Brave New Planes

[Paxus Asclepius]

"yes, it is as my friend says. We do not wish to invade, we are merely passing through, looking for a portal to another plane. Perhaps we can find it quickly and vacate your territory. Perhaps you wouldn't mind showing us the way out of your territory so that we do not offend you."

Sandorel bows slightly to the apparent leader of the new arrivals. He keeps his voice confident but respectful.
"It is as the lady said. We are peaceful travellers, unfamiliar with the customs of this land. If we have transgressed against any of your laws I assure you that it was done unintentionally. We do not wish to cause you or your nation any harm.

"Perhaps we can allow you to travel, though we must escort you, to ensure that you do not stray into dangerous places. Of course, there is the small matter of the border tax. 100 pieces of platinum per person is the usual fee."

And allow you to lead us into an ambush?

He studies the leader surreptitiously, trying to judge wether or not he's hostile and appears likely to betray them.

"Why would I try to ambush you? I have enough force here to kill you now, with no harm to myself, should I desire it. I am simply inclined to let you live, as you are either brave enough or foolish enough to actually attempt to talk your way past a border patrol. I'd like to see what becomes of you."

You appear to have convinced him that you don't actually intend any harm, and you continue to intrigue him enough that he'll let you live for now. He's just looking to keep an eye on you, and make a little cash on the side.

Sandorel grins "That is a worthy motivation, and I am inclined to agree to your proposal." "How about you?" -He says turning to the rest of the group.

[Endur]

The Cimmerian is the least impressive of the group of astral travelers. He is not the size of a giant like the hellspawn or the one with many auras. No taint of enchantments are on his items. Almost, he looks out of place in this group.

When the dragon rider claims to have enough force to slay them all without risk, the Cimmerian laughs. (Intimidation check: +27)

 

[GoldenEagle]

Rynin agrees to pay the fee. after the border guards are not looking, Rynin turns to Kelnar. "let's see if you can get us to where we are going."

Kelnar tries to look at the portal key without raising the notice of the new escort and if possible will open a gate to the neccessary demiplane once the group is ready.

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

When Sandorel turns to the others Brystasia nods her head in agreement. While pulling out her share she thanks to herself, A 100 Platinum isn’t worth the destruction of such beautiful creatures.

OOC: I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear: the plane you're trying to get to can only be accessed by a portal here, on the Astral.

Kelnar begins concentrating, and begins slowly drifting off. He tells Rynin "To move here, you need only think about your destination. The key should guide me there, but the rest of you should follow me." He then begins picking up speed. The githyanki who first spoke shouts something in a tongue you do not understand, and one of his riders begins following Kelnar.

Sandorel looks at the fleeing wizard, and curses quietly to himself. "Impetuous fool!" He glances at the others to see how they react to the situation, which may well prove insoluble without resorting to violence. He prepares for the inevitable.

The githyanki following Kelnar doesn't appear to be hostile; it appears that he is the promised escort.
