<div class="floatleft">(http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9462/nishkaside.jpg)</div><strong>Note:</strong>I don't have any points in local knowledge and it can't be used untrained. Can I use a combination of Bardic Knowledge and Bluff to improvise? :P<br/><br/><strong>Action:</strong>Nishka attempts to use Bardic Knowledge (rolled a 13, with modifiers) to come up with something interesting about Darkon. If she can't, she creates an interesting story to tell the matriarch of the gypsy tribe, using her Bluff skill (rolled an 18, with modifiers). If neither skill is applicable, then she's just roleplaying below.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Nishka gazed about curiously as she traveled through the gypsy camp. All around, colorful characters plied their arts and hawked their charms.<strong>"Gypsies,"</strong>she said, giggling to herself. The human girl was always fond of the Vistani, although she understood that she could never be a part of their world.<br/><br/>It's wasn't long before she was brought before an older woman, the matriarch of the Vistani tribe.<strong>"Oh, now? The news?,"</strong>she asked, blushing a bit. She honestly hadn't thought it all out; she just knew that she didn't want to pay twenty-five gold pieces to stay the night at the gypsy camp.<br/><br/><strong>"Well, I...the truth is that I'm a bit uncertain...if the rumors are true or not. But I've always felt a certain bonding to your people, Miss. I was recently in Darkon, and there were stories that Vistani were being attacked whenever they strayed off alone."</strong>Nishka shifted a bit and smiled confidently.<strong>"No one is certain if it's some doing of the ruler of those lands, Azalin Rex, or if it's,"</strong>and here she paused, pondering her next words.<strong> "Or if it's something darker and more nefarious, but I would be careful if I were you. There's definitely danger to be had if your tribe travels that way."</strong><br/><br/>The girl's face was solid and trustworthy, but her mind was reeling!<strong><em>Dangerous? Darkon is dangerous? Dummy, of course it's dangerous. Everywhere in these gods-forsaken lands is dangerous.</em></strong>She gazed at the older woman, trying to look confident.<strong>"And that's...well...that's it. Good to know, hmm? Important, even."</strong>Nishka shifted uncomfortably under the woman's eyes.<br/><br/><strong>"So,"</strong>she said, with a nervous laugh.<strong>"Is there any chance I might be able to trouble you for a reading? Do you use Tarroka cards?"</strong>She kicked at a rock near her feet.<strong>"I...I could use some guidance."</strong><br/>
