Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

OOC:

@Remnant: In typical Tronus fashion, there are elements of a couple different skills in that pitch. :P At this point, you're just trying to convince her to slow down and speak to you rather than rush off to the jail. I'll let you decide if you're more trying to appeal to her better nature (consider the plight of the refugees! — Charm), or if you're more trying to convince her that she doesn't want to come off looking insensitive to them (the part about you bringing this up later with powerful people — Coercion).

Since Tronus doesn't seem concerned about the miners (her main concern), Difficulties are Charm: PPP + 3 setbacks; Coercion: PP + 3 setbacks.

OOC:

Yeah, Mcneils5 has been quiet in my other game, too. He may be away at the moment. Feel free to pump the guard for more info, but we can also pause here to wait for him to get back.

The guard laughs at the candy. He points at it with the inky quill. "I'm afraid you'll need to hold onto that a bit longer. They're both at the chapel under care of the priests. Under guard, of course. From the testimony of the local merchants, it seems clear your friends are responsible for what happened—Madame Lone here saw this Grimbly attack the old Gnome fella unprovoked. But their behavior suggests they're not..." He scratches his mustache with an ink-stained finger and continues, "...not right in the head. The clerics will tend to them until they're right enough to speak for themselves. Now, if you have any other questions about the incident, I can maybe fill you in."

Sorry, has been a busy week

Hildar frowns at the guards words "Not right in the head you say, we’re they acting irrationally? We certainly didn’t see any extreme behaviours amongst the survivors of the village

OOC:

I like the idea of Tronus trying to be charming and sneering 'No smiling' at her with intense eyes to show he 'cares'. Let the dice fall I guess.

Edit: LMAO Well someone is possibly getting smacked.

Hildar & Nekurr

The guard flips through some papers, muttering, "Let me see here... Ah, yes. Here it is. Looks like This Lysentrude Galbernost was caught stealing food, bedding, and hygiene products from other people in her cell. Seems even after receiving a severe beating from a fellow prisoner she brazenly continued to steal from the others. And as for this Melchic Grimbly fellow, seems after he was apprehended for assault, he attempted to beat the guards carrying him, then attacked the other prisoners in his cell. The captain of the guard has determined that neither prisoner seems to be of sound mind, so he has requested that the clerics check them for potential drugging..." He looks up at Hildar, meets his gaze. "Or perhaps worse."

Tronus

OOC:

LOL. I think it just means she's identified you as an enemy, so getting information out of the miners is going to be harder.

The woman fakes a smile. "Thanks for that. Now I know what side you're on. Let me make it clear... What was your name again? Lord Thrombosis? The Mining Guild wishes no ill on the refugees. But my first duty is to protect my miners and to hold Lord Renash, son of the very same baron you speak of, to his legally binding contract with my guild. We have the sole legal right to excavate the Dribbage Water Tunnel. And we have the right to safe working conditions to do so. Now, until such a time as Renash and his lackey, Marseen Olond, wants to ensure that there will be no more accidents of the type that felled this young man's father..." She indicates the young Dwarf seated nearby. "...we will continue our work stoppage and use every resource at our disposal to ensure that the tunnel remains closed to further work by us or by anyone else. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some guildmembers to get released." The smile never leaves her face through the entire monologue. She starts to leave, but then she stops to add, "Oh, and don't even think about talking to my injured miners. I'm warning them about you. I don't think we can trust you to not twist their words. They faced a nightmare down there in that tunnel, and I'm not going to jeopardize their chance to get that made right." And just like that, she's gone.

"Stealing food and basic good?" Nekurr looks to Hildar "That sounds more like desperate than possessed by the devil. " he laughs. "Maybe we should check what the clerics think about this.". Before leaving he turns back to the guard "What do you know about this Dribbage mine business by the way?"

Hildar turns to Nekurr as they are leaving "I think we need to see the two of them and speak to these clerics. I suspect something is having an undue influence on things here"

OOC:

Going to try a Charm check on the guy.....Advantage for him to let slip with some interesting bit of info maybe

Ok, had the wrong end of the stick here, have edited my post above to be more sane and just forget the Charm

Tronus blinks taking in the new information, "Great! We're on the same page then and it's Tronus of Clan Granitebreaker. What kind of injuries? Injured from claws, undead, hooved footprints, or uh anything demonic like. Yeah I agree if it's related to any of those we need to shut it down now."

Tronus

The woman is already outside the room by the time Tronus gets a word in. If she hears his followup questions, she makes no sign of it as she disappears down the corridor.

The young Dwarf clears his throat. "Um... I'm sure you can see your way out, Lord Granitebreaker?" He smiles sheepishly.

OOC:

Reminder, as it may have gotten lost in her response: Barnpuddle's dad was apparently part of whatever accident shut the tunnel down for the mining guild and opened the door to the refugees to take over. He's under orders not to talk now, so getting him to do so with Charm, Coercion, or Leadership is going to be RP with 3 setbacks.

The guard spins the quill between his thumb and forefinger. "I agree. No reason to think there's anything mysterious at work. It's either desperation or, perhaps, noxious fumes. A mineshaft doesn't offer much in the way of fresh air, you know." The guard nods over toward the area where the miners are sitting and shrugs his shoulders. "As for this whole tunnel business, all I can really say is that we've stepped up patrols around the dig site to keep anyone else from getting in or out. We've asked Dribbage Acquisitions to cease work for the time being, but this Olond person in charge is in talks with the captain of the guard to let her take over security as long as she ceases work until the dispute with the miners is settled." He pauses, then adds. "Don't know much more than that."

Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

"Welll that's it I guess you're aren't aloud to talk to me... Sorry bout your father. Guess before the deal no one told the miners about the area used by a man that half transformed himself into a demon with cloven hooves to summon more powerful things from the dark under the crypt. Took a while to take down what came up even for a non combative half goat it was rubbish chasing him down. Hopefully your dad gets better. Hope the refugees didn't take the job unknowningly... if they all die in the tunnels well I guess the job will be available and there will be a young ones running the streets with desperation in their eyes... watch yourself." Tronus states before moving to slowly leave.

Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

Onin Barnpuddle's eyes nearly bulge out at mention of goat-men and demons. "Pa said it was just a pocket of air we done opened up down there!" His voice has been raising, so he catches himself. "Look, if you think it was something more than just trapped swamp gas or something, you gotta see my old man! I'll be done with my shift here at sundown. If you can visit, Ma's taking care of him in our house in the mining camp... Number 35. I'll tell 'em to speak to ya. I won't tell Madam Hensnest, honest!"

OOC:

You got an invite to meet his Pa for the success. 2 advantage -- let me know if you have ideas.

"So you're saying that this Olond person trying to get the captain of the guard to reduce the patrols, if Dribbage Acquisitions to cease work and waits fro the miners dispute to end?" Nekurr asks the guard, considering what Olond may be up to. "So no one has been in or out recently?"

"What's his injuries? I mean I wonder what his injuries are? If I figure out what while you mumble to yourself I'll bring somethings he can take to help if I know while I randomly walk around." Tronus states.

"Sorry, Sir, but I can't speak more here," the young Dwarf says, blushing red under the stubbly beard. "If you're a physic or an herbalist, though, you might speak to Father Gettle. He's been treating Pa since the accident. Please, now... leave. I don't want to get in trouble with the guild..."

The guard shrugs. "Things are changing minute by minute. Last I heard, the guard was ordering the tunnel closed and making sure that order was followed. That should mean no one's gone in or out since early this morning, at least. What Madame Olond is up to or not, I can't say. But her offices aren't far, just across the castle in the bureaucratic wing." He looks anxious to get back to his bookkeeping. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to process all these prisoners before the Mining Guild representative gets here."

OOC:

So I think the plan is for all three of you to meet up at Olond's office. Is that still the case?

Tronus leaves to find this Father Gettle and compare notes. "We should probably pay them a visit too." Tronus mutters to himself thinking of the situation before around that area.
