"Samuel. I still don't know what you told Dora. What has happened that you find yourself here?"
For Guilliame:
Hesitantly Samel tells the story of how he ran when he thought Guilliame was trying to cast a spell on him and how he then lost his master's flask in the cattle yard and saw the handleader pick it up. He then followed the two of you back to the guard post wondering how he was going to recover his master's property and hiding under the guard post hoping that he might be able to steal it back.

"Sorry Alice, of course hand out jerky and any other snacks we have. I just thought that it was not a good idea to be cooking food while you were keeping watch."
[OOC: Dora is just chewing the last of her jerky when she becomes aware that someone is coming down the road from the north singing raucously. Looking beyond where Barrus is already looking, Dora sees two figures—one carrying a lantern—staggering in their direction and leaning heavily on each other.]

Walk towards Barrus, taking care not to let Barrus spoil my aim if it comes to that. Try to ascertain whether these are real drunks. Perception roll?
21
For Dora:
[OOC: Determining whether the pair are drunk or not would be more of an Insight check that a Perception check, but what the Perception check tells Dora is that these two are familiar to her; she saw them earlier in the night at the Shepherd's Rest and one of them was a contestant in the arm-twisting competition. Also, the Perception check tells her that they are singing in Stemian.]
"Drunk as lords," says Barrus with a disparaging sniff as the two continue their stumbling approach.
[OOC: Now you can make an Insight check for Dora.]

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
As the two continue to approach, one of them looks up and sees Dora and Barrus. He then straightens up and stops the other one from singing with a nudge and a whisper. In response, the second man looks around and then sees the two of you.
"It is okay," he then says loudly to his companion. "It is just the Watch."
"Hello handleader," he then says, stumbling directly towards Dora with some purpose. "My sister's husband is in the Watch. Paddo Rudd? Do you know him?"
[OOC: Dora does indeed know the name Paddo Rudd. He is a member of one of the other Scholar's Ward hands.
Also, the two seem to be just ordinary drunks, amiable at this moment.]
For Guilliame:
For a little while, Guilliame has been hearing drunken singing in Stemian coming from outside the window of the cabin. That singing has now stopped and a muffled conversation is now occurring.
[OOC: To hear anything more, Guilliame would need to move to the shuttered window and you would need to make a Perception check for him.]
"No closer Sir. I will have to ask you to be on your way - we are on duty."
Intimidation:
7
[OOC: Oops, I should have done this outside your spoiler area, but I can't change it now without the forum complaining about modified rolls.
This is a contested roll against Intimidation checks for the two men, which I will make at Disadvantage as Dora and Barrus are carrying obvious weapons.
Man 1 (the more sober of the two, who has a 12 Charisma but no proficiency):2
Man 2 (the gregarious one, who has 10 Charisma but is proficient in Intimidation):9
]
The two men immediately stop at Dora's words and the more sober of the two gives Dora a challenging look before beginning to steer his friend away.
[OOC: Unless you want Dora to interact with these two, they will simply continue on their way as the soberer man, while not impressed, is not in his cups enough to want further involvement.
Also, as your roll for Dora is technically a failure, here is the roll for experience:19
The above is a success, so Dora gains some experience points, which I have added.
]
"What is wrong?" says the brother-in-law of Paddo Rudd as his friend steers him away. "I just want to talk."

[OOC the hand is just staying alert at their posts watching and waiting so yes bring it on.]
Keep an eye and ear out. Otherwise wait for return of sheriff.
Some time passes without incident.
For Dora:
During the next swap over, Alice approaches Dora.
"Handleader," she begins. "It is way past time for us to have some food. Want me to put the char pot on and make some food?"

[OOC Assuming that Alice is taking up position on the guard post balcony therefore I am on road north and Barrus on road south.]
"Yes to the char but you need to keep watch and I don't see how you can do that and make food. Just char, that will have to keep us going."

A little while later Alice does the rounds handing out mugs of char and a strip of dried jerky to the hand and Guilliame.
For Guilliame:
[OOC: Alice has char and jerky for Samel. Is it alright for her to give them to him?]

[OOC Barrus is on the road north? Dora on the road south? Is public drunkenness and offence?]
For Dora:
[OOC: Barrus replaced Alice while she prepared and handed out the char and jerky. She is now watching the door and the platform.
Also, public drunkenness is not an offence, unless it leads to disturbing the peace.]
