Was helping Gnorric taunt, not use thief tools.

GNORRIC is pressing the issue.

This isn't a Deception attempt.

Not exactly Intimidation. He's not making a threat. But he is essentially calling the dwarf out on his BS. So if it is intimidation, and a roll is needed:


[dice]0[/dice]

And as the dwarf has demonstrated incredibly fast reflexes ( snatching stuff from Van twice without Van being able to do more than blink), GNORRIC is keeping both hands near his weapons.
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

That's because I assume Van wouldn't stop him, not because Burdur has any particular skill. If Van, a well trained warrior, wanted he would have little trouble stopping the grabby dwarf's hands.

Hmm... I don't understand what exactly is Gnorric trying to accomplish? Make the dwarf fall in line? Make the dwarf drop the pretentious act (at least for the moment) and shut his mouth?


Cause the part about the royalists having been more helpful seemed to have hurt.

Recap of OOC for Ken and Kintire
Some successful rolls and a bit of very fast combat. Everything important is in the IC.

He's not being tricky, now. This is brutal honesty.
He does not care much how the dwarf reacts, but a display of anger is what he expects,
Either the dwarf shuts up, this obeying Gnorric's command to him, or he says/does something.
If he attacks, GNORRIC will withdraw and counterattack.
If he kicks the chest or otherwise throws a tantrum, GNORRIC simply scoots out of range.
If he keeps talking smack, GNORRIC will mock him.

Which outcome do you prefer? Cause it's a success (except the fight which would require deception, not intimidation).

EDIT: I'll go with shut up, cause it fits better at the time.

Knowing what I know ( player knowledge)I will do this random roll.

1 shuts his pie-hole

2 grabs and kicks the chest in a fit of dorf fury

3 loses his cool and starts liberally insulting not just GNORRIC, but any of the others he has had issues with or mistrusts

4 mumbles apology and steps aside to let GNORRIC check the chest

Indeed. I had to do it random roll to be fair, on account of player knowledge.

In any case, you get inspiration. If you already had inspiration... you gain nothing. Sorry.

Inspiration: You can use your inspiration after you roll a d20 (but before I say whether it's a success or failure) to reroll. Unlike advantage, you MUST keep the 2nd roll even if it's worse.

Oh, and Gnorric nearly trolled Burdur to death. :lol:

I would suggest giving that grim calling of the house more emphasis.

I hope you know the drill by now. Roll dex, adding your bonus with thief tools to disarm the trap. DC 16. Failure by 5 or more causes ... the darts to hit the wall panelings\table\shield you put in front.
