Adventure Section 1.0

[Harpoonrgm84a]

T'prin, at the back of the tavern, near the refreshers, you notice a group of four leaning in toward each other and occasionally you hear someone mutter about killing, and using weapons to attack someone. You catch muffled shouts of disgust, but nothing too coherent.

Rick, you attempt to ease in on a conversation, but are politely asked to mind your own business. They go back to talking about upcoming vacations.

[Teflon]

The group of 4 , whats the racial makeup?

[cryominer]

Okay, T'prin, you sit at the table and order your drink. Within a few minutes, the server brings you a mug of thick Yazirian ale to drink. You sip at it and watch the tables around you. Make an intuition check for me.

Vigg, and all the others trying to start up a conversation with the miners, please make Personality checks for me.

Vigg is a bore that tends to tell bad jokes when he's nervous... PER 30

[1d100] = 36

Uh-oh..."Did you hear the one about the flightless fowl that crossed the motorway?..."

[Harpoonrgm84a]

The table has 1 human, 1 yazirian, and 2 dralasites.

[Teflon]

T'prin is going to take a drink of his ale being sure to let a bit spill out onto his shirt, then he is going to head towards the freshers putting a drunken stagger into his walk, then i'm going to "accidentally " bump the table the 4 beings are sitting at. I will mumble an apology to the beings in yazirian and offer to buy a round for the table.

[MajorTom]

Refusing to give up, Rick walks up to the bar and orders a drink. He tries to find a seat that is within easy hearing distance and will again look for an opportunity to ease into a conversation. Here is another PER roll if needed (PER 40).

<a href=http://www.unseenservant.com/default.as ... d=0>[1d100] = 26</a>

OOC: Still trying to get a hang of the dice roller but I believe it means I rolled a 26.

[Harpoonrgm84a]

T'prin, you bump against the table and make your apologies. You notice that the group of four is apparently playing some kind of archaic game involving dice. When you apologize, they all look at you in a concerned way, " Are you okay, sir? May we assist you somehow?" As they are dealing with you, they see you eyeballing the table and smile. "Ever tried this game? It is a fantasy game where you seek out fortune and glory. It is called 'Catacombs & Creatures'. It is a blast! You should try it sometime!"

Rick, you finally get into a conversation with some of the patrons. They have similar skill sets and they look you over. "I don't believe we have met, stranger. My name is Chardellon (He is a Yazirian). Where do you hail from? It is apparent that you are not a miner by trade."

Vigg, one of the patrons gives you a one eyed glare. " I don't believe I have heard that one. Please, go on."

[MajorTom]

"No I be not from here and am just arrived not long ago. Was a farm boy up to not very long ago but that doesn't suit me. What's it be like to be a miner?" Rick is looking to get them talking about themselves and mining.

[Teflon]

"So what is the goal of this game?"

[Jaakari]

Lloyd was true to his word and bought both Thomas and the Dralasite their first drink. He thought for a moment, also looking for a table where there were both interesting locals and a couple of empty seats, in case one of the others chose to drift back with him.

[Jaakari]

Lloyd’s PER is 45.

And the darn die roller is not cooperating. Let me try again

[Jaakari]

Lloyd’s PER is 45.


Input: PER Check [1d100]
Output: PER Check [1d100] = 4

[Harpoonrgm84a]

T'prin, the human running the game looks at you excitedly. "The goal of the game is to last long enough to become a great hero and accumulate treasures and right wrongs. My child got me playing this game and now we can't stop!"

Rick, the guy you are talking to takes a long drink, wipes his mouth, " Well, mining can be dangerous and exciting at the same time. For example, a couple of weeks ago, there was a cave-in in one of our shafts. Nobody injured, but scary anyway. We all enjoy it even cracking jokes about 'getting the shaft'!" At this point, everyone at the table bursts out laughing.

Lloyd, you find several human female miners at the bar and join them. They turn to you and have a twinkle in their eyes. "Well, looks like we have some fresh meat here, Lascha."
Lascha: "Yes we do, Gindra. Wonder why we haven't seen him before?"
Gindra: "I doubt this guy has mined anything deeper than a woman his whole life!"
Both women begin laughing heartily and order a drink for you, Lloyd.

[MajorTom]

"Wow, sounds it be lots more interesting than farming. Bet you gots all kinds of stories to tell bout mining. How does one go about being a miner? By the way, how'd the cave in happen?"

[cryominer]

Vigg, one of the patrons gives you a one eyed glare. " I don't believe I have heard that one. Please, go on."

Vigg's body jiggles a bit at the request (the Drasalite equivalent of humans swallowing hard before nervously speaking), "...well, you see... the flightless fowl... was indecisive, but .... it needed to get to the other side of the motorway." There is an uncomfortable pause, then Vigg lets out a little giggle and waits to see the reaction of the patron.

[Teflon]

"Mind if i sit and watch for a bit?"

[Harpoonrgm84a]

<Rick> The miner looks apprehensive before continuing, "Well, friend, that is one of the unknowns of mining. Will the infrastructure hold? Even with all of our advanced technology, it is still iffy at best. That mine collapse was caused by a tectonic shift or that was what our on site geologist told us. I was working that area until the collapse. After it, they split our group off between the other two areas. If you are really interested in mining, you can apply with any company. You just need to pass a psych test to make sure you can handle being underground for long periods of time."

<T'prin> They wave for you to pull up a chair while they continue to play.

<Vigg> The miners pause for a moment, then some begin laughing, one groans. "Well, Dralasite, have a seat. Do you have any other humorous puns like that?"

[MajorTom]

Rick wonders why the miner looks apprehensive but doesn't pursue it immediately. He moves past the mine accident for now and asks, "Does the pay be pretty good? Do accidents in mines be pretty common?" He will continue to ask questions from the perspective of someone thinking about becoming a miner.

[pdunwin]

Borble has reverted to its bipedal, bilaterally symmetric form and it's standing a bit taller in this lower gravity.

It's eager to start the job proper, but tries to be sociable and is also present at the tavern. It absorbs a few complimentary carbohydrates, but does not partake of any intoxicants.

[Jaakari]

Lloyd smiles wryly and finds a place among the flirty women miners, he accepted the drink, commenting, “I guess it depends on the length of the shaft, doesn’t it? Cheers!” After a swallow of the local swill, he is curious, “You both work at the same time?” It could be taken a lot of ways, of course. “I just rolled into town. There More than one mine in these parts?”
