[IC] A Stolen Land

[Nexendia]

[OoC you were waiting for me to post on my busiest work weekend of the year.. I worked 13-15 hour days every day since last Thursday lol.. let me breathe.. it is not that i was forced to work at gunpoint mind, but with work so shorthanded they were offering triple pay for overtime I wasn't willing to say no.]

[OoC2 we haven't even saddled the horses yet lol, thought everyone was still milling about having breakfast and preparing.]

"Lady Nexendia, Lady Andra, I must confess I have little experience with tack and harness. My beasts saddle seemed a might wobbly yesterday. Would you mind helping me in the stable checking my steed's tack?"

[Bluff [1d20+0] = 17+0 = 17 - the lie is obvious, Valdi is a horrible liar and knows it, the bluff check is to make sure Andra and Nexendia understand he actually wants a word in private]

Once alone:

"He is being truthful about wanting to see the shrine, I am certain of it.  In fact if i am any judge of what teh runes are telling me, it is his sole purpose in coming to the wilderness."

[OoC: I am aware of your busy weekend but it's been a week.  And I wasn't complaining about you not posting, I just didn't want the DM to think I wasn't posting because I had lost interest.  Speaking for myself, as a PbP DM, I start wondering what's going on when no one posts for a few days let alone a week.  It was not meant as a personal assault upon you.  If it came off that way then I apologize. ]

[OoC2: Actually all Nexendia has done is ask if he had a horse.  Then in the interest of saving time, I stated what she would do depending upon his answer.  So Nex hasn't gotten on her horse yet because the DM's reply will determine Nex's actions. 

[OoC3: I don't think a 17 on a Bluff check is an obvious lie.  You only need a DC15 to succeed in giving us a simple hidden message.  He can figure it out by an opposed sense motive.]


When Valdi relays his suspicions she whispers, while helping with his saddle, "Do you know anything about this Shrine to Erastil?"

[OoC4: Nexendia has knowledge Religion +9; Result: 28!; If Religion isn't the correct Knowledge skill, she also has Knowledge in Arcana/ Nature/ Nobility/ Planes all at +9]
