I had a problem with a game a couple of nights ago that started with an intimidate check.
My players were given information that said "This guy has all the information that you need. He can get you into places, etc. You just gotta "sweet talk him"" Eseentially they were supposed to intimidate, maybe punch him in the face a couple of times. Pay him off. Whatever.
So they enter the tavern he stays at, sees the man in the back and walk over to him for a chat. It's one of those seedy bars, where you can actually punch a man out and the most that will happen is people duck their head lower.
Anyway, They talk to this man and perform an intimidate check. They fail said check. I tell them in so many words and so one of the members, the fighterish guy, draws his really big weapon and said "Run that by me again?" Now, He has already failed his intimidate check. but now he has a really big weapon drawn, admittadly the man saw it before, but now it's drawn and looks a little more menacing. So what am I supposed to do? redo an intimidate check with a +2? Or should the man stay unimpressed? Should the gaurds have been called in when they weapon was drawn? Any suggestions for the next time would be much appreciated.
