That's a difficult one... I'm probably willing to trust the mayor, so B) sneak out probably. Nekurr would likely go A.2) sleep right here :D

OOC:
Well I’m assuming Hildar is asleep on that roll so next steps for him largely depend on whether he can be woken up or not (and if anyone would even try to). He’s not made any secret of the fact he likes the mayor so it would be a safe bet for everyone to assume that he would want to stay on good terms with him.

OOC:
There's also an all-of-the-above solution. I'd assume regardless of what you choose to do, you'll be sleeping in shifts? So those of you who want to leave now do so, with an excuse at the ready. Our two sleepyheads can sleep for the time being. One or two allies (Nera and/or Tronus?) stay with them in the manor to keep watch. Sneaking out is always an option at any point. You've just got lots of eyes on you, as folks are still getting ready for bed, etc.If that sounds good, em, go ahead and narrate Bruv's exit.

"Roight, well, Oi imagine 'at at least one guard is gonna accompany me ta da stable. So, moight be a good toime ta sneak out for anyone 'oo's doin' 'at... Let's plan on meetin' at our place* soon?", Bruv exits the front door nodding to the guards, "Oi, lads. Done seein' off moi comrades for da noight. Toime to fulfill my promise to old man Galbernost... shouldn'ta accepted his offer of his stable for sleep so quickly. But can't back out on 'im now, he's been so koind..."
Let me know if a check is needed for that story?

The guards look at each other in confusion, but then Castor Wayland opens his chamber door quickly and stumbles out in a muslin nightgown, carrying a candle in a brass holder. "What's this all about? What about the Galbernosts? Is something wrong with the accommodations here?"
OOC:
Yeah, give me a Deception check versus the mayor: RPP with five setbacks for motivational reasons.Aug 26, 2020 4:12 pm
OOC:
LOL, 5 Setbacks?! Ok...Will flip a Story Point. Annnd, argue for a Boost as I'm pretty sure I never said or committed to the Mayor that I would stay at his place.

Yeah, with 4 different motivations, it's possible to get 6 setbacks if you go against them all. In this case, you are up against 3 of the 4! The boost makes sense, and that gives you an advantage to spend.The mayor walks Bruv out a ways and addresses the guards. "Would you three be so kind as to see Mr. Bruv safely to Bressel Galbernost's place? Wake Mr. Galbernost up and give him my apologies. Make sure he makes room for Mr. Bruv in the house." Glancing back at the Orc, he adds, "I won't have a baron's man sleeping in the hay. It's not befitting the office." Then to the guards, "Then you three come straight back. I'll wait for your return."
He then watches as the men lead Bruv down the path.

"Actually, Mayor, it 'as most ta do wit me not 'avin' any interest in takin' in an intoxicant 'at Oi'm not familiar wit. Oi'm on da job, as ya know. Gotta keep moi wits about me.
Oi've told ya Oi don't care dat yer growin' and usin' da stuff. 'at ain't moi business. But Oi do still 'ave business ta do.
So don't you worry bout me. Oi slept in worse places. 'An 'at's whoi Oi won't be sleepin' in Galbernost's 'ouse eider. Sure you understand."

"Wait! Did you just say lizards and bandids?" Nekurr gasps in horror "Then it is our duty to help you and the villagers put off those clear threats!". The cleric looks to everyone as seriously as his sleepy eyes allow "You are under the protection of the barony and we are still the braon's representatives!"
I'll wait for the final result with any extra dice needed but 5 advantages!!!! He quits his job in shame and handles the village to Nekurr?
OOC:
I'll add a bonus because this is a very logical argument and some setbacks because the mayors motivation is elsewhere :DI'll wait for the final result with any extra dice needed but 5 advantages!!!! He quits his job in shame and handles the village to Nekurr?

I thought Nekurr was already asleep? Bruv and the mayor are standing outside, meaning Nekurr wouldn't hear the conversation. But if you want to make him present with Bruv, we can do that for a Story Point?OOC:
We can use the advantage to reduce his ask to the guards. They will now only wake Galbernost up, not demand you sleep in his house. So, no need to belabor the sleeping arrangement further. But hopefully it's clear by now that asking to move about any more without an escort is bound to meet with more and more resistance. If they're up to no good, it should be obvious why they don't want you roaming about. If they're on the level, you should realize by now that you all roaming about is disrupting their most important religious event of the year--sleep, dream dreams, be blessed by their goddess.

OK, you can be outside with Bruv if you want, but your Charm check will need to add +1 R and + 2 blacks. And I swear I'm not trying to kill you all by having you stay at the mayor's house!Aug 28, 2020 8:30 am
OOC:
1 R and 2Ss coming for a final 2 success + 3 Advantages. Defenitly using those for the mayors motivations. I'll go for fear now.
The roll is to convince him that we mean to help and will be willing to set up patrols shifts during the night or something like that sort of help. Maybe have 2 of us going out in turns? Nera obviously can just disappear :D

get the villagers to relax about us as they to agree we could be helpful despite the mayors worries? maybe get some boosts to sneak?Also, if everyone wants to sleep... doesn't that mean we can go around freely at some point? :D

Just noticed you have Clever Retort, so you can bump his Threat to 4 if you want. Getting him to relax about letting you go unsupervised around the village is going to be a no-go. That butts up against all of his motivations. You're a HUGE unknown that has shown itself to be quite martially competent on their most sacred night of the year when the only thing people need to do to ensure blessings is to go to sleep.But, yeah, the 2 threat (or 4 if you use the talent) might mean he eases up on how many guards will be on the manor? I fully expect y'all to sneak out once he's satisfied you'll finally go to sleep, so it might make your escape easier. Let's say 2 threat = 1 fewer guard, 4 threat = 2 fewer guards?

The only question is if anyone wants to come with (or at this point confirm, less guards is certainly helpful).Aug 31, 2020 2:23 am
Wayland yawns and shrugs his shoulders. "Look, Mr. Bruv. I'll move the effigy into my chamber and open the window. You and your comrades won't smell even a whiff of incense. But if you still want to sleep in the hay, I'll send a couple of these fine men to let Bressel know." He claps Nekurr on the back. "With the house full of your friends here, I'm less worried about our safety, but I'll keep a man on the house just in case."
If Bruv still wants to go to the Galbernost farm, let me know, em. It's no hassle to have y'all split up for the time being.
Then, I need to know what your watch order will be. (I'm assuming from the general paranoia that you'll be taking turns at watch, right? Assuming it's about 1 AM or so, it's 5 hours till dawn. If Bruv sticks around, that could mean 1-hour shifts for each of you, or without Bruv, 1-hour-15-minute shifts, of double up duty for two 2.5-hour shifts.)
