The unrelenting attacks from the heroes fell two of the last three assassins. The last changeling killer, after being struck by both kal'Tarron and Czern, falls helplessly to his knees. Tears stream down his face.

Czern and kal'Tarron hear him mumble weakly, "We've failed. You've killed us all."

Seeing the last assassin surrender and a few of the assassins still breathing, the Karrnath ambassador screams angrily, arms waving, "They are still alive?! Kill them all!! Don't stay your hand!! And you!! (he rounds on Chael) Make that barrier go away! I'm leaving now!" The ambassador tries to grab a blade and moves to try to cut down the thorn wall by hand.

[sblock=insight 22] It appears the Karrnathi ambassador is acting a little irrationally...[/sblock]

"Hmmm. I wonder if any of the ambassadors here are Changelings. I've never seen anyone whose life was just saved act so rudely. I've never seen an ambassador act so rudely either. You are free to try to cut through it, but it won't work. It just regenerates. It'll only hurt a little if you walk through it though. Feel free." Chael says, glaring at the Karrnathi ambassador.""Well, maybe it'll hurt a lot." Chael laughs.

"We should guard the other two doors until a contigency of the guard can arrive." Chael says as an afterthought.

*Dusk, come here.*

Alexia bites her lip nervously as she looks around the room. She speaks softly as she approaches the ambassador, "Sir, it's alright, they pose no danger to you anymore. Surely we can question them first."

Malehan walks between the Karrnath ambassador and the wall of thorn. "Kill them? The actions of these assassins would have started a war if they would have been successful. I don't know if you remember teh Last War, but I don't wish to see another one like that during my lifetime. We will put them to question and make sure the get the head of this attempt, not only the hand.

And you won't leave. There might be others waiting for the first occasion to complete what those ahve failed to do. Like killing you.

With all due repsect, ambassador, I would think you want to kill these assassins before they could reveal who hired them and why they are doing it, and you want to leave to flee this place before you get caught for complicity. But you are too a respectable man to think these assumption to be true."

As he tells that Malehan take a good look at the ambassador to see how dangerous he can be.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Insight (1d20+9=14) for whatever in the SBLOCK

Diplomacy (1d20+4=16) for insulting and taunting the ambassador without him getting mad against Malehan.

Perception (1d20+21=27) to get a good look at the ambassador to see if he has any weapon or otehr hidden items, or if he is a changelling himself.[/SBLOCK]

OOC: auto-pass insight (30)

"Please ambassadors...you're alive, assassination is stopped, but we cannot guarantee your safety if you go out until the place is cleared."

The priest looks carefully at each ambassador, reading subtle signs and surface thoughts as the opportunity presents itself.

If he judges he can get away with it, he sends to each in turn
"A-HA! Got you!" then apologizes to each if there is no (un)expected or stupid reaction.

OOC: roll for me, [MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION], I know changelings have insane bonuses to masquarade, but I have pretty good insight (+20) too
