His lips pulled back in a quick grimace; well, that's... absurd and disgusting-looking! He looked back to the others in the boat.<strong>"The natives come bearing pointy gifts!"</strong>He then looked back to the gillblins and started to raise a hand in greeting, calling out in Goblin,<strong><em>"HEY! Not-stupid-heads! May your mother be fat with pickles and all your dogs die in a fire!"</em></strong>he has no idea if these creatures speak Goblin, or speak at all, but he<em>is</em>sure that this is a polite, even painfully formal greeting in that tongue.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Initiative: At 2018-02-28 23:41:49, Perth (uid: 27361) rolls: 1d20a4 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=114785)<br/><br/>Also, as a free action, using Knowledge: Dungeoneering (since <em>I</em> know what these are) to identify the critters: At 2018-02-28 23:48:53, Perth (uid: 27361) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 20 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=114788)<br/><br/>So what does he know about Goblinsharks? Squidlins? </div></div><br/><br/>Assuming that the creatures either don't respond in kind, or begin to behave in an aggressive manner, he brings his Mandolin around, and begins to strum, crooning out,<br/><strong>"I've fallen in love- I don't know why<br/>   I've fallen in love with a girl with one eye.<br/><br/>   I knew from the start. It was plain to see <br/>   That this wonderful girl had an eye out for me<br/><br/>   She's charming and witty and jolly and jocular<br/>   Not what you'd expect from a girl who's monocular.<br/><br/>   Of eyes - at the moment - she hasn't full quota<br/>   But that doesn't change things for me one iota..."</strong><br/><br/>...And is attempting to<em>Fascinate</em>whichever of these horrifying tentacular monstrosities seems most feminine. Because he's a bard,<em>that's why</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fascinate</div><div class="spoiler_body">The critter gets a Will Save vs. DC 13; if it fails, it sits there (treads water there?) and enjoys the performance quietly, while also taking a -4 to Skill checks made as reactions (example, perception.) Any threat against the creature gives it another save check. it requires the target to see and hear him, but <em>isn't</em> language-dependent<br/><br/>I have to note that Fascinate will not work if there is already such a threat, or if combat is engaged; I'm <em>hoping</em> that since i got high initiative and the critters aren't attacking yet, that combat is not yet engaged, and there are no immediate threats to the prettiest of the unholy squamous aberrations of the deep. If that's not the case then Fascinate just plain wouldn't work and if possible, I'll just swap to Inspire courage instead.</div></div>
