You can make a roll before drinking, but for the sake of expedience, it's just hard liquor with since fruity notes. The Nightmare Switch

The man says he can't explain, none of them can. Somebody described it best as being like an unrelenting storm of disconnected meaningless images and sounds with no way to understand any part of it.

"Fair enough my friend." Nim downs the liquor in a few lengthy swigs and takes a look around. The demeanour eerily creepy. If he wanted to see what the fuss about these nightmares really was, he might as well get a head start on bed time.
OOC:
If Karam is there I can stick around a bit but if not I'll just let Nim head to join the folks watching over the crates.

If there's nothing to note after exploring for awhile, Raezhon will head back to the boat and turn in.

Karam listened to the exchange between Nim and the barman, drinking quietly.
She then turns and walks toward a table.
May I join you?, she asks the people (men?) sitting there.

If they agree, I’ll shoot a quick glance to Nim, inviting him to come with me. Otherwise I’ll go back to him.Jan 22, 2020 8:01 pm
They grunt and one pushes his mug to you, leaning back. He's clearly deeply inebriated, they all are, but too tired to be obnoxious about it.

Tough day today. Shall we drink to something? Karam asks, with a wide smile and raising her own mug.
Weird conversation opener. But she hopes the smile (and the fact that they’re drunk) might cover for the awkwardness.

"To oblivion!" One toasts, and the other mumbles something, taking a swig of his own.

Hell, I’ll drink to that. she says, taking a big gulp of her mug.

Seeing as my focus is to entertain, is there something I can do to charm/enchant the guy who answered my toast? I have 15 in Intellect.Jan 22, 2020 10:38 pm
OOC:
For sure, indicate to me what you're trying to accomplish and I'll assign a difficulty. Then make 1d20 Roll. If you want to spend 3 Intellect points from your pool of 15, you can reduce the difficulty by 3. This is called applying Effort.Jan 22, 2020 10:51 pm
OOC:
I want him to open up and tell me about his woes, possibly give me a name or a story regarding their current apathy. I don’t want to apply effort as this is something we’ll probably figure out later — I’d just like to have it sooner.Rolls
Enchant the nice mug toaster to give me info about their condition. - (1d20)
(18) = 18

Nim takes a seat with the group and raises the remaining droplets of his mug "To Oblivion then.." As he swigs the remaining liquid he turns to Karam and says "Seems to me a night of rest might give us some answers." He then waits for Karam's conversation with the man to unfold.

Karam heard the story told in broken rambling drunkenese. A few weeks ago, a worker in the quarry fell asleep and had the nightmare. Later, his family told him they had it as well. By the next day, the whole town has had it, everyone, and anytime they sleep, it keeps them from getting any real rest. It doesn't get any easier, either. Each time is as bad as the first.

Unfortunately for some of us, those of us whose characters are not present, we wouldn't know that and it's really hard not to metagame something like that. However there is a cheat that I've seen some players use. It's called 'walking into the room just in time to overhear something important'. It's something I don't like seeing so I won't use it myself.Last edited January 25, 2020 4:15 am

Those of us trying to get some sleep back at the boat may get to experience the glory of the nightmares first hand.... O.O

Karam turns to Nim.
OK. Let’s head back to the boat and tell the others in the morning. I’m happy with what we learned, for now.
One more thing, she asks the drunken man as she’s standing up, what was the name of that worker? The one who fell asleep in the quarry?

"Good by me, a name is a very interesting development. Let's call it a night." Nim fiddles around in his pockets for a bottle of pills before finding it and examining it for a moment. Tomorrow then. He places the bottle back in his pocket and heads back to the boat to turn in for the night.

Yay, everyone is back together.You've been told (and assumed shared with those who didn't hear it directly) about the nightmare plague that had eviscerated the towns productivity.
So, who is going to sleep that night?
