{{One time when doing a cross-country hike, I became known as "The Canadian who comes late" because I always showed up at the hostels after everyone else had already arrived.{{Something I have to remember to get you all to give me is your marching order, so who's in front/back of the party as you travel, etc. Not too important right now, but it will be in the future as you're traveling around more.}}
{{ @Jawneh, roll a charisma check as a saving-throw. }}Woah, whatever that is, I just need to know. I bet there's some gnarly Gods worshipped in that temple. Hey, big green fella, carry me to the top of that mountain. It'll work your muscles. And considering you almost lost a battle to a rotting corpse, I think you need the training.
{{Big half-orc, long legs, leave everyone in the dust. Plus Aims is always heading into it all head first!}}Something I have to remember to get you all to give me is your marching order
{{Alright, I'm always up for a little hilarity. Rolling again to see if I can persuade you to pay me to carry me to the top of the mountain{{Similarly to me, you'd have to first roll a charisma save against my.... weak attempt to extort you before even attempting to turn it around. I believe from there you'd basically have to crit persuade me to counter act my initial save to do that. Ben can correct me if I'm wrong about that. That is if we want to keep leaving it to the powers of the dice.
But I'm willing to go down further this... rabbit hole if Ben lets us gamble on your lucky trait until the next short rest if I lose. Since you did say it is lucky lol. }}
You're carrying around a member 3 times bigger than what you're used to. Now how about we try to figure out anything special about this place instead.Aims waits expectantly.
Figure anything out lads? It seemed like you gleamed something out of it druid. Is it something special after all?
{{I'm good to march on. Can't wait to level up and get more goodies. At least for the first few, every level is bigger than thr previous one for me. }}
{{Roll a religion check, then we'll see if you do.You're carrying around a member 3 times bigger than what you're used to. Now how about we try to figure out anything special about this place instead.
Short Order does a better job figuring out what this statue is about
Aims is shocked and aghast!You're carrying around a member 3 times bigger than what you're used to.
You can almost hear the tiny cogwheels grind in Aims' head, trying to balance his orcish pride and honor, monetary gains or losses, and potential luck of a halfling.{{Alright, I'm always up for a little hilarity. Rolling again to see if I can persuade you to pay me to carry me to the top of the mountain}}
{{I'd put the odds somewhere between 0-100%}}{{we have a couple people who don't have much hp, what are the chances we'll be attacked from either the front or back?}}
.... Smash? HEEELLLLLSSSS YEAAAHHHHH!if you'd all like the people who can think to survive this quest, I'm thinking we should be ready for an up front assault as well as an ambush from behind. You all can continue to smash things more quickly if you're closer to them when they get to us.
You squint your eyes at the statue as you draw closer to the temple. You try to recall all of your time at the monastery, studying various religions and their deities. Skirting past the plentiful memories of emptying wooden kegs and then smashing them against your forehead, the faintest of familiarity finds you.{{This is hilarious.Getting a strong buddy cop movie vibe.
I can take mid point in the order, so I can help both towards the front and back.}}
Oh, tha's a mighty impressive looking temple! Nac says as the group ambles up the path.
Nac looks at the statue to see if he can discern who is depicted.
{{@Ben religion check?}}
{{Edit: well, shit. The check'll probably come back as "It's some dude."}}
You squint your eyes at Nac, letting out a small sigh at the potential blasphemy the sot speaks.You're carrying around a member 3 times bigger than what you're used to. Now how about we try to figure out anything special about this place instead.

Smash this instead Moonsprout says, and reaches over the orc's shoulder and hands him a pipe with its bowl packed full of Saltbloom.Aims is visibly slightly shaking as he sees a small horde of kobolts appear in front of them. They seem to be asking questions, but the bombardment has left his mind overloaded all of a sudden. He slowly turns his head back towards the rest of the group and quietly mutters:
Aims.... smash?
Zesty eyes Aims'Orreh, standing slightly before him, hoping he does not rush to combat the small creatures just yet. Zesty steps up slightly, but keeping enough distance so as to not appear threatening to the kobolds. Zesty attempts to communicate with the kobolds in an effort to understand their surroundings a little more.
My name is Zesty. Me and my companions are coming upon the area in search of knowledge. Might you tell me your name and what is this place and its purpose?
Zesty innocently eyes the nearest kobold, that appeared to ask the party for their name, as there is no clear indication of which kobold could be considered, the "leader."
Zesty tries to communicate with the kobold and tries to learn the creature's name (of the one that asked for names) and information regarding the place they now stand.
{{Persuasion check I assume? If not, just change the modifier.}}
Zesty also eyes the surroundings to see if any pertinent information stands out to him.
{{I'd like to run perception and investigation checks for the immediate area.}}
Friends, I am Short Order. We are here to learn the history of these lands and see what wonders it might have to offer. We're looking to just continue through to the temple with no troubles, in the name of Bahamut. Can you see us through?
Short Order investigates to see if there are any traps, while trying to persuade the creatures to do no harm.
{{Rolls to see if he should roll}}{{Just an FYI. We don't necessarily need to roll for everything we do. We can just ask things and question things and do some things without throwing the dice right away. Ben should make sure there's some hints and guidance here or there if we can do something more with specific things. We can then see what more there is to it. At worst, if we come out the gate and land poor rolls or crit fails, we might possibly get shut out from more info, goodies, requests, or whatever there is.
But rolling dice is also freaking fun so... I'd be guilty doing it all the time. I'd actually like to open this to @Ben to get his couple cents on this. Any preferences on either way I described? Full dice, no dice, hold the dice until the second half?
Also while I'm at it, I was also wondering if you mind us resolving some of the goofy things ourselves even if we're rolling. It would still fall under your purview as the DM to do that. I'd just like to know if that is something you might enjoy doing so that we can leave it for you to do your magic with instead stepping on your toes.}}
Ohh, smash...Smash this instead Moonsprout says, and reaches over the orc's shoulder and hands him a pipe with its bowl packed full of Saltbloom.
This should mellow you out a bit.
{{omg I'm dead
"Why's that guy holding a cock knife?!"
{{Also, this is more than I'm doing}}Please don't tell my boss that I'm only wiggling my work-mouse every now and then.}}
{{Where's our d100 to try to roll for 69?!}}{{Rolls to see if he should roll}}
{{I'm fine with being a bit more flexible on this for the sake of role playing. And yeah, not everything is going to require a skill check, generally just anything that's not trivial to accomplish, or if you're trying to resist being affected by something else.{{Just an FYI.

Aims immediately perks up.Might there be a chance of getting some ale anywhere nearby?
After assessing the surroundings and getting no feeling of immediate threat from the creatures, Zesty turns his attention back to the one called "Frub." He is mindful of the humans, however, as even though they appear weaponless and ragged, they seem to be battle hardened at the least."
Hello, Frub. I see six doorways here. Could you tell me where these lead? What about the bronze dragon statue here? What is it's purpose?
![]() | "Those be quarters, but most us kobolds share just two rooms. With many hammocks! Frub on top!" Frub says as he grin widely. |
Zesty first addresses the winged kobold...
Might I ask you these questions instead? You and your partner appear to be the elders of the group?
Finally, he addressed the man and woman in the back...
How about you humans as well? You seem to have had a journey yourself. You stand out among these creatures. How do you fit in this story?
![]() | "...Do not cause trouble here, this is a place of reflection." her tone comes clipped and to the point. She does not offer her name. |
![]() | "Hello, travelers. Welcome to Dragon's Rest." she says in a calm tone, "May Bahamut's guidance lead you to whatever you seek." |
Oh grower of herbs, surely you would be willing to part with some of your produce. Are any for sale? For trade? Has the dick dagger caught your eye?I grow most of the herbs and plants around here, with some of the kobold's help."
