[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9269123, member: 20459"] [I]Seeing the small boy's focus firmly up at the large warden, masked and carrying shield and longsword, [B]MYLISTRA [/B]acts quickly and quietly. First she murmurs, "stay absolutely still! Don't move until you hear me say, 'let's go,' then follow us." Then a cloud of darkness instantly descends upon the party, except for Toriq and the older goblin standing next to him. Ignoring the quiet intakes of breath that a couple of prisoners make, the witch then whispers insistently, "[I]Tryfsza, was it? Do you know your roommate's name? Quietly, now!" Listening intently to the answer, Mylistra nods to herself unseen, committing the name to memory, and then she leaves the cloud. From the small boy's point of view, one moment there are these two figures, the taller one staring down at him from a very great height, and then suddenly a third figure appears, not quite so tall, but definitely tall. She greets him in a kind and friendly manner - albeit still masked - and asks him to remind her of his name. "J-j-j-jasper...," he stammers. "That's right: Jasper! So glad to see you again! We've gotten a little twisted in this maze, but could you point us in the squadroom's direction? Zeljka sent us to bring this one, Sneaky? Snickcha? - something like that," she shrugs, "but we're to bring this one for more questioning: she has more information to tell us!" At Jasper's shaky pointing down the corridor, the tall woman murmurs a thanks, adding, "can we keep this between us, Jasper? Us getting lost and all? I don't need to be the butt of [B]every[/B] joke, you know?" Jasper, the smallest worker in the kitchen [B]does[/B] know, and he nods eagerly. "Now, is that sack going onto the shelf, or is it coming off? Do you need a hand?" When he looks up at the shelf, far too high for him, and sighs, the woman takes the sack out of his hands and places it back onto the shelf. "There! Now, off you go, and not a word, right?" she says in a conspiratorial manner. Jasper grins and hustles back into the kitchen. Once he has turned the corner, Mylistra quietly says, "Let's go," and the others follow them, exiting the shadows.[/I][/I] [HR][/HR] * Mylistra uses her encounter power Cloud of Darkness to hide most of the group for a +2 Power Bonus to * her Primary Skill Bluff check to convince young Jasper, a susceptible child, that they are supposed to be there and that they've met some time before: r12+9+2 Power Bonus = 23 vs 14 Moderate DC.
