The Divine Fallen

I greet the bartender in Elvish wondering if she speaks it

"i was chosen by the gilded seers and sent on this task by the Progenitor myself, it may not be profitable but if i can help restore balance to this world then i see it as a worth job. not all in this world should be judged by money. And this task is certainly opening my eyes to what it means to be serious"

i say in a slightly more serious tone to show that there is more to me than it seems

'Well, he's trying his best, and you must forgive him. He is very drunk right now. I guess I forgot to tell him part of my bloodline are Ale House Drakes when I challenged him to a drinking contest." She grins mischievously at Durk.

She then turns to Nemmonis and greets you back in Elvish. 

"Well then, if you're on a quest to save the world, you must all be very important, eh?"

"We were kidnapped by the Progenitor and placed into a warzone filled with undead and backstabbers attempting to murder us while we attempted to haphazardly save the maidens, to be perfectly honest we shouldn't have made it out alive. Though i suppose if we're 'chosen' then it allows me the opportunity to broaden my magical horizons"

"supposedly so, but that'snot for us to decide. Let other people see the value in us I say"

I nod agreeing with Nico statment

"You don't seem to be a very big fan, Nico. Though I could see why, if what you're saying is true."

"I had an enjoyable life studying nature and I've suddenly been uprooted like a tree, my roots are as raw as my nerves. I hold no grudge to the denizens of this village, you seem lovely, but I cannot simply love an entity and follow his will when he takes me against my will and expects me to do his bidding. I'm simply glad the maidens were saved. That, if anything, i can count as a silver lining."

"this quest has tested me and i have come out stronger so far, were it not for Nemmonis and his sand and my abilites we would not have made it here as intact as we are now"

Talia shrugs and says "Sometimes gods **** with you. Nothing that can be done about it. They make all the legends of heroes sound amazing, but most times in reality they've had whatever they're famous for thrust upon them."

"i agree that there is nothing to be done about it, but to reject our fate would mean to be a coward and let the evil of this land have it's way and let all the inhabitants die"

i start to go on a semi-drunk ramble but i am speaking calmly

"the times are dark and we must save the light, i may not fully trust this progenitor or this party but i will carry out this duty and keep these young maidens safe, they did not ask to be the maidens of the Progenitor as we did not choose to be the ones to save them but we will see this through"

"Well if you don't trust me bard guess you wouldn't want o be carried home by me if you cant walk" I nudge him softly in jest and laugh, trust me when I say we will get along my friend, everyone here will. I feel it in my soul."

Talia looks amusingly at you as you ramble. "Very brave words, Durkannon. You all seem very up to the task, however reluctant. I had fantasies of being a hero when I was a young girl. If I wasn't here, I'd probably be exploring the world. There are so many places to go. You're lucky that you'll get to see them."

"then why not join us? we could always do with another member, the Maidens would be sure to warm up to you. i have gold that i will offer to pay for some equipment, and you have the gold you rightly won from me"

i try to convince Talia to join us

(do i roll for charisma? or performance?)

Talia seems taken aback by your offer, and stutters trying to find something to say.

(Yup, roll charisma)

11

(did you roll persuasion, or just for a general charisma check? bc you'd be better off using persuasion)

(lol i rolled a general so only +2, can i roll for persuation instead since i realise that i said performance instead of persuasion when i first asked)

(yeah, go for a re-roll in persuasion)
