The trouble with Fey Relations

Fey Halfway between elemental, spirit, and creature, the fey exist in the world. With stronger emotions and instincts than the People and more intelligent and wiser than beasts they live a life that many consider primitive. Ruled by their nobility, who are the only ones who can reliably control them, the fey long ago made agreements with the People. This pact rules much of fey interaction with mortal People but the specifics have been forgotten and lost to the common folk. It is the fey adherence to this ancient accord that has given rise to may legends of fey behavior.

Fey can lie but cannot break a pack without paying the price to the noble that rules over them. Some fey are unable to enter a home while others will never enter any structure while others enter and even destroy them at will. Fey will not use items of iron and some loose access to their magic if bound by it.

Hags
Hags are the most well-known fey spell weavers and live longer than most mortal People. Skilled with herbal lore, potion craft, runes, and ritual magic. Though less skilled than other fey with magic and enchantment they are able to replicate or even exceeded the standard fey magical effect with enough time and effort. Often considered part of the Dark Fey, those fey with more vicious natures with most preferring dark and sinister environments, hags are still sought out by others for their skills. However, it is best to do so cautiously. Often People will strive to get any Hag that resides near them to agree to a pact that limits the Hags power and movements. However, mortals have short memories and records get lost so often people are the ones to first break the ancient pacts opening the way for hags to retaliat without fear of their fey noble overlord disfavor.

In short they can lie and even break contracts but they're are consequences so most don't

alrighto
To add to my previous post then:
As far as I know the hag could be right out trying to trick us... Though... I hope it's Malgrim who is tricking everyone... I don't know if we could fight the hag

Mina nods her head and then looks back to the brewery with a deep sigh, her ears drooping. I... I think I have a plan that might get us into the house? I don't know if it will work, but at least afterward we may have a guess as to whether or not the mayor was in on all this.... She groans and closes her eyes for a moment, building up her reserve of strength, then stands up, nods, and starts in the direction of the brewery.

After this, she murmurs as she walks, I think I'd like to go get a room at the inn and try to... wind down a bit... if possible...

Following Mina, Aizashi simply tells her, I'll follow your lead.

Mina pauses in front of the door, clears her throat and straightens her shoulders, then knocks.

Hearing movement above you look up to see a woman, the one Mina saw with the girl she was sent to find, peering down at you from above. Seeing you look up she quickly retreats out of sight

Ultime suddenly appears by Mina's side, looking slightly surprised by his own advance. One hand on her shoulder gently guides her away as he tags himself in with a small nod of 'I've got this'.

He swallows obviously but calls out in an even voice, Hello? We just want to talk, please. We have some information that you might want to hear, but I don't think we should shout it to the whole street. He seems uncertain about having spoken up, but remains standing straight and looking expectantly up.

Mina, who had turned back to the group with desperate eyes, looks visibly relieved as Ultime steps to the plate. This whole situation is such a nightmare for her....
OOC:
I might be a little less active over this holiday weekend. I'll post when I can!

Oh, and greetings @Quietpanther! Nice to have you join us!

yes, welcome to our little sleuthing adventure.
Aizashi stays back q little to ensure that he doesn't unsettle the woman unnecessarily.

Silence is all the response you get for several moments. Then you hear someone shift, moving closer to the window. Here is fine. Decent folks don't hide from their neighbors or cause trouble with the priest. I am a decent woman and will not be letting strangers into my home.

Besides, it's not like there's that many people around. Say your peace and be off with yourselves.


Looking around you can tell that what she said is true. The back of the building where you stand has a small garden with a few trees. Past that there is just a small field then woods.

Mina whispers to Ultime: "Maybe tell her I rescued Hany, and we need to talk to the mayor about what we learned from the child? And it's an urgent matter of public safety...?"
Mar 30, 2024 7:12 pm
While Mina is talking to Ultime, Aizashi steps forward addressing the woman, Please, you have seen me with the children before, have you not? You might also know that Gorman and I have helped to provide food at the inn. It is a serious matter we need to discuss. It's about all the missing children, we would ask for your help.
OOC:
I'm assuming that a persuasion roll would be at a disadvantage, considering the situation?

Rolls

Persuasion - (1d6)

(5) = 5

OOC:
So, does that Persuasion roll mean she’ll come down? Ultime can also shout at the window, just lemme know what the result is.

OOC:
well in theory the roll was a success, but in the end it's up to Psybermagi, how the NPC reacts I suppose🤷🏼‍♂️😁

If you are not sure about advantage/disadvantage just roll the max # dice you think may be applicable. I will let you know how many I am using and why. The advantage of electronic Dice is there is a 1st,2nd,3rd so this is easier than at the table

There is another pause then you see the lady peeking down at you and talking softly. She seems both apologetic and frightened or nervous as she replies I don't know what happened but you got Priest Marvin upset so the whole village is going to want you gone soon. I cant let you in, just be quick and quiet. That's the best I can offer.

Mina squeezes her eyes shut and clenches her fists. She takes a deep breath to gather her courage, then her head shoots up. Ma'am.. Please... I rescued one of the missing children this morning -- little Hany -- and I discovered that two people had been putting enchantments on her... two people at odds with one another. The children of this town are not safe. Not your little girl, nor her friends. They will continue to be abused or disappear until-- until the ones responsible are s-stopped. We have our suspicions about who is responsible, but we need to speak with the mayor about it... in private.
OOC:
I'm rolling 2d6 for persuasion because I mentioned the safety of her daughter.
OOC:
.... What good that did me!

OOC:
if you were thinking about rolling with advantage because of the statement, that would be 3d6, I rolled 1d6 because I figured I would roll with disadvantage, but I could be wrong :)

OOC:
I figured the advantage and disadvantage may have cancelled one another out to it just being a normal roll. I guess I'll roll again here just in case I'm wrong.

that looks better :)
Then we just have to hope that we were right about rolling with advantage
