Turn 4 - Staring Contest? O_oAsonn : You continue your line of questioning. GERALD THE KENNELMASTER responds to your questions in the ROUNDABOUT FASHION and SLURRED DIALECT that people use as they become increasingly drunk, which would be both tedious to transcribe and frustrating to read. Some VALUABLE DATA is gathered regarding the PROSPECTIVE MISSION:
The pups were stolen two nights ago.
He sent his apprentice to follow the trail from the kennels NORTH, through WOODTREE FOREST, yesterday morning. The trail was OBVIOUS, likely made by several individuals unskilled at THE ART OF BANDITRY.
Two litters of pups were stolen, 7 babies and 5 half-grown.
Susan : You inquire regarding the possibility of a BATTLE CANINE possessing the GIFT OF SPEECH.
"Ahawhaw!" GERALD laughs
"Kids."Darrell : You glare at Susan's apparent CHILDISH NAIVETY and unwittingly initiate a NO HOLDS BARRED impromptu STARING CONTEST.
Darrell (1d10 + 3) = 13 Susan (1d10 + 6) = 12The SHEER INHUMAN INTENSITY of your glare breaks Susan's resolve, and she eventually looks away. Tonight, victory is yours.
Daniel : You attempt to join in the STARING CONTEST at the last minute, but quickly realize that it's rather difficult to stare at two people at the same time, and in fact, nobody is looking at you.
Bartender : These goddamn kids and their SHENANIGANS, you're trying to run a business here.
THE WARDENS all quietly come to the conclusion that GERALD is becoming increasingly less helpful every time his glass is filled, and the trail, as OBVIOUS as it may it, is gradually becoming shrouded in the DARKNESS OF NIGHT. Barring any last minute preparations, you feel it time to take to THE FOREST.
