So, Wola is currently very suspicious of the rangers; she suspects that they might be exploiting/controlling the villages somehow. Should I roll a new insight check to see if I get any information on that, or will the old one carry over? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old insight check lets you be rather certain they're lying and not telling you everything. If you want more specific details, yeah, new check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative_Null Posted January 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 The bartender is even more anxious now, and keep shooting glances at your table, especially the two rangers. Caira may or may not have expressly intimidated him, but she certainly didn't allay his concerns. In fact, no one in the tavern is looking at your table, and the normally jovial sounds of men off work are much quieter than when you came in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wola looks around the room, taking in the strained atmosphere. "Right. Yes. This conversation is truly riveting, and I would be delighted to continue it. However, I'm suddenly feeling extremely dehydrated. My throat has become dry from all of the travelling I've been doing. Yes. And because of . . . how excited I am to be of assistance with your monster problem, of course. Excitement is often a contributor to a sudden need for liquid refreshment, yes? I am going to go and place a request for a beverage, and you can continue to explain the situation to Mr. Usavi exactly as you had been before. Indeed." As she blunders through this speech, Kodwola carefully stands and begins to slowly edge backwards toward the bar. In case you couldn't tell from that performance, I rolled a 4, for a total of 2, on a deception roll.

Then she turns and heads to the bar, climbing up a chair so she can whisper to the barkeeper. "Listen, I don't know what Mr. Eben just said to you, but I apologize for inadvertently exposing your concerns. It's now relatively obvious that those two 'adventurers' over there are not all that they wish to seem. I would be very grateful if you would be willing to tell me what their true function in this town is. I shall do my best, as an adventurer myself, to shield you from the negative repercussions of such." Do you need persuasion?
