Honestly I had envisioned a scene where he see's someone being attacked (justly or unjustly) and physically throws himself in the middle to protect them
bonus points if he can break up the fight by talking
Lord Northface, lost in the Forest as everyone becomes on their first (second, third, fourth) visits to it, hears a loud argument and shrill screams. On a sunny hilltop in a small glade, a bright green dragon the size of two horses is attacking a youngish man in tattered robes. Nearby, a beautiful woman in court dress cowers, screaming.
The dragon and Lord Northface are tied at +1. Suggestions for how to resolve the tie? We could roll, or we could say it makes sense for one to go first.
I believe so, but Kirby's going before him. We'll stick with these initiative scores even if individuals move between social and physical actions, for simplicity's sake.
Kirby: I believe you just dared the dragon to try eating you, and it accepted.
> He rides up the hill, and places his mount between the (swooning?) lady and the dragon and calls out "These people are under my protection dragon, move along!"
Give yourself a FP for that compel, and I suggest you consider using it to compel the dragon to attack you on its next turn; don't have to decide until it's turn, of course.
She's fair at histrionics, so that's a +2. If anyone can justify attempting to stop her from doing this, roll defense. Otherwise, it's an automatic success and her roll is just for determining the difficulty of removing it from the scene later.
The dragon lunges at Lord Northface, and at the last second spins around, trying to knock him over with its tail instead of using its teeth on that armor.
