Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 11456" data-source="post: 6244796">An Unexpected VisitorA group of six guards, heavily armed and ready for trouble, come into the cell led by a fat well-dressed sergeant of the watch. Everyone recognizes Sergeant Tomas Blackerly. This was the man who held the brand that marked each of you. He laughed as your skin burned. Right now, though the sergeant seems a little dazed.[sblock=Sense Motive DC 25*]The sergeant seems to be under the effect of some enchantment.[/sblock]OOC: *No need to show rolls in a case like this. Just make a Sense Motive roll on your own. If your total is 25 or more then your character knows what is in the sblock.He points to Armides Diat and says gruffly:“You there! That’s the scum! Get ‘em unshackled. If any of you makes trouble, they’ll earn a thrashing! Today’s your lucky day, scum. You’ve got a visitor. How you ever warranted such a fine lady is beyond me. Seems she wants to say good-bye. Now step lively. We wouldn’t want to keep her waiting.”What should be immediately apparent to Armides is that he is expecting no one.Armides is unchained, lead out of the cell and through the only door out of this room. Four of the guards remain in the cell while the other two go with the Sergeant as they “escort” Armides out.[sblock=GlassEye]Armides is escorted roughly to a meeting room down the hall and shoved into a chair. There waiting for him is a hauntingly beautiful woman in an elegant black dress and soft silken veil. She looks as if she is headed to a funeral. Her hair is so platinum as to almost be white and her eyes are a vibrant almost unearthly green. She clearly has been weeping.“Oh, dearest,” proclaims the unfamiliar woman. “I’m so relieved you’re alive!” She quickly turns to Tomas. “Could we please have a moment alone, good sir? For pity’s sake?”Tomas goes blank for a bit and then quickly agrees. “Of course, my lady. For you, ’tis no problem.”[sblock=Sense Motive DC 15]Somehow this woman has power over the guard.[/sblock]As soon as the guards leave, the woman’s demeanor immediately changes. She drops all pretense of grief or concern. She is immediately all business.“Have you forgotten me, dearest?” the unexpected visitor says with a smirk, dropping her pretense of grief. “Call me Tiadora. We possess a mutual friend who would like to meet you and your fellow cell-mates. Unfortunately, our friend is unwilling to visit you in your present rather shabby accommodations so it seems you must escape. Don’t be so dour. Just because it’s never been done before is no reason you can’t be the first.If you manage that, cross the moors on the outskirts of town. On the old Moor Road you’ll see a manor house with a single lantern burning in the second story. There our mutual friend waits. That is all I know. He did want me to give you this.”She takes off her silken veil and wipes away a few fake tears with it.“Something to remember me by, dearest.”OOC: Until you are returned to the room with your cell we will keep this in sblocks.[/sblock]OOC: While we have this brief interlude everyone else can continue to act. Just remember that there are four well armed guards with you.</blockquote>
