@Guardian Angel Haruki Would a 20 also be high enough to sus out any of the half-orcs characteristics? His personality traits, ideals, bonds, flaws? Anything that could be touched on to make the guy more agreeable if not outright friendly to us?
Hmmm...
I would say with a 20, you can pick 2 out of those four. Which ones do you want to know?
Also, is he currently hostile to us or is he just indifferent?
Ooh! Good insight roll!
Right now, he is indifferent to you guys.
Bartholomew gets the impression that while his attire suggests 'pirate', he is giving off more of a 'bouncer' or 'bodyguard' vibe with how he's staring at you guys.
He's ready to act if you guys try to do anything to Marbess.
Marbess nodded and agreed, "Y-Yes. Of course. It would be a great idea to get you out of here!" He seems to look a little hesitant as he adds, "It's just...it was a bit of a trek to get here and..."
"Hey! Old Timer! Who are ya talking to?"
Another figure walks in. This figure is a half orc and his attire seems more reminiscent of a pirate or a bandit. He wears a red bandana around his forehead, while the rest of his attire seems to be just black or generally dark colors. He looks to all of you and he asks Marbess,
"...Who're they? They giving ya problems, Old Timer?" He draws out a scimitar as though ready for a fight.
Marbess quickly answers, "No! Nonononono! They're not causing problems! I found them here. They're harmless!"
".......Looks like I'll need to call Lyd...."
"Eep!" Marbess let out that small scared squeak at the mention of Lyd.
Grace glowered at Mitra's guess that he had simply offended her to earn her ire, and she shook her head. When he suggested discussing it another time, she agreed, "Like I said before: Later,"
She then turned her attention to Kendra when she explained that she wanted Grace to do the usual ghostly stuff. Grace's smile widened as an idea came to her. She answered Kendra "I have some ideas on how to pull off some ghostly theatrics without endangering myself,"
She then told the both of them, "I'll go on ahead. This dance studio's missing something important,"
She grins again and finishes with the word, "Music," before she vanishes, allowing her manifestation to fade.
She phased through the walls of the studio, and made her way over to the old stereo system that played music. She allowed herself to manifest once again, this time so that she could touch and be heard, but remain unseen. She turns on the stereo and presses play, causing the dance studio to echo with the distorted soundtrack of...
The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite...
Grace nodded in approval as the once innocuous song is made creepier by the distortion of the old stereo. After that, she allows her manifestation to fade once again should Abberline come and investigate.
Let me know if I need to roll anything for this. ^^"
When Kyte thanked her, Echo glowed in pride, and Fellwing praised her efforts, Stargaze's tail wagged rapidly at joy. She was glad that her attempt to heal Kyte worked.
She answered Kyte's thanks, "I'm glad I could help!"
She then looked to Fellwing and Skeboloff, about to speak, but she stopped herself. Her tail stopped wagging when she noticed Fellwing seemed to be in a trance. She asked in concern, "Fellwing?"
Then her friend started to scream!
"FELLWING!" Stargaze called in worry as she hurried to her friend. Fellwing would see Stargaze's face in front of hers when coming out of the trance.
"Fellwing?! What's wrong?!"
She listened as Fellwing told them everything she saw. She was about to agree about hurrying and leaving to go find the captive dragons. But she was surprised to hear Fellwing say that she should stay here.
She spoke to Fellwing, "Fellwing. I...think you should come with us,"
She reassured Fellwing, "I know you're scared. But we're stronger together. We can help you through this and handle this. Plus, Skobeloff did mention that it targets dragons who are alone,"
The elderly innkeeper tilts her head at Gabriel as he spoke about how he appreciated the finer things in life. She answered his introduction with her own, "My name is Tsu Harabax. Nice to meet you,"
The innkeeper looks to Brutrumukk when he mentioned murdering the beer thief, and asked his two questions. She answered him, "There's a rope outside to tie vehicles to the building. You can use that. As for payment? Any old trinket would normally do. But if you're going after Bavlorna Blightstraw?"
Once again, she takes a moment to spit off to the side after saying her name, before she finishes, "I'll consider that recompense enough,"
