City of Cresthall

Bennett chuckles, "Gotta be more specific, I like a lot of things. Including long walks on the beach, watching the sunset, and getting absolutely blitzed at a tavern and then using my ability to disguise myself for some high jinx. What are we gonna ask Pebb?"

”Probably why youre such a weirdo.” Crispy jokes, without missing a beat.

"Absolutely Blitzed!" he mimics as he takes a stab at the air with the blade alight.

I would like to spar with Gasp sometime, test his ability with a sword. Now that I think about it, I'd like to spar Crispy as well... she seems to know her way around a battlefield, Bennett thinks...

"I had an idea. Have you two ever sparred with anyone?" Bennett asks Crispy and Gasp "I used to spar with my unit all the time, helped us immensely. You can learn a lot from someone by how they wield a sword and how they use it."

Personally I don't  too drink much. It impairs the senses and then I can't do my job. Ashley gives Crispy a reassuring look. I still plan on sharing one with you all. But just the one.

”Of course.“ Crispy says, “Ive spent most of my life fighting others. Especially in the Academy.”

Gasp just looks to Bennett for a moment, blinking, giving contemplative clicking sounds. “I use to spar with my unit all the time.” He mimics.

Bennett nods, "Maybe we could spar sometime then."

“Sure, but you might wanna get that thing on your face checked out.” she says, looking at your forehead curiously.

Bennett looks at her curiously, "My forehead?" he reaches up and rubs on his forehead.

((What's on his forehead? If this is a prank, you're getting RKO'd off the top rope.))

”Yeah, THIS thing. SUCKER PUNCH!” Crispy launches her palm as youre not looking, busy reaching up feeling your forehead, and smacks your head, hard, and crumples over in laughter.

After falling for the trick, Bennett chuckles and whispers to Crispy, "Two can play at that game."

Bennett uses Mask of Many Faces to cast Disguise Self to make him look like an elderly man who is hunched over, long grey messy unkept hair with ragged clothes.

He falls to the ground and starts rubbing his head, "Owwww, w-why did you do that, a-all I wanted was a c-coin, please, don't h-hurt me anymore" old-man Bennett starts to whimper.

20 Deception to make it seem real ((or would this be performance?))

EDIT: ((Reading the skill descriptions make it seem like Deception is the one. Ignore my Performance roll.))

Crispy cant breathe, wheezing from laughing so hard, all she yells from the floor is “GOT EEM!“

Old man Pebb is over by the hill, overlooking the quarry and the mine. He sits upon a old rocker as every few moments an half orc comes up to him then goes back down.

The half orcs near you notice the your group messing about deciding not to do much about it. And as old man Bennett falls, a couple of the younger ones believe it as they rush over and try to help him up.

(Was catching up on sleep.)

Old man Bennett lets the younger ones help him up, "T-thank you so m-much. W-where am I? I-I don't feel alright"

You're in the MINES, Grampa says Hatt, in an exaggerated loud voice as though to a person with hearing loss.  Remember?  Remember the GOBLINS?  Terribly sorry, he says to the recently-arrived half orcs.  He gets a little confused sometimes.  You can leave him with us.  He smiles in what he hopes is a reassuring manner.

"Ok, ok," Crispy says, getting up, wiping her tears. "I didn't smack you THAT hard."

Ashley lets out a rolling chuckle. Hahaha!!  I cant believe he fell for it!

(And Kipskodd will be leaving us unfortunately. But I will lead her character back to the tavern as she is technically the only one that got the quest from the dragonborn.)

Crispy hasn't had a laugh like this for a long as she can remember. She pats Bennett on the back, and winks saucily at Ashley.
