But as group progress in more open diplomatic manner towards Ravenmoor, feeling bit more relieved go there as group than split up. In ferryman situation Damien takes lead and men step aside to allow them go through first but Damien had not provided yet anything for ferryman itself; man is doing a honest work and most everywhere ferrymen ask payment some kind to cross rivers.<br/><br/>So Valter decides to play in diplomacy here and bit generosity grease gears so to speak as it's his own gold so he hands ferryman Cardzi two golds coin from his pouch and says to him; "Take this as payment to get us and our wagons across, which will be hard work for sure and also pay for these gentlemen crossing. But I would ask you kindly reconsider on price of the crossing the river for future. Locals do not earn lot of coin overall so more fairer is perhaps measured in coppers than silvers aye? Perhaps think use locals discount price as they provide for local community and for you and silver for strangers who provide nothing else to locally?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Pray for Iomedae (guidance) and then move in talk and pay 2gp from own pouch, perhaps gross overprice amount for service given (to lower diplomacy DC maybe) but it's overall used to earn good will and perhaps gratitude of local ferryman (may be useful perhaps) while trying promote a better local ferry practice while at it. Using diplomacy to get Cardzi agree/consider proposal. Or perhaps Valter's gold + his roll works as aid another for Damien's roll (would make most sense maybe).<br/><br/>Diplomacy: 8+4 = <strong>12</strong> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=127898)<br/>Guidance bonus next skill roll: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=127899)</div></div>
