GM: +2 MP on mud hexes (adjacent to the river)
Berkun: move and attack, shoot the eagle

GM: Effective range is 43 yards.
Berkun: predictive -2/1, not aiming at any particular location[3d6.skill(19,2-5-2)] => [1,5,1] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7

Animals: Feverish Dodge [3d6.skill(10,2-1)] => [4,1,4] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2
| 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer (on deck: [28] Bandit Archer) |
Lenia: That sort of answers my 'is it in range for Regular spells' question.
Hammer: how far can I roll? 1 hex
GM: As a move action, yes.
Hammer: to roll over on my back is like a step?
GM: I suppose so.
GM: But you'll have to Evade the guy who is standing over you.
Hammer: ((What does that mean in lay terms?))
GM: Contest of DX. You're at -5.
Berkun: (to move trough his hex)
Hammer: hmm, I'll kneel
Hammer: I see
GM: You doing that?
GM: The kneeling?
Hammer: Just kneeling then , yes

Berkun: roll for panicking from the noise, though?
Hammer: nope
GM: No, 6 pm exactly.
Hammer: 71 minutes
GM: Right.
Lenia: Drat.
GM: Berkun, panic check for your Phobia, yes.
Hammer: Nyah
Berkun: [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [6,3,6] = 15 vs (12) or less Failure! by 3
GM: Isn't your Fear at 15? So you succeed?
Berkun: no, that was on 9-
Berkun: Berkun's fine
Berkun: yeah, it's only mild level
GM: Okay, you're still at -1 IQ and DX for the rest of the fight.
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell (on deck: [24] Mrugnak) |
** Connell steps out of the bushes, and begins calling on lightning spirits. (( Lightning, -3 for 1 less FP, 2FP-> 6d6 [3d6.skill(16,-3)] => [4,6,5] = 15 vs (13) or less Failure! by 2 )) **
GM: Well, you didn't blow up.
Mordreona: ((the night is young))

| 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia (on deck: [24] Bandit Goon) |
Hammer: ((and he talks like Froggy now))
** Lenia extends her staff towards Berkun and Bandit 5, her voice ringing with command as she shapes air to her will. (Shape Air, in a line beginning directly NW of Bandit 5 and crossing the Bandit Blade's hex. 10 FP for 5d knockback-only in that line, which I think is just Hammer, Blade, and Bandit 5 but may include the Archer.) **
GM: Can you draw it?
Lenia: (Range is 8, -2 for staff, +3 for shouting, -5 for two lower FP cost.)
GM: Actually, roll it first.
Hammer: ((Yeah Lenia...I need a chaotic diversion =D))
Lenia: Oh hey, this is gonna fail.
Lenia: Shape Air: [3d6.skill(18,-6+3-5)] => [3,5,2] = 10 vs (10) or less Success! by 0
GM: Luck?
Lenia: I'm not wasting luck on a 10-. :P
Mrugnak: (( here goes the taint ))
GM: Taint 1.
Lenia: So taint. :D
GM: Your spell fails.
Hammer: heheh
| 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Bandit Goon (on deck: [24] Bandit Blade) |
Hammer: Your taint situation is becoming really hairy
Bandits: Step to the side and hit Mordreona defensively [3d6.skill(19,-1-4)] => [3,6,1] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 DA-4/-2
Berkun: does the bandit goon have a shield?
Mordreona: side step and feverish dodge
GM: Has a shield. People without Perk: Surefooted can't retreat in the swamp.
Mordreona: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,-2+2+2)] => [2,4,6] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1

GM: DX check at -4 to try *with* perfect balance.
Mordreona: DX (15) [3d6.skill(15,-4)] => [4,4,3] = 11 vs (11) or less Success! by 0
Narrator: Slipping on the mud, Mordreona falls back before the blow.
| 10) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Bandit Blade (on deck: [20] Bandits) |
Bandits: Bandit blade steps back and turns slightly.
Bandits: Bandit archer fast-draws [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [4,6,4] = 14 vs (15) or less Success! by 1 and fast-knocks [3d6.skill(18,-3)] => [1,6,2] = 9 vs (15) or less Success! by 6

GM: Any defenses?
Lenia: ((That looks weapon master-y.))
Hammer: Flank?
GM: No, he started behind you and stayed behind you.
Hammer: Ill defend if I'm aware of the attacks
GM: No.
Hammer: I blocked the arrow
GM: Right.
GM: Damage is [3d6+2] => [2,2,5,2] = (11) cutting to the right arm, [3d6+2] => [2,2,3,2] = (9) cutting the left arm.
Hammer: at -3 total
Hammer: I think crippled?
GM: You take 10 damage to your right arm - crippling it - and 7 to your left, so it hurts a lot but isn't quite crippled.
Hammer: 5 DR
GM: I have 4 on the arms.
GM: Leather only.
Hammer: thats hands
Hammer: leather +1 skin +2 enchant
GM: So you take 9 and 6 and your right arm is crippled.
Hammer: k

GM: Bandit 3 steps to Hammer's flank and hits him in the face [3d6.skill(14,4-5)] => [4,2,1] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6 telegraphed

GM: Shield cancels the flank and kneeling penalties. Fair enough, Hammer.
Berkun: dodge, feverish and retreat[3d6.skill(11,1+2+3-2)] => [5,4,2] = 11 vs (15) or less Success! by 4
| 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona (on deck: [28] Berkun) |
Mordreona: I try to hide again.
Hammer: ((Forgot that was on my shield side...as well as every thing else =P))
Mordreona: Stealth (19) [3d6.skill(19,-10)] => [6,2,6] = 14 vs (9) or less Failure! by 5
GM: You can't.
| 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun (on deck: [28] Hammer) |
Mordreona: Then I back up and AoD
Berkun: fast draw barbed[3d6] => [5,6,3] = (14) fast load[3d6] => [4,1,2] = (7)
Berkun: shoot bandit 5 from the flank

Berkun: [1d6+6] => [5,6] = (11)
Narrator: He pulls his shield up, but not quite fast enough.
Berkun: yeah...
Berkun: it might come trough the other side of the skull...
Hammer: ((flank...in one eye socket out the other))
Berkun: oh, right!
Berkun: nah, impossible
Narrator: Then Berkun's arrow rips through his brain and blood spurts everywhere as he drops.
Hammer: ((He's a wild and crazy guy))
| 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer (on deck: [28] Bandit Archer) |
Hammer: I assume my sword drops out of my crippled arm?
GM: Consciousness check, and stun check. And yes, your sword drops.

Animals: All-Out Dodge and climb 7 yards.
Lenia: How high does that put it?
Animals: 22 yards.
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell (on deck: [24] Mrugnak) |
** Connell claps his hands and rubs them together, winding up another lightning bolt. And this time he really e-nun-ci-ates. (( -3 for FP off, +3 for shouting. [3d6.skill(16,0)] => [3,2,1] = 6 vs (16) or less Critical Success! by 10 [B556] )) **
Mrugnak: (( -2 for FP off. ))
Connell: (( That was supposed to be 2FP-6d6 like last time. ))
Mrugnak: (( not that it matters. ))
Lenia: -2 for FP off, but only +2 for shouting, so it evens out.
GM: What do you want for the critical success?
Mrugnak: (( aha ))
Connell: Uh... accuracy?
Lenia: Free turn of Aiming?
Connell: Sure, that works.
Lenia: Homing lightning bolt?
Hammer: ((a new arm for Hammer))
GM: Okay, +6 to hit. The air spirits guide your aim, focus your vision.
| 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak (on deck: [24] Lenia) |
** Mrugnak chases the Goon with a Step, aiming to try and circle around opposite to Mordreona. **
Mrugnak: (( someone's been moving Mrugnak, right? ))
GM: Yes.
GM: You, the goon, and Mordreona are making a equilateral triangle right now.
Mrugnak has sent you a tree node...
Mrugnak: And then two Rapid Strikes, once to the torso with DA -4/-2, once to the neck.
Mrugnak: so -10 to the torso, -11 to the head
Mrugnak: neck
Mrugnak: thing
GM: Okay.
Mrugnak: First, torso!
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [3d6.skill(24,-6-4+2)] => [4,3,3] = 10 vs (16) or less Success! by 6 Bless +2 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
Mrugnak: Second, neck!
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [3d6.skill(24,-6-5+2)] => [3,4,3] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5 Bless +2 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
Bandits: Block and retreat, twice even! [3d6.skill(13,3+1)] => [4,2,2] = 8 vs (17) or less Success! by 9
[3d6.skill(13,3+1-5)] => [6,6,3] = 15 vs (12) or less Failure! by 3
Mrugnak: To the neck!
Mrugnak: I think?
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [4d6+3] => [2,2,1,6,3] = (14) cr
GM: Sadly, yes.
Hammer: ((21 more...))
GM: You smash him back and crush his neck. He drops.
** Mrugnak whirls Huvudet-krossat-i around, spraying blood everywhere. (Flourish!) **
GM: Hey, he has armor!
GM: Flourish does what?
Hammer: ((lol))
Mrugnak: That's the free intimidate.
Lenia: Free intimidate check.
GM: Okay.
Mrugnak: Intimidation (13) [3d6.skill(13,+1+2)] => [6,1,2] = 9 vs (16) or less Success! by 7 Bless +2 Includes: +2 from 'Appearance'; Conditional: +1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
Lenia: But I don't think anyone can see him clearly except Mordy.
GM: Right.
| 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia (on deck: [24] Bandit Goon) |
Mrugnak: guys get +4 for cover then on the will?
Lenia: This may not work: Shape Air, 8 FP for 4d Knockback, beginning at the ground where I put the vials and aiming straight at the eagle. Use Apportation to try and keep the vials on target as the wind carries them to the eagle.
Mordreona: ((I can not see through the blood.))
Lenia: ((There aren't actually many guys standing, Mrug.))
GM: That's pretty nuts. Roll the Shape Air.
Hammer: ((Blade may be in view))
Lenia: Shape Air: [3d6.skill(18,+3-5)] => [6,3,5] = 14 vs (16) or less Success! by 2 +3 for shouting, -5 for reduced FP cost. I'll also crouch to avoid beaning myself with the vials and possibly help defend against that archer if he decides I need to sprout an arrow.
Lenia: Luck.
Lenia: [3d6.skill(18,+3-5)] => [4,5,5] = 14 vs (16) or less Success! by 2
Lenia: [3d6.skill(18,+3-5)] => [5,5,5] = 15 vs (16) or less Success! by 1
Lenia: ...
Lenia: Sigh.
Mrugnak: stops taint anyways.
Lenia: Oh yeah!
GM: DX roll at -2 to keep the vials on the air stream.
Lenia: I'm doing it with Apportation, can I use Will or something instead? :P
Lenia: Knockback is [4d6] => [3,3,1,4] = (11) and should hit the eagle. DX: [3d6.skill(12,-2)] => [4,6,5] = 15 vs (10) or less Failure! by 5 to keep the vials on target.
GM: No, this is still fine manipulation. DX for Innate Attacks, eh?
Lenia: Yeah, I realized that Poltergeist uses Throwing.
GM: Hey, look, Taint for 2 to turn that into a critical failure.
Berkun: hmm, how far off the target did those phials go?
Lenia: Into me!
GM: Right onto Lenia.
Lenia: I'd bet.
Hammer: ((You win!))
Lenia: Acid? Poison? Both?
Narrator: Wind blows under the vials, and they lift into the air. Lenia tries to guide them, but they slip off the stream and fall toward her.
GM: Dodge, dodge, dodge!
Mrugnak: (( dive dive dive ))
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,+1)] => [1,1,3] = 5 vs (10) or less Success! by 5
Lenia: Wow.
Hammer: ((ARRROOOOooogah))
GM: Green stuff smashes at your feet. [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [3,1,1] = 5 vs (9) or less Success! by 4
[3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,1,6] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0
[3d6.skill(9,0)] => [3,5,3] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2
[3d6.skill(9,0)] => [5,6,6] = 17 vs (9) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
GM: Most of the green slime of Oozing Doom misses you, but a bit hits your legs anyway.
Mrugnak: (( hey, a chance to use that Hazardous Materials skill ))
GM: It starts eating into your armor.
| 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Bandit Blade (on deck: [20] Bandits) |
Bandits: Steps to the side, putting a tree between him and Mrugnak, and puts his blade to Hammer's head. "If you like your foolhardy friend, you should surrender!"
| 10) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Bandits (on deck: [28] Mordreona) |
Bandits: Bandit 3 moves a tree.
Mordreona: "Laughs"
| 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona (on deck: [28] Berkun) |
Mordreona: I move. "You picked the wrong shield."
Mordreona: ###
Lenia: ((Incidentally, in that whole debacle did the Shape Air do anything to the eagle?))
GM: Uhm... [4d6] => [5,2,6,1] = (14)
Lenia: ((It was only 11 knockback, so I doubt it.))
GM: Oh, then no it didn't.
| 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun (on deck: [28] Hammer) |
Berkun: move
Mordreona: ((Sorry AFK a sec))
Berkun: "Surrender and the minotaur will eat you fast..."
| 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer (on deck: [28] Bandit Archer) |
Berkun: "Or won't eat you... if you lie down your weapons, dogs!"
Hammer: ((Intimidation?))
GM: He was moving.
Berkun: (that would be me roleplaying Berkun's default + easy to read)
Berkun: (so probably not that intimidating)
Hammer: ((Im out for the whole fight I assume?))
GM: Sadly, Hammer, yes.
Hammer: I bleed))
Mrugnak: (( unless someone can revive you of course. ))
Berkun: (got a good hand? got a gauntlet on it? grab the sword!)
Berkun: (oh)(
Hammer: ###
| 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Bandit Archer (on deck: [28] Eagle) |
Bandits: Aim at Berkun. "Surrender if you value your lives!"
| 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Eagle (on deck: [26] Connell) |
Animals: Slide off the air spout, keep climbing and all-out Defense Dodge.
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell (on deck: [24] Mrugnak) |
Mordreona: "Wait if he kills him first we each get more of treasure."
Lenia: ((Range penalty to the Bandit Blade is -7... that's actually pretty good odds of blasting him out of his boots.))
** Connell winds up and hurls his lightning bolt at the Bandit Blade attacking Hammer. (( [3d6.skill(15,+6-7)] => [6,4,6] = 16 vs (14) or less Failure! by 2 )) **
Berkun: OOPS!
Connell: (( No fair, that wasn't even a Brilliant Plan! ))
GM: No, no it was.
Lenia: CP? :P
GM: Does he hit Hammer? [3d6.skill(9,-4)] => [3,1,3] = 7 vs (5) or less Failure! by 2
GM: The archer? [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [5,4,2] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2
Hammer: Bandit 3?
GM: Bandit 3? [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [3,4,5] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3
Hammer: Awesome
** Connell shouts at the sky, "You guys are still pissed about that time with the swamp breast creature thing aren't you?!" **
** Connell shakes his fist at the clouds, "I am trying to work here!" **
| 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak (on deck: [24] Lenia) |
Mrugnak: Hm.
Mrugnak: Sitrep: Bandit blade is what, the closest guy?
Mrugnak: Now?
Mrugnak: Not very close.
GM: Everything nearby is dead. Hammer is down, about 14 yards away but behind trees.
Lenia: Yeah, about 15 yards away through three big tree trunks.
Berkun: "The sorceress commands us, you will hear her out!"
Mrugnak: I am not Fitzwilliam Treeslayer, so those trees are safe for now.
Connell: ... there's a Fitzwilliam Treeslayer?
Mordreona: "Lets not get into that just now."
Mrugnak: Sir James? Anyways. Uh. Mrugnak stays put but counter negotiates! "You hurt he, Mrugnak smash you very flat!"
Hammer: ((Intimidate))
Hammer: ((with gusto))
Connell: (( Yes, I am remembering the Mighty Treeslayer now. ))
Mrugnak: Intimidation (13) [3d6.skill(13,+1+2)] => [3,6,5] = 14 vs (16) or less Success! by 2 Bless +2 Includes: +2 from 'Appearance'; Conditional: +1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
Mrugnak: *shrug*
Mrugnak: ###
| 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia (on deck: [24] Bandit Blade) |
Lenia: Lenia moves into the river, hoping that will wash the creeping doom off (?). "I don't count many of your companions yet standing, knave! I propose a truce - both sides take their wounded away, and leave peacefully! No more blood needs to be spilled!"
Lenia: (Diplomacy roll?)
GM: Try it.
Lenia: Diplomacy: [3d6.skill(15,+5+5)] => [4,4,6] = 14 vs (25) or less Success! by 11
GM: [3d6] => [5,2,5] = (12)
| 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Bandit Blade (on deck: [20] Bandits) |
Bandits: "Mayhap - we take his gear as ransom!"
| 10) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Bandits (on deck: [28] Mordreona) |
GM: Quick question - do you guys want to continue fighting, or stop and have a parley?
Mordreona: "NO WAY, we keep his gear!"
Mordreona: ###
Lenia: ((Parley plays to Lenia's strengths, but keeping Mordreona quiet is a chore. I can go either way.))
GM: It's up to you guys, you decide before we continue. In case of doubt, we vote.
Berkun: Berkun is smart enough to shut up until Lenia orders him to do something
Mrugnak: Mrugnak isn't provoking anything. Yet.
Mordreona: I'm OK with it as long as we get all the loot.
Berkun: he will take a step to the side, though
Berkun: hoping, maybe, he'll be able to obscure Mordreona..
Lenia: I say parley - on the theory that Lenia can talk just about anybody into just about anything, and probably/hopefully get us out of here with no loss of anything more to either side. They're badly hurt, we're badly hurt. It seems fair to her and me both.
** Connell is still way off in the instance having an argument with the sky. "Yes, fine, I stepped on that chipmunk once but it ran right under my hoof, you can let it go!" **
GM: Alright, Parley it is.
Mordreona: I'll help Hammer as best I can.
Hammer: Goody
Narrator: After brief bloodshed, the fighting stops. The bandits guard Hammer's body.
Mordreona: "You best turn him over to us."
Lenia: "The way things are going, you're not going to win this fight, bandit. I'm offering you a chance to lick your wounds and start over elsewhere - which is more than you'd get from my minotaur friend. Take your survivors, take your belongings, and leave me and mine to ours."
Narrator: Another 5 bandits approach from their camp. 1 is a huge, half-orc looking fellow carrying a massive flail and shield. He is accompanied by someone wearing shining silver full plate harness, an old cruel looking fellow in a bloody robe, and a couple more bandit goons.
Lenia: ((Crap.))
Hammer: ((new disad....VOW))
Mordreona: I run for cover.
Benton: "I am not sure I like the terms of your offer, Nymph."
Lenia: ((God, I love Mordy.))
Mrugnak: (( looks like they got Sir Idiot Alot. Or he's with them, one or the other. ))
Mordreona: ((Me too))
Narrator: You think the fellow in the bloody robe is a wizard, since he's holding a huge ball of fire in one hand.
Mrugnak: (( He's a witch! Burn him! ))
Benton: "You have intruded into our swamp and attacked my men. Some payment is necessary."
Mordreona: ((may I role a stealth?))
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak get hit! Mrugnak hit back!"
GM: Mordreona: no, they are looking at you.
Benton: "Good for you."
Mordreona: Then I keep moving away into the best cover I can find.
Berkun: (how hard would be shooting the bladesman before he can kill Hammer? would it be like... DX or Per test to act a split-second before he can?)
GM: Contest of double Speed.
Berkun: Okay
Berkun: not sure then
Mrugnak: Combat reflexes help, like it does with Quickdraw?
GM: Sure.
GM: +2.
Lenia: ((I'm out of FP for spells, my power item's empty, and I'm pretty sure I'll get Fireballed if I try to drink some Paut. I'm... kind of out of options here. Guys, OOC thoughts are appreciated, since the best plan I can come up with myself is 'Lenia offers herself in place of her companions' lives.))
Berkun: (I have alchemist fire... I just don't think they'll fall for my bluff that it's a healing potion for Hammer)
Connell: (( "We are seeking a great treasure in this wood we'll take you there if you give us our friend." ))
Connell: (( Just lie. A LOT. ))
Berkun: (Berkun is bad at bluffing)
Berkun: (oh, how about turning into a bear? pretending you
Berkun: 're a wild animal?)
Lenia: ((On one hand, I wouldn't buy that. On the other hand, Lenia lies REALLY WELL.))
GM: Not really, but people tend to be too busy panting to notice the details.
Berkun: Okay, it's worth a try...
Lenia: "We've come into this swamp seeking treasure - greater than anything in your petty camp. Give us our friend - and his things - and we'll lead you to it. Of course, you'd have to travel with us for a few days."
Berkun: "Can I give him a healing potion? He's dying and gonna bleed out!!!"
GM: Lenia: Fast-Talk.
GM: Berkun: Fast-Talk.
Lenia: Fast-Talk: [3d6.skill(15,+5+5)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (25) or less Success! by 11
Lenia: ((Good CHRIST how is it that I can't roll anything better than 14?))
Lenia: ((And now I need to check my time on Luck.))
Berkun: [3d6.skill(11,-5)] => [5,4,4] = 13 vs (6) or less Failure! by 7
Lenia: ((8:57, so no Luck.))
Benton: "Riguez, tend our prisoner's wounds. We don't want to lose him."
Berkun: "All right, we're only parlaying because of him... he dies and all bets are off!"
Benton: "A treasure, you say? What great treasure? We are mighty bandits - our petty camp has some great wealth. What do you speak of?"
Hammer: ((and don't skimp on the restoration!))
Berkun: Berkun still tries to draw the bottle of alchemist fire...
Berkun: slowly, calmly, opening his mouth as if he'd be planning to drink it... which is likely to look very false(easy to read)
Hammer: ((lol))
Lenia: "Berkun. Stop."
Benton: "Don't be hasty there, archer. And come no closer. I have no idea what ruse you attempt, but I do not trust you. Stay away!"
Lenia: "That's the wrong potion."
Hammer: ((If I live through this, I want to take Berkun to the Poker table))
Berkun: Berkun stops and puts the potion away
Berkun: "Oh, they all look the same..."
Connell: (( Treasure, he asks? Weren't there druids in these woods... and they're all dead... but you know where their vast sacred regalia has been taken... ))
Berkun: he steps away nervously
Narrator: One of the goons is carrying a two-handed flail larger than he is.
Berkun: (magic black rocks!)
** Lenia smiles at the leader. "Did you see that lightshow the other night? Conjunction of stars, red beams lancing down from the heavens? We're here looking for the Mirror of Eternity - it's an artifact of great power, something capable of dealing with the kind of evil that's been wrought on the world by that conjunction. We were going to take it back to Polisberg to sell to the highest bidder - there are all kinds of people out to save the world. This swamp is turning out to be more trouble than it's worth, though - we'll guide you to the Mirror, and let you sell it - or use it." **
GM: Fast-Talk?
Lenia: Fast-Talk: [3d6.skill(15,+5+5)] => [4,4,2] = 10 vs (25) or less Success! by 15
Mrugnak: (( that's fabulous :D ))
Bandits: [3d6.skill(14,-5)] => [1,5,4] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1
Bandits: "I have not heard of such item... but it is possible."
Benton: "How much is this artifact worth?"
Lenia: "Tens of thousands, to the right buyers. Who I happen to know. We could be very, very good for each other."
Benton: "Hmmm."
Benton: "Where in the swamp is this Mirror?"
Hammer: ((Were lost...take time t find our way back))
Hammer: ((GM whisper))
** Lenia yells over her shoulder. "Connell! Where did the Raven Priest tell you the mirror was hidden?" She gives Benton another smile. "It's a bit much to ask me to be sorcerer, diplomat, *and* navigator, hm? There's only so much a leader can do. You understand, I'm sure." **
Mrugnak: (( evil. ))
Lenia: Default Sex Appeal: [3d6.skill(12,-3+5+5)] => [6,4,1] = 11 vs (19) or less Success! by 8
Mrugnak: (( even more evil. ))
Hammer: ((minus racial penalties, if any))
Benton: "Hey! Your lady there! Bring her back."
Lenia: ((Nymphs have a racial bonus. With everyone.))
Benton: "I'm sure its tough for you, Nymph. Now where is this Mirror?"
** Connell wanders up to Lenia, "Uh, Raven. Right. Over... thataway," he points, "as the raven flies." **
Lenia: "Mordreona! Stop. Nobody's going to be hurting anybody." She shakes her head at Benton. "Right?" She shrugs. "If I simply *tell* you, then what assurance do I have that my companions and I will go free?"
Mordreona: I come back
** Mrugnak mutters "Mrugnak free." **
Benton: "I would just like to know where it is. Is it near the Black Fence or..." he considers the direction you point, "the Wight Barrows?"
Mordreona: "Sorry I dropped my .. ring. Had to go get it."
Benton: "Of course." He studies Mordreona. "You looking for work, bloody one?"
Connell: "No, it's in a -" he glances at Lenia "- place I am not going to tell you about because then you'd behead us."
GM: Connell, Fast-Talk roll?
Mordreona: "Sure if you pay well enough."
Mrugnak: "Hit he, Mrugnak smash you flat."
Connell: [3d6.skill(13,-4)] => [1,4,4] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 -4 for Easy to Read I think.
Mordreona: "It would be best for us all to work together tho. Like she said."
GM: Actually, they get +4 on their side, but close enough.
** Lenia nods to Connell. "The deal is this - we lead you to the mirror, and once you have it, we go our separate ways. The location, you'll have to take on faith - just like we'll have to take it on faith that you won't wait until we sleep and just murder us. It seems fair to me, and you'll get one heck of a payoff without much effort. And there might always be other rewards, of course." **
Benton: "Of course not. Well, could you at least tell me if it's past the 3 white trees?
Mordreona: Fast-Talk (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [2,6,2] = 10 vs (13) or less Success! by 3 Conditional: +1 from 'Charisma' when making Influence rolls
Mordreona: ((sorry))
Connell: "That's not one of my landmarks."
Mrugnak: (( he's lying. ))
Mrugnak: (( about trees. Likely. ))
Benton: "I just wish to know how much supplies I'd need to pack."
Mrugnak: (( if your casters and scouts can't hunt or conjure food, you suck. :D ))
Lenia: "Plan for a week. There and back. The offer's on the table - take it or leave it."
Connell: "It's not far. Less than a hour's fl-- a day's journey."
Benton: "You do not know of the 3 White Trees? Well, then. What landmarks do you know? The Fence and the Barrows... surely you know?"
Hammer: ((he's not a Barbarian!, obviously))
Lenia: Detect Lies: [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [3,2,3] = 8 vs (10) or less Success! by 2
Connell: "I am not traveling by map or trader's road, I go by the names the trees call themselves. And let me tell you, 'The Fence' isn't one of them."
Berkun: "We have our ways of orienting"
GM: We'll end here. He's lying about something, though.
