D&D References
- Haley takes advantage of her high Bluff score to beat Roy's Sense Motive rolls despite the fact that her lies are outrageous enough that Roy should get a +5 at least to his Sense Motive checks. A later gag in On the Origin of PCs reveals that Roy has no ranks in Sense Motive (it being cross-class).
Trivia
- Haley fletches her standard arrows with green feathers.
