Silvia Wormwood (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=29484) - HP 29/29 - AC 21 - Diminutive<br/><hr/><br/>Moving a little closer, Silvia took up the nearest perch that would allow her to listen in on the conversation going on without risking her getting bumped into by anyone.  It appeared that the local reeve had attempted to convince them to move on, and with good reason considering all the adventurers who had already disappeared or died in the town, but they were all remaining adamant about their desire to stay.  It was probably due to some combination of a perfectly understandable lust for the gold that had been promised and that inscrutable drive to do good that so many mortals seemed to get from time to time.<br/><br/>For her part, the Imp found it more productive to catalogue their differing approaches and reactions to things.  The priestess or paladin, true to her profession, was taking the diplomatic approach, while a more rough-and-tumble, sword-wielding companion of hers was going for intimidation.  Was this the famed 'good cop, bad cop' approach that so many stories liked to reference?<br/><br/>The third member of the group, who was an elf in contrast to her two human companions, was allowing the more talkative members of the party to do the talking while she kept a sharp eye out.  That was certainly a smart move to take, if she wasn't much of a talker herself.<br/><br/>And then there was the reaction of the town reeve...  The Imp had chosen to follow this trio to see what sort of information might surface after they started stirring things up around town, so of course she paid sharp attention to how the man they were currently dealing with was reacting to their words.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sense Motive roll to get a 'gut assessment of the social situation', as described in the Sense Motive skill description.
