"Damnit. We need to find a place to stay and reset ourselves. Attempting to get back into the city and look for him in our current state isn't realistic. Come on."
[sblock=oc]not sure about the lay of the land out here, but can we find someplace to stay other than this place nearish enough that we are going to walk forever to get there? preferably some 'safe enough' inn where we might have to fend off locals but aren't going to stand out on either side of average. mostly we just need to try to rest without getting in another encounter(or at least i think so) [/sblock]

Day 46
The trio looks around a bit, but it seems that most of the people in the caravan park simply camp out. Deciding it would be safer to camp some distance away, the trio finds a relatively secluded spot, sets watches, and rests.
Fortunately, the night passes without incident.
A light rain comes with the dawn. Gloomily, the rain begins to worsen as the sun rises further. Before the trio is even ready to break camp, the sky is dark and a torrential downpour soaks them thoroughly.

Nethezar adds, "Since... the cube incident," he says omniously, "I have become extremely adept at utilizing disguise kits. Further, I have magic that can enhance my own disguise and can give me the ability to... 'sell' is the term... even a barely plausible story to the gate guard."
[sblock=OOC]Also, Neth has an ID spell open for today, though I assume you won't take the time until later.[/sblock]

"I have no means to obscure my appearance, so without assistance from one of you, i will require a different method."
"I would like to take some time to send a message to Eligos, if possible. Should he be alive and able to respond i would like to know anything we can."
[sblock=oc]
I wanna use sending assuming there are no objections.
25 word max, and eligos can respond(not sure under what conditions he couldn't):
I'll say: "Guards looking for us. Returning to city and will seek you unless you respond negavitely. if you are free and safe we can meet elsewhere."
Should do.

"We can likely provide you with assistance on a disguise."[sblock=oc]cool 
. I love using seldom used spells! Also, I feel like there has to be a way for Neth to use the kit on Kush, I suppose it would change the appearance still and therefore give him the +2 circumstance bonus, but maybe not effect the disguise skill check itself since Kushnak is doing the 'acting'. Maybe I'm not right though, I dunno... Also I'm going to Portland for a couple days and may or may not be online much.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Interesting... The text of the disguise skill clearly contemplates creating a disguise for oneself. But is there any reason Neth can't use his skill to create a disguise for Kush? In any case, using disguise self and glibness, Neth has +24 disguise and +44 to bluff before any dice are rolled. So, he could probably help you guys make even just minor changes in appearance, and make a major change to himself coupled with a whopper of a story that would be sufficient to get you in the gate.
But, I'll hold off on that and just give you Eligos' response for now...[/sblock]
Nethezar nods. "I should be able to do something. But, yes, let us send a message to the sage first."
Kushnak mumbles and gestures for several minutes and touches Eligos with his message. Immediately thereafter, the sage responds, "Come to my home, if you can safely do so. I shall endeavor to ease issues with the guard."

Kushnak focuses intently before abruptly lifting his head and errupting "Damnit. We are being led to a trap. And it is the kind of trap we can not do without. Eligos told us quite explicitly his home was compromised..... gah.... he has responded, and asked us to meet him at his home."
"We have no choice. Eligos answered my call, and he is the answerer to all our questions. Even if he is compromised, and this is a setup, we need the results, the... damnit."
Kushank paces violently. Stomping and clearly attempting to destroy the very earth under his feet.
"We must. Prepare me as you can, stay close at the gate though, we may have to prematurely depart."
[sblock=oc] if i can do anything that doesn't make my disguise worse, i'll try.[/sblock]
