Nera remains on edge, wondering if anything else will burst with spiders and run rampant. The though makes her shudder.

Nekurr looks at Anzila "Wasn't it you that I saw dragging the hog ..." he stops and to consider for a moment. "If this one was sick, then we have to check the others!"
Jul 9, 2020 8:50 am
Hildar nods at the mayors words, seeming to accept them before turning to regard Anzila.

"So you didn't want me taking a closer look at the Hog before the contest was due to normal reasons, for all intents and purposes it was just normal stranger danger offhandedness?" Tronus inquires to the woman who started to shoo him off before things when weird.
"I usually don't but I agree with my associate, lets start with it's feed though, it won't be eating it."

Hildar nods in agreement with the others "I'll see you over there. I'm going to take a quick look at the remains of the pig to see if there is anything....enlightening about it." he smiles at the slight attempt at humour.

talking about strain rolls, there was some free strain storing during the battle right? I may "have taken" one of thoseLast edited Jul 9, 2020 3:28 pm

Not overtly having anything to do with taxes, Bruv would like to temper the obvious eagerness his allies were showing to investigate the matter, so as not to blow the cover of their suspicions, "This seems loike Buzzard Ford's troubles... but some of our members do have a woide range of knowledge. You moind if dey check da rest of da animals, Mayor? Would miss Anzilla come along too?

Tronus can inspect the feed with a Hard (PPP) Perception check with a setback, as it's slop, so very heterogeneous.CESN, Tronus used a Talent that lets him grant his allies strain with a pep talk. You would have gotten 1 strain back from that, I think.
Mcneils, let me know if you were wanting to inspect the pig in some other way than this...
Meanwhile, Anzila remains stoic. "I only have the one hog. Had. There's no other livestock to be checked. I'm a weaver. I only took to raising that one, Bertrand, I called him, as a gift for this festival. Whatever happened to him, beats me. When I saw the Dwarf man poking around, I chased him off since I didn't want him to tamper with the hog. Poor piggy was looking green around the gills this morning, but I didn't think it was anything serious, and I didn't want to let Our Lady down." She shrugs and sort of frowns. "I think that was a mistake."

The healer finishes tending to Vern Taldaris and joins Hildar over at the pig carcass. He kicks at it with his boot and purses his lips. "Looks like corpse bugs. Never had to worry 'bout 'em 'round here." He looks up at the mayor. "Not a good sign if'n one of our livestock got infected."
Jul 10, 2020 8:33 am
Nekurr looks at Bruv and quickly pretends he couldn't care less. The orc was right, unless they were willing to assume the last tax collected was eaten by spiders, that is. So, yeah, he was probably right... "Yes of course, like my colleagues said here, I was suggesting you look into the other livestock. We could help if you'd like us to" He doesn't sounds as convincing as Bruv playing the official role, mostly because he can't take his eyes of Anzila... she knew something he was sure of that
OOC:
for the advantages, can I get one of those motivations? probably a desire would be best in this case? Last edited Jul 10, 2020 8:39 am

The only thing that comes to mind if there’s noting obvious would be to use magic in some way to detect if this was the result of a spell or if the hog was ‘simply’ infested with the bugs in a more typical fashionJul 11, 2020 1:13 am

A "detect magic" spell is valid. Since the thing's dead and burning with fire caused by a magic missile, though, maybe auto-upgrade + setback? So R + Black.Jul 12, 2020 12:26 am

Here goes....Hmmmm, if this does show to have been a spell could the Triumph help to glean the exact mechanics of it? If not best thing I can think to use it for would be to find a significant clue on the hog’s remainsLast edited Jul 12, 2020 12:29 am

"Right, and I'm sure no one would want to let the lady down on such an important day like this..." Nekurr comments before asking Anzila "So if you're a weaver, where did you get Bertrand?" he then turns to Erfan " If you're right, you probably need to trace the hog's origin?"

Hildar pokes through the remains of the hog, his face darkening a touch before he turns and makes his way to catch up with the others.

Going to keep that info to myself for the moment until theres a suitably discrete moment to fill the rest of the group inJul 13, 2020 12:44 pm
"So she only had the one pig and wasn't sure she's claiming uncertainty on why it's the way it is after raising it for at least 3 or so months but knowingly put the pig here for the festival knowing it was sick and oddly enough wants to blame it on the dwarf that showed up today... Is that what you're trying to imply girl, this is just a mistake and it has nothing to do with you." Tronus states with a frown pointing towards the remains before inspecting the feed.
OOC:
Well a pass with a Triumph with 2 threat, maybe Tronus pulls out an odd colored piece of tapestry that shouldn't be in the slop that's partially eaten? If possible he picks it up on a stick and looks at the woman to throw back reverse shade... for the threat don't make it start wiggling cus that'd be creepy if it tries to latch onto Tronus and would personally give me the heavy geevies.Last edited Jul 13, 2020 12:48 pm
