Discordian Promise

Scoring some extra respect for Midas and Skitter.

Result: 1d20 [5] + Persuasion [13] = 18

...Plus whatever else I might have missed. An assistance check would be nice.

Okie-dokie-Tom Hiddleston!

Might not help directly but... I figure a living shiny, seeming to bow towards the Shinymaker, might help his rep a little. Figure that channelling magic like that would count as Arcana, so...

Arcana [10] + d20[11]= 21
Assisting Skitter, so that's +1 to my roll.

Plus, grandeur is in effect (I think) so Skitter gets +1 to her roll.

Is Laughter still active? If so... +2 a piece, please.

Persuasion to make them stop.

Person=5+roll=1=6

...why?

Afraid you're going to have to roll initiative

I've got to get back into writing these in an interesting fashion.
Perception check to look for Marked Questions: 16+5=21
Possibly completely unnecessary, since he may be about to cartwheel in. Also possibly because I think he might be underground.
