[QUOTE="Morgaine, post: 124544, member: 2393"] Deke, in an attempt to distract the guards, decides to act the part of the Good Samaritan. While he is ostensibly "seeing to the needs" of the unconscious baronet, Deke picks his pockets. Of course, now that he is no longer forced to carry a fairly heavy bag of jewels and rings, Baronet Gobrey may well have an easier time of it, even if that’s not exactly what the law enforcement had in mind by taking care of him. In an impressive non-display of dexterous talent, Deke slips this bag in his underwear. As he later confesses, “They won’t grab the family jewels.” Sgt. Tumbleson orders his men to search the suspects and take “everything”. At this, Fergus questions the Sgt. “everything??” Upon receiving confirmation that he has, indeed, heard correctly, Fergus strips and stands in the room wearing nothing but his red hair and freckles. Borin laughs aloud at the crazy halfling. Deke sniggers. Gemma looks exasperated, Marja shakes her head and Kalina shrugs and rolls her eyes. Poor Morgaine is thunderstruck, sputtering and stammering, and averts her eyes with a desperate plea to Fergus to clothe himself. Sgt. Tumbleson comments on Fergus’ endowment (or lack thereof) and orders him to get dressed again. When the Baronet awakens and claims that he has been robbed, the Sgt dismisses his wailings because the “party’s been searched,” which causes another wave of chuckles from guards and adventurers alike. Much to the dismay of our steadfast heroes, Baronet Gobrey does not recall ever hearing Lord Dobberick admit to being a worshipper of Mormo, thereby immediately slicing large holes in their story and casting them even further into the shadow of guilt. He does, however, remember enough of the events to challenge Borin and Xenia to duel for the assault on his lover, his person and his honor. Borin, a barbarian dwarf, looks at the fop’s flimsy rapier and laughs heartily. Xenia, a walking tin can in full spiked plate mail, also looks bemused. A chuckle also spreads through some of the guard. Deke, never one to be left out, challenges Gobrey to a duel for challenging Borin and Xenia to duels. Gobrey readily agrees. Amidst discussion of how the Baronet lost his memory, the Sgt. commands the “lawbreakers” to surrender their arms and spell components. Xenia agrees providing she can retain her spiked armor. Borin says there are no words for “surrender your arms” in Dwarvish, then lets out a stream of Dwarven obscenities and refuses. Fergus translates for the guards by saying that it loosely means “over my dead body will you pry this out of my cold, rigid hands.” Eventually, cooler heads prevail and Marja convinces Borin that cooperating now may bolster their case later. Reluctantly, he agrees but the pain is clearly written in his face. Sgt. Tumbleson moves the party out as Borin leans over to Deke and whispers, “Next time, we do your plan and burn this place down!” Fortunately, the guards do not hear or feign indifference. [/QUOTE]
