[QUOTE="IndyPendant, post: 2085052, member: 8738"] You study this young man, unable to believe that someone this naive and foolish could be genuine. But as you carefully watch his body language and guage hjs eyes, you have to concede you're in the presence of a master. It's a [i]good[/i] disguise. It seems entirely genuine. Ydyr and Dengar meanwhile watch the innkeeper and the other guests. The group of guests quickly decide, under their scrutiny, to lose interest in your conversation and lean towards each other, talking quietly amongst themselves, with only an occasional nvervous glance from them coming your way. The innkeeper though shows no reluctance, and watches you all intently, not even blinking when Ydir and Dengar catch him at it. When Redithidoor orders another ale, he brings it almost immediately. [b]"Now, don't go scaring my guests away on the busiest night I've had in years, lad!"[/b] He's trying for humour, but it's obvious something is worrying him, and his tenseness is directed mostly at the group of you. [size=1]((Sense Motive on Redithidoor. Ydyr: 14+5=19. Lehko: 3+4=7.))[/size] Redithidoor waves him away, grinning dismissively. [b]"Oh posh, Garon. They're good people. I can tell.
