Talk:Interview at the Mill

I Reorganized this page to make the storytelling part more sensible --Msallen 10:19, 16 December 2009 (EST)

Of all the people to start FF. If you work in edrell slash, you're done here. ;) -gm

"Gil and Holm were pathetic, yes, but tender, almost kind. Germain had often wondered what it would have been like, to explore their softer sides in a lonely moment."-Slitherrr

I still have interrogating to do! What did your NPC in Danrel's wardhouse say when I was interrogating Gil, Matt? "Do ye want me to do 'em with a broomstick, or more natural like? The later will cost ye more." --Msallen 16:29, 15 December 2009 (EST)

And you kept that in your notes, verbatim. A proud moment. That guy was just a sociopath, you know that particular ward was not so carefully maintained. Or, are you saying you want to go find that guy again? -gm

PS. I don't have gmail at work, and this might be a fun way to RP the interrogation. I'll let you know when I want you to take over, Matt. --Msallen 16:29, 15 December 2009 (EST)

haha, however you want to do it. This could be interesting, and I'm always up for new things. -gm

Also: Isn't LE tall and wan? Hardly a fireplug. She could probably kill you. -gm

Everyone in the party could kill me. That doesn't mean I can't think they are cute. --Msallen 18:30, 15 December 2009 (EST)

Argh, the former writer in me cringes! "Fireplug" is someone short and stout and tough, not someone who is cute. Also, you want I should just make you some intimidate, diplo, and associated checks, and tell you what you come up with so you can add to the story? -gm

Well, that's why I fixed it! Up to you how you do the mechanics part of it. PS. L2Log in you shmuck --Msallen 09:19, 16 December 2009 (EST)

Logging in is beneath me. Consider me a intimidating, disembodied voice from heaven. At least I remember to sign my stuff. -gm

You have to do it once and check the box for "keep me logged in". Even you could manage. --Msallen 10:19, 16 December 2009 (EST)

Storytelling Shit

Done... your turn. I put parenthesis for the skill checks I would do and to give some direction to what I'm doing. Augment those parts if there is something you think I would care about. Don't feel like you have to write a lot--this part was just a setup. We can work on it as a dialog back and forth if it makes sense to you. --Msallen 18:30, 15 December 2009 (EST)

I'll start with the listen check, then percolate for the rest. Next game isn't till Jan 6, so I have a feeling you'll get a good interrogation.

Spot Check (13+7 = 20) Quin has done a thorough job binding them. The three unconscious ones are in one corner, and Cinnamon - who is still conscious - is crammed in one corner. There is no indication that any of them are making any headway toward escaping. The appear to pose no threat.

Listen (7+7 = 14) You hear the ambient noise of a disused grist mill. The creaking of wooden crankshafts, the scampering of rodents, etc.

Diplomacy (14+12 = 26) Cinnamon drinks the wine. She is suspicious and wary, but not exactly hostile. (Sense Motive roll - (17+10 = 27)

Is this a commit? Ball in my court? --Msallen 10:19, 16 December 2009 (EST)

THE KOOL-AID MAN JUMPS IN AND SAYS, "OOOH YEAH!" -gm

(Just kidding) -Slitherrr-gm

Heh, heh. Yeah, those are are rolls so far. Didn't want to work too hard.

sodomy check --Msallen 10:36, 16 December 2009 (EST) (simul-edit ftw -Slitherrr)

Germain takes 20s on those, I think. He's very thorough. -gm

"Leave no bone disinterred" ;) Can I tell if she is lucid enough to talk? Ie. is she quiet because she doesn't want to talk, or quiet because she is still dazed? --Msallen 11:31, 16 December 2009 (EST)

---

Commit. Just trying to coax a little info out while I have Cinny alone. If she doesn't talk, just let me know. --Msallen 12:00, 16 December 2009 (EST)

Futzing :| Help me out, Jonsey! --Msallen 11:09, 17 December 2009 (EST)

Yeah, gm, don't leave him hanging! -Slitherrr

He's probably forsaken us for pills and video games again. I would have. --Msallen 16:10, 17 December 2009 (EST)

Ha, some of us have to work at our day jobs, especially on the last day of school. Let me finish off Grither in the Civ 4 game then I'll get on this. -gm

Alright, impatient fuck and company -

[Initial Sense Motive: 23] she appears somewhat confused, with an underlying sense of tension. Very much a waiting for the next move sort of vibe.

[Diplomacy : 30], [Bluff: 15], [Sense Motive: 20]

You can tell your words are having an impact, and she looks like she is about to say something. She hesitates. "I know you can't keep me safe. No one can." -gm

If you are going to drop 16 names, please give me some links. I think some of those people worked at the platinum quill?

 :) Alrighty, I can work with that. Katellian and Antishara are the Platinum quill crew. Valari and Quint are two shady guys I worked with when I was in Fynn's wardhouse in that curious incident where I subdued and bound some of the mayor's men and they turned up with their throats slit the next day. I'm just trying to get some names out there that I want to learn more about, hoping I can get a bit of info beyond just the immediate mantatlus/fynn situation. --Msallen 17:14, 17 December 2009 (EST)

Perfect. -gm

Commit. Not too bad for drunk and tired! --Msallen 10:24, 18 December 2009 (EST)

Drunk? At 10 in the morning? Someone takes the holiday season pretty seriously! -Slitherrr

First draft was at 2:45 am! Last night was banker holiday party--perhaps not the bacchanalia it would have been before the bailouts, but nothing to sneeze at either. --Msallen 11:21, 18 December 2009 (EST)

Alright, about to deal with your shit, then I'm going to get shellaxed, myself. Don't expect anything else useful from me today. (PS: I thought bank stocks were UP.)
