So here is my IC [hider=Lindir IC]Lindir would dart a glare at her when he was yet again denied an answer but then decided to go for a different approach. "If you really do see the future that you speak of you should be well aware I am part of what is to stop this power that will ravage this land of all life as you said...So I suggest you help me by sharing your knowledge in order for me to be prepared to stop it..." (Trying diplomacy here.) [hider2=If that does not work...]Lindir then stands up with his hands still placed on the table, getting increasingly frustrated that he does not get what he wants and he was tempted to seal and imprison her until she tells him what he wants to know but he quells his anger and looks over to the orb instead. "Then...If you really don't think I know what I speak of then perhaps you would not mind if I took a closer look at that orb?...I would really like to study it closer. It should be no danger in me holding it now would it?..." He said with a light smirk on his face as he slowly reaches out to grab the orb, waiting for her reaction. (I guess this would be intimidate or something unless she stops me even without a roll)[/hider2][/hider] Could you get circumstantial bonuses to checks and such if you say/do the right things? Like for example if there is a guy that wants an item you have really bad and you ask for another item he has in exchange for the other, making a diplomacy check you should get bonuses or something right?
