You may also pick up that she views the two gnomes with amusement tinged with contempt, as of someone who is behaving like a child. You may or may not get that either!
Coolios.

If he does pick up on it, his attitude toward her will shift toward the positive. He does not really care if she supports the Rebellion, at least not in the current strange circumstances.

Oh, and I am trying to play that 6 CHR. Not super low, but low enough that he can be unpleasant.

You are doing very well :)

She is responding to that 6 Cha! Fortunately, in a 16 Wis kinda way, so she is amused and dismissive rather than aggressive or insulted.

No it's not. The player plays the character. :)

The DM says "She doesn't seem to be lying" but Ewan decides what Gnorric gets from that. She may be a good liar or she may be truthful.

Right, I just need to know if she does not seem to be lying.
He can judge her character and loyalties from her conduct, afterward.

Ok.

You guys think we should ask the kids more questions?

Bhunder might go but the kids are afraid of him.

Fear could be good.

But can we even reach them?

That toxic fog!

Little guys could be dead now.
Unless, of course, they are Village of the Damned kiddies and this is a death trap dungeon.

I updated the map after Van told me her character is checking the final room. Van's check is a success. I rolled for Gnorric since he's always checking.
If Bhunder or Kimber also investigating the paneling (not the table, the paintings or the windows), I would like to see a perception check to notice the carvings.

If you also break the shutters here, or try to open them from the inside inform me.

NOTE: I updated the 1st floor map and corrected a mistake on the size of the house. You haven't found any obvious danger so far.

As should be fairly obvious, Gnorric is calling the Dwarf out on his boasting.

Let's see him drink some wine, if he is so tough and the rest of us are just wimpy non-dwarves.
Gnorric is being pretty open about his desire to see the Dwarf prove his boast.

But should I roll a skill check?

Deception? It's not really a lie, although he made up the stuff about dwarves and wine. So it is a trick.

Oh, snap! Nat 20 skill check-- if the DM accepts that use of the skill and says a roll was appropriate.

Kimber finds the decorations rather unpleasant due to the overt hunting scenes and is avoiding studying them too deeply, so she will be unaware of the even worse subtext!

It's taunting to make the dwarf drink the wine to see if it's poisoned. This is deception.
You got the knack out of the system it seems Ewan.

The deception check with the nat 20 is a great success.

Sorry for my lack of posting over the past two days. Busy holiday stuff. I'll post as soon as I can.

Steve, Bhunder doesn't find anything arcane in the engravings aside of them being creepy.
