly live up to his obligations.  However, he also argued that her father had been the host of the Bachanal, had known his daughter was attending, and had certainly known what happened at these events.  The fact that she ended up with someone shouldn't have been a surprise or shock.As for being a promising son-in-law, he pointed out who and what he was, and he pulled no punches."I sing and I dance, I drink and I pursue the company of beautiful women.  I haven't a callous to my name, and I doubt that I've ever worked a full day of 'honest labor' in my life.  Am I really the man you want in your family?"He promised, solemnly, to return in three month's time, and if the young lady was with child he would stay and marry her.Fortunately for the situation, a messenger had arrived from the Emperor specifically calling us all to service in Rome, and he couldn't refuse such a summons.He did revisit, as promised, and there was no need for a wedding.Considering the mood of the Innkeeper before a high Diplomacy roll, the situation was a classic case of "Wife or death".So the "adult situations" can, and probably should be dealt with in an adult manner (as opposed to most "adult content" which tends to be aimed at teen aged boys with hyperactive hormones.)</blockquote>
