@Gent: d20 = (7) = 7

He digs through the sand for a few seconds and pulls out a rock.

“You uh.. realize that they’re at the ruins they just uncovered, right?”

Slap Chop: "Did you find the scrolls yet?"

James: "Nope, but I think this might be a clue."

James takes out a magical looking gun device.

He fires it at you.

Give me a will save.

welp

/r d20

@Rusp: d20 = (19) = 19

not today

Okay, you fight off his neural link gun

I’m going to stare him down

He looks back as if nothing happened.

I’m going to approach him

James: "Pfft, what do you want, kid?"

“Don’t ever use that shitty gun on me again, got it?”

James: "What gun?"

Is he still holding it

No, he immediately put it in his back pocket.

He's now trying to sidle away.

I’m going to attempt to take it from him

Give me a strength check

Fucking oof

Yeah

I think I’m just going to leave these guys

His eyes go bloodshot for a split second and he whacks your hand away.

Okay

I’m walking away

Watching James the entire time

Slap Chop: "Hey wait, you can't just walk away! You were paid for this!"

“No, no I wasn’t.”

Slap Chop: "What, you gave him 200 gold right James?"

James gives a nervous smile back to you guys.

Slap Chop: "So, you didn't even pay him and he still went with us...of all people?"

Patrick: "Wow, what a sucker AHAHAH!"

“I did it more to try and keep him from killing himself than for the money”

“But uh.. I can see that was a mistake.”

And I am leaving

watching James

Patrick: "Let me guess, he told you the adventure was the real reward!"

There voices grow distant.

Thank god

"Suckkkerrrrrr!!!"

To be fair

You're walkiing into the market place.

He did say I’d get a fair cut of the treasure

Alright

You see the nearest stand has an old dwarven man rummaging around behind a stand.

Guess I’ll go check it out

Peddler: "Ah, nnh, yes....eheh..."

He's throwing around various trinkets in his stand.

“Hello there sir”

Peddler: "Ahhh, hello sonny!"

"What can I do fer ya today?"

You see an a flash of light in the distance. An aurora borealis now hangs over your heads.

You know what

Peddler: "Eh, good lord! What's going on over there?"

“Nothing good, nothing good..”

Cmon

What

"What's that in the sky?!?"

Do I know what it is

It's an aurora borealis

Alright

I’ll inform the man of this

"A-Aurora borealis?!"

"At this time of year? In this part of the country? Localized entirely over this market?!"

“Must be some sort of spell”

"Naturally."

Peddler: "What be it today?"

“What have ya got?”

"I've got all kinds of things, yes yes!"

"I've got...scrollls..."
