Can I say something to get the retreating guard to stop, and maybe a big boost/success in getting this warden to reconsider? In both cases I would normally use coercion. 03 Return to Dawnsmoor

You could certainly use one to say their path get's blocked somehow (such as they get accosted by someone or they just cant get to the door), still would leave you one to play withDec 18, 2019 1:47 am

Oooooo, Khurza spots something she knows is against regulations/questionable, perhaps on some papers the warden has on their desk. Something like going over budget, a scathing letter from a higher-up, that kind of thing.Jan 6, 2020 10:52 pm

Right! Sorry for the hold up on this game. I'm slowly getting back up to speed with everything on here after Christmas so hopefully we can get up to a better pace nowOOC:
Anyone that wants to get a better look at the documents before the dwarf get's them completely out of sight can make an Easy Perception check.You have a few seconds by the looks before the guard will be able to break off from the halflings - what do you want to do?

Pomin looks from the dwarf to the desk. Then behind him before back to the desk. "We should stop him..."

Jabari nods. "On it..." The outlander strides over to the guard and tries to position himself so that the man is further hemmed in from leaving. "Good day to you, law keeper!" Gesturing toward the halflings, he adds, "I'm not from around here either. Are you the right man to talk to about locating a prisoner?"

Pomin - the documents that he is trying to hide seem to be some sort of accounts ledgers. Whilst not particularly untoward the fact that he is trying to hide them and that there are no other similar looking documents amongst the stacks on his desk.
Jabari - as you move to intercept the guard and begin to speak the figure curses quite audibly before grabbing the closest, quite surprised, halfling and lobbing them in your direction as he turns and tries to run for what you assume is a side entrance...

Sorry SavageBob, I'm afraid this guy is in no mood to talk. This will be a chase if you're wanting to catch the guy. Everyone is starting at short range to him as he's having to change his attempted route of exit. I'll need an Average Athletics check due to the difficulty of moving about such a busy space from anyone wanting to pursue him (this will be opposed with his check). Jabari will have a setback die on their check due to low flying halfling.Rolls

"I'm trying to do this diplomatically, but thanks for the tip off, I see you're trying to lighten your burden and he's the person we need to chase down. I'll take that book, thanks for not making this a headache to report to the Lord and the Council." Pomin states with a smile moving to swipe the book.
"Miss Khurza we have a corrupt guard to run down due to the astute internal investigation of this fine Dwarven Clerk!"
he adds gleefully.

OOC:
Seems like there are a couple of different approaches here that you could focus on so I'll let you pick how you want to try and resolve this:If you are wanting to just snag the documents before he can stash them make an Average Skullduggery test with a boost for catching him by surprise and a setback due to his hand being on them already
If you're just wanting to Bluff him into just letting go so you can grab them then it would be a Hard Deception check upgraded once (so 2 x Difficulty and 1 x Challenge dice)

Ok, he's still at Short range to Khurza but Medium range to everyone else. They picked up the boost die to this rounds check from their result last round and I am using all 5 Advantages to upgrade the Difficulty of tests to pursue them once (so up to 1 x Difficulty and 1 x Challenge dice) due to the impromptu road block.Jan 9, 2020 3:38 pm
OOC:
I'll go with Skullguggery attempt.Update: Looks like Pomin gets into a slappy fight with the clerk over the book and he just can't lift his death gripe on the book. Maybe with the 4 advantage maybe a higher ranking individual is drawn over due to the altercation that's beneficial to the party?

Jabari looks back over his shoulder and sees the guard and Khurza both disappear around a corner. Turning to the halflings, he asks, "What were you trying to get his help with? And did you get his name, my friends?"
Jan 15, 2020 2:29 pm
Pomin - you manage to get a brief grip on the documents as the dwarf tries to hide them but he has a firm grip and a shocked look "Wait...let got of that" he says raising his voice a touch louder than he maybe should as he snatches the papers away from you and you note a more senior looking clerk glance in your direction and begin walking over....that is until the scream....
Jabari - the halfling catches their breath and looks up at you, the others start clustering round you both seeming to be a mix of wanting to check their companion is ok and curious about you. He looks up and opens his mouth before you rapidly begin to realise you may have made a mistake asking - they appear to have been here to try to sort a land dispute out between them and 'old bludger' who is being a 'right old devil' about their vegetable patch which their granddads uncles wife apparently said they were fine to use some time ago but 'old bludger' has started digging their carrots out (this seems to be the matter of most affront to them) claiming that as they don't pay rent they have no rights to anything grown in the land.....it goes on and on and you are having a hard time following given how quick they are talking until a scream punctuates the air bringing a momentary respite from the deluge...
Khurza - you easily clear the impromptu obstacle and get right on top of the fleeing figure. As you reach out to grab them they curse and spin to face you, pulling a knife as you do. Seeing the bared blade a nearby clerk screams out in alarm.
