Involvement

Act One

Approaching the Frightened Ox in the barn behind the inn triggers a conversation. He thinks the party are part of the raiders and then tries to attack if the party choose one of the following options:

• Back away.
• Defend yourself.

Otherwise, the party can try to perform an Ability Check to pacify him:

• [ANIMAL HANDLING] Interpret his behaviour. (DC 10)
  • [PERSUASION] Hold out your hands peacefully. (DC 10)
  • [INTIMIDATION] Square your stance and face him directly. (DC 10)
  • [BERSERKER] [PERFORMANCE] Stare down the beast. (DC 5)
  • [BARBARIAN] [PERFORMANCE] Stare him down, as you have so many beasts in the wild. (DC 5)
  • [RANGER] [DRUID] [PERFORMANCE] Bow deeply - a submissive gesture. (DC 5)

If using  Speak with Animals, the check is slightly easier and no animal handling check is required:

• [PERSUASION] Look at me - I'm not a monster. (DC 5)
• [INTIMIDATION] Stay back. I don't want to hurt you, but I will. (DC 5)
• [DRUID] [PERSUASION] Calm, friend. I won't harm you. (DC 5)
• [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] BACK DOWN, BEAST. (DC 5)
• [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] Back down. Or else. (DC 5)

However, he attacks Drow on sight, if using Speak with Animals.
