DrK Crimson Throne OOC

[farothel]

Unlikley on the blight hitting your hosehold. My son had it last week but he is quite small he spent most of his week playing fortnite with similarly afflicted school friends and had a mild dose

Not having to go to school because you are sick but still being well enough to do just about anything. Sounds like kid's heaven.

(1d100)[62] Gossip v 54 on Weapons Check Guy, with whatever mod for being generous

@DrK
Does it seem likely that Cassian could get a quarterstaff - or at least some sort of walking staff that could count as such - aboard the Eel? The thought of wandering into a hive of scum and villainy with only a dagger doesn't sit well with him.

[wilphe]

[rax]

Are you insinuating that Cassian is going to save the crime lord from an evil wizard?

[DrK]

He could have easily have acquired one before the Eel's end if he so wished

Which of the boats are you heading to? Sleep, "sleep", opium den, gambling or pit fights?

[farothel]

I would say pit fights, as we have more chance on seeing our mark there.

[wilphe]

Agreed

Also none of us are looking to get high or find "companionship" and wandering around either without partaking would be suspicious

[Haval]

Let's do that.

[Haval]

Does Andrei know what Barvasi looks like

Common Knowledge (Korvosa) vs. Int 53
(1d100)[32]

Perception vs. Int 53
(1d100)[61]

He looks like this....

[DrK]

Apologies for the sudden absence over the past week. Its been crazy at work and I'v been needing a break from screen by the time the night rolls around.

[wilphe]

No problem and glad to hear you are ok

[wilphe]

Winifred is going to introduce herself only

She won't introduce the others because that would mean introducing Cassian and she is sure he doesn't want his name associated with this.

It might be anyway, but not by her doing

[rax]

Perfectly understandable. I'm pretty knackered myself, hence Cassian being the strong but silent type.

[wilphe]

Well, base Fellowship 44

Etiquette should give a bonus for sucking up to him, she is treating him as a high ranking noble

Gossip with skill mastery

44
+10 Etiquette
+10 Gossip =64

(1d100)[83]

Fortune point if necessary

(1d100)[47]

[wilphe]

We waiting on anyone?

[DrK]

Was giving Cassian a chance but will update today

[farothel]

Time for some carrot and stick I would say.

[rax]

Sorry, Cassian has nothing to add.

[DrK]

For those talking with the charming King of Spiders could I please have some skill checks to back up the great roleplaying?
You can select which Fel based skill you think your PC is using

cheers

[farothel]

Well, I'm not sure which skill to use, but as I have no fellowship skills, it will be untrained for me anyway. So whatever the GM feels is appropriate.
so: (1d100)[49] (vs 17 if it's fellowship, vs 21 if strength for intimidation, as that goes on strength).

[wilphe]

Fortune point if necessary

[roll1]

In addition to this?

[rax]

Would you look at that. I keep forgetting that Cassian has the Charm skill, which I expect is what's needed here.

Charm test (1d100)[31] vs. 41 (Fel) or 51 (if Etiquette is applicable, though I expect this is more of a Streetwise situation)

[wilphe]

I had thought Etiquette appropriate for Winifred expressly because she is trying to flatter him and if while not exactly treating him as "The King of Spiders" certainly "A Lord of Spiders"

I agree that it probably wouldn't apply to Cassian's efforts

[rax]

I don't think the talent description really seems to stretch that far, but I have no issues with it if DrK wants to play it that way. Hence why I followed your lead and added Etiquette as an optional boost to Cassian's target number.

[farothel]

At least you have a success without the talent. Of course, fellowship isn't Ciraneoth's strong point (unless it's with other rangers/scouts/woodsmen).

[DrK]

In addition to this?

Yup, it’s like a skill challenge so needs more than 1 roll.

[wilphe]

Ok, after the roll to not get immediately killed here comes the roll to get him onside

Well, base Fellowship 44

Etiquette should give a bonus for sucking up to him, she is treating him as a high ranking noble

Gossip with skill mastery as she is more trying to engage with him, and perhaps get him to reveal information inadvertently

Yes this is a case of using the tools that you have

[wilphe]

Just throwing that proposal out there

There's been enough hints that they'd really like to see an elf down there
