Slink out of town
You slink out of town, but you make lots of racket on the way. Which way are you headed?

South, towards the fortress.
((Brave or rash? One of these...))

You head south under covered of night. It appears you're getting a bit of a head start, so you're going to be possibly a day ahead of everyone else...

((*rolls* oh boy...))

Three men stand in your way. Two are carrying axes and the other is carrying a bastard sword. "Well well... Someone who thinks they're better then the night? This road has a toll. 100 gold, turn back, or we take everything you own, you won't get a second chance if you turn back now. I remember faces well, and I can be damned sure I'm not going to forget YOUR ugly mug, halfling."

His two axe wielding men beat their shields a bit, as if asking for a challenge.

Run
The two brutes with axes give chase as you turn and run back to Crimmor. You barely managed to escape them. You're about 40ft away from Crimmor's south gate.

Eats with gusto
You eat the entire meal within seconds. Impressive!

Belches loudly, then looks slightly embarrassed. Excuse himself from the table and makes way to bed, forgoing further talk for sleep.

Raise an eyebrow as the dragonborn makes a whole plate of food disappear within seconds. It's not as messy as he thought it'd be. End up eating more sedately.

Petra returns from directing Nadarr to his bedroom, and shows you the way to the chamberpot. She leaves you to do your business.

((Found a better map. That court seems to be a very expensive tavern...))

((A word of advice, diplomacy checks CAN be ignored by players, like conversations in real life, but bluff cannot, which is the ability to lie.

Perception is to see things, insight is to see through things, like illusions and lies.

Streetwise is to find out information on towns and cities, history is to find out about almost anything, provided something has happened with it (ie. a dead religion, stories, legends, etc.)

Arcana is to find out something with magical origin (magical items, arcane monsters). Religion is the same except with divine origin (divine monsters, holy relics, etc.)

Theivery is to steal or plant something on someone (like pickpocket in skyrim). Stealth is your ability to move silently or become hidden (rogues will use these a lot for sneak attack).

Athletics is for climbing, running and swimming whereas acrobatics is jumping or balancing. Athletics is used for a running jump however.

Dungeoneering is pretty much the common sense check for dungeon checks. It is never a be all end all check, but if arcana/perception checks fail, wouldn't hurt to do this. Nature is used for anything natural, such as skinning an animal, taming an animal/monster, or looking at "natural" creatures (likewise with arcana/religion checks on monsters of their respective origin)

Intimidate is used to attempt enemies to surrender, or simply to scare people. Endurance is, literally, the ability to endure. Hunger, thirst and treading water all take endurance checks, as well as naturally healing from diseases. Lastly, heal checks are used to heal someone else, other then yourself, from diseases, broken limbs, etc. (anything that doesn't get healed from an extended rest usually will require a heal check).

Knowing what skills can do what will allow you to enjoy roleplay and battles more.))

Wipes his mouth with his handkerchief each time he prepares to talk and starts doing so through it.

"So tell me a bit about yourself, Karl. Where do you hail from? What brings you to the lands of Crimmor?"

-skill reminders-
You know what's always a good skill to have when dealing with other PCs?

Use rope.

Karl politely wipes his mouth as well before replying to Aurel.

"I'm the third son of Baron Brandhart - you might not have heard of him, but our holdings are on the eastern border of the realm. My eldest brother was in Athkatla negotiating trade agreements when he ended up getting himself killed. When his escorts brought his body home for burial, we learned that his sword, a family heirloom had been stolen after his murder."

He pauses to take another few bites from his meal before wiping his mouth again.

"Geoffry, my older brother, had to remain home as he was now heir to Father's title. That left me to recover our heirloom. There's nothing magical to it, but generations of our ancestors have carried that blade into battle and it carries their honor with it.

It's taken a few months and dealing with more then my fare share of shady characters, but I finally tracked the blade's passage to Crimmor. I found the merchant who held it most recently and... persuaded him to return it to its rightful owners."


With a polite sip of his wine, Karl gestures to the fine dining room.

"What about you, Aurel? Have you always lived in this fine mansion?"

Everyone hears a loud crash in the other room where Petra brought Xeron to do his business. Petra can't help but laugh, cry or vomit from the color of her face and how her hand covered her mouth.

Belches loudly, then looks slightly embarrassed. Excuse himself from the table and makes way to bed, forgoing further talk for sleep.
You hear the crash and immediately wake up!

I immediately spring up, grab my flail and rush over to Petra. "What happened?"
