Happy Funtime Friend Adventures, Thursday
The tavern seemed perfectly normal this time around, no weird traps or anything like that. Which could be considered suspicious if one was prone to thinking that way.
"Today we're gonna talk about diplomacy in the pursuit of getting your way," Magnus announced.
Were those the cries of an angry rogue archeologist in the distance? Possibly. She should have locked up those class ideas better to keep these bozos out.
"After all, sometimes it's more effective to imply potential violence than to actually commit it." No prizes for guessing where Cara fell on the persuade/intimidate spectrum.
"Intimidation check," Magnus supplied helpfully. "Or you could rely on charisma. Which is way, way more difficult. For me. And her."
Cara could be charismatic when she wanted to...which was pretty much never. "So why waste the effort when it's easier to do what you're good at?" Because most people didn't have a +5 to scary, Cara.
"So, today you're gonna test out your skills on the bartender!" A gruff NPC with a heart of gold, no doubt.
Or electronic Tino, it really depended on who programmed them.
