I think the situation is kind of stable for now, so I'll skips the augments for now.

oops... didn't post then and then forgot about it :(

So ", Nekurr recognizes the Catfolk as Meez Gerian, a regular at some of the gambling halls near (and in) the castle. The Catfolk's always struck Nekurr as by-the-book and straight-laced, but he seems to use gambling to let off steam. If Olond's his boss, you can understand why."

I'm assuming Meez may have chatted with Nekurr at some point for a small blessing or so?
"Hey Meez! It's you?" Nekurr purrs greeting to the catfolk. "So this is where you work. My cat! How can you handle Madame Olond's strong personality?" he laughs winking at Meez Gerian since it is obviously a frustrating job for the white cat. "Anyway, me and my friends here are going to investigate those tunnels, apparently they are cursed or something. Heard anything about it?"

Meez's face lights up upon recognizing Nekurr. But then confusion flashes across his snout. "Nekurr? When did you start working with the Mining Guild?" He shakes his head. "No matter. You noticed how Madame Olond's been acting? I..." Gerian clams up. "I really shouldn't talk about her behind her back." You get the impression the Catfolk isn't sharing everything he knows.
OOC:
Feel free to try a social check. I'll upgrade with a Story point. RR for Charm, RPP for Deception, Leadership, or Coercion.

"Oh I mean" Nekurr active innocently "You don't have to talk about it, but we have heard about something cursed in those tunnels..." the cleric smiles to "clarify his job""That's why they need me". He then turns a bit more serious, taking a moment to think "Do you think this change could be related to what they found there?"
OOC:
trying to get him to talk by asking tangential questions ... I'm trying to happily chat and appeal to him "wanting to talk", which I guess it's charm, but there is a lie in there... so could, be the horrible Deception...
oh the new integrated sheet is so coll :D

Rolls

Charm

1 Success, 5 Advantage, 3 Failure, 1 Despair

Total: 2 Failure, 5 Advantage, 1 Despair

Coercion

2 Success, 2 Advantage, 1 Failure, 2 Threat

Total: 1 Success

Jan 28, 2022 8:41 pm
OOC:
I think the Charm makes more sense, even if that does carry a Despair! Despair = Meez can't speak so freely now. How do you want to spend the 5 advantages?
Meez seems ready to talk, but suddenly a pair of castle guards bursts into the office. "We're supposed to escort this lot to the tunnel. Let's hurry it up, if you don't mind. We've got other duties to carry out." You notice Meez clam up as the guards bark their orders.

OOC:
There's like "learn the true goal of the target" as an option... Could he point to something or sneak a note with some relevant information about what's going on in the office?

Meez looks to his feet. "Look, Nekurr—I don't want to make Madame Osri angry. Ever since she went down in that tunnel... She's changed. I think you know how." You assume he's talking about the boss's temper. "Now, you'd better go off with these gentlemen."
OOC:
So, the roll failed, so he's not inclined to help you. But I'll reveal his true motive: Fear of his boss, and also hint that his boss is changed since going in the tunnels. You're entitled to books if you want to see them.
Feb 1, 2022 8:37 am
"That's what we came here for" *wink wink*. Nekurr replies to Meez as he joins the guards "Well, gentlemen take us to the place of "the crime""
Feb 1, 2022 2:21 pm
OOC:
@Remnant - Does Tronus want to see the books?
Feb 2, 2022 12:38 am
OOC:
My apologies, sure I'll check them out with our resident smart guy of the gorup.
Feb 2, 2022 1:08 am
OOC:
Yeah Hildar would naturally gravitate towards any documents to get a nosey at them

Gerian hastily grabs a ledger and thrusts it toward Nekurr. "Madame Olond said you'd want to see this. Please hurry. I don't want to make her more angry."
OOC:
A cursory look will be a Hard (PPP) Perception check with two setbacks, or an Average (PP) Knowledge (Geography) check with two setbacks. Perception is more looking for odd patterns in the penmanship, paper quality, etc. Geography is more double-checking the numbers. Setbacks are for being rushed.
Feb 2, 2022 8:56 am
OOC:
Aren't we all crap at those skills? 😅 Would Hildar pick the ledger being the "book's guy" of is it Nekurr specific? I could try to buy him some time with random cat-chat :D
Feb 2, 2022 2:44 pm
OOC:
I'd say you could do a group roll for one or the other check. Or split your attentions, with two of you doing one check and one doing the other. Barring a triumph or lots of advantage, you won't have time for both if you all three join forces.

Perception would be YG if Tronus does it.

Geography would be GGGGG if Hildar does it.

Nekurr can provide a boost to either roll. Or if all three of you do one roll only, that amounts to two boosts.

Feb 2, 2022 2:51 pm
OOC:
I like the idea of splitting the tasks. If Ne[ooc]kuur distracts the guards to buy some time, would it count as a boost for each?
"So... gentlemen" Nekurr starts, talking very slowly to the guards as Gerian thrusts the ledgers, leaving it to his more knowledgeable colleges to look though them. "Have you ever been into those tunnels?" he places his arms around the guards as if they were old pals, turning them away from the desk and starting to move towards the exit. "I mean, it was probably just a tunnel that collapsed or so, but it really scared those miner didn't it?" He stops to think. "Maybe it's too deep and they were lacking some fresh air. It plays tricks on your that lack of air. You know how deep the tunnels go?"

OOC:
LOL. Normally no, but it won't be gamebreaking, so sure. ;) That leaves one roll to Tronus and Hildar, each with a boost from Nekurr.
