Chapter 1: In the Dungeon!

[shaidar]

Shmehk suggests that we try and get as close as we can with the disguises and then surprise them.

[ctcharger]

Fiapy:

"I saw we walk in like we own the place, by the time he figures out who we really are, we'll be on him before he can do anything or raise the alarm."

Fiapy is hungry but after seeing the butchers throw away room, his appetite is a bit attenuated...

[drpete]

You head into the kitchen...

A burning brazier of glowing coals both illuminates this small room and slowly broils skewers of succulent meats. A worktable littered with kitchen utensils, cutlery, and bowls, stands to one side. Travel-battered strongboxes are stored beneath it. A whip-thin, hairless man dresses in tight leather garments, tends to the two-foot-long skewers.

Ok, lets call it a DC 5 disguise check.

That's an untrained personality based skill check for the non thieves, so roll d10, and modify with personality... so Shmehk and Fiapy d10-1, and Dunulk d20-2.

[ctcharger]

Fiapy:

tries to look like he belongs....

DC5 disguise check [1d10-1] = 5-1 = 4

hmm, I don't think I will use luck on this roll, can I wait to see if I am the only person that doesn't make it?

[drpete]

Make the call, man... spend to give the plan a chance, or just own it totally failing with this guy

Keep in mind, it's fleeting luck that could vanish on one of your friend's rolls.

[ctcharger]

Fiapy:

is about to blow everyone's cover by saying hello in Northernese but actually sneezes due to something in the pot catching his nose before he does...he quickly turns away and covers his mouth and face as if grabbing for a hankerchief...
too close, that was lucky!

[drpete]

Is that a luck spend?

[shaidar]

Shmehk

disguise: [1d20] = 13

(added a +1 to cancel the -1 because skill checks are his Lucky Roll)

[NJWilliam]

Dunulk the Free

Dunulk becomes one with the disguise!

Disguise check: [1d20-2] = 20-2 = 18

[drpete]

The cook, apparently thinking you are some of the guards, barely looks over his shoulder at you. He pulls a skewer from the flames and slides some fresh meat onto a platter, and gives Dunulk a nod and a smile before turning back to his preparations.

Ah, cool! Dunulk, have a point of fleeting luck!

Shmehk, roll that with a d10, rather than a d20. If I halve your roll, it still passes, so we'll call that ok.

[shaidar]

Are there any other exits from this room?

[drpete]

Nope, there are no exits from the kitchen, except the door got came through.

[shaidar]

Shmehk tries to quietly step up behind the man, draw his sword and place the point in the small of the mans back

He then addresses the man in Low Lankhmarese
"Hands out to the side and step slowly away from the brazier. Cry out or cause trouble and I won't hesitate to run you through"

[ctcharger]

Fiapy:

acting as lookout... afraid to say anything due to his lack of language skills..

[NJWilliam]

Dunulk the Free

Dunulk grabs some of the meat and looks about for a drink too, hoping the fare will help him regain some strength.

[ctcharger]

Fiapy:

Turns pale at the sight Dunulk eating the meat after what we just saw not that long ago...he looks away...

[drpete]

The cook turns around slowly, obeying Shmehk's command.

As Dunulk takes the food, the man says, in Low Lankhmarese:
"I am just the cook. I know nothing..."

Seeing Dunulk take a bite, he offers "The food is safe. Please, partake...

[shaidar]

Shmehk

"After seeing what is in the lower rooms, and what our jailor was up to...I think not! You are going to guide us out of here. Any funny business and you will be the first to die."

[drpete]

The cook frowns at the insult to his food. "This beef is perfectly safe. And delicious!"

At Shmehk 's suggestion that he would lead them out, he shakes his head. "No. I can't do that... the exit is past too many guards. And... I am just the cook. I am not a good hostage. "

[shaidar]

Shmehk gives him a gentle poke with his sword (not enough to break the skin, just a reminder).

"What is this place and exactly where is the exit?"
