[OOC] Lost Mine Of Phandelver (D&D 5e) (CLOSED)

[Necroes]

Got a 13 to insight Nethruel. @Dark Cloud Should that be an opposed roll-off?

Tibor may not know much about arcane magic, but he's decent at spotting bullshit.

[Cu Chulainn]

Feels like a pretty baseless attempt at an Insight check, to be honest. Being wise doesn't necessarily mean being able to detect the slightest lie from everyone. I tend to be against rolling between players, and this has little justification to begin with, given everyone's apparent knowledge on arcane magic

[Necroes]

@Cu ChulainnHe's outright lying. No need for justification, insight is all about reading people's faces. And when it comes to bluffing, I'm all for rolls between players, because you can't justify calling someone on having a bad poker face at the table.

@Necroes

What reason would Tibor have to suspect Neth would be lying? Neth has not spoken since you've met and Gundren didn't mind either. Tibor has travelled with the wagon as long as Neth and so far I didn't think he'd have any reason to mistrust Neth? I'm sorry but I don't see how it's justified, could you give me a reason?

[Cu Chulainn]

It just feels metagamey to jump at me lying when there's little justification towards it other than the fact I was writing that I was in-character. Anyway, we already discussed this on Chatzy, just adding this input here for our GM to see.

[Necroes]

@Dark Cloud I'm in the chatzy. Jump in there, and we can talk it out.

[Necroes]

Tibor believes Neth. He doesn't suspect him of lying about anything.

In Light Of Recent Developments

New House Rule:

• Passive Deception: As a preface this rule only involves player character interactions, so in the case where a character is "lying" but not actively doing so, the characters will use Passive Insight Vs. Passive Deception which is 10+AB MOD+PROF BONUS (If your proficient in Deception/Insight) This is so people not actively hiding the truth are not forced to roll a dice if they don't want to do. If you are actively lying than you will roll and vice-versa.

[Dark Cloud]

I believe this new rule is fair & balanced. I also did a bit of side research and after awhile I was brought to the conclusion that it would give everyone an option on this matter.

Thank you so much for your patience!

[Necroes]

I won't lie, I'm a little interested to see some of the others respond to how Tibor handled the dying ally.

Speaking of; Anyone want some chainmail?

@Dark Cloud Is it okay if I add the six gold to my CS? Also, you mentioned before my story brought honor to my clan. Do I get inspiration for that?

[Dark Cloud]

@Necroes Well it depends on everyones reaction to you looting Ironhearts corpse. And no inspiration.

@Dark Cloud

Ah, darn... Whelp, there're more stories where that came from.

@Necroes

I think Alandra will be a little too preoccupied taking out her shovel and burying the body.

Or not, lmao, I just noticed we are doing a more fiery funeral rites. Works for me. I will have her catch the hammer and place it in the wagon, though.

[Necroes]

Well, that's the two pragmatic individuals out of the way. Now for the ones who were in the 'splash zone.' Emotionally, but also very likely literally.

@Necroes

Alandra, while a morally good character was sort of raised by a decidedly chaotic neutral hiresword. She feels for the loss of life, moreso when she has a connection with them, but she will not pretend to be shocked by death or clerics who lack a bedside manner.

[Necroes]

@TGM As I said; Pragmatic.

@Kassarock

Oh, I'm really looking forward to Azra's response to all this.

[Dark Cloud]

@Kassarock

Same.

[Kassarock]

@Dark Cloud Hey DM, I would like to swipe the other half of Ironheart's coin, discretely if possible.

When all that's done I would also like to light the funeral pyre using create bonfire.

[Dark Cloud]

@Kassarock That is fine, first you'll need to gather something flammable as Ironheart is wearing chainmail. Either wait for someone to remove his armor or gather up some sticks.

And are you actively trying to swipe the coin, therefore wanting to roll vs perception against slight of hand?
