Art nods, grinning widely. "I'll see what I can find out around town. Perhaps some of the bars and such might know something... If there's something to hear, I'm sure I'll pick it up." He says confidently. And with that, he's off, stretching his wings a bit above the docks, flying around deftly.

Once he touches back down, however, he's all business, finding his way to the first of likely several stops in local bars, a likely slow, potentially expensive foray into town as he inquires about some particularly rowdy, problematic lizardfolk.

Diplomacy, Gather Information: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Sense motive DC 20: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

DC 15: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

"Aye, someone with a better hold on the language seems it would make things a lot easier. Not to mention, somebody what might actually want to be here!"

Then, as Elrohir speaks, he keeps an ear rather open for an answer, ready to stretch his wings properly in some new airspace.

I've also been having difficulties with it, for some reason.

"That fruit's not gonna sell itself, though. We need to get it outta here on the double, 's long as everything is in order on your end! A little speed would be nice, if possible; delicate cargo and all!" the excitable halvavian can't help but chime in, likewise trying to speed the process along.

Diplomacy Assist: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

I'm kinda good at talking. I suppose I didn't need to roll, but I can't lie, I wanted to see what I'd get.

Likewise, belatedly!

"As you wish! Shouldn't be too tough to stay outta sight, anyway, I don't think, let alone get back." Art says cheerfully, happy to have a task he's actually somewhat decent at ahead of him, even if he, cocky as he is, thinks Connor is underestimating him. "They'll want to be the ones headin' back, if they start shootin' at me," he mutters shortly before takeoff, though he intends to roughly obey Connor's words.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 That good ole scouting skill, hopefully putting in some work.

About all I can help with is scouting. Nothing like a silly, helpful skill like Knowledge, or even a profession, and unfortunately I can't just talk our way to where we need to go.

At some point between scouting and listening to the lamentations of his navigator, he nudges Adraniel, asking a simple "Does it always take this long to get anywhere? What'sis'name's gonna be cooled off well before he gets to us... "

Art nods, grinning widely. "I think we've spread word pretty well. We'll be hearing from him soon, I'm sure, or he's deaf. People'll be talking for a while!"

I'll do so either when I get home, or early tomorrow. That's almost identical to what I had before, though with the addition of the skill spoiler.

Although it's not super pressing right now, being distinctly not yet in combat, would you like me to roll HP, take average, or some other method?

Art is more than content that his charismatic gabbing has proven itself useful, beaming as he and Adran return to the rest of the group.

"Of course I am! I've got a passion for all I do, even if it gets me into trouble! Especially when it gets me into trouble. If he doesn't come after us, either he's not in the area, or he's no longer interested, I think!"

Sorry, I didn't check the thread before I left yesterday morning, and when I got back home in the afternoon, my net was spotty if I'm being generous. After some finagling with ISP, all is well. I'm reading up, now, and will post soon.

Edit: I have realized that I never rolled HP, and don't remember your guidelines for that.

In addition, stats and skills have been consolidated into spoilers as per request.

Art nods enthusiastically with Connor's suggestion for him to tag along with Adraniel. "We'll have him on us in no time, I'm sure," he says, before assisting how he can in rumormongering.

Art helps as he can, eager little guy that he is, though being of little help in the way of skills, other than another set of eyes, his helpfulness is mostly restricted to cleaning and other such sundry tasks. "It almost sounds like," he says between bites of a particularly loud, juicy apple, "[/b]like they're 'specially recruited, if they're all the same type. Maybe, even, he's making them? Is that a thing demons can do? I wouldn't put it past the buggers...[/b]" Art obviously has no idea what he's talking about, speaking in vagueries about his theories and such.

"I like this one," Art says, smiling broadly as Adraniel suggests goading their enemies into a fight. "Just brash enough, I think, that it could work!"

Aye!

"That was a rough one, but it'll take a lot more than that to take out the likes of me!" the exuberant, boastful halvavian commented, wet as he was. "I came to be helpful, and god or no gods, that's what I'm going to do! ...I wouldn't mind a drink, too, though, if they're on the table..."

I think that that's the, by far, least formal background I've ever written, and a knew perspective for writing for me in general. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I felt it fit the character more. It's likely not great, and will likely need some rejiggering, but it's on the character sheet now, at least!

I'll get on to writing down Powers for gear, in addition to dissecting attack bonuses, shortly.

Edit: It took me forever to figure out where my Attack Bonus was coming from. Showed me how often I make small characters, I completely forgot about the size bonus. Everything ought to be kosher (at least mechanically) now.

Ready to get to work! Even though I've got a dot in the gameplay thread already, I'll pop a post back in to get my character into the character list, and to get this game back onto my "Current Campaigns" tab.
