Nera, Tronus, and Hildar
Intrigued by the trap door hidden among the floorboards, Tronus and Hildar agree to help move the bed out of the way. Each of the inquisitors takes three of the four corners and on a count of three, tries to lift. However, try as they might, the bed refuses to budge. It seems to be made of a dense hardwood, making it difficult to dislodge with sheer muscle power.
OOC:
How do you want to spend the 3 advantage?
In the village square, Nekurr is drawn to the card game like a moth to a lantern light. The Half-Catfolk crosses the earthen square toward a building with a dingy wooden sign that reads, "Erfan Eswyse, Physic." Three elderly men—two Humans and a Gnome—sit on small, wooden stools, huddled over a wooden table. They are embroiled in some sort of card game. The Gnome looks to Bruv and Nekurr but otherwise doesn't look up from his game. He throws down a card on an opponent's stack.
"And that'll be a full Fisherman's Net, then, Hoggie. I'd tell ya to pay up, but I think the baron's forces of law and order might be here to arrest the lot of us for illegal gambling!" The sarcasm drips from his cracked, high-pitched voice.
OOC:
Trying to speak to them will entail a social check. Charm will be Average (PP) for either of the two Humans, or Average upgraded (RPP) for the Gnome. Leadership is Average (PP) for the two Humans; RR for the Gnome. Deception and Coercion are Average (PP) across the board.
You're starting with 2 setbacks. You can assume one of those is due to a general dislike of baronial outsiders attempting to push folks around.
You can each take a crack, or one of you can narratively assist the other. I'm not seeing this as a full-fledged social encounter, but it's not a one-roll resolution either.
Remember, Nekurr is still plagued by bugs. Bruv will be, too, if he drops his Utility spell to cast Augment and maintain that.
You've heard this guy sells something against bugs. No social check to just ask about that.
