The rangers aren't leaving yet, now they turn their attention to Usavi. "And what about you, my friend?"

"Um, I'm sure we would love your help, although I don't know how we deserve it."

"I don't know, girl, you're making me suspicious." 

 

I snort. "What, you expect me to mug random people? What do you take me for, a common thief? I recently left home to become an actor." I groan inwardly. That wasn't my best lie, although I am good at acting.

I rolled for Deception. I rolled a 1, and got 5 in total.

Kodwola watches them for a moment, nervousness abating as the rangers shift their gaze. 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? If so, I rolled a 9.

"Later." The word comes out as barely a whisper, as he polishes the same glass for the fifth time.

"You don't deserve it. But I am nice enough to grant my help. Now, What am I doing?"

The mayor, although confused, is taking this in stride. "Well, it's possible we could use some support from the crown. There has been banditry and the occasional monster around here. If you have a garrison of guards, even, that could be very helpful in helping us keep the peace around here."

The other man growls. "If you'll excuse me, mi'lord, we are in the middle of something."

Roll either perception or insight

I rolled a six either way

"I will take care of these bandits and monsters for 3/4th's the price you would pay a normal group. Thank you for hiring me, I will be back with their heads." Lander spins to walk out

I gape at the man. "What?! Why?"

Lander leaves the Town hall and sees Nala being confronted by a guard.

I rolled an 11 on perception, but since she was right outside the town hall, I think it wouldn't be hard to spot.

He looks down and covers his head with his hood and wraps his cloak around his body. Shifting his face and body to match that of the mayor. "What are you doing!!!" Vito asks in the voice of the mayor. Vito, previously Lander, throws his hands in the air and moves his hood back. "Can't you see this is an innocent human? Leave her be"

you read that right.

"Excellent. So, about payment... Are there any alternate options other than coin? It's useful out here, sure, but perhaps a magic item would be more so?"

I look at the new arrival with confusion. I have never been so grateful for a random stranger in my life.

I don't think I need an insight check to tell that this guy is scared, but I got a 21 if that gives me any more information. 

Kodwola nodded. "Of course. If I may request a liquid refreshment, in addition, I must maintain that pretense for the others in the room." She sets some silver on the bar - deliberately too much for the price of the drink.

"Um... sorry sir."

Roll Deception, although I'm sure you'll roll a 28 or something

"I'm sure something could be arranged if we find one. Caira, didn't we find some kind of relic the other month?"

"You mean the sword that drained your life energy?"

"Yeah, that one"

On a 21, you can tell he's not trying to trick you, at the very least. He's earnest.

He nods. "Of course." He gets you a drink and pockets the money. He goes to get you some change, but looks at you expectantly.

Roll Deception, although I'm sure you'll roll a 28 or something

sadly, a mere 17. As long as I don't roll a one, I have a guaranteed 10 or greater.

"I should have you punished for this! for what reason could you have possibly done such an outrageous thing!"

He turns to Nala, "Are you alright?"

If you want another deception, I got a 14

"Well... it wasn't that interesting. It drained the life energy of whoever held it. Maybe it has some kind of beneficial effect, but we didn't test it long enough to find out."

He doesn't back down, but walks away
