Jitter being a thief in the crowd of onlookers

Jitter started to sneak away, until he saw that huge coin purse dangling from some fat rich bafoon.
A wicked grin crept along the side of Jitter's face, as he tried to sneak into the crowd of onloookers. Rolled 10+7=17 Stealth.

He dodged in and out of the crowded people, until he was mere inches from the coin purse.
Jitter clicked his thumb against something metallic in his sleeve, and out popped a three inch razored blade. Sleight of Hand 12+7=19.

@HEAVY METAL

I'd like a perception check first before any of that happens.

@The Large Dumbo

Well that was pretty much going to be the case regardless. I won't penalize you for the low roll.

D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

A woman dressed as a member of the milita, and with some apparent rank, turns to Matthew's.

"This man, a Red Wizard of Thay named Dzaan, murdered some adventures that had previously aided us. The act was done in cold blood. He tried to hide himself with magic be we were able to see through it. Who are you?"

@HEAVY METAL

Is Jitter still hiding in the crowd?

D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

<Snipped quote by Lurking Krog>

Okay, he will just stay where he is, and try to pick up on any conversations that would explain what was happening.

@HEAVY METAL

Right, I'll get you that information in a bit. Jitter is also a bit warmer as many of the people are gathering in closer to get what warmth the fire is putting off.

The man is not struggling nor crying out in pain by the way.

D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Not reasonably so. You wouldn't have anyway to hide since it is an open area and no where on or around the pyre to hide while you cut his bonds. You would also be taking fire damage for each round your up there.

The fact that the milita are present and preforming this are enough to key you in that this person has done something to these people to warrant this kind of punishment.

@The Large Dumbo

With that check you can see the wisps of flames around the person as it appears the townsfolk have condemned this person to death. You do also here some shouts of murderer among other accusations towards the person.

@HEAVY METAL

You are able to get close enough to see the same sight and hear the same accusations, though you notice that it is robed man bound and gagged to a post in the middle of the pyre. So far you don't think anyone has noticed you.

Both of you know its to late to save the man, and it would probably cause issues with the townsfolk given the current mood of said people.

D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

You still can be but regardless I'll leave that decision to you all.

Anyone else going with Jitter to see what the crowds about?

Kythor's good for keeping the journey quiet on his side, he doesn't really have much to talk about that he hasn't already brought up. Unless somebody asks, I'll assume he's probably not light a torch to help see.

@The Large Dumbo

Alright. Only mentioned the possible need for a torch for the human and the halfling.

D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Dwarves and gnomes do.

I don't remember if halflimgs had it back in 3.5
