Discovery

Success Information

• Most Vulnerable Influence CheckMining Lore (DC 15) Herbert rightly believes the silver mine to be Engleher's most essential resource; he is utterly ignorant of how it works and easily dazzled by talk of mineralogy and metalurgy.
• Eligible Influence Checks As standard with most sentient creatures Herbert can be influenced with Diplomacy (DC 21), Deception (DC 21), and Intimidation (DC 24). Due to Engleher's economy Herbert is always willing to discuss Mining Lore (DC 15) or Engleher Lore (DC 16). The current Situation has opened Ludwig to more in-depth discussions of Medicine (DC 17). As a member of the ruling class approaches from Society (DC 19) are also entertained.
• Resistances The current crisis has steeled Herbert's resolve and checks in diplomacy and Intimidation fail one degree worse when they fail. Ludwig possesses an inherent prejudice against "monstrous" humanoids; Goblins and Orcs suffer a -2 penalty on influence checks on Ludwig.
• Weaknessesdespite his cool disposition, Herbert is smitten by Pabu Galand and having Pabu's endorcement reduces an influence DC on Herbert by 2.

Critical Failure Information

The Mayor is working with a band of Kobolds to Undermine Engleher to deliver it to their dragon master.
