[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5859969, member: 52403"] [b]Pssst I'm in disguise ...[/b] The next morning after a well deserved lie in the party meet downstairs for breakfast; that is all except Grembor. They are consuming the burnt bacon and underdone eggs they have been served with a weak beer when a distinguished looking gentleman with a large dark moustache sits down at their table unannounced and starts digging into their breakfast. It’s only as hands start creeping to daggers and other implements of painful diplomacy does the newcomer seem to realise his dilemma; “Pssst it is I, Grembor” he hisses through his new fake moustache. “I’m in disguise” he says then goes on to tell of the mob chasing him through the streets last night but fails to update them on the fitful night’s sleep he had. They finish off breakfast and stroll out into the late morning’s sunshine. [I]DMNote: Really good disguise roll by Grembor makes for a very convincing disguise.[/I] The group head out to Judge Daramid’s house and are let in as the Judge is having some tea in her sitting room.
