Namira - AC: 14 | HP: 24/24 | PP: 14 | Spell slots 2/2 | Conditions: N/A Settling on the young tortoise's back with a wriggle, Namira played a soft note on her flute and a pale blue hand of magical force manifested before the large reptile. Another gesture and it gripped a hand full of food from in front of the beast's beak and held it just out of reach. "Ah-ahh, not all at once, follow the food and keep going for more." She said.. but didn't expect it's neck to reach so far and jar her so abruptly as to mess her concentration on the spell. Dice Ex Machina

Rillik gives a thumbs up to Roland "Extreme prejudice, got it."

k I'm going for a run, if PixCo reposts, then I'll move mine. PS, Rillik is generally used to punching soldiers and them thinking nothing of it, I'm not sure how Roland would react to the zero damage punches.

You'd just repost, then we'd delete ours and repost.

I can pull mine too if you want to put it back :) PS: I'm assuming Roland would find Rillik punching him amusing. She's got a neg strength so only does damage on a crit, and she's not aiming that low.

I am editing as Rill saw yopine siding with the bugbear and kobold... is that fine?

ack, I had replied to your post, now I need to edit a second time.

Rillik d'Sivis Her gaze and stance is unmoving, but the gnome responded to the bard stoically. "...shows a trust." She repeated with a nod. She couldn't understand why they hadn't simply agreed, why they were being so evasive. The solution was simple, they would speak clearly and candidly their words. Did they just expect people to trust them without them giving their word? Rillik couldn't fathom that as even an option, her lineage was one of scribes and scriveners, some of whom would argue that if it wasn't said or written, it wasn't of consequence. It wasn't a consideration or even a fleeting thought, there were no thoughts happening right now, behind her eyes was only a taciturn reigning in of darkness. With a glance to Yopine, she noticed her edging closer to the bugbear and kobold, as if intending to side with them. Rillik flinched as if stung, but clenched her jaw and bore it... her eyes beginning to glisten slightly. At Roland's interjection she wheeled on him, marched straight up to the undermining bastard, starring him down, then once she was right up on him, the three and a half foot gnome punched him in the guts with such force that... well, he probably felt better than worse. She was not a strong, even for a gnome her size, her physical prowess was subpar. Seeing his lack of reaction, she punched him again.

Umm... I agree with everything you're saying? Very very sorry its coming across as arguing objective reality :/ Rillik is completely biased, full of confirmation biases and cognative dissonance atm. Like I mentioned before, she would also probably assume if something was missing, that the kobold took it. That's not because she's fair. That's why I put in the "to her implies", not just "implies". only two small words but they are important ones, though I could see them being seen as a defense/cop out. Glad to hear you were doing your best to give me the benefit of the doubt :) I mean, she jumped in part way through a conversation demanding answers, and in her mind the response was the bugbear getting upset. That's not because she's considering the fact that any reasonable person would get frustrated by the sarcasm and grilling that occured, heck I think Torben was nice not to throw the log at someone. It was some great RP on his behalf :) Ril breaks from this and rambles off, some loose and reaching theory of the dog eating something magic and off the cuff casts a detect magic spell. It was a long shot in Ril's mind and even more of a long shot in mine. The strength and unexpectedness of the aura was now being crammed into her view, because not only was she not really expecting to find magic, this was completely out of the scope she was considering. New information must be made to fit into her existing paradigm... crunch-crunch-crunch... while thinking of this she hears "danger" in draconic. When was the last time she might have heard this from a kobold? Not from an ally... now she's flying down a mental rabbit hole, looking over her shoulder for attacks, edgy as all hell until her CO snapped her out of it... then she's "fine". She was being bias by a lot, to the point of insulting for sure. Does that mean her requests are not fair and or reasonable? ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ Does it mean if Ragz and Torben stay its despite Rillik, Not because she's made what could be construed as a reasonable request... oh I think that's probably a safe bet. edit: Trying to explain not justify. Feel free to give her shit for them... :o

On another note, Torben already differed to Ragz. I think the ball may be in his court.

No problem, it's not an easy scenario. Rillik wasn't really involved in the conversation at the time he said he couldn't say, she sorta butted in after half listening. I'm not sure about the threat, I don't want to make her get more aggressive. Her current hyperpothesis is you guys stole a baby dragon. Maybe one that was in disguise or maybe one you put a disguise on. As that's the simplest explaination as to why a previously non active elder green dragon is going nutso and chasing you. She's not thought further, so I'm not sure how that would go. she could suggest telling the green dragon where you are and where you're going in relatively short order of she believes that's the right thing to do or not let the dog go? Note sure did assist in getting one of yopine's "friends" arrested, so that would be in line for Rill. But really I'm not sure... She is more concerned with the dragon than the tentacle business, so will play by ear. I'm not sure if that helps. I hope that helps. Edit: Someone voicing that Torben had basically already expressed that he made a promise not to tell, would be good enough for her.

Tricky scene. Rillik is being very abrasive, but she's being quite candid as to why, you guys are being supa suss. She'll take you at your word, but the fact that you guys have acted evasive, to her implies that you're deliberately hiding things that may affect the company and others. If the bugbear had said, I can't tell you because I gave my word, she'd have respected it. If the kobold had made some comment about the enchantement not being his doing, she'd likely have accepted that. Are such requirements fair or reasonable? Welllllll.... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ like she did just say maybe the dog ate something magical and then said she's magic... danger may be apt, lol.
