The First Sacrifice (OOC)

Out of character chatter about The First Sacrifice can go here to avoid cluttering up the Roleplay thread.This is for longer questions and answers related to that Roleplay, general rules questions not answered in the Help! thread can go in General.

Add a link back to the post in question so we can have context. After posting you can right-click on the orange header and select 'copy link address' (or whatever your browser calls it), then paste that in your OOC post.

I wonder if it means anything that this is titled 'the first sacrifice'. Probably not important. :)

Maybe my post wasn't the best to end the thread. A bit foreshadowing :)

If you want, you can narrate Albert getting to and maybe entering the back of the inn.

Saw this too late. I'll go ahead and write some more then :)

When you say "looking in your direction" does that mean he sees Albert, or just looking in the direction of the kitchen area?

Bad choice of words. No they can not see into the kitchen. You can decide if it is another door, or a curtain or whatever.

Would it be okay is Albert recognizes this bartender? Maybe not as a friend, but at least as someone he's met before.

This valley seems very cut off from the outside world. I was prepared for this bartender have heard about Albert's inn and it burning down, there must be some travelers coming through here from time to time (they were not all the surprised to see you, and what else is the inn for?), but you will have to motivate real hard for knowing each other.

If you think it will be worth it we can make it happen. What do you want to get from this?

Ah. In that case, it doesn't make sense. Never mind :)

Sure.

There is only the barkeep behind the bar.

Apparently the kitchen is empty as well. :)

The assumption that the barkeep will not just rat you out was bold. I considered Rolling the Die of Fate, but can't see how a 'bad'/low result would be interesting in this case.

It is still not 'safe'. [ref]

Is this another minute after Albert called the barkeep into the back? Or from when Albert left you guys?

You can't see Albert down there behind the bar.
Which Skill? Athletics? It will help you sprint to the foe, but does not directly affect fighting. Skills also don't apply a 'bonus to the roll', so it is still a 6 on the attack.

A minute after the barkeep went in the back. Supposing Albert is there.

I haven't used the skills in a while. Have to look up how they work again. 😔

I know, but it seemed like the least threatening way of doing it. He still might ;)
This is all based on the fact that the bartender wasn't looking happy.

Whatever happens happens ;)

Er... yes. Redundantly obviously. :)

I did not want leave it up to a Roll of Die of Fate, would rather leave it up your Role Playing and Rolls.

That sounds like +CHA to me. He is unhappy about this, so I think the worst you will get is he withdraws from the situation.
On a 6- he might make to call out to his 'buddies' on the way out --you can try stop him.
On a 7-9 he quietly withdraws, wanting nothing to do with this.
On a 10+ he might agree to help you with some provisos.
On a 12+ he will help you against these men.

We all know what 6s do when Norbert aims them at men's knees, right?

They were surprised by your surprise attack, so they have not coordinated their kicks yet. But that won't take long.

They have no real weapons that you can see, but the bar is filled with chairs and such.

You all got a nice rest last night. So you can, if you want, choose to reroll Roll you Hit Dice (1 die + 1 for each +CON). You only keep as many as you have Levels, so you keep the highest 1.

You had a rude awakening so, if you roll, you take what you get, even if it is worse then what you have now.

The roll was great so I assume Norbert gets to his feet. If not I will remove the next post.

And then some! Give yourself an advantage of some sort.
