Pfffft 9 prolly surface level gossip and nothing more.
Yeah, that would be just surface level gossip.
I will say for the purposes of this game, the Surface Level Gossip includes the fact that Yuan-Ti are very intelligent...potentially dangerously so. He's even heard that Yuan-Ti parents teach their children to not feel emotions (full on dissuade them from feeling emotions), in order to make sure that their actions are not influenced by said emotions.
How much does the average person know about Yuan-ti other than bias and right out distrust. No trying to sabotage, Gabe wouldn't likely know all that much about snake people but on the off chance he must have heard about the people. Maybe off handed gossip at a tavern or the like.
Hmm...I'm going to have to ask for a History, Nature, or Arcana check for that answer. ^
You up for a Tie Scene between Emily and Luka? After helping Ashley with her father, he's very keen on boasting about this to her after that whole 'frat boy' incident during Canned Heat.
Kilona sees the cogs turning behind his eyes, but other than that, she couldn't really get a good read on him. She listens and watches as the guard makes his comments in realization. She looks at the edges of the stone when he points out the tool marks in the stone. Before she could say anything else, the guard decides that he needed to go and tell Delgren immediately.
With a word of thanks, he took off leaving her alone in the storehouse. "H-Hey!" Her word simply goes unheard as the guard takes off.
Whatever suspicions she had of the guard dissipated as one conclusion comes to mind about him. "That guy simply sucks at his job!"
She sighs and mutters, "Well then...."
She takes a moment to think about the situation. The guard practically left the place unguarded! If she left, anybody could take the items out from this place without issue. Though she is curious about the hole and where it lead. There's just one problem: She wasn't going to be able to fit in there to fully investigate.
But she was able to think of a solution that would solve both issues at once. She can stay in the room and guard it while that guard is away, but she is going to position herself by the hole. She made sure that whoever comes out of that hole, would not be able to see her if they peeked from the hole. They would have to come out of there to see her.
When they do...she would be ready to grab them...
She leans against the wall next to the hole, keeping an eye on the door and the hole, remaining quiet and alert. Her lion ears pin themselves against her head and her tail flicked away from the hole.
Kilona is going to guard the room, but she is use Stealth to hide herself from whoever uses the hole. She is ready to try and Grapple whoever comes out of the hole.
I love how Skobeloff is casually just like "I need to talk to Fellwing about unicorns" to all the NPCs
Like... I know why, and he knows why.
But to the npcs it would be akin to us saying, unprompted, "I need to go to talk to someone about pterodactyls".
NPC and Stargaze: "...Why do you need to talk to someone about unicorns/pterodactyls?" Skobeloff: "That's for me to know and for you to wonder!" Stargaze: "...Skobeloff, are you okay?"
