Café de Nuit

No he's not hiding anything... Let me doublecheck...

Pulling out the sketch and the lock hair, Thom walks over to Dorgio and hands them over. "I am fairly certain that Theophile is Gauderic's father and now the boy is either chasing after him or going back to the manor to kill Ferenc himself. I just hope this delay Alain has caused me doesn't cost the young lord his life." He says.

Right, I see it. I'll pull up a description of the sketch. Wait one...

PLEASE READ THIS POST

The scene has advanced.

Let's avoid flashbacks and focus on the action at hand.
Read my IC update/scene shift before posing IC, please.

Gimme those actions, guys. Place rolls in OOC.

Attack Roll.. 1d20+2=22

Natural 20! Can I critical and possibly sneak attack Theophile?

"Where's Gauderic?" He asks looking around for the young nobleman. Hoping Zandor's music provide him with a suitable enough distraction Thom advances on Theophile pulling a dagger out as he moves. Once he is close enough he sticks Theophile with his dagger.

The move and attack do not happen until others get a chance to post. Also, give me an initiative roll. Someone may go ahead of Thom, or interrupt his action.

Init (1d20+1=17)

That's cool, also Thom is only using a regular dagger not any of his cold iron or his silver weapons.

Zandor begins to play his fiddle, trying to fascinate the two men with his tune.

CLASSIC LINE!



You like playing a bard, don't you?

Give me an initiative roll, too, please.

dammit mike! a drawn weapon will break my fascinate!

Kewl beans

You might want to edit your IC post to read:
''Thom moves towards Theo with his dagger concealed behind his back'' or something like that.

That way, people reading it don't get confused and think it's too late to interrupt/take other actions. This is not negative critcism. I'm just trying to be fair and fun, pacing this scene so that PCs don't get left out.

Thanks.

Indeed, it will.

That's why I want to go initiative order.

If Mike is trying for a sneak attack, then I assume Thom is doing something like:

A) Low crawling through the grass


B) hiding his weapon behind his back and hoping Theo doesn't catch on

B) going the long way round with move silent and hide rolls


It's night, but the moon and stars are out and concealment is limited.

He is hoping Theo doesn't catch on... I adjust my post to reflect that. I can roll my bluff too if you would like. Maybe Sleight of hand too?

Sure.

I suggest that you edit so that the post describes only what Thom begins to do. He gets his knife ready and hidden, and moves twoards Theo....
I will handle the actual closing in and attacking part once I have posts from other players, declared actions, and rolls. Does that make sense?

Roger. Skill rolls incoming.

Bluff score Bluff Check (1d20+9=29)

sleight of hand 1d20+3=23

Umm.. I think all my next rolls will result in the immediate demise of Thom lol.

Once he is close enough he sticks Theophile with his dagger.

This is intent.

The other PC don't know this, so I'd probably keep it OOC. That's my advice, anyway.

EDIT- I see that you edited. Thanks. I'm trying to keep the pacing and init count right for this scene. Very important.
