The priest smiles and pats Bajer on the head. "Nothing's wrong. We're just a bit busy for the harvest festival, that's when we bring the food from all the farms, and we have to get a big party ready for everyone! It's all a bit hard to do, but everything's just fine, so don't you worry yourself." It's not a lie, or not exactly, atleast. It is october, and it is almost time for the annual harvest festival, but that usually doesn't worry anyone. Also, the surface thoughts that you detected seem to suggest that someone rather important died.


((by the way, thailand is scrapped, I'll just be heading off to somewhere some time for 2 weeks.))

Sounds like we're not going to find out anything more in the publicly accessible areas. Di, could you be a dear and start checking the clergy only areas? Bajer, lets open the door for her. If anyone asks, just tell them you're looking for your mommy.

 

[Stormwind]

As Di wanders over to a clergy only area and waits for Bajer to open the door, she replies mentally to the others, Clergy are concerned ... and evading the truth ... not quite lying ... seems like somebody died recently ... somebody important ... I'm waiting by the entrance to the vestry ... Bajer, just a bit to your left

Bajer looks around sees a nearby door. Peering around cautiously, he approaches it and slowly reaches for a handle, attempting to open the door without drawing any attention to himself. He remains alert, yet tries to look like a curious child nonetheless.

The room is more magnificient than all of the rest of the temple combined. It is a high dome with a glass ceiling, designed to bring the sun in. The Sun Codex(bible equivelant) lies on a pedestal at the far end, trees grow around the marble room, and a fountain streams constantly in the centre. Priests stand around a marble platform, wearing the black robes of mourning. On the pedestal lies the figure of a man, wreathed in a white and gold silken cloth. A solemn, mourning chant issues forth from what appears to be the high priest.

They do not seem to notice Bajer.

Di, still invisible, peers through the door over Bajer's shoulder. Noticing that there seems to be a funeral going on she mentally speaks to the others, "Oops ... seems like someone did die and they're having the funeral in here ... perhaps we shouldn't intrude too much ... what do you guys think?"

She tries to detect the surface thoughts of the priests towards the rear of the funeral group.

 

[Voidrazor]

Isobet gives the mental equvalent of a shrug. As long as they don't know we're intruding I don't see the problem. And with any luck at all Brightstar will be in attendance. If so, we can give him a discreet psychic interview as soon as the ceremony is over.

 

[cog_and_taz]

The surface thoughts vary quite a bit: most are just thinking about the death/funeral, one is just hungry, and a few others seem to be thinking about some kind of theft, which the death seems to be linked to.

So I'm entering then? Well here goes nothing. Bajer creep forward and tries to stay as quiet as possible.

Move Silently (1d20+4=22)
Spot to notice anything about the funeral (1d20+2=22)

[sblock=OOC]An 18 and a nat 20! I'm on fire tonight! If only we were in combat . . . By the way, did that tiara disguise my equipment? Namely my greataxe, which is as tall as me. Is is disguised as a dagger or am I not carrying it for sake of secrecy and convienence?[/sblock]

 

[cog_and_taz]

No one seems to notice you, but you don't spot anything out of the ordinary, either. [SBLOCK=OOC] you aren't carrying the axe, not unless you want to be.[/SBLOCK]The funeral forms a procession and marches out through the back door into the temple garden, chanting solemnly.
