Adventures in Ptolus, City by the Spire (Inactive)

Game Master EltonJ

Tony hustled over to where the girl they were looking for was and examined how she was shackled.
"We're here to rescue you ma'am!" He said with a reassuring grin.
He unrolled his thieves tools and started probing the interior of the padlock.
Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Yep, Tony, you managed to unlock the padlock.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Curious if the Lizard is being deceptive.

"Well...show us to the entrance, fellow. Say, are you serving here of your free will? Or are you also enslaved?"

"I'm also enslaved," the lizard man says.

"And is that all you want to be? Someone who can't control his own life and deprives others of their freedom? Stand up! Join us. Help us lead these people to freedom and gain your own!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

Standard action to cast "Enhanced Diplomacy."

I know that Diplomacy usually takes 1 minute to make a check, and we don't have that much time here. Thought I would make a check just as guidance. He is already intimidated and therefore helpful. Maybe we can convince him to help us out.

If there are others shackled, he will unlock them also, one at a time.

The lizard man takes a moment to think about what you said, and then he shakes his head no.

If there are others shackled, he will unlock them also, one at a time.

There are seventeen other padlocks. You can take 10 to open all of them.

The lizard man takes a moment to think about what you said, and then he shakes his head no.

"So, what do you say? Why would you want to stay here?"

Mostly just making a joke here. He shook his head, I can't see him.

"It's my calling to guard this place," the lizard man hissed.

"That was the wrong thing to say!" Argennon looks down at the lizardman sternly. "Do you really wish to forfeit your life so others may be slaved?"
Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Tony moves from one shackle to the next, pacing himself taking 10 and unlocking slaves from their chains.

"That was the wrong thing to say!" Argennon looks down at the lizardman sternly. "Do you really wish to forfeit your life so others may be slaved?"

[dice=Bluff]1d20 + 9
[dice=Diplomacy]1d20 + 7

He puts his hands over his ear holes. "I'm not listening," he says.

Knowing Time is of the Essence, Argennon asks, "Can anyone else assist in unlocking these.." The Dallimothan noble stops his thought then looks down at the lizardman. "YOU! Do you have a key to these chains?!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The lizard man laughs at Argenon. "Of course not."

Tony looked at the lizard man.
"I've got the number on these locks, milord. We don't actually need him now." He said with his best sneer.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 to aid another (intimidate) for Argenon.

"You're all fools!" he zapps back. The lizard man tries to contort himself out of his bonds, but finds it difficult.

** spoiler omitted ** Argennon hisses deeply at the prone lizardman.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Lizard man will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

He blinks, but stays quiet.

"Will someone please help our swashbuckler in removing those chains, already!" Argennon blustered, trying to keep his draconic rage from building too much.
