"Sir, we have all been watching the contest. I can certainly check with Guilliame what he has observed but let me ask you if he says nought has happened, then will you withdraw for making a frivolous complaint?"

Dora's Insight:
[OOC: The townsman seems quite unaffected by the amount of drink he has had. This is classed as a success.
However, you should have rolled again for experience for the previous failed Insight check. See my next post regarding this.]

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I have had a thought regarding the gaining of experience from failed skilled checks.
Would you two be okay with me making the second roll for you if a skill failure occurs and applying any experience directly to your character sheets without reporting it to you?
This would speed up the process and reduce the number of posts making it easier to track things.
What do you think?]

[OOC: Although this looks like '24', it is actually a '4', so no experience. Also, from now on, I will roll for experience for you. Andrew too, if he agrees.]

[OOC okay by me, sorry about that 24 - I don't know why that happens.]
[OOC: No worries. Do you want to make that Insight you hid behind that spoiler now?
Also, if you want to colourise your OOC comments, it might be best to choose a different colour so it is easy to tell yours from mine. I colourise mine so that I can tell at a glance that they aren't part of what the characters know and it might be confusing if you use the same colour.]

[OOC: No worries. Any response with the townsman's request for Guilliame to keep an eye on proceedings. See here. If you hadn't realised, Guilliame is the magus he is referring to.]

I hold up my hand to the aggrieved townsman indicating that I will be address his question in just a moment, and then walk up to Guilliame. Quietly "do you know what is going on here Guilliame?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Brock looks at Dora as if with a new appreciation and then smiles broadly.
"Right you are, Handleader," he says, reaching down below the counter of the bar from where he draws a loaded heavy crossbow.
Dora's knowledge of the law:
[OOC: The current law just stops people carrying major weapons in the streets. It does not prevent people having weapons in their homes or places of business for the purposes of self defence.]
Balancing the crossbow on the hook of his left arm, he turns and points it in the general direction of the four near the staircase.
"Right!" he says in a stern voice that carries throughout the silent taproom. "You lot. Hop it. And I do not want to see you here again. Otherwise, I will sick Handleader Wallus and her handsmen on you."
Once again, silence descends on the taproom.
[OOC:
Brock's contested Intimidation roll for my reference: 14
Intimidation rolls of those being challenged:14 , 19 , 15 , 8
]
The four look at each other and then look at the crossbow in Brock's hands and then get up and meekly head towards the door. The only one that shows any spirit is a rather effeminate-looking man who stops at the door and does a quick gesture of ill luck towards the townsman before quickly leaving the building.
"Of all the..." begins the townsman, looking down at his body with a gesture of distaste. Then he sighs in apparent relief and adds, "It looks like I have the luck of Venuss tonight."

I hold up my hand to the aggrieved townsman indicating that I will be address his question in just a moment, and then walk up to Guilliame. Quietly "do you know what is going on here Guilliame?"
Quietly "One of the sailor chappies used a Stemian hex on that man. It's not up to date like magick but who knows about the old ways."
I beckon Brock, "The townsman is right, one of the sailors has used a Stemian hex on him. So what do you propose Master Brock?"
Brock approaches and listens to what Handleader Wallus has to say.
Nodding, he says, "Those four are newcomers... And I do not like the look of them. If you could see them out the door, it would be much appreciated."
[Paul, Please make an Area Knowledge at Disadvantage skill check for Dora.]
Dora looks at the four at the table near the stairs and can't help but notice them all staring at her.
Meanwhile, there is a murmuring of general dissatisfaction from the people in the taproom; clearly they want a decision sooner rather than later.
