Nope, Rope of Climbing here.

OOC:
Still good, we should have use for a rope with all the spelunking.

OOC:
ya the rope is gona come in handy for my none dexterous ass. So what does the elf cloak do exactly?

OOC:
It works really well for Stealth. Advantage on stealth, Disadvantage on being seen. You pull the hood up to get it to work kind of like the thief in the old D&D cartoon

OOC:
For you Cemos, since your armor already puts you at a disadvantage on Stealth checks, this cloak will offset that and let you make stealth checks when you attempt to hid with neither advantage OR disadvantage. The other side (disadvantage on Perception checks to spot you) works as normal.
As your raft makes its way closer to the other, you do manage to identify the other travellers as Duergar. However, those of you familiar with the other race recognize that these are not normal as they have no slave pens or anything on their craft. As you come alongside, one of them waves over to you.

Well met travellers! Stenneth Rockchip here! My compatriots and I are traders travelling the Mikanus River. If you have needs, we may have goods! Need you to trade? the stoutest of the passengers calls out, waving a hand over his head.

Does he seem scincere?

Also I look more closely at their craft for hidden surprises.

Rolls

Insight check - (1d20+3)

(9) + 3 = 12

Perception check - (1d20+3)

(2) + 3 = 5

The craft is simple enough. Not a raft like yours, this is closer to a proper boat. It has low sides and a small enclosure at the rear. Nothing in his manner seems suspicious. Those of you that have dealt with travelling traders in the past are not surprised by the approach or the interaction.

goblet, better make yourself scarce. Don't know own what these guys are all about and they may not take kindly to you. I'd say flatten yourself out and hide along the opposite side of or boat.

Cemos wispers to eldreth and George. stand at the ready but make no moves of aggression unless they strike first.and eldreth....keep an eye on stool
OOC:
cemos being obviously untrusting of them

OOC:
Is this a new day? Do we have all our spell slots and such?
Jan 2, 2017 1:46 am
OOC:
Yeah, you are all fully ready to go.

OOC:
are we thinking we offload some of our extra armor and weapons for rations and health pots?
Jan 2, 2017 4:47 pm
OOC:
cemos would be suspicious of any food or drink we got from them.
Jan 2, 2017 4:49 pm
OOC:
We could always use some extra food, would free up Fang to use his magics on stuff other then Goodberries. Also who knows what they have, we actually have some coin.
Jan 2, 2017 5:25 pm
No real specialty, general provisions and the like. Unfortunately, we're a little light at the moment. We're headed down river to pick up more supplies. Though we do have a fair amount of coin, so if you have any goods you're wanting to part with, we'll pay you good rates! He says with a kind smile.
OOC:
They have a total of 90 gp worth of adventuring gear (no single item more than 15 gp). Additionally, they have ~40 rations. Anything you look to sell them will start off at 50% of the list price. You can attempt a Diplomacy check to get a better deal.

"Why don't we get some fresh, non fish rations ?"

Dustin is willing to trade things they don't need.

"So what can you tell us about things upriver ? Run into anything interesting ?" he asks the dueregar.
Jan 2, 2017 5:44 pm
OOC:
They came from the same direction you did. You're essentially just passing them.
Jan 2, 2017 9:01 pm
Cemos perks up a bit. you wouldn't happen to have a new set of armor?
