[IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

Oct 5, 2021 11:08 pm

Hildar steps forward "Well now, the young lady obviously doesn't want to go with you. I would appreciate you not forcing the issue, we are more than capable to assist her.". As he speaks he slips his wand into his hand.

Nekurr sits next to the girl and opens his mouth to talk and persuade the thug that he, a qualified cleric, can take care of the little girl just as well as any ... chapel or whatever, but he is too slow so he has to wait for NPC, NPC and Jacey to go first!

OOC:

LOL. You all have been treating this as a social encounter so far, so go ahead and try Charm or Negotiation, CESN. :) If you're targeting the thug leader, that's a tall order: RRRP + 2 setbacks. You might try to convince Jacey to go with you instead, in which case you'll roll RRR plus 2 boosts + 2 setbacks for motivations. But that way may lie violence.

Flipside of keeping things loosey goosey for now is that they get to draw weapons and continue approaching.

"Don't listen to 'em, lassie," the goon says, continuing to approach and drawing a mace from his back. His backup men do the same. "We've got to get you to safety."

"You don't want to go to the chapel?" Nekurr asks Jacey with a smile, ignoring the goons "Well why don't I, a renown cleric of Fortuna, take you?"

OOC:

Well, she is entralled by Nekurr but... did you say fight?😅

I can tell all these guys are single... Let me buy you a drink. I have a boyfriend. Pulls mace. Where? XD

Also in my mind Tronus and Hildar are warning of violence and the thugs seem to be okay with that. Nekurr eats soup and bread and talks about being a certified cleric while eating... XD...

Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

OOC:

Despair = This woman shows up. 3 Threat = she doesn't want you anywhere near the chapel.

As you've been talking, the clerics of the chapel have been hastily putting away their pots, bowls, and other meal-related items. The chapel staff hurry into the castle as the tensions rise in the air. Meanwhile, the folks who came to be fed have nearly all left the area. However, one woman remains: a tall, pale Elf in the raiments of a cleric of the chapel. She makes her presence known. "Enough of this. Let Lord Milbank escort the girl into the chapel! She's already been admitted, only she fled at the first opportunity. We have a duty to care for her there, and Lord Milbank is duty bound to see to it that she makes it safely inside. You three, I don't know who you are, but you have no business here. Leave."

Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

Nevertheless, Nekurr's overtures seem to have won Jacey over from this Milbank and his cronies. The girl clings to the Catfolk's arm, tears streaming down her face. "Don't let them take me in there! I won't go!"

Milbank and his companions haven't shown any signs of aggression toward the girl—only toward Tronus and Hildar, who have brandished weapons. Nevertheless, they are now within striking distance of the girl should they get around Tronus.

I moved between the henchman and the girl purposely that's why I didn't actually take an action. Also more shocking is that knuckle dragger is a noble!!!

OOC:

Ah, fixed. Let's say they're engaged with Tronus, but they could get Jacey after a disengage maneuver. (I.e., everyone's at short range to everyone, except Tronus, who's engaged with the leader and his backup, and the Elf, who's perhaps a medium range to the action.)

"Lord Milbank?" Nekurr pushes Jacey behind his back instinctively "You mean this brute?" the cleric points to the leader of the thugs. "Holy Fortuna's will! Did you win the title at the dice?"

"Enough of you three and your meddling! Now c'mon, girl!" Milbank says. He moves to go around Tronus, his open hand reaching for Jacey's arm.

OOC:

Seems blows shall be traded? You get the first slot. They're not disengaged from Tronus yet, as it's technically not their turn.

"One that's not how you talk to a lady, two I've dealt with half wit half goat man who had delusions of granduer and seen a greedy man having been eaten possibly alive by spiders... if you think Lord Milktank of the Knuckledraggers has clout to drag off a skinny wafe of a girl, no offense love there's no meat really on your bones, by several thuggish looked armed men when she says no, this isn't the brothel you've been kicked out of son. Think. At least look at your crew, at least they have the decency and mindset to realize opening their mouths will have utter nonsense and bullshite drivel falling out their mauw... and that's why you're in charge of them. You're as sharp as a box of rocks covered in clay wrapped in goat shite. And if the Sister Beanpole speaking for her church or for the money you or your boss are sliding under the donation cup for her to take... Shushing and what looks like kidnapping and enslavement doesn't really mesh with my religion. I should take you all to your parents and make them all apologize to me for shagging because you lot came about..." Tronus spits out venomously at the cronies and their leader with the creepy fingers.

OOC:

KarenTronus might was well use Improved Scathing Tirade.
Update: It was mentioning their parents having relations that ruined it right? Two setback to next NPC thinking about Milktank's (yes that's not his actual name) ma and pa being all mapa and pama.

Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

OOC:

2 advantage translates to 1 setback on the targeted character, so in this case, the Human leader. Will note!

Milbank seems more amused than shaken by Tronus's tirade, but the cleric responds. She strides forward, a mace appearing in her own hand. "You are interfering in church matters, you irate little fever blister. I will not tolerate it. Now, in the name of Kellos, begone!"

Aside from her approach, Tronus doesn't feel particularly compelled to leave.

OOC:

Flipping a SP. She's casting Curse on Tronus with the Misfortune upgrade. Setback, as it's mostly dark by now.

One of you is up.

"Why do older woman keep treating me like I'm their former husband..." Tronus mutters getting a queasy feeling in his gut and flashbacks to Buzzard Betty.

Hildar turns to regard the woman "The girl does not want to leave with you. If you wish to take her then you will need to force the matter or give me a compelling reason why her wishes should so quickly be disregarded"

Re: [IC] Aqua Mortis (Session 1)

OOC:

To have any impact, we can treat that as a Coercion check versus the priest -- Hard upgraded twice, with three setbacks: RRP+3Blk. Otherwise, Hildar can take some maneuvers if you wish, whether assisting Nekurr, moving, or aiming a spell.

OOC:

I don't think Hildar wants to deter her really, he's pretty much just looking for a justification so if things do pop off they're not on the totslly wrong side of things. Might make sense to treat it as assisting one of the others (assuming their actions key off of what he said)

Yes, thanks for asking. My apologies -- I'm facing some deadlines in real life that are delaying me a bit. I'll try to update things later with the NPCs today.
