I return to this...this...insurrection!

Ahh I need to check in here more often lol. I'm so used to discord.

That is literally Reyvadin’s plan to take back his kingdom. You don’t think he’s going to March up there without an army right?

@Lucius Cypher

I figured it was more of a 'get rich and buy a bunch of mercs' plan.

Maybe a 'return and request an honorable duel for control of the kingdom' plan.

I return to this...this...insurrection!

Ok, the last few days have been extra busy. Friday post for sure!

[DELETED32084]

@POOHEAD189my laptop is quite literately dead. I have ordered a new one due in the next 7-14 days and then and I shall post!

Now that has thoroughly derailed for me... I hoped that writing 'but it dawned upon him that he'd have to recite it far away from the others' would be enough of a hint that Lorcan would not be so stupid to blast it out in front of everyone right away, but merely think of it or at least wait until he'd be out of immediate acoustic range.

Now see what has happened. He's absolutely screwed now

@Fetzen

Oh, I did not know you meant away from everyone! Just the group. There's be no way he could recite something without being heard by someone since the road was filled with people. But if he was just thinking to himself then I can edit, friend!

[Fetzen]

I meant just away from the group :) Your post gave the impression to me that you assumed he'd be in listening range to the others, or is it me who's mistaken ?

[Lauder]

Oh lord Lorcan, please no make guards angry

[Fetzen]

As long as the guards don't attack us, something I clearly can't see any reason for given that Lorcan has only tried to talk to them, we get at least some entertainment for our money.

Also: What would an alternative route have been to 'help them out' ? Would it have been better ?

I'm sorry that my post was doomed to end in failure from the very beginning as I saw that '1' from the guild's dice roller :/

[Greenie]

To be fair though :'D it would make sense for persuasion not to work if they're pig headed greedy guards

Does anybody know how frustrating it is to have to try and wrap such bad rolls into posts that make sense somehow ? [/hider]

If its any consolation I was thinking that lecturing guards about tax policy and casting suspicion on other members of the group was a strange tactic before I saw the roll :P

[Fetzen]

I had settled for what to try in the post before either writing it down or doing the roll. Then I wrote the post after the roll, not before. So I knew I had to come up with something that would not be very well suited for success. That's why I wrote that comment in the first place. Basically Lorcan is bursting in shit talk.

And like said, so far noone has presented any better alternative :P

Also... Lorcan is convinced about what he says. For him the guard's whole approach is just so horribly superficial it's screaming in his face to be addressed.

[DrRtron]

@Fetzen

In Faeril's eyes, yes. Most of us are dressed in literal bandit clothing that probably has bloodstains on it, and we're armed.

Not that Faeril wants to pay, and he had high hopes for Lorcan's excessive talking when he first started. Then, well, the one happened.

[Fetzen]

If it's about bandit clothing and blood stains it would have been logical to inspect everyone obviously associated with those wearing those items, the whole party so to speak :P

[POOHEAD189]

Honestly I rolled for everyone to see who would go in without being stopped, but it turned out to be every guy taller than 6 feet. And Faeril.

[Fetzen]

Lorcan feels like a total loss anyway at this point

@Fetzen

Hey, there's a reason this isn't in the tabletop section! If you write something logical but roll poorly, I'll still lean toward the logical aspect :)

[Lauder]

It seems fairly obvious that these guys are doing that trick from Riften since only but a couple were stopped and not the whole group. They just want their silver.

I think the con-artist may know a con when sees one!

@Lauder

They obviously know better than to try to play a player!
