Arlo gets down to business charting this area, including counting paces between trees and other nearby features, making notes on any observations, and writing love-lorn poetry about the roast chicken back on the boat, which he shares later with Zoosh and Zonk, his goblin friends. scribing: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Arlo rubs his chin as he considers the women's claim about Pathfinders. Calmly, he responds: "My dear madame, it seems we have a difference of opinion on this matter! I think my organization has done many things for this world, and I would say we have done much more quietly than perhaps you think we have!" Arlo sits down on a rock and continues. "Have you ever heard of the legend of 'The Mosquito Witch'? Let me tell you about my adventures in a little village called Shimmerford, and how we helped the villagers with a particularly stubborn infestation of mosquitoes...." Arlo goes on to tell her about his adventures there, and some of the people he met, and the mysteries that still remain.... Leaving information out of the story so as to not possibly spoil this adventure for anyone. The Mosquito Witch is possibly my favorite 2nd ed. adventure so far.
Arlo recites a passionate monologue about how the Pathfinder Society was DESTINED to find the deed (at which time he hold the scroll case above his head in a most Shakespearian manner, and about how the future is can only be excellent with such a partnership. At this point he shall poetically present the deed to King Zusgut. -LATER- When King Zusgut shows interest in the disguised ghoul, Arlo attempts to usher him away to discuss the legal ramifications of this deed. "Oh him? He was a prisoner of some smugglers below. The Pathfinder Society is going to attempt to help him return to his family. That's not really important, as the smugglers are gone. WHAT IS IMPORTANT is that you now hold the deed to this property!"
Whispering to the group, Arlo addresses everyone: "There is the matter of the deed to this place that we found earlier. It seems it might be the proper gesture to present it to the King. Of course he may still need to follow the proper channels, but perhaps it will help his case to have this piece of paperwork." |
