Moment: Episode 19 - Pomper convincing the Sailors to work with him
Attribute Check: Charisma
Roll: Nat 1
Outcome: Martin yells out, "We need to get him before he gets us!" A pirate behind Pomper bashes him from behind, but Pomper is not easily taken out due to his thick dragonscale. "I mean you no harm! Don't attack!" says Pomper. A couple more sailors join in the attack. Pomper uses his shield to deflect any damage. "I don't believe that all of you want this. Why don't we put this up to a vote?" says Pomper as he skillfully blocks the attacks. No one answers. "Don't you believe in democracy? In righteousness?" says Pomper. Suddenly, Martin tells the others, "If you're with me, raise your hands."
Everyone raises their hands.
Pomper is morally defeated. To be ousted by the men he had just saved. Even though he's being attacked, he could not fight back the men who are just being fearful. Pomper takes out his mace, and the attacking sailors stop and step back. Martin yells, "I told you he was going to kill us!"
Pomper mutters, "No." The sailors look confused. Pomper continues, "I believe in democracy. If all of you don't trust me and want me gone, so be it. I can tell none of you are murderers, but all of you are afraid, so this is what I will do to ease your fears." Pomper takes the mace and bashes himself in the head. Pomper drops to the floor unconscious after hitting himself with enough for to knock himself out.
After a while, Pomper wakes up. His equipment is gone, and the sailors are nowhere to be seen. He thinks to himself that at least they weren't killers. He surveys the area and sees the footprints of the sailors heading into the jungle, then, suddenly, he hears a scream. It was a familiar scream coming from the jungle. It sounded exactly like one of the sailors. With his will tempered, he sets off into the Jungle. "I will save them."
