Apolyton DnD - MidNight Hunt - Jon Miller

[The Mad Monk]

Morganna studies the urchins for a while, and selects a "likely - looking" one (bright, not too shifty), and flashes a copper at him. When he comes over, she slips him the copper and says, "We're looking for a place to eat -- cheap, but good"

[Harry Seldon]

Bandar struts over to the young dwarf. "M' boy, give me one o' your kabobs while I tell you about why today's yer lucky day..."

Bandar tosses him two coppers and procedes to explain how he single-handedly saved the dwarven race from destruction on numerous occassions.

"...and so now you can tell all yer friends that you've met Bandar the Dwarf! Good luck t' ya!"

Bandar wanders back to the group with what's left of his kabob.

[Hot Mustard]

Rags sidles over to Bandar and makes some small talk. Then he heads over to the young kabob-selling dwarf himself.

"Sir Bandar has sent me to fetch him another kabob. A second one is only 1 copper, right?", says Rags, playing the part of a gopher for a mighty warrior.

[Jon Miller]

(unmodified 14 on the bluff/intimidate) "uh, uh, yah sure," says the Urchin. "Morganna meanwhile finds an out of the way place that serves fried fish. It is delicious and is 2 copper a peice (you get a lot more food than a kabob).

(BTW, Felch is moving so Ostler is elsewhere right now (maybe at the Bard College, maybe chasing his own leads))

[Harry Seldon]

Alright, where should we go next? We need better information than this.

[The Mad Monk]

Morganna treats the urchin to the fish, throws in a couple extra coppers, and gets his name.

[OOC]I'm trying to cultivate an information source / occasional lackey here, perhaps not for this adventure, but over the long term.[/OOC]

[Jon Miller]

(I would assume that those of you who are good with information (or Felch) would continue to look for some afterlunch)

[Hot Mustard]

[OOC]I was hoping Bandar might point out someone who gave him some information before, that Rags might question them further.

If not, yes, he'll ask appropriate-looking characters about the underground city and bazaar, trying to get safe and accurate directions and entry instructions.[/OOC]

Yes.

I don't just ask people. If I notice 'shady' people talking and am in a spot where they won't notice me easily, I use "read lips" on them. I use "sense intent" as a gut reaction on truthfulness on those I do speak with, though I don't discount any of it.

Since I'm new around here and still feeling out the social structure, I try not to intimidate anyone.

[Jon Miller]

I will take it that yuo are both using all your skills to gather information

Moganna gets a 12 (11+1)
Rags gets a 19 (14+5)

Rags finds a shady character who is willing to sell a map of a way to skullport for 3 sp

apparently (this is sometihng both of you have heard) the way is dangerous and there are many traps set by thieves (As well as the theives themselves)

both of you also hear of entrances, there is one at the "Red Inn" in the basement (there are also others, that you heard rumors about, just both of you heard about this one)

Jon Miller

[Hot Mustard]

Rags shows everyone the map and shares his information.

"Should we scout the layout of the Red Inn today, or just show up tonight?", Rags asks everyone.

[OOC]
Sorry for the brief absence - (house-sitting last week and the power outage). Internet connection is a bit intermittent still, but should be okay.

(I assume that you decreased your sp to cover the cost than? I want youguys to take care of that

also, you can do your own rolls for the most part, try http://javascript.internet.com/games/dice-roller.html

and put down the roll plus your rank and attribute (And feat) modifiers (I will handle the rest)

also yuo can speak for minor NPCs so as to speed play and roleplaying)

Tarna who had been asking arround (6) shows up, " I haven't heard anything at all, except that the olives see, to be particularly good this year. Oh, a map huh? does it show where the Theives Brazaar is or only how to get to Skullport?"

[OOC]
RE: Silver, rolls, and NPCs - noted. Just go back and edit our character sheet posts then?
[/OOC]

"Olives? Yum. Just how to get there, but then we should be able to ask around for the Bazaar, or it might be very obvious once we get there.

I am going to head over to the Red Inn now - might as well make ourselves part of the scenery earlier rather than later. Then we might not arouse suspicion when we start looking for the entrance. Who's up for a drink?"

[Jon Miller]

Tarna motions that she is up for one.

(there was the shole issue with the server and I think that maybe the others lost this thread, I will try PMing them)
