The Ogre speaks in a powerful voice, "Guards are not allowed in the Masque proper, but we have set aside a pleasant lounge for personal bodyguards. He may keep his sword, but any injury to other guards will be your responsibility, so don't get into any pissing contests with the other guards." The Ogre punctuates this last by proddeding Grond in the chest with a big sausagelike index finger hard enough to push him against the wall. The girl takes the weapons and offers a small brass chit with a number on it. As her hand touches Michael's he senses some small magic has been uses. The girl obviously notes his awareness and winks, "just a way to make sure you get your property back sir. Enjoy the party." The weapons are placed in storage out of sight. Once the formalities are despensed with the door opens. Michael notes with some interest that it is connected to the outside door by a set of massive metal gears, appearently to prevent more than one of the doors being open at a time. As you both pass into the dimly lit corridor beyond the Ogre adds, "Enjoy the Masque of the Grotto gentlemen." in a much more polite voice. The door closes behind you with a thump and a clank leaving you alone in the corridor. The sounds of muffled conversation and soft music come from somewhere ahead. OOC: Spot checks?</blockquote>
