Kurik holds back when he sees Rondo, Cugel, and Bertrem trying to wrestle with the man.

Si'Nat spends his time swapping his bow for his sword.

Rondo, Cugel, and Bertrem succeed in grabbing the man.

** You need two more rounds of successfully "wrestling" the man, one to cause him to Fall and the third before you can pin him and can choose to do damage or whatever. Each time, he has a chance to break the hold. If you want specifics of how to "wrestle" let me know and I'll post it - it's common knowledge to you since it's in the Companion Player Handbook

Round 3: Man gets initiative

He fails to break the hold and instead Falls to the ground with Rondo, Cugel, and Bertrem trying desperately to hold onto him and looking like a game of Twister. :D

Anyone not involved in the wrestling want to do something or should I continue on?

(I'm going to back up a bit, get the bow back out and ready it, and let him try to break the hold... if so, fly away little arrow...)

"Steady now..."

As I stated earlier - I am keeping my eyes & ears out for "guards" since he called out for them... Also keeping an eye on Duchess...

Also, I say to the mage - "If you submit now, no harm shall come to you. We simply need information."

Si'Nat gets out his bow again.

So far, no one has come to the man's aid. But he's so busy snarling and growling and wrestling that he doesn't seem to have heard Patrick's words.

Round 4 - Party gets initiative.

The man is Pinned. Rondo, Cugel, and Bertrem have the option of inflicting damage (with the man trying to Save against it) or not...

(Completely off topic... but, we used to have a mage in our party years and years ago when you rolled your stats in order... he had an 18 strength and a 13 Int... he'd be the type who'd rather wrestle than cast a spell too...)

(* It was a long time ago, so not that I recall, though our barbarian though it'd be funny, so his INT was actually higher... a barbarian and a mage playing chess... funny, the barbarian consistently winning... Priceless! *)

The Tentacled One
No reason to let Si'Nat be the only psychotic member of this party. Cugel will inflict damage on this poor, helpless old man.

Rondo slaps the man's face open-handed, shouting, "Calm down you loony bird! Or I'll let the elf make a pincushion out o' ya'!"

Cugel tries to apply enough pressure to do some damage but the man is still squirming around so much as to foil his attempts.

In response to Rondo, the man shouts, "This is an outrage! An invasion of privacy! Detestable! The queen will hear about this!"

"The Queen will hear nothing if I shoot your loud mouthed butt! You can calm down, or have that happen..."

"Shoot me? Ha! Try it and you'll be hanged within the fortnight!"

"So you don't merely look dumb, you are as well. The Queen of Haven, dolt!"

** Aw, crap, I got so caught up with this, it's supposed to be the Princess, not Queen... :rolleyes: So substitute the two... again, it's your DM's fault, not the NPC...

(you just saved a man's life spidey... I was looking at how this was the palace of the silver princess - and knew a king and queen had to be present to make a princess - but queen was not in our story...)

"doesn't make sense this guy is undisturbed enough to be in bed with everything else going on in this palace guys..."

(I'm letting the guys handle this for now - but will release the arrow if he breaks the hold...)

"What the hell is going on here? Have you been sleeping through the fray? The princess is nowhere to be found, the castle has been under siege, and it is surrounded by a deadly aura preventing entry! We are here to investigate and try to restore things to their normal state."

"Do you think *I'm* stupid? Of course I know the castle's under siege! I've been trying to find a way to break the aura for days now. I was just taking a break before I was *rudely* interrupted! So get the hell off me!"

"Been trying to find a way to break the aura... permanently I'm sure... did you also know that there have been summons by the Protectors for those like us willing to help the palace?...

Another thing, how is it someone like yourself can just stay here and not be affected by everything else going on in here? "

"I didn't know the Protectors sent for help - I thought they were working on it themselves.

And it's been pretty quiet up here, the guards have been taking care of any intruders."

"Guards... Where are the guards? We haven't seen any, and most individuals we have run in to were turned to stone by a Medusa... you haven't noticed any of this?!"

Is anyone's BS detector going off? I am a bit worried since he looks like the stone version - is this an imposter?
